Timing.... but i had to wait until you blinked

Very Well.

Its top secret till you pay up! - that is how magic works though isnt it?

with the light on, otherwise you cant see.

"Quite well I thought"

I can't remember who I stole the line off.

Lots of practice, lots of expensive books, and through the nepotism of Satan...

I quickly and camply wave my hands in front of my face, dramatically stop and say "Magic!" Always gets a laugh. And then we move on.

Years of practice

I became a magician to find out, and I still don't know...

I stole this from magiccafe...

1.Spec: how did you do that?

magi:I did it when you done that.

spec: done what

magi: when you looked away see you did it again when you look away is when I do the secret move and that's how I do everything I just wait untill every one looks away at the same time

spec: I didn't look away?

magi: well you must be cause you didn't see the secret move.

spec: What secret move

magi: exactley you see my point




There´s also an old one:

magi:Can you keep a secret?
Spec:Yes!
magi:So can I.

fairies, it's all done with fairies

Its magic.

After showing someone the ID, I told them that I just turn over a random card and the trick only works once every 52 times, and they believed me

That's not a good reply. It totally diffuses the magic and is a believable and unimpressive method.

"Scripting Magic" has a chapter on the various solutions to the question, if any of you don't mind buying a book and reading an essay to get an answer.

Just smile/grin and say nothing
