Good question. I got mine from Steve, but I'm not sure where it can be bought. I'll ask him and let you know Smile

Best,

Mike

Street Magic means a table and Cups and Balls. Everything else is just a set up for the cups.

But maybe I did not watch the Blaine specials like I should have, or I would know what street magic really is. Smile

My top 5 street effects are:

1. Invisible Deck
2. Pinnacle
3. Hundy 500
4. Ambitious Card
5. Two Card Monte

The funny thing is, I've been debating whether or not to get The Raven for about 4 years now (I know, I can't beleive it either). I seems to get mixed reviews from magicians, but I know I'll break down one day and get it when my financial conditions improve. Hopefully I can add Monte 3.0 to my street magic arsenal because it seems to be a powerful effect.

Whatever you do - do not forget to add a close-up levitation effect for street magic or any close up show. If you do not know any of them - get the Losander Volume 2 on Levitation (DVD/VHS)

:goodluck:

1-Ambitious card
2-Floating anything (dollar, waste paper, don't matter--out of their hands and in their face)
3--Eaten and regurgitated/restored bill (spectator tears it)
4--Linking rubber bands (spectator can keep linked bands)
5--Rising cards (mix methods--kundalini style for the in spectator hand part)

Here's what I perform at company picnics, strolling, which is very similar to street conditions:

Egg Bag (Martin Lewis routine)
Sponge Bunnies
A 3 phase card routine ending in "Think A Card" from one of the Mark Mason videos
Ring and String
Mismade Bill

If I wanted to have some things that would fit in a "Pro-Carrier" or in just one pocket, I'd use:

Ring and String
Mismade Bill
B'Wave
Gregory Wilson's "It"
Mirror Reverse

My top five are:

1.- Misled with any kind of bill
2.- Rubber band magic
3.- Ambicius card rutine
4.- Bitten coin (I have a little rutine that includes it)
5.- Something that riquires the expectator to have a card (or anything) in their hands.
Bonus: Bill levitations if I'm loaded at that moment.

I've probably left one behind, cause' it's really dificult to choose just 5. Cards and coins in general are endless in street rutines.

"I ask some body for a cigarrete, do some manipulation, do a short levitation and end it with a no sleave vanish, and BAAAAMM!"

Just out of curiousity, would this be extendable so that you vanish a lit cigarette? If so, you could then ask for anotehr and, possibly, perform a switch on them, giving the illusion of lighting it without a flame.

Just thought I'd suggest it. I'm not all that familiar with vanishing, so I don't know if it'd be possible

Am I the only one who likes paddle tricks. There are many versions of this simple sleight. But I get great reactions from the punters doing the Bat. they just can't believe that the chalk spots can come and go as they seem to. And every street magi should have their trusty thumb-tip at all times.
Thanks for the tip about the Stealth Pen. (No pun intended)
