- Hey, guys.
Thanks so much for checking out this special spooky episode
of "Odd Man Out" for Halloween.
- And a big thank you to our sponsor,
Manscaped.
And I think it's pretty appropriate
because the new Weed Whacker is like
magic.
It's basically like a magic wand
that you put up your nose,
and then all your nose hair vanished
because it is that powerful.
You can get it as part of the new Performance Package,
which includes all the tools you love
for the below-waist premium hygiene you need.

- Thank you to Manscaped for keeping our pubes trimmed
and nose free of weeds.
- Enjoy the episode.
- Happy Halloween.
- Ready? Ready?
(cheerful Halloween music)
- I'm. (laughs)
I'm the only person who's gonna be entertained
by that though.
- [Jeff] What was your card?
- It was a two of Hearts.
- Yo, no way, Bonnie.
That's exactly the card I hoped you would say.
The two
of
(upbeat swing music)
- [Bonnie] We brought together seven magicians.
- I am a magician.
- I am
a magician.
- And I'm a magician.
- I'm a magician.
- Hollywood's favorite magician.
- I
am a magician.
(party horn honks)
- [Bonnie] One is a liar.
If the group discovers who the liar is,
they'll win a cash prize.
If the liar survives,
they win the cash prize.
This is "Odd Man Out".
(chimes tinkling)
(upbeat bass music)
- Don't have much of a game plan at all.
- If you're a real performing magician,
there's experiences that you just would
have to have for yourself.
So there's no way you could fake it.
- I think the person who is not a magician
is probably gonna say the most obvious answers
like, "My favorite magician is Harry Houdini."
- I'm Spanish, but I am based in London.
I don't know if they're gonna think I'm the mole
just because the fact that I'm a girl.
- I'm just excited to see these other magicians
and talk about magic.
This is what I do every single day,
so it should be a lot of fun.
- This is our Trick Round.
Everyone will get three minutes to perform a trick
for the group.
Let's begin with number one.
- First off, I'm Nico Magic.
What's up?
Let's try something here.
I got a bunch of different, random cards.
Now, these are all Halloween themed.
We've got things like candy, ghost, skull, mummy,
pumpkin, clown, goblin, gravestone.
Just to name some.
Now, you can have any one of these.
I want it to be a completely fair choice.
So whichever one that you want,
I'm gonna go through 'em.
You can name one, whichever one.
- He seems legit already just by the performance.
- I'm gonna do skull.
- You wanna go with skull?
Let's see. Where was that?
I'm gonna give you one chance.
Do you wanna change your mind,
or do you wanna keep it skull?
- He knows how to do video magic.
- I'm gonna keep it skull.
- You wanna keep it?
Okay. Interesting.
I'm gonna leave it right here.
Hopefully we can see that the entire time.
Now look, I'm gonna try something.
You could have had anyone.
That was completely fair.
I'm gonna show you that the backs of these ones,
all these cards, are completely blank on the back of them.
But last night I had a vision, okay?
I had a vision.
In fact, I was so confident
that you were gonna keep it skull
that I actually took a marker,
and I wrote a big black X on the back
of one card.
- That's so good. - You can see,
it's really on there.
It's not coming off. - I love it.
- And that is your selection,
skull right there.
- [Bonnie] I love it.
- That's my trick.
- I almost thought goblin.
- I know, you could've changed your mind,
but that would've been awkward.
- Number two.
- How you doing?
Okay.
I was thinking to do
'cause a lot of people are doing
card tricks,
- Ooh.
Okay.
- I mean, it's pretty cool, right?
Just a little bit with the iPhone. (laughs)
Okay, no, let's see
(coin clinks)
a little with a coin.
Let me show you something cool.
All right.
So.
- I like how she's got magic props.
- I guess magicians knows The Rising Card,
but this is, I call it, The Rising Coin
'cause watch,
when I shake my hand,
you'll see how.
(bell dings)
- Oh, that's. - Changes.
- That's really good.
- And watch. The next one.
(bell dings)
And look, even if I shake a little bit more
slowly,
just jumps all the way to the top.
Bam.
(Jeff applauds)
- Bravo, Bravo.
That was dope.
- That gets some
(party horn honks)
confetti.
- Let's go number three.
Let's go to Ollie.
- Hi.
So I'm gonna show you this magic trick,
and you see that all the cards different?
- Oh, look at that spread.
He's legit.
- So what I'm gonna try to do is
I'm gonna actually try to find the four Aces.
The first one,
if I give it a cut,
and I give it two more cuts,
I think the first one happens
to be 36 from the top so I can
(card pops)
try to get it right there.
- Whoo.
- He's got card skills, dude.
- The second one,
I think probably is only five from the top,
so I'll try and do something a little different.
If I just try and shake the deck,
- Oh wow.
- and the card that happened to pop out
that's the next Ace.
I give the deck-
- You can't vote a kid out.
This is so good.
- Another cut.
I should be able to find
the next Ace,
and can you see that
the deck is shuffled here, right?
- Yeah. - I'll give it one shuffle,
(rising orchestral music)
and I'll take the deck
and 1 in 52 chance.
I'll use my thumb just to pull out one card
and that happens to be the last Ace.
(Jeff claps)
- [Bonnie] Love it.
Awesome. - So good.
- [Bonnie] Thank you, number three.
- I'm glad I don't have to follow up that kid.
- The future of magic is in good hands.
- I'm gonna switch it up for the rest of the order.
Let's do number six.
- Okay.
So we've got a deck of cards,
and I just want you to free select,
so say stop whenever, right?
- Stop.
- So I'm looking away, right?
We're gonna pick two cards.
Here's this
and then this card as well, okay?
You see those?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
So you've got those two cards in your head.
I'm gonna try to remember,
figure out what they are so.
(eerie Halloween music)
- A bold move.
(Sonia chuckling)
- Okay.
All right.
Was one of them
the Ace of Spades?
- It was.
- Okay.
Watch.
So we're gonna find the other card.
I know you're probably not that amazed
because this is Zoom and everything,
and nothing's amazing over Zoom,
but we're gonna try to do this.
So if you can see, I'm drawing it to be like
a 3D kind of thing, right?
And so it looks like a 3D card box, right?
And you'll see it's kinda cool
because if I take this card box,
and I just kind of shake it like this,
it looks as though - Dude, what?
- the card is actually rising out of the card box,
and that is the four of Diamonds?
- Yes!
- [Joseph] Okay, cool.
- Yeah.
- [Joseph] All right.
- [Bonnie] That was awesome.
Thank you. - Thank you.
- Number six had a great trick.
- I don't wanna follow that either.
- Let's go number five.
- Am I allowed to say my name?
I get paranoid.
Yes?
- Yeah, you can say your name.
- Okay. Hi.
Okay.
Hi, I'm Zak Mirz.
I would like to show you something, Bonnie.
In theater class,
have you seen the illusion
where someone takes a sword
and they put it through a person's body
and on this way it looks like, you know,
but this way it isn't, right?
- Seems legit, just seeing the way he's talking.
- I want to try something, all right?
I've got this
(knife clicks)
knife right over here.
I know, danger.
And I've got
a deck of cards.
So check it out.
The knife goes all the way through the deck
of cards just like so,
but what's interesting is
- Is he stabbing a really nice deck?
- if I let go,
it's kinda still there,
but if I show you,
it actually is all the way through the deck of cards.
Pretty interesting.
(soft music box music)
But there are no cards inside at all.
- Oh yeah. It's got his name on it.
- See, if I take this out,
and I show you what's inside,
it is a solid
block.
- I know this. This is killer.
- Half inch
piece
(knife clanking)
of
(Sonia chuckling)
(knife clanking)
steel.
- Kind of gutsy for him to do a trick like this.
(Bonnie laughing)
(party horn honks)
- Where'd he go?
He's a magician.
That guy's, he
Trust me.
- Number seven, are you ready?
- My name is Mervant.
I'm gonna show you something really cool.
Bonnie, have you ever had your mind read before?
- I don't think so.
- All right. Great.
This is kinda like that, but a little bit different.
I used to do Rubik's Cubes growing up as a kid.
And once I became a magician,
it actually became a lot easier
(chimes tinkling)
to solve the Rubik's Cube,
but I'm gonna try something with you right through Zoom.
Are you ready?
- He's confident. - [Bonnie] Yeah.
- I have another cube here.
They say there are six sides to the cube.
I'm gonna ask you to name a side front, back, left,
right, top, bottom.
And as you name a side, I will turn that side.
Front, back, left, right, top, bottom.
It is up to you.
Go, go for it.
- Right.
- You'll go right.
Wonderful.
- [Bonnie] Bottom.
- Bottom. Let's go.
Keep going. Keep going.
Couple more.
- [Bonnie] Top.
- Top. Here we go, top.
Keep 'em coming.
- [Bonnie] Left.
- Left.
- Front.
Three more, three more.
- [Bonnie] Back.
- That would be back.
Two more, two more.
- Left.
- That would be a left.
And one more, one more.
- [Bonnie] Bottom.
- And bottom.
Now, you have no idea what you just did here,
but in a way you actually solved this Rubik's Cube.
Let me show you.
You'll notice there's a bag right here.
Inside this bag,
there is actually
another cube,
but I want you to look closely.
I want you to see this.
Can you see that?
That's actually a perfect match right there.
Not just on one side, but check it out.
That is two sides, a perfect match.
Not just two sides,
that would be three sides, a perfect match.
That would be four, every single side.
Five sides, look.
Six sides of the cube.
A perfect, a perfect match.
- That is fantastic.
- Whoosh!
- Those cubes are really popular right now.
- Number seven is also a magician.
- All right.
And last but not least, number four.
- Morning. - Ah, but this dude
has the musta-
- My name is Jeff Black.
- Jeff Black sounds like a magician name.
- And today I brought a deck of cards,
but this one's a little bit strange.
It's actually a blank deck of cards.
Have you ever seen a blank deck of cards, Bonnie?
Okay. First time for everything.
We're gonna try to do magic with this,
but first I want you to think of any card.
Don't even say it.
Just think of it in your mind.
Do you have one?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
So I'm gonna reach
through the camera right into your mind,
and I'm gonna pull out the one card
that you're thinking of.
And I think this is a great choice.
I think, in fact, I'm gonna commit.
This is the card right
here.
I'd like this to stay in frame.
Okay.
So for the first time, I'm committed,
would you go ahead and just say it out loud?
What was your card?
- It was a two of Hearts.
- Yo. No way, Bonnie.
That's exactly the card I hoped you would say.
Now, I don't wanna brag,
but this really is the two
of
Hearts.
And that's the challenge of a blank deck, obviously.
If it was printed that would've been it,
but thank you for humoring me.
In fact, let's use your magic to overcome that challenge.
So, if you had a magic word, what would it be?
If it could be anything, what would it be?
- Sparkle.
- [Jeff] Sparkle.
Okay.
We're gonna do this with one hand, okay?
Can you still see the blank card
if I hold it like that?
One, two, three
sparkle.
And it prints one random card.
Now of course,
I know that isn't your card,
but you did more than that, Bonnie.
You printed two cards.
Oh, you didn't stop there though.
You printed every
single
card
in the deck.
- Ooh.
- In fact, I know it's already very impressive, right?
But the best part isn't that,
not that you printed every card in my hand,
but honestly, the best part is you printed the one
I wasn't even touching,
the one that you merely thought of.
The two
of
- Dude. (clapping)
Yes. It's so good.
I love, (laughing)
the dab.
I think I might get kicked out
'cause everybody else did really good.
And especially doing it virtual.
Let me say, that was fantastic.
- I mean, I'm just very psyched that I did my trick right,
'cause it was pretty difficult.
- The youngest magician,
some of the best handling and presentation I've seen
from someone his age.
- Saw some pieces of card flicks
and sleight of hand,
things that take a lot of practice.
- The ones who did the arm trick seemed a bit more nervous
than a lot of the other people,
which is sign number one to me,
which you might not be a magician.
I forget his name.
I'm sorry.
I'm terrible with names, but
the arm guy.
- Number one was a great performer.
I didn't sense any nerves,
but his trick, in my opinion, was the easiest to perform.
- Even if his trick, it was very creative,
I think I'm gonna go to number six.
- I am going to vote for the sword guy.
The guy who pushed the sword,
the knife through the card.
I can't remember.
I have bad memory.
I'm pretty suspicious of him
'cause he could just pulled it off
after about a minute of handling what he had.
- I am voting for number six.
It seemed like they had a lot of nerves
around performing that trick as if it was brand new.
- I'm gonna vote for knife guy.
It's the only trick that doesn't use cards
and isn't immediately obvious what his skill level is.
- I don't know.
I think they're all magicians,
but I have to vote for someone.
The guy that did the arm thing.
- [Bonnie] The votes are in.
The person eliminated this round is
(suspenseful music)
number six.
Thank you, number six.
- That sucked. (laughs)
Doing it over Zoom was pretty tough.
If it was in person,
I think I would've stood a pretty good chance.
I should've just had like a deck of cards
stacked up behind me.
Like who does that, you know what I mean?
Look at this, look at the, look at this.
Look at this.
I should've put this up there.
I should. Well look at this.
Wow.
(chimes tinkling)
- What's up, guys?
This is so fun.
- Hey, guys. - Nice performance.
- What's going on?
Hey. Hey. - That was sick.
- Ollie, you're amazing.
You're so good, buddy. - Thank you.
- That was so good, man.
- Never seen that.
- Guys, where are you based?
- I'm from Dallas, Texas.
So I say y'all a lot.
So, go Cowboys.
- Philadelphia, PA home and raised
on the playgrounds where I spend most of my days.
- Ah.
- LA.
- Oh, right near the, what's that place
in LA where they do magic?
- Magic Castle.
- I went to the Magic Castle once.
- [Jeff] Yeah?
How was it? - You went to the Magic?
Who did you see?
Who was your favorite magician there?
- David Regal was on.
He was like one of my-
- Did he do this trick right here, or no?
- Yeah. He invented like (beep).
- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
We're still on YouTube, bro.
Don't give too much away. (laughs)
- Yeah, this is YouTube.
No methods
or technical.
I get nervous about that.
- How many years have you guys done magic for?
- I've been since I was 15.
- 15? Wow.
- Yeah. Eight, nine.
I mean, whenever I saw that Blaine special
when I was a kid so.
- That was the one for me too.
David Blaine.
That's the one.
- I was in it for like an hour.
Oh, not an hour.
A year and a half probably.
- Year and half?
- You're insane for a year and a half, number three.
Respect.
- Hey, Ollie. Hey, buddy.
You remember me, okay?
When you grow older,
and then if you need someone to work for you,
you let me know, buddy, okay?
- Absolutely.
I know you got an amazing start.
How about conventions,
you guys have been to MAGIC Live?
- [Jeff] Not yet.
- [Nico] I have not.
- First time last year.
It was amazing.
- Here from Europe is Blackpool.
It's expensive to go all the way to MAGIC Live.
- I wanna go to Blackpool.
- Yeah. I wanna go to Blackpool as well.
That's one on my list.
I've been to Magifest.
- Number one, who's your favorite magician,
or what's your favorite magic book?
- My favorite magician is,
I gotta give it to David Blaine.
I know that's kind of like a lot
of people's favorite magician,
but yeah, David Blaine's my favorite magician.
Favorite magic book would be probably 13,
I'm forgetting the name.
13?
- Steps.
- Steps to, yeah, Mentalism probably my favorite.
- Classic.
- Why David Blaine?
- I like David Blaine 'cause I feel like he really,
you know,
(dog barking)
brought attention to the whole street magic thing.
And he was the really one who went out and recorded it
and had his first special.
And I think that was probably what inspired me
to kind of go do something similar.
- Okay. We have five seconds.
Let's just.
- Oh, thanks, Ollie.
Sorry, man.
(bell rings)
- Jeff kind of singled me out and was like,
"Hey, what's your favorite magic book?"
And I was like, "dah."
- I love talking about magic.
I love meet,
I've never met these
Ollie's awesome.
I really like Ollie a lot.
- I think we got rid of the mole. (laughs)
Do I have to get rid of someone?
Yes or yes?
I'll say number one.
- Yeah.
My vote is gonna be number two.
I'm sorry, number two.
No wait. That's not right.
- Number one.
His favorite magician is David Blaine.
That is a totally legitimate choice
to have for a favorite magician.
It's just rather public.
- I told you at the beginning,
no one's favorite magician is the magician
who just, like, is the most popular magician.
Everyone has their own unique one.
I think there's something up with him.
- I'm gonna do Jeff Black just 'cause I have to vote,
but I still think he's a magician.
But I like his mustache too.
- Number one, smelling kind of moley.
Mole patrol.
- I definitely feel like I'm about to get voted out
for some reason.
- [Bonnie] The person eliminated this round is
(suspenseful music)
number one.
Sorry, number one.
(easy-going bass music)
- What?
Guys,
that hurt. (laughs)
Nah, it's all good.
I should've came in with a more powerful trick
to kind of show off my card skills.
And number two, saying David Blaine
was my favorite magician
because even though that is true,
David Blaine's the most well-known magician.
I could see why they would think that I am not a magician
because that's my answer, as weird as that is.
- Thumbs up if you wish to continue the game,
or thumbs down if you think you caught the mole
and you want to end the game.
Three,
two,
one.
Go.
(easy-going drum music)
All right.
So majority rules.
(chimes tinkling)
If the light behind me turns green,
you guys have voted the mole out,
and you have won.
If the light behind me turns red,
the mole is still in the game,
and you have lost.
(drum rolls)
(bell dings)
- [Jeff] Aye!
(confetti canon pops)
- [Man] Voila!
- [Bonnie] Can I please have my mole,
my fake magician raise his hand?
(suspenseful music)
One,
two,
three.
- That was rough, guys.
I was watching the performances go
and I'm like, "Oh my gosh. There's no way."
Why did I pick a card trick?
Oh my gosh.
- Oh, man.
That is so fun. You did it so well.
How long did you work on that for?
- Well, okay.
So I have some amateur magic background,
but I've never done it professionally.
So I grew up super shy and magic was a way
of kind of being able to walk up to random groups
of strangers and just show them something.
- The moment and the energy when I first saw magic
when I was a kid was kind of the reaction,
the energy I wanted to have around me
in my job or art forms.
- I used to think that I needed to put messages
in my tricks,
and I realized that just bringing
out the inner child is enough.
- It is all about the audience
and just made them forget
about the real world for a little like five seconds.
- I'm just happy I stayed in this.
(Joseph laughs)
- No, that was awesome.
- Number three, how old are you, dude?
- I just turned nine on Wednesday.
- Oh, you're awesome, dude.
You're good on card flicks and everything already?
Amazing. - [Jeff] Congrats.
- Happy birthday, man.
- Once COVID is over, "Odd Man Out" reunion
at Blackpool, let's do it.
- Hey, we're all family. - [Sonia] Yay!
- We're all family, even number six.
- I will ask my mom. I will ask my mom.
(upbeat music)
