Hi guys/gals. I posted this in the restaurant walkaround group but wasn't getting many responses. So, I'll re-post here!

Just wondering what's everyone favourite walkaround, instant (or almost instant) reset non-card effects?

at the moment, I'm doing a lot of colour changing knives to sponge balls, T2P (not at every table) and ring flight.


I'm working on Keymaster at the moment. I'm finding at the moment with the venues I'm performing at, its quite dark, i.e. weddings and some specs can't make out the colours in Freakey. might be the alcohol?

Thoughts and comments everyone?

Nah, in all seriousness I'd have to say Holy Moly by Jay Sankey. I use that one more than ANYTHING else in walkaround situations.

Since you're eliminating card tricks, I will call Jay Sankey's "In a Flash" a coin trick. Yes, cards are involved, but it's by far the most consistent impressive reaction I get. Just make sure that your restaurant or show space allows fire, as this one uses a small piece of flash paper.

I do very much like that effect, my friend had got it and while I think I get how its done but it was great a laymen would love it

I generally start of by producing 3 Morgan dollar coins via Michael Ammar's Sonic Squeeze, followed by Kenner's 3 fry, then conclude with Ammar's Coins thru Silk. I also like doing selected moves from Gregory Wilson's Ring Leader.

Though I do not use it, Warning by Kostya Kimlat looks great. I saw him do it live at one of his lectures. I think that would be one I do if I did anything else but cards.

3-ball routine any of a number of coin bends, copper/silver, coins productions any number of coins across routines, gadabout coins, spellbound, coin vanishes, a pocket chop cup in the hands a swami gimmick or bug writer and some mentalism routines on business cards.
