I to around the magic and comedy stuff
hand me the question jump this goes well you win then when you did well let's

clip right here i'll be this is gonna go in front of you when i was a kid i was
fascinated by counting cards
this isn't a hundred percent but hopefully you're gonna notice a pattern
here we're gonna shoot one out and hopefully look familiar

you want me pulling out your full cut out your reach in there and just pulled
up

be a 20
that's ok watch the eighth it's a shake

don't think the number one trick by comedy magician has pulled out here so
that there's a 3 only we can shoot out of the center but but there's a4 right

the cards but take all of them and shuffle all those clubs back in order
like that
yeah
had you said hearts I said what that one was shuffled all the hearts in order
had you said speeds we would have actually shuffle of spades in order just
like that
before we started we folded card we put in a paper clip we didn't look at it

see it on my blindfold myself
show the camera show the crowd look I'm not I'm not looking I'm gonna look down
here okay
hey everybody think of this card figure the color the shape decides everything
about it and here's all I'm gonna do is I'm gonna draw this card
ladies and gentlemen this is ESP at its best so far so good
here we go so when I get this right
this is so sick ladies and gentlemen the car that everybody here is thinking of
me all the cards are thinking if you're feeling right now
mmm is none other than the ace of clubs killing it dead that up it
no okay hold on that's amateur hour
you guys thought I drew the ace of clubs no way I thought I'd step this up ladies
and gentlemen right here before you
I do an entire deck of cards and Neos card is inside see that didn't mean to
you later
I tell you what this would be good trick what was it you may tell us he's gonna
come with a lot right now yeah
Lucia okay good
what if I could change that watch watch the ACE five clubs i got the suit right
so i just got a few clubs watch the ace
that would be good i like changing the way we walked out of the room is correct
as I couldn't stop it
remember earlier I said it was inside yeah
No
Tonio and now look I didn't want to do this but look just to show you that five
has been thrown on there the entire time
John
not making a little bit nervous
yeah
good
and I do something
golden butter for you how they build speechless when I'm speechless your man
do we have a prediction in a bottle I wrote something down and we're going to
set it right by you side now the last time I was here I did the drawing so I
thought we'd mix this up and I'm gonna put these poster boards in front of you
you guys have markers in front of you guys what I want you to make sure nobody
can see this but I want you to draw something and keep it to yourself
ok so cold it close to you draw whatever you want to Simon to keep it close to me
like put up against your chest i can't see into right here's the deal
it's a personality test so you can actually figure out a lot about people
and what they're thinking what they're believing their hopes their dreams dude
strong like accidents swords and Viking ships chick straw like birds and flowers
you know in sunshines so when nobody can see this
everybody put them facedown right are they all face down on the table
okay i don't see any MLB collect them all and I want you to shuffle them up so
you don't know the order and I don't know the order
alright and now we're going to try and get in the heads of these guys and women
can be whatever one you want facedown don't look perfect
oh oh this is beautiful now as you guys can see this is a smaller hearted person
I i like the big hearts but this is a little tiny heart but I see success in
this one and if we actually go with this
I mean Heidi I think you have a big heart maybe I think you do too but for
some reason this heart is leading me to you did you draw this
hey there one way 141 thank you another one and another one right here we go
oh this is perfect i love it you know what this reminds me up big guy in a
little coat so look how i love it but Simon I'm just guessing
I don't know what this looks like something you'd wear i'm guessing
it is but it is yours my sweater that's your sweater that's why I came over to
do 24 to be with anyone
oh this is great this is great because believe it or not people will actually
do self portraits on how they view themselves something that flies in the
way now Simon I Love You Man III don't think this is yours so Heidi I'm just
gonna guess that your the butterfly the group right now we got one left
we got one left to hold on we got one left and it's obviously Simon Thomas
years i'm gonna try and guess what this is so I don't want to see it
hi I'm gonna take your butterfly we're gonna go like this Simon I'm going to
draw a sketch all i want to do is think about what you drew
don't lie to me don't be that guy I went ok i got this think about your drawing
Simon simple yes or no will do my triangle match yours did you draw a pic
on a treadmill no no ladies and gentlemen has predicted no I'm haha
thank you thank you thank you
now hold on that's not very good American wants to see what you do
assignment let's check this out
oh this this is totally I don't know if that's a machine gun as a dog that's a
dog
wow ok that's a beautiful dog
now before we started before we started actually I had a premonition and i put
in this bottle and i thought i would draw what you true so do me a favor and
take that bottle and hand it to Heidi Heidi hold it loosely I don't want to
break to bat in your hand
and then all my god I i got practice in the morning so i gotta protect me so
Simon want you hold this and smash the bottle closely when all this is a bad
idea
this is a really bad at you I have an idea hold on hold on this is better
I i learned that you know when in doubt it's always a good thing to wrap it up
so do me a favor and throw the bottle in the back
alright perfect now Simon bust open
okay on three but I guess that'll work
there's a ok there's a prediction in there and it's an end and i made this
self-explanatory with a little red tab that says open
ok don't turn over here right there yeah and taps and I thought man Simon for
whatever reason i thought you were going to draw a really bad dog
in fact I thought it would look like a machine gun now hold on hold on
turn the envelope over itself labeled secret pocket
come on man not only did I predict you're drawing but take those out
I said you know what I can take it I think Heidi is going to be a butterfly
and you know what I said how I knew it was you all along my man is here we have
a t-shirt and your sweater and I tell you what Mel B you are the heart of my
life
MLB there's your heart ladies and gentlemen I'm John your inbox peace out

chest Simon you're up first
everybody stand up line up behind Simon how we hold that journal you walk around

and I tell you what there you are how we going to oklahoma
thank you
we don't know how he does it you
yes yes
thank you
here's what i wanted to do we're gonna trick with the tues because I love him
you have a sharpie in front of you i want you each to sign the tues going to
write your name on there and it's a great way to get an autograph
Simon if you do me a favor I want you to write the name of somebody that meant a
lot to in your life it could be a nickname could be a person it doesn't
matter but somebody that wasn't or do ya on that card
yep all right Howie we got your two yeah Mel B we got yours
Heidi we got yours and Simon we can all see it yeah it's okay i've seen this
trick haha you wrote the name eric who is Eric my son i love this
remember that ok today today I wanted to take an opportunity to tell America what
magic is meant to me
magic saved my life and there's been plenty of times where I was lost and I
don't have the answers and I didn't know where to go
so what i did is i turn the magic and help me find myself
it simply taught me don't hate
don't blame and forgive and with that I think we can all find yourself don't
hate imagine if we take all the heat out of our lives
Howie I believe we will find yourself MLB
may we all take the blame out and fill our hearts with love and I believe we
will find ourselves
Heidi I've had a lot of things happen in my life and forgiveness has given me the
most beautiful thing in the world and that's happiness may we all forgive a
little more and we will find ourselves
Wow Simon we're going to shuffle these cards face up and face down and if you
think about it this right here this is life when everything is going so perfect
and yet tragedy and casts a strike us when we least expect it and it's what we
all have in common we all face this but I think the difference is do we decide
and do we choose to live in vision or do we live in circumstance and I know about
you guys but I wake up every single morning and I choose to live in vision
to find happiness knowing that life will work its way out and we will find
ourselves
I tell you what every one of us can relate to this when life just kicks us
when we're down in those moments that life just decides to bury us but if we
stick together and we believe in one another we will rise to the top and
ladies and gentlemen that is how we will never lose ourselves
I'm gonna go a minute ago I told you guys that magic saved my life
the magics not these hands not these cards it's in everyone of us it's in our
breath it's in our touch it in our words it's what we think about this world than
what we think about each other and Simon I had you write the name eric and i
thought i'd make a little to-do list for you every night
may the magic forever live in your home grab your son until Eric you love him
and cross that off your list every single bite and ladies and gentlemen
made this world be magic
I love you this has been one of the greatest opportunities in my life i am
john bus beat out ladies and gentlemen
yeah
