I see a lot of people mentioning TT. I was wondering what kind of routines most of you use with your TT.

My wallet, which I always have with me, has several items in it - Wonderland Dollar, MagiCard, Mental Yarn, business cards w/ blank back for "printing," Bryn Reynolds' BusinessCoin Prediction, acrobatic dollars, and a couple others. I also always carry at least on half dollar w/ me to do a simple vanish or similar.
Tally-ho! And Tuscarora too!

Hey kudos to you AdamB, if you can perform good magic with just cards and coins. Impromptu magic is one of my favourite kinds of magic.

I typically always have my backpack with me which has decks of cards in it and whatever gimmick or packet trick(s) I am playing with. Oh, and the backpack also contains my small moleskin journal I use to write down Magic related information, ideas, and tricks/tips.
Well, That was fun!

I like it to assist with a torn and restored paper napkin, though of course there are alternative methods to doing this trick without a TT. Another one I like is to vanish salt or sugar. I prefer not to vanish a silk due to the reasonable amount of lay people who know the effect. On the otherhand, if you have a wand with you, using David Williamson's method is great silk vanish and even 'informed' lay people won't have a clue.

Ring flight Revolution from David Bonsall is the only thing I carry now without fail. I might take a TT ready for a Bill Switch if I'm keen. These two tricks are enough to impress anyone at a moments notice.
I have to say that as magicians, we sometimes do magic to please ourselves rather than the audience. If someone says 'show me a quick trick' then usually that's what they mean. They don't mean show me 30 minutes of your act! I do two very good tricks and swap business cards - if they want more they know where they can hire me! And I sometimes use the line "if you think think that was good....this was on the spot! You should see me when I'm prepared for a show!" I'm not a fan of going down to the grocery store and carrying a deck of cards, 4 sponge balls, 8 sponge rabbits, 2 coins in my shoe, some elastic bands on my wrist, a tub of magicians wax, an invisible deck in my back pocket, an out to lunch wallet and a sheet of flash paper....."just in case." Magicians are supposed to be able to do magic anywhere, at any time, with anything. So when performing impromptu I can borrow items and perform miracles with them. Why do I need special props like sponge balls and decks of cards when I'm doing my shopping? It is different at a paid performance, because I am expected to have props. If it's a prospective client I show them ring flight and bill switch and that's it. If its a group of friends who aren't going to book me, but they still want to see something I can then do a few mental routines, a watch steal, PK time, some coin routines - and anything from the Greg Wilson DVD's 'Off the Cuff' and 'On The Spot!' |

Amen to Ring Flight Revolution!
I carry a Two Dollar Bill Tear, some flash paper, a 3CM, Extremem Burn, and Holy Moly as well. A solid and devastating 5-7 minutes if I wish to take it that long, but these all hold their own ON their own too! |

I have a memorized deck that is roughed on the backs. That way I can use it as a regular deck and I can also use it as an invisible deck by faro shuffling half of the deck face down into the face up half.

At the risk of getting heckled for not having read the entire 10 pages, let me say this.
A lot of stuff can be carried in a Sport Coat or Field Jacket Styled shirt. I just got 5 Sport Coats from a local Goodwill for $20. I didn't intend to get that many, but I got lucky with the fit, varity and price. I intent to fit one with a topit that buttons out of the way, a Raven on the left and a pull on the right. Additionally, I'll add pockets inside to carry cards and gaffs. Start with a tweed or herring bone that goes well with jeans, dockers or dress pants. If the Suit/Sports coat is not your thing you can always use a fanny pack or the assassin's pouch. |

One Coin and a deck of cards. I can do a whole show with these props. Visual, stunning magic that is memorable and amazing sleight of hand that people are impressed by. I won't leave without my one coin. I may leave without my cards.

Usually, I will have on me a rising deck, some glue and thin wire or thread, and a PK ring. The PK ring is not something I got away with in the beginning, but now that I have won it for a while, nobody gets suspicious. I also carry a really cheap version of the pen through bill, mostly to write with. However, one of my favorite routines to do is the quarter through soda can because I can just buy it from a vending machine or borrow the stuff.
