Really, I think.
-I think we should try something with Quest.

-You think I should try something?
-No, man. Come on. [ Laughter ]
-No, no, no, no. No, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
But we're gonna keep this one simple.
This is not gonna be too crazy.
Let me take a piece of thread.
Just a little piece -- -Wait.
Are you gonna sew me? -No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, nothing like that.
Just a little little piece of thread like this.
[ Light laughter ]
Can you -- Yeah, you guys can come --
Yeah, yeah. No, but look.
It's really simple. You take it.
-[ Chuckles ]
-Come on, man.
No! [ Laughter ]
-What? -I'm just eating thread.
Mmm.
-Nah, man. -Nah. It's good.
-It's gone.
-Oh, God. Aw, come on.
I'm good, dawg.
[ Laughter ]
Cut to commercial.
[ Laughter ]
-I'm gonna try to bring it back up.
[ Audience groans ] -Bring what back up?
-No, no, just a thread.
Actually, come -- Yeah, come, come, come.
Feel...
Yeah, I feel like...
You see, there's a little -- a little hair here.
-Yeah. -See that little --

[ Laughter ]
-Don't throw up.
-[ Laughs ] -No, no, no, but that --
Hold on, hold on. It has a little bit of blood.
Hold on. -It's red.
[ Audience groans ] -Oh, no.
[ Laughter ]
-Uh-oh.
-Oh.
-Hold on. Let me try to get it this way.
-Stuck in your teeth?
-Well, I feel like we could get it...
-Ugh.
-You know, you see, there's a little...
You see, there's a little -- Looks like a hair under there.
Will you grab that? See if you can pull that.
-Do you mind? -Yeah, slowly.
-Yeah, sure. -Pull. Pull it.
See? It's not a hair.
-Oh! -You can pull, pull, pull.
Pull. -Aah!
-Yeah, pull. -[ Laughing ] Oh, my God.

[ Laughter ]
-Gosh.
Oh, my gosh. -We haven't started.
-Really? -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
There's one that's, uh, fun.
-Oh, my gosh.
-And you can see all the cards are different.
-Yeah. -Can you mix them?
-Yeah.
-And, Keanu, do you mind mixing this deck, as well?
-Yeah, sure, man. -Great.
-[ Chuckles ] -Okay.
-There's a trick that I did a long time ago which is famous.
It's called the card stab.
But when I did it, I actually stabbed into a table.
It was on my first TV special,
and my my hand slid down the knife.
It was a serrated steak knife,
and I cut the tendons of my pinky,
which to this day affect me.
So I'm probably not going to do the one stabbing.
I won't be the person stabbing with the knife.
-Oh! [ Laughter ]
-That's gonna be you.
-I really don't know if I could do it, man.
-Well, just be careful. [ Laughter ]
And you can see -- you can see they're all different.
Yeah. -Just be careful.
-And then -- And then, Tariq,
do you mind just spreading them, like, across the table?
Just, you know, mixing them around?
Because he's gonna stab a card.
But hold on.
I don't want something to go wrong,
so there's a glove, Jimmy. -Okay.
-Yeah. And when you --
And you can put that on. -Oh, it's for me.
-Yeah, it's for you. -Oh, yeah, sure.
-And, Tariq, can you mix these around a little bit?
Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.
-Good. And then spread them so they're all -- all over.
-There we go. -Good. And, Keanu...
-Yeah. -We'll come over here.
You shuffled these, correct? -Yeah, yeah.
-And you looked and made sure they're all different?
-Absolutely. -Can you pull some halfway out?
It doesn't matter. A few.
Like, which one -- which was first?
-Take that one. -Take a few. Yeah.
-Take a few. Okay. -Good.
-Keanu, I just want to pull one beard hair out of your --
-Oh, yeah. -No. Just kidding.
[ Laughter ]
-So you have an ace of hearts and a 6 of clubs.
Correct? -That is correct.
-Which is the final one? The final one, give me.
Whichever you want. -Why don't you take that
ace of hearts.
-That's the final one? -Yeah.
-You're sure? -Yeah.
-Do you want to change? -No. Why?
It's a good card. [ Laughter ]
Ace of hearts is the final one? -It's a final, lovely card.
-Hold it up like this. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-Very good. And now, Jimmy, when you hold the knife,
hold it like this so you don't get hurt.
So hold the knife. Yeah.
And if you want, you can just stab into a card.
Just stab into one card. -Stab into one card.
-Yeah. Just, like, stab into a card.
But don't let the knife slip and hurt you.
But go ahead. Slab into --
Yeah. Just stab into any card.
Just stab it. And you could leave it there.
Oh, that was good.
Jimmy, you took the knife,
you stabbed into a card at random.
Come on. [ Laughter ]
Come on. And look -- and look.
You could have -- you know, all the cards.
They're all different.
-I was gonna go in the middle there, yep.
-You could've stabbed into any single card, right?
But this is the one that you stabbed into?
-Yeah.
-I'm not even sure, by the way, but...
-[ Chuckles ]
Will you lift it up and show Keanu, if you don't mind?
-No. -No.
-And look at.
-Whoa.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Yo!
It's the ace of hearts!
Oh, my God!
[ Applause ]
How in the world? You are unbelievable.
-But you didn't --
You didn't actually think that I brought a knife
just to do a card stab?
[ Laughter, audience groans ]
-Yes, I did.
[ Questlove groans ] -Will you feel that?
Make sure it's -- it's legit.
-It's sharp. It's -- -Don't cut yourself.
-It's a real knife, yeah.
Yeah. -Yeah?
-Yes, sir.
Here's a thing I've been playing with.
[ Laughter, audience groans ]
-Oh, my gosh. -Christ.
-Oh, my gosh.
Yo! Yo!
Dude, you could've stopped at the card trick.
Yeah, we would've been fine.
Dude, I was just holding it. That is a real-deal knife.
That is insane. That is serrated, by the way.
Oh, my gosh. Gosh!
[ Laughter ]
[ Applause ]
-You did it, man.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Will you do the honors? -You want me to...?
-Yeah, yeah. Go ahead. Slowly.
Jimmy, come. Slowly, slowly.
-Jimmy, why don't you --
-No, no, you got it.
-I got it? -You're my guest.
-Slowly. Slowly.
Pull it slowly out.
Slowly. Pull it right --
Slowly. Yeah, go ahead.
-Oh, my God. [ Audience exclaims ]
Oh, my God! [ Cheers and applause ]
That is unbelievable.
