Everything I know about you makes me want to puke blood.

Thats actually a pretty good idea, as long as it's a trick you want to know. Make sure it's a fair trade.
I usually have a buch of different responses based on who I'm with and what I'm doing. Sometimes I tell them it's real magic, so there are no questions, Sometimes I just say no. Sometimes I explain that even if they knew how it was done they wouldn't be able to do it without lots of practice, and if the the effects complicated enough I sometimes show them how it's done very fast, so they understand, but still can't do it and are usually put off asking again.
Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.
