Hang on. I haven't done a trick yet.
I'm not a beggar. I'm a magician. Take this back.
This is not a begging scenario.
You can't give me that until you've seen a trick.
Thank you.
...to the power of 92.
And so, if we subtract that original 43,
we find that the number that you are now thinking of
is 3.75.
Am I right?
So, it's really good to meet you. Thanks so much for coming down.
And, with all your experience,
I'm sure you'll be familiar with everything in the act.
There are certain things I will not do.
I will not be chained, manacled, incarcerated.
I will not be cut, endangered, or imperilled.
I will not be silent. I will not be patronised.
And I will require equal billing.
And you were born in 1932?
No. I am 32.
You're 32?
That's right. I'm 32 years old.
Right. Well, that was brilliant. This is all brilliant.
There's just one thing I should... Not a big thing, I should probably mention
before we talk about the travel arrangements.
I did chop my last assistant's head off with a guillotine.
-Anyway... -Fuck!
Don't say anything now. Just have a think, and see what you...
Look, I don't think I can do this, okay?
Oh, Jesus. Not again.
And who is that? Who is texting you direct? I'm the agent. I'm the gatekeeper.
It's Dani. You know, the TV, coffee person.
That's funny.
Do you think that's funny? It doesn't mean anything.
Well, it relates to something I sent her.
-No. -Well, it does.
Well, let's not argue, Karl. Shall we?
And just remember, your little problem, since Carol.
You don't want to be writing any cheques you can't cash
with your cock.
I mean, people need magic. I mean, where's the magic in modern life?
Where's the mystery in a nail bar? Or a key cutting place?
I suppose that is a bit mysterious, how they actually cut the keys.
-But you know what I mean. -Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, totally.
So, that's why I've decided.
I've had a big think about it, and I've decided to
go to Jersey to enter the Shield with Harry.
What? You've... What the fuck? You've been thinking about it?
What kind of partnership do we have
if you go around thinking things privately in your own head?
Well, I told you as soon as I decided.
As soon as you... What? So, you decided five seconds ago?
Not exactly five seconds ago.
"Not exactly five seconds ago."
There you go. Now it's all coming out, isn't it?
So, when did you decide?
Was it on the bus?
Was it in Costa Coffee?
Well, I suppose I finally made up my mind about half an hour ago.
Half an hour!
And you've kept this little bombshell to yourself
for 30 whole minutes, have you, Karl?
You're quite the Secret Squirrel, aren't you?
Come on.
What do you want, Dad?
What do I want? I don't necessarily want something, Dwight.
I just came down to say, "Hi."
Also, there is something I do quite want.
You know that flower vanish? Could I have one?
You know, like, for free. On the house.
That's a 90-quid illusion, Dad, and you can only use it once.
Jesus. How many have you sold?
None. But, you know, I'm biding my time. Everyone that sees it freaks.
Right. Right. Yeah, well, I don't carry that kind of wad around with me.
-So, can I have one? -No.
-Give me one, or you're grounded. -No.
Oh, come on, son. Look, if I win, think how many you'll sell.
Everyone in magic is going to be chanting the name, Dwight White.
And not in the way those kids did at primary. Yeah?
In a nice, lucrative way.
Yeah?
Simon Small-cock. Wanting to know why I'm not at the shop.
You didn't ask for time off?
No. No, I thought if I asked him, he might say, "No."
Oh, right. Good point.
Anyway, screw him. I'm never going back there.
Linda, I...
Listen, there's every chance
that we'll have a promising professional future.
But you should know, magic's not what it used to be.
The gold rush is over. Daniels mined it all in the '80s.
Relax, Harry. Okay? It's not all about you.
All right? If it doesn't work out, I'll just find something else.
No, I'd probably do my book, or snorkel for cash in Malaysia.
I mean, this is just a ride. Yeah? I'm riding you.
Oh, okay. Great. Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.
