Mine is almost always the same thing when I perform on rare occasions. (i hate performing magic because I'm afraid that I might make a mistake and reveal how the trick is done so yeah) Anyway, its the same old comment for me.

They always ask me if its black magic I'm dabbling in. I'm like >.>......

Once I was in school (it was at recess) and I did a little routine to 3 of my friends. I ended with pressure and they were so amazed they cursed and cursed for like 10 minutes and couldn't stop staring at me like I was a God. It was so funny, it look as if they had been striked by lightning. And then... they got in trouble for cursing.

Yeah, you have to be careful about magic at school, even if it was recess. Done poorly, you look bad; done well, you cause a public disturbance!

I just got harry pottrolled. ^_^

I used to go to a Conservative Baptist school when I was younger. Although I didn't do magic there, I'm pretty sure they'd "cast the demon" out of me for conforming to the "dark arts" of the world.

Heck listening to Hillsong was considered bad in my school, what more magic tricks in which they would not be able to comprehend what it really is. ^_^

I think the best reaction was probably the first time I completed a magic trick successfully. I could feel my face kind of light up. I wish somebody had of video taped it. I've never really had any crazy audience reactions, but I also don't practice magic much.

I just got a better one. I was at summer camp 2 weeks ago and performed magic for a girl I likde, knowing that she also liked me back. I did an amazing trick, and we were all alone, and it was the perfect moment and we kissed <3 (I'm blushing right now).

I don't really do tricks anymore, but when I'm practicing flourishing in class I've had kids flip out. Its really funny when I have a deck out and one of my friends try's to describe which flourish they want me to do.

There are a lot of people in my country ask me that can I be tell their fortunes using cards.
I really don't understand them.
Don't they realized that magician is not a fortune teller. T-T

So I did not want to make a new thread so I searched for this. I was out for dinner tonight with friends and as always I played around with my card when I waited for food and when done eating. The waitress asked if I did card tricks, I did one of my better mentalism tricks that uses cards. ended up with her getting all her co-workers to come over and watch. A guy who was working (unsure if a waiter or manager) walked but and told me to "get some booty" made my night.

and I will be going back

Some mentalism is practically custom tailored for attracting members of the opposite sex! I like the "Do As I Do" two-deck trick, personally - it helped me win over my wife!

I performed a 2 card monte at my friends youth group. I was pretty much surrounded by everyone, was fairly nervous about angles, but was confident enough in myself considering the downtime I spent away from magic. At the start of the trick and showing the first ace to my audience member, he said, "I know how this ones done," however when I gave him the ace and allowed him to turn it around, his face went blank and he said, "Oh..." So anywhoo, I did the trick, got a great reaction from everyone. Some called me the devil, some ran outside, someone patted me on the back, and overall it was an awesome reaction.

After an emotional break up I went to the strip club. I was pulled in the private lap dance room.

The stripper asked how much I had, I pulled out $100 in twenties, and then with a flick I changed them to ones and told her I only had 5 dollars. She was mind-fucked and got pissed off. It was hilarious.

So, were they able to extract the bouncer's boot from inside your ass?

Once performed the snap change with a mother and her newborn watching. The baby stared at me for about 2 seconds and started laughing.

I did a trick that works better with drunks. It looks good except card is a heart when it was a diamond. She told me you must have done it like this, and then was like "well no I guess that would not have worked" So I went with her on that,that was not how I did it. So awesome.

Performing for drunks can have its pluses and minuses. The more drunk they get, the less risk that a mid-trick fumble will even be noticed, but the more likely they are to mess up your cards due to lack of coordination - or vomiting...

I get a lot of very awesome reactions when I perform in the hospital. A week-and-a-half ago, I was performing for this one woman, a young doctor in the pediatric ER. She was trying to mess up my trick, moving an extra card to the bottom of the deck to cover a key card I would later use to find her card. I was sharp enough to notice and adjust for the extra card, thus finding her card and impressing myself nearly as much as I did her.

My favorite reactions are when the kids say they feel better after I've performed for them, or when the parents tell me that I made their kid smile for the first time in a good while. Moments like that make the time spent worthwhile.

I normally stay away from drunks for that exact reason, but she had just enough it blurred her thoughts a bit.

I also get a kick out of how some people will see a trick performed for them, then remember it in a much more fantastic manner than it was actually performed! It's as if their own mind is rewriting their memory, it got so blown away by the performance! They would describe the trick after I'd performed it in a way that made it seem as if I was some sort of miracle worker, using methods I never used...
