I was attending a sales meeting the last few days and one of my co-workers who knows about my magic asked to see a magic trick while we were in the bar one evening. So I went into Two Dollar Window (I carry it all the time). About half way into the first fold of the trick another guy who I didn't even know walked into the bar and when I was finished he insisted I let him hold the bills. I had already started to return them to my wallet when he asked so I handed him 2 other $1 bills. He was "one of those" if you know what I mean, and his next comment was, "Chris Angel or David Blaine would let me hold them if they did it." I'm not going to repeat what my friend said to him here but you can probably guess.... Of course this is not the first time I have experienced this but it got me wondering a little.
I know this happens way more than we care to talk about but, what would your "come back" have been to him or how would you have handled it? |

How do I know you won't grab my money and run ! Then just laugh and put it away. I've been saving this line for years in case someone ask to see my "Extreme Burn" bills . So far no one has asked, but I'm ready when the do.
The fact that it's only two dollars makes it even more funny to me.

Tell him that you're not "Chris Angel or David Blaine" and then proceed to do another totally different trick that he can handel freely maybe Crazy Mans Handscuffs.

"I only trust my money to people who trust ME!"
"Sorry, the last time I fell for that I lost my money!" "I'm not handing you money! There are undercover officers in here...and they're WATCHING!" "The last time I did that, the guy held up my money and yelled DRINKS ARE ON ME!" "You must be late to the party...I've already established that I AM CHEATING!"
WHAT IF you wake up tomorrow with ONLY the things that you THANK GOD for today?

Yes, some good comments.
I also like the original appoach of continuing to put the bills away, and then pulling out non-gaffed bills as an after thought (which is also a good approach if you initially borrowed bill, and switched them out in some way) I haven't done this, but it is possible to make the gimmick in a detachable way.

Well, Chris Angel and David Blaine are surrounded by a camera crew, sound techs, producers, and groupies who would jump you if you tried to run with the money. I got nobody.
