Our next look here on the Sunrise Show
is a look at this gentleman and his
scientific magic or his magical science.
I'm not quite sure which it is,
how we should describe it,
but he's Jason Latimer,
and this is a look at some of
the videos I was checking out
yesterday on his YouTube channel.
So Jason teaches science basically
through his magic, through his illusions.
And this morning he's doing it for
us right here in the Sunrise Studios.
Because this month,
all month long in February,
Jason will appear at Omsi on the weekends.
Good morning.
Good morning. I I wanted to
inspire curiosity and thought.
And wonder. So I thought,
moving with my background and applied
science and my love for magic,
could I inspire questions.
And that's why I'm with museums here.
All through here, OK?
I mean, tell me when to stop.
Whenever you feel like it.
OK, let's see if I get through here.
Stop right here.
Put take a look at that card here.
Like that. OK. I'm going to try
to change it up with innovation.
New type of card trick here.
I'm not going to pick your
card or find your card.
I'm actually just going to
draw your card on my arm.
OK.
I
need to show the audience what
card it is. Yeah, fine. That's
fair. That works out here. Yeah.
Make sure everybody knows what the card is.
Drew. Am I close? And I'm.
Am I close? Yeah. Is it?
Is it? I'll, I'll, I'll. I'll
add some a card to this thing here.
I've got a pretty good feeling
I know what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna say it's the ace of clubs.
Is it the Acer clubs?
Right. See, this is part of magic
that I find. It's it's it's.
No, no, it's it's. Alright,
alright. Can I share what it
is? No, no, no. I'll tell you what.
I'll put some dimensions on my drawing here.
And now that's a deck of cards.
Why am I the one sweating
and your card is in there.
What was the name of your card? Really.
You want me to tell you? Yeah. I've
seen the trick before. It's a
it's a. Four diamonds.
Four diamonds? Yes. Alright,
I'm gonna inspire thought and curiosity.
I want you to tell you I'm gonna shake
the drawing of my arm and cause your
four diamonds to rise out of my arm.
Umm, now we're getting crazy four times.
Here. I'll tell you what.
Four diamonds. I'm thinking forward.
Here, come a little closer.
Watch. Watch carefully. The four Dimes.
I'm going to shake the drawing
and I'll see if I can get the
car to rise. Oh my goodness.
What the heck? Stop it for diamonds.
Any any questions? Yeah.
How the heck do you do it?
Everything we don't
understand is magic.
And when we take our time to
apply questions and curiosity
and progressive manner,
we end up deciding that things
that were impossible become
possible through curiosity.
And that's what I'm here.
I I said there's this, you know,
age-old expression, right,
that the only dumb question
is the one that's not asked.
Right. Great. You have a
great line about questioning.
Yeah. The right
question changes everything.
Yeah. Yeah. So, like.
You think about flight.
Flight was always possible.
We just didn't know how to do it till
someone asked a question about Lyft.
And every innovation, every new technology,
it comes from somebody saying,
my question might be different than
your the last question that was asked.
And that's what we need.
If we know the right
question changes everything,
why haven't we taken the time
to inspire curiosity and wonder
in the education environment?
Well, we've seen what you
can do with this arm.
We're not quite sure yet what
you can do with this arm. Let's
pick a different card.
What's the clock hours for
your right arm here with us
this morning? Because you're gonna be
at amsey starting tomorrow and Sunday.
I'm, I'm. I'm running off
February 4th of 26th.
Saturday and Sundays.
Six shows a weekend,
but they're selling out,
so make sure you get your ticket
online as soon as possible.
3 show Saturdays, 2 on Sundays,
all month long in February.
And I think we need the help
of a studio audience member.
I'm going to see if we have one out. There
could be one over there.
Young lady, you look like you could be fun.
Could be fun here. But Jason,
what do you got for Brenda?
Jason. Well, everything we
don't understand will look like magic.
And when we were seeing some of
the clips from the YouTube channel
with Collins Key and Devan Key,
we actually made a ping pong ball vanish.
But we actually got up to supersonic
speeds and vanished it into a watermelon.
So we split a watermelon with a pink. I
saw that. Yeah, they're
pretty good. Now, in this
case, I want to do a magic
trick where I need you.
Brenda, if you place your
hands over the bowl like this,
I'm going to take these two pictures
of water, and I'm going to pour
them through your hands. OK.
Your job is to make sure nothing
comes out of these pictures of.
Water. Except for water.
OK, here we go.
Alright, here we go, Brenda.
Brenda, have you ever
helped a magician before?
This is my first time.
You're not helping one now.
A little bit lower and in the bowl,
so I don't spill everywhere.
That's good. Perfect. Alright.
And I've rolled your sleeves
up for you. I apologize.
Yeah. I'll tell you what. Why don't
you do this? Why don't you roll up
your sleeves? Because I want you
to feel around inside that bowl
and make sure there's no hidden
compartments, trapdoors or Mrs.
I'll get you a towel.
Right. No, it's solid.
It's no, it should be liquid.
It's actually the opposite, Brendan.
You know the bowl is solid. Absolutely.
Now, magic is really about
inspiring people to, or for me,
it's about inspiring people to ask questions.
And in this case, I want you to dream
about the magic of controlling water.
Like what would that look like here?
If you grab that side and that side here,
if you look straight up,
is there anything underneath the bowl?
On the floor, on the table. OK, perfect.
Now watch carefully about this.
Over the horizon like beyond what we can see.
That's where the next cure is.
Thank you, drew.
Over the horizon, that's where the
next technology is beyond what we know.
So we have to inspire people to ask
questions to see over the horizon.
And in this case,
what would it look like if we
could roll water into a shape?
First you have to ask questions.
First question is what shape
are we going to make?
Second question should be how strong would
surface tension have to be to make a shape?
That's what I was thinking.
As you get.
Thank you.
As you get older you can start setting,
you can start setting chemistry
and if you start setting applied
chemistry you could say what?
To increase the surface tension of water.
If we get closer for this,
what could increase the surface
tension of water to to bring a shape
stop out of water? What the heck? Place your
hands together. Both. Don't pop it,
otherwise we're both getting wet.
OK? It will ripple.
It will wobble.
I am freaking out. This is weird. What's it
now? There was no magic section at
the local Home Depot to pick up
the lake where how to shape water.
This illusion did not exist
anywhere in the world.
Trick or not, real or illusion,
this did not exist anywhere until
somebody wonders if it could.
OK, so here's the deal. That's wild.
There's two things happening here
that we had to wrap up in 20 seconds.
One, there was a part of
Brenda's brain on the floor.
She blew in the woman's brain.
Alright, I gotta tell, I gotta tell.
I got. I gotta put it back
inside of her head. OK, that's
#1 #2. When can you see this man?
You can see him starting this weekend.
I got news on that.
We added an extra show on Sunday
because the shows are selling out.
We're doing 6 shows a weekend.
Ohh, not this Sunday.
We had to because there's
already ticket spots.
So we're doing 6 shows every
weekend from now until the 26th.
You want the complete schedule,
go to that website on your screen.
It is omsi dot. Edu Jason Latimer,
World champion magician
at Omsi all month long.
Thank you, Brenda. Thank you, thank you.
I'm just happy it didn't pop.
