World Champion Craig Valentine suggests you prepare a funny response to Yes/No questions. Prepare a funny response if the audience responds yes to your question and prepare a different funny response if they answer no. Then after the funny no response move to someone else to find someone who answers the question yes. For example, you've identified someone who's a reader and you want to make a point about the importance of taking notes while reading. You ask, "Have you found that you remember things better if you take notes about them while you are reading?" "No." "Sounds like you might be a mind magician. Look through the book once and...you know it for life! Any non-mind magicians here who read and take notes?"
