Dave Bonsall (www.propdog.co.uk) sells a pill bottle of "Wife Vanishing Pills"
In his words: 'How many times have we been asked "Can you make my wife disappear?" We all get asked this accompanied, by a smarmy smile. Well now you have an answer, you reach into your pocket and pull out a small pill tub, on it reads "Wife Vanishing Pills", you show it to the man who asked the question and tell him to give her a few of these, he laughs and the wife gasps. Then you show the wife the back of the tub, which reads "Warning: Contents may make your wife intelligent enough to leave you". Now she laughs and he gasps!! It's the perfect answer to that inevitable question!!' |

That Bonsall prop sounds funny. Have you used it?
A couple of times, I've gone with "Keep that up, bud, and you'll make her disappear yourself," with a look and a wink towards the wife at the end.

I remember they had an article for "best answer to 'that' question" in "Genii."
I seem to remember some of the winners were; (Point to wife) What do you have in mind that's better than that? (Point to wife) No, but I can make your daughter here vanish! If I could do that, the first one wouldn't have cost ME $20,000! Who else can you find who's going to put up with you?

Ed-
WHOA! I love that first one! Yeah, I'll be using that. This Thursday. Maybe I really AM truly psychic; I know for a fact that some jerk is going to ask the question. Not much bugs me, but I guess I'm a little tired of those guys and their disrespect for the ladies who treat them so well. Oh, man....I'm looking forward to this.... -MJ |

I've always thought it interesting that I have had many husbands ask me this question, but never any wives. Anyone venture a guess as to why?

I love Ron Frank's response, too.
Not being that clever, I thought I'd share an experience from long ago. This was the age when a few night clubs were still operating, and still had the occasional "floor show." At age 17, I (illegally, because I looked 21 but wasn't) got myself booked into such a club for the new year's eve festivities. I simply did a "cold call," went by the club and set up an audition for the owner - this was the days before video cameras were ubiquitous. Moving forward to the night. I go up to the bar between my sets, and the owner, of course, asks the classic question. His wife was standing right there, smiling. "Okay," I said, "I'll give it a try." When he walked into the back room to grab something a few minutes later, I said to wife something like "Let's have some fun at his expense; he wants you to disappear, so why don't you go hide in the ladies room for a little while." She went for it, and a few minutes later, the club owner comes back out and says, "Where's Sheila" (or whatever her name was)? I hadn't realized it at the time, but "Sheila" was more than a little tipsy, so when she went into the stall in the ladies room, she (apparently) almost immediately fell asleep, leaning against the wall. Two hours or so pass, and the guy's getting really annoyed and maybe a little nervous. "Look, I called the house, she ain't there" (this was long before cell phones too, of course). "Do you know anything abou this?" I replied, "Look, you asked that she disappear, I didn't say I could bring her back." After letting him sweat for another quarter hour or so, I said: "Check the ladies room, and next time, be careful what you ask for." |

"Sorry, conflict of interest...she asked first." That's the line I always use.
Joshua Jay actually addresses this question on his Magic: The Complete Course DVD when explaining a trick he does with photographs, BTW. |
