Ok, a silly mistake by Flash...

This very day I nearly made a very costly and stupid mistake...
I've been staying in Ipswich and was meant to be performing in Birmingham this afternoon, I'd just responded to a mail from interested TM members as to where I was going to be and was just about to set out on my merry way, when I checked my shift times... It was then I spotted that I'm not due to perform till tommorrow!


Luckilly I've realised my mistake (otherwise I'd be driving to the gig now) but I really was convinced, I'd made plans for tommorrow and I'd even discussed going to the job today with the Agent who organised the event (neither of us had picked up on the fact that I'd got the date wrong)!!

This got me to thinking... Surely I'm not the only one to make mistakes, there must be a whole bunch of embarrasing magical moments you lot have had that you'd like to share so that old Flashy doesn't feel quite so stupid...

ps. Whilst I'm really talking about magic/gig related mistakes, but please feel free to reveal anything else that you think might be funny and will cheer me up!!! :twisted:

Assumption is the mother of all c*ck-ups!

...i once slipped in some beer, which forced me into an inpromtu-splits, banging my ahem-ahems on the floor...all whilst emptying a pint of orange juice over my head...

...that was a baaaaad funeral....

he,he,he, I'm starting to feel better already...

Lol .. yes ... how does the moto go for Assumtions?

'When you Assume ... it makes an ASS out of U and ME' ... maybe somthing to quote to the agent next time you see him lol.

Everyone makes mistakes ... better to nearly turn up a day early than turning up a day lat i guess.

Thanks SR I may well quote you on that!

I think it was something to do with the date being the 14th (for some bizarre reason to me Thursday is the 4th day of the week and I think that's what hotwired my brain.. bzzzt)!

Anyway back to your embarrassing mistakes, anyone else got a story to put a smile back on Flashy's face?

When I was in the ministry I got the day of a wedding wrong. I thought it was the Saturday (in fact that is what they origionally said), but it was on the Friday. It was supposed to start at 16h30. I got a call at 17h30 asking where I was - I wasn't even at home, I was teaching drums at a music school about half an hour from where I lived and another half an hour away from the venue. I had to borrow a suit and tie - and I ended up getting horribly lost on the way to the wedding - eventually arriving at around 19h00. Fortunately for me the groom was a wine maker - the wedding was in the wine tasting section of a wine cellar and the guest were quite merry by the time I arrived..
Not magical - but on the top of the list for 'mistakes'..

My Mother is a confirmed spiritualist and we wetre sitting in the audience, I was along for the ride when the meedium turned to a lady in the audience and sid

'I'm with you my dear. Is your mother in Spiirit?'

A little voice next to the lady in question piped up 'No I'm here.......'

Cold reading anyone?
