How do you manage a stalker?
You know, that creepy person who follows you from group to group when performing strolling magic?
He's always one meter behind you looking from over your shoulder trying to figure stuff out.
What's worse is that he will randomly say to a spectator: ' i know how he does the coin trick'.
In this case the stalker was no other than the guy who was paying me. Bastard.
I was not harsh with him because that would have been unapropiate, but i made it clear that he's behaviour was foul.
What else could one do?

Yuck. That's even worse then just a bad spectator. And he's the guy who is paying you, to boot!
What I would do would be to ask him to come to a more private area and try politely asking him to knock it off. =) Explain that magic is all about surprise and mystery and, by telling people how he thinks a trick is done, he destroys that mystery.
Or you could also get him on YOUR side. Have him put a duplicate card in his pants pocket and then "pretend" to be walking by as you happen to vanish the original. Or teach him a simple effect which he can show to his guests.
Good luck! =)
Sweeeet!
Now i know what to do next time!
You know what? I've done this in the past.
He was not a stalker; he was a former amateur Magician who offered himself as a stooge.
I said yes and we both performed the most incredible, clean and magical signed card to spectator's pocket :)
Thanks!
