When you finish your performing, some audiences say "show me again", how can we reply this situation?

Being Italian I could say "Paganini non ripete". This comes from the knowledge that the great composer and violin virtuoso Paganini (to whom it may concern http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paganini ) would never repeat a perfomance in front of the same people. And in Itale it has actually become a common saying.
Another: "Oh, that would be boring! Wouldn't you rather see something else? mlippo |

If "they" shout, "Basta" that's bad! Basta,I believe is Italian for "ENOUGH"! So! your English isn't that "poor"! --and I'm a bit "persnickety" (!!!) about English. American English is notoriously a problem for someone not born here and accustomed to our idioms, and some of our very provincial expressions (like "persnickety"!!! I'll wager you can "decipher" the meaning of that word from the context! Where are you from? I'm Swedish/Norwegian (mainly)and I only know three words in the Scandinavian language!. Grandparents (new immigrants) wanted to learn English and wouldn't teach us kids any of the "mother tongue". Anyway...back to your concern. Obviously, you don't want to repeat the same trick (unless you may have a totally different method for performing it). We compare it to telling the same joke twice. (Not funny at all!) I liked the Italian (NON RIPETE) --hope I spelled tha correctly. I find it best to "dance around" without giving a negative reply. I might smile, and say, "Thanks! I'm glad you liked that. I think you'll like this, also!" Then perform another trick. If you do something "somewhat similar", and they like YOU, they will like what YOU do. The important point is "if they like YOU! So, "make" them like YOU, and they will like whatever you do. That was the philosophy of the late NATE LEIPZIG. He was a very successful professional in the early part of the 20th Century. --Everybody liked Leipzig!!! PS: Over here in the U.S., you will often hear a magician say to another magician (who has just performed a good trick, and fooled the first magician) DO THAT AGAIN! It could be translated: "WOW! that's GOOD!"

Have more than one method. One cancels the other. This is also the idea in a lot of multiple phase effects. And the is a lot of truth in the original reply, i.e. often twice is a magic lesson. However, some effects almost demand repetition.

Great question, I used to get asked this all the time. What I realised is that usually if you just do one trick it's not really enough unless it's a long trick! I feel like doing 3 is the perfect number. You definitely don't want to do too many tricks other wise there is such thing as a magic overdose! Trying doing 3 tricks and then end it and just put the cards away. You have to learn to be firm with this. Good luck bud!

I just performed last night for a group of girls at a bar (got a number ) I showed them FRENCH KISS and SMOKE, they brought another friend over and they asked me to show her the "card in mouth trick" again. I started to say once is a trick twice is a lesson and they were just like "ohhh that's right, he can't show you twice is a lesson" they laughed and I just went on to a different effect. |

I often use something along the lines "I would if I knew how I did it", that often gets a laugh and they'll start asking for another trick, if it was a fast and casual trick I show them a trick that hits them even harder, if it was a hard-hitting trick(a climax) I always leave them wanting for more. Keep in mind that it is best to build up to a climax when doing a routine, when the climax has come always leave them wanting for more.
