I keep randomly doing searches for patter and distractions, but Failed a Spot Check always seems to fit best.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
In one episode of the show, where other stage magicians try and fool the old masters of Penn and Teller, one guy did an appearing from behind a screen trick with a story of getting rich. See here. Well, at the end, Penn and Teller admit that they got so engrossed in the story and the humor of it, they missed a key part of the act.
Question: What distraction trope would be best for this? Failed a Spot Check?
