Question:

Do you need a license to preform street magic for tips?

If yes, in what states / cities, and how much they cost to obtain.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes, most cities that have street vendors do require a permit and you can check out the city's website for fees, etc. I believe Santa Monica, CA requires a permit for street performers. I would assume the fee would be minimal.
