Like, he would always put on "America's Got Talent."
And he would show our class.
- We watched "AGT" every single night.
I remember when I saw Shin Lim's first performance.

You must be, like, feeling it, bro.
- Yeah.
I grew up a very introverted kid,
so I've only done it online.

a webcam, and the computer.

out of my parents' attic and on the big stage.
- Take your seats, please.

It's just like, you prepped for this moment for so long.
And then you only got one try.
When you're out there, it's just like,
you're standing there.
There's a crowd, massive crowd, four judges,
and you just got to do it.
- Welcome. Who are you?
- My name is Kameron Marshall.
And, yeah, I'm a close-up magician, so--
- Do you think you have what it takes to win?
You know, we've had a lot of magicians win this thing.
- You guys have had some great magicians win this thing.
And, yeah, I think I have what it takes.
I look forward to it.
I look forward to the competition, and yeah.
- Good luck, buddy. - All right.
So I'm good to get started? - Yeah. Go for it.
- Close-up magician. You should be close up.
- Hey. What's up, guys?
Sofía, would you mind? Reach and grab any card.
That's an eight of clubs, right?
- Yeah. - Lucky guess.
Lucky guess.
Listen, that's not the magic I wanted to show you.
The magic I wanted to show you is how we could
take a card like the eight.
We put it into the middle.
For example, Simon, could you just push it into the deck?
And look.
No moves. It jumped.
- What?
- Right to the top, right?
The way it works is you just have a bunch of eights.
So like, we have an eight of clubs here.
But I also have another eight of clubs here.
Right? It makes it a lot easier
if you have a whole bunch, eight of clubs, eight of clubs.
That's obviously how I knew that Sofía would pick
the eight, because there's a eight here,
there's another eight here.
It's just a whole bunch of eights.
It's easy.
But maybe I'll put some cards down right here.
And, Sofía, you say stop when you want.
- Stop. - Right here.
Sofía, you stopped me at one, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine.
If nine cards are here, what used to be
all the eights are now all the nines.
Look. Nine, nine, nine, and nine.
[cheers and applause]
Maybe I take some away.
Sofía, as I go through, you say stop.
- Stop. - Two.
If two cards are here, what used to be the nines
are now all the twos.
See? - Shut up!
- Two, two, two, two.
- Shut up.
- I want all the judges to commit to one card.
Simon, could you reach and grab any card?
Sofía, reach and grab any card.
Mel, you look very confused and stressed.
Beautiful.
And then Howie, for the last one,
we'll do a different-- you say stop wherever you want.
- Stop. - Right here?
OK, take it. Don't let me see.
For the first time, what were the cards that you guys picked?
Simon? - Three of clubs.
- Three of clubs? Yeah, hold them up.
Turn them.
- I got an ace of hearts.
- Ace of hearts. And then?
- Queen of spades.
- I got the seven of diamonds.
- That's actually insane. In that order too?
- Yes. - Yeah.
- Well, I committed to doing magic
for basically my whole life.
I've been doing it for 13 years.
I got my very first tattoo.
And it was of my four favorite cards.
Imagine if it was an exact match,
the three of clubs, the ace of hearts,
the queen of spades, and the seven of diamonds.

[cheers and applause]
So being in a chair gets me in interesting situations.
Like, I was at a liquor store.
And the lady that was helping me out,
she started asking me about my injury.
She was like, what happened to you?
And I said, oh.
I got shot at a Halloween party.
[audience gasps]
And she said, oh, that's spooky.
I was like, it was pretty scary.
I did. I got shot at a Halloween party.
And there's nothing funny about that,
except for the fact that I was dressed as Spider-Man.
Yeah, my Spidey sense did not go off.
I got shot looking like Pedro Parker.
Like, it doesn't make sense.
I showed up as Spider-Man,
and I left as Latin Professor X.
Look at this. They got me.
Someone said I look like Professor Dos Equis.
[laughter]
I have fun with my injury, though, you know?
Like, you know what I like to do for fun?
I like to apply to jobs that I can't do
and then just show up to the interview like, what?
You guys got me? We good?
We straight?
I applied to be a roofer.
I was like, yo, get me up there.
I'll hammer it in.
I'll get the job done.
You know, I'm Mexican. Pass the nails.
- Oh, my God.
- [laughs]
- What else?
I applied to be a rock climbing instructor.
Yeah, 'cause all I gotta say is,
like, these are the consequences
if you mess this up.
[laughter]
I've been in a chair for 18 years.
And to this day, one of the biggest questions
that I ask myself is, like,
why are my shoes so dirty?
Like, why--
what if I'm out here sleepwalking?
That's scary.
I feel like one of these days, I'm gonna be sleepwalking.
And they're going to turn on the light.
And I'ma just fall like a "Toy Story" character,
you know? Just like, Andy's coming.
How mad would you guys be if I just got up
and walked out of here right now?
Just skedaddled out of here.
You guys have been amazing.
That's my time.
- Bravo!
