So yeah , recently i apparently inspired someone in my school to get into card tricks. I was sitting while he was performing a few basically self working easy tricks that i taught him. The fact that he watches video tutorials on Youtube and doesn't take the time to practice it is also a threat to me because i sometimes perform 2 card monte or the biddle trick and don't wanna give it away . Finally he ran out of tricks so i decided to help him perform card through window effect, he did and the reactions were good, they were like "How did you do that ?!!!" and his response was "Its very hard" and i was okay with that, just like any other magician, you should play it off a bit. I even helped him get a rid of a selected card from the deck and i also acted surprised like any other spec.
Finally the specs asked me to do something and they said i was better or something like that and his response was "I taught him everything" and that really pissed me off and whatever trick i would perform he would try to catch me, when he thought i was holding a break he would be like "put the cards on the table" and when he knew the moves he would say "i see what you did" out loud thus saying that he cannot be fooled ....
So i decided to perform Nacho Mama's Triumph to the specs. knowing that he would try to catch me. I performed it well and i finally did the Ego Change to reveal that the deck changed color. His face was priceless because the ONLY sleights he knows is the DL and Hindu Force ... he thought i used a gimmick or something. He took my deck and put the selected blue card on top of the red deck and tried to figure out the change. He took the deck away from me, with the blue card on top, went to some people and tried to "slide" the blue card to the bottom of the deck using his other hand, basically trying to repeat the effect , of course it was VERY obvious. I went to him, took my deck back and said "don't bother yourself"
So yeah, i thought i would share that with you guyz and any advice on how to deal with these type of people would be great ...
