Hi, guys. My name is Ben.
And to celebrate the release of Mitchell and Webb's new movie, Magicians,
I'm going to show you a little bit of card magic.
So here I have a regular deck of cards. No two cards are the same.
There are no gaffs, there are no hidden trapdoors, secrets,
smoke machines, anything like that.
What I'm going to do... I'm just going take a card from the middle.
I'll take this one, put it onto the top so we can all see it.
It is the nine of diamonds.
Now I'm going to make this a very special nine of diamonds
by writing the name of the film on it, which is, of course, Magicians.
So you know that any magic that's done with this card, is this card.
There is no other card like it in the world, and you're very privileged to see this card.
So I'm going to put this into the middle like that.
So it's not on the top, unless I click my fingers, in which case, it is on the top.
I'll show you again. Of course, I don't actually do any magic.
I just click my fingers and it just kind of happens. I don't know how.
Anyway, so it's not on the top. In fact, it's not second from the top, either.
Or third from the top. I'll click my fingers.
And it jumps back to the top. I'll just show you one more time.
I'll put it into the middle, okay? That's the Magicians card.
I'll put it further into the middle, give it a shuffle as well.
And by magic... Oh, I didn't do the click, sorry.
I'll try something else. If I just give it a little magical wave,
it changes to the nine of diamonds,
which is, of course, our special Magicians card.
Now I'm actually really going to lose this into the middle of the deck
and we're going to select another card. So if I just put this in the middle...
Okay? So that's the Magicians card.
Into the middle.
I'm just going to take the next card from the top, which is the ten of diamonds.
I'm going to sign the back of the ten of diamonds
with the name of two magicians that we all know and love,
which are, of course, Penn & Teller. I mean, Mitchell and Webb, sorry.
And so we've got our card, the ten of diamonds,
with "Mitchell and Webb" written on it.
Now I'm actually going to put this... I'm just going to take it to the middle.
Now what I've done there...
I'm just going to roll my thumb through
and I'm going to stop at the original card which is the nine of diamonds. Right there.
Now I'll tell you how I know it is the nine of diamonds.
It's because I'm a wizard.
Okay, if you don't believe me, I'll just show you.
We just go through and we have a look
for the Mitchell and Webb card, which is there.
It's actually right next to, of course, a card, because it's in the deck.
But what's really significant is the card is the nine of diamonds.
I'll show you again. That's the Mitchell and Webb card, the ten of diamonds.
It's next to the nine of diamonds, the Magicians card.
Now I'm sure you're yelling at your TV screens, going,
"Wow, that's amazing, Ben! Show us more!:
And of course every magic trick needs a killer ending.
So what I'm going to do, I'm just going to show you my killer ending.
I'll just give the Mitchell and Webb card a little rub.
And the Mitchell and Webb signature vanishes.
So you've got this ten of diamonds, which is completely blank.
And the next card, the nine of diamonds,
has got both signatures on it.
That was magic. I hope you enjoyed it. Enjoy the movie.
