-Welcome back to the show, uh...
-Thank you so much for having me.
This is nice.
-Uh, yeah, it's good to have you on here,
and at the desk.
How's the family? Everyone good?
-Yeah, I just had a baby, actually.
-I know you did. Yeah, exactly. Congratulations!
-Thank you. I appreciate it.
-Now, you just came in right now, you shook my hand.
-Yes.
-Now, that, already,
I feel like something happened
to me already.
-It might have. It might have.
Uh, actually, I'd like to try something with you, right now.
It's actually one of my most favorite creations.
-Okay.
-But, before we do that, I got to warm up a little bit.
So, quite literally, we're gonna do something with some fire,
with some matches.
-Okay.
-I have a pack of matches here,
and I don't know if you can see this,
but I'd like you to just touch one of those matches,
any one at all.
-Okay.
That one. -That one right there.
We're gonna take it out.
-Okay.
-I want you to hold onto that match.
And I'm gonna close the match pack.
And I want you to hold out your hand.
-Okay.
-Fantastic.
I won't burn you.
-[ Laughs ] This is his trick.
-Squeeze those matches tight.
-Yep.
Okay.
[ Blows lightly ]
[ Laughter ]
-Did you feel --
Did you feel that?
-I...
-Well, you feel --
-I mean, am I supposed to be turned on, or what the...?
[ Laughter ]
I mean, so far, it's working for me.
This is, uh -- This is fantastic.
-Jimmy, open up your hand.
Open up the matches.
Take a look inside.
-Whoa.
-Inside, a match.
And check that out.
That is actually reattached on there.
-Wow. -But, wait, wait.
Okay, so, that's sort of the warm-up.
We're gonna take this just a little bit further, okay?
I want you -- -I would take that.
I mean, I'm psyched without even knowing how the hell...
How'd that happen?
-Hold on. Hold your hand out again.
I want you to hold the matches again.
We're gonna do a card trick.
Okay, we're gonna take it a little bit further
by doing a card trick.
I've got a deck of cards here, and I'm gonna go through them,
and in a second, what I want you to do is,
as I sort of riffle through them...
-Mm-hmm. -...I just want you to say, "Stop," whenever you want.
-Sure. -Okay, so, here we go.
-Stop.
-Right there?
-Yes. -Look at the card.
-Yeah. -Remember it.
Just remember it. You see it? -I see it. Yes.
-Commit it to memory.
Lock that image in your head.
-Got it. -Okay? Nice. Perfect.
Perfect, perfect, perfect.
Uh...
[ Laughter ]
Jimmy, I want you to place your other hand on top of the deck.
-Okay. -Good.
I want you to look at me.
I want you to think of the card.
Now, in the deck, there's red cards and...
Okay, good, that's great. That's fantastic.
-I didn't do anything.
-Okay. No, it's a red card. It's a red card.
Okay, good.
Uh, so there's hearts and diamonds.
You blinked. You guys see.
So, it's a diamond.
-What's going on, dude?!
-There's number cards...
-Uh-huh. -...and picture cards.
[ Laughter ]
I feel like you might be throwing me off.
Okay, so is it a number card?
No, you're trying to make it a little obvious.
Uh...
Number card?
Yeah, okay.
Uh...
There's odds and evens.
Odds.
[ Laughter ]
Odds. It might be an odd. -Odds and evens.
You would think.
-Yeah. Okay, so... -You think it's odd.
That's funny.
[ Laughter ]
-You know, I'm not so sure. Is it -- Is it odd?
-I mean, do you want me to tell you?
-Yeah, yeah. Odd or...
I'm thinking it's odd.
-It is odd. -Okay, okay.
So, there's a 3, there's a 5 --
Oh, there it was. Okay, so it was a 5.
[ Laughter ]
-What's going on?
What are you talking about?
-Was it the 5 of diamonds?
-Yes!
-Nice. -Red 5 of diamonds.
-Red 5 of diamonds.
Here's the crazy part.
While we were doing all of that...
-Yeah?
-While we were doing all of that,
your hand's been on top of that deck the entire time.
-Yes.
-Your card's now gone.
You saw that. You burned that image into your mind?
-Yeah.
-Your card's not there. Lift up your hand.
And you check this out.
In the deck, there's a 5 of hearts,
all through...no...
-You're kidding me.
Don't even. -...5 of diamonds.
All right, don't even.
-Hypothetically...
-Oh, don't even. I mean...
-Where would the most impossible place for that card
to end up being?
-This is insane.
[ Laughter ]
This is why -- This is why I love you.
This is insanely --
There's no way that I-I am holding that card.
-Jimmy, turn over your hand.
-This is unbelievable, man. This is...
-Open it up.
-Oh.
-That would've been cool, right? I mean...
-Yeah, that would've been...
[ Laughter ]
Well, you got me on that one. Yeah.
-But, wait.
Open it up.
[ Drum roll ]
[ Audience "Oohs" ]
-Oh, my God!
Dude, what?!
No way!
That is awesome, dude!
That is how you do it, right there!
Dan White!
[ Cheers and applause ]
