Usually what would happen is people would walk by and if they did stop at the pitch stand it was just to demand a free show. Usually, this would just cause more problems than did any good. They would give us a microphone headset at some of the locations so we could add dialogue like a carnival barker or snake oil salesman. They set up ‘pitch stands’ at the front of the stores where an employee was supposed to stand and continuously perform magic tricks to catch the eye of people strolling by.
Management had a way they thought would get people into the store. Those who did come into the magic shop would more often than not be what we called ‘touchers’ as mostly what they wanted to do was come into the store and touch everything as most window shoppers will do. The general manager would call these people ‘twenty dollar bills’ as he said we should be able to get at least twenty dollars out of each of them…if they would only come in the store. Sometimes we got a lot of foot traffic past the front of the store. As well, many people would have just seen a magic show at some casino and try to figure out how the trick was done. People would come into the shop and demand, “Do me a trick!” They would often time come in to play what we would call ‘Bust The Magician’ where they would demand we show them a trick and they would try to catch us mess up.
