How do you answer...

[visualartist]

I just tell them "it's something I've picked up over time".

I think this ones a winner.
Mysterious and doesnt sound pretentious.

 

[Shades fan]

If your going to say that your a magician, make sure you have a card trick to show them, or at least a back palming routine, because their going to ask.

 

[SKSleighofHand]

I would just say, I am just playing with my cards.

 

[Sam Hardy]

I say:

"How did you do that?"

"Well you know...I get a lot of hand and wrist practice..."
*raise eyebrows twice in rapid succesion*

That. Was. Epic.



I usually reply with a statement suggesting it's something I've developed myself. "I find it's just something I can do with a deck of cards, I just teach myself." It doesn't hurt anyone, and it increases the respect the spectators have for you tenfold. Most of the time, the same goes for magic.

I say by practicing alot. If they say can you teach me I reply with a "i dont think so."

"god's gift"

 

[Jonas]

"How did you do that?"

"Well you know...I get a lot of hand and wrist practice..."
*raise eyebrows twice in rapid succesion*

If doing card-tricks didn't make you seem socially inept enough, that line will.

 

[primary.Sequence]

say you forgot

 

[popchris3]

Whenever someone asks me where I learned magic or flourishing, I ALWAYS answer that "I invent a lot of what I do; the rest I read in books."

The invent line, while not only bieng true, gives me a lot more credit to the audience.

 

[7uPyOuRs]

I have the best answer of all time. At least of this thread.

I say:

"How did you do that?"

"Well you know...I get a lot of hand and wrist practice..."
*raise eyebrows twice in rapid succesion*

That gets a laugh.

What if you are a female???

 

[Sam Hardy]

What if you are a female???

They think you're a sl*t.

[EugeneSoh]

I usually just say something like..

"I'm Eugene Soh..."
or
"Anything is possible when you're Eugene Soh..."

 

[FOO:L]

that aint magic. when you do crazy cuts and blend it in with break dancing and beat boxing, thats magic


hahahhaha

 

[praetoritevong]

roflmao FOO:L.

 

[cedwards90]

private lessons from jesus

 

[Shadow782]

I just usually say practice, and just leave it at that. There's really no need to tell them anymore. We don't need to recruit anymore laymen, and that's all it would do....

But if they really wanted to know what it was......

Well, Cerca Trova

 

[JDENredden]

Just say ''Where did I learn what" I always enjoy confusing spectators.

JDEn

 

[Skaface013]

I always say "That's For Me To Know and You to Find Out"

 

[UnknownEnemyZero]

"Very well, that's how I did it."

"Can you keep a secret? (spectator responds yes usually) Well so can I."

"I sold my soul to the devil and this is what I got."

haha what a diss line....
anyway, personally I would tell them I learned it off a secret magic site. if they press for details, i'd tell them to go here.
