know how to give it to her. Can you show me to me? I thought you were going to

give it to me. I have another one for you, too. Okay, great. Yeah. Well, if I

There is a question that is the most important question when you're a

And that question is, who's the assistant?

You have to have a cute blonde assistant.

Here's mine right now. MJ Boy, there's that cute blonde assistant for me, boy.

Hi, good boy.

This is MJ.

Hi, MJ Boy.

You're doing great.

Good boy.

All right. Now let's see. Come on over here.

Hi. How are you?

round of applause. Let's go.

You can pet him. He's very, very soft, okay?

Now, he is an artist, and he can do celebrity portraits. So, Manuela, I have

bunch of celebrities here, and you're going to decide which portrait MJ is

to do. We have a bunch of superheroes and celebrities here, okay? So, we have

Black Panther.

We have Vision.

We have Beyonce.

Superheroes, right?

Okay, so I'm going to go like this. Manuela, anytime you want, you say stop.

When you say stop, you're going to stop me at a celebrity or a superhero, and

that's the number one MJ does.

Okay? All right? Anytime you want. Say stop.

Stop. Stop. Right there. Who'd you get?

Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee! Yes!

No, no, no.

MJ can't do Bruce Lee. Say stop again.

Stop. Stop. Who'd you get?

Ant -Man. Ant -Man! Yes!

Here's the thing.

He can't do Ant -Man either.

What do you want to do?

We're going to go Bruce. We'll go Bruce. We'll go Bruce. Okay. We'll go Bruce.

Okay. Bruce Lee. Here it is. And this is his canvas. And MJ Boy, are you ready?

On your go. Nice and loud.

Good boy.

MG, you did it. You did it. We have a little Bruce Lee for you. Give it up for

my brother.

MG, you did it.

But professional magic has presented the title of best in the world to this

prestigious performer.

Please give a very warm welcome to Shoot Ogawa.

I prepared something here.

It's a crazy idea, but simple idea. I use silverware and also coins.

So I name it composition for spoon and coin.

Yeah, I made up.

I have a spoon here, but I use, you know, I don't have a coin so far, okay?

I use some of interesting things.

I use Japanese power.

Watch.

It works.

I know it's strange, right? I have a ball part, and also I have like a kind

handle. It's like a magic wand.

So I just need one coin.

Watch.

Okay.

You like it.

But if you don't care, it's nothing.

That's the idea.

How about this?

I tried again.

I have a coin here.

And also I use a handle here. Okay.

So I use Japanese power again.

Just an idea.

Now it's two pieces.

Can you see that?

Okay, how about this? I use just a... I know, it's crazy, right?

Now I have one, two, three coins in my hand. Okay? It's very, very simple.

One coin is enough to do many things. Watch.

It's juggling.

It's a little bit magical.

It's a little faster.

Yeah, I like you. Okay, I'll do this.

Now it looks like coin's gone and completely gone.

Okay, I'm working really hard, though, just in case.

Okay.

I said I share the magic, so you can see from behind me. Lucky you, you're going

to be everything.

When I do this, looks like coin's gone, but it's really gone, looks like, right?

But it's still here.

Thank you for one person.

I tried again. Looks like coins gone like this way. So sometimes people think

it's there, but actually really gone. It's in the air.

Or maybe it's in air, but I will move very slow. I catch the coin in air like

this way.

Just like that.

So what I know, it's maybe just an illusion. It's nothing. So that's

the idea.

So now I'm going to use one more coin because one more coin left on the table.

Okay, so this is the idea.

This is just a slight of hand.

It's just a... You like it? Okay.

I use this coin here. So I show the camera.

Okay, front.

How about this? When I do this, some people think the coin is gone.

But it's still here. You see it?

Okay. Ah, yeah. Ah, okay.

You remember?

But also I have one more coin here, like this way. So two coins here.

So yeah, as you remember.

Oh, how about this? Because, you know, you remember that I had three coins,

right? So I have three.

So one, two, three.

But how about this?

I shake it. You can hear sound, yeah?

Now it's become louder.

So now you see.

You see.

Just a coin.

I mean, you know, sleep up, everything's simple, right? So just a coin.

But, you know, if you think like this way, you remember that it was not a

As you remember, it was a part of a spoon.

And I expand the edge of the coin so you can see it a little bit longer like

this. So it is a coin.

So these are components of a spoon coin.

Okay,

I will do it for you a little bit more.

Mini coin here. That's so good. Okay. So I have a mini coin like this way. So

how about this? I take this and just do that. Mini coin dropped at the cap.

Just take it.

Thank you very much.

enough. I don't know why the twirl was necessary.

Go ahead and wave goodbye to everybody.

There we go. I mean, hello. Hello. Okay.

Go ahead and get in there and you'll see that she fills the chamber from head to

toe. Do me a favor. I'm going to lift up the front like that. Hold on to the

cane and we're going to lower the top all the way down and I'm going to lock

right here and also right here. Why? Because every so often Brandy likes to

But, you know, I always want to be like an overachiever. And I think the more

Everybody give it up for Brandy.

Now, I know, I know. Some of you are like, you know what? She's not even in

there. She's not even there. Maybe she snuck away.

Yeah, right?

I want you to see below it. I want you to see above it. We even have a camera

Very nice.

But you know what? You may still think that she's gone. Well, she's not here.

She's not here.

She's not here.

She's not here. She's not here. She's not here. She's not here. She's not

Not here. Give it up for no Brandy.

I got to be honest with you.

I'm lying. She actually is in the box. And I'm going to prove it right now.

Brandy, reach up and grab the cane.

Brandy, reach up and grab the cane.

Oh, man. All right.

Brandy, reach up and grab the $100 bill.

take rid of the blades. I'm going to have you just drop them there. I'm going

have you take that one. Let's take another one right over here.

Run right up there.

Excellent. Notice how each and every blade gradually leaves my fingers.

There we go. That one over there. And then let's not forget those two right

there. And we have these two. That's all 13 blades.

I'm going to open this up and I want you to give a rousing round of applause for
