Magicians: Life in the Impossible Page #4

jan rouven.

thank you very much

for your applause.

My name is jan rouven,

and I came all the way

From germany to be here

for you tonight.

What you are about

to see tonight,

It's dangerous.

For this show,

for "illusions,"

I wanted to bring something

you never, ever saw before

In other magic shows.

-Great job!

-Thank you!

I signed that for you.

- Thanks for coming.

- -thank you.

All the best.

Au revoir.

I'm soaking wet,

jump out of my cloth.

I blow-dry my hair all

in three and a half minutes.

That's my biggest

miracle.

Good night!

Amazing as always.

- Ah, yes, this is good.

-It's not real.

-Yeah, it is.

-Touch it.

-It's a real tattoo.

- How cool is that?

See, that's a true fan.

if I do any sort

of marketing,

I sell me

and not magic.

There's this sort of

geek chic-ness now,

right?

'cause it's cool

to be this way?

It wasn't always cool.

I've been this way

my whole life,

But now it's cool

to be this way.

So-- and now that

it's cool to be this way,

I think it's totally

fair that I can be--

I'm cool, and so I'm going to

put that out there

And be-- look, hey,

I'm a geek but whatever.

You're supposed

to love me anyway.

I've been coming

to comic-con as a fan

For many, many,

many years.

Because of this comic book

that I helped create

That does magic

and is about magic,

I get to be on

the other side of the table,

Taking people who

might not like magic

And then make

fans out of them.

Comics is an amazing medium

in which you can direct

Someone exactly the way

you want them to go.

The author is

in complete control of

what they're seeing.

You just tell me when

we see the two of hearts.

And magic's the same way.

I'm in control

Of what you see

and what you won't see,

And give you the experience

that I want you to have.

I am sitting here

right now with mike costa

and jon armstrong,

Creators of

"smoke and mirrors."

It's an amazing book that

actually does magic for you

As you read it.

It's incredible.

You see these cards here?

All right,

so just think of one.

Got one?

All right.

So now as you turn the page

and you read along

in the story,

He's gonna tell you that

your card is gone, and look,

your card is gone.

-Yeah, yeah, okay.

-Well.

Yeah.

-And how did you do that?

-It's magic.

Look at that.

There'll be a q&a

at the panel.

By all means,

ask at the panel.

Thank you.

- We do "smoke and mirrors.

- " -we love "smoke and mirrors."

You love "smoke and mirrors"?

They love "smoke and mirrors"!

That one there?

All right, take it out.

You can look at it

but don't show me.

Just say--

just say "stop."

-Stop.

-Okay, good.

There you go.

-Put it back in.
