Full decks of cards arent allowed in my school. But small packets are .
I agree, Lots and lots of coins is what i'm triying this year. Things like pulling the change out trough the pocket, through the table, maybe coins across.

yes you see...it is best to use the objects you find around you because it impresses your audience with the fact that you can play off of your surroundings and use what you are supplied with to do magic without being properly prepared. I can do tons of routines with the items I just listed above. Especially the rubber bands!

In my school, cards aren't allowed if you're going to play poker or blackjack or something like that, but one of my friends, who recommended this site to me, is allowed to bring cards when he performs in the cafeteria.

[quote+"KyleTheGreat"]Now, My Senior English teacher declared every friday in her class "Magic Friday" and turned over the last fifteen minutes of every friday to me for mini performances. On those days I perform card effects for the class as well as bits and pieces of my comedy adult stage routines.[/quote]
Wow... that's just awesome.

Almost anything that you can perform well that you can fit in you pocket and isn't dangerous. Don't underestimate rubberbands. Cards weren't allowed at my school. However almost every teacher made an exception for me because they saw me do other stuff first so when I pulled out the cards it was fine. As Kyle said, some teachers will ask for a trick when they finish early. Actually, the teacher that did that the most for me was also my english teacher, weird. If you are shy about approaching people and people know that you do magic, I guarantee this will work. In studyhall while reading, or lunch while eating, or at the end of class waiting for the bell, just play around with bands/coins/cards(maybe) and someone will ask to see a trick. BUT do not become the magic monkey on command. Also, do not distract from teachers or do magic at inapropriate times. Get the teachers on your side.

what tricks can you do with rubber bands?

Crazy Man's Handcuffs is a CLASSIC in impromptu magic. It's sold here in the instant downloads section as Quantum Bandits. It's without a doubt one of my favorite tricks, since I can carry it on my wrist at all times. It's totally impromptu, so you can use anyones rubberbands. Check it out and get it if you like it...because you will.

Here is another GREAT resource in rubber band magic:

Joe is amazing and that DVD really kills. It's packed with information and is a pretty good price.
Enjoy...

ask a friend for the biggest bill they have usualy a (5 or 20) and B-2 bomb that thing rofl , or mabe do a quick "throw the card and make it return" in the middle fo a hallway(that seems to reel in at lease 3 people), might want to preform in a tighter environment though, like in a classroom durring passing periods i did the B-2 today at school and i got the typical "ZOMG you devil worshiper!" (long story short lol i did some simple made- up-on-the-spot tricks in my summer school class and they all think i worship the devil and have evil powers or somehthing) haha my school dosnt allow card either but screw them! lol my teachers dont seem to mind especially when i do magic to them haha
P.S. good magic tricks can help you get the ladies ROFL
PPS have fun! watch your peers go crazy, theyll talk about your for weeks haha, and who dosnt like to see the old smart @$$ in the class pull out his hair beacuse he cant figure it out haha that always makes me laugh

?

cards arent allowed at my school either. that never stopped me until Mr trezise the (administrator who thinks hes really cool and everyone likes him but really everyone hates him) came up and said magics cool dude but put those cards away or ill have to suspend you man sorry give me the cards. after taht i decided to stop for a while. now im trying to find good impropto stuff for school until mr trezise decides coins are illegal to have. yes i think its hilarious watching the genius kids going crazy trying to figure ou the tricks.

Rldcastle has a great pen routine its not recaped but there are alot of things besides recap you can do with a pen.

First off,
Hi, I am new here.

Second:
I would recomend some type of Rising Card trick, always work well at my school.
Pen tricks are good, but the crowd seems to grow very quickly and blocking the trick can be very hard. So, watch out. But if you can get the blocking down, and get up against a wall or something, you can blow their minds. (Although some stundents seem to be pretty sharp...)
Mysterious Kings are also good.
That's all the info I can give, as that's all I do at my High School now.
When the rest of my tricks come I may be able to help you out.

Hope this helps!

don't get rising card deck. not examinable at all. I'd reccommend coin tricks like dynamic coins. I performed an erdnase change today during a game of poker and got great reactions. I do card tricks alot because lots of people in my school play poker during free classes so cards are always readily available

torn and restored homework

mentalism with historical dates

any math effects which utilize high school level math

cheat sheet to $100 bill switch (in case you get caught cheating)

ive found that the best stuff is borrowed...or with an ordinary deck of cards with no setup...where everything is examinable deck can be shuffled and everything seems clean and fair.

hundy 500 or two dollar window always gets my friends...but practice and never show it to anyone more than once.
