Normal Comedic Lines?

I entered this section of the forum very happy and was quite amazed to see all the useful tips and sayings available however in my short time, most probably due to ignorance i did not notice funny things to say when nothing goes wrong and when everyone is happy. I was wondering what peoples favorite one liners are while performing succesful tricks?

This might of been said in the link provided above but i like these two lines.

Spec. How did you do that?
Me- very well thank you

Spec.- How did you do that?
Me- Can you keep a secret?
Spec.- Yes
Me- So can I.

Those are two good ones i like.

When you practice at home and you "screw it up", stop and think..."how can I cover this if it happens for real! What happened to me and how it was corrected:
Everyone seen Blane's two card ( Queens to Aces). Well this effect is like with the exception...I hold only four cards in my hand ( 2 red, 2 black), not the deck.
Basically I counted the four in my hand,turned the top (yeah right) red and give to them, count three and give next top red to them. Then cards change to red in my had...black in theirs.
Here's the boo boo that happened, the cards got mixed so that when they turned their cards over...they had one red and one black (OMG freak out or no...NO). I said hmmm we got one to change, let's see if we can get them both to change. Took the cards back and redid the trick sucessfully and they thought it was part of the routine. Sure...sometime your not suppose to tell what is going to happen...but if you have practiced it enough your recovery will be good and you'll still fool em.
Magically,
Joseph

I got the original question -- what do you say when stuff goes RIGHT?

Try these:

''It's kind of fun to do the impossible.'' – Walt Disney

''Can I cook, or can't I? Actually, I'm a great cook... in theory. I've eaten a lot."

''The way to make a small fortune being a magician is to start with a large fortune.''

''One of these days I’ll be kicking back in my Lear jet munchin’ on a candy bar. I’m halfway there. I’ve got the candy bar.''

''I will find your card (or coin, whatever) with my bare hands. Actually, human hands.''

''This is educational as well as boring.''
