00:008,774 miles from home, in a tiny speck of an island in southeastern part of Asia, Singapore, the city that will get a taste of our magic.
00:30I like people to really believe that what they're seeing is real.
00:57It's magic.
00:59Look, sign the coin for me, okay? You're gonna sign it.
01:03Okay, can you see it all right?
01:05All right, look. Now remember, this is a signed coin, okay?
01:09It's this just, and you know what? I need to just take out one more coin, one more coin for me.
01:13Any coin. One more, one more. Okay, what do we got? Okay, place it, keep it on your hand.
01:19Like, keep it here, actually here. Hold, yeah, what's your name?
01:23Zingy.
01:24Perfect. Look, can you see okay? Okay, I'm gonna do this real slow, look.
01:28Okay, I think, I think I got it. Look, come in closer, come in closer, come in closer, look.
01:33Look, right here, see the coin? Right here, okay? That's your name, right? You put, this is, did you sign it?
01:38No, I did.
01:39You sign it, you sign it. Is that your signature?
01:40Yeah.
01:41Okay, watch the coin, watch. Look. Watch. If I do this right to you, you can see it.
01:47You see it? It's bending.
01:48You see it bending? You see it bending right there. Look, look, it's starting to bend right there.
01:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:53If I poop.
01:57Still bending?
02:02Look, look at the band of the coin.
02:04You're gonna still use that?
02:05I don't know what you can buy, but there you go.
02:08Well, it's kind of amazing. Look at my coin. It's bent.
02:12Show it to the camera?
02:13Yeah, it's bent.
02:14I don't know, maybe, I don't know. I think it's pure magic.
02:18Pure magic.
02:19The best magic is when it's right in front of your eyes, and there's no question that it's actually happened.
02:35One of the things about magic is it's a universal language. It doesn't matter where. If I borrow someone's bill and change it to a bigger note, you don't need to speak the same language to do that.
02:47So I think I've found some people over here. I might just try something. Let me see if I can warm them up.
02:52The tighter the group, the better, okay? So I'm gonna try something. This is something I came up with, okay? This is the first time I'm doing this, so I don't know if this will work, okay?
03:03But I have some writing on the pack, but if you look closely, it says it eight times. You see? It says Singapore, Singapore, many different times, right?
03:11Yeah.
03:12Okay? And the cards are real. They're real cards. You see? They're all different, right?
03:16Yes.
03:17Okay? It's okay? The cards are all different.
03:20And I'm gonna have you maybe pick what? It's Min, right?
03:24Yeah.
03:25That's your name? Okay. Just say stop when I do this. It'll be easy.
03:27No.
03:28Say stop.
03:29Here?
03:30Mm-hmm.
03:31Take, take. Look, let them see. Okay? Do you like this one or you're happy with it?
03:36Yeah.
03:37And show the camera the card. Okay, place it back. Okay? And now watch the writing on the pack. This is the most important thing. Look, if I take the cards, if I shuffle the cards.
03:48There we go. There we go. Look.
03:51Look, once I mix it, all the ink, it starts to kind of move around. Look. Look, it says Singapore four times. See?
04:01That's cool.
04:02Isn't that cool? Yeah.
04:03Four times on the pack. All right, I'm gonna try it again. Look. The next time. I got it. Right there. Right there. Right there. Look. Look. One more mix. And now it says it twice. Look. Two times.
04:18Two times. Right? Yeah. See that? Okay. Two times. Let's try it one last time. Okay? Last time. Now look. I'll give it one last shuffle. See it? Right there. Last one. Now when I shuffle it, it's once. Singapore.
04:45Singapore.
04:48Isn't that weird? Yeah.
04:49Now here's the thing. Look. You remember the cards were mixed up in the beginning? The cards were all mixed. Now look. All the cards are in perfect order. Look. When you buy a deck of cards, it comes like this.
04:59Yeah. New deck order. Right? All the cards are mixed. They're all in perfect order. But did you see your card? Do you see it?
05:06Yeah. You see it in there? Yeah. You sure? Yeah.
05:10Wait. It's a red one. Red one? What was your card?
05:15Do I have to tell you? Yeah? Yeah. It's G.
05:18Not this one. No? Jack of Hearts? Look.
05:22Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look. Look.
05:36Thank you very much.
05:43Well, there are lots of different people to perform magic for. There are some people that are very skeptical.
05:49Magic is about letting go. And if we can't just appreciate the magic, then that can drive people crazy.
05:59Okay. I think I'm gonna try and experiment with a couple of people here in a second. I feel like I'm in the twilight zone here.
06:20Okay? Okay. Can you see it okay? Ten, right? Okay? Watch it. Watch the bill. Look. Don't look away. Watch closely. See the hands, right? Okay?
06:29I'm gonna fold it very slowly. I'm gonna do this very slowly for you, okay? And you can see, look. You can see the bill in your view the whole time. The whole time, right? Yes? Okay? See it in your view? Watch it. Watch it. If I fold it like this, see? It starts to change. Look.
06:47Oh, look. Look, look, look, look, look, look. Look.
06:54Fifty.
06:55Fifty.
06:56Fifty.
06:57Yeah, you like that?

07:16Sellers.
07:17Okay, it's real, right? Dollars, right? Just five, five, yeah? Look. How-how much? How much is this? How much? Five, five.
07:28No, no, no, no, no, no, look, look.
07:33200, 200, 300, 500.
07:37Oh!
07:38500?
07:39No, it's for me.
07:42Yeah, look.
07:47Here, I'll give you...
07:50That's what I thought.
07:51There's your time.
07:52Okay, one more, one more?
07:54I can just...
07:56Alright.
08:10Here we are at the Malayan in Singapore.
08:13Supposed to be an icon here.
08:15Let's check it out.
08:17Half lion, half fish.
08:20Lionfish.
08:21I think it represents good luck, prosperity, wealth.
08:25I'm not sure.
08:26This looks kind of like one of your relatives.
08:31Water means prosperity, wealth, yeah?
08:33Which we're going to do a little bit of depth.
08:35See the water?
08:36Trying to make a fist like this.
08:38I pour.
08:45Pour the water.
08:47Like this.
08:49Like this.
08:50Like this.
08:51Both of them.
08:52There you go.
08:53Take your hands.
08:54You're going to take your hand and rub...
08:55Rub my hand.
08:56Rub my hand.

09:03Stop.
09:04Stop.
09:05Stop.
09:06Stop.
09:07Stop.
09:08One of the reasons I'm in magic is for the challenge of new environments and new people.
09:33One of the things I wanted to do when I arrived in Singapore was to show some magic that had never been seen, particularly in Singapore, so I was really excited to be able to go out and try this material in front of the camera.
10:03One of the reasons I wanted to do is to show some magic and magic.
10:10I'm not sure what you're doing.
10:12I'm not sure what you're doing.
10:13I'm not sure what you're doing.
10:17I'm not sure what you're doing.

10:53This will pick those up.
10:55There's always a mess at the bar.
10:57Oops.
10:58Leaves.
10:59It's hard to do a trick with these, but we're gonna try.
11:03Um.
11:04Can I use...
11:05Do you have a shaker?
11:06Can I use a shaker?
11:07Anything inside the shaker?
11:10Definitely nothing.
11:11Definitely nothing inside the shaker.
11:13Empty.
11:14Empty.

11:16And we have a lovely deck of cards.
11:18See some face up, face down.
11:21Mixed up.

11:24All different directions.
11:25I'm gonna show you a drink.
11:27You made a drink for me.
11:28I'm gonna make a drink for you.

11:41And, uh, drop them inside.
11:45Like this.
11:48Drop them inside the...
11:51See it inside there?
11:53You can see them face up and face down inside the cup.
11:56Watch.
11:57And we're gonna take one of these coasters, so I can't cheat.
12:00I'm gonna shake.
12:01We just made a big mess of the cards.
12:03I'll show you.
12:04This is what you do.
12:05Something.
12:06Is that the right rhythm?
12:10Ooh, something's happening.
12:15A little peek.
12:16Ooh, see something's happening.
12:18And, ooh, I almost forgot.
12:20Uh, can you think of a card?
12:22Think of a card for me?
12:24Do you have one?
12:25Name it.
12:26Hmm?

12:28In America, that's the two of hearts.
12:30Love of hearts.
12:31Ready?
12:32Yeah.
12:33Two of hearts.
12:34Love of hearts.

12:44Slowly.
12:45Pull the cards out.
12:48The two.
12:49Two of hearts.
12:50Is that what you said?
12:51Two of love.
12:52That's what they say here.
12:53The two of love.
12:54Oop, can you see?
12:55All the cards in the deck are straightened out.
12:56Every single card.
12:57Well, of course, except for one, every single card is right at itself.
13:01Except for one.
13:02Take a guess what that might be.
13:03The two of love.
13:04The two of hearts.
13:05The two of hearts.
13:06The two of hearts.
13:07Is that what you said?

13:30Two of hearts.
13:32Two of hearts?
13:33Two of hearts.
13:35Ooooooo.
13:37Two of hearts.
13:38Two of hearts.
13:40I told you I'd make the Criss Corn Cocktail.
13:42It's a very popular drink in the United States.
13:44What's the popular drink here?
13:49Singapore Sling.
13:50Singapore Sling.
13:51Watch.
13:51One, two.
13:55Cards have disappeared.
13:58Two, one.
14:01Yes.
14:03Oh, that's cold.
14:08Let's get drunk.
14:14I think I found someone.
14:17Look, look.
14:18All I want you to do, okay, you see the cards, right?
14:21They're all different, okay?
14:23See, they're all different.
14:25You're going to just touch one.
14:26Which one?
14:27Take it.
14:27Okay, show the camera.
14:28Don't let me see it, though, okay?
14:31This is what we're going to do.
14:32You're going to place it back inside.
14:33Place it, just put it inside.
14:36Okay, it's inside, right?
14:37You see?
14:38It's nice and tight inside the pack, okay?
14:41And I'm going to take this one.
14:42This is not the card, right, that you picked?
14:44It's not the one, okay?
14:46Watch the card, look.
14:48Look, I'm just going to rip it.
14:51Okay?
14:53I'm going to rip it one more time.
14:56Okay, hold the pieces for a second, just like this, okay?
14:59Now, look, do you remember the card you picked?
15:02The card you picked, I'm going to guess.
15:04I'm not sure what it is.
15:05I'm not sure, but you see this one, okay?
15:08This one.
15:09Can you take, hold the other end of the pieces?
15:11Hold the pieces.
15:12Hold it, look.
15:13Yeah, hold it right there.
15:14Hold it right there.
15:15Yeah, now if I, what was your card?
15:17Six of hearts.
15:18This one?
15:19Six of hearts?
15:20Yeah.
15:21It was a six.
15:21Are you sure?
15:22Yeah.
15:23Okay, I'll do it slowly.
15:24Look, six of hearts.
15:26Watch this six of hearts.
15:27I'm going to do it very slowly.
15:30Let's see, if I just rub it inside with the pieces.
15:33See, look, it changes to the, to the king.
15:35That's the one that was ripped up, remember?
15:38That was all ripped up.
15:39Look, look, turn the pieces over.
15:44Right?
15:45Six of hearts.
15:46Six of hearts.
15:48Six of hearts.
15:48Six of hearts.
15:49See it?
15:50Come back here.
15:51Keep the pieces.
15:52Keep, hold your hand up.
15:53Hold, look, we'll do one more.
15:54No, close it tight.
15:55Close it tight.
15:55You feel the pieces?
15:57Watch it.
15:57You're going to, you're going to try to just squeeze it tight.
15:59Like this, like this, like this.
16:02Watch, watch.
16:05Look, open, look at the pieces.
16:06Look, look inside.
16:08Look, look, all the pieces, all the pieces.
16:11They're back together.
16:12They're back together.
16:29Look, two coins, once again, silver and a copper.
16:43Instead of me holding them both, right, where you can't see them, I'm going to put them in
16:48your hand where you can.
16:50Show your hand flat.
16:51There we go.
16:52So we can see.
16:53Look, two coins.
16:55Squeeze tight.
16:56Squeeze tight.
16:57None in mine.
16:58You have both.
16:59All right, you can look at your hand now if you want.
17:02Open up just a little bit.
17:03A little bit more.
17:04A little bit more.
17:05We're going to get one out of there.
17:07Squeeze tight.
17:08Squeeze really tight.
17:09All right.
17:10I'm going to lay that right there.
17:11Hold on to that copper coin.
17:12Don't let go of it.
17:13I'm going to wave my hands like that.
17:15I'm going to steal it out of your hand.
17:16You can look at your hand.
17:17Watch.
17:18All right, bend your wrist just a little bit.
17:20There we go.
17:20Watch.
17:20All I'm going to do is wave my hands like this.
17:24As I wave my hands, move your hand down just a little bit.
17:29Come up over this.
17:31Come over this way, over my shoulder.
17:33I'll let you see the magician's point of view.
17:35Ready?
17:35There we go.
17:37Here's what it looks like from behind.
17:39Really watch.
17:40A little wave like this.
17:42Lower your hand just a little bit.
17:43Right about there.
17:44Ready?
17:44Becomes the copper coin.
17:50That's the copper coin.
17:51Slowly turn over your hand.
17:54Show them the other side.
17:58Nope.
17:59Show them the other side of the coin.
18:02Hold it up to the cube.
18:03Show our friends at home.
18:04Oh, lucky look.
18:10I'll tell you what.
18:10You get a souvenir today for helping.
18:13Would you like to keep the silver coin or the copper coin?
18:16Any one.
18:17Either one or you can have a surprise.
18:20Anything.
18:21Whatever you wish to get.
18:23Surprise is a date with me.
18:25No.
18:27Do you want the surprise?
18:29I'll give you the surprise.
18:30Do you know what the surprise is?
18:31No.
18:31No, it's going to go down the street and sell them your watch.
18:35Oh, my God.
18:39Oh, my God.
18:42Oh.
18:43Oh, six.
18:45I'll keep this.
18:46We'll give that.
18:48I can make a killing this way.
18:49If that was a Rolex, I never would have given it back.
18:52I'm not really sure.
18:54I'm not really sure.
18:55I don't know what he did.
18:58He's awesome.
18:59One of the best parts about magic is you can take something
19:01from your imagination and make it reality.
19:08Well, I think the crowd tonight was perfect.
19:12Very energetic crowd tonight.
19:14Oh, my God, you're skinny.
19:18This place has the energy to do magic.
19:21Absolutely.
19:22See my hand?
19:23Look, check, feel my hand.
19:24Like, it looks okay.
19:25Yeah.
19:25Okay?
19:26Yeah.
19:26Nothing up your sleeve.
19:27Nothing up my sleeve, right?
19:28Okay.
19:28Okay.
19:29So, I want you to come.
19:30We're going to come down for this a little bit.
19:32Okay.
19:33Come down.
19:33Come down.
19:34So you can see.
19:35Okay.
19:36Now, look.
19:36Watch my hand closely.
19:38Watch this.
19:38Watch.
19:38See?
19:39If I take my hand, if I just start turning.
19:43Oh, man.
19:44Look, look, look.
19:46See?
19:47Look.

19:52Oh, look at you.
19:53Look, look, look, look.
19:55Look.
19:55Help.
19:56Turn.
19:56Turn?
19:57Yeah.
19:57I don't do that.
19:58No, no.
19:58Just, just.
20:00Wait, wait, wait.
20:01Wait, wait.
20:02Wait.
20:03Wait.
20:03Wait.
20:03Oh, shit.
20:05Is that too much?
20:10Yeah, yeah.
20:11All right.
20:11I'll stop right there.
20:12I'll stop right there.
20:13See?
20:13Real arm.
20:14Oh.
20:14Good.
20:15Yeah.
20:17That's good.
20:19You're good.
20:20You're good.
20:21Yeah, you're good.
20:22Oh, you know what?
20:23You know what?
20:24I'm going to do one more.
20:25How do you do it?
20:26Will you show me how to teach?
20:28Show me.
20:28Let me see your hand.
20:29How do you twist?
20:30Now, take your hand like this.
20:32Okay.
20:33Hold it.
20:35One of my favorite moments tonight was when everyone thought I broke Chris' arm.
20:43People's faces are awesome.
20:45You see them almost like ready to throw up.
20:47It's like, no.
20:54I think people were very freaked out about the arm thing.
20:57I have no idea how it happened.
20:58I don't know.
20:59How can I be real?
21:01Yeah.
21:01See it?
21:04See it?
