How about some different ideas on how to respond to the spectators, "How did you do that." Besides the old ones, i.e. "very well thank you" "magic!" "Can you keep a secret...so can I" "if I told you then I would have to kill you" I am looking for something with a little more class, a little more charming, than the tried and tested listed above. Any ideas??
I forgot to tell you: the one that I have been using goes like this, with a gentleman like smile I politely say, "Awe c'mon if I told you how it was done, then I would go out of business." |

I usually tell them that I have absolutely no idea, that it just seems to work that way, and that if I ever figure it out they'll be the first to know.

I say,"I cheated." Then do cards from the mouth. Then say, "I use extras!"
Funny bit...

i either say "very fast" or pretend to come out of a trance and act as if i missed it. 'Do what?' or say 'you don't want to know, seriously'
Or i will say "i will show you' and do something else

that question always seems to be an excuse for me to do another trick because the way i see it - if anyone realy wants to know "how" it means he realy doesn't know, therefor he is and has been involved and more than likely enjoyed what he has seen. So.. i take out me handy rubber bands - do the crazy mans handkuffs a couple of times - give him the bands and quickly depart before he can ask me again.

In closing the pom-pon stick, I say that: "There are only three people in the world who know how this is done -- and I'm not one of them, so I can't help you."
I have never had anyone ask me how it was done after that! (Although they have commented on the stick and the routine). |
