Now this is an interesting question I've sure we've all been asked. You perform perhaps a flashy effect for some one, they get startled, and instantly as you to see it again. This is where the conflict comes in....
My question is what do you say? It seems that this has happened more and more with me since my comfortability and skill have increased (and I have performed to more and more people) and I have never really found an answer and have always fallen back on "No".
The situation has two sides. One is that it is a positive remark, they liked it, they were surprised, it made them happy. The other, if you were to perform it again, puts you on the spot. They know whats going to happen, and it puts the method in extreme danger. Although if you say no, its over. The effect has transformed from you being magical, to you being sneaky, and if they were not out to figure out the secrets at the begining of the routine, then they deffinatly are now....
I'd just like to know if others agree with my opinion, and whether or not someone would happen to have an answer... The way I see it there are three options...
1) Say No
2) Say yes, repeat the trick
3) Say no, but I'll show you another one
