I dont really go and street magic people, or whatever. If I am going somewhere for at least two hours, I bring some things just incase I get bored and am waiting or I feel like showing stuff to whoever I am with.

I bring, a deck(Recently mine have been marked with the Blood system), 4 either silver dollars or half dollars, rubberbands(mostly to shoot at hecklers).
I always carry a gimmicked card in my wallet to do a card to wallet.

Thats about it.

Well, I always have a deck of cards in my pocket.

If I'm planning on going out, I bring:

1) 1-2 decks of cards with some dups
2) Rubber bands
3) Disotortion
4) Some coins.

In my left jacket pocket,
a deck of cards as close to 52 as I can get, and a sharpie with a green cap but writes in black, just because its funny.
a red shoelace tied around my left wrist,
a prediction in my cell phone, to get a chick phone number.
an odd backed card in my right pants pocket for a modified bizarre twist.
pre weakened corners on jokers and on the ace of hearts for 3 card monte.
My regular wallet with several cards in it for card to wallet or witness, which ever I'm in the mood for.

Noit that I do street magic with any kind of regularity, but if I'm going to be out in public for an extended period of time, I try to be prepared. Just in case.

- Deck of cards. I don't do gimmicks; if I need gaff cards (which I currently don't, but I'm thinking about picking up Ultragaff when it comes out), I pre-insert them in the pack. Depending on what I'm planning to do, I may pre-stack the deck a little so I can do a five-second trick on demand.

- Bottle of Purell. Clean, dry hands are really a must when you're doing card work.

- Erdnase's Expert at the Card Table, bible edition. If anyone asks how I did something, I say "it's all in here" and hand them the book. I have the little ribbon bookmark set in the palming section, because I don't palm. They'll open it to the bookmark, glance at what's there, and then hand it back. If they hang around watching, they're looking for me to palm cards, which I don't do.

Ha ha. I like that. I don't palm that much, but I really want to work on it and get it invisible...

I always have at least one regular deck of cards handy. In addition, I cycle through a svengali, an invisible, and sometimes a stripper deck. Moreover, I always carry some coins, as well as the Panic gimmick and the coins for Digital Dissolve, among other things.

Cheers,
JTM

a black bike deck marked using the blood system.
and the knowledge of enough impromptu effects that don't require any other gimmicks or can be scraped together easily from everyday objects.
