I learned this the hard way too. Now I fire off each cue into a test tube before the real show. Takes a while but beats the panic of a silent finale. Also I stopped trusting the little status lights on my used gear, one of them said it armed but didn’t actually fire. Bench test is non-negotiable for me.
