Hi.
We're alive, baby.
Hi.
We're alive.
Great to see you.
You're looking good.
You look really good.
How many weeks has it been?
I think five months.
Five months.
Five months, yeah.
Wow.
That's September.
So yeah.
You look good.
Thank you.
All right, so I understand the Philadelphia
Eagles, since they won the Super Bowl, gave you a ring.
Yeah.
Thank you.
[APPLAUSE]
So I was traded.
But I spent a lot of time there.
And it's funny because life came full circle.
And it's all of us.
We followed the lead.
You treat people with kindness.
And ultimately, that's what got me invited back.
And I got a Super Bowl ring for really living a lifestyle
of trying to be kind.
And I'm very thankful.
Really cool.
That's exciting.
Really cool.
All right, and I understand you have a belated birthday
gift for me?
I do.
I'm so excited because I wanted to give this to you.
it's a belated birthday gift, so go ahead and open it up.
OK.
Yeah, and inside-- we're not going to open this yet--
it's a cupcake.
OK.
I'll take you, OK.
Yeah, here's the deal.
When I come here and do tricks, I'm usually doing all the work.
So I wanted to do something where I kind of take it out
of it.
And Ellen, here, we have some cards.
And I'm going to have you do all the shuffling.
And here's what's really cool, is
we're going to shuffle this in a much different way.
Look, you ready?
You're just going to take these and do this.
So whatever you want, you just keep shuffling them,
and just turn them over like this.
Just go crazy.
They don't have to be in a certain order, direction?
No, no, no.
And any card that's faced down, we're going to get rid of.
So when you're ready, stop and spread them out on the table.
So help me out.
Look, any card that's face down, just get rid of.
Only faced down cards, because we're
going to keep all the face up card way up.
Put that card.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
There you go.
Whooy.
OK, and now look, we've still got some left, right?
Just look.
You ready? look at this.
Check this out.
OK, go.
Go, go, go, go.
Any one that's faced down, you're going to get rid of.
OK, let's go.
You want to keep going or is this good?
No, that's good.
Toss it.
There we go.
And I tell you what, how about this?
How about this?
We got two piles.
Why don't you-- OK, stop, stop.
Is that the pile?
Yeah.
OK, ready?
So look.
Ah, ah.
OK, watch this.
Watch this.
We've got the box.
And we're going to stick these cards in the box
so you don't even know what you're doing.
And you're just going to--
and then put it on the table and dump.
Perfect, any card face down.
Look, oh, my gosh.
We got two face cards left.
Turn the box over.
Look, look, look.
Yeah, I'm going to put them inside, and then
hold it up over, and then dump.
Stop.
Check this out.
One card remains.
One card only.
Is it queen of clubs?
I got a gift for you.
Open the gift.
This is so sick.
Inside, there's a deck of cards.
Don't open it because this is why.
I thought I'd take a bunch of cards, make a prediction,
and every card matches the only card face up, face down
and went crazy.
You made all the decisions.
I did nothing.
All right, hold on.
I'm a magician.
Yeah, this is where it gets real funny real quick.
I'll tell you what, maybe I can turn the ace into the queen.
So, everybody, keep an eye on the ace.
This would actually really, really cool.
Watch.
That would have been good though, huh?
That would have been sick.
I'll tell you what though.
If we keep an eye on ace, maybe we can do something else.
If we just cover it this way, we can get it to say something.
Oh, wait, it says unwrap your gift.
It says unwrap your gift.
Wait, there was a box.
Oh, it unwrap your gift.
Remember it came in the box?
Yeah.
I'll tell you what.
Why don't you just poke your hole?
You see, if we just kind of--
look, just grab that.
And maybe if we tear this down, I
think if we unwrapped your gift, Ellen, we
could see that you had a free choice.
You shuffled the cards face up, face down.
You did what you wanted.
We eliminated only the face down, and here is your gift.
We thought we would predict this,
because sure enough the card that you picked
will match the box right there, the queen of clubs.
She is the queen.
Thank you.
Come on.
We're back with John Dorenbos, who has had quite a life.
And now someone is making a movie of your life.
Unbelievable, because you grew up as a kid,
you don't really think that.
You don't really think that you're going to make a movie.
So it's humbling.
It hasn't really hit me yet.
But I've been through a lot.
I've made some mistakes, and tried to cope with them.
So I hope it inspires people.
I hope they can learn from the things I've learned.
And we'll see how it goes.
Who do you want to play you?
Yeah, I've thought about this.
I'm not the best looking guy.
So a Zac Efron would be pretty sick,
because he's ridiculously good looking.
That would be pretty sick, or Chris Pratt, stud.
So hopefully it's a guy up here because I'm--
Chris would be great.
That'd be awesome.
If you know him, give him a call.
I do know him, and I will.
What's the next trick?
All right, this is cool.
So we have a deck.
And it's in new deck order, OK?
So the cards are in order here, ace through 10,
or one through 10.
I'm going to take the one through 10 here.
And we're going to stick them in this wine glass like this so I
cannot touch them.
They're going to go just like this.
And then I'm going to give you the same thing.
I'm going to give you the one through 10 of hearts
right there.
Got it?
Yep.
I want you to take those in your hand and shuffle them.
This is what I think is really, really cool.
We're all here because you inspire us.
And what I found is that if we can
follow the path of the people that we want to be like,
it makes our life 10 times better.
Your creating a path right now.
You inspire us everyday.
You encourage us every day.
Now shuffle them face down.
Yeah, yeah.
So you don't even know.
No, I don't know.
Perfect.
I don't know.
That's great.
We're just going to try to get on your path.
And check this out.
You shuffled these cards, and you have them
in a certain order, an order that you didn't know
and that I didn't know.
And here's what we're going to do.
I'm going to hold these up like this,
and we're going to fan them out so you can see them.
And just do me a favor.
Just say stop.
Stop.
Perfect.
We'll go straight down.
Whatever this is, it's a four of hearts.
We're going to reverse it.
I'm going to put these in the wine glass
like so, just like this.
Hey, Ellen, I can speak for everybody in this room right
here.
We're just trying to follow your lead.
And I think if we just start one card at a time-- here,
I got an ace.
But if you just cover it, you shuffled a five right there.
So I thought I would start with the five
and then put mine in order, just to follow your lead.
You had an eight.
I thought I'd shuffle an eight.
You had an ace.
I thought I'd shuffle an ace.
Get these in order.
There's the tens.
Check this out.
There's the nines.
Let's keep going.
There's the threes.
[APPLAUSE]
Hold on.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
You could have reversed any card you wanted, any card at all.
You chose this bad boy right here.
You chose the four.
So I thought right here, we'd go through there
and I would reverse the four.
And sure enough, there's the sixes.
Ellen, we love you.
Keep doing what you're doing because you're changing lives.
We're taking your lead.
There's the sevens.
I'm John Dorenbos.
Thank you guys for having me.
We love everything you do.
Thank you, guys.
