The Masked Magician makes a schoolboy error.

I did a lol

Oh dear - you could see the aces being dealt to the bottom of the last packet ----- oops

I love this so much

Much love

What a complete idiot! one of the simplest tricks and he screws it up!

I feel better about myself after that

Not sure if this follow-up question will provoke interest or exasperation but; if it were you, how would you reframe what had happened there, and try to save face? Or, mask, in this circumstance.

The Masked Moron just picks up every packet until he finds the Aces, but admittedly on a TV show in front of cameras, lights, and potentially thousands of people, it might be a little harder to think on your feet. He could quite simply have asked the participant to take any one of the top cards from the packets and then just done an ACR, claiming the cuts were to make sure the selection was fair. Any more?

I would have run away, it's the best thing to do if it goes wrong....but then again i do like comedy presentations whereby i make it look like i have fluffed the trick and then all comes right in the end

And they all lived happily ever after!

Much love
