10x07 - The Princess and the Wizard

Post by bunniefuu »

- From the Penn
and Teller Theater

at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas,

here's our host, Brooke Burke.

- Welcome aboard
Penn and Teller Airlines.

Tonight's in-flight
entertainment

will be four amazing magicians
from around the world.

So keep those seatbelts fastened

and lock your tray
tables because they're

gonna try and create
some turbulence

for our magical pilots,
Penn and Teller.

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.

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.

- Trying to win
his second "Fool Us" trophy,

welcome back Benjamin Barnes.

- Thank you.

Whoo!

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.

Self-published.

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.

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.

- 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."

"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."

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.

- 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.

- Aww.

- 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.

- Welcome back to the
epicenter of astonishment.

Let's meet our next
world-class act.

- From Japan, the mind-blowing
illusions of Hara.

- Do you always try
to tell a story through magic?

- Actually, this performance
is my childhood memories.

Every day, I was praying
under the cherry blossom tree.

And sometime I try
to speak with the birds.

That was my favorite
memory when I was kid.

So that's what I
perform here tonight.

Thank you so much.

- I know you wowed
Penn and Teller,

but let's see
if you fooled them.

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.

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?

- 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.

- 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.

OK, so Penn and Teller
figured out that last one.

They'll try to keep their streak

going before they take
the stage themselves

in tonight's finale.

So stick around.
You don't want to miss it.

- 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.

For sake.

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.

- 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...

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.

You've got some good ones.

- There's some good albums.

- 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...

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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?

- 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.

- 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.
- Good.

- Penn and Teller?

- 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.

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?
- Wow.

Really?

- 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.

Helen Coghlan is
a six-time Fooler,

and the night is not over.

Penn and Teller take
on more magicians

when "Fool Us" returns.

Don't go away.

- 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.

- 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.

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.

- 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.

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.

The one that
does not open the lock,

I'm putting inside the glass?

- Try every one
one by one, please.

- One...
- I try every one of them?

- Thank you so much, yes.
- 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.

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.

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.

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.

- Come on up.

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.

- 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.

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.

It's Brooke.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you.

You can go back to your seat.

Brooke, Penn and Teller,
everyone.

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.

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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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... excuse me, Sean.

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-a*s coffee table?

- Sure.

- Why don't we bring
this over here?

Put that next to the gold thing.

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.

My goodness.

What?

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.
