Hey,
Now I've often run into the following situation recently and so I wanted to hear your opinions/solutions for this "problem".
When I was at a party, some guys asked me if I could show them something and well me as I magician of course I didn't say no. Now I've showed them a few tricks and then after a while one of those guys (which I had already seen a few of my tricks), was talking to some other people and I went to these people as well since I wanted to talk to them. And then after a little bit somebody of them asked me if I could show them something and so of course I did. But then after one or two tricks, the guy who had already seen me do some other tricks before said "Come on show them that awesome trick which you performed to me and my other friends before" . And so I wasn't sure what to do. I mean there is that rule in magic which says, "Don't repeat a trick" (Unless it is a trick that is construed for repetitions). What would you guys do, I mean this often happens to me and most of the people of the group I'm performing that trick to has never seen it before, but the one or two other guys who told me to show that special trick to the other may then see it the second or even third time and I don't know if this actually gives them the opportunity to figure the trick out and tell the others (even if the performance is just top notch and flawless...).
Please tell me what you would do. Perform that trick or just say "No" and do something else or what kind of excuses or recovers would you use.
I hope you understand the text I wrote and I can't wait to read your comments.
Have a great day
