  • -Dan White, it's so nice to see you, pal.

  • You look good. Where are you and how are you doing?

  • -I'm in New York City, on 28th Street.

  • I'm doing real well.

  • You know, with my wife and my daughter.

  • -How old is she now? Is she 2?

  • -She's 2. She's 2.

  • We've been sort of doing like what you've been doing,

  • some arts and crafts projects.

  • I've been drawing with her and doing some cool stuff

  • and working on magic tricks with her actually.

  • -Is there anything you can show us?

  • -Yeah, I'm going to show you something kind of cool.

  • Obviously I'm used to performing on the stage,

  • and this is kind of a different, you know, sort of stage space.

  • So I thought we'd kind of look at things

  • from a different perspective.

  • And I'll give you an example of that.

  • This water bottle right here.

  • If you look at it from a different perspective,

  • it's actually not a water bottle at all.

  • It's actually a piece of paper, stuck in Play-Doh.

  • -I was going to say something.

  • I was going to say, hey -- -Do-it-yourself magic.

  • But that's what I mean.

  • I think it's important right now since we are all at home to do

  • something that we normally would never do together.

  • I want to do something with everybody at home

  • at the very same time.

  • So, if you're at home and you want to try something

  • really cool, let's do it.

  • All you need is a calculator.

  • And I realize that the easiest way to get a calculator

  • is just by grabbing your phone.

  • So if you have your phone, Jimmy,

  • if you have your phone at home, grab your phone.

  • If you have a computer, use that,

  • or just an old-school calculator.

  • We just need a calculator.

  • And once you've got that,

  • I want you to open up your calculator app and hit zero.

  • So we're at zero.

  • I want you to think of a one-digit number,

  • a one-digit number.

  • Just think of it in your head. -Okay.

  • -Great, and without hitting clear, equal or zeros,

  • I want you to type that number into your phone.

  • Good, and there's no way I can know

  • what number you typed in, Jimmy.

  • There's no way I can know what anybody has typed in,

  • but we're going to make it more impossible.

  • I want you to hit the multiply button.

  • Good, and I want you to hit a different single-digit number.

  • -Mm-hmm.

  • -Good, and hit the multiply button again.

  • -Mm-hmm.

  • -And a different single-digit number.

  • And I want you to keep doing that.

  • Hit the multiply button and a different single-digit number,

  • multiply button and different single-digit number,

  • until you get a number in the millions.

  • And once you have that number in the millions,

  • I just want you to stop.

  • -Okay. -I'm going to do the same thing.

  • I'm going to wait for everybody to do that.

  • Once you have a number in the millions, just stop.

  • -Yes. I have it in the millions, yes.

  • -You got a number in the millions. Great.

  • Everybody at home should have a number in the millions.

  • There's no way I can know what number you've ended up on.

  • But we're going to make it a little bit easier to remember.

  • Jimmy and everybody at home, I want you to add up

  • all of the single-digit numbers in your total, in your head.

  • So add up all the single-digit numbers

  • in your head that are in your total.

  • -Gotcha.

  • -So now you should be thinking of a new number.

  • -Yes.

  • -Do you have that new number in your head?

  • -Yes.

  • -Good, everybody at home should be thinking of

  • a new number as well.

  • Jimmy, I've got a list here

  • of 100 different people, places, and things.

  • I want you to find your number on this list

  • and I want you to think of the thing

  • that corresponds with your number.

  • So, for instance, if you were thinking of 61,

  • you'd be thinking of churros right now.

  • Got it? -Yes.

  • -So now you should be thinking of a person, place, or thing.

  • Let's take this another step.

  • I want you to think of a country that most closely relates to

  • that person, place, or thing.

  • -Okay.

  • -You got it? -Yes.

  • -Good, let's take this one more step.

  • I want you to think of

  • a famous landmark or monument in that country,

  • something that everyone would recognize.

  • Famous landmark, monument, building.

  • -Sure.

  • -You got one? -Yes.

  • -Great, so now you and everybody at home are thinking of

  • a landmark or monument or building in your head.

  • -Yes.

  • -Jimmy, what if I told you that I've had a prediction

  • sitting here this entire time of what that landmark is?

  • -I wouldn't believe you. This is bizarre.

  • -Let's start with everybody at home.

  • I've had a prediction behind this poster on my wall.

  • -Oh, my gosh.

  • -But if we look at things a little bit differently,

  • you'll notice that this actually isn't a poster.

  • It's actually a little postcard.

  • And on the back of this postcard, I did a drawing.

  • That drawing is of the pyramids.

  • Jimmy, I know you can't hear this,

  • but everybody at home right now is thinking of the pyramids.

  • -Wow.

  • -But I can tell by your reaction, Jimmy,

  • you're not thinking of the pyramids.

  • Is that correct?

  • -I'm trying to act like I did,

  • but no, that's not what I'm thinking.

  • -Jimmy, what monument are you thinking of, what landmark?

  • -The Opera House?

  • -The Opera House. What opera house?

  • -The Sydney Opera House.

  • -In Australia?

  • -Yeah.

  • -Sydney Opera House.

  • Well, Jimmy, here's the thing.

  • That monument's been staring at you this entire time.

  • At the beginning, I mentioned that I've been doing

  • some drawings with my daughter, and I have.

  • They've been on this wall the entire time.

  • And these aren't...butterflies.

  • They're actually -- -Oh, my goodness!

  • Oh, my gosh! -The Sydney Opera House.

  • -See, that is what I'm talking about.

  • Oh, my gosh!

  • You are the greatest, Dan White.

  • I love you, man. Oh, my gosh!

  • -Thank you so much, Jimmy.

  • -Dan White, ladies and gentlemen.

  • You are the greatest. Thank you so much.

-Dan White, it's so nice to see you, pal.
