It's always helpful to see how a performer deals with a mishap, unexpected event or problem on the fly. There have been several lectures I've purchased with examples, thought I'd share and see what others are out there.

-Jan Forster Live Act (I didn't even notice something was amiss during the first viewing)
-Robert Temple lecture
-Max Maven Lecture (book test)
-Max Maven Live Act
-Phill Smith lecture

Yes, that’s life … … and as the show itself is really live and recorded only once you have to proceed … and you get additional and good stuff to talk about for the following explanation or lecture part… Jan

Thank you Jan, agree completely- I got a lot out of the Live Act(and both lectures too).

-Jon

Richard Osterlind and Bob Cassidy Live. Bob Cassidy thought on his feet and nobody knew there was a mishap until he explained it after the effect. He fixed it as he went. Great example of what to do. Richard Osterlind not so much, he made a mistake, so he stopped and and started the effect over. Example of what not to do.

Yes forgot about that, that was a great lecture. Another one that comes to mind is Joshua Quinn's during a book test.

As much as I love Max Maven I feel he was unprepared in both of his Penguin live events. He is a master no doubt about it maybe that's why he felt no need to prepare, same thing with Bob Cassidy (both solo and the one with Richard Osterlind)

But it's fun to watch them winging it sometimes and there's something to learn there.
