So, this is my first post on this forum, and I was wondering: What kind of routines does everyone do? I'm starting out into the world of street magic, and I've done shows regularly for about a month now, but is there any way to improve my routine? For example, what effects are strong crowd pleasers? What gimmicks would you recommend for a street show. Not looking for secrets, just some general input on good ideas for a routine. My current one is fine, I'm just looking to spice it up a little. Any thoughts?
I usually do:
1. Disappearing deck
2. Invisible deck
3. Basic sleights, forces, and controls for random card stuff
4. About 4 different levitations
5. Haunted Deck
6. Cut and Restored Rope
7. Sponge Balls
8. A small amount of mentalism
9. Ambitious Card
10. Pen Through Dollar
11. Svengali Deck
12. Neck Saw
13. Razor Blade and Thread
