I was performing Stigmata V.2 and got a very very Hispanic name like Visanueva or something like that and didn't pronounce it properly.

I was doing Indecent (to prevent exposure, I'll just explain it like this: ) it worked for like 5 seconds but failed and everyone could see how it was done. =(

I was doing this prediction card trick where the last prediction card I turn over is there signed card. I had dropped a card while doing the overhand shuffle control (Massive jetlag, we had just gotten to London about 4 hours ago), and I put it randomly back it the deck, but I saw it was the 10 of diamonds. When I did the final reveal they were like "that's not our card." So I asked what was there card. Low and behold, the 10 of diamonds.

My worst Screw Up... Where to begin... Uh...

The worst one I can think of is when I was doing a card control and the wind caught their card and hit them in the eye.

Doing a little psych routine, The lady asked me to tell her some more stuff about her... i started the (cold) reading and she goes

"No, no, not like that, be specific. I don't want a cold reading!"

Haha, she knew what a cold reading was, but that didn't scupper her belief in the psychic ability... there's no accounting for humans!

I was doing stigmata v2. Lets just say she didn't write a certain something where she was supposed to and I couldn't even begin to guess the name. I just said "okay you win I can't read your mind." She laughed but it was pretty disappointing for me.

I was performing card through window next to a building that was FOR LEASE.but it had huge windows.
Well when i sprung the cards i did it in such a way that i cracked the glass.
The spectators enjoyed it but i tried to get out of there as soon as possible.

Lol sounds like the magician on youtube, who does a card through car window effect and smashes the window and also gets the wrong card.

My worst mess- up was just recently when performing clutch, after a long and dramatic build up, I pull out a card and it was the wrong card

My worst mess up was when I performed a trick that involved shapeshifter at the end and instead of the card changing, the dl sprung out of my fingers and... well you can imagine what it looked like. Cards in the face people laughing, it sucked.

When I was 14 I had a "Super X Suspension" to levitate my assistant. It was my big closer.

One show I didn't tighten up all the bolts correctly. In the middle of the performance one of the bolts rotated and the board my assistant rested on dumped her face down onto the stage. HARD.

Because of how the illusion works I couldn't just jump down and help her, so while my assistant tried to pick herself up I had to just stand there with my hoop and perform the "floating board" trick.

Horrible.

Worse one that comes to mind at the moment....

was doing the biddle trick... "now I don't know which of these 5 cards *counts them* (... there are 6 cards?) "Um. I don't know which one of these... 6 cards is yours"

Turns out I still got it right and it looked better because I had 5 cards left over :p
