If he knows what you are doing, then do something else.

If you are using cards, switch to something else like coins.

If you are using coins, switch to thumb tips.

If you are using thumb tips, switch to pens.

The list goes on and on, and unless you don't know what you are doing, you can easily fool the heckler with something he doesn't know.

Ugh. Stay away from him. The kid's a jerk and can't stand a little competition. He's jealous up the yin yang. Just give him his space and "co-exist". Yeah, keep him on the other end of the earth.

id beat him up lol

learn to throw cards i suggest ricky jay thats how i learned. if some 1 messes with me i throw the selected card at em. you cant get in trouble say you were throwing the card to him i mean who knows how to throw cards. so he will get pissed and not want to watch or ruin your tricks and your teachers cant get mad.

P.S watch out though cards realy hurt ive broken the skin on friends so makee sure you arent useing something poweful like the dolphin dart.
good luck

That is the worst [edited] lead up to a trick ever.

I always feel like I have to stress that someone cannot tell people how you did a trick if they know what they just saw is 100% completly impossible.

Throw CARDS at them?!?! Man, that's gotta be the dumbest heckler handling method I've heard!

But certainly the most entertaining. XD

But I agree with the staying away from him plan.

doood Im 16 soon and I cant wait to finish school lol because of a$$holes like that, it seems to me that he's one of these kids thats just sad and has such a crap life himself that the only with he as to amuse his self is to cause trouble for others.

and my advise is to always have something ready, that is smart and quick witted to say bk to him. That make him look the fool he is.

I had the same problee when I started magic . just dont do magic around him or have something to cover what he is saying no one has ever cort me ever and Ive done 100's of effects for people in school and out practice them to perfection man tis the way trust me.


ps people like that sort of person u are talking about never come to anything,just keep that in mind when he does it again


jamie keep it real dood

YOU GUYS JUST DO NOT GET IT!!!!

If you perform magic as a trick....people are going to want to figure it out because it is in the form of a puzzle! People like to solve puzzles!

If you perform magic in an entertaining way, people will sit back, and enjoy themselves...not caring how the trick is done! Magic is a form of entertianment...not puzzlement. I have tried to make many of you guys understand this but nobody ever listens. So long as you are making somebody enjoy themself...and not appear as a show off...they will have fun and play right along wanting to see more.

This is the secret to eliminating hecklers!

Give it a try...learn to present as a form of entertainment...you will see a dramatic change in amount of hecklers...I promise!

Be careful about that. Sometimes this will work, but not usually. It tends makes the audience realize that you're just as quick to retaliate as he is and all of a sudden, you've lost the loyalty of the specatators.

Rule of thumb: Don't attack your audience

That actually might work... I threw one at a lemon and it went halfway in...

your style of magic should be built in to avoid hecklers. if you are a joker, there are ways to joke with him too. agree with him sarcastically.

but since that isn't too good advice, i suggest you follow the kick me sign suggestion, when he annoys you just pat him (sticking it on) and say yep. you don't want to be enemies with hecklers and walk away all the time but you want to be sneaky

if cards are thrown correctly they can pierce a watermelon rine or even crack drywall

kyle's advice is great, take it into consideration, good job

Are you suggesting throwing cards is good because you can cause physical damage? T_o

It's that kinda stuff that leads to lawsuits and no future gigs. ESPECIALLY if you cut them!



I second that.
