It's virtually impossible to earn good money by doing card tricks for people you walk up to on the street. I would suggest you get a proper job and keep magic as your hobby. It's much more fun that way around.

I'd have to disagree with you here. I know many people who make more busking than I make at my job, and actually make their living off of it. (though my business income is more than both, hehe). I'd have to say get some experience on the streets and work on your presentation. As far as actually making money, there are plenty of threads here that explain it. (if not here, then I know Ellusionist's forums do)

Anyway, not to get off topic, my top 5 are, in no particular order...

ACR
Out of Sight
A trick I created that has yet to be named
2CM
Sinful (I know it's not a card trick, but with how much I love it, I had to add it)

planning on getting Stigmata and Indecent soon, and with how much I like watching them, I'll probably like doing them and add them to my "top 5" list.

Noone out there who can tell me where to find some routines fom Bebel?

Impromto is tricky at first but such a huge lesson for performers.

My CUrrent top 5 are:

1. Keshian crossover (my own)
2. Twistz (Rory schlimer)
3. Ambitous card (hehe i dont actually know...practically everyone)
4.card to mouth ( i think this is possibly the cheekiest and simplest card trick i know)
5. Spiral flux (me)

One nice touch that with practise canbe made into a half decent trick is simply palming the deck. At first i was like "are you serious? people are not that dumb" it is not a question of inteligence. It is how well YOU do it. I often use it to "blag" past people if i dont wantto perform. I say like i lost my cards or..they keep moving... try it.....

oh my goodness i blabbered far to much.

Easy Ace Estimation - Creator undefined to my knowledge

This effect is credited to Paul Gordon from his book Nocturnal Creations, and I believe it's originally Ed Marlo's.

The main workers from my repertoire:
1) My collectors routine, Copperfield Aces.
2) Ambitious Card
3) Card to spectator's shoe
4) Liar- an effect of mine I perform all the time.
5) Paperclipped
