I recently performed improptu at a holiday dinner party. My wife put me on the spot in front a table full of her co-workers. I performed a cup and balls routine using a coffee cup, some cherrie tomatoes quickly stolen from my salad (thank god for dressing on the side ;-) and a butter knife. It was one of the best things I have done in a long time!
I go nowhere without 4 silver halves but... I also like: - napkin sponge balls - paper balls over the head - a couple of dime and penny tricks (a transpo and a mind read) - recap

Don't carry a pocket full of tricks. Just my set of house keys. With that I can do the Finger Blister effect.

I have read some great inpromtu effects here! A couple I have not done but want to do are Re-Cap and Ring Thru Spoon. I will have to research these.
Most of the rest are ones I have done or do on a regular basis. I also love to hear that some of you have developed some original stuff. Nice work! Tom |

I thought the original question was regarding self-working tricks, not impromptu tricks. I teach lots of self-working tricks to my elementary school students, and they are good enough to fool adults. Just search for them; they are probably in your magic library or amongst the magic books in the children's room in your local public library.

I love to do a short AC routine with a borrowed deck. Sometimes I build a TT out of paper, which works quite great. I also like Center Tear, Changeling (with bubble gum) or Kurotsuke with borrowed objects.
Sometimes I even get to perform a cups and balls routine with normal drinking cups and balls made of newspaper. I like to improvise...

A lot of the stuff people have mentioned isn't really impromptu as they have mentioned invisible decks, TTs, ] coins, etc. (If the ones mentioned are impromptu then what isn't considered impromptu.) My faves would have to be:

One of my favorite impromptu routines is Jay Sankey's effect with the milk containers you are given in restaurants, unfortunately I can't think of its name of the top of my head. Great effect though.

Fun question, Dave:
Seems to me that some of you are putting far too fine a point on the word “impromptu.” Dave posts a reasonable question and by the examples he gave, it is clear what he means. Sometimes it seems that this forum can not help itself from getting very esoteric. Since most sources define “impromptu” as “without prior thought or preparation,” one could fairly argue that since you have spent hours preparing for (what to do if someone asks you to do a trick) very little magic you do will be “impromptu.” When I take someone’s dollar bill from them and turn it into a mis-made bill, it is, from their point of view, “impromptu.” Nicholas J. Johnson: Your post is dead on when you said: Quote:
I guess I try and make all my magic look impromptu. I like my audiences to feel as if this is the first time I have ever done this. As if I could do anything in the world but I decided to do this to demonstrate my skill. Bob |

Thanks Bob...
Althought I did put a lot of thought into that post so it's not really impromptu. |
