- I've got those
- All you need are
and a flashlight.
Yup that goes on top like
across the napkin
- Napkin.

Flashlight lets you
- Right, okay.

Let's hear it for Dan Sperry.
(applause)
- Yay!
Magic show.
You know magic is the second
do the math.
The oldest trick in
and thousands years old it's
You've maybe seen it
Super confusing, right?
Three cups, three balls
You get messed around.
You got to keep your
eyes on the cups, eyes on
It goes really fast.
So I've dummied it down
that I'm going to share
My version of the
and hopefully it lives
set forth by Harry Houdini.
And I hope you guys enjoyed
My version of the cups and balls
that I like to call
It use a little wooden ball
It's a ball and
And for the cup
I'm not going to use some
It's actually just
Like they used to serve
back in the day.
Now the object is for you to
right? It goes kind of fast,
This is the easy version,
the ball can be here.
It can be here.
It can be here, here,
maybe in my pocket,
You have to guess whether
in my pockets or
You see how this works, right?
Okay, So we'll go
(laughter)
Now I'm going to start right
All right. We're going
I'm going to take the ball.
Maybe put it in my hand.
Maybe put in my pocket or
Where do you think
- In the hand?
No, it's on my hand.
- Pocket?
- Not in my pocket. It's
Like I said, you have
It goes quick.
I know it goes kind of quick.
You have to pay attention.
Remember this is the ball.
This is the ball,
This is what you're watching.
We'll try it again
and I'll slow it down
Here's the ball,
where where do you
- On top of the cup.
- No, it's on the
because the cup's
You're not great at this.
We'll try this with you and
So it goes a little bit easier.
I'm going to take the ball.
I'm going to place
maybe in my pocket
or maybe it's back
tell you what I'm going
to make it easier.
So you have to guess now
whether the ball is
or underneath the cup,
Nevermind. Nevermind.
Where do you think the ball is?
- Pocket?
No. See, it still goes
You got to pay attention.
Are you seen it go this time?
Maybe this'll be easier,
if I take the ball,
You can see it in there.
If I shake it up and
Listen.
See, it sounds like
I'm going to slow it down.
If I take the ball,
place it into my pocket.
Where do you think
Either in my pocket
you probably figured out it
If you say it's in my pocket
it goes back underneath the cup.
If you say it's under the
My pocket at the same time
Wrong, see it still goes
I don't know how it
Super confusing.
Here's the thing you
what's the saying?
Probably feel like you're
That's it, behind the eight
That's the eight ball
that's the real eight ball.
(tapping cup) Not
and just because I feel like it
here's an actual big white rock
that I wanted to just show you
And that's my version
I don't know how this
The rock doesn't fit.
The eight ball doesn't fit.
And hopefully this has
set forth by the late,
I almost feel like his presence
because it is, or at least
