- Hello and goodbye forever
on "Junk Drawer Magic."
- Today is a special "Spirit
Riding Free"-themed episode
and, wait.
Did you say "Goodbye forever?"
- Yep, I watched all eight
seasons of "Spirit Riding Free,"
and now I found my
new true calling.
Incredible horse-riding.
(adventurous music)
- Whoo!
- Yep, I'm headed out west
to meet my new best friend,
a horse named El Pollo
Loco, meaning brave horse.
- Okay, first, el pollo loco
does not mean brave horse.
And second, you're a magician.
You don't know how
to ride a horse.
- Akira, do not
step on my dreams.
You're being a real
Grayson right now.
Grayson's a really mean guy.
- Okay, Walker, I really think
you should stick to magic.
How about a trick that's
in the spirit of "Spirit"?
Check out my magic lasso.
- Um, that's just
a piece of string.
- Oh, I wouldn't be so sure.
Here, check out my
deck of "Spirit" cards.
I've got Spirit, and
Chica Linda, Boomerang.
Here. Oh, and would you mind
cutting the deck for me?
- Sure.
- All right.
Can I borrow your cowboy hat?
- Okay, but please don't put
nacho cheese in it this time.
- No promises.
All right.
So here's your card.
- [Walker] Okay.
- Put this back in.
You can shuffle the
deck if you want.
And now I'm just
gonna take the cards
and sprinkle them into the hat.
Take my magic lasso.
I'm gonna try to
lasso your card.
I think I got something.
Did you pick Boomerang?
- Yeah, I did.
Whoa!
Okay, I won't run away.
For now.
- And we'll teach you how
to do this trick right now.
Let's go to the junk drawer.
For this trick, you'll
need a thin cotton rope,
two small round magnets,
a deck of playing cards,
I'm using "Spirit Riding
Free" cards that I designed,
"Spirit Riding Free" toys,
a cowboy hat, Super Glue,
Elmer's Glue,
scissors, and a napkin.
First, we're gonna
make our magic lasso.
Tie a rope around Boomerang.
Then, cut that
rope smaller here.
Cut a long piece
of rope, like this.
Then, take the
long piece of rope
and open up the end, like this.
Put a small dab of Super
Glue inside the end.
Then, place a
magnet on top of it.
Place dabs of Elmer's Glue
around the edge of the magnet.
Use the napkin to clean
off the excess glue.
Then, with scissors, carefully
snip the end of the rope
so that the end is clean.
Use the Elmer's Glue again
on the outside of your rope.
That way, the end of
your rope won't fray.
Again, use the napkin to
clean off the excess glue.
Now you'll add a magnet
to your smaller rope,
following the same
steps as before.
Remember to fix your frayed end
the same way you did
on the last rope.
You want this magnet to
attract to the magnet
on the other rope.
Finally, retie the smaller
rope around Boomerang.
Place Boomerang
inside the cowboy hat.
And that's all the prep.
Now for the trick.
Start by using the criss
cross force on your audience.
Place your Boomerang card
on the bottom of your deck
and ask your audience
to cut the deck.
They'll take off the
top, set it on a table,
and you can show
them the bottom card,
which is always going
to be Boomerang.
After that, set the deck aside
and move on to your cowboy hat.
Take the deck and sprinkle
your cards into the cowboy hat.
This will also cover Boomerang.
Take your long
rope, reach it in,
and really act like
your lassoing something,
making sure that the two
magnets stick together.
Pull up on your long rope,
use your thumb and index finger
to cover up the point
where the ropes meet,
and reveal Boomerang!
And that's the trick.
- Cool. I'm ready to try it.
(upbeat music)
- Thanks for watching
"Junk Drawer Magic."
And make sure to check out
"Spirit Riding Free" on Netflix.
- Hey, Akira.
I'm back from my adventures.
Ooh.
- You were gone
for five minutes.
- Yeah, I don't want
to be a cowboy anymore.
It's rough out west.
- Out west?
- Yeah, I was at the
bus stop west of here.
And I ran into a masked bandit
who lassoed me and
stole all my money.
- Wow, that sounds rough.
She sounds like a
really mean bandit.
- I never said the
bandit was a girl.
- No, you know, you did.
Yeah, right?
I wasn't there.
- Huh.
Okay.
I'm gonna go rest up.
Oh!
Ah, ah, no, not again!
It was you!
