Edible napkins go with mouth coils pretty well. Some patter about being "odd" and eating paper or whatever - throw in a fake gag or cough - then get to the mouth coil. "Chaz" Misenheimer (magicbychaz.com) has a short but funny stage routine with coils (along with other magics) and is one of the best strolling magicians I've ever met - not simply because his magic (although it's well done), but he has a presence about him that really makes his show amazing...

More on beginning magic - get yourself a thumb tip. You may have to buy a few to find one you're comfortable with or several for various loads. I always have at least 2 (4 if you count the D'lites) on me... sometimes more than a half dozen for different uses and/or loads. Everyone should have a thumb tip at the very least...
