A good one at parties is to ask people a string of easy maths questions '2+2' et cetera for about thirty seconds, then quickly ask them to name a vegetable. They'll normally say carrot. Some people will say 'tomato', until you point out it's a fruit!
If you have their full attention and do it very rapidly, it works more than 80% of the time. For best results right 'carrot' on a bit of card and have it in your pocket to amaze people. If you're feeling sarcky, write 'tomato is a fruit!' on another bit of card in another pocket, and reach for the appropriate one.
Also, I don't know if you've heard of him over there, but check out 'Darren Brown':
