Tonight's in-flight entertainment
will be four amazing magicians from around the world.
So keep those seatbelts fastened

I'll be your host for this flight,
and in case of a Fooler, a trophy
will be lowered from above.
So make yourselves comfortable and enjoy our first magician.
- You will clearly see that the pack is in perfect order.
Fooling Penn and Teller was an out-of-body experience.
I'm standing there in front of Penn and Teller,
and they're trying to guess how I did my trick.
- There is something unusual about your suit coat pocket.
- And they're not getting it.
I couldn't help myself. I said--
You gentlemen are not even close.
[laughter]
And then, boom, Teller's handing me a trophy.
It didn't even feel real.
I've worked just as hard on tonight's effect,
tried it out in front of audiences,
tried it out on magicians.
When I come on this show, there's no disgrace
being taken down by two of the greats.
But taking them down, that's a much better place to be.
[cheers and applause]
- Trying to win his second "Fool Us" trophy,
welcome back Benjamin Barnes.
- Thank you.
Whoo!
[cheers and applause]
Thank you. Thank you.
Hello, Penn. - Hello.
- Hello, Teller.
You might remember the last time I was here,
when I performed the world's fairest card trick,
and I fooled you.
- Yes.
- Since then, I've been having a great time,
more television appearances and a lot more gigs.
But what I'm the most excited about
is that I just became a published author.
[cheers and applause]
Self-published.
[laughter]
Not available in a bookstore near you.
It's actually a children's book,
and it's called
"The Even More Fair Fairest Card Trick in the World."
And to help me tell the story,
I will need the help of the fairest of them all,
Princess Brooke.
Will you help me, Princess?
- I would love to, Benjamin.
- Please welcome Princess Brooke Burke.
- Thank you, thank you. - Good to see you.
- You too.
- Hold on to that.
Turn to the first page.
- OK.
Oh, my God, this is so cool.
- It's a cool book.
"Once upon a time, there was a fabulous princess
"named Brooke, who lived in a house of cards.
"She was very good with the cards.
"She knew how to deal and how to count.
"She even knew all of the card's suits and values.
"One day, a mysterious wizard named Benjamin asked
"Princess Brooke to hold the cards in one hand,
as if she were going to deal them."
- OK.
- "The wizard explained, if I am to perform the Even More
"Fair Fairest Card Trick in the World,
"it's important that you hold on to the cards and not me,
"because I am a card wizard
"and could be doing some hocus pocus,
which wouldn't be fair."
- That wouldn't be good.
- "Next, the wizard asked Princess Brooke
"to name any number between 1 and 52,
and she did."
- 9. - 9.
"Then the mysterious wizard instructed the princess
"to count out loud while dealing the cards
one at a time face down."
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
- OK, stop.
You could have named any number between 1 and 52.
You named the number--
- 9. - 9.
Eight cards have been dealt onto the table.
- OK. - Push those off to the side.
- These? - Yep, you got it.
- OK.
- Deal the ninth card face down to the right
and just put the rest of the cards to the right of that.
"We don't know what your card is,
"but maybe you can tell us what the card before yours
"and the card after yours is, said the wizard.
And the princess turned the two cards over and named them."
- Ready? - Ready.
- 9 of clubs.
- Perfect.
[soft music]
- 6 of spades. - You got it.
"And the wizard exclaimed, very good,
"Princess, you do know your cards.
"The wizard was a great believer
in positive reinforcement."
[laughter]
"And now I must confess that I knew
"what card you would choose long before today,
"said the wizard.
And the princess puzzled to herself out loud."
- "Wouldn't it be amazing if he knew what
"my randomly selected card was?
But that would be impossible."
- "As she puzzled some more."
- "He didn't even touch the cards
"after he handed them to me.
"If he knows what card I picked,
then he must be the greatest wizard of them all."
- "Finally, the magic moment had arrived,
"and the wizard said, I summoned my magical powers,
"and I looked into the future.
And I saw that your card would be on the next page."
[laughter]
Brooke, please take the card and show
and tell us all what it is.
- You ready? - Ready.
- OK, 3 of hearts.
- The 3 of hearts.
On the table is the card that you
chose of your own free will.
- Yes.
- Wouldn't it be amazing if it were a perfect match?
- It would be amazing.
- Let's take a look.
- OK.
- And that is the story of the Even More Fair Fairest Card
Trick of them all.
[cheers and applause]
- Benjamin Barnes.
Wow, wow, wow.
So I continue to be baffled.
Like, it's amazing to be able to participate in that.
I love magic. I don't know how you did that.
- Well, you need a princess.
- I'm so honored to be your princess, Benjamin.
How does it feel to be back here again?
- It feels great to be back.
This is my third time here, my first time
with a live audience, which is the best.
- Look at this audience.
- Fantastic.
- It's amazing energy.
- Yeah, yeah.
- What would that mean to you, to fool Penn and Teller again?
- You know, these guys are amazing.
They're brilliant.
And I never assume that I could--
when I did fool them the first time, I didn't believe it.
You know, I was in shock.
So if it happens, great.
If not, I got to meet you. - Thank you.
- And I got to perform for these people, so I'm a winner.
- All right, Penn and Teller, did Benjamin fool you again?
- Well, we'll see. We'll see.
Boy, you're just so good, so good.
And that whole premise of the fairest card trick
is great and having Brooke handle everything.
You know, you did the cards, so there's not gonna
be any sleight of hand there.
I mean, no offense, Brooke, but no sleight of hand there.
And the whole fairy-tale story and having her hold the book
and the card in the back, which looked legit,
and we think was.
It was just a great routine, and we love having you on.
But let's get down to the--
the long and short of it, shall we, Ben?
- Yeah.
- You've been on the show three times.
The first time, we busted you.
We figured it out. You didn't fool us.
Second time, you fooled us, a righteous fool.
Seems like we're just alternating.
You get one. We get one.
We do not think you fooled us.
Next time, see what you can do.
- I look forward to the next time.
[laughter]
- Aww.
[cheers and applause]
- Benjamin, you fooled me.
And I totally enjoyed that.
So thank you so much. - You bet.
Take care, guys. Thanks for having me.
- Thanks a lot, Ben. - You bet.
- Take care. Benjamin Barnes, everyone.
More fantastic magic still to come.
Stay close.

That was my favorite memory when I was kid.
So that's what I perform here tonight.
Thank you so much.
[applause]
- I know you wowed Penn and Teller,
but let's see if you fooled them.
- Oh, Hara, it was just--
it was just great, and one of the things
so many people who get into magic want to do
is just bring fantasy to life.
And you've taken an animated film
and made it real in front of people.
And we like to have all different kinds of magic
on this show, and this big-scale thing is one
of the hardest things to do.
And you just do it beautifully.
And the combination of the film to life, but with the
projected onto a scrim, which makes
the video be blinders, which is a brilliant way
to do that stuff.
And the combination of the-- the tech and the timing
all working with beautiful manipulation stuff was just--
was just great.
And I want to point out because we get asked about this all
the time, why Brooke is always wearing
the same outfit every week and we're wearing
the same outfits every week.
We have to choose what we're gonna wear and stick
with that the whole time.
And the interesting thing is this year,
our second choice was to be wearing
exactly what you're wearing.
[laughter]
We both were gonna be wearing that.
But it's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful act.
It's a new way to do manipulation.
But we know a lot of that manipulation.
So as much as we loved it, you did not fool us.
- I imagine there's a hidden message there.
Did that make sense to you, Hara?
- Uh-huh.
- Do you think they figured it out?
- I think so.
But it was so honor to perform in front of my heroes.
I thank you so much.
[cheers and applause]
- Hara, they know how you did your trick,
but that doesn't mean you didn't impress them.
We really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much.

- Welcome back to "Fool Us."
Our next magician has already fooled Penn and Teller
a record-tying five times, and she's here
to try for number six.
Let's see what's new with Helen Coghlan.
- I'm no stranger to "Fool Us."
You can count the number of times I fool Penn and Teller
on one hand, but just barely.
Five times in a row, now that's a world record.
And if I do it again, another record.
Listen, there are easier ways to break records.
And I've looked into it.
All I have to do is bounce on a Pogo stick
for 25 hours and 10 minutes.
Where do the batteries go?
Drink 22 bottles of hot sauce in one hour.
Break just 64 cinder blocks in one minute.
With my forehead?
Pin 1,662 clothespins to my face.
Oh, for [bleep] sake.
Oh, to heck with it.
If I'm gonna break a record, I might as well
just go back on the show.
Sorry, boys, too bad for you.
I don't like hot sauce much.
[applause]
- Put your hands together for "Fool Us"
Hall of Famer Helen Coghlan.
- Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Hello, Penn and Teller.
It's so nice to see you both again.
Now last time I was on the show,
I broke a record by becoming the first person
to fool you five times.
Tonight--
[applause]
Tonight, I'm going to see if I can break
that record with a record.
An ingenious idea, right?
So I've brought along some of my favorites
from home, as well as this record cabinet
that I will open for you.
Now I'd like somebody to select one of my records.
And, Brooke, would you, like, mind doing the honors, please?
- I'd love to.
- So what I'll get you to do,
I'll ask you just to flip through the records,
and whenever you want to stop, please say stop.
- OK.
- So just flip through them like that.
- All right.
- Some good Aussie albums here.
- Oh, you've got some good ones.
- There's some good albums.
- Oh, yes, stop. - That one?
- Yes. - OK.
- Please.
- Now I'll put these out of the way.
- OK. - I no longer need those.
And, Brooke, don't go too far away,
please, because I will need your help in just a moment.
No, no, just a couple of steps there.
That's fine. Just stand there.
Now we'll take the record out that you have chosen,
and I'll put it in the record cabinet, close the doors.
Now the next part of the trick involves
me threading a ribbon through the middle of the record.
But in order for me to do that, first of all,
I'm going to have to thread the needle.
Now if you're anything like me, threading a needle
is not that easy, even if it is this big.
Brooke, can you please hold that side of the ribbon?
I'll take the needle, put it up here.
- OK.
- And, Brooke, I think you can let the ribbon go now, please.
- OK.
- The ribbon is threaded on to the needle.
That was just too easy.
Thank you very much.
Now some of you might be wondering,
how am I gonna fool Penn and Teller with these odd props?
Well, I'd like to remind you that last time I
was on the show, I fooled them with a wooden stick
and a glass of milk.
So--
[laughter]
I'll turn this on its side.
And you can see the ribbon and the needle
going all the way through the other side.
OK.
That's about halfway.
Hook these on there.
Now I would like you to watch the next move very closely.
Because what you're about to see
next is going to defy logic, even more so than someone
doing a trick with a vinyl record in 2023.
Brooke, can you please hold the ends of the ribbon?
- Sure. - One in each hand.
- OK. - Down the end.
- OK.
- And whatever you do, don't let go, please.
- OK.
- Come a bit closer so they can-- there's a bit
of slack in there. - OK.
- Thank you very much.
Now, normally, you would put a needle on a record.
Tonight, we're going to try it a bit differently,
and we're going to see if we can put a record on a needle.
A bit more slack, please, Brooke.
I'll put that through there.
You can see the needle through this, all the way through.
Brooke, can you slowly start pulling that ribbon?
- Yes. - Pull it all the way down.
Keep pulling it. - OK.
- Keep pulling.
Keep going.
All the way.
- All the way?
- I think we did it. Let go of the ribbon.
Please hold the back of the needle.
- OK. - The back of the needle.
I will open the front door.
Open the back door.
We did it.
The record is on the needle.
[applause]
Brooke, I'm guessing Penn and Teller would
like to have a look at that.
So can you please take it to them and show them?
- OK.
Here it comes, boys.
So you can get up close and check it out.
I love her confidence.
Yep.
Ladies and gentlemen, Helen Coghlan.
[applause]
- Thank you.
- Every time you come here, you fool Penn and Teller.
Wouldn't it be a little more exciting
maybe not to fool them?
- No, definitely not.
[laughter]
- You probably know more about this show than I do.
Maybe you should be interviewing me.
You're, like, the seasoned pro.
Should we switch spots? Let's do it.
Come on.
OK, go for it.
This is supposed to be about you, but ask me one question,
then we'll get back to you because it's not about me.
- What would it mean to you if I won a trophy?
[laughter]
- Great question.
If you won, and you broke the "Fool Us" record,
and you got six "Fool Us" trophies,
it would mean everything to me.
Because, woman to woman, we can crush this.
- Good answer.
- All right, back to you.
How did you go about making the decision
to perform this act for them?
- Dad's the one who comes up with all the tricks.
- Oh, really? - Yeah, so he's 91 now.
- Amazing.
- It gives him something to do throughout the year,
thinking of another way to fool Penn and Teller.
- I'm rooting for ya.
And the boys look really confused over there,
which is a very good sign.
- That's good.
- Helen, let's see if you broke the "Fool Us" record
and earned yourself a sixth trophy.
Are you ready? - I'm ready.
- And I'm rooting for you. - Oh, good.
- Penn and Teller?
[applause]
- Five times, Helen.
You fooled us five times.
We've been over to your house--
- You have.
- In Australia.
Went into your little workshop, where
you come up with these things with your father.
I'll just tell you very frankly, Helen,
I'm sick of talking to you.
[laughter]
I'm just sick of it. You had good snacks.
- Someone's got his cranky pants on, hasn't he?
- We had a good lunch.
We had good snacks.
I liked it, but I'm sick of ya.
Teller will take it from here.
- Let me see if I can pick up Teller's thoughts.
Teller? - Oh, wow.
Really?
[cheers and applause]
- Yes, we have a record-breaking
Helen Coghlan, everyone.
Congratulations.
Standing ovation.
Stay with us. Stay with us.
It's a moment for the magic history books.

- Welcome back.
We already have one Fooler in the house.
Do I hear two?
Let's find out, as we meet our next magician.
- Hola, I am Daniel K., and I am a magician from Uruguay.
I love Uruguay, but I also love
performing in other countries.
It doesn't matter if I know the language or not.
I have a master's degree in communication,
after all, Spanish, broken English, Italian, Portuguese.
Really, I don't know the last two, but I make it work.
My language skill are the most good.
I love interacting with an audience
because it brings out another side of me.
In real life, I am very shy.
But my greatest trick is getting people to believe
I am really this outgoing.
The last time I was on "Fool Us," I did not
fool Penn and Teller, but I got something much better
than a trophy.
- The very first thing I said to Teller when I turned to him
was, that's a perfect routine.
- Thank you so much.
- It's an absolutely perfect routine.
- I would love to fool Penn and Teller, but if not,
another perfect trick would be nice, too.
[applause]
- All the way from Uruguay, give it
up for the hilarious Daniel K.
- Hello, good evening.
My name is Daniel K., and right now, I'm talking
to you from inside this box.
- [laughs] - Hi, Penn and Teller.
I want to thank the producer for flying me here.
They promised me a free flight, and they do it.
It's a cargo flight, but the box has air holes
and a bag of pretzel inside.
So it's pretty much the same than flying
coach on a budget airlines.
Now because I'm stuck in here,
I need the help from all of you.
Please, Penn,
can you come up to the stage to help me?
- I sure can.
- Let me know when you are here by knocking on the box.
[applause]
- I'm right here, Daniel.
- Thanks, Penn.
Thanks.
Please, check the padlock that opens the box is locked.
Check. - Yes, it is.
- Can you see the keys on top of the box?
- The keys are on top of the box.
Yeah, there's a bunch of them.
- I want you to try all the keys.
One by one, place the one that don't open
the lock inside the glass.
Thank you. - I haven't found the lock yet.
Oh, here it is. It's right where it should be.
- Yes.
- That does not open the lock.
Should I check other ones?
- Yes, put it inside the glass, please.
- Oh, the one that does not open the lock,
I'm putting inside the glass?
- Try every one one by one, please.
- Oh, one-- I try every one of them?
- Thank you so much, yes. - Oh, this is television magic.
- I will be with you in a moment.
- OK, that doesn't fit.
- Brooke, can you help me?
- Sure. - Come with me, please.
Come with me. Please, choose one.
[applause] Big clap again.
Please, choose one of these four balloons,
yellow, orange, red, or blue.
- Orange. - Orange.
This is a present for you that I want to give you.
No, better in this way.
Look at this.
- Penn, are you seeing this?
- I am seeing it, but I have a job
to do, Brooke, leave me alone.
- Me too. - Thank you, Penn.
Please, Brooke, take the balloon and the bell
that is top on the box.
- And put it on top of the box?
- No, no, take the balloon and the bell
that is top on the box.
- Bell.
- Yes, thanks for your English, Penn.
- I'll help with your job, too. - Thank you.
- OK.
- Please give the bell to Teller and the balloon
to someone in the audience.
- OK.
- Teller, I'm bringing you the bell.
- Hey, Daniel, I'm checking these keys here.
- Thank you so much. - Hello, friend.
- Have you any luck with the keys?
- I have not found one that opens it yet, Daniel.
- OK, Teller, if you have the bell, ring it.
- Hi, can I give you that? - I understand.
I feel you, bro. - Got it?
- Teller, you are going to help me to find the person who
will open the box.
- OK. - OK.
- I've tried all of them. - OK.
- They don't fit. - Thank you, Penn.
Brooke, did you give the balloon
to someone in the audience?
- I did.
- OK, audience, I need you to start,
please, passing the balloon from one person to the other.
Let the party begin.
- Whoo!
- OK. - Penn, have any key worked?
- None of the keys have worked, not one of them.
I tried them all.
- I just wanted to prove that none of those keys
would open the lock because I have the only key that work.
Please, Penn, take the key.
- Oh.
OK.
- Thank you so much.
- OK, should I try it?
- Threw it into the wine glass and mix them up.
- Do I try it on the lock first?
- No, no, no, no.
- No, no, no.
- No, no, no, no, no, we don't want to try it.
- OK.
- Mix them up and place the wine glass on top of the box.
- Mix them up? - Yes.
- I'm doing that.
- Is there any way that you will know
which the key open the lock?
- I don't know which key will open the lock.
- That's the idea. Thank you so much, Penn.
Before you go, can I give you a high five with a finger?
- Which-- where do you want me to stick it?
OK.
- Thank you so much.
- That's not my finger. OK.
- Big applause for him. Thank you.
So you can go back to your seat.
[applause]
OK, the balloon has been passing around the theater
this whole time.
In a second, I'm going to ask you to ring the bell
one more time, Teller.
When that happen, the person who with the balloon
will be the chosen one.
Please, Teller, close your eyes.
Whenever you want, ring the bell.
Perfect.
Balloon person, are you there?
Please, come on the stage and bring the balloon with you
and give it to Brooke.
[applause]
- Come on up.
- Oh, hello.
Wait, wait, wait a moment.
Wait a moment. What's your name?
- Nicole. - Nicole.
Hello, Nicole.
I want you to take any key and hide it in your hand.
- Take a key.
- Hide it in your hand, he's asking.
- You realize you're translating
English to English?
- I know.
- Just so you know.
- I have multiple talents, Penn.
- Penn, if you think that Nicole
has the key that open the lock, I want you to say so.
If not, I want you to ask to pick another one.
- Should I change or stay?
Stay with that one, Nicole.
I trust your first instinct.
- The first?
Are you sure?
- I'm positive.
- OK.
In a moment, you have to try the key.
Don't insert the key yet.
Before trying the chosen key, I want
you to check that the padlock is still closed.
Try--the padlock is still closed, yes?
- It is.
- Now, insert the key, but don't try to open yet.
I only have one chance.
If the lock opens, it's a miracle.
If not, ship me back to Uruguay in shame.
[laughter]
Now try to open the lock and open.
Don't be nervous.
- Yeah.
I did it for you. You're free.
- Yes!
Please take out the lock, open the cage, open the door.
Let me out, please.
Yes.
Thank you, Nicole. Thank you, everyone.
Oh, it's Brooke.
Oh. Thank you.
Thank you for coming.
Thank you.
You can go back to your seat.
Brooke, Penn and Teller, everyone.
[applause]
Thanks for translate for my English.
- My pleasure, my pleasure.
- You choose this one. Can you hear something?
- Yes.
- I have something for you.
- OK.
- Let me try a little pin.
You choose the orange balloon.
- I did.
- And I wrote something here.
"Brooke will choose orange balloon."
Thank you so much.
- No way.
That was inside the balloon?
- But Penn think that was the first one
that open the lock and Penn will choose number one.
[applause]
And Teller just randomly one person named Nicole.
- Yes.
- Teller will choose--
- What?
- Thank you so much.
Thanks, Brooke. This is for you.
Thanks.
- Ladies and gentlemen, Daniel K., wow.
Wow.
I was getting worried about you in there.
- Me too.
- How long did it take to ship yourself here?
- To ship?
Like, two weeks to come here by boat.
- What happens if a trick like this goes wrong?
Do you-- are you stuck in there?
- Yes, I'm stuck here.
But the most important for me is that the people enjoy.
If the people enjoy, I'm enjoying.
- Did everybody enjoy that? - Say yes.
Say yes.
[applause]
- OK, Daniel, let's see if Penn and Teller can unpack
the secrets to your trick.
- Daniel, I mean, it's just perfect.
This is-- I'm gonna give a little history first.
- Of course. - We know you're great.
The audience loved ya.
We loved you. You're just fabulous.
You're so funny.
Now we're gonna go to school a little bit.
This trick, the idea of a bunch of keys and only one of them
fits the lock, it's always been one
of the worst tricks in magic.
And no one of the thousands of magicians who have done it
have ever done it any way except suck.
Now the innovations you made to the way
the trick is done, the method, brilliant, beautiful,
brand-new.
But that's not the important part.
The important part is you took a plot that is not
good and made it not only the best it's ever been,
because that would be damning with faint praise,
but the best it's ever gonna be.
And so good-- so good that Teller said, is there
a way we could steal this?
It's really, really, really good.
Now, Brooke, since you've been so good at translating English
to English, would you translate
to mi amigo Daniel
that we love him.
It's the best version of this trick that will ever be.
He's a genius.
He's funny.
And with all the sadness in our hearts,
we do not think he fooled us.
Translate all that perfectly, would you, Brooke?
- I won't do it. Daniel--
- I don't understand. He say yes?
- He didn't say yes.
[applause]
- OK, OK.
- You didn't fool them, Daniel, but we
did get you out of the box, and we
sure enjoyed that, everyone.
- Thanks, Penn. Thanks, Teller.
- Daniel K. - It's a pleasure.
- So great. - Take care, bye-bye.
- Wonderful. Thank you.
[cheers and applause]
- We've got more Penn, more Teller, and more great
magic when "Fool Us" returns.

- Welcome back.
We know the best way to finish our show is to turn the stage
over to the stars of our show.
Put your hands together for Penn and Teller.

- When you get known as a magician,
either amateur or professional, and you go to parties
or get-togethers with friends and acquaintances,
they'll often expect you to do a little bit of magic.
And this is not a magic show that's prepared.
It's just something where you think on your feet.
It's called impromptu magic.
You just take the stuff around you
and see what you could do-- what you could do with it.
So we're gonna give you a little example of this.
Imagine that you're out at a party at a friend's house,
and imagine that friend is a really
big fan of Mark Wilson, the most famous American magician.
And you say, well, this is a house
where they really like magic.
Maybe we can do something.
So you look around and say, well, there's
a refrigerator over there.
Any magic I can do with a refrigerator?
No.
Television? No.
Deck of cards?
Yeah, but I've done that.
But then there's this gold thing,
and you say, hey, this is your gold thing here.
Mind if I try to do some magic with it?
And they go, sure, go ahead, you're a magician.
And you say, well, maybe I'll bring in some other people
at the party.
And say one of the people at the party happens to be
Greg Wilson, the son of the fabulous magician Mark Wilson.
Thank you, Nani Darnell.
Hey, Greg, how you doing, man?
- Hi, Teller.
- Now Greg will probably be at the party
because any party you're invited to, you go, right?
- Of course, certainly.
- So you look around, and you say, what could
we do with this gold thing?
- It's a train, Penn.
- Yeah, yeah, and you say, well, we're gonna
just try to do some magic.
You look around the party and say, who else is there?
And it happens to be Sean, and that's
Mark Wilson's granddaughter.
Thank you, Nani Darnell.
Hello, Sean, how are you doing?
Good to see ya.
And Sean's dressed for a party, and she kind of
matches this gold thing.
- Train.
- It's a train, yeah.
And you say, hey, I get it, and I'm just thinking this up.
I'm making this up as we go.
Wait a minute, why don't you get inside that gold thing?
So you open it up, and you say, hey, Sean, just--
yeah, just get inside.
Now we're just making this up with the stuff
that happened to be around.
And then she lays down in the gold thing.
- A train.
- It's a train, yeah.
Lays on the gold thing.
Then you close it up, and you go, well,
we'll just hook that shut.
Now I'm just-- this is impromptu.
This could be, like, a quarter behind the ear,
but we're just making this up as we go.
Then we close the top.
Thank you, Greg.
And, Sean, why don't you stick your hands out?
Now I don't know what we're gonna do next.
I'm just trying to make up the magic as we go.
So we say, hey, turn that around a little bit,
why don't ya?
Yeah, let them see all about that.
Now all of the guests are going, hey, he's a magician.
He just makes up stuff.
And I go, wait a minute.
Wouldn't it look-- I mean, this is crazy,
but we could do this.
What are those things over there?
- They're pizza trays.
- Pizza trays?
And I'm saying, I got a pizza tray at this house.
Why don't we stick it in the gold thing?
- The train. - Yeah.
And we just put that in right like that.
That's amazing.
I just made that up.
And then we get another pizza tray,
and I put this in like this.
And I-- oh, excuse me, Sean.
Ah, there we go.
And then we just do like this and go, how about this?
Now that's a good-looking trick.
And I just made this up.
Sure, I could have pulled a quarter out
from behind Teller's ear, or I could have done a card trick,
but this is pretty good, too.
And then I'm looking around and going, hey, how about
we bring in the refrigerator?
- No, no, no. - Can we spin it around?
- Yeah, spin it around.
Well, I'm trying to think of what else we're gonna do.
The refrigerator, the television.
Wait a minute, how about that weird-ass coffee table?
- Sure.
- Why don't we bring this over here?
Put that next to the gold thing.
- Oh, train.
- The train, yeah.
And then I'm gonna hit this switch
here for no reason and this switch here for no reason.
And then I'll move the top half of the gold thing--
- The engine. - The engine--
- Yeah. - Over just like this.
Impromptu magic.
Just made up as we go.
And I slide this part around like this.
Now all of the people at the party
are gonna be so impressed by this whole thing.
So that's how you do impromptu magic.
Just make it up as you go.
- Oh, my goodness.
What?
Oh, my goodness, you guys.
That was amazing. Hi.
How are you? - We just made that up.
- What? - We just made it up.
- You just have these things laying around the house?
Good luck performing that one at your next party.
From all of us here at "Fool Us," good night,
everyone, from Las Vegas.
