Hey everyone! What's the funniest, weirdest, most extreme, etc remarks or reactions you've gotten from performing a trick.

My favorite so far:

A small group of my friends were watching me dissapear a coin from one of their hands using a Raven. I did the usual sweep of the hand and performed the vanish at the count of three. The second both of our hands were shown empty, one of my friends yelled out "He's a witch!" Got some odd looks from those nearby.

i agree with the devil comments
(insert hillbilly accent)
"He's into that black magic Wicca stuff, we learned about it in church"

right...cause when Jesus walked on water and resurrected himself it was a miracle. When he turned water into wine, it was God's will. When I turned the ace of clubs that was in your hand, into your signed card...it was because the Devil and I made a pact.
(i think i would've bargained for better effects)

some girl thought i hypnotised her once, if that were so, my blood-alcohol level would've had her do more than pick a stupid card, that's for sure.

"He made it disdappear (what he said no misspelling) into one of them black holes."

"You must have a great lifestyle" - earlier this evening.

after a little poker chip trickery- "it went up your sleeve, or you're using magnets" to which my reply was "i have a short sleeved shirt on here, and they're made of plastic!"

"Go away you horrible person."

Oooh, that's a bit vicious. Almost as bad as Brown's "You're only one step up from a rose seller".

Showed one girl a few tricks over the years, her responses ranging from loud screams to plain and simple "f*** off". Then, more recently she outdid herself, floundering at the impossible sleight free feat just pulled off before her very eyes, "wha...wha...wha....CRACKHEAD!"

Hahaha! Because everyone knows that all good magicians enhance their abilities by inhaling cocaine hydrochloride from a makeshift bottle pipe.

Doing a few tricks at a barn dance once and a young lady said to me....

" There is no point showing me these tricks as I saw a program on tv the other week which explained them all!!!!"

I was flabbergasted!!! For once I was flumoxed and just laughed and went on to the next person....

A guy in my parents pub once said:

'I thought of a card in my brain, and it just appeared on the deck. The weird thing is that it had my signature on but ive not even never even signed a card!'

He was pretty drunk...

"if you were back in my home-country, they'd burn you...."

quite pleased of that one..

the strangest I've had was after performing a book test. The guy gave me a very strange look, called me a 'Mistress of the dark arts' and couldn't get out of the pub quick enough.

The oddest reacton I ever had was at christmas and I was in a rather rough pub in Coventry doing some tricks for my girlfriends friend when a lad came over and asked me to do some material for him and his girlfriend.
It was christmas so I said yes and went over. As I got there he asked whether he could show me a card trick first so I gave him the cards and he preceded to do a genric maths based trick that many people do and I nodded, smiled politely and gave an encouraging word or two about how I liked the trick.
I then started my with the biddle trick and as I was piling cards on his hand he suddenly just dropped them stroppily on the table, sat down and continued chatting to his girlfriend leaving me stood there in complete wonderment.
I just gathered up my cards and returned to my table very very puzzled.

I should have realised something was up when I saw his cheap gold jewellery and Kappa tracksuit

The two strangest reactions I ever had was just a complete surprise to me at the time.

1) Rising card being performed at my old place of work in Birmingham. Paddy ( his real first name ) just watched and when he saw the card rising he jumped forward like a little girl, slapped the deck out my hands and ran down the corridor screaming ' I told you magic freaks me out !! '

2) just a simple balducci levitation for Sam at work ( also a boy ).

He froze.. his legs went to Jelly, and he walked slowly to the corner of the training room and hid behind the table talking to himself. About ten minutes later he came up and said ' Erm... just so you know, I wasnt THAT scared.. and if any girls ask.. I wasnt hiding.. I was looking for my contact!! '
