Penn: I need someone to pick a card here. How about you sir, in kind of a bluish Hawaiian shirt with a T-shirt under it? Tell who is going to riffle down the deck and while he was refilling sir will you just yell? Yo! or Stop! Or what ever single syllables appropriate for your country, okay, yell it.
Male: Yo!
Penn: Okay, there is the card we are going to use, there is the card you should remember and now tell them we will loose that card in the deck. Oh my goodness! I got a couple of a silver dollars here, worth about 65 pi, but they are still totally opaque, each of the silver dollar is displaced on its own strip of surgical adhesive tape. Nice move man, you got to laugh on the move, just get the elbow on, but that is okay. We will just start again; show them, on the monitors, we got a reaction.
It is me? Sir the card that you selected, do you know fell that is lost from the deck?
Male: Yes.
Penn: Only put this, another way sir, I do not have any money on me, right now but up stair, my dressing room, in my street clothes. I am sure I have at least a 200 pounds. Now seriously sir, not part of the show, no gag. Would you be willing right now to bet me 100 quid of your own money that Teller has no idea, whether that card is in the deck?
Male: No.
Penn: So, in other word sir this - is not going to surprise you very much, is it? So, you pretty much knew the instant that Teller did that horrendous move you knew the card was not loss from the deck. And, yet when I look you in the eye and asked you man-to-man, is the card loss in the deck it? You responded, yes. And, it was really was not until hard cold-cash came into the picture that you backed down at all, is that correct?
Now, lot of people wonder, why magic works. And, the answer is sitting right there in a blue shirt. That shirt is good and at the same time, okay? And then, I will cut it, oh I do not know, about half way into the deck. Then, I will give the card a shuffle and now that card is lost in the deck, right sir? Of course not, use your head! It goes better, how straight forward I pretend to bid you and how mean I pretend to be this man, here. My first allegiance to the world is to my partner. And, if he wants the card on top, the God damn card stays on top.
