Perhaps the best reaction I’ve got from The Queens was when I was at a convention a few years ago, and I performed to a small group of people of both magicians and laymen alike. Upon the last vanish the group went crazy; it was a lot of fun and I would certainly tell the vanish hit the spot. The fantastic thing was how much natural misdirection that created; no-one was taking a good look at my hands at that moment, which left my free to do the production. When they looked back, they then saw a display of four Queens in my left hand; and that is when they went stir-fry.
However, other than that the only other reactions I’ve got from this effect is a “Wow, how’d you do that?” – as opposed to a big shocking moment. In hindsight however, it actually isn’t a bad reaction at all.
