1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Put your hands together, and we're going to start to

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: party and start.

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: At the part.

4
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 3: I'm ready to party.

5
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:13,120
Speaker 2: The Elvis Duran after Party.

6
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah party podcast, Let's go.

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 4: I'm telling you about going to a surprise party for

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 4: a friend of ours over the weekend.

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 3: Andre. We had a great time and so Alex and I.

10
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 4: As one of our gifts for him, we brought in

11
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 4: our favorite magician, John Steescil love him. Yeah, we love John,

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 4: so cool, the nicest guy. We had so much fun

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 4: and we got tanked and we got really pretty. But

14
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,319
Speaker 4: he was doing these tricks and people didn't know.

15
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 3: Who he was. The people did not know who he was.

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 4: We're skeptical. Okay, I'll watch this guy do a trick,

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 4: and then boom, he does this trick. Cards start flying

18
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 4: and moving around the room, and he finds a card

19
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 4: on the ceiling and all this kind of stuff. Then

20
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: people were hooked all night. He was the busiest man

21
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 4: in show business. And then it's always funny. There's those

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 4: who have to find out how he did the trick

23
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 4: and those like me who I don't.

24
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 3: Want to know. It's magic. Let it get too I.

25
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 4: Can worry about other things, like the next drink at

26
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 4: the bar. You know, don't you guys love magicians? I

27
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: mean magicians to me, And this isn't so stupid, is

28
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 4: that magicians are magic. I love that about magicians because

29
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: I just how they do that.

30
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: And I know it's a lot.

31
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 5: Of practice, because I've tried to do it myself when

32
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 5: I was a little kid, I wanted to be a magician.

33
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: Didn't work out.

34
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 5: Because you's gotta spend so much time doing it. You

35
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 5: don't realize the amount of time John stescil practice. They

36
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 5: call it the French drop when you make something disappear

37
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 5: in your hand. It's the amount of He must have

38
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 5: spent ten thousand hours minimum, learning how to do these

39
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 5: magic tricks.

40
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 6: Minimum reason he always learning, too, is always learning stuff.

41
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: He needs to refresh those those tricks.

42
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 4: Did you see the trick he played on his mother

43
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 4: during COVID No.

44
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: He his mother lives in Arizona.

45
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 4: He actually reconstructed his bedroom or a room in his

46
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 4: house that looks like his bedroom in a hotel room

47
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 4: in her town in Arizona. And he was facetiming with

48
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: her from this room in his house.

49
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: He says, Mom, I got a great trick for you today.

50
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 3: She's like oh you do what is it?

51
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: He says, Okay, I'll call you back in five minutes,

52
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 4: and then he drives around the corner to his mom's

53
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 4: house with some flowers and she opens the door and

54
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 4: he's standing right there. In her mind he was in

55
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: his house in New Jersey because it looked just like

56
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 4: that room. And then he was at her front door

57
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: to say hi during COVID and I I know, but

58
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 4: you know imagination, you know you if you just think

59
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 4: it through, you can you can.

60
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 3: Come up with any great trick, any great illusion. And

61
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: he did.

62
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 6: See.

63
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: I think about the magicians versus mentalists. Well, magicians call

64
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: themselves illusionists, right, not magicians that stuff. I feel like, okay,

65
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: we could all learn it if we spend enough time,

66
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: because there are tricks to it that they will teach you.

67
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: But the mentalist, how did get in my head?

68
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 6: How do they do that?

69
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 2: That is crazy? Remember we had that O's Pearlman guy

70
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: and he guessed my best friend's name and birthday. Even

71
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: if it was just hey, guess that, I would be

72
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: stunned that he did it. But the way he did it,

73
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: where he told me to pick somebody who I'd be

74
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: sad if they didn't come to my birthday party.

75
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 6: Who would it be?

76
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 2: Write it down on a piece of paper. He nailed it.

77
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: How how do they do that?

78
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: And why are they not billion?

79
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 6: And then they put it in like a little envelope

80
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 6: sometimes and the envelope is sealed.

81
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 3: Why do you open it up?

82
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 6: And the answer is there?

83
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: How is that? Or if you cut it?

84
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 4: You cut a limon in half and it's inside the limit.

85
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: Stuff that freaks me out. Listen the slide of hand stuff.

86
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: I get you could you know, you know people doing

87
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: stuff with their hands, and you know when you're not looking.

88
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: But these these moments where you're tearing up a map

89
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: of the United States and to a zillion pieces, and

90
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you're left with Miami and

91
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: then that's what was on the side of the city.

92
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: You were thinking of, How the hell does it get

93
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 3: to that?

94
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 5: So I was every once in a while Instagram changes

95
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 5: its algorithm, right, And for whatever reason, there was the

96
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 5: algorithm that started showing me how the magicians do these tricks.

97
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: And I get this out of here, don't want to

98
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 5: you can google it because I saw that one scary.

99
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm not gonna tell you. I don't know.

100
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: The guy who does chamber magic, Steve Cohen, does that

101
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: in front and I was sitting in the front row

102
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: and I'm.

103
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 7: Like, how the hell Yeah, because he's even looking and

104
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 7: he's angrily tearing up a map of the United States

105
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 7: in random directions and his one little piece stuck in

106
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 7: his hands. And then the girl reveals the town Miami,

107
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 7: and he opens it up and this Miami with the point.

108
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 3: With his stupid Instagram post. They showed the magic trick,

109
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: and then they turned the camera around and they showed

110
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: how he did it.

111
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 6: Okay, I want to don't tell us how he did it,

112
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 6: But were you amazed at how he did it? Or

113
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 6: were you like, oh my gosh, that makes total sense.

114
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: That's the second. The second it was so simple.

115
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 5: I didn't even think it could have been done like that,

116
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 5: and it just ruined it.

117
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to know. I don't want to know.

118
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: There's the thing you do want to know, but you

119
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 4: don't want to know.

120
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 2: I want to know. Yeah, people did this stuff. They

121
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 2: would have been killed.

122
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: Which crowd, they would burn you at the state.

123
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, wait, what about what he puts it on like

124
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 6: his Instagram page and it says like the answer, and

125
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 6: he was in this room and he says, now go

126
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 6: to my Instagram page and see the answer to the question.

127
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 6: And you go there and there.

128
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, funny you mentioned that. It's funny you mentioned.

129
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 4: That because when we went to see at the mcintrick Hotel.

130
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: Yes, it was like the speakeasy magic.

131
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 4: Yes, we would sit at a table and the magicians

132
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: would rotate or the illusionists whatever would rotate. And there

133
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 4: was one guy. I became friendly with him and followed

134
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: him on Instagram, And every once in a while I'll

135
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 4: get an Instagram notification from it and you don't open

136
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: it up, and it's him and it says the Dollar

137
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 4: Building is in your pocket. It's all the freaky answers,

138
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 4: you know, for all the people he's doing a magic

139
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 4: show for.

140
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: At that time, I'm like, and I watched it.

141
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 2: Time blasted to everyone. The people who reveal how to

142
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: do it. Don't you like get kicked out of the

143
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: Illusionist Guild for doing things like that?

144
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 5: If I was an illusionist, I would hunt those people down.

145
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 6: Isn't that why there was the mask Magicians show? Remember?

146
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: And he used to show us how to do everything traders.

147
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if you've ever been to the Magic Castle

148
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles?

149
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 3: Amazing? Right, I think they do have.

150
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 4: Like a magician's council. I mean there are well, yeah,

151
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 4: it's like the Broccoli Council.

152
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, like you have to do certain things in

153
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 5: order to be part of the guild.

154
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 3: I guess it is. And uh, yeah, it was very impressive.

155
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 5: I would go there random, like Friday and Saturday nights,

156
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 5: and they would just have rooms that people were practicing magic,

157
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 5: and then they would do a show at the end

158
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 5: of the night.

159
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: The food was terrible, he says.
