Assuming they rehearsed the bit earlier in the afternoon, I sort of

Things don't always go as you'd like. I remember, from the LN days, a
juggler, who said that, in order to stand out, you had to have a gimmick.
His gimmick was juggling the basic food groups. We missed the moment of
impact when he did a head bounce with a big wad of butter.
