DADDY CLAY: The next time your kids are complaining
because all you ever say is “Stop” and
“Be careful” just do this…
Hey, welcome back to Quality Time. Today in
the studio I’ve got with us master magician
and host of Revision 3’s hit series Scam
school. Brian Brushwood is right here in the
studio.
BRIAN: How’s it going Clay?
DADDY CLAY: Brian, thanks so much for coming
in today. Hey, you need to go to Scam School
TV and check out this guy’s show because
it’s absolutely astonishing and amazing.
You know this particular show is sponsored
by Baby Bjorn. This is a Baby Bjorn bib which
you should probably wear when you’re eating
fire.
BRIAN: That way it doesn’t get all over
your shirt. Nasty stains.
DADDY CLAY: Yeah, it keeps the fire off of
your clothes and in your mouth where it belongs.
BRIAN: This one’s great if you have teenagers.
Here you just go ahead and take a card.
DADDY CLAY: Ok.
BRIAN: Yeah, this time I don’t want to see
it. Just say when.
DADDY CLAY: Ok stop.
BRIAN: Stick that in there. As I mentioned
we’re going to cut the cards a whole bunch
of times and the thing is I’m not holding
any kind of break but I know it’s somewhere
near the middle of the deck so this way it’s
nowhere I could possibly know where it is.
Now you cut the cards.
DADDY CLAY: Ok, I’ll cut the cards and put
it here.
BRIAN: Excellent. Here’s what I’m going
to do. I’m going to go through the cards.
If you see your card do not react. This isn’t
about the cards. It’s about you. Me watching
you, you watching the cards. Ok?
DADDY CLAY: Ok.
BRIAN: Alright, don’t react if you see your
card. Wait. You remember the card, right?
DADDY CLAY: Yeah. Oh, it’s on tape!
BRIAN: Right.
DADDY CLAY: I’ve got to check this out.
BRIAN: Don’t react if you see the card.
You ready? Huh… interesting… Clay, how
much you want to bet that the next card I
turn over is your card?
DADDY CLAY: I’ll swallow fire. Oh, I already
did that.
BRIAN: No, that’s good! So you’ll buy
me a beer?
DADDY CLAY: Absolutely.
BRIAN: Alright there you go, the next card
I turn over is your card.
DADDY CLAY: That’s good. That’s good.
BRIAN: So all you need to do is to be able
to remember one card. All you got to do is
remember the bottom card of the deck.
DADDY CLAY: But I already screwed that up
once.
BRIAN: That is true. All we’re going to
remember in this case is the two of diamonds.
You have them pick whatever card they want.
That’ll be their card. In fact you and I
don’t know what the card is but the camera
does and then all you have to do is just say
stop whenever you want.
DADDY CLAY: Stop.
BRIAN: There we go. We’re going to cut the
cards over and so we’re going to put which
card?
DADDY CLAY: The two of diamonds.
BRIAN: The two of diamonds. The only card
we’re going we’re going to remember. I
don’t know what their card is. I don’t
know where their card is but I do know it’s
right underneath –
DADDY CLAY: The two of diamonds.
BRIAN: So the whole rest of the trick I’m
going “two of diamonds, two of diamonds,
two of diamonds.” When you cut the cards
people think it mixes up the cards. Doesn’t
mix up the card at all. Because even if you
cut right between the two and whatever their
card is the next time you cut it it’ll just
put the cards back together. Make sense?
DADDY CLAY: Mmhmm…
BRIAN: So then I say watch the cards, I’m
going to watch you and I’m thinking to myself:
two of diamonds, two of diamonds, two of diamonds.
Keep on going – mmm, very interesting - two
of diamonds, two of diamonds, two of diamonds,
mmmm, I’m paying close attention to you.
Now I just saw the two of diamonds so the
next card I flip over is going to be their
card so what I do is I kick it out a little
bit and I make sure that all my other cards
go over here so at all times you can plainly
see his card right there and then I stop at
some arbitrary moment and say “how much
do you want to bet?” and this is my favorite
part, by the way, because you lie without
saying anything. You say “how much do you
want to bet that the next card I turn over
is going to be your card?
DADDY CLAY: And they’re very smug.
BRIAN: Yes, they’re very smug because they
can see their card over there. They can see
you clearly indicating this card is the one
you’re going to turn over. If you have a
teenager be prepared for them to bet anything.
You’re going to have his Xbox in no time.
It’s going to be amazing. Then all you do
is you reach for it and boom, just like that.
Oh, it’s this one, whatever it is. That
was your card from earlier.
DADDY CLAY: Brain, thanks tons for coming
in.
BRIAN: Dude it was fantastic.
DADDY CLAY: You guys have got to check out
ScamSchool.tv. He’s got 50 episodes in the
can and every single one of them is pure gold.
You got to check it out. That’s all for
us this week here at DadLabs.
