I'm sure a lot of us have been caught or asked questions but what is the best thing to do in a situation like that. Recently i was caught preforming a TT trick because one of the people watching was an arrogant magician who knew the trick and spoiled it for every one else that was amazed and i didn't know what to do or say.

Pay them off...


...Thats how I got my work with the BBC





Its not a good idea to post messages when you come back from a nightclub...

I ussually laugh and tell the person to show me a trick

Means you need to practice more, work harder, misdirection, presentation, etc.

Dont let them catch you, dont let them know they caught you, dont stop performing, keep moving on.

I always make sure I have 2 ways to do a trick. If they say one way then I do it the other way. Sometimes they come up with outlandish methods and then you just have to laugh and say, "No, that's not how it's done. It's magic."

I agree with David the Cryptic

I don't want to sound harsh but it's really inexcusable getting caught with a TT I was out working last night and used the TT quite a bit and got away with everything despite the specs really burning my hands.

Get Darwin's encyclopedia of TT magic or similar and practice more.

Don't get caught. Either learn time travel or practice more.

Not much more to add really.

At the moment of getting caught with the TT, you smile, wink and say, "Geez...I'm all thumbs today."

Then, you go home and take The Cryptic One's advice to heart.

Mike.

Never been caught with a TT. The right angling and moving your hands fast enough will make sure of that. Also, misdirecting them to the other hand, object which should be the focus of the effect, not the hand with the TT on it.
I often do the cigarette through borrowed coat effect and all eyes are on the coat to see whether there is a burn hole or not. This moment makes it very easy to dump the TT.

My wife and I often laugh ourselves silly when I put a TT on both thumbs and walk around the house giving the thumbs up to our unsuspecting children.

Tis a sad life we lead.

Either learn time travel or practice more.

Either buy Stephen Hawking's book or a Delorean car and you're away!
Failing that, find an old Police Box somewhere....

find an old Police Box somewhere....

Tried that already but a Paul McGann fan has gathered them all up & is holding them hostage until a regeneration story is told.

Mmm think I'm on the wrong forum here, off to Outpost I go...

Well if it's time travel you want, my wardrobe, record collection and DVD's will transport you to the 1970's...
