Trading with my Opener

Last week I performed at a comedy club in Wisconsin. I reached out to my opener and offered to trade him something from where I live for something local to the him. He said yes, and here’s what we swapped:

If you’re travelling and have a local opener, reach out to them and offer and exchange, it’s a fun ice breaker, but it also get’s you the good version of the local thing!

It also established me as a “talker” and that the show is going to be joke based, but not your typical magician-y jokes.

This trick has gotten me a ton of work whenever I use it at showcases, it quickly becomes the talk of the event!

The coils I use I make myself from cloth ribbon and they are reusable.  I simply rewind them around a straw that has a notch cut out of it.
