My first restaurant set was silk appearance and vanish, followed by Jokers Wild and then spongeballs.
My second set was jokers wild followed by ambitious
And my third set was silk appearance and vanish, jokers wild, biddle trick.
Those three combos served me very well in my restaurant days. Jokers Wild and the silk make great openers and I could add any trick after. Many many times I would add new material to try by doing: silk,______, & Jokers Wild.
Working restaurants was a great way to build my chops and refine material. Now doing corporate work I use all the strong material that I tested in my earlier days.
