How many of you carry around cards and things to do tricks wherever you go. I know i do. Even if im not going to be doing tricks. I just like to fiddle with my cards. But i was just wondering how many of you do that. For no reasons just did.

At the moment I have a folded card in my shirt pocket, with a large paper clip around it... and a deck of matching cards in my coat pocket

Haven't used it for some weeks now, but it's there!

Same!
Although I have two folded cards, one red and one blue, both held by the same paperclip... that way it doesn't matter whether I pakced my red or blue deck

In answer to the original question... I normally carry a half dollar for plaming and rolling, a TT for TT magic and a deck of cards for card magic! That and a sharpie and I am well and truly set!

I always have a Master's deck along with my "spare cards" deck so I can just throw one in with my Master's whenever I need a card. I usually also have a second deck and either my Hot Rod if I'm out during the day, or a Hot Rod and D'Lites if it's night.

I always have a deck of cards on me even if I'm not leaving the house... .

I always have several rubberbands in my pockets for a few tricks like the crazy man handcuffs, jumping bands, linking bands, broken and restored and "P´link" (Palm up link from bandshark).
So two bands are enought but I always have more just in case.

With the weather closing in, I'm currently running around in a big black leather coat with deep pockets that carry a couple of decks and an ID. Plenty of room for switches.

I carry cards. I have a pack in my briefcase for work, I have a pack in my company car and a pack in my own car. I always carry a pack if I am going out for the evening. All of them are set up at the moment for a Simon Lovell transpo and an ace production to follow it. I false cut and false shuffle between tricks. I am set up after the first ace production (Royal Road version) for a second one courtesy again of Simon Lovell. That gives me three staight well practised tricks and I have an ambitious card routine (cross between Oz Pearlman, Simon Lovell and odd bits of reading) which I can go on in to if I have not bored people too much.

If I am really expecting to perform I carry a couple of TTs and silks and my D Lites. It doesn't seem to matter what age the audience I always get an amazing reaction from the D Lites.

I am currently working on my coin sleights, (not an area of magic I have got to grips with in even its most basic form yet) so that I can perform with just basic money from my pocket. I reckon with another years practice I might have an odd trick to show somebody, but then again maybe it will take me a bit longer than that!
