While Cy and David are out here checkin' out
all these cool rides, I"m lurking behind the
scenes trying to find a cool story or just
something fun to do!
And today, I found it!
This is Curtis The Mentalist and I've been
seeing him do some really cool tricks
and I wanna know, WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE, CURTIS??
Well, for one I love cars and it's a great
place to be, number one
and two, I'm going to attempt one of the most
difficult mentalism feats that there is
Oh, really?
That is, convincing one of these car owners
to loan me their car and drive it BLINDFOLDED.
Really?
I've tried to get some of these owners to
let me drive their car, it doesn't work out
very well, let me just tell you that from
the beginning!
Ok.
So you think you're gonna try to drive one
of these blindfolded?
That I can do, the hard part is going to be
convincing one of them to loan me the car!
Okay, Curtis, before I can endorse you and
hopefully get you into one of these cars,
you're gonna have to prove to me first that
you're actually credible and that you can
actually do one of these things!
Okay, let's give it a try!
Alright, I'm ready!
I'm going to try to infuence you to make a
decision on something.
Okay, that's hard; my husband tries that it's
not very easy.
No, go ahead!
Picture in your mind just a standard deck
of playing cards, poker sized deck of cards.
Okay
Think about the fact that a deck has three
different...it's composed of three different
things
you have two different colors, black cards
and red
right
you have four different suits
and thirteen different numerical values
gotcha
What I want to start with first is a color.
Red and Black.
Those are the two colors in the deck.
I'd like you to pick one.
Whatever you pick, that's the one that we
will use.
Should I tell you?
Yes.
Just say it out loud.
I"m gonna go "red."
You'll go with the RED?
Yeah
Would you like to keep that or change your
mind?
No, I'm gonna go with red.
You're gonna go with the red.
Yes!
Red cards are either hearts or diamonds.
And you can just pick either one.
I mean, either suit, it doesn't really matter.
If you feel like something's influencing you
to choose a particular suit, go for that.
Okay, do I tell you again?
Yes, tell me again...I'm not a mindreader,
you know?
Go for the heart.
For the heart!
Yes.
Did you notice I was doing that?
I know, as I was doing this
Do you want to keep hearts or do you want
to change?
I wanna go for the red heart
You wanna go for the red heart, you don't
want to change!
I'm just making sure that you're made up in
your mind.
So we're going with hearts
Now I want you to go with Ace through thirteen,
or Ace through King.
Ace, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, 10, Jack, King, Queen
Pick one of those, the first one that comes
to mind.
Okay.
Do I tell you again?
Yes.
Okay.
I'm going for the lucky seven.
The lucky seven?
Uh huh!
So a SEVEN, and a HEART.
And that's red.
That's red, of course!
Just to clarify.
There's no black seven of hearts that I know
of.
Now here's the interesting thing...
I have a deck
Maybe in your deck!
I have a deck of cards here and wouldn't it
be amazing if in my deck of cards there was
a seven of hearts??
That would be amazing wouldn't it?
I"m going to guess that there probably IS
a seven of hearts.
No that wouldn't be amazing at all, actually
There should be a deck should have a seven
of hearts in it.
Here's what's interesting
Earlier you pointed to me and you said "did
you notice that you have a card sticking out
of your pocket?"
Yes, I did.
And I said "Well, yes, it's there for a reason."
And the reason it's there is see you chose,
freely of your own, the seven of hearts
and that is exactly the card I've been trying
to influence you to choose all along.
HA HA HA HA HA!
The seven of hearts!
Almost like real magic.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Seriously!
How did you DO that??
I thought I did it very well, actually.
You did it very well.
Cause we had NO conversations at ALL about
that!
Okay, I am definitely convinced!
Okay, we have GOT to do this trick!
And you know what?
Not only will we do this trick, but I will
ride in the car with you!
Did you hear that folks?
She's offering to ride WITH ME!
Yeah!
So when we come back, we're gonna find a car,
and
WE'RE GONNA DO THIS!
