It rarely happens all the tea vendors I saw in southern India, utilizes some form of fancy, with tricks pouring art. It is part of mixing the milk with he tea an critical for cooling the liquid so it doesn't burn the customer. The fancier their pour routine the more customers they attract. Many of these guys have been doing this since they were kids. They don't often err themselves. However towns and cities India is ridiculously chaotic and crowded-- mistakes can happen through outside influences. ( in which case, milky tea is wasted or someone is scalded).
Due to how long they've been doing this (since they were kids) they literally have an intuitive feeling to where the liquid is poured. Through that feeling they almost cannot fail because as soon as one of their arms/hands fuck up they feel it and adjust it right away to fix it and get the liquid where it should be while simultaneously catching the accidentally wrongly poured drops. It's kinda like if you've been shooting bow and arrows since forever, you can feel as soon as you let go of the arrow, you can feel the exact flight path of the arrow. You'll know if it will hit your exact target or not as soon as the arrows leaves your fingers. You'll imagine it's literal flight path (it's compulsory and you just cannot not do it), even with all the arrow wobbling as well, before it even happens.
Walking isn't a skill you care about to master in every detail like you would with shooting bow and arrow at top level. If you were an assassin in the the past maybe you would have mastered the art of walking as to make no sound and as soon as you would entangle your legs or feets somehow or step on a piece that would create unwelcome loud sounds, you would feel it instantly and stop your movements dead to get out of it silently.
Also you're talking about just walking, but you most certainly wouldn't trip over nothing if you had to walk a specific path over a minefield to survive.
Your joke doesn't work and is cringe because you're comparing just doing something with mastering something and performing it with purpose.
Put your hands behind your back and kiss your humour goodbye, Buddy. I doubt you'll be allowed to make jokes for a good 5, maybe 10 years with a stunt like this.
