I saw this topic on another forum, and it was fun. Here is my story. Yrs ago in Italy I got a job table hopping at what I thought was a fancy nightclub filled with gorgeous women. After my spot the men gave me great tips, encouraged by their dates. However, I got fired after my first night, because the owner said the men were paying more attention to me than the women! Turned out the place was a brothel. Who knew?

There is as story that Leonardo da Vinci was out with the boys at a tavern. They jokingly abandoned him to pay the bill knowing he had no money.
He had a final glass of wine and rose to leave, gesturing to the waiter of a pile of coins on the table. The waiter waved and Leonardo left. Later the waiter discovered there were no coins, only an impromptu painting on the table.

Had a woman jump and scream when the fourth coin went across. Seemed like an extreme reaction --- I'm pretty good, but....

The strangest thing that happened to me while doing some coin magic was when after doing a few coin tricks, a guy in the crowd yelled out if you can do magic, then let me shuffle these cards and tell me which one I select out. I'm sweating as these are not my cards, they are just some cards off the bar. But I say, go right ahead (with as much confidence as I could muster), and he did. He said OK, this is my card...what is it? I thought for a few seconds, knowing I had no idea, and simply said the 3 of clubs... Lo & behold, the moon must've been in the 7th high, and Jupiter aligned with mars... it was the 3 of clubs. 😳
While I like to think it was all because of my coin magic, I left to roaring applause and never went back to that bar again.

When first got my Quiver, I was not used to how it works. I was in a Chinese restaurant picking up an order. I used the Quiver to change a dollar bill, given to me in change, into an Ike coin. The cashier, who spoke little English, got very excited. She started jumping up and down. She opened the door to the kitchen and called the cook. He came out annoyed and she talked to him in Chinese. She motioned for me to do it again. I tried to change the coin back to a bill, but the Quiver wouldn't work. He thought she was nuts. It was funny.

It was about 1985 and I went to my 'home bar' after I got off work (I worked at a brick and mortar). The regulars at the bar called me magic man... Well, before I showed up, a guy was going around and showing off his new trick coins. A friend brought him over to show me the trick after I got there... I wasn't going to say anything about me being a magician, I was just going to be a person (he actually did a decent job with his Scotch and Soda) and I acted amazed. Well, it was then I was introduced as being a magician and the guy became all flustered and somewhat defensive. I think he thought I was patronizing his performance, he started to bring out the bang ring and expose the trick.
I had in my pocket a Johnson cig through half. I stopped him from resetting the S&S and asked him, ‘By chance, when you bought this, did they show you how to do this with it?’ I grabbed a cigarette and proceeded to put it through the coin. After I handed it his S&S coin back to him, he went to his table and try as he might, he could not figure out how that cig went through his trick coin. Come to find out, he had wrote a bad check at the Magic shop for the S&S set. He went back in to find out how the cig through worked, and one way or another, the shop was able to get the payment for the S&S. |
