I Was Worried For Her Hand

There's a very fine line between a magician and a con artist. We're on 112th Street in Madison. We're in Taft Projects, man. That's where we at, man. Taft, you understand film. My boy David Clayton's here. You know that game that's called Three Card Monty? Usually you bet money and if you can spot the ace or the queen, you win. This is a money card. This is all you have to do is find this and you get whatever you got here double. You understand? So all you have to do is find this. But it's not going to be with two cards. I'm going to use three cards. So I got the joker, right? And I'm going to pull out another joker. Can you all see that? You can all see that, right? There's one joker. There's two jokers. And here's the money card. The one that we're playing with, right? Okay, so I do like this, right? So now you know what to follow. Okay, so I do this. Where's the queen? Right here. No, no, you just, yeah. You just, you just lost. Hold on, hold on. Let's do it again. Hold your hand out. Watch, watch, watch. Here, let's do it again. Because here's the idea. Ready? See, I do like this, right? Okay. And now you know this time. You know exactly where, where's the queen now? No, no. See, you just lost double your money. So you know all the different cards in the deck. Take one out. Let everybody see it. Show the camera as well. Good. Don't let me see it, but show everybody else. Let them all see it. Everyone sees the card? Yeah? Good. And then you can put it back inside and remember your card. Good. Now, here's what we're going to try. You're going to basically find your card by stabbing into the deck. So watch carefully. Hold tight so it won't slip. And then just stab right into the deck ahead. Yep, pick up. Now, hold on. You could have cut anywhere in the deck. Turn over the card that she cut to. And look, look. If you would have gotten one card more anywhere else, it would not have worked. Look, anywhere else would not have worked. And you can see you stabbed exactly to that point. Look. I'm shaking. Oh my God. This is a demonstration in manipulation. I'm going to teach you what I'm doing. So really, this is only going to be for you. It's only going to be for her. Okay? So look, I'll take some of your money. Do like this. You take a bill. And remember, this is… And just lean forward so you can see. Just look, watch. So when you do something with the money, it's like literally… Like I showed you when I do this, right? But it's also like, you know, when you do like that, it also just… You see? Here. But again, this is just for her. I want you to understand. Here. Look, even with two bills, watch. And this is more difficult because it's bigger. Just lean forward so you can see. Lean forward so you can see. See, and it's that quick. See, this is a demonstrate. Here, let me… You know, we can do a cell phone as well. Is this… Here. This is yours? Yes. So watch how quickly it goes. Watch. So it's one, two… Look. No way. I owe her a new phone. You know how this works? It's like… Oh my God. What the f***? Oh my God. No, okay. So flip it and like… No, it's gone. I'm not a violent person. That was really… It traveled into your friend's bag. Go ahead. Reach inside. Go ahead. Let her reach in. I saw it. I saw it go into the… Look, in the bag. I saw it go into the water. Reach inside. Check. Make sure it's her phone. Oh my God. I saw it go… Is that phone important to you? I just got like a week ago. Like, exactly. Like… Yeah. What the f*** just happened? That's my phone. It's in my bag. Grab her purse. Grab it. Grab her purse. What the f***? What the f*** just happened? Yo! Oh my God. Wait, wait, wait. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let me open it. It's like a giraffe with a scotch. Yo! Do we have a bill? Like a big bill? I mean… $20? Yes. Perfect. Now what do I… Can you give her the cigarette? Here's what I want you to do. You see the bill? Mm-hmm. Can you burn a hole in the bill? Yeah. Burn a hole. Push it right through. Slowly, slow. Good, push. Yeah, slow. Slow, slow. Burns through. See how it burns through? Good. And let go of the cigarette. Can you see how it's through the bill? Yeah. It's okay. Mm-hmm. See? Yeah. Do it again. Do me a favor. Mm-hmm. Grab the cigarette from the bottom. From the bottom. Under here. Carefully. Don't hurt yourself. And just see how there's a hole? Just pull. Pull. See how it works? What? Take. Check. Look. Make sure it's real. What? That's impossible! Can you unlock your phone? Yeah. Can you push that button there for me? This one? Yep. Push that orange one. Now here, type any three digits right now. Don't think. Three digits. Push times. Can you hand it to her? Take the phone. Can you type any three digits? Three digits. Do plus. Plus. Can you hand it to him? Hand it to him. And it says happy birthday on there. It's your birthday? Can you write any four digits? Four digits. Can you push divided by? Hand it to him. For the last one, hold on. I want you to do this. Just right now, just say stop whenever you want. Stop. Here? You're friends with him? We just met tonight. You just met? And you want me to... He's the one. Okay. Did you type a two... You push divided by? I didn't press anything. Push a two-digit number. Two-digit number. He did divided by and push equals. Let me see it. Hold it up so we can all see it. Hold it up. Now wait. You did all the math correct? Correct. I didn't do anything. You pointed to him, correct? Correct. That number must mean something to you. Show him the number. That's... What is it? My dad's lucky number. My mom's lucky number. My lucky number is 777. That was my bank account. Number 9477. I swear on my mother's life. No way. Holy... I swear to God. No way. You're lying. I don't believe you. Can you prove it? We could go to the ATM right now. Pull out your cell phone. Oh. Watch this. 9477. What? No way. Oh my God. Please stop. Yo. Hey, Corolla. You're the one. Stop. Wild. My God. That was awesome. Can you spray the cards like that? Can you do that? Try. Here, take this. Take it. And try to spray them all from back there to me. Yeah, yeah. But to me. Yeah, yeah. But hold on. Do it to me. Spray them this way. Yeah, yeah. Leave them. Leave it. No, no. Leave, leave, leave. Spray here. Go hard. Go. Perfect. You thought of a card? What card were you thinking of? Ace. Of what? Spades. Bingo. Think of any color you're thinking of. So when I say think of any color, say it in your head over and over. I got it. Maybe come right here. Yeah, also, also perfect. You're both so in on this. I don't believe you. I do, yeah. This is full, full. Stay here, stay here. But listen to me. Here's the part that's important. Even if they're in on it, nobody knows what color you're thinking of, okay? You want me to make it appear right across the wall, your color, okay? I'm going to make it appear right over love. We were promised fire as well. I hope you deliver. Okay, you want fire? I want fire. I need alcohol for that. Somebody has a drink with them, right? I do, I do, I do. Okay, good. And I need something to light on fire. Does somebody have... Perfect. Let me dip this right in here, okay? You're thinking of a color. Yes. And I said that we're going to make it appear right here for you. Okay. Okay? I won't flinch from that. Your color will appear right where you want it to. Do you want to tell everybody what your color is? No, I want you to tell me you love me. Can you hold your hand out? Count 10 cards into her hand for me. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Now for this, we don't care what the number in suit is. We don't care about anything other than the actual paper that makes a card. You understand? You hold the big portion. I want you to do a count so they can all see it. That's one. Make sure it's not too stuck, right? And you put it upside down on the bottom. That's the second card, right? Two, keep going out loud. Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Hold them against your heart for me. Do me a favor, think of a small number. Okay, got it. Say it out loud. Three. You want three cards to travel right there from here? You have 10, you want three, right? Yes. Have you been holding the whole time? Yes. Did you think of three? Yep. Three cards just jumped into your half. Hold your hand out. So hold your hand out. You should have 13 cards. 13 cards. Count the first 10 and then show the last three out loud. Two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Show them, show them, show them. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. You ain't run this one. Take all of them against your heart. All of them against your heart. Hold them against your heart. Think of a number up to 10. All right. I got it. Say it out loud. Nine. Nine? You're going to feel it just got bigger. Count again? Count, go ahead. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. Okay. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Oh wait, we're short two. Reach in your pocket. Go ahead. Reach inside. Yo, you pulled two cards out your back pocket. I'm, wow. And then the other one. That's insane. Come on, man. How'd you get the two in it? You, you working with him, right? You're working with him, man. You're working with him. I live right over there. I know where that is. This is his wallet. How'd you get the two in the back pocket? I'm about to hit those bars, man. I'm about to work out. Can you pull out like a, like a, you know what? Yeah, I can pull out a Benjamin. Pull out a 20 is better. I don't want to destroy it. That would be nice if you destroy my cash, obviously, man. Yeah, I don't want to destroy it. Do exactly as I do. I'd love to do what you do. So just fold the bill nice and crisp. Crisp. Crisp is my middle name. Adam Crisp Newman. Yeah, good. And then do like long ways. Oh, sure. Hard, hard, hard. I got you, I got you. Yeah, like, so it's, you know. Like so. Tucked tight. Like that? Nice and neat. Great. It's a little messy, but it doesn't matter. You're 20. Here, you guys can see. Great hair color still. And I tuck. Tuck it inside. Just like this. But you can still see a little bit. Yes, I can still see a little bit. Yes, everything you're saying is accurate. You need everything? Holy hell. What are you, Harry Houdini? That's amazing. Anyway, thank you, man. That's amazing. What about my 20? You're good. Thank you. What about my 20? Can I get my money back? You said you didn't need it. I did say I didn't need it. No, but what's that statement? It's like time is what? Money. What is that? Time is money. I'm still confused. What time is it? My man. Oh, yes. I don't know who that guy is. Not from this planet. Harry Houdini. Who is he? David Blaine is extremely famous. Who's David Blaine? He held his breath for like six weeks. He did underwater. That was a thing. Hold on, wait. Let me try something. Dude, is this you? Oh, yeah, my man. What's up? Touch one. The Jack of Spades? Yes. Yes? You guys all see Jack of Spades? OK, so here's what we do. The rest, can you hold this? Let's do this. We'll do a little rip. You see? All right. Um, hold this. Make sure it doesn't go anywhere. Look. If you fix that car, then I'm going to just scream. Well, before we fix it, we need to find a piece for it. Do you have something personal of yours? Like even a wallet or a case? Just something. Can you pull it out and bring it here for a second? Did I go near your wall? No. Oh. See if it fits. What? Here, put the piece in my mouth. Go ahead. Come on. See how? Think of somebody important in your life. You threw the quarter right there. A name will appear right there. See how it's starting to rain? The water will make it appear. I'll help. Oh my god! What? You're weird! Oh my god. Who are you? That's my dad. Give me a dollar bill. Whose one dollar bill was that? It was his. It was yours? And you want it to become a hundred? Yeah. If it becomes a hundred, you're sharing it among the four of you, right? All right, hold on, hold on. Squeeze, squeeze. You want the print, you want it to change to a real hundred. Mamas, I do. Holy ----, what the hell? Hear that? Open, open it. Was it a hundred or a dollar? I don't even know. I just did something.
