I had an audition and performance for a percussion regionals, and one of my friends noticed I was a nervous wreck while I was waiting to be called up. He's a magician on the side, so he spent almost ten minutes making me laugh and keeping me distracted until it was my turn. Then he waited outside the room until I was done. I played better than I had in my life thanks to him. Amazing what you can do with a little pretzel and some paper clips.
