Instead of people saying "I have this gimmick, that gimmick, and this gimmick, how do i make a routine for table hopping?" Let's do this. Everyone states their 3 or 4 routines consisting of about 3-4 tricks (or however many are in it). This will inspire others to create their own routine or modify others'. I guess i'll go first.
My 4 routines are

1. Back in Time
Card to Mouth
That's It

2.They pick the 4 aces (some multiple force that sankey uses in vol1)
Twisting the Aces
Daley's Last Trick

3. Invisible Deck
B-2 Bomber

4.Red Hot Momma
Biddle Trick
Ambitious Card

Keep in mind, this is not a "What do you think of these routines?" forum, it's simply stating your routines that you perform in different table at resturaunts.

You are performing for people that are eating in a restaurant so you perform card from mouth, how appetizing, how short-lived your restaurant career.

i think hes doing card TO mouth, which might be the same as card from mouth btu i think hes meaning it lands up on his lips or something like that

ummm, yeah. You guys failed to say YOUR routines (The idea of this forum)

one of my routines would be

1. dsihonest abe- great opener
2. biddle trick- great middler
3. ring leader - great closer

thats a pretty solid routine and always gets great reactions..

A couple of my routines are from the art of astonishment books, that may or may not suite a restaurant.

1) Reset
Interlaced vanish
limo service
Whack your pack

2) Ace production (simular to Oz's)
Invisible palm aces
Quickcon
Cue cards---Larry Jennings

3) Universal cards---Derek Dingle
We'll twist---Derek Dingle
Bizarre shrink---Paul Harris

Just a few of mine. Also, Paddy, I was wondering what tricks are incorperated into your routines, as you are an actual restaurant worker.

OK, since very few people have actually posted their routines, how about you just list the tricks that you do, or would do, in resturaunts, Please?

sure. well actually, stealing pips first vid, perferto i think. i use it for my starting. actually, i think that it would be good if you want to do e same trick throughout e day, or till your lunch break. firstly, as the previous guys said, they'r ultimately there for food. yeah. anyway one of my fav routine is perferto, except i use blank deck for it. and the SAR cards are blank back. try with this idea. if you purchase the dvd, that is. the rest is like this:

1) a simple watch routine using their watch, then some non-card tricks like the stealth pen with their money, coin shrinking with their coins. its always good to use their stuff. they would sub consiously be interested as the money is theirs.(including dough!, many others u can get from penguin)

2) ambutious card, fishsandwich, and some other tricks that control the card to the top or bottom. with this, my patter line is always " you know, before i even started on my magician life, i realised that my deck of cards can do magic. let me show u why-after the ambitous card, i will do the fishsandwich- telling them, by the way do u know of any kings that exerises, taking out the jokers meanwhile. etc.

thats two of my fav short routine. IT is a no-no in restuarants
sorry about my broken english, im in a slpy mood, dont really care about it...*yawn...

What do you mean IT is a no no in resturaunts? Is IT a trick? or do you mean it?(the word) i'm so confused. Anyway, keep em comming guys, i wanna hear more routines!

Man I T, the good stuff. Hey look its a floating dollar.
