We've all seen him/her. The person who just sits there unimpressed and tries to act like they know everything the magician is doing. "That's not real magic." DUH!
I was at a party and a my friend's girlfriend threw out the fact that I dabble in magic and everyone wanted to see some tricks. And of course, the cynical a-hole was there. I haven't really done many performances outside close friends and family, so I'm not used to hecklers. The guy who shouts out "It's in your pocket" and tries to boost his own ego. Of course it didn't work and the girl he was with literally dumped him that night.
But my question for you, is how do you deal with those situations? I basically ignored him and continued my act. I even did some counter magic to try to shut him up, like attempting to put something in my pocket but keeping it in my hand anyways.
