What do you guys say when people say to you "How did you do that".
If you keep thinking on it, you'll come up with ones that fit you. I don't know if you're a super-serious type, lighthearted, smart-alecky or something else, so I don't know what might sound like something you might say.
As AsherF says, silence is a pretty good option. The question is often rhetorical, so a smile and a wink (figuratively) is often a great answer.
When I'm busking, I pick whichever seems to fit the moment (and effect) best; I try to have a bunch in the back of my head just in case.
- pretty well
- passably
- the standard way
- I don't really know
- with style and panache
- with alien technology
- the show is free, the lessons cost money
- Jedi mind whammy
- with the wisdom of the ancients
- I did it when you weren't looking
- double jointed thumb
- should the trick be one of the 'bogus explanation' type, I reiterate the bogus method.
When it's just me performing for friends and family, it's usually something like "you know I can't tell you that."
