Magicians: Life in the Impossible Page #5

-Upside down.

There you go.

We have one left of our

exclusive con-- issue one,

But I'm sold out of issue

twos and threes and fours.

- that's good.

-Sold out of everything.

Now this is very,

very important.

This card here...

Is that your card?

No? All right,

do me a favor.

Go

on the card.

Yeah?

Okay, good.

That's it?

Thank you very much.

All right.

No problem, man.

When you ask me

what it feels like,

I am giving them something

special and memorable,

But it's also scary to me.

True, hard-hitting,

emotional things,

Something that magic

can really do,

Something that magic

can really bring out,

That is way too much

pure emotion

That I don't want to deal with

and I don't want to feel.

So I have to keep it

happy and humorous,

To make me feel better

about having that kind of

impact on somebody.

It's hard to stop myself

from not just making

the next joke,

To not just say

the next sarcastic comment,

Which is how I've always

sort of pushed people

away from me.

All right.

- ready?

-Yeah, let's rock.

ladies and gentlemen,

Are you ready

to transcend reality?

Let's hear it for

david minkin!

we'll start with

something really simple.

You probably wouldn't even

have noticed this

If I hadn't

pointed that out.

Audience:
Whoa!

I could distract you

just by doing that, right?

Oh, my god!

--now that

I have your attention.

- oh, my god!

You know what?

I'm losing them.

What's going on?

are you not watching this?

You guys are so

distracted.

This is short

attention span theater

going on right here,

So, um, I gotta

keep it simple,

Simple it down for this group

a little bit,

Because the artistic,

deeper stuff,

Is not gonna flow.

People always think that

I use sleight of hand

to do this stuff,

And I just-- I think

I get a little insulted

When people accuse me

of sleight of hand, you know?

- honestly?

- -oh, my god.

where does it go?

We want to know where it goes.

So don't be too impressed.

That was just 13 years

of college down the drain.

Give it up for michelle,

the bachelorette.

Watch closely.

Four coins.

mm-hmm.

-From this hand...

-Mm-hmm.

What the f***--?

wait, wait, david.

Can you do this if

you're naked, though?

- That's the real question.

- -yeah, naked.

- What's this?

- -naked, naked!

naked! Naked!

That's a whole other

price of a ticket.

in your little skimmies.

wear your little skimmies!

You guys don't even need me

to be doing magic up here.

Right?

I should just-- here.

You know what?

Here.

I'm just gonna

take her seat.

Entertain them.

There's like 15 bachelorettes

yelling my name right now,

And I have no interest

in going in there.

There's actually a girl
