I always carry a pack of cards with me, it's great to do magic for people, to just play, or practice. And that's about it, I rather do impromptu stuff then go around with pockets full of gimmicks (thank you dear old Tom Mullica for making me love impromptu magic :) ).
If I go to a place where I know I can find girls (or I'm on a date), a small square of flash paper, a small rose, and a lighter, and not only the flash paper is on fire ;)

I try to stay away from gimmicks. I usually walk around the mall with nothin' but a deck of cards, find someone, show'em a few tricks until there's a small crowd, then do a routine.

I love my hobby. :D

not always, but if im going to a bar i occasionally take with me a mini-deck of cards (it seems to convince drunk people i couldnt possibly be able to manipulate them in any way)...a cheapo ITR and a TT...

to test myself, i recently ate dessert in a resturant wearing a TT throughout, no one said a thing...but they did when the paper napkin moved across the table... :shock:

Looks like the TT is pretty popular.

I don't think rattlestar knows what a TT is...

I usually don't carry too many gimmicks with me. I almost always have a pack of cards and some coins for some effects if need be. Sometimes I'll carry some packet tricks with me like a Scotch and Soda or something.

i carry standard deck, my newly required Rama Deck and Scotch and Soda , used to carry the Raven but to be honest its too erratic, sometimes the gimmick doesn't function properly.

Here goes.......
When I'm out on the razz at the weekends I always wear my Master's Time Machine Watch and I carry the Bat, Coin Unique, 2 normal safety pins (to perform Dreamweaver) and an ungimmicked pack of cards :wink:

EDITED: I forgot to add that I also carry my haunted key with me at all times. It's on my key-ring along with my house keys - to the unsuspecting punter it's my shed key :twisted:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

I carry 54 pieces of card, in 2 different colours, 4 different suits and they range from an ace to a king! Thats it ;) Money can be borrowed and I don't have enough pockets in my joggers/jeans whatever to carry stuff ;)
