1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: Now what's up.

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 2: It's way up with Angela Yee and Josh Pelly is here.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: Josh Pelley Magic is here with us today. I'm excited

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:11,520

Speaker 3: Thank you for having me. I'm super excited to be here.

Speaker 3: No, Okay, overwhelmed with emotion.

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 2: So when our producer Dan was proposing one of the things,

9
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 2: he had all these plans of like how he wanted

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: to do it, and one of the things that his

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 2: fiancee loves is magic, and so we had a chance

12
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 2: to witness you, you know, doing some magic. And so

13
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 2: I'm just glad that you're here because I have seen

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 2: you all over the place and just for people who

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: you did his you did his party. You've done magic

17
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: for a fifty cent which you can't mess that up.

18
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 2: There's a lot of pressure right there. J Balvin, Mike

19
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: Tyson can't mess that up either. French Montana, Tiffany Hattis, Maya,

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: just all of our favorite celebrities. So you know, kudos

21
00:00:58,320 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: to you for everything that you've been doing.

22
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. I mean, they're no Angela Yee, but

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 3: they're out there, you know, maybe they'll get there, the

24
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 3: credentials are coming. It's it's just awesome to be able

25
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 3: to do what I do, perform, you know, make moments

26
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: for people. I think that a lot of times I

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: get asked is magic real? And they're asking me is

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: the effects I'm doing real? And I really think that

29
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 3: the idea should be more on the impact I leave

30
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: on people. Is that no matter what you're doing, if

31
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: you're having a bad day, a sad day, a good day,

32
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 3: two minutes, three minutes, four minutes I have with you,

33
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 3: you love me, you hate me. That's two three four minutes,

34
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: you're living in the moment, which I think is magic

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 3: on its own. And the fact that I'm able to

36
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: do that to anyone, regardless of circumstance, to me is

37
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: what real magic is. So in that definition, I think

38
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 3: that's the magic I'm able to bring and I hope

39
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: to do it as much as I can.

40
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: And you're also a mentalist, So can you explain for

41
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: people listening you're not just a magician, you're a mentalist.

42
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: What is a mentalist?

43
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, a mentalist. It's definitely something that's trending lately, new

44
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 3: kind of magic. I would say with magicians, you hear

45
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 3: things like sleight of hand, which essentially is skills that

46
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 3: we practice. You get in the lab, you work on

47
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: the routines, and then you go perform them, assuming that

48
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: the trick is based on a slight or a move. Mentalism,

49
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: the easiest way to explain it would be the magic

50
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 3: of the mind. So it's a type of magic, but

51
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: it's more heavily on less necessarily skill based slight hand,

52
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: which it does include, but now I'm also adding in

53
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: a lot of body language psychology, right trying to get

54
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: you to think one way or another, or trying to

55
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: see how you're thinking, and incorporating all of those features.

56
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: So cognitive psychology, human behavior is whatever the word is,

57
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: different biases that there are, and just a little of

58
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: everything there. So it's very more psychological based. It's a

59
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: lot harder when something is psychological. You don't have a

60
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: guarantee that'll work, versus with some magic tricks. It's kind

61
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 3: of if you do the.

62
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: Move, it'll work.

63
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 3: If you do it poorly, you'll get caught. That's another story.

64
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, it works, which

65
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: is one thing. But with mentalism, it's never guaranteed. You

66
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: could be doing the same thing twenty years in a

67
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: row and you still never have one hundred percent. You'll

68
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: be pretty lucky, I mean not lucky, but most of

69
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: the time it'll be right. You'll be in the high

70
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: ninety percent of But there's always always room for error

71
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: in that way.

72
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: Now, what's so interesting is for people to understand how

73
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: you got your start. I saw you were traveling to Italy.

74
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: Is that what happened? And started doing med? Like, can

75
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: you tell us how this all started for you?

76
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one of the randommest thing people expect to hear,

77
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: you know. They come to me, they say, how long

78
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: have you been doing magic? You must have loved it

79
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: as a kid. You must have bought a kid, you

80
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 3: must have seen a magician, which is how a lot

81
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: of people start. You see that moment when you're young,

82
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 3: and to some it goes away, they get into other interests.

83
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: To others, they end up doing that as the career.

84
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: And for me, I didn't really have that. I was

85
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: an athlete growing up. I went all the way through

86
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: my career full scholarship, d one soccer player. That was

87
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: one of my life I was going to be a

88
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: pro s well Pale. Yeah, that's where that's where it

89
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 3: comes from, because the soccer success, that's all I knew,

90
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: that's all I wanted to do. I was going through

91
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: school just to make my parents happy, and as soon

92
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: as I got that degree, I was going to leave,

93
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: leave the country go play pro. Got injured very early

94
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: in my career, like after I graduated, so the pro

95
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: career was very short. And then the Italy trip. I

96
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: went to visit a friend. I'm relaxing in my downtime,

97
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 3: kind of between activities, and there's kind of like there's

98
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: a deck of cards on the table, just what people

99
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 3: have in their coffee tables. I grab it. I'm playing

100
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: with the cards, just fidgeting, relaxing. I'm tired, jet lagged,

101
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: and an idea comes to my mind. Now I don't

102
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,559
Speaker 3: have context. I don't know if it's a good idea.

103
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's bad. I don't know if

104
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: it's a magic. I don't know what it is. It's

105
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: just something that came to me, and I guess my

106
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: curious nature came out and I just had to try

107
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 3: it on strangers in the streets in a country that

108
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: didn't speak English. But the reactions were really good and

109
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: it was enough for me to come back and make

110
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 3: a career out of it. So thank God for curiosity.

111
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 2: Wow, you think that's a divine intervention to be sitting there,

112
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: there's a deck of cards and then just to be like,

113
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to do this in Italy where you don't

114
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: speak Italian and they don't speak English.

115
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a really good question. I haven't thought of

116
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 3: it like that. I think that as I continue my

117
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: career and I see again the impact I make on people.

118
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 3: And also it's interesting when I meet other people. There's

119
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 3: a lot of people that I've had, several magicians, several mentalists,

120
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 3: a lot of different experiences from big shows to small

121
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,359
Speaker 3: shows that and majority of the time I'm their favorite.

122
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: And that's not you know, it's not to say my

123
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: tricks are better or not. I know a lot of

124
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 3: people that are much say longer resumes, better skills. I

125
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: think that what separates me is that connection I create

126
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: with people, is that interactiveness, and so that I think

127
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: I've always had that nature to be social, to interact,

128
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: to have an experience with someone, and it definitely multiplies

129
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: with adding on to the magic. You know, people love

130
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: me first, and then that as opposed to that magician

131
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 3: was great. Sounds great on paper, right, like if Angela

132
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 3: yeese like, oh, Dan, that magician was so cool, And

133
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 3: in a month later you're like Dan, remember that magician

134
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: And Dan's like, yeah, you're so good, Like we should

135
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: bring him somewhere. He's all, how are you gonna find him?

136
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 3: He's just the magician versus if it's like what Josh

137
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 3: did was amazing, we got a called now, you know,

138
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 3: So it's very important for me to always show myself first.

139
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: I'm Josh. You like Josh and you like the magic

140
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 3: Josh does. So if the name is Josh, later on

141
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 3: when you need something like that, you call Josh. If

142
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 3: it's just the magician, you know, that's when I get

143
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: lost in the spreadsheets, the CRMs, the databases, and that.

144
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: Doesn't is it weird?

145
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: Like people might want to hang out, like you know,

146
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: they met you doing magic at an event and then

147
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: they're like what are you doing later? And the next thing,

148
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: you know, like you're going out for drinks, Like how

149
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 2: does that work? You're social part of it, because like

150
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: you said, people like Josh the person, and then there's

151
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: Jash the magician and they're like, oh, I really you know,

152
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: enjoyed him being there, because a lot of what you

153
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: do is social.

154
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I definitely get cool invites. For example,

155
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 3: yesterday I was doing a show and it was it

156
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: was New York's longest running magic show. It's called Monday

157
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: Night Magic, and that's like a series of a lot

158
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 3: of performers. So there's a lot of magicians that perform.

159
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: So you come get dinner, you might have like one

160
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 3: to ten magicians come up to you in that hour

161
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 3: and a half you're eating dinner, and then there's a

162
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: show show that you watch. It's a very long program.

163
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: It's like, Dan, did you go to this? And did

164
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: you know about this? Would you go to this? Yes?

165
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 3: She was to go yeah, yeah, you guys should go

166
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 3: and out. Now I'm one of the performers there, so

167
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: now I don't mind talking about it. Before I was like,

168
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: don't go there, go to my show. Now I'm part

169
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 3: of it. And the table yesterday actually they had a

170
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 3: few magicians at the end. They came up They're like,

171
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 3: we loved your charisma more than the other people that

172
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: came up to us, and they invited me to go

173
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: play soccer with them this weekend. I could check when

174
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: and where the time, but I get invited to things.

175
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: I think for me and the way it is is

176
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: my business grows from me being myself, so me being

177
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 3: social always helps. You never know when you go to

178
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: an event, right, anyone could be a client. There could

179
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 3: be someone that has something for their party coming up,

180
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 3: someone's engaged, someone's that. There's all kinds of events and

181
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: just being in front of them is very important for me.

182
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 3: And by going out more, I increase my chances, my leads.

183
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: And then when I do my show is I usually

184
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: get a lot of repeats because of what I'm able

185
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 3: to accomplish in that time.

186
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 2: With them, and even talking about what you're doing now

187
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: with other magicians present, how competitive is that? Like is

188
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: everybody cool or is it more like Josh ain't all

189
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: that Well.

190
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 3: There's the people that say, hey, Josh, like I'm like

191
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: thankful that my resume like has like a very big presence.

192
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: You know, someone says Josh and all that, and then

193
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: they see, you know, the names that I performed for

194
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 3: the TV appearances. Then they kind of they start to

195
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: hold themselves back from comments like that because they probably

196
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: are trying to do things like that, and now they're like, oh,

197
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: but how does he do that. I think when I

198
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 3: first started, when I came back from Italy, I maybe

199
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: it was the wrong group of magicians but the very

200
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: few that I interacted with at the time weren't very

201
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: open to me wanting to talk magic. I wasn't asking

202
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: them for secrets or how to do tricks. I was

203
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: just interested in just talking, just like a subject. And

204
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 3: they were very mean to me, and I think that

205
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: kind of threw me away from wanting to meet other magicians.

206
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 3: And I just was like, I'm gonna put my head down,

207
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 3: and I don't like if you tell me I can't

208
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 3: do something, I'm twice as likely going to do it.

209
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: I just love doing stuff when people tell me. Now,

210
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: like people say I can't wait and see you again. Yeah,

211
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: Like if someone if someone says I can do something,

212
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, I'll go do it. But if someone

213
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 3: says I can't, I'm like, oh, I'm really gonna go

214
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: do it.

215
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

216
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,599
Speaker 3: And from there, I think because I just put my

217
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: head down and it started grinding, the magic wasn't quite there.

218
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 3: I mean when I got back from my new one

219
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: trick but the business side, I'm like, I'm going meet people,

220
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell people I do this, I'm gonna sell myself.

221
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna push myself. And then the accolades, the resumes,

222
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: the videos, the content started coming, and now you know,

223
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: now I want people to be to be close with

224
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 3: because I'm starting to get a point where I'm overbooked,

225
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: and so if I have two shows, I want to

226
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 3: have friends that I could say, hey, I have a

227
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: really good show for you, and I could send you there.

228
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: And I've started to make a good number of friends,

229
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 3: and I think with this new show too, I'm gonna

230
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: hopefully make some new friends there where we could help

231
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 3: each other feed. Magicians are not very nice in general.

232
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: It's not a good industry. Everyone's kind of full of themselves.

233
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 3: It's really easy to remember to think that you're like,

234
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: I don't want to curse, but you're the issue because

235
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 3: of the impact you do. But at the end of

236
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: the day, that's what you're doing. It's the magic tricks

237
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: you're doing. It's not you. And I think a lot

238
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: of magicians let that get to their heads and their

239
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 3: egos flow and keep growing over time with that, and

240
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 3: I think it's it's just bad because we could all eat.

241
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 3: There's always going to be more demand than we can supply,

242
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: especially because we're such a specific thing, and so by

243
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: a by, by working together, there's so much growth. So

244
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 3: I want more magician friends, I want more people. I

245
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 3: want to help them. I want to get more shows

246
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 3: where you can do like.

247
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: A TV show in the making already.

248
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 3: Like yeah, honestly, magicians are like a reality show. It's

249
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: not a very interesting one. Like the drama is just boring.

250
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: Like I think people would watch and be like that's

251
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 3: just so dumb, Like you're kind of lame, but like

252
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 3: it's just what do you think.

253
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: It's like the ultimate?

254
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 2: I remember when I was serious, I interviewed Chris Angel

255
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: and that was like a really big deal, you know

256
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: when that happened. But like being in Vegas and having

257
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: like like a residency there, what do you think for

258
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 2: you if you have to think to the future, like

259
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: what what do you want?

260
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a really good question. And a lot of

261
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 3: magicians that's their dream to get a residency in Vegas.

262
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: And I perform in Vegas every year I go down there.

263
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: That's one of my residencies. I have Vegas I do

264
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 3: every year. Miami I usually get to do every year.

265
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: In Mexico has been one of the last few years

266
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 3: that I've done. I think that I have a stage show.

267
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: You guys haven't seen it, and I'm excited for when

268
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: you do come to see it. But I like doing it.

269
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind a stage show, but I also don't

270
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: know how full time I would want a stage show, like,

271
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,559
Speaker 3: I don't want to be limited to a city. For me,

272
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 3: I love going to Vegas and performing and then coming

273
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: back to New York.

274
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 2: Is they're the best money? You think in Vegas or

275
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: in my head, it is because I think there.

276
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 3: I think because of the product you're offering. The money

277
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: can be anywhere, you know, Like there's magicians in New

278
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 3: York City that they pay like venues, like thirty thousand

279
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 3: a month in rent just to do their show twice

280
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: a week. And they make that much money that they

281
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 3: can afford like thirty thousands. They're just magicians and they're

282
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 3: paying thirty thousand in rent a month or like, yeah,

283
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 3: it's about thirty I know another guy I know, he

284
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 3: has a deal with a hotel. He pays them five

285
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 3: hundred k a year. To run the show on twice a.

286
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: Week, and that is crazy.

287
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 3: So you can do it in New York. It's really

288
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: getting the demand, getting the ticket sales, getting the name.

289
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: I think you could really do it anywhere. It's all

290
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,199
Speaker 3: but that again, like the magic stuff, it just comes

291
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 3: down to business. You could be the best magician in

292
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 3: the world, make no money. You could be a terrible magician. Honestly,

293
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: make a couple hundred thousand if you really are good

294
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: at the business aspect.

295
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: Who's been the most fun?

296
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: Like, I know people probably ask you this all the time,

297
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: but like, what are some memorable experiences that you had,

298
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: because you've done a lot of private events.

299
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think some moments to stick out to me.

300
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 3: Jade and Smith the first time I've did it, two

301
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: birthdays of his that were about a year apart. The

302
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 3: first one was cool because in the video he like

303
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: he's freaking out so much that he's like smacking the

304
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 3: guy next to him, which is the security guard of

305
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 3: the club. And that security guard ended up becoming one

306
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 3: of my really close friends. And I did like his

307
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: sister's His sister had a baby. I did their shower,

308
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 3: so it's kind of cool, like we connected over that moment,

309
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: like I freaked out a celebrity and he got to

310
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 3: be the person that got smacked by the celebrity, which

311
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 3: is I mean to some people, that's a very cool moment,

312
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: like Jade Smith was smacking me, not you. That stands

313
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 3: out to me. Performing for you stood out, which is

314
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 3: full well it did because because of the timing, because

315
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: randomly I'd done Mano before and when I saw you

316
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 3: guys talk about me the next week, that was just

317
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,880

320
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: I was like wait, this is like amazing because I

321
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 3: you know, I I don't know like how many of

00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 3: my friends, like a lot of my friends love you,

323
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: but I don't know how much of the people throughout

324
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: my life. And I had people like from high school,

325
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 3: like I haven't talked to them in years cause I

326
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: haven't really seen them in high school. They're like Angela

327
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,599
Speaker 3: yee saying that's insane. And I'm getting text from like

328
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: high school people because angelaie like Eve like my magic

329
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: and I was like that's just a cool thing, like

330
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 3: I haven't had anyone. I didn't have anyone. I don't

331
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 3: think I've had anyone from high school. TXT me about

332
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 3: any of the other names like that. So that's that's

333
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 3: a unique one we're talking about. Yeah, another one would

334
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: be Saquon Barkley's huge right now. I have a video

335
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: of him saying Josh is the best magician there is

336
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: and that's right after I did a trick for him

337
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: and his mother.

338
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: That's why them of the magicians don't like you.

339
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if they've seen that click yet, but

340
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: that one was good because it was It was a

341
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 3: great trick. It's one of my best ones. I think

342
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: it gets a really powerful impact. And you know I

343
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 3: did that with him in front of I did it

344
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: for his mother, So not only is it a good trick,

345
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 3: I'm doing it for his mom. And he literally stood

346
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 3: up and ran away if he walked away, and then

347
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 3: he came back and with all of his success, congrats

348
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 3: to him. You know, that's always a good clip, right

349
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 3: when with magic, it's like if someone that you perform

350
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 3: for is doing really well, you could repurpose that content.

351
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: If I have a video that's old with someone and

352
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 3: I repost it when they do something right. If you

353
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: or UFC fighter and they win the belt, I post

354
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 3: a video perfect time, if it's their birthday, if they

355
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: start a new show, if they do like a really

356
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: big achievement like going the way up show, like that's

357
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 3: something worth posting.

358
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm so good at this.

359
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: I have one more question too, and before we get

360
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: into some tricks. Yes, do you think anybody can do magic?

361
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: Can anybody learn it? Or is it something that you

362
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: feel like you know because we've we've all seen tricks

363
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: go wrong too, and I'm sure there's people who have

364
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 2: tried it and they just gave up. Do you think

365
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: that it's something that anyone can actually become good at?

366
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I firmly believe anyone could be a magician, because

367
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: I think there's a big distinction between a magician or

368
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: what I do. Because I'm a full time magician. To

369
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 3: do magic full time, that's a wholeness, but that doesn't

370
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 3: come down to the nitty gritty of the magic. That

371
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: comes down to everything else, the networking, the business, to

372
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: selling yourself on a very hard product to sell. It's

373
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: not the most straightforward.

374
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: Thing, like how do you get even started? I'm sure

375
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: if anybody wanted to do it.

376
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 3: It's like where do I Yeah, where do I start?

377
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 3: How do I get shows? How to?

378
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: And like you said, it's not easy to get like

379
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: a mentor in the business.

380
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: And then it's also like you know, when you first

381
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 3: getting started, you tell people what you do, you're a magician.

382
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: They're going to ask you, Okay, what if I hire you?

383
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: What are you going to do? You don't know, like

384
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: how do you explain what you do or how? It's

385
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: not the most trivial thing, but in terms of doing tricks,

386
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: I think that in my mind, if someone knows a trick,

387
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 3: they're a magician. If you asked me to teach you

388
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: a card trick and you learn it and you can

389
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 3: go do it to your wife, your husband, your friends,

390
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 3: you're a magician.

391
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: We can put that in our bio exactly.

392
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, well you are already a magician, but we're

393
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: going to add to your your.

394
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 2: Toolkit and okay, well let's let's I want there to

395
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: be because I know we're on the radio, so we

396
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 2: want to make sure that there's some things we can

397
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: do that are visual. But I want to do something

398
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: also that people listening can follow along.

399
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think today. We have two tricks. We have

400
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 3: something mind reading into the mentalism, and then we have

401
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: a very fun, magic tricky. Cool thing about this magic

402
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: trick is that everyone back home listening can follow along.

403
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: So if you're listening right now and you have a

404
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 3: deck of cards on you, take a moment and grab them.

405
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: We're going to start with the other tricks. You don't

406
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 3: have to worry, but have a deck ready because this

407
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: is going to be a fun trick for you all later.

408
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 3: But before we do that, we're going to get into

409
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: a little mind reading mentalism. Okay, and not many people do,

410
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: but I do have what women want an envelope that

411
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 3: I brought today, And for the people that can't see,

412
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 3: I'm going to literally dictate it's a white envelope that

413
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: says gift, and this is literally a gift for you.

414
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 3: And sometimes when we're doing mind reading, we want to

415
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 3: set that tone, we want to set that imagery up.

416
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 3: So everything I'm going to be saying, a lot of

417
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 3: people can at least picture it at home. They don't

418
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 3: need to necessarily be in the room with us. So

419
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: I want you to imagine you're going to go to

420
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: look at daily test like a grocery store. Can you

421
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: imagine yourself driving to that grocery store, okay, whatever clothes

422
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: you might wear, whatever car you might dry, whatever, maybe

423
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 3: trinkets you have in the car. Sometimes people have, like

424
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: the air fresheners and the keychains hanging. I don't know

425
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 3: if the word, but you can kind of see all

426
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: the little things that describe you. How you customize your

427
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: car driving to that grocery store, okay, and imagine how

428
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 3: long that trip is, whether it's a short trip you're

429
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 3: in and out or maybe a little bit of a drive,

430
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 3: depending on where you live. You park your car. It's

431
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 3: a good day, sun is out, it's great. Whether you

432
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 3: have a spot right in the beginning, so you're happy,

433
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 3: you're ready off to a good start. You get out,

434
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 3: you go into that grocery store and you're shopping around

435
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 3: and you're buying maybe food that you like, maybe things

436
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: that you have on your list, maybe things you want

437
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: to try, something new. And then you're gonna go to

438
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 3: the candy section. You have a sweet tooth this day,

439
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 3: and you don't feel like cookies or chocolate. You want

440
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 3: like some kind of candy, and can we fruity? Maybe

441
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 3: something fruity you have chocolate or fruity, and you're looking

442
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: through the candy store, and I want you to visualize

443
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 3: as you're looking at that aisle buying an item. Can

444
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 3: you see that aisle and you see how many options

445
00:17:58,880 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 3: are there?

446
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: Probably hmmm, I'm trying to think what would I want? Okay, gotcha?

447
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 3: And you remember that item? Okay, and you're gonna pick

448
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 3: it up and you're gonna buy it. Hey, Now what

449
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have you do. I'm gonna have you close

450
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: your eyes for a moment, so I want you to

451
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 3: visualize it. So I'm gonna take out the gifts so

Speaker 3: she doesn't see. And you picked up that item. Okay.

453
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: On the count of three, you're gonna open your eyes

454
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: and say that item that you bought. Okay, okay, one, two, three.

455
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: Nerds Gummy cluster.

Speaker 3: Nerds to everyone back home. I have Nerds gummy clusters.

474
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 3: we were looking through with Dan earlier, were saying we

475
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 3: need to buy a gift as well. Dan, with me earlier,

476
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: had these gifts with you. Do you remember your other gift?

477
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,679
Speaker 2: My other gift, the gift that you needed to remember

478
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: you have a gift.

479
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, there's one more gift for the audience back home.

480
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 3: Angela picked another gift to add on to the gummy

481
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 3: clusters and the ginger and that and what was the gift?

482
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: Say it it was?

483
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: I think it was Swedish fish.

484
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 3: Eminem's. I'm holding eminems, she said, Eminem's. That's autocorrect. I'm

485
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 3: sorry it was Swedish fish.

486
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: I think so.

487
00:19:54,920 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, we can read now, I'm kidding Swedish fish.

488
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 3: Do you like Swedish fish?

489
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: Not really, but it's what I picked on.

490
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 3: The Okay, could you cut your hands for me? Do

491
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 3: you like Eminems? Though? Yeah, that's what I'm going to do.

492
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to rip the m and ms and I'm

493
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 3: going to pour in the Swedish fish in the m

494
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: and ms. For those back home, we had Swedish fish

495
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 3: in the m and ms.

496
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: Can I eat these?

497
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 3: Yes?

498
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: You know what's crazy? I also want to know how

499
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 2: did you manage to have that packaging so it looked

500
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: like a fresh pack of Eminem's. It's an Eminem's package.

501
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: But when he opened it, all the Swedish fish poured out.

502
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 2: And before we started, he asked me to choose a number.

503
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 3: I choose a random, random.

504
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: Number and the number I chose was sixty three and

505
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: I was a completely random number.

506
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: And it says sweetish fish next to that number. And

507
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: here they are. I feel like, if I eat this,

508
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: it's good luck? Is it?

509
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: That's what Dan would say?

510
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: Is it Dan?

511
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 3: He said it.

512
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: They're fresh too and nice and chewed. Did not the

513
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: stale taste in one The only only amazing. I'm not

514
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: gonna lie because I was like, it's not looking good.

515
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you. Now we get the fun part

516
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 3: the audience is on their toes. I've got some mind red.

517
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 3: So now we're going to do a trick where everyone

518
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 3: back home, hopefully you have your deck of cards can

519
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 3: join us. Okay, Angela, I have a deck of cards

520
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 3: for you, and I'm also holding a deck of cards.

521
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 3: Now for you, I made it easier. I sorted them

522
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 3: in pairs. Okay, And for anyone back home, all you're

523
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 3: gonna have to do is grab four pairs of cards.

524
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: So for example, a pair would be like a two

525
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 3: of hearts and a two of diamonds. Because they're red.

526
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: You could choose any four pairs you like, and you

527
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: could just drop them onto the table. So everyone back home,

528
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 3: whatever four.

529
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Pairs you like, you know, I gott to pick the queen.

530
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: Yes, can't pick yourself, but will allow it this time.

531
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: And everyone back home, once you have your parents, split

532
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 3: them apart. So for me, I'll make an easy example.

533
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 3: I'm using ace two three four, and I'm using the

534
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: other color, the same color, so the hearts and the

535
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 3: diamonds the two, three and four, So you'd want to

536
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 3: split those up. So one pile ace two three four,

537
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: and then the other pile would be the opposite the pairs. Yes,

538
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: just like that. So once you have your pairs split up,

539
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 3: you can take one one pile, so Ace two, three four,

540
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 3: and you could organize it any way you like, so

541
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 3: however you want to, but make sure you can see

542
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 3: that order. Okay, yep, okay, you want to do it

543
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 3: in that exact order, So just like that.

544
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: Great, maybe I can switch it up.

545
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: You can switch it up, so that's gonna be there.

546
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 3: When you have one pile in a specific order, make

547
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 3: sure that the other four cards the pairs are in

548
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: that same order. So match that up as well.

549
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: Hope I'm being a good student.

550
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: You are, as long as they're the same. So in

551
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 3: your case, you have Jack two, Queen four and then

552
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 3: Jack to and you could square up those two piles. Okay, right,

553
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 3: and everyone back home, hopefully you're following, and you can

554
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 3: put either one on the other, put one on top

555
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: of the other, doesn't matter which one. Now you could

556
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 3: pick that up as well. For those of you back home.

557
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 3: There's this thing in cards or casinos called cutting the cards.

558
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: Are you familiar with cutting the car? So what do

559
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 3: you do? You hold it like this in a dealer's grip,

560
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 3: and you could take a chunk of cards and you

561
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 3: can put them to the bottom and just just like that.

562
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 3: That's how we're gonna cut. So you can do as

563
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 3: many cuts as you like, taking a chunk from the

564
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 3: top and putting them in the bottom. Do not shuffler mix.

565
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 3: We're just doing clean cuts.

566
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: Perfect okay.

567
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 3: Great. Now what we're gonna do. We're gonna take the

568
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 3: top card and we're gonna put it on the bottom.

569
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: Okay, very good.

570
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: Now the next one, we're gonna take the top two cards.

571
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 3: We're gonna hold them as one, and we're gonna put

572
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 3: them to the bottom.

573
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: Okay.

574
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 3: Great. Now we're gonna take the top three cards three okay,

575
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 3: hold them as one hip square that up, okay, and

576
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 3: you can put them anywhere in the middle anywhere you want,

577
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: just like that. Great, And now that top card, leave

578
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 3: it aside. That'll be our card forli Great. Now, what

579
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 3: we're gonna do this is your choice. You could choose

580
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 3: one card, two cards, or three from the top and

581
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 3: that'll be in one pile again okay, and you can

582
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 3: make sure they stay together. You can put them anywhere

583
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 3: in the middle, just like that. Good. Now, that top

584
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 3: card you can replace it with a card in the deck.

585
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 3: So the top card in your hand, you can move

586
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 3: it aside, okay, and you can grab another card from

587
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 3: the deck from your deck right there deck. Yeah, the

588
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 3: cards that were in play, and you just take a

589
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,120
Speaker 3: random one and put that on top. Hopefully we didn't

590
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 3: get rid of your partner. Now that we've done that again,

591
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 3: this will be your choice. You can do one card,

592
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 3: two card, or three cards from the top, however many

593
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 3: you like, and just put them away. We don't want them,

594
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 3: put them put them away somewhere. We'll grab that now.

595
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 3: This is a trick about pairs. And Valentine's Day was

596
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 3: recently Ten's Days about love and romance. So we're gonna

597
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 3: do this. We're gonna take the top card and put

598
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 3: it to the bottom as we spell romance. So what

599
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 3: I mean by that is the top card, we put

600
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: it to the bottom, and that'll be the R, and

601
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 3: then the next card will be the O, and then

602
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: the M, and then the A, then the N, then

603
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 3: the C and then the EA. You're kind of forming

604
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 3: this romance and hopefully back home you're falling along now again, partners,

605
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 3: and Valentine's is about romance. It's about love and maybe

606
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 3: for those younger audiences. You might not know this game,

607
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 3: but there's a game called she loves Me. With the

608
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 3: rose petals you pluck them saying she loves me, she

609
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: loves me. So what we're gonna do is we're gonna

610
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 3: play that game. When it's she loves me, we put

611
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: it to the bottom, and if she loves me not,

612
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 3: we get it rid of it. So we'll start so

613
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 3: she loves me, the top card goes to the bottom. Okay,

614
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 3: she loves me not. We just take the next top

615
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 3: card and put it away, and then we keep going

616
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 3: she loves me, she loves me, not she loves me,

617
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,360
Speaker 3: she loves me, not card she loves me, she loves

618
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: me not. Well, because we did random number of cards

619
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: it was one, two or three, so everyone might run

620
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 3: out earlier or okay, later, but once you keep going

621
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 3: through she loves me, she loves me not. Once you

622
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: have one card left, you just leave it with your pile,

623
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: and on the count of three, everyone will turn their

624
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 3: cards over. One, two, three, We have a perfect pair. Amazing,

625
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,120
Speaker 3: and everyone back home. Whether you did lesser and more cards,

626
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 3: you should also have a pair.

627
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: Now, how were people supposed to follow along and do that? Trick.

628
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 3: Well, well, I was very clear it's in the in

629
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 3: the tricks.

630
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: No, but I mean like this will work for anybody.

631
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: They will work for anyone. If you take your cards

632
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 3: and you listen to what I say, then you'll do it.

633
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 3: So again, what we did was we had the four pairs,

634
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 3: so we split up the pairs. So two pile is

635
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 3: basically the same, right my use my example, ace two

636
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: three four, So I had one two three four. That

637
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 3: was the order I wanted the first pile. So make

638
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 3: sure your other pile matches one two, three four and square.

639
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: Both piles up and then you can put them on top.

640
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: So my cards meshed what your cards were doing. Also,

641
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: you in the beginning.

642
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 3: In the beginning, the two pairs are in the same order.

643
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 3: So in the first group before your four was the

644
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,640
Speaker 3: second card. The second group before it's also the second card.

645
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: I want to make sure people do it right. You

646
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: also have to know how to spell romance.

647
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: Yes, but we did it. We did it. We did

648
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 3: it together. So when you play it back, just just listen,

649
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 3: listen and follow along and you'll see each step that

650
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 3: we did.

651
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: That's amazing.

652
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: The only things everyone might be different is at the

653
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: beginning when we were cutting the cards, you might cut once,

654
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 3: someone else might cut a few times, it doesn't matter.

655
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,879
Speaker 3: Then the next step we took a card. Everyone followed along.

656
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 3: Then we did two, everyone fall along, then three. Then

657
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 3: I gave choices. So that's why we were off because

658
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 3: I said you could do one, two, or three cards.

659
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 2: So if you did that, thought I messed up. I

660
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 2: don't even understand how this works, you know what I mean? Like,

661
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 2: I know people are like, how does that even happen?

662
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: And the second question I have is can you gamble that?

663
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 2: And are you able to? Like?

664
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: Are you good at doing that?

665
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: Ends on how good my disguise is on the deck.

666
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: Because it feels like I don't know is counting cards

667
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: part of this or a.

668
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 3: Counting cards is not part of this? But gambling it's

669
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 3: legal to account cards. You just don't want to be

670
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 3: making too much money. Well it's legal, so you can

671
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: do it.

672
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: But they can.

673
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: They can. It is their choice. They could, they could

674
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 3: warn you, they could ban you, or they could do

675
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 3: other things.

676
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 2: That's crazy. I don't even understand how that worked. I'm

677
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 2: going to have to do some research, you know, me chat, GPT.

678
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: Why did this work?

679
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 3: Yes? Well, we had a perfect match for you with

680
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: me and anyone that followed along. If it didn't work

681
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,120
Speaker 3: for you, you're just bad at listening to instructions.

682
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: Can I look at the other card?

683
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 3: Yes you can, those were the ones you used.

684
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, this looks real.

685
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 3: Yes, you could do this with any cards, anyone, back home, whatever,

686
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 3: even if you you know, sometimes I get calls and

687
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 3: people say, hey, can you do a trick on FaceTime?

688
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 3: I'm like sure, and I asked them do you have

689
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: a deck of cards? And sometimes people tell me I

690
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 3: don't have any cards. I have Uno cards. If you

691
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 3: have Uno cards, you could also do this trick follow

692
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 3: along the same way. Again, your pairs have to match,

693
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 3: so if you picked a reverse, then the pair would

694
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 3: be the reverse. If you picked a two, the pair

695
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: would be the two. So any deck of cards, Uno cards,

696
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 3: playing cards, if you have other card games where you

697
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: could make pairs, this trick will also work for you.

698
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: Geesh, this is amazing.

699
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: Thank you.

700
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know how that worked, but.

701
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: You know, how is it when like you're an event

702
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 2: and people are sometimes can be a little drunk and

703
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 2: rambunctious while you're trying, and you know, what I mean, like,

704
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 2: has that ever been an issue?

705
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you have those groups and you just

706
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: kind of make sure you don't do that person privately,

707
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 3: Like I wouldn't want the drunk rambunction of person one

708
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 3: on one, but two, one, three, one four.

709
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: One everybody does can calm it down.

710
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly. But a lot of times, you know, the

711
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 3: drunk person at first, it's just their drunkness acting, it's

712
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 3: not them, and so when they see the trick or

713
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 3: when they're amazed, they're suddenly a big raver. Like I've

714
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: had it be like the case where you know, i

715
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: might be leaving a club and I'm talking to the

716
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 3: dormant because he's my friend. I'm saying hi, and you

717
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: know this group, but like maybe like two girls and

718
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 3: a guy will come out and they're friends with the dormant,

719
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: and I'm like, oh, show them something before they leave.

720
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: And this happened to me about a week and a

721
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 3: half ago, but this does happen a lot. And I

722
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 3: don't know the guy. I don't know these two girls,

723
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 3: but I'm showing them a trick and guys like she's married,

724
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 3: she's what I'm like, And the dorman is like just

725
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: relaxed bro like yeah, because he knows that they're not random.

726
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 3: And I'm like, oh, just let me do the trick.

727
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: He's like, well no, no, no, she's gotta go. And there

728
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,400
Speaker 3: the girls are like just let him do the thing.

729
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: And I do the trick. It's amazing, like do a

730
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 3: do it? Trying to tell the guy to watch a

731
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: trick and he's like, nah, I don't want to, blah

732
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 3: blah blah. And then he does a trick and then

733
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 3: he does the trick and he's like, did you see that?

734
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 3: Do it again? Do it now? He's like five minutes later,

735
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 3: he's like he wants to stay. He doesn't want to

736
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 3: go with, he doesn't want them to leave. He's like,

737
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 3: let's do more. Like it's not the person per se,

738
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 3: it's just that's just how magic is perceived. There's not

739
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 3: really a frame of reference for magic, and there's no

740
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 3: such thing as what's good magic, what's bad magic? What

741
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 3: is magic? Like I said, if I come up to

742
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 3: you and I say, hey, I'm a magician, I don't

743
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 3: really know what that means. People usually seen tiktoks or

744
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: TV or you know.

745
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: Editing like where's my wallet?

746
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one that one gotta be more sneaky on Yeah,

747
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 3: you just got to show them. I think that's what

748
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: I do is I show it very well that what

749
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 3: I'm doing is not whatever you think magic is. And

750
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 3: I actually never say I'm a magician. That's my whole

751
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 3: thing is when I approach someone, I just do it,

752
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 3: and by the time it's done and you've put the

753
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 3: two and two together, you realize that what I did

754
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 3: is fun. It's not whatever would have went in your

755
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 3: head if I had just set I'm a magician, because

756
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 3: that way I get a lot more rejections.

757
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: And one last thing I want to ask you, are

758
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 2: there new tricks that you come up with or are

759
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 2: there things that you learned that already exists, or what's

760
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 2: the combination?

761
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: Like how do you look everything?

762
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: I like to create. I always create new stuff, especially

763
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 3: you know, if as I'm growing my brand right now

764
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 3: and I'm doing a lot of stuff like this, like

765
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: you know, I wouldn't want to be doing the same

766
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 3: tricks on radio and podcasts and TV. I also don't

767
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 3: want to be doing my generic ones. I also don't

768
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 3: want to be doing ones I always do, so I

769
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 3: try to come up with something cool, something fun, something

770
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 3: that would really enjoy for the team. I come up

771
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 3: with well stuff, I tweak old things, things, I add

772
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 3: in things at times like I might be impromptu, you know,

773
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 3: like yesterday, I have a trick that's one of my

774
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 3: regulars is where I make the cards disappear. And I'm

775
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 3: going around a room when I'm doing that trick, and

776
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: then I this one girl just had her phone so open.

777
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 3: I stole it and then I pulled it out of

778
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 3: her friend's here as a joke. I was like, hey,

779
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 3: look behind her ear, and they're thinking I'm joking. I'm like, oh,

780
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 3: it's your phone. And then I'm doing the trick. And

781
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 3: then I took and then and I really just do

782
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 3: that as a joke, but this time I took it

783
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 3: again and I was like, oh, look it's back there.

784
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 3: So then from my mind was like when I got

785
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 3: to the point where I'm doing a trick where the

786
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 3: cards disappeared, I was like, what if I take her

787
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: phone a third time? Because now I can make a

788
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 3: joke like do you know where they went? And they're like, no,

789
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 3: where are the cards? And they point to her like,

790
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 3: oh are they behind there? I'm like, yeah, oh no,

791
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: it's your phone again and like, wait what? So I

792
00:32:43,720 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 3: threw in like a little gag a joke into that trick,

793
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 3: which made it a new trick. It's fun. I'm not

794
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 3: necessarily gonna be doing it that way all the time,

795
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 3: but it was fun.

796
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of like being a stand up. Yeah, like

797
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: you adapted the crowd.

798
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 3: I think my magic's very you know, the equivalent of

799
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 3: like crowd work and common would be what I do.

800
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 3: I'm very imprompt too. I don't plan a lot of

801
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: my things. I don't know what I'm going to do

802
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 3: or say. I might know the tricks, I don't know

803
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 3: how I'm going to present them. I feel it for

804
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: the crowd. Younger crowds that might be more jokes, more flirty,

805
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 3: older crowds that might be straight to the point or

806
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: less talking. Maybe they can't hear, or maybe they just

807
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 3: wouldn't understand if I'm joking. So I just wanted a confusion.

808
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw the mom where it turns into a

809
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 2: goldfish where you.

810
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the one said I'm the best for it.

811
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 3: Oh wow, he ran away.

812
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: He ran away for that? What happens to the goldfish.

813
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: I have an aquarium at home, so I have a tank.

814
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: People are like, oh, that's in I'm like, he's a

815
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 3: he works for me, he's ten ninety nine. You know,

816
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 3: we're good.

817
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 2: You know what, since we said stand up comedy, what

818
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: about stealing tricks? I know that's a thing with comedians

819
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 2: where people steal jokes, but what about stealing tricks?

820
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you're going to see overlap with that depends

821
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: I think that if you're going to steal a trick,

822
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 3: it depends on what the trick is, because in magic,

823
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 3: it's really hard to prove something's yours. It's almost impossible.

824
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: Like if I create a trick and then you steal it,

825
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: it's almost impossible for me to sue you because it's very,

826
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 3: very hard to prove that that trick is originally mine.

827
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 3: The intellectual property on a magic trick, it's there's only

828
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 3: like one case in history of magic tricks someone winning

829
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 3: an IP claim, and it's very difficult because everything does

830
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 3: come down to the fact that the basics, like the

831
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 3: very fundamentals of it, goes back hundreds of thousands, if

832
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 3: not thousands years.

833
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: Magic is very old, been around forever.

834
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: It's kind of like something that, like you said, no

835
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: matter what language you speak, even if you don't speak

836
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 2: a language. It's something that people can like look and

837
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: still be in awe of, even if they can't understand

838
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: what you're saying.

839
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, And they're even like some people their whole

840
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 3: job is their magic inventors, which means they're magicians that

841
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 3: they don't perform. They like they're very creative people. They

842
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 3: create magic tricks and then sell them to other magicians.

843
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 3: They're like, I created this, buy it for me for

844
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: this price, and you could have it. You could have

845
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 3: the trick and how it works and all the instant

846
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 3: and like some of these are really good magicians flock

847
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 3: to it, and so you might find a lot of

848
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 3: magicians doing the same trick. Sometimes it's just a trick

849
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 3: that's historic, everyone knows it. Sometimes it's that's just the

850
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,280
Speaker 3: hottest thing on the market. Magicians are terrible window shoppers.

851
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 3: Like you bring a magician to like a convention, and

852
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 3: they're going to spend so much money on tricks because

853
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 3: the idea is like, oh, this is so good, I'm good,

854
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 3: I love this trick, I'm going to use it. I'm

855
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 3: going to do it. And then you have a bookshelf

856
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: of tricks that you haven't even opened, Like they're in

857
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 3: the box, you've never even touched them. You get this,

858
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 3: which is why I stay away from magic shops and

859
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 3: as much as I can, I sometimes need to if

860
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 3: I need refills or stuff. But that's why I prefer

861
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 3: to make my own stuff, because I will go down

862
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: a very bad spending spree and I don't have the

863
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 3: space for all these things. Like I see things, I'm like,

864
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 3: this is so good, this is great, but this much

865
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 3: money and I'm probably not going to use it for

866
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: a year. I don't. I don't know even if I

867
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 3: use it a month from now, that's already not.

868
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought of all this?

869
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: And who would have ever thought you would have went

870
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 2: from playing professional soccer to being a magician and a mentalist.

871
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: I literally spent my whole life and my family making

872
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 3: their whole lives.

873
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: Catered around because that's not easy.

874
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 3: Well, my whole life went and like the whole family

875
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 3: was completely invested in everything they did to train and

876
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: prepare my legs for me to end up having a

877
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 3: career that's very focused on my hands. I'd never honed

878
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 3: in on football or basketball, or baseball or lacrosse, Like

879
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 3: no handsports. It was soccer only. Everything every all the

880
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 3: money we had was spent towards training and programs and diets.

881
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 3: And then now I make money with it.

882
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: What did they think when you first told them this

883
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 1: is what I'm doing.

884
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 3: Well, it was right before COVID, so as the interest peak,

885
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 3: COVID hit. So now I'm in my house just spending

886
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 3: all day doing like random stuff. The only thing I

887
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 3: really could do is like social media work. Now I

888
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 3: do virtual shows and I you know, I have companies

889
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 3: call me when they have like, you know, say, a

890
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: team where some of the people are scattered, a zoom

891
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: call and I do a full show virtual magic. I

892
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 3: mean radio stuff is the hardest magic for sure because

893
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 3: the visual plays a pack.

894
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: But I mean, but we do have a YouTube channel

895
00:36:58,920 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: way up.

896
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 3: With you, so you could yeah, and I think that,

897
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 3: you know. Then I was just doing all this stuff

898
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 3: and my parents like, why are you wasting your time?

899
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 3: Like there's nothing that I don't really have anything else

900
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 3: to do. It's COVID, Like what am I gonna do? Right?

901
00:37:09,320 --> 00:37:11,399
Speaker 3: But they're like, why are you wasting your time?

902
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 1: This and not.

903
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 3: But then the checks started coming in, and then they

904
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 3: started getting bigger and bigger and bigger, and now they

905
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 3: just they just they just they just don't even ask.

906
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: Well, it looks like the cards lined up.

907
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 3: Well, it's always good. My job's easy. No, my job's easy.

908
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 3: You see. I get all the credit. But you're the magician.

909
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,880
Speaker 3: You did that yourself. I didn't touch your cards. You

910
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 3: did the trick. It worked, so I basically took credit

911
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 3: for all your magic. So thank you for that.

912
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 1: You're a good mentalist. Well, thank you so much. And
