[ Rapid beeping ]

The owner of this bowling alley was a huge fan of the show

and invited us to film there,

so we came up with a bunch of bowling-themed magic tricks.

Now, while scouting the location,

we saw there was a snack bar and added an extra shoot day

to take advantage.

Bowling-alley snack bar.

Man: Can I have two root beers?

You bet. Okay.

[ Ice crunches ]

All right.

How you doing today? Good, good.

How are you? [ Chuckling ]

Doing all right.

Uh, see if I get this thing to function again.

Yeah, okay.

They went wireless with the soda machine,

so it's like the thing's really finicky.

So...

Wireless with the soda machine?

Yeah, the soda machines are wireless.

They don't want to use that thing anymore.

So it's just wire--

They're just doing it with the wireless gun now.

But it's just...

Yeah, they're brand-new, but they don't really...

That's super cool. Let's see.

It's just giving me the orange. Sorry.

It depends, like, where you are in the room.

See, that's picking up the orange.

Whoa.

Yeah, that's so weird.

Where does it keep it?

Well, we pay for a server,

and then it just comes out of here.

Yeah, but, like, where does it --

where does it store the soda?

Oh, we don't store it --

We don't even store it in the building.

We just, like, store it offsite

so we don't have to be responsible for the, like --

The Bluetooth sensor goes --

What?!

Wait, but this is crazy.

Like, but where is the soda coming from?

You might not be able to tell,

but the soda gun was actually malfunctioning

during the trick.

First, it was spraying pure orange syrup,

then it barely sprays anything at all,

and it all forced me to explain away

the technical difficulties with even more BS.

...from an offsite where you're storing the root beer?

Yeah. By satellite?

Wait. There we go.

Yeah.

See, it's like -- Sometimes it's wimpy, depending on --

If a lot of people are using their phones in the area

or texting or something at the same time,

then it will, like, totally --

The signal's not really powerful.

When it's stronger -- And that looks really weak, too.

Is it -- What do you mean, "the signal"?

Is it zapping the stuff from the offsite into --

like, through signal waves?

One place keeps, like, the carbonated stuff,

and then the other place keeps the syrups.

So this should be two root beer.

There we go. Whoop. See?

It goes on, and then it goes off.

That's super cool, though.

Is it okay to drink?

Yeah, see there we -- Ah, see?

What is that?

That -- You know what it is?

The...

That's crazy.

You know what it i-- See, we don't even serve milk.

The ice-cream place down the block

gets their cream through the same server,

so it's like we keep...

[ Laughing ] What?

I keep connecting to the cream server.

Ugh.

Would you please tell Rick that the cream's picked up again?

Oh, this is annoying.

Yeah, I'm gonna have to repair the whole thing.

Yeah.

Well, I can just get a... Sprite, if you want.

Oh, yeah. You know what?

They steal our Wi-Fi.

So they're connecting to --

[ Laughs ] What?

Oh! Yeah.

Maybe I'm just so old-fashioned, but this is just mind-bog--

This is, like, craziness.

Yeah, for some reason, it's better

when two things hit before it comes through the transducer.

That's why we get the syrup and the carbonation separate.

What?

So where is it, like, traveling from?

There's different facilities,

so the closer you are to a facility,

the stronger it's gonna come out.

So we're always getting the carbonated one first.

I'm confused. Can I try that?

Taste that, man.

Crap. It's root beer.

Crap.

Yeah.

What? This is weird.

Yeah, let me just tell my boss, okay, that that's happening.

Hang on one sec.

♪♪

[ Beeps ]

This world is getting crazy!

Nachos and, I guess, two Cokes.

Two Cokes? Yeah.

How you guys doing over there?

Doing good.

I won a free bowling on the radio, so...

That's so funny.

Yeah, I'm sorry about this.

A lot of our snacks here are made of cardboard.

You know, it's "corn-board."

They're pop-out chips.

You ever seen these before?

Uh, no. Oh, yeah.

It is made of the same stuff as the chip.

Oh, gotcha. Just able to pop out.

Yeah, a little heat lamp works for it.

Yeah. All right.

Got to keep it away from here.

♪♪

Yeah, all you got to do

is you hold the corn-board one under the light.

Okay.

And now it's a real chip.

Taste that.

Okay.

Yeah.

That's crazy. Yeah.

Yep, look at that. And...all of them are done.

So fast. You want some cheese?

Yes, please. And the cheese

is pop-out, too.

It's like "cheese-board,"

you know, kind of like cardboard.

But they went overly crazy with this, like, sanitation thing.

Yeah.

Like, everything had to be individually wrapped.

That looks like something from "Star Wars."

Well, I think it was NASA had it first.

Oh, okay. It was stuff

that they could travel with

that's flat so they could keep it and stuff.

'Cause all the weight on a ship,

you know, makes a big difference.

Yeah.

Roll that into a cone.

Yeah, and they could take one of these lights on the ship

so they don't have to travel with melted cheese,

which, I guess, is dangerous.

That's frickin' crazy.

Yeah. [ Laughs ]

You could store 'em for like three years.

Oh, wow. Yeah,

and everything's good.

Okay, cool. And then it's

buy one, get one free.

Just watching this was worth the free bowling.

Oh, yeah.

[ Laughs ]

That's awesome.

How you doing?

Two bottles of water?

You got it, man.

That's four bucks.

Great. How you doing today?

Good. How are you?

Doing okay.

All right.

Gonna have to...

All right, let me just check your 20 here.

Sorry about that.

[ Scanner beeps ] Used to

just be hundreds,

and now we have to do it with everything.

So let me pay you [Laughing] with something else?

Yeah, you know what?

Look at that.

The edge on that, do you see that?

Uh, yeah.

That looks weird, right? Uh-huh.

It's like kind of doubled up.

Yeah. See that?

It splits.

Yeah.

Whoa. That's crazy.

Yeah, each side of it...

If I can peel it off -- Yeah, see, that's just --

You can see it's like, you know, a foreign newspaper.

Yeah. You know why

they're doing that, right?

They can print it,

and they've been trying to trick the machine with a dollar

because a dollar will still scan as a real bill

'cause it's coated.

So they figure, if they print on either side of it

that it will trick counterfeit machines.

That's crazy.

I know this explanation is absurd,

but I thought it would be funny

if I could get someone to believe

that criminals are disguising 20-dollar bills

as one-dollar bills,

which really means they'd be losing 19 bucks every time.

So this would be -- Let's see if this is a...

It's like someone's -- Yeah.

Okay, so this is directional.

That is the most...

There you go.

Okay, so this is -- This is real.

I have no idea what's going on, but...

This is real.

But that's the same amount that it was.

Exactly. Stuff doesn't make sense.

They're trying to wise up,

and that's, like, the only way they can fool the machine.

Oh.

Well, I just lucked out and got a 20 for a 20 so --

[ Laughs ]

Right, 20 for -- Well, really, it would be --

If you didn't know, you would've peeled the 20, right?

See, there's two phases.

So if I took that first 20 and peeled it and saw the 1,

we would've just thought that was a dollar.

Get it?

Now that dollar goes in the register, and

me and you don't know.

Now they can take that dollar,

peel it, and now they've got a 20.

Okay. Yeah.

I don't...get it.

I'm just gonna check with my boss if this is okay to use,

and then I'll get you your waters.

Thank you.

I'll go grab those bills. Hang on one sec.

♪♪

Okay, it didn't make a bit of sense,

but he bought it.

So in this never-before-seen clip,

you'll see I was feeling confident enough

to try it a second time.

And then this guy told me what he does for a living.

Yep, this is one of those. Look at this.

Huh, yeah. Is this your friend's?

Huh? Yeah. It's not yours?

Dude, I'm a cop, so no.

Ohh. Man.

Yeah, look at how good they are.

Have you heard about these?

No. I work assault, so no.

Oh, okay. Yeah.

Yeah, we keep seeing stuff. It's, like, got this --

It's a single dollar bill inside.

That's crazy.

Right, they skin it, and then they --

It's just, you know, from overseas.

So they try and put a 20 on top

because the real bill inside is supposed to be able

to trick a machine 'cause there's, like,

you know, a special coding in there that it picks up.

Yeah, but I guess it has the strip.

See, this will go through fine now that --

Oh, no, that's still failing.

That's weird.

Might be the machine.

Counterfeit on top of a counterfeit.

It might be. It does feel thick.

Oh, yeah. You know what? It is.

So I guess they were doubling it up.

Oh, that's weird.

So this is a 20. So that's a 20.

Let's see if this one is...

Yeah.

Yeah, that one's good.

Are you sure?

'Cause I don't want you doing anything illegal.

As a cop. Exactly.

I appreciate that. Let me just ask my boss real fast.

Okay, hold on.

♪♪

Now, I never want to get recognized while I'm filming,

so sometimes, I'll alter my appearance a bit.

And when we filmed at a music store,

I decided to push the envelope and try out a full-on disguise

to match the location.

I was going for an '80s hair band

meets '90s grunge.

Man: ...something with bamboo?

Michael: Yeah, they're trained to gnaw at it.

'Cause I guess chinchillas have an affinity toward,

you know, chipping away at bamboo naturally.

Right.

So they make, like, perfect clarinet reeds.

I'm trying to just get him accustomed to the inside of it.

There you go. [ Chuckles ]

They're so cool, though.

They're just the prettiest little animals.

It really is.

Here you go, Bellini.

[ Chuckles ] You step in there.

There you go. So cute.

Come on.

Supposed to get 'em in the dark or something,

that they're trained to do it in the darkness,

but I just haven't had luck with him even taking to it.

Ah, he's got it.

Oh, that's amazing. Yeah, good job.

They supposedly make the best ones, though,

of anything when they're trained how to do it.

And it's like $2,500 to get one trained to do it.

Wow. He's able to...

I see him trying it.

Oh, there he goes. [ Laughs ]

Oh, my God. Oh, that's pretty good.

Maybe he's got -- I think he's gonna do it.

[ Wood clatters ]

Holy crap.

Yeah, that should be a perfect reed.

That's -- They're trained to make them.

Ohhh.

Is that like clarinet size?

I would imagine so 'cause --

Michael: Yeah, this guy's trained to do clarinet size.

That's funny.

He's knocking 'em out, man.

Good boy! You got it, buddy.

Thank you. Oh, wow.

Wow, he really does like you.

[ Laughs ]

Good.

There he goes. Look at him.

Hey, buddy.

Hey, good...

Thank you, buddy. That's great.

Now, to get the audio we needed,

we couldn't allow anyone to play musical instruments

in the store while we were filming.

Sorry, guys, but we really wanted to hear the chinchilla

gnawing away.

Oh, yeah, that one's a little chipped.

Woman: Huh. This one --

Where was it?

This one looks amazing.

Let me see it up against -- Wow, two of them were, like...

That is precise. Yeah.

That's, like, flawless.

Oh. Whoop.

Sorry about that.

Did he just toss that out?

Yeah.

I guess he's finished.

Holy crap!

So, I think the first --

You know, one of the first woodwind instruments

was made off of chinchilla "chips," they're called,

which is they have a natural way

of chipping a thick part and a thin part.

Right. And someone

put that in a tube

and [Vocalizes] was able to make the first sound.

And that's really where woodwind instruments came from

was chinchillas.

That's why you always see, you know,

pictures of chinchillas with flutes and stuff.

Right. That's so cool. I didn't know that was a thing.

Yeah, he's never named after the guy --

You know the clarinet guy with the chinchilla,

"The Great Bellini"?

[ Laughing ] Oh. That's awesome.

Yeah.

The teeth are shaped in a way

that I guess it just naturally carves a reed.

They're such just gentle little creatures.

Yeah.

What do you got going on over here?

Typically, I need to make people believe

that I'm doing something unbelievable,

but in this next trick, I had to convince this guy

that he was the one doing the impossible,

which makes for a much harder trick.

What?

Yeah.

Have you seen those things before?

No.

Oh, well, you know, like -- Have you seen the nose flute,

you know, people play, like, through their nose?

[ Chuckling ] No.

Oh, yeah, so this is through the ear.

What?

Yeah, and if you're good at, like, popping your ears,

you can shoot --

And that's how the music play, out of your ear?

Yeah. Whoa.

You know, you shoot the air

out of the Eustachian tube of your ear.

[ Laughs ] That's crazy.

You haven't seen that?

Yeah. Never in my life.

The little thing goes inside,

and you kind of get it deep inside there,

and then you try and like...

Michael: There's a way to do it with your jaw.

You just like...

[ Sour notes play ]

[ Strained ] Let me see if I can get it. Hold on.

Hold on. [ Laughing ] Oh.

Play...

[ "Mary Had a Little Lamb" plays ]

"Mary Had a Little Lamb."

Oh, my God.

[ Music continues ]

[ Sighs ] It's really hard. [ Laughs ]

You fly. That's amazing.

Michael: I do it good, right?

You're awesome. Yes.

Yeah, it's good.

Oh.

Yeah, it's cool stuff.

I've been trying to do the double, yeah.

Oh, my God.

It's becoming like a thing that people are doing, you know,

like trying to play it.

If I can get it in...

[ "Chopsticks" plays ]

[ Sour note plays ]

Oh, my God. Yeah.

Try that.

You just put it in your ear over here.

No, try it in this ear.

Yeah. That's crazy.

And...

[ Flute blows ]

Oh, God. Nice. You did it.

Michael: That's really good.

It sounded like you were doing "Happy Birthday" for a second.

Getting a guy to believe he played an ear flute

was on my bucket list,

but one wasn't enough, so I tried again.

And this time, I really refined my technique,

as you'll see in this never-before-seen clip.

[ Note plays ]

[ Laughs ]

Oh, my God. So weird, right?

Wow.

That's weird that it does that.

[ Laughs ] This is so weird.

You can learn how to do it with, like, your jaw.

Bring your jaw forward. Yeah, like that.

I loved going to the museum as a kid,

so I was psyched when we found out

we had permission to film in one.

But because we couldn't mess with the real existing display,

we had to build our own exhibit from scratch.

All right, Chantel.

Chantel: Aww! How super cool.

Here she is. This is beautiful.

Yeah. We had it for three months.

And this is what's being taken down?

Yeah, we had it on loan by the Museum of Natural History.

And this is what they're trusting me to help with?

Well, I'm trusting you to help me.

[ Laughs ]

Okay, great.

Okay, I ripped a contact lens.

Oh, I see.

So the last thing we do before we pack up any of the stuff

is I photograph it, and we give it, like, last looks.

We pack it up and...

You know, it's just for insurance purposes.

Right.

So I'm gonna do the photographs,

and they just wanted someone with me to, like,

give it a good look.

I got you. Okay?

I can touch it up. You can touch it up?

Yeah. Oh,

that's brilliant.

Okay.

So, yeah, these are really expensive

because none of the teeth are broken on this guy.

And this is real? Yeah.

This is a real-deal artifact?

Yeah.

So these are real bones.

Real bones, so that's one thing they're real specific about.

No broken teeth -- Don't come back with teeth missing.

That's right. [ Laughs ]

And this is a warthog taxidermy.

And they put it on display together because, you know,

as a predator, the T. rex --

And the prey?

It would eat these, so they find a lot of, you know,

warthog bones in the bellies of them.

Interesting. Yeah.

Very interesting.

So, we're gonna pack this guy up.

I already photographed him.

Want to just get that orange pad ready?

Mm-hmm. Okay,

I'll bring it over here.

And what I want you to do

is just give it a good look and make sure --

'Cause I can't see unless I go close.

Okay, am I putting this on underneath or --

You know what?

You give it the once-over first.

Just look. You know what they look for?

They want to make sure that there's no tears in it,

like it bumped up against another exhibit,

there isn't any water damage,

and none of the, like, you know,

foam or wire framing that they might've put in it is damaged.

Okay. Everything seems perfect.

I don't really know what I could help with.

Good.

Okay, so I can get the verbal signoff from you.

Here, stand over here.

Okay.

Yeah, good. Nice.

We'll tuck in the corners a little bit.

Okay, make sure that side's tucked in, too.

Get some tape.

Well, I want to make sure I do it correctly.

Yeah, just very loosely around

just to hold the blanket in place.

before we laid that on top.

Okay. And you could just...

Go around?
