Didn't know where to put this..But I need some help..

I've been practicing for like 6 months or so..I've decided to finally go street. :D

I need help with what to perform..I've planned a card and coin routine..

It's Stigmata,An Ambitious Card Routine,Kaos(If there's a window),Revolution and Bullet/Factory Sealed/Or some other CiB.

I wanna know what other moves I can do....Which are easy..And dont require me to buy the DVD and the gimmick is easy to make/buy.

Like in Frozen,I couldn't buy the gimmick cause it isn't available in India...(Atleast where I live in India)..

Thanks,
Sumitz.

From my personal experience i can say people usually don't have that much time to see a full routine.So only do a full routine if they ask for more.You could to Revolution( search in the forum to find it) it is a coin vanish

I know how to do Revolution.Got the DVD. My only problem with it is,I need a cover up. Once I do Revolution,instantly I need to do something with cards so that people dont suspect..

Card transpos are perfect for street magic. And visual magic tricks. not something that's amazing but something that just happened quick and visual. Go for some color changes and some mind reading..

u do realise street is not a type of magic??

anyway if ur performing on the street u need very quick tricks, somethin to grab people attentioned not routines unless they really want to see ur magic.

things like bullet CIB would b rubbish unless u get people interested first, an ACR is rubbish unless u get them interested first and usually people dont wanna b standing around for too long watchin u do magic especially if ur just a kid doin it out in the street, card transpos, color changes, flourishes these get peoples attention and draws them into u and gets them watchin u so u can then do ur full routines

another tip is to look casual but also profesional, u'll notice on most of the elusionist and theory 11 demos, most of the magicians wear shirts/ jackets or they at least look smart and presentable. this gives the impression they are proffesionals. unfortunatly unless ur performing for kids in the street bein a kid ur self will not make u look proffesional no matter how smartly u dress.

so my advice, learn some simple and quick tricks to get u noticed then do ur routines
