Magic Jokes: Recycled Remarks for Magicians

Author/Originator: Various

Coming up with new material all of the time is hard. Recycling old jokes? Now that’s showbiz!

That’s why we put together Recycled Remarks, a newly updated (and still shamelessly secondhand) collection of nearly 250 time-tested magic jokes - one-liners, quips, and ad-libs. These are the kind of lines magicians have been borrowing from each other since top hats were considered casual wear.

Why do we keep recycling them?
Because they still get laughs—when delivered with decent timing and the faint whiff of desperation. Whether you're dealing with a heckler, a stubborn prop, or a slightly inebriated audience helper who just dropped your deck of cards, there's a snappy comeback waiting for you in one of 15 helpful categories.

So flip through, find a few gems, and pretend you came up with them yourself. (We won't tell.)

21 pages. Digitally re-typeset. Not funny on their own—some assembly (and personality) required.

Note: This compilation contains the best material from two earlier works: "100 Classic Magic Jokes" (a $4 value), and "125+ Standard Magic Lines, Quips and Ad-Libs for Situational Comedy" (a $4 value), along with over 50 new, hand-selected lines.
