The best way to explain the "There is never any three" is by comparing it to your mother counting to three as a child.. Out of 10, how many times did she actually get to three? It was always, "Don't MAKE me get to three!" Or "I don't know what I'm gonna do if I get to three". Right? So how does that relate? Well, the actor should never be left guessing, like you were as a child. So, on stage there is never any three. Hope that helped!
I think he meant ... you already know what's going to happen before it happens ... because there is a script . You don't laugh at what happens because you expect it already . So you have to do it from the point of an actor ... when you do that .. everything flows nicely without confusion ... because you know the objective already .
I'm so intrigued by the pen example of Stanislavski acting, "On stage there s never a three." What does that mean? The instructor seems to contradict himself when he says, "there is never a three" then "the actor always knows what will happen." If there is never a three (nobody gets a chance to pick up the pen), then how does the actor know what will happen?
I personally don't see a contradiction, the three is happening in the actor's mind and of course shouldn't happen on stage, obviously because if you tell the cues to the audience by saying the three loudly, you pull the audience away from the imagination that this is spontaneous. Hence the actor does always know what will happen, his job is to pretend he doesn't
This is a great video for actors!
I've been working on a channel for acting and I love watching acting videos. Keep in touch!

Yeah I was lost by this too. And it seems more improv than acting.
