My great-aunt taught me to peel off a little shell and membrane, enough to gently insert a teaspoon, with the bowl facing the egg. Run the spoon around the curve of the egg, and it will pop right out.

My trick involves getting someone else to start peeling the eggs. You then leave the kitchen assuring them "I'll be right back and help you with those..."
Failing that, I use the tried and true "roll and peel" method. It's simple, easy, and doesn't cause kitchen-based trust issues.

The trick is to only use old eggs. The older the egg, the more space between the shell and egg.

Boil eggs, put under running cold water for a couple minutes, drop back into boiling water for 1 minute, peel under water. Fool-proof.

I'm with Corycm on the roll-and-peel method. I don't know if I'd want anyone blowing my egg in that way!

When faced with hard-boiled eggs, I like a simple two-step method:
1. Drop eggs from waist height into a lined waste recepticle.
2. Walk away.
Age of eggs, point of origin, and water temperature are irrelevant with this method. It never fails me.
