During a recent vacation in Las Vegas, a man went to see a popular magic show. After one especially amazing feat, a man from the back of the theater yelled, "How'd you do that?"

"I could tell you, sir", the magician answered, "But then I'd have to kill you."

After a short pause, the man yelled back, "Ok, then... just tell my wife!"

Tee hee

Jim... did you realise, the idea is, to tell a joke only the *magic fraternity* would understand... not just to google 'magic jokes'...

Thanks anyway for the golden oldies ;)

Hey, no need to apologise! They were good :)

But the idea is, to come up with a joke the layperson wouldn't understand, but a magish would...

Like...

I made this up, no offence meant...
Jean-Paul and his English mate Dave are in a busy Parisian bar. They've just seen a walkaround magician who is a friend of Jean-Paul's... The magician is awful, terrible performance.
Jean-Paul asks Dave to be polite and complimentary, even over-exaggerative and enthusiastic to try and encourage his magician matey a little...

Anyhow, the magician reaches JP & Dave's table, and starts off with producing a little bottle of wine—miniature, like those spirits you get on an airplane. He does a few bits of manipulation with it, exclaiming the French vineyard which it comes from is haunted.

Finally, the magician asks Dave if he wants the wine. Dave, in false excitement says 'Yes please', and the magish asks Dave merely to guess which hand it's in.

The magish holds the mini wine bottle in his left hand and goes over with his right hand and mimics taking the little bottle, but it's obvious to Dave that the bottle has fallen from his left fingertips and is resting out of sight in the left palm, hidden by the fingers.

The magish closes his fists, and asks Dave which hand it's in.

"The left one, of course" says Dave.

Bewildered, and not expecting that response, the magician opens his left hand, and sure enough, the mini bottle of red is there. Dissapointed in his own lack of skills, the magician hands the little bottle to Dave.

Dave opens the little bottle and swigs the wine, immediately spitting it back out and grimacing at the wine's sourness.

The rather embarrased magician takes a bow, and leaves the bar.

"Why, Dave, why? That has really upset my friend, why did you have to go and do that?" asks Jean-Paul...

"Well..." says Dave, 'That's probably the worst French drop of wine ever.'

:oops:

A man walks into a shop that sells different kind of banners, countries, sizes, colours e.t.c

He sees someone taking a stock take on all of them

"What are you doing?" the man asked.

"Oh" he replies, "I'm just doing my annual Banachek"

;)
