I flubbed the "Imp bottle" trick and gave the trick to the kid. This is the trick where the bottle shouldn't lay down for anyone but me-it keeps popping upright because the bottom is weighted. a metal rod inserted in the bottle allows me to do it, but the rod kept sliding out on me. This trick only cost a buck or two so when a kid caught me, I just gave it to her.
Another time, I used the wrong deck of cards. I thought the kid had the 7 of diamonds. I had a 3 1/2 of diamonds in my pocket (7 divided by 2). When I told the kid to divide his card by two, he said 5 of spades! oops! I just grabbed the correct deck and started over.
