Aight homizzle, I be wacking you out with the trippy s*** right now dawg.
What turns a spectator off? What will make them want to say no when you approach them? They'll turn you down if you talk like that fo shizzle.
First impressions are a must in street magic, just like girls, clients, friends, and more, if they don't like what they see or hear, they'll brush you off like you're crumbs on a couch.
Now I haven't said you can't speak like that, but there's a time and place for everything. Once again, when trying to make an impression, you must turn off all smart ass remarks and comments and turn on the charm. Imagine your spectators as that girl (or guy) that you see from a distance and immediately want to talk to and ask to a gala, movie, back of your car, or Denny's. How would you approach this girl? You wouldn't go up to her and say "Let me show you something big".
Here's the thing, always ASK, a simply politely asked question will make all the difference, that way it makes your spectator's to be feel at ease and not pressured into watching something that they weren't planning on watching. Don't go up to your spectator and say "Let me show you something awesome."
Back to the girl... When walking up to her, would you look at your feet, or look up and smile? Smiling allows for someone to look at you and see no harm. Smiles bring a sense of calmness and serenity to the person you're approaching.
When smiling at your spectator, it will show them that you really mean well and really have a desire to entertain. Your spectators to be will want to make you feel good when you smile and this will give them more reason to say yes, rather than completely blow you off.
Good grammar also helps, and speaking clearly becomes a valuable asset. If your spectator to be can't understand you, what will make them want to listen to any more of you if they continue to have trouble understanding? If you want to make a joke during your performance using bad grammar and "hizzle nizzle's" then knock yourself out, but when approaching, you don't want your spectator to be to think you are a complete babbling fool.
Approaching is a type of art, if you master it, then you can get right into your magic.
