Street magic is hard, almost as hard a restaurant magic, but not impossible; i believe that the secret to perform is to don't let the people have a choice (i mean, if you ask them, they can always say no); i generally just call their attention with a normal question (anything is good) then i produce something from them (a sponge ball is the best production, in your case, you can produce a deck of cards from your mouth, or coins from their ears maybe) the next after you got their attention is confirm that what they're seeing is good; a quick mindblowing effect (a double that transform into the selection into their bare hands is on good choice) and after that, you have em to play. Remember it's street magic, so don't take it too long, try to talk loudly so other people gets arround and there ya go. PD: After your act, you can always have a friend to ask for some money if they liked it.
