Because you were excited, you performed the trick too quickly? Or you gave something away before the trick? Or did the excitement make you forget something important? | ||

Did your trick get ruined because your audience was excited? Did someone from the audience do something to ruin your trick? Is it relevant where you were? And how many people were watching? | ||

The person from the audience who ruined your trick = A Is A human? adult? male? Was A the one who was excited? Did A know the trick before-hand? Did A tell people the secret of the trick? Did A point? jump? Or do something with his body? Or did he say something that ruined your trick? Your trick got ruined purely because of someone being excited, or as a consequence of that? | ||

So when A was helping you out with your trick, something in the room excited him, and his excitement ruined your trick. Right upto here? The thing that got A excited, is it a person? Many people? An animal? An object? A gas? Or some chemical? When A got excited, did he move? And did this movement spoil your trick? Or did he forget something he had to do? Did he make a sound? And you forgot this one last time :Your trick got ruined purely because of A being excited, or as a consequence of that? | ||

Was there a relevant 'symptom' of being excited that caused the blooper? If so, any of these?: Sweaty hands Jittery fingers / Unsteady grip Stuttering / Stammering Increased / Decreased body temperature If someone more calm had volunteered instead, would the trick have worked? Did you need the volunteer to look scared or serious instead of excited? | ||

In retrospect, what I described was more nervousness than excitement... but I'll wait for your answers. | ||

Was there a relevant 'symptom' of being excited that caused the blooper? You're on the right track. If so, any of these?: Sweaty hands Jittery fingers / Unsteady grip Stuttering / Stammering Increased / Decreased body temperature Close. Not exactly, but close. If someone more calm had volunteered instead, would the trick have worked? Yes, most likely. Did you need the volunteer to look scared or serious instead of excited? NO. In retrospect, what I described was more nervousness than excitement... but I'll wait for your answers. One was close, but hey. | ||

Did A start blushing? Pee his pants? Got a heart attack? Was the fact that he was on stage making him so excited? Was the audience clapping? Is it relevant how big the audience is? Or where the performance is taking place? Is it important what A was supposed to hold? Did he drop that object? | ||

Did A start blushing? Pee his pants? Got a heart attack? None of these. Was the fact that he was on stage making him so excited? YES. Was the audience clapping? Is it relevant how big the audience is? Or where the performance is taking place? No. However, a big audience would get him excited... Is it important what A was supposed to hold? No, but it IS relevant why... Did he drop that object? No. | ||

is there any significant difference between nervousness and excitement for this siutation? There may have been a mix up here. A was excited, however, one of the attributes of nervousness was close to, and would do the same job as, excitedness. was there a specific physical attribute of the excited one that ruined the trick? Rephrase? sweat? hyperactivity? hypersensitivity? increased heart rate? THIS ONE. increased breathing? dialated pupils? delerium? dry mouth? | ||

I remember a science experiment where you could measure the pulse of a person by placing a thumbtack on a rubber band on their upturned wrist or something like that... Did the joke depend on the person's heart / pulse rate being normal? Or was the failure an indirect result of this individual's tachycardia? A morbid possibility is that the volunteer was not very healthy (old / heart patient) and had a heart attack while assisting you... :'( | ||

The magic trick was dependent on heart rate? pulse? blood pressure? are there any props in the trick that display heart rate? calculate heart rate? could any person have ruined the trick? or is there something about that one individual? | ||

The magic trick was dependent on heart rate? pulse? blood pressure? All of these, but not in the way you'd expect. are there any props in the trick that display heart rate? calculate heart rate? No. could any person have ruined the trick? or is there something about that one individual? As long as they were excited. | ||

I'd rather you post a recap and/or a hint.. is it a known magic trick from classic magician routines? is it relevant which trick? would knowing which trick reveal how it was ruined? did the cardiovascular symptoms lead to other relevant physical symptoms? | ||

I'd rather you post a recap and/or a hint.. Ok, look down the post. is it a known magic trick from classic magician routines? No. However, it's a well known trick, and many variations have been made. is it relevant which trick? Yes. would knowing which trick reveal how it was ruined? Yes, and you can figure out the trick due to why it was ruined. did the cardiovascular symptoms lead to other relevant physical symptoms? Rephrase a little, can't answer in it's current state. Is a lie-detector or any such similar instrument relevant? No. RECAP. 1. A member of the audience, a volunteer, ruined the trick because he was excited. 2. The audience made him excited. 3. One of the attributes given to excitedness ruined the trick, to be more precise raised blood pressure. 4. It is a particular trick that depends on the blood pressure being normal. HINT: IT IS A COIN TRICK, AND THE VOLUNTEER DID NOT KNOW HE WAS RUINING IT. | ||

Is the trick the one where you get a volunteer to hold a coin up to his head while your back is turned, then you can tell which hand it was in because the blood has drained out leaving it paler? But his raised blood pressure meant this dodn't work? | ||

I learnt that trick from a movie...never tried it, though I've been informed it really does work. Is this a real life event, or did you get the idea from the same place I did (I'd never heard of it before)? Great puzzle! | ||

Sorry. SPOILER By the way, It's in all of my 5 magic trick books, so I thought it was pretty common. |
