today my daughter Salish has 24 hours to conquer one of her greatest fears stage
fright she will fly to Las Vegas to learn magic from one of the top illusionists in
the world and by the end of the day she will have to decide if she goes on stage to perform
in front of a massive audience you ready to go uh we are at the house of Xavier Mortimer
who has been voted the best magic act in Las Vegas for four years straight and now
he's getting Salish I'm going to show you four magic tricks you're gonna choose one
and performing on stage with me oh boy the only time I've been on stage was in a school place when
I was like six and this is like a real magic show and I've never done magic before because of him
right close it close it and keep it closed just in front of you put the other one behind your back
okay you chose that hand lower a little bit I'm gonna show you my name is Xavier I'm gonna draw an
x on my hand like this okay all right I'm gonna make the ink travel from my hand to your hand
no way no way no way we'll show the camera to your hand
was it there before say no wait can you take it off for me now you gotta use soap now wait what
it's not part of the magic I have no idea how you did that I want to ask him so badly
off camera they won't tell me that might be a little bit too hard for me to learn by the
way it's still on my hands so I've got a bag of candies and I'm gonna charge one with electricity
wow wait oh what what no that was crazy how do you think he did it I don't know a string but
then he ate it and he was put his hand around it so it couldn't be a string so what is it magic
gonna put your hand here finger here rub it now put your hands around like this just like this
we're gonna keep the energy one two perfect and put your hands around and catch it now
Stage alone I'm gonna transport all these caps over here and say do you see something one two
four
I understand this is my first time doing a magic trick and he makes it look so easy it's not that
easy so you've got two cards you take the third one here you put it in between it goes really in
the middle is one two and this one is really under this one okay you agree with me that the card is
in between the two other ones right so there's one two and three and this one is in the middle
I'm gonna shake and the card is going in the bottom
what is it up today I've made a decision I'm gonna do the card trick and I'm going
to perform it with a couple of people Max and then you see how I feel but
I'm really nervous this trick is all about the presentation and the eye of
the audience you have to think about how the audience is going to perceive you
that worked now I could see a little bit of the the sliding but it worked okay okay hours until
the show starts and I have to practice let's get started I have to get this trick down because I
cannot get embarrassed in front of 400 people watch closely and see if you can figure out how
I do the trick okay I'm getting the trick but I still don't know if I can go on stage I have
to make that decision soon you've seen the videos and you can probably tell that I'm shy so being in
front of 400 people I don't know if I can do it if I can do this you guys can get over any field of
years time's running out so now I have to practice it with real people let's go come on in order to
get Salish ready to perform for 400 people we're going to start with one person one two
