Over christmas I was a bit drunk at a friends and she asked me to do a few card tricks for her and her visitors. (OK, I was very drunk!)
Well I haven't done much magic for over a year so I was drunkenly trying to remember how to do even simple tricks like the Biddle trick. Anyway I mucked it up a few times forgetting a certain move (I told you I was drunk!) Feeling a bit frustrated inside I went for a different way of turing the card round in the deck but fluffed that too turning more than one card!!
Sod it, I thought. I did the ribbon spread and by PURE CHANCE all the cards revealed were the ones I had individually got her to pick when I'd fluffed the trick!!!
What are the odds on that!! Where there should have been egg on my face I came out smelling of roses and it looked like I'd been getting it wrong on purpose!!!
