Jackson's Law

Share definition
Similar to Murphy's Law, Jackson's Law states that the likelihood of any action being awesome is inversely proportional to the number of people observing.

By this law, any cool or hard to repeat action will be seen by few to no observers, while the most embarrassing will be seen by a crowd.
Andrew: Today I hit a pothole on my bike.
Will: Are you okay?
Andrew: Yeah - I flew off my bike, did a perfect combat roll, and came up running - not a scratch. But nobody saw it!
Will: Ouch. Jackson's Law is a bitch, man.
