Hi everyone,
I am volunteering for a charity event at work next Sunday. I intend to perform some close up etc with cards. I was just wondering what's usually good in these situations where I will walking around and pocket space is a premium. Whats good magic for kids as well that can be close up ? I will more than likely perform I'D, EB2.0 and maybe signed card to mouth. Is there anything else you recommend? Thanks for your help. Glen. |

Kids and adults love sponge magic. Other then that - do what you know and practice so you don't make a fool of yourself. |

"NEXT SUNDAY"!!!!! "...some close up etc. with cards..." How the h*** can pocket space be at a premium? How much space can a deck of bikes "take"?
My friend, Andy, has given you some good advice regarding props, and, especially the advice about not making a fool of yourself! I can't imagine, though, why, anyone who has respect for magic, could/would wait until a week before a date to ask for suggestions on what to do. --I said "do", not "perform"!

Teenagers (and this is general) view the world like they are invincible. They take chances without thinking stuff through. Until someone gets burned badly, they don't understand why you don't ask one week in advance. But since it is charity, best of luck and remember when strolling don't take 20 mins with each group. Quick to the point effects tend to do best and try to hit as many people as you can with the best quality of magic you can. |

Card to Impossible Location would be cool and maybe some rope magic.

I always carry an Adams Magic Coin Box hanging inside my vest and start with a signed quarter placed in a Magic Crystal Coin Case and cover it with a silk. These little tricks will cost you about 5 bucks and from my experience constantly blows people away. Both adults and kids can't believe what they see. Keep a couple of boxes prepped at your base for a quick reload and you can do this for a number of tables with out taking a break to reset. The props can typically be found in the junk section at magic stores, but those two things coupled together are wonderful.
