Boring that's what they 4 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 2: seem like from first glance or first listen. But really 5 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: they are concealing something from us. It might be a 6 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: naughty secret, the most bizarre profession you've ever heard of, 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 2: or a hobby that will make you go, how the 8 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 2: bloody hell did they get into that? And it gets 9 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: even better because I have no idea who these people 10 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 2: are or what they're keeping concealed. I've got to do 11 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 2: a bit of detective work to figure it out for us. 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 2: Welcome to Concealed with Art Simone.

So 67 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: had the business for about six or seven years, and 68 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 3: then then that I went belly up. 69 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 2: Oh okay, so it didn't go well, Okay, failed business. 70 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: Writing that down as well. 71 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:31,239 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to ask you three questions, and from 72 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 2: the answers to those three questions, I have to try 73 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 2: and work out what it is you're concealing from me. 74 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 2: So question number one, do you speak any other languages? 75 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 3: So?

If you know any German, don't start speaking 78 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: to me in German because I won't be able to 79 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:55,520 Speaker 3: interpret what you say. There is another language that I understand. However, 80 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: if I tell you, it might give a little bit 81 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 3: too much away, so I'm still going to keep it 82 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: a secret. 83 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: I reckon you can talk Simlish.

But the. 99 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,599 Speaker 1: Third question I have for you is what would your 100 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: superpower be? 101 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 3: Am I only allowed one? Or can I have two? Yeah? 102 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: You can have two, that's all right. 103 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. One of them would be to be able to 104 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 3: read people's minds, and then the other one would be 105 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: I reckon, be really cool if you could stop time? 106 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: Stop it?

Yes, 111 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 3: I can freeze time and freeze aging without the use 112 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 3: of any botox. 113 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: That's agreed. 114 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: All right, that's fun then, Okay, as long as I'm 115 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: happy to get wiser, just not older visually. Okay, I 116 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: think I've hit my peak and it's all downhill from now. Okay, 117 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 2: let's recap failed business. 118 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 3: Let's recap nothing interesting about this guy visually wonderful picture 119 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 3: of him on this podcast. 120 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: Actually this is the joy of the podcast. 121 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: Okay, you just you know, you never know what's going 122 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: to come out of my mouth. So no see from 123 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: the Gold Coast former carpenter went tits up. 124 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: Two kids like to serve. So you're active, good for you, 125 00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: busybody like that. 126 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 2: You can almost speak a bit of German, but then 127 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: you can also understand another language that you can't tell 128 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 2: me simlish clearly. Okay, you're skeptical of the psychic realm, 129 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: yet you want to read people's minds. I'm just you 130 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 2: are just really challenging me today, aren't you, Anthony. 131 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: Okay, so. 132 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to say that you have actually you've put 133 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 2: up a few of these things to like throw me 134 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: off the sand. But I reckon you are the inventor 135 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: of the SIMS. I reckon you like work in computer computers. 136 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: That's why, like your setup's really nice today, and you 137 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 2: you're like actually a secret computer nerd and you invented 138 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 2: the SIMS and simlish, am I right? 139 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 3: No? And I'm a friend. You put me down, and 140 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 3: you've now even referred to me as a. 141 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: Nerd computer nerd it's a difference. 142 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 3: But you're wrong. I'm a mentalist, which means that I 143 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: read people's minds for a living. So I've been a 144 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: mentalist for or just over twenty years. Got into it 145 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 3: through doing magic and got more interested in the human 146 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: mind and the way that it works. A mentalist indeed, 147 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 3: a mentalist? 148 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: What the facts are? Mentalist? Ah? 149 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 2: So Anthony is not the inventor of simlish. No, he 150 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 2: is a mentalist, and I have no idea what the 151 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: hell that is. It just sounds like something my mum 152 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 2: would call me, Mom. 153 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: Are you listening? All right? We have just met Anthony 154 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: and I found out he is a mentalist. 155 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: Anthony, what the fuck is a mentalist? Please tell me? 156 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 2: I want to know. I want to know. 157 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 3: I describe it as I lie for a living, and 158 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: I lie by pretending to be psychic. Can'ce the reason 159 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: why I'm skeptical about the psychic industry because I give 160 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: the illusion of being able to possess psychic powers when 161 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 3: I know that there's a method behind what I'm doing. 162 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 3: The way that I like to say is you've got 163 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: magic and hypnosis, and mentalism sort of lives in the 164 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 3: middle of those two things. So no one goes to sleep, 165 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 3: and well, at least I hope no one goes to 166 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 3: sleep in my show. So it's not a hypnosis show, 167 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: but it's not so much a sleight of hand show. 168 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: It's more of using the people as the props. And 169 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: this is the reason why I say that I'm not psychickers, 170 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: because there is a method to everything that I do. Yes, 171 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: it's just the fun that is trying to work out 172 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 3: what that method is. Is it misdirection, is it some 173 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: sort of linguistic thing that I've said, Is it that 174 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 3: I'm reading the other person. There's all these different things 175 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 3: going on, and I think that's what makes it so 176 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: interesting for an audience because they don't ever quite know. 177 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 1: So what do you exactly do? 178 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: So if I'm at a conference and Anthony you come 179 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: out and go, hello, I'm your mentalist today, what happens? 180 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 3: It depends on what I'm doing, So it'd either be 181 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 3: doing a show or a keynote. So if I'm doing 182 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 3: a show, I would come out and then perform demonstrations 183 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 3: of apparently reading people's minds, well while the entire time 184 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 3: saying I'm not actually reading your mind. If I'm doing 185 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 3: a keynote, then what I would do is I'll come 186 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: out and I will use my demonstrations of mentalism to 187 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 3: share one of my other skills, which was the other 188 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 3: language that I understand, which is body language. Ah. 189 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: I see, yeah, it almost sounds like a sideshow thing. 190 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 3: Yees. So it's pretty much an act that was very 191 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 3: popular back in the vaudeville days, where you would have 192 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 3: the mentalist stand on stage and apparently read the minds 193 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 3: of everybody in the audience. So it's been around for years. 194 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 3: I think it's made quite popular by the TV show 195 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: The Mentalist with Simon Baker, where he used mentalism powers 196 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 3: to go around and solve crimes. I don't solve many crimes. 197 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: I just stand on stage and be entertainings. 198 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's er a performer essentially. 199 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 3: I am former, not a computer nerd. 200 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 2: So why do you like to go like to essentially 201 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: be honest and say I'm a mentalist and I'm actually 202 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 2: not reading your mind? 203 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: Like why do you do that? Instead of being. 204 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 2: Like, ooh, I'm a psychic and look at me, go like, 205 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: why did you choose that instead of the other. 206 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: For exactly the reason as to the way that you 207 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 3: you've just described it. Of waving your arms and going, oh, 208 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: look at me, now, that's not me as as a performer, 209 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 3: as you've already pointed out, I'm very I'm very plain. 210 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 3: There is nothing special about me. Wow. 211 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: You're really holding on to it now, aren't. 212 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 3: You, Anthony, I've been emotionally scarred. 213 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, they've got a bruised ego here everyone, 214 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: I'm bruis ego. Nah, you're fine. So you like that 215 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 2: style of it. How did you get into it then? Like, 216 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 2: were you a performer before any of this? No, because 217 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: it's like a big jump to go from being a 218 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: former carpenter to now standing on a stage in front 219 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 2: of people. 220 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: I suppose in a way you could look at it 221 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 3: as I've gone from doing carpentry to performing miracles. It's 222 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 3: quite biblical in some sort of senses. But I'm not 223 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:41,840 Speaker 3: a natural performer. If you had asked me when I 224 00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 3: was eighteen, if I had stood up on stage in 225 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 3: front of a group of people, you would have got 226 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: a very quick answer. If not really nervous, really nervous, 227 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,719 Speaker 3: socially awkward. When I was younger, it's one of the 228 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 3: reasons why I got into magic. Having magic was a 229 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 3: way to cheap, being interesting if you were down the 230 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 3: pub because it run and have a conversation. It can 231 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 3: we are to cook card any card. 232 00:10:58,880 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: No, I totally get it. 233 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: It means yeah, you can be like, hey, don't look 234 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: at me, look at the magic trick. I'm doing it 235 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 2: for the same reason I'm covered in glittering makeup and 236 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 2: here because it's fun, and it can be like. 237 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: Don't look at me, look at this. 238 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: So how did you go from doing magic at the 239 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 2: pub to making it your full time job? 240 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 3: So when I had the carpentry business back in the UK, 241 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 3: one of my clients used to run a cabaret night 242 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 3: once a month and he heard that I did a 243 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: bit of magic and asked if I'd go along and 244 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 3: do a few tricks at his cabaret night. Now, this 245 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: was the first time that I'd ever been asked to 246 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 3: do it in what I would call it professional setting, 247 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 3: actually being asked to do magic at an event rather 248 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 3: than doing it at a pub because I'm trying to 249 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 3: impress somebody. And I was that nervous in the lead 250 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 3: up to the first gig that I had night sweats 251 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: for about a week and the lead up to the event, 252 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: you could run your hands down my body and you 253 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: would got sweat come flying off it. Terrible. It was, 254 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 3: It was terrible. I was really nervous, like that whole 255 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 3: horrible brain that starts to kick in inside your mind 256 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 3: that tells you that you don't know what you're doing, 257 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 3: that fight out. This was a thing. On the night 258 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 3: of the event, I arrived early, and I've been used 259 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 3: to having a couple of couple of drinks to give 260 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,719 Speaker 3: me a bit of Dutch courage before getting out. I 261 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 3: drank two bottles of white wine before I got up 262 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,239 Speaker 3: to do the first trip. 263 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: Ever. 264 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: Mother, I'm going to be making this third bottle of 265 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: wine disappear. 266 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: That's what I'd do. 267 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, but I got pulled back for the next about 268 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 3: year and a half, so I couldn't have done too 269 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: bad a job in that first one. And then that 270 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: one thing led to another. Obviously, It's like anything in 271 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 3: this entertainment. Well, do you have to do those really 272 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 3: shit gigs? 273 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: Tell me about it. 274 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: I've had my fair share of shit gigs where absolutely 275 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 2: everything goes wrong. 276 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: But do you ever get it wrong? What's the worst 277 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: thing that's happened? 278 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,439 Speaker 3: I don't know. Okay, this was the worst gig that 279 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 3: I ever been booked for. So this was back in 280 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: the back in the early days of my performing careers. 281 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: This was I wasn't that comfortable on stage At this 282 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 3: point in tom I used to do a lot of roving, 283 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 3: and an agent had booked me for a wedding in Sydney, 284 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 3: and I did do my due diligence and ask enough questions. Now, 285 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: mentalism involves a lot of spoken word. There's a lot 286 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: of you having to understand what it is that I'm saying. 287 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 3: I was booked for a Vietnamese wedding for four hundred people, 288 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 3: and only about fifty of them spoke fluent English. It 289 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 3: was the longest half an hour of my. 290 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: That would have seemed like eternity. You'd be like, oh, 291 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 1: do I get out of here. 292 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,199 Speaker 3: The other story which I have, there's a picture behind 293 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 3: me of a routine which I do. It's it's kind 294 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 3: of the thing that I've been known for, which is 295 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: playing Russian Roulette with nail guns. So four nail guns, 296 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: one of them gets loaded, I read the person's mind, 297 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 3: and then three of the nail guns are fired at me. 298 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 3: What the fuck? 299 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: What's this got to do with reading minds? Why are 300 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: you playing with guns? Now? What is this nail guns on? 301 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 3: You should know theeter. That's what it's all about. It's 302 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: my moment. 303 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 2: I'm trying to just bridge the How do you go 304 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 2: from reading someone's mind to them being like, actually, I 305 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 2: could get four nail guns and like almost like stabbed 306 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 2: myself with one, Like what hell ha. 307 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: So this piece, this Russi Roulette piece, came about because 308 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 3: I was doing a TV piece and I needed something 309 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 3: big and good and something that would be memorable. So 310 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,319 Speaker 3: I've always liked the idea of Russian Roulette type of effect. 311 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 3: Me being a carpenter in my former life obviously lends 312 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 3: itself to nail guns. The whole thing kind of worked out. 313 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: See that's clever though, because if you had started this 314 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 2: interview with a nail gun next to you, I would 315 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 2: have thought you were very remarkable, just saying so, I 316 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: can understand why you wouldn't want to use it for 317 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 2: like a big TV gig, etc. 318 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: So you know you should have brought the nail gun. 319 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: Maybe I would have had a different opinion. 320 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 3: Well, okay, I'm sorry for not bringing her ol guns. 321 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 3: So these nail guns, they're all fired into me. Some 322 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 3: of the three of them are empty. One of them 323 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 3: is loaded. I had one of them fired into me. Now, 324 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 3: these nail guns have gone a little pin that pushes 325 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 3: the nails. When the nail comes out, it's got a pin. Now, 326 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 3: even the empty ones have still got the pin inside them. 327 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 3: So the person fired the gun into my stomach, but 328 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 3: the gun had been bent, so the firing pin pierced 329 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: my skin and I started bleeding. On stage. Everyone thought 330 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 3: I'd been shot. I was no, I haven't been shot. 331 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 3: I haven't been shot. 332 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: It wasn't the one with the nail. I haven't flicked 333 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: up yet. Don't worry. So have you stopped using a 334 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 1: nail gun or no? 335 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 3: I still use a nail gun. 336 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 1: How do you even come up with the idea to 337 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: use a nail gun? Like, how do these tricks start? 338 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 2: Do you just sit down and try to work out 339 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: some tricks and test out to see if they'll work. 340 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 3: In a way. Yes, So I would just I would 341 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 3: sort of think in my head what would make a 342 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 3: really good show piece. I would take a collection of 343 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 3: all the techniques that I know in order to achieve 344 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 3: a certain outcome. Now, there are some mentalism effects out 345 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 3: there that the other mentalists have shared, so they could 346 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: be their routines. But then then I'll put my spin 347 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 3: on it. I'll put my personality that average nothing extraordinary personality. 348 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 3: I'll then put into the trick. 349 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 2: Oh really, never upset a mentalist. This is this is 350 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 2: probably a mentalist game. Now, this is the game now 351 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 2: trying to wear me down, make me feel guilty. 352 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 3: An't you you would drop it? Now I will drop it. 353 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: I'm still confused how this works. So you don't read 354 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 2: people's minds, but you kind of do. Are you just 355 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: manipulating people? Then it is a mixture of different things. 356 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 3: There will be some things where I'm using linguistic deception 357 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 3: to make you say certain things. Other times I might 358 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: be using hypnotic suggestion, so the words hypnotist produced but 359 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 3: without putting you to sleep. Yeah. Other times it's down 360 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 3: to statistics. It's a blend of all those different techniques 361 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 3: woven together and understanding how humans behave that then allows 362 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 3: me to create that illusion that I might be in 363 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 3: control of your thoughts or being able to pluck thoughts 364 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 3: out of your mind, which is the reason why I 365 00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 3: find it's so interesting because makes me quite irritating. 366 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: To be honest, what is the magic and mentalism community? Like, 367 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: are they all right or are they all like a 368 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: bunch of like protective people that are like, no, don't 369 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: talk to me, you might steal my trick. 370 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 3: It is a strange world. It is a strange world. 371 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 3: I do think that a lot of people who get 372 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 3: into magic were probably similar to me in that they 373 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 3: might have been slightly socially nervous, socially awkward. So I 374 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 3: think there's a lot of that in the magic world. 375 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 3: You've also got to remember it's a world of secrets. 376 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 3: We try to hide everything. So as you get into 377 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 3: the magic world and you start to build a reputation, 378 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 3: that's when you will start to have that really supportive 379 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 3: community that are helping each other. But at the initial 380 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: stages there is this Yep, you're welcome into the community, 381 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 3: but don't expect to find out lots of secrets straight away. 382 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 3: You've got to show us that you're worthy of having 383 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 3: the secrets. It is a really strange world. 384 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: No, I mean that sounds like the drag community too. 385 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 2: It's like you start as a drag queen, you go, oh, 386 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: how do I do my makeup? And everyone's like, you'll 387 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 2: work it out. Yourself, go on, get out of here, love, 388 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 2: because that's a very secretive thing. You know, we all 389 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 2: have special application techniques. 390 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 3: So is there a lot of rivalry in your world? 391 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: Dalling. 392 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 3: Of course there is in terms of like being accused 393 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 3: of stealing other people's ideas and pagiarism and all this 394 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 3: kind of thing. 395 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 2: Oh, there's a scandal at the moment because someone's stolen 396 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 2: my specific mix of a show that I do and 397 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 2: they're performing it at the moment, and I am very 398 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 2: upset about it. They're going around doing my custom Kylie 399 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 2: Minogue Medali and it's mine because I paid for it 400 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 2: and I organized it. So yes, there's lots of stealing 401 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 2: that happens. 402 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 3: Ah, So what can you do if somebody is stealing 403 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 3: other people's material? Does everyone gang up with their wigs 404 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,959 Speaker 3: and makeup on and chase them with pitchfork? So what happens? 405 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 3: Or did they get outsted on the internet? What happens? 406 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: No, you just get over it. 407 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 2: You just get over it because you know what, you 408 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 2: can take my mix, but you can't take my personality. 409 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 2: So it's fine, you can have it, Love, I needed 410 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 2: a new one anyway. 411 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 3: That's what sets you apart. From it from everybody else 412 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 3: is having that point of difference because it's you who's 413 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 3: doing it. Yeah, anybody could do the trick, but could 414 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 3: they do it like you? 415 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: I think it's time that you did one on me. 416 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: Do you want to do?

Okay, I thought 453 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 3: that you and I had built some rapport. I thought 454 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 3: that we had almost become friends. However, you're now asking 455 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 3: me to slam my hand down on the very bag 456 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 3: that you think has a nail in it. 457 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, but when you put the block in there, you 458 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 2: could have taken the nail.
