When a lay person thinks of the word "magician," what are the things that usually first come to their mind?

First of all why are you asking us..? I for one would ask a layperson this, not other magicians. However, I believe they think about a male man(Not a female. I don't know why they don't think of a female magician, maybe because the assistant is usually a female, either way it's quite sexist.) in a suit and tie with a top hat which he can pull a rabbit out of.
If they don't think of me right away when somebody says "magician" "magic" "hypnosis" "good-looking-guy" then I didn't did my job right.
Ni siquiera quiero comenzar a decir que cosas evocan aqui cuando alguien dice Mago...
"Oh you mean like Criss Angel or David Blaine . . ." That's a common response I'm sure a lot of us have heard before.
Haha, I just started watching the simpsons and I love it!
anyways, don't want to get off topic. so, yeah, magic.. haha
There have only been a few times I have had a laymen say anything to me after telling them I am a magician. They were all co-workers. These where their exact questions. First time - Can you float like the magicians on TV? Second time - Can you do magic like the guys on TV? Most recently - Do you do magic for birthdays? I also juggle, so thats where the last question came from.
