Now, I had actually never been to one of these stores before

until I stopped by and purchased some props for a magic trick.

That's when I realized this whole place

could be a gold mine for magic.

The rest is history.

Find everything you were looking for?

-Yep. -Perfect.

What are these?

Laundry bags.

Oh, that's nice.

Wow, they pack up really small, right?

I know.

The travel stuff here is amazing.

Oh, I know, the travel stuff is good.

Stapler's not so good.

Travel stuff good -- stapler's not good.

I'm going to open a new one over here.

Let me slide your purse over.

Yeah.

Ahh, great.

At least you work in the right place.

you can get whatever you want here.

Yeah. That's right. Yeah.

I am no good at opening these packages, though.

Oh, they're horrible. Yeah.

My mom doesn't let me use her scissors

because they dull the scissors out.

True. Yeah.

Um...have you seen --

you know what they have, is these things.

We started selling them, too.

Have you ever seen the "Package De sheller"?

[ Clicks ]

What does that do?

Oh, it's a de sheller for this kind of stuff,

so you can just pop it out.

Like that. So it pops out of the package.

[ Clicks ] Like this.

Okay, how'd you do that? 'Cause this has...

No way.

Yeah.

This takes the pressure that's inside

as built-up pressure in there that holds it.

But how the heck did you...? [ Laughs ]

See how it goes like this?

[ Click ]

Yeah, but you're just pushing it.

Right. So, how did it get out?

It's bumping it out. It's bumping it through.

It gives it like -- like you can feel it on your hand.

[ Click ] Feel that?

But still. It's still closed.

Right, that's what it does --

it de-shells it, so it's still closed.

Okay, how much is that gizmo?

This is $30.

Cool, I got to keep that in mind.

Yeah. I forgot I had it.

But they're great for anything.

What is it called again?

It's the "Weber Package De-Sheller".

"De-Sheller."

Yeah, so anything that's like that, it just...

[ Click, pop ] Yeah.

Just shoots that right out.

Try it.

Now, I'll be the first to admit, a lot of the products

we make up on this show are bizarre and/or useless.

But I would certainly buy one of these.

When a product answers a real need,

people will want to believe that it exists.

[ Laughs ] I love it.

May I offer you some peanuts?

Oh, no, thank you.

That wouldn't work, would it?

I don't think so.

It wouldn't work with peanuts?

They're sealed, right?

I got to try it.

That's --

[ Clicks ]

[ Gasps ] No way!

Wow!

No way! Just knocked them right out.

That's...

[ Giggles ]

There's nothing in here.

Wow!

Okay, don't forget you have to staple that.

Yeah, that's exactly right. Yeah.

[ Thud ]

Whoops.

No way.

You know what, it went off in my hand and now...

Hold on a minute.

Don't tell me that you got it back in there.

Yeah, no, it went in the stapler package.

How the heck did you do that?

I shot it off in my hand when I wasn't looking at it.

But it puts it back in, as well?

I-I didn't know that.

Yeah, it's got --

Okay, you need another one.

Yeah. Does anybody else have one?

You know what, let me grab one really fast, okay?

Go. I'll be right back.

So I can pull that thing out.

Oh, my gosh.

No way.

♪♪

This trick was more complicated than it looks

because of all of the different phases --

the stapler, the peanut,

the De-Sheller all going into the package.

And as you're about to see in this never-before-seen clip,

I gave it another try to see

if I could pull it off for a second time.

Yeah, you just do like this,

and it pops them out like that.

So it pops it out. Pretty weird, right?

Yeah, it was. Try it on this.

I think it has to be plastic.

It has to be plastic to work.

Something that it has, like, a --

like vacuum-packed stuff.

Oh, yeah. The hard-shell stuff.

Huh. That's crazy.

That is. That's real cool.

I'd like to get about five of them.

You'd think so, right? Well,

every time you do this,

use a pocket knife, you get cut.

Yeah. It's, like, so weird.

There's no cuts in it. Yeah.

Imagine -- That would be funny.

You talking about for the peanuts?

Oh, peanuts? Yeah.

Uh...Yeah.

Yeah, it's in a shell.

I'll try it.

Wow! Look at that.

That's great.

♪♪

That is insane. I mean...

That's crazy. That is.

And it's still a sealed peanut.

How about that?

That is so wild. I'm loving that.

They just don't have one that makes it, like, go inside.

That's the only one. That goes what?

That goes inside. Oh, okay.

So, yeah, we're gonna get these, and -- oop.

Now what are you gonna do? Oh, shoot.

I just got it stuck inside.

Did you hear that pop?

Hold on. Let me get another one, and I can pop that out.

Okay.

Okay. Give me two seconds. Sorry about that.

Now, sometimes we base a trick on something

that people see every day but no one understands,

like this omni-present checkout-scanner thing.

Honestly, do you know how it works?

You know what I can do? Probably.

I'm going to just clean it.

Maybe some parts of it are dirty.

Oh, here, I'll just use this.

[ Beep ]

That's better.

How did that happen?

I was just trying to clean off the front of the glass,

and then it, like...

You know how, like, the scanner light pops out?

So, scanned it when you held it and then it scanned it again.

Well, it didn't scan it through here.

No. It scanned it

when I pulled it out.

Yeah. How did you pull the light out?

Oh, it's just store policy, you know.

It's a safety issue for, like, returns.

Yeah. Pretty weird, right?

They don't want people going out in the parking

lot holding this.

Mm. 'Cause it looks like a gun.

Oh, yeah.

So that people would be able to take the light out

to the parking lot and then do it.

Really? Yeah --

which makes sense.

It was just a light, though.

Yeah, it was just the --

The little piece of light.

Yeah. I don't know.

All right.

Okay, so, you got it once?

Now the battery's out -- totally.

All right, let me grab a battery.

I'll be right back. One second.

Oh, that's down. Let me swipe it over here for you.

Okay, great.

You know what? I think it will work over here.

Here you go. Okay, just slide it in there.

You got the card, right? Sorry?

I gave you my card, didn't I?

Oh, did I have it?

Yeah, you did.

You know what? I just put it --

I was just holding it.

I'm so having one of those days. I'm sorry.

Okay, wait a minute. Let's just retrace.

I said the total.

Did I put it on the table? Let's just look.

I'm sorry. It's totally my fault.

Oh, wait.

Doesn't that look like your card?

Yeah.

I know, but no way could that have been in there.

We didn't even touch it.

No, I know, but these are safety boxes. Look at this.

Yeah, there is a card in there. I mean --

You know, that is so strange.

They said these were used

How would that -- That is so strange.

They don't want people having these,

I love drawing, and I have piles of sketchbooks

where I draw up new ideas for tricks.

I bought some of these sketchbooks

at this art-supply store

and realized it would be a great location for some magic.

You, at home.

That's you. I'm an artist.

That's cool, right?

Woman: Yeah, I don't know what it's doing.

There's nothing --

Oh, that's that little training thing for origami.

Oh.

I think you're supposed to use the box as a guide.

Oh!

Which one do you like?

I was going to do the heart.

The heart? Is it the easiest one?

It looks like it is. Yeah, the heart.

Yeah, it's like you take -- well, this is what --

Some guy came in and was showing me how it works.

Yeah. He didn't speak English.

Oh!

But he gave me the directions, and it's just symbols,

but it's not like -- like, if you put --

He said you fold it in half and then half again.

So that it's in quarters, like that.

That's how you start it? You start them like that.

And then you balance it on this stick that's inside there.

Okay. That's cool.

Which is weird because they put the directions inside.

Exactly. You balance that like that...

and you close it.

So, you do it with the box closed?

Yeah. That's what he was showing me.

He would go -- 'cause that's up.

So you go up, then down, and push.

That's what those arrows are.

Yeah. And then, this is to go

around like that.

[ Giggles ]

And open it and...

Yeah.

You're kidding me. No.

That's what he was showing.

That is amazing.

Yeah. It's like... apparently like origami --

Well, it's simple shapes. It's not really complicated.

You just blew my mind. I don't know.

I'm so blown away.

That is so cool.

Well, 'cause origami apparently means "one finger."

That's, like, mimicking the one finger.

So, all the moves,

all the folding can be done with one beam.

That's amazing. I love it.

That's a good present.

It is a good present. Yeah.

Yeah.

Apparently, this was like for a kid's toy,

but it would be our version of training wheels on a bicycle.

"Dumb American" version. [ Laughs ]

Yeah.

They're so smart over there.

That's so cool. Can I keep this one?

Sure, you can keep that, yeah.

Not like I'm going to do anything with it,

but maybe I'll keep it on my dashboard for a minute.

Oh, you know, the other one was fun with a dollar.

Oh, really?

Yeah, do you have a dollar?

Um, yeah, I do.

It's an off-map one, though.

So I'm going to have to remember it.

I don't know if I remember it.

Well, you try it.

Okay. Okay. You tell me.

So, fold it. Okay.

Fold it in half again.

So that matters, okay.

And then fold it in half again.

That's kind of how it was folded already.

Yeah. Okay.

And make a tight, tight crease.

And then balance it on top of the beam.

If you balance that on top of that --

Okay, go ahead, you do it. Close it.

All right. What am I going to make?

Close the...piece. Close the latch.

Okay, let me see if I can do this backwards.

You're going to go that way.

So just flip it? Mm-hmm.

Oh, wait, stop, wait! Hold on, it's this way.

'Cause I'm backwards.

[ Groans ] Okay.

Go that way. Whole box. Yep.

Back. Flip it one more over.

Now you're going to slide it fast one -- Yep. Good.

Flip it on its...top.

This way? Yep.

Top. Turn.

And now flip it back over very gently.

Yep. And open it.

Oh, I didn't do that gently.

Did it do it?

No, it didn't do anything!

[ Groans ] I'm terrible.

You have, like, ninja moves

where you're like, "choo, choo, choo, choo."

All right, try it unfolded.

Balance it unfolded.

Do you know what I think it did?

You got to be F'ing kidding me.

That's my fault. Yeah, I was --

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

My mind is blown. No.

It turned -- yeah. Are you -- am I --

Because I'm looking at you,

I'm trying to give you directions facing this way.

Remember when I said to go this way,

you would have been mirroring me.

So, it folded --

It didn't fold it, it cut it.

No, it folded the corners in to itself.

Sweetheart, look at it. Yeah.

But how did it reprint?

Well, you know, like, this paper is one color on one side

and one color on the other?

If you fold it in, you're not going to see

any of the white paper anymore.

It all gets folded up.

True, but...

It's like it reprinted.

I wonder if I can use this to buy something?

I'm going to keep this.

Okay. Yeah. We could try and undo it or--

No. No?

Nope. This is my souvenir.

This is my real souvenir. Okay.

I feel like I'm on drugs right now, actually.

Thank you. You're welcome.

Mm.

Hello. Hello.

How are you?

I tried this calligraphy-themed trick

at a mall kiosk once before, and it didn't go very well.

The art-supply store was our shot at redemption,

and this time, we nailed it.

For, like, weddings and stuff,

you could write, like, little "reserved" table cards.

My writing's not very good.

Mine isn't, either.

Yeah, it just looks like basic writing.

It looks good.

Well, it's okay.

The pen makes it okay,

but this ink has a natural enzyme in it

that is like an active culture.

So, after you write with it, you just, you know,

you're supposed to wiggle it.

Yeah.

And it spreads through the paper.

Ah, nice. That's cool.

And it kind of swirls the edges on what you wrote.

So that it makes it look fancier.

Wow. Yeah.

That's really cool. Yeah.

You know how printer ink has live cultures inside of it?

Someone noticed that if you leave it on the

right kind of paper,

the little cultures will try and travel.

Ahh.

So they were like, "Let's take advantage of that."

You know, and make something artistic.

That's smart, yeah.

You can use any kind of paper that doesn't have

a coating on it...

and you just write whatever you want, like...

What's your name?

Amanda.

A-M-A-N-D-A.

Okay, I'll do my best calligraphy. [ Laughs ]

A-M-A-N --

D... D...

...A. ...A --

try and do, like, a thing on it.

Little bit fancy. Yeah.

Yeah, and it's still wet,

so you don't touch it with your fingers.

Yeah.

But when it's like that,

you just want to shake it, like this,

and you can see it start to -- There it goes through, right?

That's crazy.

See that?

Yeah. That's insane.

Swirls right on through there.

Wow. Yeah.

Here, you take that, hang on to that,

and I'll get you a pack of this paper, okay?

The whole kit should come out to $7 total.

Okay. I'll be right back.

That's awesome.

One day, our production office got a call out of the blue

from Nathan Deal, the governor of Georgia,

saying he was a huge fan of the show,

and if we ever needed anything, just ask.

So, we asked if we could borrow his mansion for a day.

Talk about Southern hospitality.

Uh, yeah, come on over here, I'll show you what we're doing.

We're just setting up a bunch of six-tops.

Okay.

Tonight's the 100-year anniversary of the fire...

Oh. ...of 1916.

Every year, they have an event

that honors the rebuilding of the mansion.

Gotcha. This is the hero table.

This is the table that we set up.

You know, the governor's wife perished in that fire.

Right.

So every year, they set up a table, nobody dines at it...

Right, it's set up. ...but it's honorary.

It's gonna have white linen and these special plates.

Come around here, I'll show you.

This is what makes tonight's event really special.

They're excited because in 100 years,

they've set up this table, but they actually just uncovered

some of the china from 1916.

It was found at an auction.

Oh, wow.

So that's what we're going to do that table with.

Okay. Really thrilled about it.

It's pretty, isn't it? Yeah.

And when we set that table, of course,

I'll give you gloves, too.

We have to be very careful. Okay.

So, these are going to get set over there --

I don't want to put down

until we bring these over to this table, here.

Okay. Okay.

So, come around over here.

Great.

Let's have you take the linen...

Okay. ...and put it on the table.

I wouldn't drape it yet. We'll do that last.

Okay.

'Cause we don't want any dust to get on it or anything.

Right.

Oh, here, take two of the napkins, as well.

Okay. Here you go.

Yeah.

We always set that table last after the whole event is set up.

Sure. Okay.

So, come on over here,

and I will have you put those gloves on

and just wipe down those spoons.

Just try and polish them up a little bit more.

Yeah, no problem.

I'll bring this into the kitchen to get cleaned,

and I also have a pair of candlesticks

from the 1916 fire.

Oh, cool.

So we're going to bring those out.

We're not going to light them, obviously.

[ Laughs ]

That's what started the fire.

So, I'm going to get the candlesticks.

Wipe those down, put it with the rest

of the silverware, and then I'll be right back. Okay?

Okay. All right.

Usually, we avoid details that are too frightening
