Well, I get few response like "Do that again" or "Where did you learn that from?" and I'm not exactly sure how to respond to them.
When they ask "Do that again", I thought as a magician, never repeat the trick? So how do you respond to them nicely?
And regarding "Where did you learn that from?", that really brings down my professionalism as a magician. How do you avoid that? And how do you want to respond to that?
Another matter is, will adults enjoy my magic? Since I'm just 17 and I performed to friends which are around the same age... and I have not performed to adults yet. (Family or relatives not counted).
Yea, I know about magic, there's no age barrier or anything, everyone enjoy it... but it's like kinda hard for me to approach the adults. Maybe I'm just inexperienced...

I would say " In such case, it wouldn't be interesting, how about I show you another one whihc is much more interesthing ?"
It depends when performing to some people..
For me, if they were like asking such question in a rather serious tone, I would just say the line and give them a final trick,making them as a "hero" by simply involving them in the trick ( such as around the world ). Upon finishing, grab hold of his hand for a good handshake, I will, and Booms ! It goes for the end. I'll pack myself and leave. Perhaps I find it hard to achieve my goal by really entertain them. This is the way for me to deal with such people who merely try crossing the line.
Personally, I don't think that answering how I learn my tricks would bring me down my professionalism as a magician ( unless they interupt me in between my show lar :!!: ) In fact, I'll recommend them the only BASIC sources to magic, provided that I can "feel" that they have the urge to learn, very passionate to it and of course, theyaren't the potential hecklars. Be humble when relating is another thinkg to take note.
Will adult enjoy magic ? Of yea ! :!!: If they will not, it either the magician's problem or the particular adults'. To me, I believe all human can enjoy magic.
Some, however, restrict themselves from believing what is happening before their eyes. I don't really hate hecklars very much, they just have their own personalities that they dont like to be fooled or dont like seeing people getting
positive achievenments. Anyway, that's their business. :!!:

After some thoughts.. yea you're right. The reason why I feel it'll bring down my professionalism is because the way I respond to them is not really professional enough. Haha... -_-
