Hello all, i know i post probably more than i should but asking something here helps me out a lot.
I'll apologise in advance if this question has been asked before.
I am starting to build up the confidence now to talk to people when I am shopping in my local town (I'm in a little place called Devon in England) and most of the people i talk to are brilliant, i am starting to see how people are when i talk to them to see if they would like to see a trick, most of the time I leave it, but yesterday I actually did a couple tricks for someone and they went fairly well.
I did designed for laughter and a trick i believe is called the Chicago opener (it could have multiple names but that's the only one i remember)
Designed for laughter worked great and it did just that, made the person laugh the next trick ended well but they in their words (had an inkling) that i had picked up more than one card (they didn't actually see me pick 2 cards up) i probably should of stopped but i wanted it to end on a good note so i carried on.
When it came to the end i just put the rest of the cards in the box and the person still had a card under his hand, i said how i am still practicing tricks and how sometimes I will get it wrong, but before I left the shop I asked them if they remembered the card they last saw, they said it and i asked them to look at the one under his hand and he had a look of genuine surprise and shock.
My question is did I handle the situation right or wrong? Explain which one so i can try and improve what i do or say.
Thank you for all of your help so far with advice.
