There is always more to learn and I love the amount of combinations you have here.
I carry:
What the spectator sees ( what they don't know)
Two decks of cards (I gimmicked and 1 not)
Sharpie
Rubberbands
Coins (either scotch and soda or 4 morgan dollars)
A folded bill (and a quad bill)
(Then in my back pocket I have a Jumbo coin and an omni deck)

I can do individual visual stuff or longer routines stuff. I need to add a packet trick. I also try to have two routines for each thing. One for standing and one for sitting.

Thank you again. This was awesome.

[RobHollander]

Found the Banachek "This and That" routine on his Penguin Live Lecture. The John Bannon "future" routine is called "Ion Man" and is on the first "Move Zero" video.

I always carry 2 decks; generally Red Bikes, sometimes one of each color, the red always being (these days) the Penguin Marked deck, old guy eyes.... You're right, I've never been caught regardless of lighting etc. (how many of us really perform for magicians) a shoelace, goes with my ACR :-) and recently Optix (long story goes with that one). A sharpie and a few coins. Really enjoying the long(er) format.

I always carry a thumb tip and 6" red silk in my jeans pockets out of habit but most of the time I forget they're there. They've been through the wash so many times that I could bill myself as The Man with the Cleanest Thumb Tip in Magic, lol. But I've also jumped on the mentalism bandwagon so I tend not to do much magic these days. I've just mastered my first mem-deck (Mnemonica), so now all I really need is a pack of NOCs (or other marked deck) to be able to do a couple of impossible memory demonstrations. I also use my Stealth Assassin as my regular wallet, so with a blank business card and a thumb-writer, I can throw in a PIN or serial-number prediction. Add to that a drawing-duplication system like AB See, one of several Sven Pad products, or Psypher, and I've _easily_ got a 15-minute mentalism routine, maybe twice that long if I'm using Sven Pad Deluxe (which I highly recommend). For negligible extra pocket space I can also bring four poker chips so that I can do Docc Hilford's wonderful Junky (I prefer to call it Psychic Poker), which has the advantages of allowing spectators to shuffle and cut as much as they'd like, as well as of being infinitely repeatable (it's also a great one to break out in general if/when anyone does the annoying "Why don't you let me shuffle the cards?" after an effect; shuts 'em up fast).

So, my absolute bare minimum would be: 1) NOCs (in Mnemonica order), 2) AB See or Sven or Psypher, and 3) Stealth Assassin/thumb-writer. If it's jacket weather, then I can add a duplicate deck of NOCs set up to do something like the Bannon Triumph or a Gilbreath-principle effect. I'd also throw in Sven Pad Deluxe, and what the hell, Psypher too, why not, lol (if you've got lots of pockets, use them!). If it's knapsack/full-kit, I'd also throw in a pack of tarot cards so I could do Luke Jermay's Tarot Psychometry, another brilliant and devilishly clever effect that's foolproof, easy to learn, and always blows minds. Sven Pad's Celebrity Presage book test is also an easy knapsack carry. All in all, that's a lot of mentalism and magic for, worst-case, two regular decks, one tarot deck, a notepad, a small paperback book, a couple of blank biz cards, a thumb-writer, and four poker chips. Alternatives to some/all of the above would include my all-time favorite, Lennart Green's Stolen Cards, Paul Harris's Son of Stunner (impossible prediction + triumph + color-changing deck), as well as the always-reliable Invisible Deck, still capable of knocking 'em dead after all these years.

Great topic David. My EDC consists usually of just my phone and wallet as I prefer to perform with items i can borrow or use around me. I do, however, keep my “back up” tools in my vehicle if I ever need to pull out the heavy artillery in a certain setting. These include a deck of cards, ring, a metal bender and a harmonica.

[thecommonmagician]

Great video!
I carry a Morgan super triple coin and a duplicate religiously. I get lots of material out of that alone. And then I keep some flat packing stuff in my regular wallet:
-4 Queens for an equivoque "Kolossal Killer"
-A 3 credit card multiple out prediction using my real credit cards
-A couple of double backed $1s and a couple matching serial $1s for a $4 Triumph and/or bill to impossible location
-3 store receipts set up for a Marc Paul "Summing Up" routine
-"Ice Wallet" peek gimmick
-My "Pick Six" lottery ticket prediction (NY LOTTO)
I also carry a small notebook and a 2mm lead pencil that matches my Swami gimmick, for when I carry that.
I also have Marc Paul's AAA Book Test on my mind when I'm around a book shelf (big Marc Paul fan).
I rarely carry cards, but when I do, they are usually plastic Copags and they start in my stack and index, ready for a handful of miracles! Also have a few impromptu, found-item things that I do when opportunity arrises.

[JKParmer]

I have had the Penrose Pendant for a long time, wear it so often that the silver finish is starting to rub off into a copper tone; weird but it's still a great everyday necklace and trick! Love it!

[eversosleight]

Good one! I like how you said the items should be independent. Right now my EDC is blue bike elite with an indifferent red card for Chicago opener and mavens bwave tucked in the cellophane. Sometimes I pack the peek wallet from Pete Turner's set. Thanks Dave! That $100 key is a good touch🤓👍

[carljensen]

This always a great topic. My EDC doesn't look like I'm carrying magic. For example, no decks of cards. My EDC has copper/silver keys that I can do a ton of stuff with, including mentalism (one represents yes and the other no). I also do magic with a key and a ring. In my wallet I have a packet trick I developed and some mentalism. I think mentalism is great for impromptu because it can be part of a conversation. In my cell phone pouch I have a torn and restored rose petal/heart and a few rubber bands.

Saw Steve Dela’s show last week, superb, witty and confounding - and he signed my Will To Read box!

[davidniederauer]

Great thoughts. Good recommendations. I carry a marked deck too. My favorite routine is to tell the spectator that he/she can be the magician by reading my mind and taking out of the deck my thought-of card. Also an easy carry is “Dream Queens” (I think it might go as a couple of other names and it might be the one you said you used to carry). It’s a short story ending up asking what the spectator’s favorite Queen is. Then you open an envelope and spread four cards. The Queen that was chosen is face is the only face up card and when turned over it is a different color back than the other three cards. This trick is pretty standard as part of any Gaff Deck. It might be the same thing as “Colorful Kings”.

[BeardyGuitarCovers]

I love these looks behind the scenes, there’s always a multitude of things I’ve never heard of. Great content as always, David!

[DJRosen]

Love this video. I do most of my magic for me these days so this is a great way to see how to link a few things together that are easy to carry and allow me to show things to friends and coworkers. Would love to see a series like this where each EDC was dedicated to a genre. Also, I know youve touched on this in another video but not just the tricks but the things you carry them in. Penguin has a Jerrry O'Connel Packet trick wallet that I wold love to see reviewed as an example.

[houdannycomedymagic]

David, I'm looking for the Penguin Marked Cards you have, on Penguin, of course. Are they aka "Honor Marked Cards"? Thanks...

[AlePrimo]

Greetings from Brazil! I subscribed immediately because I really enjoy your videos. I watch them everyday. I think these type of videos are excellent for the community. Tips on how to perform and combine tricks will also be great.

[SteveTemkin]

What a nice treat. Thanks for sharing! Have you further updated or expanded you EDC list.

[MexieMex]

I carry loads, but would never use more than one or two at any one time, in fact I'll more often than not refuse to perform at all, I just like to have options for when do choose to do something. Anyway, this is what I have in my EDC:
Deck of cards (in Mnemonica) in a steel (good for loading/ditching magnetic gimmicks) card clip (which has a reveal, I rarely use the reveal, but it's hand to have occasionally).
PK Ring
30/40 elastic bands on my wrist
KK set up in otherwise ungimmicked wallet
Loops in wallet
A couple of TT's
Business Cards (that double as billets)
Poker Chips
A packet trick wallet (with two or three packet tricks in, which specific tricks changes on a regular basis though)
Magnetic Bolt trick
A working squeaker
A non-working squeaker
A couple of 1.5" steel rings (for magic linking gag with PK ring)
Ungimmicked Wedding Ring
Die-Cipher
Sharpie in a Sherpa cover (ungimmicked, but has a rolled up four of clubs inside)

[sefhapita]

I never thought The Future will come up on your list. I love that effect!

[randycape]

I've been enjoying the change.
👍👍 for the helium review near the end 🎈🎈🎈
