I got a customer I'm waiting on pins and needles for. He keeps coming in and leaving the staff a "million dollar bill" for a tip. On the back it has a "million dollar question" something along the lines of have you ever lied, had naughty thoughts or the like and if you have and you don't repent your going to hell.
I generally work behind the bar and do some tricks from time to time but on occasion I serve. So I've made me a bit of a homemade flash bill similar to his. Just can't wait to see it go up in flames when I touch it. |

I did it and it went Awesome...
The guy left it on the table with the money and the bill on top of the bill fold I picked up the bill fold and pulled out the flash bill it went up and I looked SHOCKED and said "that hasn't happened since the last time I went to a Church." He grabbed his wife and pulled her out of the restaurant. An hour later I get a call from him wanting to talk to the manager. Which was handy seeing as I'm the manager and had already told the owner who thought it was hilarious. He told me unholy things were going on at the restaurant. I told him "I know people are passing off counterfeit bills as tips to my wait staff." he didn't take that so well. I chuckled he hung up. Oh well lost a customer, made my entire staff happy to work for me. Seems like a good bargain to me |

I've performed in different venues and I've been fortunate since I've never had any complaints from Christians or any religious groups. They seem to know the difference between "entertainment" and some kind of a "voodoo magic" thing. That even goes for the mentalism effects I do. But I have to admit I keep a very light air feel to my effects.
Good magic to all, Eric |

One of the head waiters in a restuarant I perform in always mumbles: "Witch" when I come in. I just laugh it off, because he is a very intense character, and looks genuinely freaked out about what I do.

Never had anyone fire up on religous grounds, but when I was in Indonesia recently and did a quick ACR for one of the hotel guys, his jaw just dropped...he paused...then asked me how many years I had meditated to be able to make that happen!

I've had people say "no" when I approached them, but the only time someone actually brought up religion was when I mentioned magic during a discussion on a bus trip. The weird thing is that in the Dutch language there is a separate word for performance magic and actual wizardry and black magic.
I'm still mad that I didn't have the sense to continue asking them why they objected. Sometimes I wonder if the religious people who object to magic actually know the difference between a trick and "real" magic. |

I think that it's because of the overly-assertive vocal a**holes that much of the world hates Americans. In this country, the gene pool needs a lot of chlorine! Some Americans, like myself, don't want the American way of life spread around the world. I'd like to have some place to go to escape it, when I can afford to leave.

LOL I have been performing in restaurants for many years and have been accused of being the devil/demon many times.
Personally I do not feel this is a bad thing for the most part as I get a lot of repeat customers come to see the devil incarnate perform. I must admit I do a darker based performance, that are so off the norm that they can only assume I work for the devil. to me it is the greatest advertisement to have someone so shocked or stunned they cant handle my performance for more then a few seconds. I even use it in my advertising and quote them like they are giving me an endorsement. you would be suprised how many shows I get just for the pure strangeness of my performance. |

I perform Close-Up Strolling Magic at parties.
Last week I worked at a large family 2 yr. birthday party at a Hindi Family's home. It was mostly very traditionally dressed adults and the women and men were mostly separated in their seating (like in separate rooms). I'm a strong performer but friendly and non-threatening. I got several (like 5) sincere questions about if I did Black Magic. I explained that I am an entertainer and I would never use Black Magic (which I take to mean Magic of any sort with evil intent). They seemed to accept my answer and were a very nice audience. I've seen my share of religious jerks but some people just don't know what to think. Remember we aren't really advertising that it isn't real Magic. Also as good as reading the million dollar story makes me feel (priceless!), I don't suggest antagonizing the nuts. They can be very dangerous. Really. -Mary Mowder |
