Nearby where I live, there is a shopping center that holds a Target, Chili's, Regal Theaters, Coldstone Deli, and other shops. Anyway, on Friday and Saturday nights, it seems that the secondary school crowd loves to gather there (loitering in front of the Coldstone, theater, and the Target). My cousin and I decided it would be great to go up there to mess with a couple of patrons.
With decks in hand, my cousin went to one end of the loitering party, I went to the other end and we started doing magic. We both had T-shirts that say "Tips Appreciated."
After about 5 minutes, I looked over towards my cousin's area and there was a huge crowd gathered. I thought "AWESOME FOR HIM." I had a crowd around me too but his was a bit larger.
I did an ambitious card routine and before I knew it, my crowd was HUGE. I'm not saying we were at competition but it was fun just pretending like we were.
A police man came over to break up the crowd asking, "what's going on here?" I told him who I was, what I was doing, and also told him that after witnessing how the teenagers behave around here, I was doing him a favor in controlling them a bit. He smiled and said, "Show me something"
Some people just couldn't walk away, becoming late for Good Luck Chuck and Resident Evil while others were just bewildered and basically ran the other way.
Luckily, no hecklers on my end tonight, they all cooperated and volunteered VERY willingly.
Success for us. ^_^
Just thought I'd share.
