I guess it depends if I have a deck of cards with me or not. I'm starting to learn coin tricks so I can be a more impromptu magician.

But if you are not ready at all, just say, do you have a deck of cards with you? or something like that. They probably won't, which gives you a good reason to just get away from there. But all in all, it really depends on the circumstances.
