How do you start a flourish act

Hi, this week i was at the house of a friend of mine and one of his neighbors asked me to do some magic.
Everything went well, at some point while we are talking i started to do some flourishes (it has become a habit for me to do flourishes when i'm bored or something like that) and they like it, so i did some more, but them i was thinking:

I have no F#$%ing clue of how to start a flourish act.

So my question is:How do you introduce the flourish to you audience?

do you enter the room and say: look how awsome i am and start your flourishes?
or do you use the flourishes to get some atention if you are in a public place and introduce people to you magic?

What do you say?If you work on a stage how do you start your routine?

(sorry if the thread got a little confused, i'm brazilian and for me its hard to express myself in another language)

i like to say something like "now I'll just do a simple shuffle" and i do a complicated looking florish and it gets a laugh.
