Just thought this might be a good topic to start a thread on, and its to do with how you deal with your girlfriend instsiting they know how you do your tricks. I for one swore I would never tell a soul how I do my tricks, as I value my reputation (the small one im building up anyway lol), however you always let a couple slip out to the odd person for example I've shown my little 8 year old sister how the mike skutts coin up the nose works, because I feel sometimes it can brighten a young kids day up if they are shown how just 1 trik is done, and maybe she can go off and practice it now. Aswell as little children who you show the odd small sleight too, there is the I feel arguable question of "what about your girlfriend?" (or wife ). Im 18 years old, I started magic about half a year ago after seeing my uncle perform some pub tricks, and being heavily inspired by paul zenon (sorry I never wrote an introduction). Anyway I have a girlfriend who Ive been with a year now, and as you can imagine I show her my new tricks. The thing is I have never given in to telling her how any of them are done, as I feel I should treat her like any other spectator, surely she doesnt have the right to know just because shes my girlfriend lol. She constantly pesters me and says things like "If you loved me, then you'd tell me" , and "How can you not show your girlfriend?!" "Why bother showing me if your not going to tell me how its done" , and "Danny, people are saying that you must not trust me if you dont tell me" etc. Well im getting fed up, and I was thinking maybe its time I did show her how the odd one was done, test whether she does let on to anyone. I trust her, its just the fact I like magic being my baby, no one knows but me! What do all you lot think? Do you tell your girlfriends and wives, or are you a sole believer in secrecy? ......
What a charmer! That was poetry! Definatley going to use that, thanks man! I'm sure my wife will have something to say to it but damn! What a line.
