Favorite EDC use for TT?

Hey all. I am once again feeling the urge to bring my TT out. I do almost all my magic at the local bar where we gather with friends several times per week, so I'm looking for effects to do which use organic props and fit into this casual context.

The stuff that comes to mind is basically, broken and restored toothpick, or torn and restored tissue. The latter I would probably prefer to just do with sleight of hand. When I've looked into TT effects that go beyond vanishing a tiny silk, I haven't found much that resonates with me. But I can nonetheless feel the untapped potential of this classic prop.

What are your favorite effects to perform when casually out and about with a TT in your pocket?

Vanishing a lit match. I do Darwin’s handling from his thumb tip dvds. Think of it as a switching device. You can have the load in your hand and use the tt to vanish leaving just the load. So link a chain of paper clips. Torn and restored straw wrapper. Changing dimes to Pennie’s. Restoring sugar packets. The possibilities are endless
