Yep. I routinely Perform at Farmers Markets and Festivals in My Area. Despite using all the Latest/Greatest from Penguin, Murphys, et al, I still get TONS of Mileage doing Cut and Restored Rope and Professors Nightmare. I also find that Card Routines like 4 Ace Effects and Ambitious Card appeal equally to Kids and Adults.
I went to the scarborough fair the other week. I don't know what possessed me to, but I dressed as a jester and performed classics. It was my excuse to drop my own character, and perform sponge balls, vanishing silks...and on a whim, I even performed the linking rings for the first time. Genuinely, there was inherent wonder in people's eyes, and the magnetic draw of attention. I now understand more about why this effect is a classic.
I love the 20th century silks, it's on my list of effects I would like to do in a show. I've done the cut and restored rope for friends and it really does get a strong reaction.
I do a torn and restored paper but I do it with a valentine I call it BROKEN HARTED and the patter is about my not getting a date I also do Chinese sticks and Professors Nightmare so I do know what your saying But what of THE ARROW SIGN ROUTINE I think that is worth a look as well
Wonderful list of the classics. The bill to lemon was a favorite l used to do. Along with several of the rope tricks. The egg bag is also something Mark Wilson had done as well and later putvit back out on the market. I believe this is one of the last he did before he passed. 🙏😊👍✨️🪄
I used most of these for years. Great stuff.
Sure fire hits

The classics are classic for a reason - audiences love them. Ambitious Card is so visual. Its one of the great perfect card effects

Great story. I love it.

20th-century silks is a great one. Good choice.

I love the Arrow Sign routine. I did it for about a year and audiences seem to enjoy it
The classics rule..nothing like the surprise and look of wonder in the spongeball in there hand trick..
Absolutely
Hey, David. How's it doing? Mind if you do a video on the difference between stage, closeup and parlor magic?
I did, and thanks for asking. You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/CB3k0kyu6bk/v-deo.htmlsi=c7-bWDgeQtj8OsEd
@@DavidDellman Ah yes. I must have forgotten. In that case, mind if you do a video on Penn Jillette and his partner, Teller?
@@LuisRivera-vf9pk I will give that some thought, Luis. Thanks

In his later years, he did rely on the egg bag. I saw him perform it in a theatre in PA.
So card tricks are not parlor magic?
I did a separate video on classic card effects. You might want to check it out
