The impossible trick

Last night I performed the impossible. When I say impossible, I really mean improbable. If it truly was impossible, then I wouldn’t have been able to do it, would !? On board the lovely ship, P&O Aurora, the stage is built up of a few panelled sections, so that the orchestra pit can be accessed beneath the stage. This means that there are small gaps between the different panels on the stage, that are no bigger than 5mm wide.

The width of these gaps are very important for me to mention, as what happened next seems even improbable-er! I have a section in my show where I throw a ring out with some back spin so that it lands on the floor and rolls back to me. This didn’t happen yesterday. Instead, as if in a puff of smoke, it vanished beneath the stage. Video for proof:

Because of where the ring landed under the stage, it didn’t go into the orchestra pit, and instead slid it’s slippery self into an unattainable area, and cannot be retrieved! So for as long as the P&O Aurora exists, there will forever be one of my juggling rings lodged under the stage, sailing the seven seas.
This is a trick that is unlikely to happen again, and near impossible to replicate. But that being said, the same thing happened in the second show that evening, so make of that what you will.
