Here are my most frequently used items that I carry:
-Loops
-Branded gimmick
-Deck of Cards
-Occasionally Invisible Deck

However, I enjoy my time most using a balloon at a birthday for Pressure and metal bends with cutlery.

I assume you do lots of sleight of hand? What do you think about Identity?


Identity is very strong! I use this in bars a lot.

I have had the invisible deck go wrong several times with me revealing the opposite side. Has this happened to you?

Nope, never happened to me before. It's the one thing to be careful of when using the ID. How do you salvage the situation after you revealed the wrong side?

One deck of cards - with a memorized deck stack. You can do miracles with a stacked deck, sure.
One deck of cards - with one breather crimp.
Rubberbands.
Coins.
Elastic loops.
I also use a Topit and the sleeves for some amazing magic.

On June 27, 2014, (I'm not going to quote myself, if you're really interested in being a magician, scroll up to my post.)

I guess one person MAY have read what I said. I need to scroll up, myself, to reread his post. I'll be right back.

- Tellethought wallet (version 2) - compact and perfect for peek
- Coins and money: Hopping Half, Two copper and one silver, Scotch and soda, Two dollar window
- To do voodoo
- Loops
- Mystery Card v.2 - it is my invention - a credit card which include 17 (!) effects
- Mystery Calendar - a pocket calendar with about 10 effects
- deck of cards

So, with a wallet full with tricks and a deck of cards I can make a whole magic/mentalism show everywhere and anytime Smile

Hm... probably you are right Dick. I (we) have in the wallet (pocket) some props which allows me (us) to do different tricks. The question was "what tricks do you bring with you" and everybody share his preferences. Tricks, props, tools, gimmicks... we can call them with different names, but in my opinion this is not the most important in the case.

You are entitled to your OPINION, (The USA is a free country.) It, is, however, only an OPINION.

Derek Dingle's Double Deception, I've been performing this effect since I was 15 and after Derek's passing I bought Tannen's inventory, at the time they were only 10.00 a deck.

Hi Jake!

The late Quintino Marucci, aka Slydini, contributed a "handling" of the Edward Victor C&R rope technique, which produced the necessary "situation" for the Professor's Nightmare. "The long and short of it" is in "Slydini ENCORES" (copyright 1966). Slydini credits the late Hen Fetsch as the originator. While there are several who think that there were a few earlier users of the principle, the late Bob Carver is generally considered the originator. Carver showed the method to another magician, who "sold" it to the late Gene Gordon. Gene wrote the original "Nightmare" lines, and, sold it for $1.00. I paid Gene a dollar for it in April, 1959. (seven years before "Slydini Encores").

I liked the effect, but, didn't like the "set up moves". The late Karrell Fox finally realized that the late Gen Grant's "move" for his "50/50 C&R rope, would provide the necessary set up. Karrell shared his "discovery". In 1971, using Grant's method, I started to perform it.

The late Dennis Loomis and I worked out a routine involving the late Karl Germaine's C&R routine, Slydini's handling from "Encore", a few ideas from the late Ken Allen, and a bluff restoration (before Conway). It was a predecessor to Pop Haydn's "Mongolian Pop Knot". I used the Loomis/Oslund routine for about five years as the opener in my high school program. I cut up a "few" spools of rope, in 5 years! Then, I dropped it. I'm retired, but,if I were to revive the routine, I would definitely use Pop's Mongolian. --I like it better than what Dennis and I worked out, almost 50 years ago!
