- Everybody please welcome Kid Ace.
(cheering)
Alright, welcome to the show man.
He's gonna show us a few illusions.
So, why don't you take it away?
- Definitely.
So before we do anything,
I wanna make a connection, OK?
I'm gonna show you my favorite trick
and my favorite trick is when a magician is onstage
and there's a puff of smoke or some sort of misdirection
and then the magician disappears,
but the coolest part is the magician always
reappears somewhere else in the theater.
Well, we're gonna do this on a smaller scale,
but before we do anything, what I'd like you to do
is hold both your hands out in front of you.
Face me.
Perfect and keep em about right there.
Make two fists.
Face the audience.
Perfect, stay just like that.
So I'm gonna draw an X.
That X is gonna represent the magician.
I'm gonna draw it on my wrist.
- [Steve] Yeah.
- So that X right there,
all we need is a puff of smoke, right?
Fog machine, but I'm on a budget.
So, puff of smoke,
it's my puff of smoke, it's my special effects,
and boom, the magician's gone.
(clapping)
Now that's not the coolest part
because the magician's in transit right now
and I did tell you that the magician
always reappears somewhere else in the theater.
Out loud, Mr. Harvey, what I'd like you to do is
choose left or right?
- Left.
- Left?
Drop your right fist.
Drop it down, keep your left fist right here.
(clicks)
Go like this.
Follow me.
Open your hand.
(clapping)
- I don't like being tricked.
I'm really too slick for stuff like this.
I don't like it.
- So, that was pretty cool.
I wanna try something else if that's OK with you.
(laughing)
If that's OK with you.
- Yeah, OK.
- [Kid] Is that OK?
- Yeah.
- Alright cool, so we're gonna go over here.
- Can I un-ball this fist?
- Oh yeah, you can relax now.
We're gonna go over here.
After you.
(cheering)
Now we need,
we need some dramatic lighting right now.
We need some dramatic lighting.
I have a few items for you.
A few items for you.
- How I look?
I look good out here?
'Cause if I look good,
I'm gon' do this at my house. - I have one more thing
coming out, one more thing coming out.
Excellent.
So, thank you.
So, Steve, I have a solid glass pitcher.
What I'd like you to do is grab it by the handle.
Excellent and step behind right here,
this clear plexiglass box.
As you can see, there's a slot right here
cut out in the back, that's for your arm.
In a moment, I'm gonna have you place the pitcher
all the way down and hold it right there.
You can do that.
- Do that now?
- Yeah, perfect.
And hold it right there, excellent.
- Rest on it or just hold it in the air?
- You can hold it in the air.
Now, we did something together,
but this time, I wanna use
everyone in the studio audience right now.
What I need you guys to do,
as loud as you can, I want you to clap your hands
because if we get enough sound frequencies
pointed in this direction, specifically toward the pitcher,
sometimes we can get something really cool to happen.
So, do that now.
(cheering and clapping)
Keep going, keep going, keep going!
Keep going.
(glass shattering)
(cheering)
(laughing)
- Hey y'all, let's hear it one more time for Kid Ace!
