Hey , this may help :
I performed in Revolution Vodka bar every other sunday for two years, til they found out I wasn't 18.
I was 16/17 at the time.
But I dug out my old repertoire for you when I was a beginner magician at 16:
Ambitious Card
Card To mouth
Card to Shoe Closer into Deck vanish.
Quarters by Daniel Garcia without the muscle pass through glass ( as I couldnt do it)
I'd make the 3rd coin appear and go
into Silver Dream by Justin Miller.
Id finish off with Warning ( the one where you exhale smoke after lighting a match, to blow on the back of a card, and do a snap change slowly behind cover of me cupping the smoke to change the card to my business card )
The bar had matches on demand. Unlimited Glasses and a massive selection of spectators.
Things that I also do in bar work is get vouchers from the manager for free shots, and bet them with two card monte. I prepare two cards with vouhcers stuck to the front of them, and when I Switch the 2 kings for say Aces, im switching them out for blank cards with free shots on the front. Then thank them for playing, and they could go and get there free shots. It goes down well for magical and profitable reasons.
I absolutely love bar work, and if you are old enough to drink, you will have loads of drinks bought for you.......
I line them up at the back of the bar, or behind it, so when people ask what that display of cocktails is for, the bar staff can forward them to me, and they will more than likely add to it.
Then after performance you and perhaps your friends can enjoy the reward.
Get a folding coin though and do coin in bottle. That will floor everyone.
cheers,
Geraint
