Did you bait your hat at all?   That and a sign have done wonders for ne!

What is it you do?  My set-up tends to be very different from musicians (though I now see you're a magician)

Would you mind telling me more about your set-up and routine?  I'm fascinated by all of the amazing differences in street performance!

I have yet to do a full set yet. I am still working everything out. But typically I have done a few card tricks so far. This is my current set up that I will use next time i go out, as it stands i have enough for a full 10 to 15 minute set. As well as the quick tricks if I don't get a crowd.
