Sorry for my previous post that got removed for just cause. I have to admit, TV is corrupting me into loosening my values. Hmmm...I should disconnect it for a while huh?
Any way, sorry everyone I offended.

Bill, I don't know. It might have gotten deleted while I was in the bathroom.
I'm back now though.

Eric, that is actually a great idea. I would add a card force to it and have the prediction say: A male spectator who has asked me to make his wife disapear will choose the 10 of Diamonds.
Being of Italian decent, I say, "No, actually I can't, but for the right price my cousin Tony from Brooklyn can make anyone disappear."

Just thought of this one.
"Can you make my wife disappear?" "Sure, but do you want it to look like an accident?" (said tongue in cheek, of course)
Possibly followed by, "Easier to collect the insurance that way." (Wink, wink)
To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. “I will drink the ocean”, says the persevering soul; “at my will mountains will crumble up”. Have that sort of energy, that sort of will; work hard, and you will reach the goal. ~ Swami Vivekananda

I simply look at the wife and say,"that's not magic; it's a crime". And move on the next effect (or table).

If you work somewhere regularly like a restuarant where people come afterwards and ask you to vanish their wife...take a photo with a digital camera/phone of a specific part of the wall or room. Next time you get asked, pretend to get an idea and ask the wife to stand in that place and take her photo. Then show them the photo in the digital display. Then snap your fingers as you secretly press the BACK button so the display smoothly moves to the first (blank wall) photo and voila, the wife just vanishes...

I've always said (deadpan), "You won't believe what she asked me to do to you." It shuts the guy up, gets a laugh, and the wife appreciates it.

One time as I was entering a home for a show the slightly inebriated husband asked me (rather seriously)if I could make his wife dissappear?I don't remember what my response was,but after my show the guy was jumping all around and thanking and hugging me yelling..He did it! He did it!Yahooo!.Yippee!
It seems his wife left to go to the stores,and he searched the house for her,and she was nowhere to be found. By that time he was fairly blitzed.I said my farwell's and left post haste.(Smiling all the way home).(I was glad I was paid pre show).

I was also going to post this topic about the make my wife disappear.
Since the day I started magic I hear that,
Every show I do its; "Can you make my wife disappear??"
I am half Italian and I used to say, I am half Italian and I if I make your wife disappear she will disappear. But at one show I said it to an Italian couple and they looked at me as to say “What the hell do you mean” whoa I never use it again. Now I carry a latter with a
F.B.I. logo I pull it out when I hear those words, Then I say the F.BI. want you to sign this waver so they wont have to look for her. And of course the husband want to be the star of the show come running up and say “I’ll sign”

"Can you make my wife disappear?"
Answer: "Yes, but then it wouldn't look like an accident..."
Answer: "Yes, but that which I do to her will come to he who asks me to do it, three times over - meaning YOU will disappear THREE times. Can you afford that much airfare?"
Answer: "No. That's the Sorcerer's Guild. It's a union thing. Sorry."
Answer: "No. The Patriot Act specifically prohibits it."
Answer: "Maybe, but we would have to bring her in on the negotiations, first. The EEOC rules about that are very specific."
Answer: "No. It's an OSHA thing."

By far the best one on here. It has been a few months since you posted it. Are you still using it? What changes have you made?

Feel free to use it. It has always made the fellow proud that he's with someone beautiful (I don't say it to shame him, but to acknowledge his beautiful partner) and the women blush with the compliment.
