10x19 - Magic is for the Birds

Post by bunniefuu »

- From the Penn & Teller Theater

at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas,

here's our host Brooke Burke.

- Welcome to "Fool Us."

It is such a thrill for me
to be hosting this show

because I love magic.

And I can't wait
to see what acts

we have on tonight's show.

So let's get started
and bring out

two of the greatest magicians
of all time,

Penn and Teller!

Remember,
if Penn & Teller get fooled,

they give that magician
a slot in their show

and a beautiful
"Fool Us" trophy.

Let's meet our first magician.

- OK.

I'm Moxie Jillette.

First things first,
Penn's my dad.

And he has no idea that
I am in Las Vegas right now.

He thinks I left for
Scotland a week ago.

So when he calls,
I try to sound jet lagged.

When he video calls,
I hide under this blanket

because the sun
shouldn't be shining

at 2:00 a.m. in Scotland.

This is the hardest thing I've
ever done because I've never

lied to my dad before ever.

You have to understand,
my dad and I are super close.

We hang out together.

We talk magic late at night.

And Teller is like
an uncle to me.

When I was a baby,
he built my crib.

Last week, he thought
he was helping me

practice magic for a show
that I'm not even doing.

It's all a ruse.

So in a way, I've already fooled

Penn and Teller,
but sadly not in a way

that'll get me a trophy,
but it'll be worth it.

When I step out on that stage,

my dad is going
to lose his mind.

I can't wait to see
the look on his face.

- Please welcome Penn's
very own Moxie Jillette.

Do I say sorry or surprise?

- Aren't you in Scotland?

I never left.

- You never left?
- No.

- You never went to Scotland?
- No.

- Are you going to Edinburgh?
- Yes.

- When?
- After this.

- Well, we've already
been fooled, haven't we?

I thought you were in Edinburgh.

- I thought I wasn't going
to see you for weeks.

- Yeah, my camera
was never broken.

- So all the FaceTimes...

- Were fake.
- To Scotland...

My goodness gracious.

- All the photos were fake.

- All the photos of
Edinburgh were fake?

- Yep.

- And you're going
to do a trick?

- Yeah.
- OK.

Let me just
do this for you.

Ladies and gentlemen,
give it up for Moxie Jillette!

- So you know,
the "Fool Us" team

specifically wanted me to try
and test our DNA, you know?

Because I have
a unique advantage

that I don't think any other
magicians on this show have.

Not only DNA connected, but
you built my crib growing up.

And you taught me magic
growing up.

You didn't, and...

And so I wanted to test
our DNA connection.

So will you do me a favor
and pick odd or even.

- Odd.
- Odd.

Do me a favor.

Do not pick the number 37,
but you're going

to pick a number 1 through 52.

You're going to do that same,
but with even.

Got it?

So what I want to show you
is that the only thing

I've changed about this deck

is that there's numbers
on the back.

You can see there's 9, 4, 7, 12,

15, 48, et cetera, et cetera.

You can see all that.

And you can also see that
they're all different.

See that queen of clubs,
king of clubs, jack of clubs,

you know?
- Yeah.

- Right there.
So do you have your number?

Do not say it out loud.
- OK.

Don't say it out loud, but...
- Don't say it out loud.

- I pick an odd number
that isn't 37.

- Not 37 because
that's my number.

- OK. OK. OK.
- You got that?

- Yes, I do.
- Perfect.

I'm going to say... you said odd.

I'm going to say that yours
is 2 of spades.

But you know, that'll make
sense in just a second.

- OK.
- What is your number?

- 7.
- 7.

Perfect.

Let's find 7 in here.

There is 7 right there.

You see that right there.

There's your 7.

And there is your 2 of spades
right there.

Now...

Teller.

- Do not say...

Do not put your hands up
for your number

just yet.

Just yours is going to be...

This one's a little harder.

We're not DNA connected,

but according to conspiracy
theorists, maybe.

Yours is going to be
9 of diamonds, I want to say.

So what is your number?
Go ahead and...

2? 22?
Perfect.

Let's find 22 in here.

Tell me if you see it
because I'm blind.

Let's see, 22.

Of course,
we're filling blank space.

There we go.

There is your 22 right there.

You see that?

And there is your 9 of diamonds.

But...

Teller.

Teller, don't be offended.

I want to test one more thing
with our DNA.

Is that OK?
- OK.

Just pick any card you want.
Any card you want.

Do not say it out loud just yet.

What card is that?

- 6 of diamonds.
- 6 of diamonds.

Let's find the 6 of diamonds
in here right now.

There's your 6 of diamonds.

And do you remember what
the number I told you was?

That my number was?
- 37.

- It was 37?
- Yeah.

- It was 37?

- Right there?

- Moxie Jillette, everyone.

Wow!

My goodness.

That was amazing.

I got to say, as a mother,

you might be in
a little bit of trouble.

I mean, I'm told magicians
tend to tell a lie or two.

So does that, like, give you
a little bit of freedom?

- I think so, yeah.

I mean, I felt really
guilty about doing this

because this is like
two months in the working.

Especially these last two weeks,

I've had to turn
my location off.

I had to lie to him during
video calls and voice calls.

He was really pissed when I
told him my camera was broken,

and he was going to
have to pay for it.

My gosh.

I want to ask you what it
was like sort of growing up.

I mean, was it
a series of magic tricks?

- I watched a woman get
cut in half when I was six.

- I mean,
how do you process that?

- How do you deal with that?

- You don't.

You shove it down
somewhere deep inside you.

- Are you hearing that, Dad?

- He doesn't care.

- Did your mom give you any
advice going into this show?

- Poke fun at him.

Make him laugh.

Surprise him.

- What would it mean to you

if you fooled your dad
and Teller?

- I would never
stop talking about...

- Of course.

I think that's enough time,
don't you, Mox?

- Yes, I think so.

- All right, Penn and Teller.

My goodness,
Moxie Jillette.

Well, you're kind of
cheating because

I'm still so flipped out
that you're not in Edinburgh.

And I get to see you before
then that I can't even think.

So it's really all on Teller.

But of course, you already know

that it's all on Teller anyway.

And I also need to say that,
as you know,

I've been proud of you
before you were born.

And this doesn't
change anything.

But I'm very proud of you.

What a great performance.
- Thank you.

- Just so great.

But I know you would not
want us to go easy on you.

Never.

- So we're going
to play the game.

Now the first
two tricks you did,

which were really one trick,

we think you kept talking
about genetics there.

And there's something that's
just not genetically coded

in both of us,

which is you are
a lot thinner than I am.

A lot thinner than I am.
Yeah.

So we kind of think

that because you're thinner,

we have kind of an idea how
those first tricks were done.

Now the second one,

the 37,

which you had in your T-shirt
from the beginning, right?

And we didn't even notice
because we were so...

Is your mother in Edinburgh?

Yes.

She's been there
for three weeks.

- So me seeing...

- We never went to
Saint-Tropez, either.

- There was never
a Saint-Tropez trip?

- Never.
- No...

- Lies, lies.
- So you never left?

And she's been... so that's why

she would FaceTime me
from Edinburgh

and say I'm not with Moxie.

She's in her room now.

That's why, right?

- Yep.

- Are you going to get
in trouble for this?

- Yes.

Well...

- No?

- You haven't begun
to get in trouble yet

because we're going to go
to that next...

And the next trick is where
it gets really tricky

because it's going
to be really, really hard

to convince people
for the rest of our lives

that you actually fooled us.

My God.

- I'm going to rub it
in your face.

- I love it.
Moxie fooled her dad.

- You really did it.

You got up...

- You're so good.
So good.

Moxie Jillette, everyone.

My goodness,
it looks like there's

a new headlining magician at
the Jillette house everyone.

And their name isn't Penn.

I don't think anything could
possibly fool Penn and Teller

more than this last act.

But we'll try
right after this break.

- Welcome back to "Fool Us",

where Penn and Teller
were just fooled.

Let's see if they can get back
on track with this magician.

- I'm Daxien the Illusionist
from Taiwan.

Magic is different
in our culture.

Audiences interrupt
all the time.

Let me see that.
How did you do that?

It's like a never-ending exam.

To become a good magician,

I had to be
a good student again.

But studying was not enough.

I needed to perform a lot.

I set a goal to do
100 charity shows in one year,

mainly for old people.

If I can get this
audience to respond,

this was a very good test.

My parents sometime worry about

my choosing magic as a career.

But they can see
I'm getting an audience.

Now my dad even helps me
build some illusions.

I guess I have passed
their test too.

Now it's time to take
the toughest test of all,

trying to fool Penn and Teller.

- Coming to us from Taipei,
Daxien the Illusionist.

- Hello, everyone.

And hi,
Mr. Penn and Mr. Teller.

I'm Daxien.

And the trick I'm about to do
have a long history.

In Chinese, we call it...

Using three small ba*ls
and two bowls

and my very fast hand.

So open your eyes.

Watch carefully.

Are you guys ready?

- Yeah!
- Yes?

OK.
I'm ready too.

Watch.

I cover this and take one here.

And I cover another one
and take this one.

Am I too quick?

I should ask Mr. Teller,
how many ba*ls here?

- One.
- Really?

Go!

Now it's two.

OK. OK.

Remember, we still
got one ball here.

And I cover this one
and said, go!

See nothing here is called...

Thank you.

OK, maybe I'm doing too fast.

So this time,
I'll do it slow motion.

All right?

OK.

1, 2, 3.

Cover.

Nothing here.

And I'll take this one,
put there.

And take this one
and cover this.

Take this and go, go.

How many they're in there?

I should ask Mr. Penn,
how many there?

- One.

- Go!

And now?

- Two. One. Zero.

- OK. Open.

You see?
There's nothing here.

I think I already fooled you.

OK, if you...

If you say this is how many,
no matter I cover and back.

You see nothing here
because they are all gone.

Thank you.

Hold on.
Hold on.

I think to
the Penn and Teller fool me,

this big stage like this,
I couldn't do this small trick.

So instead, I prepare...

much more bigger stuff.

Two pot covers and

three chickens eggs.

- I think now will be a better
trick if I can do this.

This is much more difficult.
So if I can do this,

could you applause
much more louder?

Yes.

Yes.
OK.

I'll do it.

Cover the cover.

Take the chicken and put here.

And then cover this one.

And take this one, say, go!

You see now it's two.

Now it's two.

And still one over there.

Go, nothing here.

Three chicken...

Wow!

Amazing.

My hand really fast.

But like I said, maybe
too fast, you couldn't see.

So this time very clearly.

Nothing.

Cover.

How many there?

Are you sure?

- No.
- No?

- No.
- OK.

Yeah, yeah,
it's still one there.

Yeah, you're right.

Cover.

And cover.

So now it's one and one, right?

- Right.
- Watch carefully.

One and one.
Watch the middle.

I think we should put in here.

How many there and there?

- None.
- None here?

- Yeah.
- And there?

- Three.
- Go, go!

You see? One left.

And you see I cover, go again.

Still one here.
I cover.

All go.
Nothing here.

Go, go, go, you see?
Nothing here.

They're all...

Thank you.

You know, these three chicken

is not only a performance tool,

but also the gift
I want to give you, Penn.

And this one is for Teller.

And this one is for you.

But I got only one chicken eggs.

So maybe I got
a better way to do this

just like
I cover the chicken like...

Chicken eggs like this.

And then do a magical gesture.

Now it turns into

a live, real chicken.

Hello.

Big round of applause
for Dark Angel.

- Daxien, everyone.

- Thank you.
Thank you.

That was so much fun.

It was so fun to see their
surprise and awe and laughter.

- Actually,
they are really tough.

- They are.

- They know a lot of things.

- What do you think they know
about this trick?

Of course, they know
about cups and ba*ls,

but maybe
they don't know about...

- What is that?

- I just performed that.
- That's what you call it.

- Is that what you call
this trick?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

In Chinese, we call it...

- Can you translate that?

- Maybe it's like
cups and ba*ls Chinese version.

If...

- So funny.

So let's see if your...

Fooled Penn and Teller.

- Nicely said.

Daxien, if you'd asked us
before the show

if we wanted to see
the cups and ba*ls,

if you'd asked us five years ago

if we wanted to ever see
the cups and ball,

if you'd asked us 15 years ago,

do you ever want to see
the cups and ba*ls again?

As long as you live,
we would have answered no.

We did not want to see
the cups and ba*ls.

But you and your chicken
have just done

the greatest cups and ba*ls
we've ever seen.

It's just wonderful.
It looks...

It looks like
a whole different trick.

It's a whole different vibe.

And the character
and the way you carry yourself

is just wonderful.

And we just loved it.
You're just wonderful.

And after all is said and done
in terms of fooling us,

it's the cups and ba*ls.

But it's the best cups
and ba*ls you've ever seen.

But we don't think
you fooled us.

- OK.
- OK.

- Thank you.
- Great.

- Well, you didn't fool them,
but they sure enjoyed it.

And you did surprise them.

And we really
enjoyed that so much.

Thank you.
- Thank you all.

- Daxien, everyone.

You'll see Penn and Teller
perform later.

Up next, you'll see them
try to bust more magicians

when "Fool Us" returns.

- Welcome back, everyone.

Next up, we've got
a new magical duo

to take on our magical duo.

Let's meet them right now.

- They don't write
a lot of love stories

where the man plays hard to get.

But when I saw Eric,
I just knew.

- When I saw Elizabeth,
I knew she knew.

And it frightened me to death.

- We were rival magicians in LA.

- Then we started
doing magic together.

- And sparks flew.

My sparks.

- It was a professional context.

I didn't want to
exploit the situation.

- He respected me, which
made me love him even more.

It was t*rture.

I even went on an ocean
cruise to forget him.

And while I was gone...

- I missed her.
A lot.

And that's when I knew.

- It's so romantic.

- We wanted to
fool this audience

to be the first to know

if we fool Penn and Teller
tonight, we're getting married.

- And if we don't,
we're breaking up.

- What?

- And I don't think
Penn and Teller want that

on their conscience.

Do you, boys?

- These two magicians
are in love.

And you're about to
fall in love with them too.

Please welcome
The Cosmic Romantics.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
Elizabeth here

is a practitioner of
the ancient magical art

known as ukulele ESP.

So to demonstrate
Elizabeth's quirky

but also
super mysterious abilities,

she is going to begin
by blindfolding herself.

You can all say goodbye
to Elizabeth for now, folks.

She's not going far.

Now normally when we tap into
Elizabeth's psychic energies,

we use everyday objects like
a hairbrush or some coins.

But tonight, I've brought along
a special surprise object.

- Wait, a surprise object?

- That's right, Elizabeth.

Do the words "Go Falcons"
mean anything to you?

- Go Falcons?
No.

- Is that the bookmark to my...
- Middle school diary?

- That's exactly what it is,
Elizabeth.

All 120 pages of heartbreak
right here at my fingertips.

Now to help me with this,
Penn and Teller...

- No, no, no, no,
not Penn and Teller.

The diary clearly reads
"No Boyz Allowed."

Brooke, I trust you.

- Sorry, guys.
So Brooke, if you'd be so kind.

- I would love to.
- Thank God.

- Thank you.

- Hey, Brooke.

I'm going to hand you
that diary.

Go ahead and flip
through the pages.

I just want you to check
and make sure...

- Sure... seems very intrusive.
- You can. I can't.

- OK.
- Flip through them.

Make sure all the dates
are different,

all the little details on
every page are different.

- OK.

- It's mostly just about boys
and sad songs she wrote.

All the pages look
different, yes?

- They do.

- Flip to any page
with a picture on it,

if you wouldn't mind.

- OK.
- She has a...

- With a picture?
- Yeah.

And Brooke, when you get
to a drawing that you like,

I want you to go ahead
and look at the picture...

- OK.
- And really concentrate on it.

In fact, trace the outline
of it with your finger,

and we will connect.

OK.

- I got it.
- Got it?

- Brooke, is that correct?
- I am.

Wow.

- That's the night sky...
- We got a...

- Yes, it is.

- That is adorable.

I'll tell you what, this time,

I'm just going to riffle
through the pages

of the diary with her old
middle school bookmark.

And Brooke, I'm going
to go through like that.

And whenever you want,
go ahead and call out "stop."

- Stop.
- Right there?

- Yes.

- Do you see the words
"dear diary" on that page?

- I do.

- Please hold the diary.

You can even read through
some of the details

to yourself, though.

Don't say anything out loud.

- Brooke, I'm sensing that
there are some song lyrics

on that entry.

I'm going to attempt
to sing them.

I hate you!

Yeah, I hate you!

- Were all those
details correct?

- I kind of want to read on.

Me too.

- That's amazing.
- Let's see.

Yeah,
"you brought your brother,"

the "I hate yous" with
exclamation points.

- He was so mean.

- You know what, though?

I think I want to embarrass
Elizabeth one last time.

- This feels just like
middle school, but go ahead.

- This time, Brooke,
I'm just going to peel back

one page just enough for you to
see the date and nothing else.

- OK.

- So I'm going to go ahead
and riffle through again.

Whenever you want
to call out "stop."

- Stop.
- Right there?

I'm going to mark the page
where you stop me

with Elizabeth's bookmark.

And I'm going to look away.

Go ahead and memorize
the date on that page.

Please commit it to memory.
- OK.

- You got it?
- I got it.

- And here Brooke,
I'll even give you the diary.

Hold on to that.

I'm not going to touch it
for the rest of this routine.

OK.

- I think I have it, maybe.

Was it April Fool's Day?

- Was it April 1?

- No.
- No.

Well, look, ukulele ESP
is not a perfect science.

No one ever said it was.
- OK.

- That's a good idea.

- I can't find it.

I mean, it should be
right here, but it's not.

- Well, it looks like a page has

been ripped out right there
in the middle of the diary.

Hold on to that
just like that for me.

Wait, Elizabeth,
what happened to the music?

- I don't know.
It's sounding a little strange.

- I don't remember you
having a pick.

- I didn't.

I do.
- No way.

- Yes way.
- No way.

- Brooke, was the date that
you stopped at December 13?

- Yes, it was.
- Yeah!

- Wow, what...
- Just to confirm...

- I mean...

- You're kind of like
the eyes and ears

of the audience there.

Can you confirm that
it's the exact page

that was ripped out right there?

- December 13.
That is exactly it.

- Of course it is, because...

My gosh.

The Cosmic Romantics, everyone.

Amazing.

My gosh,

you are the most fun couple
that I've met in a long time.

- Thanks, Brooke.
- Thank you.

- Do you come from
magical families?

- Yeah, my dad was
a magician in Chicago.

My uncle was a gambler,
which is like, magic adjacent.

- I recently found out
that my abuelito,

my great grandfather,

was a magician
in the 1930s in Honduras.

- Wow.

And are one of you in charge?

- I'm afraid to even
answer that question.

- Good answer.

- I actually made
a voodoo doll of him,

so I am in charge.

He has no free will.

Made of marshmallow.

- Did you use the voodoo doll

to make him
fall in love with you?

- Yes.
- You did?

- Yes.
- She admits it?

- Yeah.

- OK, Cosmic Romantics,

let's see if you fooled Penn
and Teller with the ukulele.

Boys.

- Well, you know,
the bigger picture,

the bigger game
outside of the game,

you already won because I am
such a freak for ukuleles.

We just loved it.
It's a great routine.

So sweet.
So funny.

And I really want to just say

that you won
because of the ukulele,

but that would make
nobody feel good.

So I want to ask you
one question.

It's Elizabeth, right?
- Yeah.

- Elizabeth, I'm not
going to talk to the guy.

I don't trust him
with his sneaky mustache.

- Fair enough. Fair enough.

- I'm just going to
ask you this directly.

And you tell me the answer,
and you tell me the truth, OK?

- OK.

- If I were to look
at that book,

are the pictures all different,

but could be described with
maybe the same description?

- So yes,
they are all different.

And no, they cannot all
be described with the same...

- They can't be described like...

- Not all of them.

- Like, one's a moon
and one's stars.

- No.
- And one's cloudy at night.

No, no.

And you're telling me the truth?

- I'm telling you the truth.
- OK, damn it.

You fooled us.

- Hey, here it comes.

Whoo.

The Cosmic Romantics.

Truly amazing.

Aww.

- Nicely done.

- Everyone is
celebrating them tonight.

And that was a swing
and a miss for our boys.

What a grand slam
for the foolers.

We've got more magicians
bringing the heat

when "Fool Us" returns.

- Welcome back.

It's been a tough night
for Penn and Teller.

So far, two magicians have
already fooled the boys.

And we are not done yet.

Let's meet our third
potential fooler.

- This is my dad.

He doesn't fool me.

- Kids can be way harder
to fool than grown-ups.

So they're the perfect
training partner.

- In more ways than one.

Card!

Coin!

That worked perfectly.

- It all started at
a birthday party.

I was three or four.

My folks surprised me
with a magic show

that changed my life.

I still remember
some of the tricks.

My best friend and I
would create magic shows

and advertise them
in the newspaper.

The money we made
went directly back

into buying more magic tricks.

Balancing family life with a
career in magic is difficult.

I feel super blessed to have
such a supportive family.

- Penn and Teller,

I love my daddy.

And I hope you love him too.

- Give it up for big apple
baffler, David Schwartz.

- Thank you.

Thank you.

Probably the question
I get asked most often

is why did I become a magician?

To be honest, I don't know.

But every once in a while,
I get a hint as to the answer.

Like the first time I did
magic for my daughter Sarah,

she was just four years old.

So I used cookies, obviously.

It was an epic performance,
if I do say so myself.

Taking something delicious.

And turning it
into something magical.

But the cookie didn't
just disappear.

It went up my sleeve across
my shirt down my pant leg

and ended up...

inside my shoe.

Brooke, souvenir?

- Sure.

- No one should eat that.

- Thanks.
Thanks.

- But Sarah loved it.

There were cookies for her
and soda for me.

I know what you're thinking.

That can't be a
real can of soda.

And that's what my
daughter thought.

But it is.

That looks delicious.

Most importantly, doing some
magic for my daughter that day

was a memory we shared together.

Because the older I get,
the more I realize

that moments like
that can be pretty fleeting.

Sometimes, you've just got
to stop and take it all in.

Because you can't
go back in time.

But what if we could?

What if you could
go back in time,

back in time before
the can was crushed.

Back in time before
the can was opened.

But if we really
went back in time,

then the glass would be?

And the can would be...

Full!

- Yes way.

A toast to cookies and soda

and a little bit of magic.

- David Schwartz, everyone.

Thank you.

- So you like doing magic
with everyday objects?

- Absolutely.

- Does your daughter
eat the cookies

or eat your props when
you're at home practicing?

Sometimes.

My daughter was actually
the first person

to ever see this trick.

And what kind
of feedback do you...

Because you know children
don't lie, right?

- No, definitely not.

- They'll give you
real feedback.

- They definitely do.

And it's nice they
don't really have

like, the politeness filter.

- Yeah, Which we like.

- Exactly.

- And how much pressure
is it to have to perform,

not just for all of us,
but for Mr. P and T?

- So I actually saw
Penn and Teller

when I was 12 on Broadway.

And they signed a T-shirt,
and I still have it.

So I saw them in Las Vegas.

I saw them in New York
when I was older.

And now I'm here
on Penn and Teller's stage.

It's incredible to perform
for an audience of this size.

And I'm going to remember it
for the rest of my life.

- Right.
Well, we are ready.

Let's see if your world of magic

can stump their world of magic.

Are you ready, boys?

- I think we are, David.

You know, so many magicians
come out here and just

do trick after trick after
trick with no sense,

no build, no story.

And this was just simple
and right to the point.

A nice loop that
goes right around.

You can follow it.

And just one idea and
really simple props.

We love the table.

We love the bag.

It's all there for a reason.

And we love that.

We noticed you have the
same shoe size as Mac King.

Teller noticed you drink
the same soda as David Blaine.

We noticed that about you and
immediately felt close to you

because of that.

We just loved the whole thing

and being done
for your daughter.

The vanish of the liquid
was a real good surprise.

And we loved it when
it's out in plain sight.

I mean, behind you, but I mean,

no schmatta over it
and nothing like that.

It was really, really,
really beautiful.

And we liked the whole thing.

And I think I said
a couple of things in there

pretty obviously.

That means that
you didn't fool us.

- It makes no sense to me.
Does that...

- I got it, yeah.

- Yeah?

- I did not fool you,
but it's hard to be

disappointed when
you get to perform

on your favorite magic show.

- Thank you so much.
- So thank you for having me.

- We loved having you.
David Schwartz, everyone.

It's a pleasure.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

I'm going to tell you a secret
about Penn and Teller.

They're performing next,
so stick around.

- Welcome back to "Fool Us."

Closing out the show tonight
are Penn and Teller

with a warning
about how dangerous

dried vegetables can be.

Give it up for another tasty
trick from Penn and Teller.

- So Brooke, now this is
your first season with us.

We wanted to give you
a souvenir.

So we're going to
create the souvenir

right in front of you.

We have here a bean.

And if you would just sign
that bean with your initials.

Just sign the bean
with your initials.

Already, that makes it
so valuable.

Has "BB" on it.

And that's already a
valuable, valuable souvenir.

We're going to make it
more valuable, Brooke.

Because I have here
a wrist rocket.

And I'm going to fire it
in this wrist rocket

perfectly accurately
right in front of you.

And then that's really
worth something.

Your initials on here fired by
a wrist rocket or a slingshot,

whatever you call it.

And fire.

Of course,
with your initials on here,

it's kind of a BB g*n, isn't it?

But there we go.

We're going to just
fire that into that cup.

And you'll be able to keep it

and it'll be a little souvenir.

You can say this was actually
used on "Fool Us," OK?

- Good.
- I'll get back here.

I'm going to fire it
into that cup.

You know,
you're leaning back like that,

makes me think
that's going to be

going right by your eye level.

We have some safety glasses.

- Am I supposed to trust you
already? We just started.

- I should have thought of that.

When you lean back,
you got me scared.

We want you to see it
fly right by you.

You won't be able to see
the initials because

it's a very fast moving legume.

But you'll be able
to see the bean go by.

- Do I need to be
worried about that?

- And let's just do this.
Now you feel more comfortable.

It's going to be... you'll be
able to see it go right...

Boy, I'm worried about...

Can we have the...
Thank you, Kurt.

We're just going to put
this hard hat on you

so that you're
a little bit safer as...

- I didn't sign up for this.

No, did not sign up for this.

- Even in that, you look good.
- Thanks.

- You really do.
OK, here we go.

Right into that.
Going to watch it go.

I'll count to three
so you can see it go by, OK?

And here we go.
And here we go.

And 1...

- Teller, that's right.

I want it... can move it
a little bit downstage?

That way?

I just wanted you
to feel safer there

as it zooms by you there.
- Thanks a lot.

- But here we go.

You'll see that right there
in the cup we loaded up there.

And 1... move it a little
bit further, Teller.

Yeah, because that's...
It's going so fast.

With that bean goes by, it's
going like 40 miles an hour.

That could really injure you.

So you want to keep it out
there so she's safe there.

And Brooke,
is that your eye level?

That's a little lower
than your...

Raise up so you can
see it go by.

Just look straight up.
Yeah, right there.

Because I don't want her
to have any sort of danger

at all.

A little higher.

That's right at your eye level.

That's perfect.

But watch it go by, Brooke.
It'll go by fast.

And it'll be such
a good souvenir.

Here we go.

And 1, 2, 3!

- Right.
Give me the cup, Teller.

It should be right in the cup.

Teller, give me the...
Give me the cup, Teller.

I think it's right...
Right... yeah.

Right there in the
bottom of the cup.

There's a hole
in the bottom.

It's a hole in the
bottom of the...

There it is
right there, Brooke.

Is that... is that your
initials there, Brooke?

Is that the actual one
you signed?

- Yeah, that's the one.

- You had the second
"B" as a little B?

Yeah, that's the one you signed.

- That's the one.
- Exactly there, Brooke.

And you can have that
as a souvenir.

Your initials, Teller's blood,

and my genius
and perfect accuracy.

You can have that forever.

My goodness.

We're going to give Teller
time to recover.

And then all of us will be
ready to go the next time

that "Fool Us" returns.

Good night,
everyone in Las Vegas.
