  Speaker 3: magic shop in my hometown. So that's kind of like

• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Are you living in the dorms? Are you living in
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: an apartment? By here?
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I'm in an apartment just off campus. I did the
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: dorms the first year, though, which was fun.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Do you eat around the campus? Yeah?
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Sometimes when I'm on Like all my classes are front
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: loaded on Monday Wednesday this semester, so it's like you
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: kind of have to eat on campus otherwise you starve.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: What's your favorite restaurant on there?
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, such a good question. I really like Rusty Taco.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I think it's underrated. A lot of people go there
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to drink, but I like the food. You know, it's
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: a good place. It's called a Curry Corner. Have been
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: to Curry Corner? I haven't been a nominal Indian food. Yeah,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: it's on campus. It's right you gotta walk, it's right there, Okay,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: walk right there? Yeah, try corner?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: So now, yeah, would you mind doing something Becausekyle it
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: didn't experience.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, We're gonna try something very special with you. Okay,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: you see, We're gonna test do you feel like you
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: have a pretty good imagination. Yeah, I would say, so,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: that's confident. I like, okay, we're gonna test your imagination here, Kyle.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I want you to imagine right here that there are
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: four cards. Okay, No, that's easy because there are four
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: cards at imagine. I want you to imagine that those
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: four cards are the four queens.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Now, if I reached in invisibly and took out two of
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the queens, and I held them in my hand, I
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: want you to think in your imagination which two I
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: took out. I'll give you a hint. They're the same color,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: so they're either the red Queens or the black Queens.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Which two did I take out?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Red?
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: The red queens? That's correct? Think about that in your imagination.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: The red Queen's right. How could it be wrong? It's
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: my imagine exactly. That's the exactly she creates. If I
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: have the red queens here and I mix them up,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: and I turned one the other way and I put
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: it back into the packet, facing face up, which queen
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: did I just put back in? Was it the hearts
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: or the diamonds?
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: You put the hearts in the hearts?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Think about this in your imagination. The Queen of Hearts.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: You see, before I did anything, I turned one card
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: face up and I can see it's the Queen of Hearts. Now.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I wanted to make this better though, because because John
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Jay has a background in magic, as he once said, yes,
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: and I didn't want you to think it was some
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: slight of hand trick. So instead, because you name the queen,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: I was so confident I grabbed it from a different
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: deck of cards just to prove and actually better yet,
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: because the Queen of Hearts was created in your imagination,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: none of the other queens matter, So I didn't bring
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: any of the other queens, proving you just have a
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: perfect imagination.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: That right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Crazy. By the way, this is are we live on anything?
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: Are we?
• 5:28

  Speaker 4: Did that come from the magic shop in Wisconsin.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Or not in Wisconsin? That was I learned it from
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Lance Burton.

  Speaker 3: Oh he's got the greasy camera. You can't have that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: You can't have that.

  Speaker 4: I mean, that's good for magic, exactly right.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I got to tell you, dude, you are
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: so incredibly talented. You if you win America's got talent,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: what do you get?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: You get a million dollars and good notoriety? Okay at issue, Yeah,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I would think so, I mean I would surely take it.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Can you turn that into a magic show in Vegas
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: or something like that, a residency?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: That's the I mean, I think I think a lot
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: of the people who produce the shows, like I think
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Base Entertainment's the main producer. They look at a lot
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: of the a GTX for.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: The shows Wakes, they turned that into a whole thing
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: exactly right.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: So that's that's kind of the hope you don't have
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: to win. Yeah, you don't have to. There's a lot
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: of them on the strip that didn't win.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Right, But I mean, like, in my opinion, you've already won.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Like I thinks you've got a name now, I mean
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I think you're I think. Yeah.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: My my plan was to just get the audition, like
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I didn't really care about anything else, And the audition
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: turned out so good, so everything else is kind of
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: just the cherry on top.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Can you cut Kyle in half? Yeah?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Should we try?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Have you mastered that? Have you done that?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Well, like we said last time, I do a
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: version of it with my fiance, which is hilarious. It's
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: his whole dynamic because she once told me when we
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: started dating, she was like, you know, I will never ever,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: don't ever ask me to get in a box on
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: stage and and and try to do a trick with you.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: And then I always say so, I'd like to bring
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: up my fiance and then we do. We do a
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: bunch of illusions together on stage. It's fantastic.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: So here we are. We got you ready, Yeah, We're ready? Okay,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: fantastic insta magic for Kyle.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, are you familiar with this game that they played
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: called three Card Monty on the street. I you ever
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: heard of this? Not familiar?
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: So three card Manti is a game that they use
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: to try to scam you out of your money. Okay,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: do you have any money? I don't think I would
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: do it to you anyway, Kyle, It's okay, but I'll
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: show you what it looks like so you can see.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: So it uses three cards. Okay, it uses a red
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: card like this queen here. Now this card is the
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: money card. So all you have to do, Kyle is
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: follow the queen. Does that make sense? Right?
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Kyle?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Where's the queen? You tell me right there? Are you confident? Well? Y, okay?
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Perfect only card? Yeah, well most of the time. Because
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I'm a magician. You never know. You never know, right.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: But here's how they get you. They had two cards
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: of distracted something like this, a nine and another nine.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: So there's two nines. But that's how it gets the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: name three card Monty is you could see now, I
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: want you to notice the two nines. They're identical. Let's
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: just try to mess with you. You don't want to.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna drop that one there real quick. Anyway,
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna show you exactly how to do this. You
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: put your hand out like this for me. Fantastic. Watch
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: when I give you the queen. You're already following the
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: wrong card. Did you see this?
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: Wow?
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: So what's in my hand? Turn it over? You could
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: take a look. It's the nine, isn't that why? That's
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: how fast it happens. We'll try it again. Okay, Ready,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: nine in your hand this time, queen and nine in
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: my hand. I want you to watch the secret move.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: It looks like this. Watch ready one, two? See ye,
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: turn it over? Turn it over.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Trick. I'll make it easier for you to follow. Okay,
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: they would never do this, but I'm gonna make it easier.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Watch the queen right now. You can't play a two
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: card Monty, that's not the game. But we're left to
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: two cards.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: If I asked you, Kyle, where the queen was, that's
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: what they say. See that's the hard pot. Den Denie
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: is here.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Run out of the room.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: See here's the crazy Because a lot of the time
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: people think that I'm just cheating, which is basically how
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: it works. You see, a lot of the time I
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: don't even use any queens. I can't queen in the
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: pocket right here, Like you said, right now, you know
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: what to follow. I give you one more chance to
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: win all the money you ready. Queen goes in the hand,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: nine goes in the pocket. This whole time, I've been
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: mixing the cards around, Kyle, you tell me what card
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: are you holding? Shouldn't be the queen? There you go?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: You got it?
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Look at that, right, because because if you want to
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: win in three card monte, Kyle, it's only because I
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: want you to win, right And if I want you
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to lose, it's only because I want you to That's
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: how the card game works, and that's why you never
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: play cards.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: Actually, that's a trick.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: He's magic.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: He's really magic. It's wild.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: That's what Simon says on a g T. He doesn't
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: believe that it's a trick. He believes magic exists, which
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: I think is great.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: That is great you think that. Yeah, you're definitely magic.
