In my case, they got spooked after my wife and I moved to the side, discreetly trying to see how the guy was hiding the ball. The false onlooker tried to block our view, and when we moved a little further to the right, he signaled the others and they flew. They moved so fast that if one of them had punched me for ruining their game, I wouldn't have known what hit me. Maybe they were ready to go anyway, but since they work in tourist traps, they probably avoid violence to attract as little attention as possible.
