But we figured we would 0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:08.619 take another crack at it. And at the same time, 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.399 we're going to bring a little bit of. 0:01:10.740 --> 0:01:13.620 Disney magic to Disney +. 0:01:13.450 --> 0:01:16.030 Spirit finger.

We did. 0:01:38.569 --> 0:01:41.350 No, Can of Worms. Listen, Can of Worms is odd. 0:01:41.550 --> 0:01:44.570 It is. It's really weird. It's fun, but it's super fun, 0:01:44.810 --> 0:01:47.810 but super weird. It is, seriously. Yeah, huff a dumpling 0:01:47.910 --> 0:01:50.340 and watch Can of Worms. You have to.

Please welcome to Pod Meets World, our magic expert, 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:15.710 Adam Wiley. 0:02:15.730 --> 0:02:17.950 You forgot one of his most important credits. 0:02:18.070 --> 0:02:18.310 What's that? 0:02:18.330 --> 0:02:19.490 Please, please. 0:02:19.610 --> 0:02:20.130 Boy Meets World. 0:02:20.730 --> 0:02:22.090 Season three. 0:02:22.150 --> 0:02:23.470 Episode 18. 0:02:23.470 --> 0:02:25.000 Dances with sweaters. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:27.340 That is correct. I am dances. 0:02:27.860 --> 0:02:32.660 And thank you for immortalizing, whenever I like hear Boy 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.720 Meets World, I always think of you going, dances? 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:40.530 Dances? Like every single time. I brought you your dry cleaning. Dances? 0:02:40.730 --> 0:02:41.670 It was a good episode. 0:02:41.690 --> 0:02:42.829 It was a great episode. 0:02:42.910 --> 0:02:44.109 Do you remember being on the set? 0:02:44.230 --> 0:02:45.060 Oh yeah, I remember. 0:02:45.250 --> 0:02:47.760 And Vader was there and he was telling me about 0:02:47.820 --> 0:02:50.160 his dislocated pinky and was like, how much do you weigh? 0:02:50.889 --> 0:02:53.070 Here, grab, and just lifted me up like that. I 0:02:53.090 --> 0:02:58.350 was like, oh, isn't that the best? Crazy. He was incredible. 0:02:58.430 --> 0:02:59.790 Wait, weren't you in Balloon Farm, too? 0:03:00.570 --> 0:03:02.390 That is correct, yeah. Which, by the way, I wanted 0:03:02.410 --> 0:03:03.150 to talk to you about that. 0:03:03.470 --> 0:03:07.359 I didn't mention something, and I think it is supposed 0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:10.180 to be a kid's take on The Rainmaker. 0:03:11.050 --> 0:03:11.350 Okay. 0:03:11.610 --> 0:03:14.680 Is really what they were going for. That makes perfect sense. 0:03:14.780 --> 0:03:17.210 I'm confused now. Is the Rainmaker the one? 110 in 0:03:17.220 --> 0:03:20.390 the Shade, the musical version of Rainmaker. I went right to, 0:03:20.410 --> 0:03:21.330 what's the Grisham novel? 0:03:22.310 --> 0:03:24.390 It's also called The Rainmaker. 0:03:24.430 --> 0:03:26.900 The Rainmaker is a guy who comes to town and 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.140 he tries to make it rain or whatever. 0:03:29.180 --> 0:03:32.019 It's like, is he lying or is he telling the truth? 0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:34.000 Maybe that's what it was. That's exactly right. 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:37.840 Okay, well, Adam, thank you so much for joining us. 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:41.850 None of us were ever officially in a DCOM, so 0:03:41.890 --> 0:03:45.590 we appreciate you bringing this type of credibility to our show. 0:03:45.710 --> 0:03:47.890 I am happy to represent. We were all wonderful World 0:03:47.950 --> 0:03:50.470 of Disney. We're cousins, but it's not the same. 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:51.520 Yes, we all. 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:53.570 We're here now. It doesn't matter. We're all on the 0:03:53.610 --> 0:03:54.570 same platform. We're good. 0:03:54.770 --> 0:03:59.440 How did you merge from the wonderful world of Hollywood 0:03:59.460 --> 0:04:00.520 to magic? 0:04:00.860 --> 0:04:01.460 Well, um. 0:04:02.430 --> 0:04:05.790 That's a very interesting question, and it has an interesting answer. Now, 0:04:06.330 --> 0:04:09.430 the short answer that I give everybody is I needed 0:04:09.490 --> 0:04:12.430 time to kill on set, as we all do. But 0:04:12.610 --> 0:04:16.539 that's kind of not the actual story. The actual story 0:04:16.700 --> 0:04:18.980 is that I was doing a musical. I was doing 0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:20.820 Oliver when I was very little. I was about five 0:04:20.860 --> 0:04:23.940 years old. And this kid came up to me. And said, 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.310 this guy, Mr. McIntosh, is showing everyone a puzzle and 0:04:28.330 --> 0:04:30.210 you're never gonna figure it out. And I was that 0:04:30.250 --> 0:04:32.230 precocious kid who was like, I'm gonna be a performer 0:04:32.270 --> 0:04:34.790 my whole life. I'm gonna figure out the puzzle because 0:04:34.950 --> 0:04:37.589 I'm smarter than no one. So I go up there 0:04:37.810 --> 0:04:42.750 and he was doing the disappearing handkerchief. And I saw 0:04:42.790 --> 0:04:43.570 it and I was like, what? 0:04:44.150 --> 0:04:44.510 Do it again. 0:04:45.230 --> 0:04:47.270 Okay, I'm gonna figure it out, do it again. After 0:04:47.300 --> 0:04:51.039 the fourth or fifth time, he goes, Adam, This is 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:52.060 called magic. 0:04:52.660 --> 0:04:53.540 It is designed. 0:04:53.620 --> 0:04:55.980 I'm a professional magician at the Magic Castle, and I 0:04:56.020 --> 0:04:59.560 am designing. This is designed for you to not figure 0:04:59.580 --> 0:05:02.219 it out. And I was like, oh, like my mind 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.980 fell on the floor. And he showed me the trick. 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.960 He pulled me aside, and she said, this is how 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:11.380 it works, then gave it to me. Went to a 0:05:11.420 --> 0:05:13.750 magic shop the next day because if you know anything 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.220 about the prop, It was not child size. 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:17.620 Oh, I do know the prop, yes. It was not, 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.960 you could not, it was not happening. It was too obvious. 0:05:19.980 --> 0:05:21.060 It was too obvious, yes. 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:21.659 Just a child. 0:05:21.740 --> 0:05:25.870 Yeah, just ring, ring, ring, ring. Yeah, it was like 0:05:25.890 --> 0:05:26.870 a bell on my thumb. 0:05:27.110 --> 0:05:29.530 So I went ahead and went to a magic shop 0:05:29.589 --> 0:05:31.830 and got one that was a junior size, which was 0:05:31.850 --> 0:05:34.210 still too big because I have been a very, very 0:05:34.230 --> 0:05:38.010 small person my entire life. And the rest is kind 0:05:38.050 --> 0:05:41.940 of history, but as my acting career took over It 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.460 was off and on. I really didn't learn sleight of 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.779 hand until my later teens. I was doing a show 0:05:48.860 --> 0:05:52.990 in New York. I was doing Footloose. And I went 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.250 to France afterwards for my first time ever at France. 0:05:56.270 --> 0:05:58.510 I went to Nice and all these amazing places in Paris. 0:05:58.550 --> 0:06:01.390 And I left every single magic trick I owned on 0:06:01.430 --> 0:06:06.070 that airplane at 17. And I thought, Well, magic is 0:06:06.089 --> 0:06:08.469 done for me because I don't want to spend hundreds 0:06:08.510 --> 0:06:10.620 of dollars to rebuy all of those gimmicks. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.529 So goodbye, magic. It was fun while it lasted. 0:06:14.550 --> 0:06:17.099 About three years later, I did, there was a new 0:06:17.180 --> 0:06:20.500 trick that came out and it was a rising card 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.460 with any borrowed deck and I was like, that's cool 0:06:23.500 --> 0:06:25.440 because I don't need to, it's cheap and I can 0:06:25.460 --> 0:06:26.740 do it with anybody's cards. 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.680 That's for me. So I bought it and I did 0:06:28.700 --> 0:06:30.580 a trick and they were like, do you know anything else? 0:06:30.610 --> 0:06:31.230 I was like, yeah. 0:06:31.250 --> 0:06:32.830 So I did two more things that I could remember 0:06:32.890 --> 0:06:37.450 from Mark Wilson's Encyclopedia of Magic and they said, do 0:06:37.470 --> 0:06:38.030 you know anything else? 0:06:38.070 --> 0:06:38.830 And I said, no. 0:06:39.770 --> 0:06:41.870 And they said, you should really get back into this 0:06:41.930 --> 0:06:45.419 and you know what? I said, Yeah, I think I will. 0:06:45.980 --> 0:06:48.940 And I started accumulating knowledge. 0:06:49.380 --> 0:06:52.020 So you were, what, like 18 at this point? Yeah. 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:53.120 Okay. 0:06:53.500 --> 0:06:54.760 No, I was about 20, actually. 0:06:55.020 --> 0:06:58.839 And at 21, I met my friend Vincent Rodriguez III. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.680 If you guys know him, he is Josh on My 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:06.340 Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and actor, singer, dancer, a whole bit. And 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:10.750 so Vinny and I were doing Camelot in Boston, and 0:07:10.810 --> 0:07:13.150 we did the same card flourish at the same time 0:07:13.540 --> 0:07:16.340 And he opened my eyes to what magic could do 0:07:16.620 --> 0:07:20.930 and how to further it without any gimmicks, without anything. 0:07:21.550 --> 0:07:25.850 And it blew my mind. And I have been working 0:07:25.910 --> 0:07:28.470 towards becoming a professional ever since. A couple years later, 0:07:28.490 --> 0:07:30.670 I was doing Wicked at the Pantages. It was my 0:07:30.750 --> 0:07:32.650 golden birthday. And I thought, for my golden birthday, I'm 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:33.800 going to join the Magic Castle. 0:07:34.220 --> 0:07:34.720 And I did. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:37.530 And two years later, I was performing there, and I 0:07:37.570 --> 0:07:40.350 was doing a musical for the owner of the Magic 0:07:40.390 --> 0:07:42.430 Castle at the same time, and the rest is kind 0:07:42.450 --> 0:07:42.850 of history. 0:07:42.990 --> 0:07:43.390 Wow. 0:07:43.650 --> 0:07:45.650 When we did an episode of Boy Meets World where 0:07:45.780 --> 0:07:48.100 Eric has to shoot pool balls into, and it's like 0:07:48.300 --> 0:07:49.420 multiple balls in one shot. 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:50.120 Oh, it was Chef Anton? 0:07:50.180 --> 0:07:52.800 And Chef Anton was my mentor there, and he came 0:07:52.860 --> 0:07:54.200 and taught me everything, and it was the. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:55.810 Coolest thing in the world. He like set up the 0:07:55.850 --> 0:07:58.150 shot and did, oh hey, I actually took the shot. 0:07:58.230 --> 0:08:01.210 It's not really much of a trick. It was just like. 0:08:01.050 --> 0:08:01.600 Knowing how to do it. 0:08:01.610 --> 0:08:05.050 It's a trick, it's just not much of a magic trick. 0:08:05.090 --> 0:08:06.730 All magic is that. 0:08:07.750 --> 0:08:11.660 Magic really is the awe and wonder that you guys 0:08:11.700 --> 0:08:15.140 experience and me being able to be lucky enough to 0:08:15.180 --> 0:08:18.000 see your reactions. What we do, what I'm doing, what 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:20.900 Chef Anton is doing is a conduit for that reaction, 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.960 which is the magic. The magic trick, I'm doing the trick. 0:08:24.380 --> 0:08:27.060 We are all as a unit providing the magic. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:28.030 Does that make sense? 0:08:28.070 --> 0:08:28.650 Yeah. 0:08:29.210 --> 0:08:31.190 We looked him up again, and we were like, is 0:08:31.230 --> 0:08:34.390 this a joke? It's him. He says he teaches. It's 0:08:34.450 --> 0:08:37.630 got to be a joke. He teaches underwater magic. Oh, no, 0:08:37.650 --> 0:08:39.630 that's not a joke. That's not a joke. They have 0:08:39.690 --> 0:08:45.520 waterproof cards. Like, I promise you. So he's doing scuba magic. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, 0:08:45.540 --> 0:08:46.500 I promise you it's a thing. Wow. 0:08:47.020 --> 0:08:50.920 What would you say is the biggest difference between acting 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:52.380 and magic? 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.400 And what would you say makes them very similar? 0:08:54.970 --> 0:08:59.490 Okay, so I would say the biggest difference is the 0:08:59.610 --> 0:09:04.130 unscripted-ness of the whole thing. The improv is abundant. You 0:09:04.150 --> 0:09:06.370 have to really be on your toes. Things are going 0:09:06.390 --> 0:09:11.179 to go wrong, period. No magic show is going to 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.120 have a perfect run every single time. That's just not 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.920 possible because we're all human. We're all going to make mistakes. 0:09:16.550 --> 0:09:20.220 But of course, like live theater, your job is to 0:09:20.260 --> 0:09:22.740 not show that. Your job is to remember that you 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.020 know where you're going and your audience does not. 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:27.059 To lead them down a path of, oh, I meant 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:28.200 to do that. Here's why. 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.589 And sometimes that's on purpose. And sometimes that is not. 0:09:32.710 --> 0:09:34.010 But you don't want your audience to be able to 0:09:34.030 --> 0:09:34.550 tell the difference. 0:09:34.610 --> 0:09:37.810 So mistake and misdirection are two very different things. Or 0:09:37.850 --> 0:09:38.270 the same. 0:09:38.330 --> 0:09:40.030 Or the same. 0:09:40.390 --> 0:09:41.910 And how it's very similar is at the end of 0:09:41.929 --> 0:09:42.790 the day, it's just performing. 0:09:43.610 --> 0:09:47.469 You cannot do it alone. It's for an audience. You 0:09:47.670 --> 0:09:48.890 have to read your audience. You have to know how 0:09:48.910 --> 0:09:50.540 to play what you are doing. You have to be 0:09:50.580 --> 0:09:52.060 able to listen. You have to be able to read 0:09:52.340 --> 0:09:55.180 what's coming at you in order to understand what's coming back. 0:09:55.380 --> 0:09:58.130 And you have to be self-aware. There are times where. 0:09:58.190 --> 0:10:02.770 I admittedly have not been self-aware. And, you know, I 0:10:02.820 --> 0:10:05.459 have an amazing wife who keeps me grounded and who goes, hey, 0:10:05.900 --> 0:10:06.640 you need to check that. 0:10:06.780 --> 0:10:08.840 And I go, OK, you're right. All right. I didn't 0:10:08.860 --> 0:10:09.520 realize I was doing that. 0:10:09.660 --> 0:10:12.820 And then, you know, can is there is it one 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:16.360 of those things where it's like you can't learn magic 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.010 past a certain age? I mean, now that I'm 50, 0:10:19.010 --> 0:10:21.270 could I pick up magic now and by 55 be 0:10:21.350 --> 0:10:22.470 decent at it kind of thing? 0:10:22.590 --> 0:10:25.050 By 51, you'd be able to join the castle. No, by, 0:10:25.070 --> 0:10:27.670 I would say, what is it now? 0:10:27.790 --> 0:10:29.970 Okay, I would say in the next five months, if 0:10:30.070 --> 0:10:33.370 you and I worked once a week, I could get 0:10:33.429 --> 0:10:35.410 you absolutely in the next five months to be a 0:10:35.590 --> 0:10:39.100 Magic Castle member. If you give me five or six 0:10:39.130 --> 0:10:41.839 months past that, I could get you probably good enough 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:42.820 to submit to the close-up room. 0:10:43.220 --> 0:10:45.660 No. 100%. Once or twice a week. I'm going to 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:46.500 take you up on that. Okay. 0:10:47.059 --> 0:10:47.540 Really? 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:49.960 Yeah, 100%. 100%. I want to try. Let's do it. 0:10:50.220 --> 0:10:52.060 So within a year, within a year. By the time 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:53.059 you're 51, we can do that. 0:10:53.100 --> 0:10:53.480 Here's the thing. 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:56.640 I think that like, yeah, I mean, I think what 0:10:56.700 --> 0:10:59.089 you would bring, which I'm sure you brought too, is 0:10:59.500 --> 0:11:01.590 what I think is probably the most ineffable thing, which 0:11:01.650 --> 0:11:02.210 is performing. 0:11:02.230 --> 0:11:02.570 Absolutely. 0:11:02.590 --> 0:11:05.780 The ability to talk, the ability to like. entertain, read 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.340 an audience. That might not be as teachable. 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.720 The tricks, I imagine, are somewhat teachable because it's usually 0:11:11.740 --> 0:11:14.000 a logic thing or a sleight of hand thing, and 0:11:14.059 --> 0:11:14.960 once you learn. 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:15.420 That, yeah. 0:11:15.660 --> 0:11:18.559 That was absolutely nailed. If you're an amazing performer, you're 0:11:18.580 --> 0:11:20.380 gonna be an amazing magician. Do you don't need certain 0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:21.620 size hands or any. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:21.900 Of that kind? 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.020 Oh, no, I have very tiny hands. Smell like cabbage. 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:31.110 I'm not built for card magic, and yet card magic 0:11:31.150 --> 0:11:33.210 is my main source. 0:11:33.290 --> 0:11:33.970 It's crazy. 0:11:34.010 --> 0:11:36.530 Talk quite a bit about the Magic Castle, but there 0:11:36.630 --> 0:11:39.410 are a lot of dear listeners and viewers who don't 0:11:39.510 --> 0:11:42.050 know a ton about the Magic Castle. You have performed 0:11:42.550 --> 0:11:45.719 all over the country quite a bit at the Magic Castle. 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.260 For anyone listening or watching who doesn't know anything about 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:51.280 the Magic Castle, what could you tell them? 0:11:51.500 --> 0:11:54.140 So it is described, the Magic Castle, as the Mecca 0:11:54.220 --> 0:11:59.120 of Magic. What that means is Magicians from all over 0:11:59.140 --> 0:12:02.120 the world do flock to try to perform here, which 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:02.640 is incredible. 0:12:02.860 --> 0:12:03.380 It's amazing. 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:08.550 It is the world's biggest, most private club for magicians 0:12:08.610 --> 0:12:13.230 and magic lovers on the planet. So basically, magicians from 0:12:13.250 --> 0:12:15.760 around the world perform in different rooms. Each room is 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.050 a different size with a different style. of magic, there 0:12:19.070 --> 0:12:22.000 are many styles of magic. There's close-up magic, there's parlor magic, 0:12:22.020 --> 0:12:23.480 which is like magic in your living room, a little 0:12:23.500 --> 0:12:27.000 more distance. There's stage magic, which is big illusions, grand illusions, 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.680 sawing the person in half, making the tigers, lions, bears, 0:12:30.740 --> 0:12:33.740 oh my, appear, disappear, all of those things. And there 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.329 is bar magic, which is a mixture of kind of 0:12:36.370 --> 0:12:39.170 like a strolling magic, which I'll get into, and a 0:12:39.190 --> 0:12:42.380 close-up magic. There is strolling magic, and that is doing 0:12:42.460 --> 0:12:44.939 small bits of magic like at a wedding reception at 0:12:44.980 --> 0:12:46.920 an event where you go up to different groups of 0:12:46.940 --> 0:12:50.440 people and you kind of move on. And then there's 0:12:50.460 --> 0:12:55.240 like the comedy magicians, which is mostly a comedy act 0:12:55.260 --> 0:12:56.480 with some magic thrown in. 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:00.370 And then there are mentalists, and mentalists are mind readers. 0:13:00.390 --> 0:13:03.670 I knew you were going to say that. You're good. 0:13:03.710 --> 0:13:05.190 Maybe you should be a mentalist. I knew you were 0:13:05.230 --> 0:13:07.510 going to say that too. I also know exactly what 0:13:07.530 --> 0:13:11.030 Danielle's thinking, and that's not true. Very incredible. 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.520 So it's deceptively big, but it's a private club, so 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.400 you do need to know a magician to give you 0:13:16.460 --> 0:13:18.580 either a guest pass or walk in with a magician 0:13:18.900 --> 0:13:20.880 or be on a magician's guest list. 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:21.360 But it is. 0:13:21.780 --> 0:13:23.100 And you also have to be well-dressed. 0:13:23.500 --> 0:13:25.620 You also have to be well-dressed. There is a dress code. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:27.730 That there's a dress code. Yes, there is a dress code. 0:13:27.809 --> 0:13:31.090 I've only been once. Soon to be twice. Soon to 0:13:31.110 --> 0:13:33.990 be twice. But the entire experience is. 0:13:35.010 --> 0:13:38.970 It's this great combination of being old-school magic and old-school Hollywood. 0:13:39.390 --> 0:13:42.689 It's really cool, the combination of the things of getting 0:13:42.730 --> 0:13:45.309 dressed up and everything when you walk in. It's just 0:13:45.330 --> 0:13:48.220 ridiculous to say, but it's a magical place. 0:13:48.390 --> 0:13:48.819 It really is. 0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:49.510 It's too late? 0:13:49.530 --> 0:13:50.170 It's too late. 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:50.960 At night, you mean? 0:13:50.980 --> 0:13:54.020 Yes. Well, it opens at 5 p.m. That's what I. 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:54.320 Need to do. 0:13:54.340 --> 0:13:56.980 Most people leave by 9 or 10 anyway. You can 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.740 do the early bird special magic. 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.459 I mean, I understand the last show is like, I 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:03.040 think the. 0:14:02.900 --> 0:14:04.359 Last show is at like 12, 45 a.m. 0:14:06.809 --> 0:14:08.250 Like it's, it goes. 0:14:08.330 --> 0:14:11.120 That would be, but so that would be the biggest 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.020 magic performed all night is if Danielle stayed that long. 0:14:14.100 --> 0:14:16.240 Cause you would literally go, there'd be no way. 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:17.560 That was amazing. 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.300 Now that wasn't here. It's one o'clock in the morning. 0:14:20.740 --> 0:14:24.140 That's incredible. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, Hey, you never 0:14:24.180 --> 0:14:25.739 know stranger things, right? Yeah. 0:14:26.390 --> 0:14:28.530 I was told that you were nice enough to maybe 0:14:28.630 --> 0:14:31.370 perform some magic here for us today. 0:14:31.790 --> 0:14:33.430 Oh, no, I'm not ready for that. 0:14:33.590 --> 0:14:34.240 Yeah, no. 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.680 I'd be happy to do it. Ladies and gentlemen, Will Friedle. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.280 There you go. No, absolutely. 0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:43.620 So I had the lovely, amazing producers of your show 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.750 buy actual deck of cards because I don't want you 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.040 guys to think that there's things going on, there's things 0:14:49.060 --> 0:14:49.400 going on. 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:50.260 I'm just gonna tell you. 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:55.600 So, Will, we have cards here. I do not, it 0:14:55.620 --> 0:14:57.880 does not matter to me which deck of cards you 0:14:57.900 --> 0:14:59.020 decide to open. 0:15:00.070 --> 0:15:02.870 But all I would ask you to do is that. Excellent, 0:15:02.990 --> 0:15:06.090 we'll put that here. And whichever deck of cards you 0:15:06.230 --> 0:15:09.150 put on there. I don't know which ones I want. 0:15:09.510 --> 0:15:10.370 Should I pick your arm? 0:15:10.970 --> 0:15:14.000 Excellent. Okay, this one, though, you kind of tore the 0:15:14.010 --> 0:15:15.780 bottom of the box. It was tore before, which is 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:17.680 another reason. Well, nothing's right. I'm torn, but I'm all 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:22.480 out of faith. This is my wife. We'll do the opening. 0:15:22.500 --> 0:15:25.580 That's right. That's a remake. A lot of people don't 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:27.489 know that song was a remake. Was it? Oh, really? Yeah, 0:15:27.570 --> 0:15:31.090 Dorm is a remake. Remix, remake? Am I saying it wrong? Cover. 0:15:31.170 --> 0:15:32.350 It's a cover. 0:15:32.430 --> 0:15:35.210 It's a cover. Just like Respect is a cover. Yes. 0:15:35.430 --> 0:15:38.430 It's probably one of the most famous covers of all time, 0:15:38.450 --> 0:15:40.479 besides I Will Always Love You. So I'm going to 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.250 take all of the... and jokers and add cards out, 0:15:44.670 --> 0:15:49.150 leaving us with just a deck of cards that is 0:15:49.330 --> 0:15:53.380 perfectly in Hoyle order, that's what they- Hoyle? 0:15:53.460 --> 0:15:54.880 Hoyle order, new deck order. 0:15:55.700 --> 0:15:59.120 But Hoyle was, I think, the original company that made cards. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.600 Made cards, yeah. I will cut these. 0:16:02.820 --> 0:16:05.800 And I will give them a shuffle like this. But 0:16:05.830 --> 0:16:08.490 I'm gonna be honest with you that when I shuffle, 0:16:08.890 --> 0:16:09.810 people don't trust me. 0:16:10.050 --> 0:16:13.910 Why? Because I'm a magician. Which kind of makes sense. 0:16:13.950 --> 0:16:16.810 You shouldn't trust me, it doesn't make any sense. 0:16:17.170 --> 0:16:20.620 So I would like all of you, if you want, 0:16:21.100 --> 0:16:24.160 to help me with this. What I'm gonna do, Will, 0:16:24.460 --> 0:16:26.120 is I'm just gonna put cards here and if you 0:16:26.140 --> 0:16:28.270 could just continue To mix them. 0:16:28.330 --> 0:16:31.310 To mix them, okay. Mix them. We'll mix a lot. Yeah, 0:16:31.550 --> 0:16:34.050 just continue to mix. Mix, mix, mix. 0:16:34.110 --> 0:16:34.810 I'm exhausted. 0:16:34.870 --> 0:16:37.670 Mix and match all of the things for all of 0:16:37.710 --> 0:16:37.950 the people. 0:16:37.970 --> 0:16:38.770 That's just swirling. 0:16:39.770 --> 0:16:42.130 Yeah. Should I actually shuffle? You can do whatever you want. 0:16:42.150 --> 0:16:48.140 Just mix. It does not matter. Yeah, just mix it. Wow. 0:16:48.770 --> 0:16:49.530 I can't believe you said that. 0:16:49.550 --> 0:16:50.770 We're going to dub that in later. He's not going 0:16:50.790 --> 0:16:51.210 to like it. 0:16:51.310 --> 0:16:52.810
