11
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on. Everyone. Okay, So here's how

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: this happened last week. Uh on the on the show.

13
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: On the radio show, uh, Straight, Nate says we should

14
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: have a magician on us. Well, why would we have

15
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: a magician on the radio. We would just tell people

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: what he did? Does it make sense? I think it'd

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: be great to hear our reactions, right, like, oh my god,

18
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: that's what I completely agree. Plus, there is a world

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 1: in the future we could do something where we haven't.

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: We have people call in and their decisions on the

21
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: phone line actually make something happen in real time. So

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: that's cool. That's a real thing that we death like

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: it'll be the craziest radio segment that happens that year. Well,

24
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: I can't promise that with you, it will be something

25
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: very special. We want to do that anyway, So we

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: we thought the fifteen minute Morning Shop podcast is the

27
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: perfect place. So so we've met John before a backstage.

28
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: You've been to some of our events. We saw you

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: at a couple of wine dinners. Magician. You're a magician.

30
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: Why have you decided to be a magician? Oh? I

31
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: decided to be a magician. I got a magic kit

32
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: for my eighth birthday and fast forward eighteen years, here

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: we are. That's really fell in love with it. It's

34
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: just such a mysterious thing. And you know, there's something

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: so interesting about being able to give people something that

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: they don't fully understand how it works, especially today when

37
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: you have all the answers to everything on your own.

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: There's something really special about that. But you know, there

39
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: is one thing I'm gonna say right off the top.

40
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: Before I came here, Scotty Be said to me, and Scotty,

41
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: thank you for making this whole thing happen. He goes,

42
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: if you don't hook them within the first minute, you

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: can't be on And I was like, you know, I

44
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: took that literally. I took it to heart. So I'm

45
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: just gonna jump right into something so that everybody kind

46
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: of understands what I do and who I am. So

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: we're ready. Here, We've got five strings. Okay, they don't

48
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: seem too important, but they're going to in a moment.

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna create an order. And when we do this,

50
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pick four people. You're gonna pick a number.

51
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: These are numbered one through five. When you decide on

52
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: your number, that's it. That is the number we go with.

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: There's no change in your mind. And the thing I

54
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: will say that's important is if your number got taken

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,119
Speaker 1: when somebody went before you, then you have to change

56
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: your number. The rule is, once we start this, we

57
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: have to finish. And now Scotty told me within the

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: first minute, I had to hook you. So I've took

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: it literally because right here we have a fish hook

60
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: and I'm actually you can see this. This is a

61
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: real fish hook. And you know what I've done is

62
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: one of these strings is tied to this fish hook

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: and you know, he told me to hook you, but

64
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna hook me. You guys are gonna

65
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: create the order. I'm gonna ask you to open your mics.

66
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: You have to pick a number. We're gonna pick all

67
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: these strings out. Only one is tied. Let the game begin.

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: What what are you eating it? What are you doing?

69
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: All right? There? Well? The number one and five? Five? Five?

70
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: Don't do that? No, no, no, what are you doing? No? Five? Five? Ye?

71
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: The potential here, scary, scary brat lee one? Who? Three

72
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: and four? The number three? Oh god? Really free? Here

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: we go free, I'm nervous. One who free? Bet we've

74
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: got who? Four and one? One? Oh god? One one.

75
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: This is more than a minute. Last one is up

76
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: to you? Four and who too? With one too? Two? Four?

77
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely sure. I feel pretty good about two, oh god,

78
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: Oh yes, you can't be saved. Number was four, Thank you,

79
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: the only safe number time, everybody, Thank you so much.

80
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Not something I want to start my morning with. But

81
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: you know I had to. Literally I was going to

82
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: pick number four. Alright, good, okay, A tragedy averted, Thank god,

83
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: thank god. How many times did you go wrong with that?

84
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: When you were practicing I'll be honest. I did it

85
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: once where I was like, something went wrong and I

86
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 1: was like, oh God, and I like ran into the

87
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: bathroom and I was fine, but I was like in

88
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: the practical process, I was like, definitely, I was not

89
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: like prepared. It scared the app out of me. I

90
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 1: honestly thought. I was like, I'm never gonna do this again.

91
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: And then Scotty had to say, he goes, you got

92
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: to hook them, and I go, yeah, what I have

93
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: to do? We love magic, and who doesn't love magic?

94
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: But I get really piste off at people who try

95
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: to figure out the magic. I just it's like, why

96
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: are you doing? Just let the magic be magic? Can't

97
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: why can't we just make gotta know because like, for example,

98
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: like when I when I see like you guy gives

99
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: you a card and then he takes the card and

100
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: the next thing you know, it's in his back pocket

101
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: and it's on the other side of the room. I

102
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: have to know how that ship happens. Like it's not

103
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: really like how does know? No, there has to be

104
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: an explanment. So I think the best way to look

105
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: at it, Froggy is the way that at least I

106
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: look at it is I've never once watched Transformers the

107
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: movie and been like, I wonder what the guy looked

108
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: like when he was coding the big changing to sect.

109
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: I just want to see the big guy do the

110
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: crazy thing in the bumble bee transform right, Like if

111
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: when you know the secret, you're like, really, that's that's it.

112
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: It's so boring. It's some guy behind the computer that

113
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: is seeing that ends spectacul How does the guy sell

114
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: a woman in half? Like? How does that happen? What's

115
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: the trick? When you see the woman lays down in

116
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: the the whatever the box and then he takes these

117
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: knives and stabs a hundred of him in the box

118
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: and she gets out of a single wound. Let's just

119
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: let's assume that he actually saw her in a half.

120
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: Leave it at that practice today, Okay. Is there is

121
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: there a code among magicians or illusionists? I don't know

122
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: what you prefer. Where if you told us the secret

123
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: to that that frog you just asked you that you

124
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: would get in trouble and like kicked out and blacklisted.

125
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: I heard there was there is a higher not like

126
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: a hierarchy. There's like a small code amongst magicians that

127
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: we try our best to keep our secrets. And the

128
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: real reason why we do this is because when you

129
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: reveal the secret of a trick, it no longer is magical, right,

130
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: And once you reveal it, I mean it, most of

131
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: the time, it's gonna like be so sad that you're

132
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: gonna be like that with it, and you know what,

133
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: you know what, So I prepared I prepared one to

134
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: actually teach you, guys, and to exactly show how boring

135
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: it is when you learn the magic trick. I'm gonna

136
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: break the code frogg. He's gonna be happy because I've

137
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: been doing this virtual interactive show on Zoom just kind

138
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: of like this because doing magic tricks I used to

139
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: do in person, and I've had to figure out ways

140
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: to show things through the screen. So the way I

141
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: came up with it was, I was like, if I

142
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: teach somebody how a magic trick works during my show,

143
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: then they'll be like, Okay, I get how hard this was,

144
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 1: and maybe they'll give me a little more credit. So

145
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: this is a trick. I'm gonna show you how it works.

146
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: I do this in my show, and I'm telling you

147
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: the ending is gonna be disappointed. But when I reveal

148
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: it we're gon we're gonna do with the red silk,

149
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: and this is what's gonna happen. I'm gonna take the

150
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: silk and I'm gonna place it into my fist, into

151
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: my fist, here nothing in my hand. You can see

152
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: it's going into the fist. And here's the idea. If

153
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: I just snap, that silk is gonna change into an egg,

154
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: and then in my pocket reappeared. I don't want to know.

155
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: I don't want to no, no, no, no no. Put

156
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: I put this. I put this into the virtual show

157
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 1: because I wanted people to understand because now that you've

158
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: seen it, you're like, that was awesome. And when I

159
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: revealed this, all of you are gonna be like, really

160
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: that sucks. Here we go, We're ready, okay, so we

161
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: have the silk here and put it back in my

162
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: pocket and this beautiful egg. Actually, if I turn it around,

163
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: you'll see a cecarette exactually hollowed out egg. Then I

164
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: stuffed the silk in too, so it's trusting. So when

165
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: I come out, I have this like terrible awkward like

166
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pretend my fist looks this ugly normally instead

167
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: of I like trying to play it off, and I

168
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: do this weird little handkerchief dance and then I starts stuffing.

169
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: Then when I'm stuffing, I'm fine, right, all that's happening

170
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: is this is going into the fake egg and then

171
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: all I have to do is the little magician's gesture

172
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: and then I take the one that's in my pocket

173
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: out and the trick's done. But because you have the

174
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: second egg, it's like it makes it so easy, you

175
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Because you have this second hand,

176
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: it's just chilling here. Don't tell us anymore. I don't

177
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: ye see. It ruins it, it ruins itself. So as

178
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: I was mentioning, I do this, uh, this virtual show,

179
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: I call it the moment. It's because the moment you

180
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: learn about a magic trick, the secrets ruined, the beauty,

181
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: the mystery, the thing that you loved. It's gone. Now,

182
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: like I can't, I can't get this back to you

183
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: because now you're like, there's fake eggs. So I wanted

184
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: to think of a trick that then we could go

185
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: back in time with. So you guys just saw this

186
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 1: whole thing happened. So what if I told you I

187
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: could erase that memory from you and what if I

188
00:10:53,200 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: told we're now a real good it's a real egg,

189
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: and that would sound and the whole now telling you

190
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: come on watching the whole time I was watching you.

191
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: The whole time I was watching to see everything more

192
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: and more and more more. That's a whole fun of it,

193
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: you know, because when you do something like this, you

194
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 1: never expect, like an egg to then be cracked like

195
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: that's the fun of magic. People always miss that, so

196
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, it's just it's so I feel so I

197
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: feel so special to be here with all of you,

198
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: by the way, because I've listened for so long, like

199
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: my whole child that I grew up in New Jersey.

200
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: So it's a real honor to get to perform some

201
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: of my magic for all of you. How much is

202
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: how much of of of magicians work, not just yours,

203
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: but magicians in general. How much of it is slight

204
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: of hand? Is you getting our attention with one hand

205
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: while doing something with the other hand. So a lot

206
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: of the slight of hand stuff. I mean, I do

207
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: lots of slight of and but specifically in this new

208
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: zoom generation it's like it's like a sleight of hand.

209
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,559
Speaker 1: Traditionally I'm in front of you. So I'm doing very

210
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: deceptive things. I do have incredible decksteries, specifically with the

211
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: deck of cards, which I can show you guys. But

212
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's like right now, the like the typical

213
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: way magicians performance out the window because we can't deal

214
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: with people. So I've had to just reinvent everything to

215
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: be like what can play for an audience through a

216
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: screen like this. So to answer your question, traditionally I

217
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: would use a lot of slight of hand. Now I'm like,

218
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: now it's it's up in the air. Who knows, Maybe

219
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: it's just magic. John. So you backstage a lot for

220
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: a lot of our shows, and like here here you

221
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: are with Ava Max. Yes, I have been making a

222
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: dollar tune into a hundred dollar bill. Like what what

223
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: artists have you? Like? Have they just been like, oh

224
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: my god, like totally shocked and you're like, they're they're

225
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: watching me as opposed to me watching watching them. So

226
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: I've got so many I feel so fortunate. I have

227
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: so many cool stories with artists, and I think the

228
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: two that stand the most, and they're very diverse, is

229
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: I I performed on a stage in a nightclub with

230
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: Machine Gun Kelly and I was doing magic for him

231
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: in the v I P section, and then I did

232
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: something for him. His his whole thing is the double

233
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: X Mob, and I made the double X Mob appear

234
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: on his hand and he literally ran out of the

235
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 1: V I P ran past his bouncers, was freaking out.

236
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: And then he came back up on stage or he

237
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: came back to his like section and he was like, yo, dude,

238
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: like that was the craziest thing I've ever seen. Yeah,

239
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: it was, honestly, it was insane. And then another urist

240
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: who's really, uh, particularly kind was John bon Jovi, So

241
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: I performed. I actually performed for him at an event,

242
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: and then he actually invited me to perform for his charity.

243
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: So at the end of it, he said such kind

244
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: words about my actual performance. So here, yeah, there's a

245
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: there's a little video of it. Yeah, perfect, I love it.

246
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: You know. Actually, Okay, can I tell you guys something

247
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: that's like one of my favorite things that ever happened.

248
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: So whatever, you guys, hear me, because it's started that

249
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: I think that's brody. Well, okay, I'm about to take

250
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: a hostage. We meet everybody. It's brody because every time

251
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: it goes to your screen. That means your yeah, it

252
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 1: does does he right out? All right? Here we go. Okay,

253
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: it sounds like you're farting. Just just is much more

254
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: than oka. That's good. That's good, all right, go ahead.

255
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: So no, so I'll never forget this. You know, when

256
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: I was first working on magic tricks, I would always

257
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: do it for my mom. And my mom has been like,

258
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: uh like one of the most influential characters in my

259
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: entire life, obviously being my mother, but the reason why

260
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: I call her a character is because my mom says

261
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 1: and does some of the most unusual things that any

262
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: mom would do. And I never forget I did a

263
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: trip for her when I was a kid, uh And

264
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: I actually I think I used like one of these

265
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: style styro foam cups and I was like, Mom, I'm

266
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna do something amazing, like like, let's say I did

267
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: the egg trip. And then I was like, so I

268
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: cracked the egg in and I gave it to her,

269
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Mom, it will be the most amazing

270
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: thing in the world. And I'm like an eight year old,

271
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: and my Mom's like, if you can make this cup

272
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: de materialized from my hands right now, that'd be the

273
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: best thing I've ever seen, And I'm like, Mom, She's like, oh,

274
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: I mean make the egg guts disappear from inside, sorry, honey,

275
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 1: Like she just went for it, you know. So I've

276
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: always tried to like figure out how could we like

277
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: salvage those situations. And you know this little bit you

278
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: guys saw we cracked the egg. We do the whole thing.

279
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: This little thing is just for my mom because when

280
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: she told me to make that that cup de materialized,

281
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: I think it would have looked like this. So the egg,

282
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: the e everything, it's completely gone. That cup that has

283
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: been here the entire time has never been a real cup.

284
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: Everything that you've seen has just been a complete illusion.

285
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: Where is this magic store? I want to go buy things? Now?

286
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: Traditionally what I do imagine, right, I would have somebody

287
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: pick a card, we do something, We would do something

288
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: very intense and I would make you select a card

289
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: and this will kind of show off the dexterity and

290
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: skill I have with a pack of cards. Right. But

291
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: the thing is as a as Broggy mentioned earlier, was

292
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 1: it was like does this stuff all happen with slide

293
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: of hand? And the thing is I've had to get

294
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: rid of slight of hand because now I'm in the

295
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: zoom world. So we're gonna put the deck away, no deck,

296
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna leave my hands in frame the entire time,

297
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: and we're gonna try to do a trick without slide

298
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: of hand, which sounds impossible. So we're gonna do this.

299
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: So uh, gandhi, I'm gonna have a favor. So in

300
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: a deck of cards, I want, We're gonna create a

301
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: engineer deck of cards, so readier we have it. It's

302
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: based up and there's one card turned face down. We're

303
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: gonna square that into the center. Okay, okay, shuffle it up.

304
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: We're gonna put it in the box and throw it,

305
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: throw it to the back, get rid of it. Now,

306
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. In a deck of cards.

307
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: There are face cards and number cards. Pick which we

308
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: take out. So just say face or number, we'll take

309
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: it out. Take out numbers. Take out numbers. Okay. So

310
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 1: that's through three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

311
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: So then I'm gonna go over to We'll go over

00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: I love it. I love the enthusiasm. And now and

316
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: now we'll hop over to Garrett. Garrett. So in the

317
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: deck of cards there are red cards and black cards. Garrett,

318
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: I want you to choose red or black. Black. Black.

319
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: And now we're gonna go up to Danielle for the finale.

320
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: So out of the two blacks, we have spades and clubs. Danielle,

321
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: what suit would you like? Spade? Spades? So if we

322
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: did this correctly, we we got rid of the face cards,

323
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: and then we went through all the numbers, and then

324
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: we we picked the four and then black and then spades,

325
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: the four spades? Was that fairy? Here's my hands left

326
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: this frame. Remember at the beginning, I said, I imagine

327
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: a face up deck of cards. One card turned face down,

328
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: shuffled up, putting the box and thrown onto my back,

329
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: right into the back. Here's the thing. It's one thing

330
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: I didn't tell all of you before I started this.

331
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: I was so convicted this moment would happen. I actually

332
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: clicked something to my back and it's actually a deck

333
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: of cards. It's been here the entire time. It's been

334
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: very uncomfortable to sit with. But what I want you

335
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: to see here is one card, and only one card

336
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: is reversed in the center. Only one, no other one.

337
00:18:47,480 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, the four let's car I gotta

338
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: know how you do that? I got I'm gonna I'm

339
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and ruin. I'm gonna ruin your day.

340
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: Put the card down and put your hands in the

341
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: frame frame like you're showing us earlier. You see those

342
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: are not his hands. There's someone down there, isn't it

343
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: the floor? I'll do it. I'll pull it all the

344
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 1: way here. Hold on the floor is literally covered in

345
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: all that paper, but there's no one down there, so

346
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 1: that we can confirm. I think it's fair to show.

347
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: But great solution. I love the well I would. I

348
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: love the idea that I do no magic. I just

349
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 1: sit here in someone's hands and come up down here

350
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: like that. That that that could be magic. Honestly, honestly,

351
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: I think I gotta start working on that act because that,

352
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: like that really seems like it'll go hard. How that was?

353
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: Do you think I have a smile on my face?

354
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: I have someone someone been down there. That's excellent. I

355
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: love that. How are you doing? Frog? We're over, but

356
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: that was amazing. Give out your your vital so everyone

357
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: can look you up and follow you and stuff. Everyone. So,
