As a one time journalist I learnt a candid trick.Place the strap of a reflex around your neck and find a suitable spot in cafe or street or wherever.Open a newspaper and tear open a hole the size of your lens in the middle.Pretend to read the paper but scan those approaching you thro the reflex viewfinder.
Can anyone provide other wheezes?

Use a smart phone! (or are they not allowed here? ;-) )

Back in film days, if I wanted candid shots I just turned the twin lens reflex sideways and shot. They always assumed I was shooting the way I was facing. I suppose I could use my T3i's live view at waist level and do the same thing.
Are you John Gielgud?

My wife is the smarter one so I need to hear most of what she's saying, but for those few times when I don't, this is sometimes effective:

Famous English actor, no longer among the living. Strong resemblance. Google him and take a look. You might see a picture of him with a beard.

Sorry, I don't see a strong resemblance, except for the lack of hair.
