you have more than enough material, besides...it's to late to work up new material.....best to spend your time reherseing the material you already do.
if i were getting paid to work a line...then i would have about 5 killer effects in my pockets and thats it......
if you have any sense at all you'll do the same 5 great tricks all night.

Yeah, i don't think i am going to do any big tricks like that, i probaboly am going to do some close up tricks that i can do quick and then move on to the next group people. But thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Hummer Card
S.C.A.R.E.D. Haunted deck idk id rethink those 2 just because you said it may be windy and idk how cool hummer card would look in the wind but the others yeah try them i second the suggestion to do robert smith wounded but if you do be carefully around kids

only do it if you already know it and perform it regularly.....
this is a chance to book even more gigs, and your not going to do that by performing poorly....
if you want good reactions and future bookings then stick to stuff that you already do well......don't try to learn anything new for this show....
spend the next 2 week in front of the mirror and reherse every word and every move until you can't make a mistake.....

your going to need to grow a beard first, thats going to take you a while o.O
