A German word for:“It only works when I try to show you how it does not work”?
That translation is wrong. It’s almost the opposite.<p>Vorführeffekt is when you are trying to show something works (for example to an audience/in a presentation) and it does NOT work in said presentation.<p>Remember this oldie but goldie for USB Plug and Play on Windows?

(Trying to show a bug you found in a meeting/to an audience but then it turns out it actually behaves unexpectedly as originally intended. No bug.)
