Hey guys, first of all I'm new here so hello everybody, looking forward to giving/getting lots of help.
Now, this thread is to discuss the different types of spectators or more clearly, the different kinds of personalities that spectators show when in a performance out there. I'm talking more like spectators in school or people who you would see again. But some of these do apply in street performances for example. So here's my view.
The Closedminded
These are the people who probably get amazed with your tricks but still see you as an everyday dude. They tend to lose interest as fast as possible and is like you never showed them any trick.
The Interested
These are the people who really enjoyed the performance. They usually enjoy if you keep doing tricks but won't be behind you asking you "do it again!". They usually follow all directions as told and are the least likely to mess you up.
The Mean-lings
These people are the ones that have one purpose in life: to put people down. These spectators will do whatever it takes for you to mess up the trick or get an unexpected result. They tend to ask you to repeat a trick and they don't follow directios as told by the magician.
The Slow-Minded
These guys/gals are always ready for your tricks and follow all directions as told. But for some reason they will probably end saying a typical "I don't get it". This kind of people will make other spectators go *facepalm*.
The Easy-Target
These spectators are the easiest to perform on. They will get amazed with the simplest tricks and may keep asking you to keep on doing tricks until you don't have anything up your sleeve.
The Religious Flakes
These are the ones that immediately believe that you are using demonic powers doing a basic card transpo and never want to talk to you or even be close to you ever again. Usually call you Houdini, The Devil or simply Satan.
The Nonreactive
These are the ones who are amazed and have no idea how you did it but just go "thats cool". They are usually the jealous kind
The Magic Dabbler
This spectator often reacts exactly opposite of what they'd like from their own audience. They're silent, they burn your hands, refuse to be misdirected, and when you leave, they often divulge what they think you did to their friends. This, of course, is because they were likely the only magician their friend had ever seen, so they must keep their status quo high in their friend's mind.
So, that's all I could think of as of now. What do you think? Any other types?
Lol, this is a random post to be my first thread. Anyways, hello everybody
