00:00 I need to borrow a banknote.
00:07 Who has a banknote?
00:08 We're in Nevada, so a hundred will be fine.
00:11 No, just a dollar or whatever.
00:14 Banknote.
00:16 Do you mind to come here at the same time?
00:19 Okay, come here.
00:20 Right beside me.
00:21 What's your name?
00:22 Doug.
00:23 Doug.
00:24 Doug.
00:25 Doug.
00:26 For me, as a French guy, it sounds like a French guy.
00:29 It sounds like a Doug.
00:30 Woo-hoo.
00:31 It's not.
00:32 Doug what?
00:33 Doug Henning.
00:34 You're kidding me.
00:35 No.
00:36 Do you know the famous magician, Doug Henning?
00:37 Yeah.
00:38 Are you Doug Henning?
00:39 No.
00:40 You're not, but your real name is Doug Henning.
00:41 Are you doing any magic?
00:42 No.
00:43 Isn't it strange?
00:44 Is there anybody in the audience called Copperfield?
00:45 Oh, a ten dollar bill.
00:46 Ten.
00:57 Doug, I will do a trick.
01:01 It's going to remind you of first intimate experience.
01:04 No.
01:05 I mean, the trick won't last long.
01:08 And tomorrow you will tell everybody about it.
01:15 What's the name of this guy?
01:17 Hamilton.
01:18 I don't know.
01:19 Yeah.
01:20 Yeah?
01:21 Okay, just watch.
01:22 Hamilton.
01:23 Two things happening when I do this.
01:24 First, you might be not so proud of me.
01:25 And then, if you look at the bill, Hamilton is slapping.
01:26 I'm just kidding.

03:28 I want you to do a trick.
03:29 I want you to do a trick.
03:31 And if I can't fool you, I'll give you the bell.
03:34 Okay, just watch.
03:37 Fold the bell like this.
03:39 Now, one question, doc.
03:43 Where's the bell? Which hand?
03:45 That one or this one?
03:46 Make it fast, time is money.
03:47 Take your time.
03:48 That one.
03:51 That's how it works.
03:56 Magic's for real.
03:59 Kiwi.
04:00 Money.
04:05 Okay.
04:09 You don't wear underwear?
04:10 Okay, I need one knife.
04:13 Apart of Bob, is there anybody from New York?
04:16 No?
04:17 Okay, I'm just kidding.
04:19 Okay, just watch.
04:21 Kiwi.
04:23 Knife.
04:26 Okay.
04:27 You want to grab it?
04:33 Unfold and show the signature.
04:37 If it's not yours, you don't say a word.
04:40 Show the signature.
04:42 Thank you.
04:43 Oh my god!
04:44 Okay, now comes the bell and the kiwi.
05:05 That must be my favorite trick that I do for at least 20 years.
05:10 This is a trick that can be done on stage.
05:13 It can be done in close-up.
05:16 First of all, you need two kiwi because you will have to switch it, of course.
05:22 You need one knife.
05:24 And I will prepare the knife as to be in a pocket.
05:28 And if you're not wearing a jacket, you might be a kind of magician who's doing magic with a little vest.
05:35 You can do the same thing.
05:38 I will explain you the switch.
05:40 You keep the knife in this pocket.
05:42 So the knife is actually in my inside jacket pocket.
05:47 So I will prepare the kiwi.
05:49 This can be prepared in the afternoon if you perform at night.
05:54 If you do close-up, you can prepare like a dozen.
05:58 In close-up, I'm suggesting you to do the bell and the kiwi every three tables.
06:05 So you have the chance. This is something that you have to finish your performance with.
06:10 Let's see an example.
06:13 You show up yourself at the table.
06:16 You start by borrowing a bill.
06:19 So you have it signed.
06:21 And then you can do whatever you want to do with it.
06:25 You can do a bill switch or whatever.
06:27 And then you get rid of the bill.
06:29 You load it in the kiwi.
06:32 You do your whole performance, card trick, coin trick, rope trick, whatever.
06:36 And you finish with that trick.
06:37 Because you will have to leave with the kiwi which is cut.
06:40 You don't want to wait for an answer.
06:43 Can I see the kiwi?
06:44 Or no, you don't need that stuff.
06:46 So you start with a bill and you finish with the kiwi.
06:50 And then you say, "Thanks a lot."
06:52 And you go change the kiwi in your bag.
06:56 And on stage, this is very important.
07:00 You need to bring three kiwis if you're doing it on stage.
07:04 It never happened to me.
07:06 But just in case.
07:08 I mean if you give a kiwi to someone.
07:09 And this is a funny guy.
07:11 And you start eating the kiwi.
07:13 You say, "Yeah, I like kiwi."
07:15 The trick is done.
07:17 I mean you don't have any tricks.
07:19 So just in case, keep another kiwi in your suitcase.
07:22 And in this case, you can just grab the other kiwi and say,
07:28 "Well, I wanted to do a trick with it.
07:30 So just keep it for me."
07:31 So now, you can load it like I said in the afternoon.
07:35 Or before you show.
07:37 This is the way it's supposed to be done.
07:38 You will actually do a hole about halfway in the kiwi.
07:42 Like this.
07:45 A little hole that you can insert a bill inside.
07:52 And sometimes I do the same thing.
07:56 But instead of being a bill in a kiwi.
07:58 It's a ring in a kiwi.
08:00 I just borrow a ring.
08:02 And I do a couple tricks with a shoelace and a ring.
08:05 And I make the ring disappearing.
08:07 And at the end, the ring is inside the kiwi.
08:10 It's actually the same trick.
08:12 So this is what you need.
08:15 So you can leave it there for a minute or two.
08:19 And the juice will come out.
08:21 Actually, this will be in your pocket.
08:25 And it's going to be dry.
08:26 And the bill is still going to be wet.
08:30 Even if it's a couple hours after the preparation.
08:34 So, this kiwi that you're going to put the bill in.
08:39 Is in your pocket, free.
08:41 Okay?
08:43 And this is the one that you're going to give.
08:45 So you first borrow a bill.
08:48 And you have it signed.
08:50 It is very important because the trick is not the same at all.
08:54 You have it signed.
08:55 And I'm suggesting you to switch.
08:58 To exchange.
09:00 Because you want the situation to be as clear as possible.
09:05 He's holding the kiwi.
09:07 You have the bill.
09:09 You don't want them to remember the day after or later.
09:12 That, did he get the bill after or before?
09:16 No. You give the kiwi.
09:18 And then you have a bill.
09:20 And you can do a bill switch.
09:23 The trick with it.
09:24 You want to give them the time.
09:26 To see that you have a bill in your hand.
09:29 And he's having the kiwi.
09:31 And it becomes a running gag.
09:33 In my show I just wait.
09:35 And sometime I touch the guy and I say, "You see I have the kiwi."
09:37 Because you want them to realize that he has the kiwi.
09:41 And you have the bill.
09:43 So now.
09:45 What I've done on the video.
09:47 I didn't use a thumbtip.
09:49 I forgot to mention in the ball routine.
09:52 The only time that I break the risk.
09:54 Is when I vanish the bill without the thumbtip.
09:59 So I just fold the bill like this.
10:01 And when it's fold.
10:05 I ask him.
10:07 To follow the bill.
10:09 And which hand?
10:11 That one or this one?
10:13 So it makes sense to break the risk.
10:15 Because you say that one or this one.
10:19 And of course the bill is dropped in the sleeves.
10:22 So in slow motion.
10:24 It will be actually this move.
10:27 So I leave.
10:29 If you're left or right handed.
10:31 It doesn't matter.
10:33 Let's say it's in the right hand right now.
10:35 Here.
10:37 So I say that one or this one.
10:39 And the bill is actually dropped in the sleeves.
10:42 Once again.
10:44 You come very close to the sleeve when you do this move.
10:49 You see?
10:50 You can actually sleeve a thumbtip the same way.
10:55 So now here you relax.
10:57 You go in your pocket.
10:59 So the kiwi is in your pocket.
11:01 You just stick the bill inside the kiwi like this.
11:05 And the trick is done.
11:07 And then it will be like a shadow pass.
11:11 Whenever you're ready to do the trick.
11:14 You say you still have the kiwi.
11:17 And he's going to give you the kiwi.
11:18 So here it's a question of timing.
11:21 There's a switch involved.
11:23 But the switch is invisible if the timing is there.
11:27 So you start by going in this pocket.
11:30 And you mention at the same time that you're looking for a knife.
11:33 You come back.
11:35 And this kiwi has to stay in full view all the time.
11:38 So you come back from the pocket.
11:40 You say no I don't have it here.
11:42 Oh I think I have it here.
11:45 And you come back with the knife and the kiwi switched.
11:47 Okay.
11:49 Once again I will show you.
11:51 The knife is in your pocket.
11:53 And I will go in slow motion.
11:55 And when you go in this pocket you can feel the hole.
11:59 So you keep the hole in the back of course.
12:02 So once again.
12:04 You go in this pocket.
12:06 You say you got a knife.
12:08 No I got it here.
12:10 So here you come out of the pocket with this kiwi.
12:14 You just touch it like this.
12:17 And right away this one goes up front.
12:21 As you go in this pocket drop the kiwi and you come out with the knife.
12:27 And here there's an extra move.
12:30 Which I like because it gives me the opportunity to show both ends empty.
12:36 You say one kiwi.
12:38 One knife.
12:40 It's just a move like this.
12:43 And it looks like you're showing both sides of the kiwi.
12:45 And you cover the hole in the back.
12:48 So you say one kiwi and one knife.
12:52 And you cut it.
12:54 And it's very important you let him take the bill.
13:01 You ask him take the bill and unfold the bill.
13:04 And it's still going to be wet.
13:07 So there's the bill.
13:09 And the signature.
13:12 Let him take the bill and let him show the signature.
13:16 This is actually the bill and the kiwi.
13:18 And if you start doing that trick it will be for life.
13:22 Because it's a very, very, very good effect.
13:25 Thank you.
