Have a clear cup filled about halfway with nickles, when they ask, drop another one in and say something like, and that's just today...see if they catch the "If I had a nickle" reference and don't say anything else...

Well, I don't know if it sounds good translated in english but in France, I answer most of the time
" Sorry, I perform magic, not miracles !" " Well, yes, I can do it, but if you are interested please join the waiting list, I am full until 2015 for that" |

I always get a laugh when I say this to them. In the past 6 years that I have been performing magic I have probably been asked if I can make their wife dissapear 100 times, and everytime I say the above line, I have always get a laugh.
It may be the 100th time you have heard it, but for spectators it's the first time they have seen a magician in person, and it's certainly the first time they have asked the qustion, so to them that answer is funny and different. To be honest people read far too much into one liners and trying to catch out spectators. Just get a laugh, big or small and move onto the next routine, I have been asked the question far too many times to care enough to focus on giving a different answer each time. The above works for me, it gets a laugh. |

I, too, have been pounded with this question. My stock response has been "I don't think you want me to do that as I don't think you could afford my fee."

If she isn't present: "Absolutely." turning completely serious, for a beat. I'm a super smiley guy, so it's a funny change.
If she's present: "And..(turning to her) counteroffers?" When she replies or laughs, I'll laugh in response and say, "Lol, you guys are awesome. What a fun group. Here, let me show you this."

How about "Don't worry, after watching a couple of my tricks she will probably disappear on her own". Said in jest, I don't think this self depracating remark hurt their image of you. No one gets insulted and you go on with your magic.

Although the nickel gag is pretty funny.
Weird is part of the job.

Or maybe not. I could also mention that when I say "You guys are awesome!" I put a slight emphasis on the word "awesome" and say it a tad louder to give the impression to people standing nearby that someone else is saying that in regards to something I might have just done. I don't yell it or anything, but it has a slight rise to it. But now we're getting too deep in the game, I reckon. I probably spend waaaay too much time to on these little details when I should be practicing my faros, lol lol lol.

Everytime someone would say this line during his show, he would open the curtain to show the board and would do another tick... He had another one saying can you change my $1 to $100. I guess you could have a page in your note pad and do something similar... |
