The Amazing Magic of Coins and Cards by Joaquín Matas.

Hello, how are you? Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for these applause! Alright, alright, alright. Thank you for these so spontaneous and soulful applause. I always position myself there, in front of Risto. Edurne, you look so different. Without makeup, you lose—I see you're here already. So today I'm going to change. I'll go and stand on this side here, if you don't mind. I'm going to stand over here, I like having Alejandro here. They told me like that, out of the blue, huh? And what I will do is bring them close to me, Would you come over to this side? With makeup or standing? Stand up, stand up, stand up. Alright. So that your height shows, perfect. Hey, Risto, would you come over to this side here? Because it's going to be classic magic. Also, I've brought Yaya's wallet, which is a Moon by Arends. Yes? There it is, get over here. And as for you, if you wish to draw closer. I wish it were so. If you want to switch saws. Yes, change if you want to there. Yes, yes, that's it. Go ahead over there. Because it's a game played with silver coins. The last time, if you remember, I did it with silver and copper coins. Here are four coins that can be examined, checked, touched, and returned. Very important. This one, no, he cheats. Strike them against each other, make sure they are solid. Yes, that they are not magnetized. Wizards do very strange things. You see, right? And you are returning them with love. One, two, three, and four. It must be very clear that, in addition to these four coins, the sleeves are, how to say, ¿cómo? The rags, empty-handed, and the magician has showered today. Important. The people at home don't smell it, but you are right next to it. Risto and Dani, very attentive, very attentive. One, two, three, four. You up there, Dani, how many coins are there in total? Phew, it's tough, but there are four. University level Very well. Attention, because the more you look at this, the less you see. Four coins. We make this gesture without joining the hands. Risto, look. Three. And the first one. That's how it is, all of a sudden. But, but, but, but. Three are missing. Relaxed. A coin. How many are left? Three. Slow motion. Three. It sounds. Two and two. But that cannot be. But, but, but. Maybe, maybe I'm doing it too quickly. Slow motion. Dani, Risto, I don't know how much longer you're going to keep looking. The third time. One, two, three. There it has been seen, Risto. There you've seen the miaja, there you've seen it. Well, well. I had two and two, now I have one. And how many, Paula? Three. Alright, I'll leave it as it was. Look, two coins and two coins. Hold the wrist firmly. Hold it, Risto, the doll is there. That the blood circulates with a certain fluidity. Two and two, two and two. One, and one. Two and three. And the last one is missing. The most incredible thing. Paula, Paula. I want you to open your right hand, the other right hand, It's logical that you get confused when you have two. Look, put it like this, put it like this. Look, three coins change jauna. Two and three. Tell me one thing, Paula. Honestly, under these conditions, Is it possible for this coin to go from here to there? Yes or no? No. Yes, it just happened. But this is magic, not nonsense. In total, in total, how many are there? Four. None, none in the hands. Despacito, close your hand. Yes, let me grab the fourth one from the top. And squeeze tightly, because I can't insert anything. I can't enter anything. Three and a half. Mira, eh. Risto, don't take your eyes off it, now. Did you notice anything? No. Do you know why? Why? I still have it. But don't open it, because it might grab you strongly, right? Look, look. There it is, nothing. What if you open it? That can't be. I don't believe you. Open, open, open. The four coins inside. But how can that be? Thus. But how can that be? No, no, no. All day long. No, no, no. All day long. Stress, stress. Really, Risto, you can't live like this. But maybe you'd like to feel it in your hands. I want you to be the magician. Perform it just like professional magicians do. That's it, perfect. So, roll up, roll up. No, no, no. Put your hands like this. You can see the coins on screen, more or less, right? Look, I'm going to try, I'm going to try to make a coin pass from your right hand to your left hand I'm going to position myself over here so it looks good, okay? Look. How many coins are there in total? Four. I'm going to try not to add or remove anything. Sometimes I know myself and cheat. Close the other hand slowly and look, I'm doing nothing, right? Only like this. Risto, did you notice anything? No. There were four. Open. You flip a butterfly. One, two, three. And the most incredible part is that I haven't been able to get anything in there—I haven't even approached it. Slowly, open your hand. Nothing? Nothing. Haven't you noticed anything? No. That is, it's already late, and by this hour you don't notice it much. What time is it? What time do you have? What time is it? One o'clock and five. But look under the clock, Risto. Under your watch. Oh! Come on! Great! What a shame! Open, open. Alright, alright, alright. Alright, sit down, sit down, sit down. That's it, as I said the other day, this is global warming. Ah, well, well. That is the warming. Now I'm going to leave the coins right here. I am going to make a game in honor of a great master. Sometimes, wizards do magic, it seems we all make it up ourselves. It is true that they are personal versions. It's like jazz, like the standards are. And then each musician, in their own way, develops their approach, their manner of facing a game. And what you are about to see now is a wonderful game that has a lot of me in it, But it also owes much to my teachers. My teacher Gabi Paredes, my mentor, used to say What matters more than the impact is the quality of the impact. So, see if you like the quality of this impact. Look, a deck of poker cards, 52 cards, just like the 52 white keys on a piano. Johann von Pommel of Zinser said that card magic is the poetry of magic. and he was saying it not so much for the plasticity, not so much for the beauty, but for expressiveness. Many things can be expressed through letters. Would you mind shuffling the deck a bit with that unmatched style of yours? You know that I'm the one who mixes the cards the best, right? And of course, allow me the deck. Yeah, wait, it's already done. Let me have the deck, because I know you're thinking ill of me. It must be very clear that at the bottom part, You were thinking something, weren't you? I thought. I want it to be visible at the top that there are indifferent letters and in the lower part, there are indifferent letters. But how much time do you give me to find the four aces now? Do you want it in seconds? Yes. Four seconds? Then start counting from now on. Mira, it's already done. I do have plenty of time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, like this. All day long. One, three. And since we already have the four aces, since we have the four aces, I want to talk about this teacher who, for my generation, those of my generation, a great mentor, a great master a great... Pepe Carroll! Pepe Carroll, Pepe Carroll. Pepe Carroll, the creator of the game you are about to see. I've adapted it, I've created my own personal version, but he owes much to this master of magic which was known for television programs, making jokes, But he was a virtuoso of magic. Mira, I'm going to ask you, Paula, I'm going to mix the cards a bit like this, Tell me, from the assassins, a number from one to four. A number from one to four. One. The one, perfect. We're removing it now. For example, which one do you like? Two. Two, perfect. And now, between these two, which one do you like better? Picas Pics, man, more important. Then, the other three I will leave under your careful watch. I'm going to ask you, Dani, I'm going to leave you there. If I approach, you scream. We are writing an essay. If I approach, you scream. Ah, well, well. As if you were from León, like this. Imagine that I approach you. Perfect. This one's typical, isn't it? So, Picas, Picas, Picas, pay attention. It's fine because you've chosen the blacks. And then you chose what does not belong to Picas. At first, the deck of dunes was shuffled, Why didn't you make the northern American mix? What's this one here, the northern American blend? And you can also make the Southern American blend. Do you know what it's like or not? No. It's the same, but further down. That is, it can be mixed a bit lower down. So, the thing is that the letters get mixed up, They are also cut, Cut and complete the cut, for the north and the south. Perfect. And it also cuts. Be careful—there's a hysterical woman who'll scream if you get too close. Be careful that...! Yes, cut, cut. There. Perfect. Under these conditions, I will try to Find the twelve cards of the Spades suit, mixed by Edurne. Look, see, two. We do it this way. And the two comes to hand. Wait, wait! Relax, relax, relax! There are eleven cards left, that's all. Now let's move on to three. Only the three must be done this way. Well, well, let's see if it comes out. Thus, thus, thus. And the three doing little spins—that's the cool part. Wait, wait, wait! Four, neither above nor below. It's cut to a hand, and there goes the four. It's awesome, it's awesome, it's awesome. Five, five, five, five. It's a letter you can make expensive if you wish. because anyway... Have you watched the episodes? Because you are looking at the hands. No, no, all the time in case we have to shout. But haven't you realized yet, Let me approach you. Why haven't you noticed that a letter has slipped in? You haven't realized it, even amidst the assassins, And the card that slipped in between the aces is the five. Have you seen how he slipped it in? Wait, wait! Now let's move on to a truly complicated letter, What is six? Six always brings me trouble. I'm going to cut it like this, like this. I'm going to make the casino mix. Do you know why the casino mix is called Paula? No. Because it almost didn't come out for me. That's it. And it's called a casino mix, and you make it like this. Six, six, six. Shuffled deck. Relax. Calm down, you hysterical person, it's just a thing that happened. Shuffled deck, cut deck. That's all you have to do. and in the mixture I'm going to... The seven, the seven, the seven. Now the eight. My goodness! The eight, an ethereal card of volatility. Shh, shh, shh. The eight in the middle. The nine and the ten, the two cards together, What are... What are they, Paula? Nine and ten. Well, two fantastic rhombus letters. But if you take the two diamond cards and do it like this... Nine and ten. But what is this? Thank you. And there remain the figures, the most complicated ones. You just have to do it like this, cut like this, like this, and like this. And on top of each package... Pardon? This... Do you? I can't believe you. Dani, I'm asking you this with affection. Have you properly watched the aces? Yes, but I'm going to Risto for a moment and that's it... You lost it, you lost it, because here I have the J. Of course! Thank you. I said I was going to do classic magic, that classical magic is magic, has hundreds of years of history, sometimes thousands of years, as with the jubilees, but this game was a classic invented in the 1970s, When Tepecano was very young, and became a classic, Not for this reason, that is skill, virtuosity, if you wish, but rather the second part. Keep one of the aces in your hand. Which one do you like? The one with hearts. Neither the one of clubs nor the one of diamonds. Before we did it with the stick of what? Of spades. Well, just imagine how I'm going to find the hearts. So, so, so, so, so. And so the hearts. We dusted them over the spears. No, no, no. Yes, yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes. And now I have the ace, the two, the three, the four, All the hearts! Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Yes, as Giuseppe Verdi said, Go back to the classic and head toward the modern. and truly, I believe this magic is there, It is a very powerful magic. We tend to imitate everything that comes from the United States. And Spanish card magic is a world power. It is a world power. We are the best at this. Then I'm going to shuffle the deck a bit like this. Also, I want you to cut and finish the cut, Dani. why has the gaming law been kept there, And these things, I am now going to try to do something special. I'm going to try to capture, capture, like this, for example I'm going to cut here. I'm going to cut here, into different packages. They don't need to be exactly the same, but roughly the same, like this. Four packages, you mixed them up at the beginning. Yes. Notice, when you put affection into something And you dedicate your life to such an absurd thing What can a poker deck be like, That affection, that passion, that talent—if you want it, The deck returns it to you many times over, and not only can you order... It can't be, it can't be. ...all the cards of the spades suit... It can't be. all the cards of the hearts suit, yes, of course, all the clovers and diamonds in absolute entirety. It's nighttime, watching the jury... Go over here. How hard the night is. Good thing we brought Jandro along to certify it, from a professional perspective We have a magical, phenomenal night. Hi there! Thank you, thank you. Congratulations, uncle. Jandro, Mr. Notary, how did you see it? I'm here. Never. That is the first thing. I'm taking the gift mug, and that's that. I want you to know that what he has done is very difficult. Okay? But he did it very well on top. He did the coin thing while being surrounded. And with Risto looking down, and Paula also looking down. And take notice, I want you to know, I have known Joaquín for 30 years. We both had hair. At that time. Still has it, huh? Yes, yes. And take note, I want you to know not only is one of the best magicians in this country, but rather one of the most humble, because he had no reason to have taken the photo of Pepe Carroll and have mentioned it to him and have said, This artwork is by Pepe Carroll. although he has continued working on it and improved it. But it's only so you can see the human quality this work possesses. Risto, I don't know if you'd like to add anything to your notary's assessment. I think this year, this edition is all about magic. We can finish the edition now, we can vote. I believe, indeed, that people need magic. And finally, we have in the final of Got Talent, not one, but several numbers of magic that deserve... A magical final, a magical final. With you completely. It's truly amazing to see and enjoy you up close. I am a fan of close-up magic. I'm also going to grab a little bit. But it's just that... That is, the number has been incredible, But the thing is, I still don't really understand about the coins. I did it, the trick. I just don't understand it. I did it. I don't understand it, really. So, you're... I mean, really, huge congratulations. You are spectacular. And the worthy winner of this edition. Joaquín, as a lover of magic and since I've been in this program, Much more so because I've had the chance to see it up close and enjoy it in a very special way. Thank you. Alright, uncle. And beyond the trick, How's it going, the pace you're setting? The comedy you're doing. So, it's obvious you've been doing this for many years And you're a great magician, as Jandero used to say. Congratulations. Yes, sir. And it has added value because of the magic up close It gets complicated from the age of 40 onwards. Yes. Around the perimeter, I mean. Is this a joke or not? Alright, Joaquín, we'll leave it here. Joaquín, there's someone who wants to extend an invitation to you. Very, very special. Stay alert to the screen. Hello, Joaquín.
