You could work up your own sponges for some sponge magic. You'll want to get the large pore type of sponges - the beige-ish ones that kinda look like coral. Trim them down with an exacto or sharp scissors to form a "ball" - you'll need at least 3, preferably 4.

You can dye them for a stand out effect - reds or greens tend to stand out on any color skin, so I recommend some tint of those colors - you'll want all 4 to be the same color (you can make 1 different colored one for a swap trick - I'd keep it simple and go all red or all green.)

Walmart stocks some metal tumblers/shakers that you can make into a fairly nice looking cup and ball routine - get the little fuzzy balls from the craft section while in the store.

Do you have a Thumb Tip?

Will you have an assistant that you can seed into the audience?

A ton of rope tricks you can do with any rope. You can buy some decent quality rope from Lowes or Home Depot.

-------------------

Not magic - but you can build your own juggling balls with 7" round balloons, Rice, and Sandwich Bags.

You own juggling clubs with plastic soda bottles, tape, dowell rods, and a few other tools - search these forums for my post on "Green Club Project"

If you're able to plant someone into the audience - you can do a few prediction tricks with any deck of cards (selected card appearing on opposite side of glass and such). Takes some practice and some patter, but has a nice effect on the crowd if done well.

All you need is:

Playing Cards (2 decks)
Magicians wax would be ideal, but those sticks on clear glue will work in a pinch (you will need to replace your card decks more often using glue sticks)
Reliable help (someone who has ok vision, and can be discreet)
Some patter to keep the crowds attention for 30ish seconds
A plate glass window or door to throw your cards against.

Email me for the details if you cannot see how the trick unravels...
