I'm curious about your post 'Money Makers and Street Magic'... Are you referring to several performances that have earned you money on the street? I have this picture in my head of a magician on a unicycle, in a straight jacket, somehow performing cups and balls... now that would be a moneymaker! :-)
The three items listed are effects that make street performers a lot of money.
It is often said it is not what you do, but how you do it .... There is a lot of
truth in that statement, but when it comes to street and other venues, if you
choose the right effects, you'll find that it is a lot easier to be successful.
how about a pickpocket straightjacket.. pickpocket them b4 u put on the straightjacket. and after the escape.. your clothes are different than what u started with.
Watch steals can be great but can also lead to problems,
because on the street they don't trust you. On the other
hand, some magicians know how to make them work.
I never dare to do Pickpocketing on the streets, it's way too risky. I'd rather keep it for my stage and close-up shows, where people are already aware of a Magician walking arround.

Hopping halves.
Balloon animals.
Mouth coils.

3-d sponge bunnies. It is really on your skill of gathering a crowd and keeping them there. There is so much good stuff out there it is hard to pick. Especially since there is more crappy stuff than good.
Thanks Vynn. I just did a 40th birthday party and decided to do my cut and restored rope as a close up item. I have never had such a strong reaction to that trick in 30 years ... one of the guests kept following me around to watch the rope trick.
Hijinx,
I feel your pain and with experience I have decided that I will not do just walk around close up magic for a group of less than 75. Depending on the crowd there are many different directions you can go. On my web page I give one direction a…

Mark,
I had the pleasure of watching Aldo and Rachel perform (demo effects from their CD's) at a recent Magic Club event here in Melbourne, Florida and picked up 3 of their DVD's. I would highly encourage everyone to get any of their DVD's because…
