I was performing close-up at this posh bar. Scanning the room, I decided to approach this couple sitting at a table. They turned my offer of some magical entertainment down flat. I thanked them for their time, wished them a good evening and moved on.
There was a couple sitting right behind them that invited me to show them some stuff. I was more than happy to entertain them after being knocked back by the previous table!
Just as I was getting into my routine, they told me that they had overheard the conversation the couple that knocked me back had been having. Apparently, the man had just told the woman that their marriage was over, that he couldn’t stand the sight of her anymore and that she was a fat #*@$! At that moment I approached their table with a wide smile on my face, springing the cards between my hands and asked if they would like to see some amazing magic! Timing or what?!!! I’ve made plenty of things disappear in my career, but never a marriage…until now I suppose.
Any other horror stories out there?
