Speaker 1: Man, it's good time you here. Last time would have

10
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: been when was your last too down? I think winter.

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm always here in winter.

12
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 3: I don't know why, oh mate, it's I mean, you

13
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: would have loved this place in the summer. But I

14
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: remember last time you were in the studio here with us.

15
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: When I watch what you do and I see your shows,

16
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: I think to myself, you can't help but be drawn

17
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 3: to the appeal of not being able to work it out.

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 1: Do you know what I mean?

19
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: It's almost like a bit car crashy in that you

20
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: will turn your head because what you're seeing is not

21
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 3: something you see every day and you can't make sense

22
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: of it.

23
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 4: That was a good description in my career as a.

24
00:00:58,480 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Tom's career.

25
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 5: To me, Scott, you're a successory actually, so Scott, can

26
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 5: I ask you how did it at all start? Because

27
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 5: I read somewhere that your grandfather showed you a magic

28
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 5: trick when you were very very young, and that just

29
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 5: it was a light globe moment for you.

30
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: Yep, that really was it.

31
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: He made me say my name and a little coin

32
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 4: he passed his hand over it it vanished. He pointed

33
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: to the mantlepiece and his his home in Scotland. I

34
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 4: ran over to it and inside a matchbox was my

35
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 4: same coin.

36
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: It was crazy, you know how he did that?

37
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 4: Now, well, he told me the secret and it was

38
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 4: deeply disappointing after that, but it was something like kind

39
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 4: of amazing about that.

40
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: That was but as entertaining for a kid like you.

41
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 3: Taught me the one where you rub the coin into

42
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 3: your elbow and then you pretend that you've stuffed it

43
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 3: up and you pick it up with the other hand

44
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 3: and the coins don't give why that's annoying.

45
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: That was the trick I was going to show you what. Well,

46
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: nice to see you guys.

47
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: Can we do something here, Scottie, because I want is

48
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 3: there something we can do that's going to work here

49
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: in the studio that's also interesting for the listener to

50
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: be able to experience as well.

51
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: Yes, let's try something. Okay, you probably noticed a little

52
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: box in front of if you hear you do, what

53
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: is that? Very simple and mysterious. Do you want to

54
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: open that box? Give it a shake first of all? Okay,

55
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: you can if any of the listeners can guess what's in, say,

56
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: a little wooden box, three dice. Yeah, it's a real

57
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: anti climax, isn't it. Scott, Thanks for coming in listen.

58
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: I was going to do the coin and elbow trick.

59
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 3: So we're going to white dice, and we've got a

60
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: blue dice and.

61
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 4: A red dice, so really simple. In a moment, I'm

62
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 4: going to turn away. You're going to take a single day.

63
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: So for that box, you have the blue, white, or rat.

64
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 4: You're going to then find your favorite number on that die.

65
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 4: As soon as you find your favorite number, you put

66
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 4: that die on the table with your number of points

67
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: towards the ceiling.

68
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: But I've got a little cup here.

69
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: You'll put the cup on top so there's no way

70
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 4: that I can see al turn away, okay, and I'm

71
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: not going to look into the glass.

72
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: So you want me to choose one dice out of

73
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: the box. One die at the box has got one

74
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: number on it. Okay, and number is underneath the cup. Yeah,

75
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: yeah it is. And you're focused on that number right now? Yeah,

76
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: I am skry.

77
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 4: Okay, We're gonna start really simply, so you're just going

78
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: to focus on the color of that die.

79
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: Question number one? Are you more of a morning person

80
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: or evening person?

81
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 3: Oh?

82
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: God, probably evening. That's quite surprising, isn't it.

83
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 3: Yeah?

84
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: Okay. Second question at school, did you have a nicknaming?

85
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't whipper. That wasn't whipping.

86
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, the sea gorilla, very hairy guy. And

87
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 3: every time I'd come out of the water at the beach,

88
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 3: I already comes the gorilla.

89
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: Okay. Last question.

90
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: If I was to meet you after the show at

91
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 4: the opera is and you come up to me, you said, Scott,

92
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: most amazing thing I've seen at the opera house. I

93
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: want to buy you a drink. Yeah, And I said,

94
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 4: that's really kind of you. Let me buy you a drink.

95
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 4: What drink would I buy you?

96
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: I'll probably have a beer or an apperol sprits.

97
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Spirits said, just lets me know. The color of the

98
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: die was a red dye that you picked? Yes, it was?

99
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: It was a red die. Okay, applele splits the color

100
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: of red. And now you're just going to count from

101
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: one to six out loud.

102
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: No, one, two, three, four, five, six, A.

103
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 4: Slight change, moving your ronds on the box. So it's

104
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 4: either three or two. Is it number two that you

105
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 4: were focused on?

106
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 3: Yes, it was.

107
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: It was number two. Now, look, that's a really really

108
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 4: simple thing. It's a number between one and six. So

109
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 4: let's take it one step further. Yeah, if I asked

110
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 4: you to focus on a number that's really important in

111
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 4: your life, a number that no one would know, nothing

112
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: to do with, nothing to do with the dice bank

113
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 4: pin number, Yeah, you focus on that years.

114
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: It's got to go through all four.

115
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 4: If you can, you could imagine typing the digits off

116
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 4: that bank pin number onto a calculator and seeing it

117
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: in front of your So I'm going to get you

118
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,280

119
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 4: bank pin number right now.

120
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:01,640

Speaker 1: a number in the middle of it? Yeah?

122
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, I'm not going to guess this full number,

123
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 4: but you do focus on the first number right now.

124
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that a two? It could be Okay, I'm

Speaker 1: not going to reveal this number live on air.

126

Speaker 4: in people's heads and see their back pen numbers, or
