There's a version of this in Mark Wilson I think, can't remember what it's called though.

Offer the Hecklers a chance to meet your Magical Assistants.

Probably the best thing with hecklers is to just walk away.

Either that or you can get them involved by asking to borrow a £20 note and then proceed to vanish it, and then walk away :lol:

In my opinion, the best solution for hecklers is using some sort of betcha that will garanty them losing or better yet, an old trick that's secret is well known. But, use a more modern method, for example, Henning Nelms discribes a nice method for the broken and restored match in his book "Magic and Showmanship, a Handbook for Conjurors". Most hecklers will give up if you can embarrass them. If none of the above work set off a handfull of flash paper or (my favorite) have a double shooting flash wand with you so that the flash f fire is accompanied by a bang.
