I have found people to be quite unintentionally funny.
I had a restaurant in Key Largo where there was a patio. People would walk in the front door and ask "What is the weather like on the patio?" Or they would look at the fish counter and ask "Is that fish fresh?" I always said "naw we tried to throw it out but the garbage man refused to take it." Bartender asks people if they want a drink and they say "Nope I will just have some water.". My favorite though is when people call the theater in Branson and ask "What time does the 8 o'clock show start?" Now you don't have to look too far to figure out what it is people "mean" when they say these things. Even the theater question is easy because in town most theaters stagger show times so traffic is lessened and the question is what time does your evening show start? Still pretty funny though to hear the first time. To me these people are far more amusing than those who attempt to be funny with make my wife disappear.

When I worked Busch Gardens people would inturupt the show for directions but more commonly as I walked through the area.
The best inturuption was the lady who wanted to know where the roller coaster was and I had to yell-back. "Could you repeat yourself, I couldn't hear you because the roller coaster is making too much noise." (As I looked up and pointed).

Are you a REAL magician ?

While paying for several cartoons of Bikes at Costco, the clerk asked why I needed so many decks after speculating that I was running an "underground poker and disco club" (not sure when those activities have ever gone together). I responded that I was learning to be a magician and was practicing the trick where you make the deck disappear then reappear. I added that I hadn't yet figured out how to bring the deck back. After a brief pause, he said, "That's SO cool!"

I was eating an apple and I did a coin vanish, one-handed, and with the other hand I was holding the apple... someone asked me this interesting question :
"Do you need an apple to vanish the coin?" |

I once had a woman come to me after a show and she said ''that was really good, have you ever thought about doing it for aliving'' I have been doing just that for the last 30 years.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

For the past several years we've been hired to perform at an event called "The Blackberry Festival". They have a pie eating contest that happens right after our show. We alsways have folks come up to us before and after our show and ask, " What kind of pie is in the contest?"

I work for tips a lot. Every time I pull out the wad of cash to pay I get asked if I'm a server. As a 240lbs man, I smile, wink, and say, "No, a dancer." as deadpan as I can muster. I had one lady say, "Well, everyone has different tastes."
"Money is how people without talent keep score."

Are those trick cards
No trick hands. Your wedding ring is magnetic .....and so is my personality. I then turn my ring into a coin and continue with the routine. Or for some strolling gigs I change it to an apple taking a bite Or into a grasshopper... Gotta fly- jump ....

From bookers when I arrive at the venue/house they nearly always say "Did you find us okay?"
I always feel like saying "I'm standing in front of you, what do you think?" |

Magicians themselves are the best. "Can you do that with a red deck"?

Where do you want me to set-up?'
