00:00Distorting the senses, challenging perception.
00:03You can't trust what you see, even with your own eyes.
00:08Meet the masters of-
00:30Welcome, welcome to an evening of wonder, where anything can happen and nothing is as it seems.
00:48I'm Dean Cain, and you're watching Masters of Illusion.
00:51Now, magic invites us to believe in the extraordinary, to let go of logic and embrace the thrill of surprise.
01:02Tonight, our magicians will take you on a journey that will leave you amazed and spellbound.
01:07I'm excited to be your guide, so let's discover the magic-
01:10Hey, Dean!
01:11Together. Adam Wiley, ladies and gentlemen, yes.
01:14I found it. I found it.
01:15You found it. Yeah.
01:16What were we looking for?
01:17Okay, this is a wishing wallet.
01:19A wishing wallet?
01:20Yeah, it's very empty, until you wish something into it.
01:23Oh.
01:24Like, watch.
01:25Uh, $200.
01:28Hey!
01:29Isn't that great?
01:30Yes!
01:31Can I-
01:32I'm ready to- Can I give a shot?
01:33No.
01:34Oh, it's okay.
01:35Oh!
01:36Okay, I think-
01:39Prepare to be amazed by a magician whose career spans over four decades of performing, writing, and preserving the art of magic.
01:48Known for his innovative routines and classic illusions, he's here to bring you a show filled with wonder and history.
01:55Let's give a warm welcome to the extraordinary, Mike Haveney.
01:58Oh!
01:59Oh!
02:00I know.
02:01I-
02:02It's my fault.
02:04It's my-
02:05I'm not-
02:06I don't- I have- I'm not prepared with any magic.
02:08I haven't had a quick- I haven't had a cup of coffee yet today.
02:11I happen to know this studio has the best coffee in town.
02:14I was driving by and I thought, with your permission, quick cup of coffee-
02:17It takes one minute.
02:18If it's all-
02:19Tell you what.
02:20I take my coffee just like you folks do.
02:22A little bit of cream, a couple of sugars, but I have a very unusual way of stirring it all up.
02:32Not such good seats after all, huh?
02:44Yeah.
02:45Let's get there early, get a good seat.
02:48Nothing to worry about.
02:50Nothing to worry about.
02:51Do you think I look like magic?
02:52This is actually science.
02:54Centrifugal force.
02:57Or as they say in England, aluminum.
03:02You folks got kids at home?
03:08Your kids can try this at home.
03:11Um, perhaps at a friend's house.
03:14And I prefer my coffee with some music.
03:17Anything would help.
03:18Oh yeah!
03:20Here we go.
03:23Cool.
03:36What?
03:37Wait, what?
03:39Hang on.
03:41A little cream.
03:50A little cream.
03:51What?
03:52Here's an amazing drink.
03:53And now...
03:56Man!
03:58I'm back!
03:59Sugar!
04:12Of course, we can eat less and we can eat less, but I don't try and grab anything as a shelter.
04:15Here goes nothing.
04:21Whoa!
04:31That's it.
04:33That's what I'm talking about.
04:36I'll see you later. Bye-bye.
04:45This performer is a master of close-up magic and sleight of hand,
04:49captivating audiences with his precision and creativity.
04:53Please welcome the amazing Nick Dopich.
04:57Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.
04:59Very much so. All right.
05:01Welcome back, everybody. How are we? Everybody good?
05:05Okay, good. All right, good. The perfect answer.
05:07All right, my name is Nick, and this is?
05:08Alicia.
05:09Alicia. All right, we have Alicia.
05:10We're going to do a classic of magic for everybody.
05:12This is a classic of magic.
05:14This right here is what they call the cup and balls trick.
05:16Cup, two separate words.
05:18They'll edit that out, but I hurt myself when I say it.
05:22Hurt myself when I said it, is what I meant to say.
05:24Okay, now this right here is the oldest trick in magic.
05:26It's the oldest trick in the book.
05:28Well, second oldest, that water to wine thing the one guy did, right?
05:33Is his name Jeff something? He came back recently.
05:36Now, normally, you see this game, it's a hustle.
05:39You've seen these before, right?
05:40There's usually one ball, there's three cuffs,
05:42you move it all around, keep your eye on it.
05:43You've been to a baseball game?
05:45All right, good.
05:46It's how you went ahead on a Jumbotron.
05:47But the original version did not use three cups.
05:50It only used one.
05:5050-50, very easy to play.
05:52Alicia, we're going to play this game.
05:53Now, the rules are very simple.
05:54All you do is guess.
05:55You just have to guess if this ball is under the cup
05:57or if the ball is in my pocket.
05:59Those are the two places it can be, okay?
06:01And I'm going to show you how this all works,
06:02and I'm not going to do any of the other jokes, you know?
06:04Okay.
06:04Um, sorry.
06:06I caught myself on that one.
06:07Um, now before we get started, Alicia,
06:10just so you know, this game is not about magic.
06:12This is about psychology, okay?
06:13You'll see what I mean.
06:14You ready to play?
06:15I'm ready.
06:16Alicia.
06:18Where's the ball?
06:20It's in the cup.
06:20Under the cup.
06:21Final answer?
06:22That's my final answer.
06:27Of course, look how nervous you got.
06:28Of course it was under the cup.
06:29Of course it was under the cup.
06:29You saw me put it there, all right?
06:31Now, I do that to prove that point.
06:32Because that little nervousness you feel
06:33right before I pick up the cup,
06:35that's the psychology part.
06:36That's where I get to win the game.
06:37I'm going to get you to talk yourself out of it.
06:39And we all understand why,
06:40because it looked too easy.
06:40If it looks too simple,
06:41you start to second guess yourself.
06:43It's like, it can't be this easy.
06:44It's like when you find good parking.
06:45It's like, this ain't a spot.
06:45No way I got this spot.
06:47Um, so you change your mind,
06:48I steal your money.
06:49Easier I make it look, harder it is.
06:50Alicia, round two.
06:55Where's the ball?
06:55It's in your pocket.
06:56Of course, can't be under the cup.
06:58That'd be impossible.
07:01You can change your mind if you want.
07:03I'm still going to go with the pocket.
07:05She understood the assignment.
07:06Give her a round of applause.
07:07That's two for two.
07:07She's doing good.
07:08Okay, good.
07:08All right, fantastic.
07:09All right, now, come on.
07:11Here's what we're going to do.
07:11Um, now we're going to do it again.
07:14All right, I'll bet some of you still look.
07:15It really is this simple.
07:16All right, really should have ball in a cup.
07:17Other than that, pockets are empty.
07:18You can see.
07:19She can say you can't,
07:20but not like a match.
07:22All right, I'm going to do it again,
07:23but I'll get you to change your mind this time.
07:24I am going to do an extra move, though.
07:26It's this one right here.
07:26Here it comes.
07:27You ready?
07:27Alicia, that move right there
07:34is what the kids today call sus.
07:37Did I say it right?
07:39I didn't know if I had no riz to pull it off.
07:41However, after that sus,
07:44suspicious, I know what it means.
07:46Where's the ball?
07:46Let's do it this way.
07:47Is the ball in the cup?
07:48No.
07:49Of course not.
07:49Exactly.
07:49Now, I did just touch the cup, though,
07:51so I could have done something sneaky.
07:52You can still say cup if you want.
07:53I'm going to say pocketing.
07:55Okay, and that's how you lost your money.
07:56I know exactly.
07:57I know.
07:57Look at that.
07:58I know.
07:58Isn't that crazy?
07:58I know.
07:59Right now, that's the hustle.
08:00That's the one, two, three.
08:01Let the mark win a couple of times.
08:02It builds their confidence.
08:03Third time, triple the bet,
08:04knock it on down.
08:04How did I do it?
08:05Some of you know how it works.
08:06Some of you might have caught me.
08:08The way this works is, of course,
08:10scam.
08:11It's a complete scam.
08:12I have total control the whole time.
08:13All that stuff I said about psychology,
08:15hogwash.
08:15You know what I mean?
08:16Yeah, I just turned 40, so I...
08:18I never said that word in my life.
08:19Hogwash, thank you.
08:20I know exactly.
08:21I say hogwash now.
08:22It means boulder dash.
08:26All right, now, you can't guess right
08:27because the ball is never under the cup.
08:28The ball was never in the pocket.
08:29You all knew where it was.
08:30That ball, of course, was in my hand.
08:32That's how the scam works.
08:33It stays here until you guess.
08:34After you guess, I just do whatever I want, right?
08:36So if you were to...
08:37If you were to say cup,
08:38I just would have said,
08:38no, it's over here in the pocket.
08:39You said not cup,
08:40so I had to roll it under there quickly like I did.
08:43Now, if you saw me do that, great.
08:44If you didn't, magic.
08:47It's a tagline for the whole profession.
08:48Um, but most people look at me funny.
08:51They say that can't be the move.
08:52He doesn't roll it.
08:53I'd have seen it.
08:53But as if to kind of prove my point,
08:54no, you didn't.
08:56I know, exactly.
08:57That's all right.
08:57Thank you, thank you.
08:59All right, that's all right.
09:00There's stunned silence is all I take, by the way.
09:02So I don't take applause at all.
09:03All right.
09:04Um, so, yeah.
09:06But that's the thing.
09:07Most people look at me funny right there, right?
09:08Because that's the psychology of it, right?
09:09Because you were sure that ball just went in that cup,
09:11just like you're sure the ball went in that hand.
09:12It's like you know I'm putting it back in this pocket.
09:14That's how you lost even more of your mind.
09:15Actually, you know what?
09:16Take a look up here.
09:17Okay, now we got it.
09:17That's how you lost even more.
09:18I know, exactly.
09:19Isn't it crazy?
09:19I know.
09:20It's silly, silly, silly.
09:21Now, this is the part where someone says,
09:22hey, Nick, you've got to have more than one ball.
09:23I make the obvious joke.
09:24We move along.
09:25Um, however, you've got to have a bunch of those
09:30to do it that way.
09:30So if I take this, so this is an illusion.
09:32It looks like I'm putting stuff away here.
09:33I always have it in my hand, right?
09:34So you've got to hide a bunch of these in your hand.
09:36Make sure you've got a lot of these bad.
09:37But then you've got to hide them all, right?
09:38I mean, along with these little oranges.
09:39These little oranges are tough, too.
09:40I know.
09:41These are fun.
09:41I know.
09:41You can't really do much else with that.
09:43I know.
09:43It's a lot of fun.
09:44But also, in the end of it all,
09:44that's how you always end up with this part
09:46when you end up with all those oranges.
09:47That's how you end up with all of it.
09:48And I know exactly.
09:49Isn't it fun?
09:50I know.
09:50What can we do here?
09:51Thank you all very much.
09:52I've got to kind of try to clean this glass
09:54a little better, though.
09:54I'm not sure exactly how this works.
09:56I'm not sure that we have all this.
09:57There we go.
09:58That's a lot better.
09:59All right.
09:59Thank you all very much.
10:00Thank you very much.
10:01Coming up, Joshua J. goes back in time
10:06using his magic camera.
10:08I'm going to take your picture.
10:10This is the moment we're going to go back to.
10:11One, two, three.
10:12And later, Jackie Yu has all the magic
10:15right where he needs it.
10:16One card magically flies into my pocket here.
10:19Is this your signature life, right?
10:24Plus, Eric Jones alters the shape of cards
10:27right before your eyes.
10:28I'll do it visually so you can really see
10:30the moment the whole move.
10:32Give me a favor.
10:32Take any card out that you like.
10:36Nope, not that one.
10:38Masters of Illusion is just getting started.
10:41Stick around.
10:52Please welcome the incredible Joshua J.
11:00The instant camera was invented in 1948
11:06and then it peaked in popularity in the 1980s
11:09and then it totally fell off until today.
11:13I was shocked to learn this,
11:14but the instant camera is more popular today,
11:17sells more units today than at any time
11:20since its invention in 1948.
11:22So I know, it's shocking.
11:23So my question was, why are people so interested today
11:27in this technology of yesterday?
11:30And the reason is nostalgia.
11:32People love the idea that they can take a picture
11:34and get the results instantly
11:35and go back in time with this old technology.
11:39So in a way, this is a portal back in time.
11:42So I've created a card trick using an instant camera
11:45to go back in time.
11:48And we'll use this.
11:49This is a sealed regulation pack of cards.
11:51You'll notice that it's sealed on all sides in plastic.
11:54And then under the plastic,
11:56there's a sticker that keeps the cards stuck inside.
12:00Now, I want to take a picture of this moment
12:04as the before moment,
12:05the moment that we're going to travel back to.
12:07So Laura, would you hold up that deck of cards like this?
12:10I'm going to take your picture
12:11and what's going to happen is
12:14it's going to be a jumping photo.
12:16So I'm going to count to three and then you'll...
12:18I'm kidding, it's not a jumping photo.
12:19I saw the blood drain out of your face at that moment.
12:22Here we go.
12:23I just want you to hold it up
12:24because this is the moment we're going to go back to.
12:26One, two, three.
12:31And instantly, we will have a record of this moment.
12:34Now, it does take about 90 seconds to develop.
12:39So while we're doing that,
12:41I want you to open this deck of cards up.
12:43So I will help you.
12:44There's a little plastic bag here.
12:46And if we use that,
12:48we can go all the way around like so.
12:52And now that exposes the sticker.
12:55Can you do me a favor and just tear through that sticker?
12:58I'll start it for you right there.
13:00And then you just tear across.
13:02And when you've torn that sticker off,
13:04I want you to take out the cards.
13:06Yeah, go ahead.
13:07And place them face up on the table.
13:12Yeah.
13:13That's good.
13:14Excellent.
13:16Now, this is what we call new deck order.
13:19This is how they come from the factory.
13:21And by the way, while this photo develops,
13:25I'm going to tuck it inside the plastic
13:27so you can keep an eye on it.
13:28It's not fully developed.
13:29And it'll develop better in the dark.
13:31So better put your hand over that.
13:33See, over that.
13:33Yeah, I like that.
13:34Perfect.
13:35All right.
13:36Laura, this is what we call new deck order.
13:40It's two jokers, then ace through king of hearts,
13:43ace through king of clubs,
13:44king through ace of diamonds,
13:46king through ace of spades.
13:47This is how they come from the factory.
13:48And I'm going to have you pick a card
13:50to help us go back in time.
13:52So as I go through, you just call stop.
13:55Stop.
13:56Right here.
13:57This way?
13:58Are you sure it's this one right here?
13:59Yes.
14:00Nine of diamonds.
14:00I'll put it between the eight and the ten of diamonds.
14:03And I want you to see,
14:04these cards really are in order.
14:07And the eight and the ten have one card between them.
14:10And that's the one you chose, the nine of diamonds.
14:12This is important for when we go back in time.
14:15But now we have to go forward in time.
14:18So I'm going to give the cards a little mix.
14:20This is how you might mix them in a private game of cards.
14:23And of course, after the shuffle,
14:25you give them a couple of cuts.
14:27Why don't you, with your other hand, give them a cut?
14:30Yeah.
14:32Oh, you cut right to your card, the nine of diamonds.
14:35I'll cut it back into the middle there.
14:37That's a bonus trick, ladies and gentlemen.
14:39Not every performance gets that trick.
14:43Okay, so I showed you how they shuffle in a private game.
14:45Let me show you another way to shuffle.
14:47This is how they shuffle in a casino game of cards.
14:50The reason they do this way in a casino
14:51is because the cards are on the table.
14:53You can never see which way is up.
14:55So I showed you the overhand shuffle.
14:56I showed you the casino shuffle.
14:58This was the shuffle I used to use as a kid.
15:00It's just cutting cards all over the table.
15:02And now, the last shuffle, which is the most important.
15:07I'm going to turn some of these cards up,
15:09some down, some up, some down, some up, some down,
15:13some up, some down, some up, some down.
15:16So they make a true mess of cards.
15:19And in this condition, I want you to see
15:21that they really do go face up into face down.
15:24In fact, it would be hard to tell
15:26whether your card was up or down unless you really looked.
15:29We went forward in time.
15:33We did three different shuffles.
15:34It is now time to go back in time.
15:37And to do it, we rewind the deck.
15:44And if I did that correctly,
15:47all the cards are now face down except for one.
15:51And that's your nine of diamonds.
15:59But if we really went back in time,
16:04all of the cards would be back in order.
16:07That's the two jokers, the ace through king of hearts,
16:09ace through king of clubs,
16:11king through ace of diamonds,
16:12king through ace of spades.
16:14And even the one that you picked is still reversed.
16:17That's your nine of diamonds.
16:19But the cards can go back in time.
16:21They can't go back in space.
16:23Which means if we went back to the moment
16:25when I took that picture,
16:27these cards can't get back in the box.
16:29But if you lift your hand,
16:31this box has gone back in time.
16:36It's now sealed with the plastic on it.
16:39It's sealed with your picture on the inside.
16:42I want you to check that there are no protrusions or holes.
16:45And under the plastic, the little seal,
16:48the sticker that you broke is now sealed again.
16:50And I'm going to give you this deck of cards
16:52and this box as a souvenir of your trip back in time.
17:01Coming up, Jackie Yu has all the magic
17:04right where he needs it.
17:05One card magically flies into my pocket here.
17:09Is this your signature, right?
17:11Right?
17:12Plus, David Goldrake shows off his levitation powers
17:16in an incredible act.
17:18And later, Eric Jones alters the shape of cards
17:21right before your eyes.
17:23I'll do it visually so you can really see
17:24the moment, the whole move.
17:27Do me a favor.
17:27Take any card out that you like.
17:31Nope, not that one.
17:34Masters of Illusion has more tricks up its sleeve.
17:37Stick around.
17:48This performer is a magician who has captivated audiences
17:53around the globe with his innovative,
17:57visually stunning magic.
17:59Known for pushing the boundaries of traditional illusions,
18:02please welcome the incredible Jackie Yu.
18:07Yeah.
18:08Jackie, you back?
18:09Okay, let's do something cool.
18:11What's your name?
18:12My name's Carson.
18:13Carson.
18:13It's Jackie.
18:14Nice to meet you.
18:14Nice to meet you.
18:15All right, before we begin, I need to check two things.
18:18First is the envelope, and I'm going to use this
18:21at the end of this magic.
18:23Please remember that.
18:24And the second, please put your right hand in my pocket
18:27and check it.
18:28Is there anything inside?
18:29No.
18:29Nothing inside, right?
18:31All right, and here I have a deck of cards.
18:34It's green playing cards.
18:36And as you can see, it's all different cards
18:39and well-mixed, right?
18:40Mm-hmm.
18:40Yeah, okay.
18:42This time when I drop the card like this,
18:43yeah, please come closer.
18:44Yeah, when I do like this,
18:46please stop me whenever you want.
18:48Okay, you like it?
18:49Yes.
18:49Yeah, take it, and yeah,
18:51I can actually see the card,
18:52but now, please sign your name
18:55on the face of the card.
18:56Sign your name.
18:56Yes, I think I don't need this.
18:58Yeah.
19:00Now, this is the only card in the world
19:02with your signature, right?
19:03Six of diamonds.
19:05Carson's cards.
19:06Nice.
19:07Thank you so much.
19:08Okay.
19:09And now, I'll show you something cool.
19:11This is six of diamonds.
19:14Six of diamonds.
19:15I put the cards in the middle of the deck
19:17and try to find your card.
19:20But when you watch card tricks,
19:21many of you imagine that the magician
19:23can move the chosen card to the top
19:25or to the bottom.
19:28Yeah.
19:28Yeah.
19:29That's possible.
19:30But this time,
19:31I'll show you something more different.
19:32Watch.
19:33Watch as I refer to the card.
19:35One card magically flies into my pocket here.
19:39See, here's one card in my pocket.
19:41All right.
19:43Let me show you.
19:44See?
19:44Is this your signature, right?
19:47Yeah.
19:47Right?
19:48Yeah.
19:49Let's do this thing.
19:50Okay.
19:51I put the card in the middle
19:52and I shuffle them.
19:56Shuffle them again
19:57and I shuffle them again.
19:59And do you know why I'm shuffling cards for so long?
20:02No.
20:02It's because one card
20:03already moved in my pocket here
20:06and is this your signature, right?
20:08Okay.
20:09Right?
20:09I know.
20:11It's difficult to follow with the eyes.
20:13So I'm going to show you
20:14how I move the cards
20:15in my pocket secretly.
20:17I put the card in the middle
20:18and I shuffle them.
20:20You might notice
20:21one card slowly starts to move
20:23but it's difficult to follow
20:24with the untrained eye.
20:26In reality,
20:27there's one card in my pocket here
20:30and is this your signature, right?
20:33Yes.
20:34Right?
20:35Let's do this again.
20:36Let's do this again.
20:37I put the card in the middle
20:39but actually it can fly everywhere.
20:41This time it's right here
20:42in my right inside pocket.
20:44Is this your card?
20:45Yeah.
20:46Let's do it again.
20:47I put the card in the middle
20:48but this time it flies back
20:50here in my left inside pocket.
20:52Is this your card?
20:53Right?
20:54Let's do it again.
20:55I put the card in the middle
20:56and nipple through the card
20:59and one card flies back
21:00to my pocket here
21:01and is this your signature?
21:04Right?
21:05No.
21:07Please cup your hand.
21:08Cup your hand.
21:09With both hands.
21:11Okay.
21:11Is this your card?
21:13No.
21:14No.
21:15Is your card here?
21:17No.
21:18No?
21:19Here?
21:21No.

21:26I have one card in my hand
21:28and is this your signature?
21:31Right?
21:32Right?
21:36Thank you so much.
21:38All right, Carson.
21:39Do you want to see one last time?
21:41Absolutely.
21:41Okay.
21:42Please put your hand in my pocket here
21:43and make sure to check
21:44is there anything inside?
21:46Nothing.
21:46Okay.
21:47Put your right hand inside
21:48and check it.
21:49Is there anything inside?
21:50No.
21:50Okay.
21:51Now leave your hands just there.
21:52Leave your hand there.
21:53Okay.
21:54Now, this is the last part.
21:56I put the card in the middle of the deck.
21:58I put the card in the middle of the deck.
22:01Just follow me.
22:01I put the card in the middle of the deck like this.
22:05Oh.
22:06You remember.
22:07Before I started this,
22:08I used one thing at the end of this magic.
22:10Do you remember what that one thing was?
22:12The emblem.
22:13Okay.
22:13You can pull it out.
22:14You can pull it out.
22:15The emblem.
22:16It hasn't been here since the beginning.
22:18You all saw it, right?
22:19I never touched it.
22:20But look after it.
22:21Uh-huh.
22:22There's one card in my mouth
22:45and folding it neatly into quarters.
22:47Why is this your signature, right?
22:50Yep.
22:50Why?
22:52Big hand for Carson, everybody.

28:32Masters of Illusion will reappear.
28:35Stick around.
28:50Get ready to be amazed by a magician whose passion for the art of magic shines through every
28:56performance.
28:57I'll be as surprised as anybody.
28:59Hi.
29:00Lucy Darling, ladies and gentlemen.
29:02Hi.
29:03I was talking to some of the other magicians, and we thought, since you've been doing this
29:07for so many seasons of Masters of Illusion, perhaps some of our magical powers have rubbed
29:11off on you a little, don't you think?
29:13Probably not.
29:14In fact, there's a magician's test.
29:16Would you like to do it?
29:17No.
29:18But yes, I'll do it.
29:19Of course.
29:20Sure.
29:21Oh, yeah.
29:22You'll do anything for me.
29:23I love it.
29:24Yes, I will.
29:25Question one of the tests.
29:26What is this?
29:27That is a wooden thing that looks like a guillotine.
29:28Yeah.
29:29It's a guillotine.
29:30It's a magician's test.
29:31Okay.
29:32You didn't do so great on that one.
29:33That's okay.
29:34Okay.
29:35Now, this is a little riveted in that place, a little blade there.
29:36Take a look at that.
29:37Make sure it does not move up and down.
29:38Okay.
29:39No, it doesn't.
29:40No.
29:41Take a look at that box.
29:42Make sure there's nothing sneaky in my little box.
29:43Not that I can tell.
29:44You can even see that when I put it in there, that blade moves past all three holes.
29:49Yes.
29:50I mean, we should all be so lucky, right?
29:51Yes.
29:53Now, is this the test?
29:54Yes.
29:55Put your finger through that tiny little hole.
29:57No.
29:58Yeah, you got to.
29:59That's how we do the test.
30:00That's a...
30:01You make to pick whichever finger you want.
30:02Whichever finger you want to lose.
30:03I mean, you...
30:04The pinky thing.
30:05Oh, the most sensitive finger on the human body.
30:08I hope not.
30:09Dean, can you feel that blade sitting on top of your finger?
30:11Yes, I can.
30:12I can definitely feel that on there.
30:13Now, here's how the test works.
30:14If you have magic powers, that blade will go right through their fingers, leaving you unharmed.
30:17And if you don't have magic powers, then we'll deal with that when that happens.
30:20Okay?
30:21Okay.
30:22Here we go.
30:23You ready?
30:24Yes.
30:25One, two, three minutes ago I was thinking.
30:26Yeah, I'm...
30:27Okay.
30:28There's no way Dean's gonna let me do this.
30:29I hope you don't.
30:30How should I not do it?
30:31Well, I just...
30:32I fear, but at least I broke that pinky once, so at the end of it...
30:34doesn't really work that well.
30:35Well, then it's fine.
30:36Don't...
30:37Oh!
30:38Can you see that that blade is now on the other side of your finger?
30:41I can't see anything.
30:42All the way up.
30:43It doesn't move up and down.
30:45And your finger is still perfectly attached.
30:47It is.
30:48Looks like some of that magic is not done by me.
30:50Well done.
30:51All right, I'm a little sweaty now, I admit it.
30:56So let's...
30:57Tonight, we are all in for a real treat with one of the most skilled and admired magicians
31:03around.

31:30It is a pleasure.
31:31Ladies, we're going to have a conversation.
31:32A really short conversation about permanence.
31:33You'll understand what I mean in a moment.
31:34I've got a couple of things with me.
31:35I've got a little hole punch that I got from an office supply store and a deck of playing
31:37cards.
31:38Now, here's the strange thing.
31:39We're going to use one card in a little bit.
31:40I'm going to leave that sitting over here for just a moment.
31:41But I want you guys.
31:42Oh, actually, you know what?
31:43Give me a favor.
31:44Take any card out that you like.
31:45Nope.
31:46Not that one.
31:47But any other.
31:48No, no, not that one.
31:49There we go.
31:50That's good.
31:51Now, take a look at the card and tell me, do you like that card or would you like one
31:53of the others?
31:54The choice is completely up to you.
31:55Okay.
31:56Let's go.

32:16You're good.
32:17Do me a favor.
32:18Show the audience.
32:19And as a matter of fact, to make things even more permanent, I'm going to give you this
32:25marker.
32:26You can place the card face up here.
32:27Doesn't matter if I see what it is.
32:28You can do a face up.
32:29And I.
32:30Oh, that's my favorite.
32:31The four of clubs because it reminds me of bedposts.
32:32That's a whole other story.
32:33Do me a favor.
32:34Take that marker.
32:35And I want you to sign your name right on the face of the card.
32:36That way, in case you see the card again, you know that.
32:37you know any good jokes no I'm just wasting time I know too but I can't say
32:44them on television all right oh that is beautiful let's make sure we get a good

32:53how I got it now permanence this is kind of interesting I hope you guys can see
32:58this I'm just gonna take this little guy and punch her a little hole right through
33:02there I'm looking to see it right there the line all the way through here's the
33:06magic all you have to do is watch you might see the moment that hole moves from
