Put the item on blink. Close your eyes. Do something else.
When you observe it, will be be dead or alive?
Not on the whole that bad an analogy. Unless like me you believe in Everett in which case you have to observe both dead and alive, and then never talk to yourself again to figure out that that is what happened. :-)
