Hi guys. Have any of you ever been performing magic for people and produced an ending that you didnt even know about? This happened to me a couple of days ago!

I was at a family friends barbecue and, naturally, i had a pack of bikes in my back pocket. I was just wandering around practicing my charliers, fans, springs etc, whilst having a couple of beers when one of my mates dads came over trying to be funny saying 'hey magic man, do something magical!'. I wasn't to impressed by being asked in the way that he did, but i put it down to the beer and agreed. Good time for practice i thought!

So before i did anything i said 'do you want to see a card trick......but without using any cards?'. He seemed confused but agreed. I showed him Third Degree Burn which sent him crazy and made my own mom think i had burnt myself! I showed them all a few more tricks such as Stigmata, Sinful, and Healed and Sealed.

Eventually, my mates mom came along wanted to see 'the trick where my card keeps jumping to the top'. I showed a short ACR with her signed card, but the beer was getting a little stronger and time was getting on so i cut it short so i didnt mess anything up and to go home and sleep! When i went to go, she grabbed my cards and started trying to get me to read her mind from a card she was thinking of. I managed to avoid that and stepped out the door, when she started THROWING MY CARDS AT ME!!! Only jokingly mind.

I picked them back up, and walked home. The real kicker came the next day when she came into my work and started screaming about how she went home and got ready for bed, and found HER SIGNED CARD in her shirt down her back!!! I just smiled and let her have her moment, and then went into the back and racked my brains how that could have ever happened!!

If anybody has any ideas, i would love to know! Might turn it into a new finale!

Has anybody else got some strange stories that they would like to share?

now thats a nice coincidence, must of freeked her out bad lol
I havent had anything like that happen to me but there was this one time when i had the usual crowd of audience wanting to see some magic. so i took my cards out, showed a couple of XCM and got on with it. Done my ACR routine, blew minds as usual, 2 card monte came next folowed by a quick card to mouth that made everyone hysterical.
But it didnt end there. Theres always one person who wants to know how everything is done, even if it means messing up your trick. One guy didnt seem to impressed this is what happend

Basically he took the cards, and pronounced 'yeah well try and find my card now' With this, he took his card placed it cleanly in the pack, done a couple of over hand shuffles and squared the pack. This was all done in his hands.

Now i knew that chances were against me, i honestly had no idea where his card was and had no idea how to find it. so i guess i had to improvise

I went through the cards, face down, getting ready when to my surprise, HIS CARD WAS FACE UP??!? everyone flipped, went crazy!
I was thinking to my self 'how the hell did that happen' and thought to myself that he must of done it by accident. Lucky me i guess
