As far as impromptu magic is concerned I'm surprised no one has brought up the one of the greatest- Max Malini. His methods may not have been perfect, but the thinking behind them and the impact were everything you'd want from any magic effect. Dai Vernon's book about him is a good start. Penn and Teller's Play in Traffic has his classic "Button Bite" trick. Ricky Jay's Learned Pig's and Fireproof Women has a decent biographical information, but no tricks. Frank Garcia, Mac King, and Schindler's books on magic with everday objects are good for the beginner.

A lot of people seem to think this. Max used principles that could be applied to many different things. His idea with the torn and restored straw wrapper is a classic.

Off the cuff by gregory wilson is a dvd that is purely impromptu magic that a magician beginner to advanced could perform. the routines are not only effective but they are fun for the spectator.

This is highly overlooked, but "Jawdroppers" from Larry Anderson is really good. There is a lot of impromptu magic on those tapes. You can find them here.
http://www.jawdroppers.com His presentation is a bit bland, but the effects are great. Also, there are a lot of great sight gags you can pull too. This material is really worth checking out. Hope this helps. Phil
