Any performers care to share some their good comedic lines when performing metalism or direct me to any resources which may?

Now I just want you to make your mind totally blank
either backed up with 'You've done this before' or 'Not that blank!' |

Don't use those lines Bigdunk. the guys are only teasing. these lines are only used by fragile magicians. Sadly quite often.
Now if you really wanna be 'out there' then try: "Don't you guys think people in the world today are far more aggressive than they used to be?" Then... looking at someone not too handsome... "What do you think Fish Face?" Y'see? It's all about attacking and ripping your audience to bits. C'mon! Tell me I'm not wrong!!! Bobser (still working... still very funny)

I've liked these old standards.
"Do any of you believe in telekinesis?......If so raise my hand." "A few people think I'm psychic.... A few people think I'm telepathic.... Most people think of me as psychopathic..." |

One of my own ruls... Never get comedy advice from a magician or mentalist. It's like asking Britney Spears for song writing advice.
Will you, won't you, ESP with me?

That's actually not an "old standard". It's an Emo Phillips line. Re: "One of my own rules... Never get comedy advice from a magician or mentalist. It's like asking Britney Spears for song writting advice." Now THAT'S funny! DD |

Prepare to fail if you recycle others' material, especially those old lines. Let your humor develop out of what's happening on stage and your interaction with the volunteer. Yes, it means you must perform a routine a few dozen times for an audience before you have a presentation, with gags, that you can start to improve.

I find calling them a layman and a thicko causes raucous laughter! Sometimes I laugh so hard I can't continue with the effect. Not sure if the audience laughs though, I guess they must.
