'Breaking lots of things while juggling': 10+ Magic tricks that went hilariously wrong

Pick a card, any card… And hope your magician gets the trick right.

The trick to nailing any kind of performance is practicing over and over and over again. Practice alone, in front of a crowd, in front of your parents, or in a park. The point is to get very comfortable with your performance. That way, if something goes wrong, it's no big deal! You'll be prepared for whatever happens, and able to quickly get back on track.

U/RayComfortsBanana requested these funny and terrible stories, "Whether it was a card trick, sawing a person in half, whatever." Some of the replies came from performers, while others were from witnesses in the audience. Check them all out below!
