-How is it going? What are we doing tonight?
-So, I love watching you watch magic, right?
But I see that a lot. I rarely get to
see you do magic. So I wanted to teach you
a trick, if that would be cool.
-I would love to. -Good idea?
-Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
You can be my apprentice.
A mentor, apprentice. -I love this.
-Okay, Miyagi, Daniel-san. -Yes!
-Okay. -"Wax on, wax off."
-Yeah, Usher, Bieber. -[ Laughs ] Yes.
-So, to do this, you need a can of soda and some cups.
I'm going to pour each of us a cup of soda.
Are you right-handed or left-handed?
-I'm right-handed. -You're right-handed.
I'm gonna have you use your nondominant hand.
So your left hand. Hold it in your left hand.
And hold it kind of like you're toasting the audience, there.
-Sure, of course. -Yeah, and just -- Yeah.
Hold it -- That's good. That's good. Freeze.
I'll do the same thing.
Fantastic.
-Wow.
Okay, yeah. [ Laughter ]
-Impressive. Yeah, amazing. [ Laughter ]
-I work out. -I gotcha.
-Cheers. Take the cup, rest it
on top of your head like that, and don't let go of it,
but just hold it so it's in line with the spine.
Alright, face the audience. So, Justin, Jimmy,
two guys, two cups. No. Two guys, two, uh...
[ Laughter ]
[ Cymbal clashes ]
Two -- Two -- Just two guys.
[ Laughter ]
-I am wearing a cup, by the way.
[ Laughter ] -Okay, so, we're gonna
make the soda in the cups disappear, using our minds.
Jimmy, there's three steps to do this.
Okay, step one is called the misdirection.
I'll do it first. Just observe.
So, I stand in one spot, I shut my eyes tight, like this.
And then, Quest, can you guys give me
a little misdirection music? That's good.
And I slowly rotate in a counterclockwise 360.
I'm thinking positive thoughts.
That's spooky. That's good.
Until I feel the light. That's good.
So, why don't you try that. Face forward.
-Uh-huh. -Shut your eyes tight.
And now slowly rotate. Slowly, slowly, slowly.
[ Laughter ]
-Alright. -Thinking positive thoughts.
-Oh, yes, I forgot about that. Yes, now I am.
-Until you feel the light, and you made the 360.
-Yeah, I feel it. -You're doing great.
Okay, open 'em up.
-Alright. -Yeah, nailed it. That's good.
-Thank you. Yeah, I can turn. -That's step one.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Not everybody can do that.
You can feel -- The soda is still there, right?
We haven't done step two. Step two is the incantation.
Take your free hand, just kind of go [Blowing sharply].
-Yeah. -"Brrr!"
[ Laughter ]
-Brrr! Brrr! Brrr! Brrr! [ Laughter ]
-A little more Cardi B, if you could.
-Oh, oh, grrr? Alright, yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Step three. Step three is the vanish,
It's where the soda disappears. I'll do it first,
and then I'll tee up your performance.
Okay, so, here we go. It's the vanishing soda trick.
[ Light laughter ] One, two, three.
Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
Stay here.
-I know -- I know how this ends.
I know how this -- I know how this trick ends, yeah.
-You do not look as happy as you did 30 seconds ago.
-Yeah. -Alright, don't be nervous.
A wise man once said, "Leap, and the net will appear."
That... [ Laughter ]
-He only said it once? -Well, yeah, he's....
-He's dead. -He died.
[ Laughter ]
-He did say it, though. -I'll count to three,
and slowly turn that cup over. -Gotcha, gotcha.
-One...two...three.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-[ Laughs ] Yeah!
That -- What in the world?!
-Well done, Grasshopper. -That was -- That was insane.
-That was a, um -- That was a trick.
That was a trick. That's, like, entry-level.
You got time for a miracle? -Sure.
-Jimmy, let's do... What if you said no?
"No, not enough time for a miracle."
I'm going to use what's left of the can here.
-Mm-hmm.
-Here, get close. This is all you.
Take your hands toward your temples
as if you're gonna kind of send the force
of the dents of the can there. -Okay.
-On three, really send it. One...two...three.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Half of you act like this happens all the time.
Jimmy is undenting a can with his mind.
[ Laughter ]
Here, we'll take it to the next level.
Watch the top, watch the top.
[ Blows sharply ]
-Wait. What?
[ Cheers and applause ]
-[ Whistles ] Go.
[ Whistling ]
[ Audience murmurs ]
-Don't do that.
-[ Laughs ]
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah!
[ Laughs ] You are awesome! Oh, my God!
Justin Willman, everybody. That was great!
