Okay, I have got the three of clubs on top of the deck and my friend is about to arrive. Hello my friend, want to see a card trick? No this is a good one.
[Laughing]
Have a seat here.
First make sure they have not seen this show. Do you like Penn and Teller on channel 4? Good. Now, just ask him to name a number between five and ten. Please. Seven. Okay, as long he did not know I show him how to count down seven with the three of clubs on top, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, look at that card, and then put it in the deck.
Okay, my friend, go ahead. I know he is going to pick the three of clubs but I want him to remember it. Stare at that card and memorize it. Okay? Put it back on the deck. Now I am going to fail on purpose. Let us just see, is this your card? Let him gloat a little bit. You are going to win the war, let him win the battle. I guess I am kind of a loser, huh.
Well my friend, let us do something else fun. Let us watch TV. I turn on the video tape recorder at the same time. Financial news, the stocks exchange had a quiet day with the financial times index up with a couple of points. On the foreign exchanges today, the pound rose to its highest point this year against the dollar. It also finished up on today against the Franc, the Mark and this is Justin, is this your card?
[Laughing and Applauding].
Pretty good huh my friend? Okay, you know how to force a card, all you need now is that piece of video tape and we are going to run it for you now if you just put your fingers on the button so Eric can record it in five seconds, four, three, two, one, go; we guard.

Meanwhile in Downing Street, the Prime Minister spoke out against the rising violence on late night television shows. Both terrestrial and satellite TV recorded a 10% year on year rise in incidence on a violent nature.
That is it, keep the video tape ready. Keep your three of clubs on top. You can do an amazing trick and then maybe your friends will like you more and magicians will like us less. Speaking of magic, let us produce some animals.
