Table Slap

Table Slap
Needs a room

Hands crossed on the table. The slap travels round and your hand is never where you think.

Everyone puts their hands flat on the table crossed with their neighbours', and a slap travels round hand by hand. Because your hands are separated by somebody else's, your brain keeps sending the signal to the wrong one, and the room falls apart laughing at itself.
