(audience cheering)
Hi, I'm Dean Cain and welcome
Now what's the first
something that you
Maybe you try to rationalize
with some sort of a
Well, what you're
will defy all explanation.
Try not to let it
- Hey, hey, hey...
- The way that Chipper Lowell
- Sorry
- Hello, how's it going?
Good, nice to have you here.
Well, I have something

Yes, yes, yes.
Watch it.
(grunts)
Right through the deck
All the way through.
Is that not amazing?
- That's, that's amazing.
Are there cards in there?
- We, we don't need
(audience laughs)
- Well...
- Okay.
(scoffs)
- It's the trick...
- Yeah, yeah, you know
- Rationalize it so people...
- No, no you you were right,
Just a solid metal block.
(high energy jazz music)
(audience clapping)
- Okay.
That's...
- Thank you. Bye.
- That's impossible.
(high energy jazz)
- This trick, like all
of charge, but I
pay admission to be in
Here is Eric Buss.
- Thank you so much.
Thank you
It's very exciting to be here.
We have some audience
You are standing behind an X.
However, you do not have
You may trade places
or as few times as you'd like.
Trade places now!
Look at 'em go!
Woo, give them some
This is exciting.
(audience claps)
And, stop.
You understood you were
Okay, hey, you know what?
That can happen.
It does not matter.
It does not matter
handing them mystery cannons.
Christopher, go ahead
Any cannon.
Zaby take a cannon, any cannon.
Jordan, take that cannon.
All right.
You are holding
However, you may trade cannons
as many or as few
Trade cannons now!
(audience cheers)
Look at 'em go.
It's like a hurricane
What's gonna happen.
Holy cow.
Jordan doesn't know.
Ooh, did you see that?
He took it back from Zaby.
Woo stop!
Whoa, that was exciting.
(audience cheers)
He was like, no.
And then he was like, yes.
(audience laughs)
All right.
Now, I'm not gonna
since you've been touching them.
I don't want to be accused
I just want to
The bottom part, right here.
That's PVC pipe.
It's gonna fit
just put this bottom part
And then put the big pad
Perfect.
Do like Jordan's doing
and then toss the pad
Make sure there's no
Now I do have to
We're not gonna have
but if you could just
Perfect.
Keep me fair.
I'm not doing anything fishy.
I'm just, uncapping the cannons.
Perfect.
Just like so.
Good.
All right.
I have some paint
the hardware store.
We have spring, summer,
What I would like you to do
leave it clipped for now.
Take a book, any book.
Perfect.
Take a book, any book,
And that leaves
Excellent.
Because as you guessed it,
you may trade booklets as many
or as few times as you'd like.
Trade paint sample booklets now!
(audience cheers)
(high energy jazz music)
This is the last round,
Oh Jordan came around
Ooh and Zaby forgot where
And stop!
(audience claps)
I'm exhausted.
Woo.
This is good stuff.
All right, let's
See which one you got?
Ooh, you got the book
Shades of beautiful
Hand that to you, you can pick
Hold it by the
Yeah, perfect.
So everyone can see.
Excellent.
You got, ooh the book

We will rip one out.
Hold on to that so
Excellent.
And you got, we'll
you got the, ooh, the red
Excellent.
We'll rip that out.
Hold that out so
And I believe that
Oh, I got the green
Let's review what happened.
We brought three people on stage
where they stood
Then they traded places.
Then they traded cannons.
Then they traded books.
Books could have
Cannons could have
but this is where we are left.
Now, I failed to
I've always been a
but only when it comes to
pneumatic weaponry and
(audience laughs)
Very weird way to be lucky.
Let's see how we did, tonight.
(exhales)
(cannon fires)
Blue matches blue!
(cannon fires)
Yellow matches yellow!
(cannon fires)
Red matches red!
And I've got...

Green, it worked, yes!
Keep it going for
Look at 'em, they're very nice.
Thank you so much

- [Dean] Up next,
the impossible is made
(audience clapping)
(explosion)
Now here's a performer who
it comes to magicians
You'll see what I mean.
Here is Magical Katrina.

Check it out.
Here's Trigg Watson.

(audience cheers)
- I have been accused
I just decided to
(audience laughs)
I'd like to show you all
It involves time travel.
Do you believe in time travel?
(audience claps)
Before we take this
I need to document
and the best way I know how
Everyone smile.
(audience laughs)
(camera shutter)
And time travel happens
(audience claps)
Now the phone did
No, it just traveled
to the moment before I had
Now do you believe

- [Dean] Next, amazing
to describe Joshua J.
When we come back.

(explosion)
- When you get right down to it,
most magic can be reduced
to simple mathematic equations.
Now that's not really true.
I just made that up.
(audience laughs)
Or did I?
See for yourself when you
(audience cheers)
(dance music)
- Hello and I'm
Maurice, you've got
I've got a deck of cards.
Take those cards
And while you're shuffling,
I wanna explain to
just how many orders there
For the mathematically inclined,
this is 52 factorial.
To know the number
shuffled deck of cards.
You have to multiply 52
all the way down to one.
The answer is the number
That means, Maurice,
that there are more
than there are grains
He's not that
(audience laughs)
But we will continue
Are you shuffled up?
Okay, give your cards
It's important that you know
I couldn't know one of these
Oh wow.
This is great.
This is modern art.
I love it.
And now go ahead and show me.
I'll show you that my
Show me that your
Yeah, show them that
and now hold them
I'm going to show you
how this trick works.
I'm not going to tell
I'm going to show
In a moment, Maurice,
we're going to cut
and each cut to a card.
And I hope it's the same card.
Now, the chances of that
that it would be
One in four that we
and it would be the same.
16 over 169 that it's
like four tens or four queens.
The chances of you cutting
are one in 52, me one in 52.
We multiply them together
to get the chance
2,704 or 0.0003%.
That's the chances
Now I want you to
all of these numbers,
every one of these numbers,
combined together,
give us that impossibility
So you start with 52 factorial
that number eight with
same on this side.
But what we're going
is put it to the test.
And we do that like this,
Maurice, you can go first.
I want you to cut
whatever you want and
anywhere you want.
And then place the rest of them.
Just hold them above
And now I will do the same.
And now to see.
This 0.0003% chance
I got the eight of hearts.
What card did you get?
(laughs)
(audience cheer)
- 8 of hearts
- But that's not impossible.
That's just really, really rare.
The part that's impossible is
the whole time, this is
(audience cheers)
Your eight of hearts
I want to thank you for helping.
Thank you for watching.
My name is Joshua J.
(audience claps)
(explosion)
- [Dean] Next up, Joel Myers.
He always delivers
(explosion)
When we return.
(audience claps)
(explosion)
Up next is a great
making the impossible
but you'll see it right
Check this out from Joel Myers.
(audience cheers)
- All right, you guys.
So today I'm gonna show
But in order to do that,
I'm gonna have to break a
You see, other than
how a trick is done,
another really big rule of magic
is not telling people
If you tell people the
you automatically lose
You guys this big
is the ending of
Remember that I said that.
Keep your eye on the box.
Now also in order
I need a random person
So we've got Noah here.
Noah, how are you, buddy?
- Good and you?
- I'm awesome.
So Noah, here's the plan,
Six different sides to it.
I'm gonna roll it a few times.
Okay, I want you to see it
- All right
- Each time I roll it.
You see that?
- Yes Sir.
- Here's what's gonna happen.
You're gonna take the cup.
- Okay.
- Go ahead and grab the cup.
We're gonna place the
Put your other hand on top.
Shake it up a little bit.
Whenever you feel comfortable,
turn the cup over on the table
leave the cup on
Go ahead.
- Sounds good
- Sweet, nicely done, man.
So here's the plan you guys,
we need a few other
So here's, what's gonna happen.
Maybe Noah, you pick
Go ahead and point to one
- That man right there.
- [Joel] This guy right here?
How's it going my friend?
Do me a favor,
name out loud your
- Lasagna.
- Lasagna, that's good.
You know what sucks though
and I have no idea
So here we go.
I'm gonna do my best.
Noah, how do you spell
- L-A-S-A-G-N-A
- L-A-S-A-G-N-A.
We'll go with that, okay.
(audience laughs)
So lasagna.
I'll pick you miss.
Do me a favor name,
- Snake.
That is an exotic animal.
That's good.
All right.
So we're gonna write
nice and bold like that.
Okay, Noah, you pick
Go ahead.
- Her on the end there.
- On the end, hi, how are you?
- I'm doing very
- Awesome.
- Name, your favorite flower.
- Roses.
- Aw that's adorable, roses.
(audience laughs)

Number four, I will pick
Bro, name your favorite
Not your underwear.
(audience laughs)
- Sweater
- Your sweater, you were
I could see it in your face.
(audience laughs)
Sweater, so we're gonna
Okay.
Number five.
Noah, you pick the fifth person.
- Her in the middle there.
- In the middle.
Okay, do me a favor, name
in your hands.
- Shovel.
- A shovel, that's great.
Shovel is good.
All right, we'll write shovel.
Okay.
I don't know what that means.
That's on your mind,
Okay.
Number six.
Noah, you can pick the last
- How about.
- Awesome.
So here's, what's gonna happen.
Name, for the last person,
name just a pet that
- Dog
- Dog, yeah, that's good.
Dog is pretty common.
Okay, so guys, here's
I'm gonna recap everything.
Everything was completely at
Noah, you were selected
- Yes sir.
- Then we picked all these
as well.
Everything completely random.
The craziest thing though,
in the very beginning,
You saw the dice roll the
You rolled it
We haven't even looked
Right guys?
For the first time,
let us know what number it is.
Say it nice and loud.
- Yep, it's a two.
- Two which is... what
- Snake
- Snake.
You guys, remember?
We started this trick
Check this out, you
I have...
a fake snake!
(audience laughs)
She was like, freaking out.
You're right, we should
It's a real snake.
See that?
We'll go one step
