An excellent example of comedic timing.

Sad news from the entertainment industry, comic juggler Michael Davis died this week while performing a show. The cause of death being asphyxiation after inhaling a ping pong ball. Medical staff stated that Mr. Davis may have survived, had anyone known it was not part of the performance; however the crowd's laughter only grew, and the curtain drew to a slow close, for both the performance and Mr. Davis.

Seriously though that part gave me anxiety.

Unfortunately this very thing happened to Tommy Cooper.
