I like to see magic being done anywhere. When I see it and can get away with it, I'll take a photo of the deed as surreptitiously as I can...
Here is my latest acquisition: a guy doing a "find a card" type trick. He wasn't half bad, either...

Paper makes money,
Money makes banks,
Banks make loans,
Loans make beggars,
Beggars make...

More accurately, I should have described this as a "you do as I do" type of trick.

He couldn't have been too good. His lady friend is getting whiplash from checking out the young guy walking past! LOL

Latest random magic: a fellow came into the bar and tried to hustle some pool, obviously not knowing the caliber of players at our place. Well, he didn't win much, but he spun a pretty good yarn about his palm reading and fortune,telling ability (obviously he was unaware of my own talents in that arena...  )
So! He whips out some garden variety cold reading tripe. I play along. He must have felt pretty good about this, because he launched into an elementary psychological force:
 I helped him out by obliging him the correct answers. I could tell he was a "real" fortune-teller because throughout the whole conservation he was 100% "GTFM". Gotta respect that, at least...
I then tell him that I, too, have been told that I have "the gift" (true ) and that I am a devotee of Kali (also true, well sorta...) he was Indian, so I knew this would affect him, in some way or another... Then I busted out a swami prediction, the old "3 dice numeric trick" and then, once I had him on the ropes, I finished him off with Docc Hillford's "E'voque".
Awe and confusion ensued, along with pleas to teach him exactly how these feats were done (sorry, Mr. Charlatan... Cash on the barrel-head for your type...)
And even after this he STILL tried to get a couple of bucks out of me. And, failing this, he tried to get a free drink out of me, which, I must confess I gave to him, and gladly (if for no other reason but for the entertainment he provided to me this day.
