And what was your card?
Eight of clubs.
Watch.
I don't understand anything.
My name's Mikael.
I'm 28 years old.
I'm from Bergen,
and I'm a magician.
I don't really like fooling people.
Sometimes I even feel bad about it.
-What card did you choose?
-Ace of spades.
Do you notice I'm annoyed already?
But I love giving people
an exciting experience.
Are you doing something
extra difficult today?
I'm doing something extra difficult,
so I hope I'll warm up.
-Good luck.
-Thanks.
It would've been amazing to share
what I'm interested in with others,
and hopefully give them something
they feel is valuable.
Just don't cut me in half.
I promise I won't.
Bjarne, you look skeptical already,
so I have an assigment for you.
Can you take care of this for me?
Put your hands over this paper.
Take good care of it,
and put your hands over.
-Both?
-Yes.
Just watch it carefully.
Thanks.
Now I need Mia
to start thinking of any type of card.
It could be...
the first or last you think of.
It's up to you.
Yes, got it.
And Linn, could you think
of a number between 1 and 52?
I don't need to know now,
but soon.
I've brought something special with me.
This is a marked deck of cards.
I don't know if you can see the markings,
but it's pretty clear, I think.
There are numbers of the back.
On the front,
they look like they always do.
And now we're at the point
where you're thinking of a card,
and you a number.
Mia, what card are you thinking of?
Six of clubs.
Six of clubs.
Okay.
And it's the only
six of clubs in here.
Linn, which number are you thinking of?
Seven.
38, 47, 51...
-Seven?
-Yes.
The number seven.
We didn't arrange this in advance?
-Right?
-No. We haven't.
Bjarne,
you've been guarding something.
When I made this deck a few days ago,
I wrote something on each card.
I then removed two cards,
and photographed a picture of them.
And yesterday
I got that photograph printed.
You've guarded it,
and you could've chosen any card,
picked any number.
And if you let me see that now.
You can see that I'm still practicing.
Yeah.
But something else is wrong, too.
Do you notice?
Yeah.
They've been sort of switched around.
They were suppose to be facing this way.
Damn!
-Dear me!
-Thanks a lot!
-Very good!
-That's magic!
-Mikael, this was really good!
-Thanks.
I say this with great love,
but I think you're really annoying.
Really annoying,
because I don't get it.
I don't understand how you do it.
I really thought you screwed up.
And thought,
"you see, they can't do it".
"It's cheating".
And then you say
"what if I just flip these".
And then I'm like...
"Okay, that's good".
Right?
So I'm super impressed.
That was a lot of fun.
We'll see each other in a bit.
Keep that picture!
I was shocked.
I'm thinking black magic.
You know what?
You make me believe in magic.
That's great. I mean that.
I wasn't even that annoyed.
I just thought to myself...
Okay...
-Magic exists then.
-Yeah.
