Doctor Who: 20 Things You Didn’t Know About A Christmas Carol
3. The Doctor Has A History Of Card Tricks
The Christmas dinner scene sees the Eleventh Doctor try (and fail) to perform a card trick. It's interesting that the Doctor is so bad at it, considering all the practice he's had over the years!
In the Fourth Doctor serial Robot, the Doctor takes the stage, does a little dance, and then successfully performs a rather unusual card trick, much to the crowd's delight.
In the Ninth Doctor's debut episode, he's just as bad as the Eleventh Doctor, spilling cards all over Rose's living room floor after attempting to shuffle the deck.
It's always fun to see the Doctor attempt these very human things, though it does make you wonder why someone with such infinite wisdom can't always pull them off!
