Jon, what are we doing?
It's a great day to be alive.
I want to do a trick.
OK.
But I want to involve you, and I'd
like to involve somebody in the audience.
OK.
Is that OK?
Yep, yeah.
OK, why don't you pick somebody out, anybody you want.
It doesn't matter.
Pick someone out.
Ahh.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Are you with child?
Yes.
Well then, come on, you.
[SCREAMING]
It's like we have two volunteers.
Yeah, right.
Hey, I'm Jon.
Hi, Jon, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Hi.
We have to-- we have to-- hi, I'm Ellen.
Hi, Ellen.
Hi.
So this is very exciting.
You look like you're due any day.
When are you due?
Next week.
Really?
Yes.
I was supposed to get induced yesterday,
but I wanted to be here, so.
Oh my God.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
That's a fan.
Yes?
See, that's dedication.
That's the kind of fan I like.
You move your inducement thing.
[LAUGHTER]
So what is your name?
My name is Ashley Carter.
Hi, Ashley.
And where do you live, and what do you do?
I live in San Clemente on Camp Pendleton
with my husband, who's in the infantry.
We have two kids and one of the way.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Wow, so your husband is with you now, or no?
No, he's deployed.
Oh, OK, all right.
And you have two other kids?
Yes.
OK, how old are they?
I have Olivia.
She's eight.
And then I have Jessa.
She's two.
OK, great.
All right, well, what are we doing?
Let's rock this.
Stand here.
You each got a Sharpie.
You guys are going to use them.
So all I want you to do, Ellen, is
I'm going to riffle through here.
And say, stop.
Stop.
There it is.
Uh-huh.
We got a card right here.
It's the 4 of clubs.
Ellen, just sign it.
Uh-huh.
There we go.
We're going to show the camera there,
so that everybody can see it.
We're going to take your 4, Ellen,
and we're going to put it somewhere down here
in the center.
Ashley, you're going to do the same thing.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Just say stop.
Stop.
Right here, whatever card this is, we got a card right here.
It is the queen of hearts.
Do me a favor.
Sign that bad boy.
Perfect.
We've got a queen of hearts.
We got a 4 of clubs.
Ashley, yours is going to go in the center, like so.
Now it's a cool move.
If you just take your hand and give it a little shake,
I can reverse one of those cards.
Ahh, we get yours, Ashley, huh?
Oh boy.
Just wait.
It gets better.
Just wait.
And if we just give it a little shake this way,
we can actually get Ellen's card to reverse, as well.
Now, here's what I love about Ellen.
She has a way of finding us and bringing us all together.
And her 4 has found its way right by your queen.
What?
Oh my gosh.
Now, this is what's killer.
Now watch this.
I'm going to take these two cards.
And if you hold the two like this, and you square them up,
and you hold them tight, you can actually
get them to kind of-- you can square them up this way, right?
Can you put your hand out flat?
And Ellen, if you would, just take your hand,
and put your hand on top.
Keep them squared up.
OK.
And it's just a snap.
Ellen, pick your hand up.
Like I said, Ellen does magic, brings us together.
This is one card completely.
You can tear that.
These two cards are completely torn.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Now, look, I know what you guys are thinking.
Ellen, you had a free choice.
Ashley, you had a free choice.
I got a giant card right here.
I mean, it's hard to miss, right?
I made a prediction.
I thought the two cards that would be picked--
Ellen, your queen of hearts, Ashley, your 4 of clubs,
and that they would come together.
Now, let the truth be known.
The magic is not these cards.
The magic's in Ellen, because she finds a way
to bring us all together.
We know your husband's deployed, and we
know that he's going to miss the birth of your child.
But this is where Ellen can make the real magic happen.
So I've never done anything like this.
I've never done anything this big.
But I think we might be able to make something happen.
Do me a favor and turn around.
[DRUM ROLL]
[CRYING] .
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
[CRYING]
Oh my God, I missed you so much.
[CRYING]
I missed you so much.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Hi.
Thank you for what you do.
Thank you so much.
That's Jon.
Thank you.
All right, more with Ashley and Steve after this.
We're back with Ashley and her husband
Steve, who has been overseas for six months.
And we just--
Jon made them appear.
[LAUGHTER]
That's the best magic trick you've ever done.
You know what?
Every time I see these, I cry.
So I'm holding it back right now.
That was the coolest thing ever, coolest thing I've ever done.
I love doing this.
And I just was like, oh, I guess I'll pick you.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, I'm so glad you did.
Uh, me too, because if it was somebody else,
and then Steve appears, you're like, who's that?
[LAUGHTER]
So you're excited.
I was scared I was going to push you into labor.
But you're OK, right?
I'm OK.
OK, good.
I'm glad.
This must be really hard to be-- and especially, now you're
here for the baby.
But you were going to be away.
That must be really hard.
Yeah.
She's the superstar.
It's easier for me to go and deploy,
because I do a lot of training for it.
But she's back here doing the hard stuff.
She's taking care of the kids.
She's going to school.
And she's been doing this pregnancy the entire time
by herself.
She's my super hero.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
I agree.
It's amazing what you have to do.
All right, I have been studying a little bit of magic, too.
I have a trick, because Jon had a trick.
And so I have a trick, as well.
Andy?
All right.
[LAUGHTER]
All right, I want you to think, think of a card.
And you think of a card, OK?
What did you think of?
9 of clubs.
Yep.
And what did you think of?
The 6 of hearts.
That's right.
OK.
[LAUGHTER]
Ashley, my amazing friends at Cheerios know all about you.
And because you're doing good, and it
makes the heart feel good, Honey Nut Cheerios and I
want to give you and your family $50,000.
Oh my God.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Oh my God.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Thank you, Ellen.
Oh, you're welcome.
You're welcome.
Oh my God.
I want to hear about your acts of good.
So go to my website.
We'll be right back.
Oh my God.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
Hi, I'm Andy.
Ellen asked me to remind you to subscribe to her channel,
so you can see more awesome videos, like videos
of me getting scared or saying embarrassing things,
like ball peen hammer, and also some videos of Ellen
and other celebrities, if you're into that sort of thing.
Ah!
[BLEEP]
God!
