What in tarnation do you carry that many rubber bands around for? If I'm going to carry around rubber bands, I carry two around my wrist... not a huge bag of them.
Here's a list for what I take when I do Street Magic:
Deck of Tallies
Deck of Bikes
Sharpie
Quarters
Two Rubberbands
Redline Gimmick
When I go out and I'm not planning on performing I take:
Split Spades
Redline Gimmick

When I leave the house, I automatically have a bike deck in a clip with some gaffs in it and a sharpie. Plus I have some cards in my wallet for mentalism things. Matches and a lighter recently got added to the list after watching AOM. I travel light.
However if I am going to a party, I take that and an invisible deck.
To the person who carries 500 rubberbands. Why on God's green earth do you carry so many?

My God, I dont even carry one. I mean short of doing Zamiel's Rubberband, or David Copperfields Snow routine with rubberbands I can't think of a reason. That must cost that guy a fortune to perform.
Crazy Man's Handcuffs by Michael Ammar, the only thing I do with rubberbands.
I wish I was Michael Ammar
Drive around in my fancy car
Linking rubberbands all day long
Listen to me sing my Michael Ammar song

I mean I like crazy man handcuffs, but I hate my fingers smelling like rubber. However, I have done it with two girls' ponytails.
Michael Ammar
He can amaze at the stage, street or bar
Cards disappear and reappear, in hands and behind ears
Watching him perform always brings me to tears
For doing "street" magic,I want to give people a real astonishment. Out and about,people arent expecting anything of this nature,and thats when I can hit them the hardest. An 18year old boy with a deck of cards isnt going to do that. That image just screams trick.
an excerpt from a DanandDave product "As magicians, we use tools to achieve an effect or a trick. We call this process magic. However,if we had the ability to rid ourselves of these tools(I.E.,Cards,coins,notepads..all of which we carry on an invisivle utility belt), then procedure is removed and the magic becomes a miracle.
Anytime a tool is presented,whether it is cards or coins or if your a mentalist,a notepad,
your providing an excuse and lessening the effect by turning it into a trick,rather than a miracle(astonishment,I say)
...miracles can only be achieved with no apparent reason or excuse for whatever props being used"
Now of course,that doesnt mean I go out with nothing at my disposal. To achieve a miracle there are two modus operandi. Premeditated and improv.
Ill leave it at that.

"He's never asked, but knows when to question
And can always command, a full rooms attention
Simply by sticking a card to a ceiling
Even when you could swear, behond all doubt or reason
A few minutes ago, there wasn't a ceiling!
Known as a Legend, in countries afar
But we simply know him, as Michael Ammar"
Now, as for what I carry:
Keys, Phone, Cards, Wallet, Knife, Coin, I-Pod, Ring.
An extra pair of draws, A two liter bottle of Coke, Mentos, A foot rest, A goose down feather, All five volumes of Card College, A 32" Plasma TV, The Dean Martin Roast Collection, A DVD Player to watch The Dean Martin Roast Collection.
... I think that's it.
Organic's a great book. Read it about a week ago I believe.

Very good quote, I often "find" a "random" bottle that "someone" just "left" on the ground. I then do a coin through bottle effect.
Also, if anyone's wondering where the Michael Ammar song originated:
