Rachael, if you don't mind,
just have a seat for me there.
Rachael, I have a,
a bottle.
The bottle's made of glass.
(glass tinging) It's completely solid.
(glass tinging) Untampered with.
You can have a look at, it if you want.
It's a normal bottle? It's a bottle.
Perfect.
There you go.
Rachael, the bottle goes into the box,
the box is locked,
and it's placed inside the larger box.
Now, Rachael, if you could do me a favor
and just hold onto the box.
Just rest it on your lap, just like that.
Perfect, amazing.
Rachael, I have a deck of cards right here.
We're gonna remove the jokers from the pack.
They'll sit right there.
You can see all of the cards in the deck are different.
No two are the same.
Different, different, different.
Rachael, do me a favor.
Just touch the back of any one you want.
That one there?
Have a look at it, yep, take it out, have a look.
We'll show it to the camera, doesn't matter if I see it.
Five of hearts.
(audience laughing)
Makes it a lot easier.
Doesn't matter at all.
That's the show, goodnight.
(laughing)
Rachael?
I'm going home (laughs). Perfect (laughs).
We'll take the five of hearts,
we'll do this very slowly.
Watch, 'cause all we're gonna do is take your five of hearts
and we're gonna sandwich it between the jokers.
Now, Rachael, you could've selected any card in the pack.
You chose the five of hearts,
which is sitting
between both jokers. I did, I did.
Watch very closely,
'cause this will happen very quickly.
If we give it a little shake like this.
Watch, the five of hearts--
Went away. Vanishes.
That's really cool. It's gone, disappeared.
Where'd it go? But Rachael,
it doesn't go very far.
Did it go inside the bottle,
perhaps? Maybe it did.
(audience laughing)
Spoiler alert!
(laughing)
Rachael, 'cause inside this box.
Yes? Is the other box.
And inside that box? Inside this box.
What's in there, Darce? What could be in there?
I don't know, is it the bottle?
It is, have a look! Holy, wow!
There it is!
(audience cheering)
(laughing)
Alright, doesn't matter, I have a deck of cards.
Alright, all the cards are different?
Correct. Alright, you say stop
whenever you want, okay? Okay.
We're gonna make a random selection, okay?
Stop! Right there?
Alright, take a look at the card.
Well, I'll show the camera first.
Got it?
Got it.
Alright now, were gonna wanna
make this card unique though, Rachael.
So, you're gonna write your name all across the face.
Sign it, with your signature, yep.
Very good.
You can keep that.
That'd be $4 (laughs).
(audience laughing)
I don't have $4.
Okay, it's fine.
So we'll take the next card over though,
okay, the eight of diamonds.
Can you sign that as well?
Or, you can draw an image.
It doesn't have to be your signature.
It can be anything, a house,
simple, or be as crazy as,
oh, a heart, okay, very nice.
Okay cool, so, we have the eight of diamonds--
It's the season of love. Yes it is.
And charity.
We have the four of diamonds, and the eight of diamonds,
sorry, the four of spades
and eight of diamonds.
We're gonna do something different.
Tell you what, hold on to the four like this.
Alright don't move, okay?
Don't move. Watch the eight.
Everyone look at the eight.
One, two, three,
and now I have the four,
and that can only mean that you have the eight in your hand.
Now, Rachael, you've seen this before, right?
Yeah, you've seen this.
You've definitely seen this before.
It's a, I told you--
Oh my God, I'm so freaked out!
(audience laughing)
Rachael?
What? You gotta look at me.
Okay! 'Cause I'm gonna
do something,
and you keep looking away. You're scaring me, okay!
Okay, okay. You can't look away,
you gotta look at my hands the whole time, okay?
Alright, cool, cool, cool. Okay, okay.
You'll miss something, alright?
We'll tear the cards in half.
Maybe you haven't seen this before, I don't know.
So this way we have the four,
and we have the eight, right?
Uh-huh. Yeah?
Okay, cool, tell you what?
We'll place the four away in my pocket for now.
We'll just focus,
only on the eights.
Watch.
(blowing air)
And we can actually get the eight to restore like this.
And we can get the four.
That doesn't look like a four, does it?
No. That's imaginary, right.
(blowing air) But if you imagine enough,
you can actually,
not only just restore the eight, Rachael,
you can restore the four as well.
I'm so freaked out!
I know, it's kinda confusing, it's kinda confusing.
Yeah. But what we can do
is now we can take half of the eight,
and half of the four,
and if we push just enough,
get a real nice close up of this.
(paper snapping) Now it's half.
(audience cheering)
Check it out, Rachael,
I told you this is a very weird trick.
Check out the cards.
Is that indeed your signature on both cards?
Yes, it's really,
these are my cards. Are those really yours?
Yeah, those are your cards, you can keep them,
and then you have to give yourself $4 now, alright?
Okay.
(audience laughing) (audience applauding)
I'm a little scared of you both,
but that was really, really, really, cool.
Can we show you one more?
Sure. Look, we just reach behind
just like this.
We pull out-- Oh!
Two tickets to The Illusionists
Live on Broadway,
and everybody in the audience is going home
with two tickets to the show. (audience cheering)
Yay!
Look, I got a tag,
that means you people have to receive yet another gift.
What a bore.
Oh, such a drag, it's so hard.
Everybody, oh, 'cause it's cold out.
I understand.
You need a coat to get to your Broadway show ticket.
You gotta get to The Illusionists,
it's cold out, its winter.
So everybody gets a $200 gift card to Free Country,
where you can all choose from a bunch of great jackets!
(audience cheering) Everybody gets a coat!
(gentle chiming) (audience cheering)
