How have you guys made up for a mistake in a card trick in the past? Like if you flashed something how did you improvise to work your way out of it? For me, I was doing that ace trick where they deal out as many cards as they want, deal those into four piles and the aces are on top. anyways the guy was supposed to deal one at a time from the top, he started dealing four at a time! but i realized he only had four cards in each pile, so once he had finished i used the magicians choice to get him to choose the pile with the aces. most of the time i would just move on to a different trick, but that was just too perfect.
