If it's not a gimmick than you can hand it to them and say " here do you want to try. Hopefully the batteries still work."

So it's good for the parents! All my friends kids have been educate in MP anyway. Trips to Scottish castles etc are a staple of some holidays. And we regularly watch MP any-time I'm back in the UK.
Another MP reference that works is "Neigh! Neigh!"

Man there are some great tips here! Handling hecklers goes with the territory. 1st decide if you want to be funny, cool, or dead serious. here's a few of mine.
"It cost me $___ to learn that, would you like to learn it? I'll give you a 20% discount." "I give Magic lessons at reasonable rates; see me after the show and we'll get the contracts signed & set-up a time to get together. I'll tell you later when I'm all done." Then, when I'm done, if they ask again I say: "Did that one work? Wow! How DID I do that?" or: " I had to sell my soul to the devil to make that work. I'm sure he'll do the same for you; want me to give him a call?" I actually like the "Magic lessons" one the best. "There ain't no such thing as a free lunch." You'll soon find out that you might be unpopular, but you're a MAGICIAN! That makes it all worthwhile in my book! I really liked the one that was posted: "ask your mother,she knows everything." Then I'd say: "If that don't work, ask your father, if he don't know HE can ask your mother." Great stuff guys!

“When is college I went on weekend caving trip in an uncharted cave. Somewhere in the middle of what I guess was the second day I hit my head HARD on a stalactite. I was out cold for about 15 mins. When I woke up my friends were freaking out and I was able to do this. That is all that I know. If I could tell you more I wouldn’t.”
I have never been asked a second time. |

First time it's entertainment, the second time it's a lesson. And I don't give lessons for free.

How did you do that?
Do what? How did you do that? I am not sure. How did you do that? When you were not loooking I did magic stuff. Finally How did you do that? I sold my soul to the devil.
If I were to agree with you. Then we would both be wrong. As of Apr 5, 2015 10:26 pm I have 880 posts. Used to have over 1,000

I like to say "I could tell you but then the brotherhood of magicians would kill me in my sleep for breaking my oath of secrecy".
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I always say, "I turned around while you weren't looking"
Then I say "okay, I'll show you" and I proceed to show them another trick. Then if they ask again, I say "one minute I'll be right back" and I leave, When I return I change the conversation and the magic is over. |

How do you do that? (Adult)
Viagra works for me not sure about others. How do you do that? (Children) Study hard at school learn all you can and let me know when you are ready to do magic. |

The Question:
"C'mon... how'd you do that?" Possible Answers: 1. "Fish. But don't spread that around." 2. FOR an ACR= "Look closely... There is a minuscule titanium microfillament that rests upon the upper left-hand corner of each card. It is this brilliant and elaborate ruse that allows me to bring your card to the top of the deck and both keep my job at the same time." 3. "Dunno... I forgot." 4. "The same way I do this." (Proceed to disappear in a cloud of smoke and lightning accompanied by a pyrotechnical strobe light display. It'd be worth it if you had the cash. Someone please do this in WALK AROUND puh-leeeeeez )
