with me now is a good friend of mine
that I just met a couple hours ago
that's how good friends we are RJ Lewis
magician extraordinaire spoke to Gim
masit before I came up yes he said he
booked you 200 times already you guys
are business yes and we've been doing a
lot of things together he said that
you've been doing auctions camps
birthday parties yes and everybody loves
RJ Lewis oh well thank you that's very
kind we brought RJ Lewis all the way to
the heart of Barak to do some magic for
us right here well one of the things I
like to tell people is first of all the
one thing I say throughout my show is
that nothing I do is real when you see a
magician take cards and make them change
it doesn't really happen some people
think if it changes you must have it
here or you must have it under here but
I tell them the truth it goes up my
sleeve you see it's a lot easier but if
you watch the Jack thank you for looking
up I'm going to reach into the air and
make cards appear out of the air now
when I do this people say how do the
cards appear and I tell them the truth
they don't really appear out of the air
just like magic actually what you're
seeing is merely a trick and the cards
are hidden where no one
looks F me I se that something of my
mouth thank you I'm sorry I have to do
that my last show they said it was
tasteless and I don't really eat the
cards because I don't know the proper B
before eating cards I think it's high8
but I'm guessing cuz they're plastic
code right so anyway we're here to have
a little fun with a little bit of magic
I I'd like to show you something used
using some sugar okay would you mind
taking that I use sugar because I have
no equal you see oh come on that joke
was Splendid but anyway splend that or
Splendid oh splend us Splendid here we
go but one of the things I always say
whenever I do this trick is kids do not
try this trick at home I tell them to
try it at school I don't know why
teachers don't like me but it's a very
sweet trick we put in a little bit of
sugar and we put in a little bit of more
sweets for the sweet and
then there's a whole thing about
magicians saying magic words I have to
tell you the truth magic words don't do
anything it's all just something the
magician does to make it more showy but
the words I like to use are words I read
off a can of soda they are all new
improved sugar-free and like magic the
sugar actually
disappears but I tell you what pick
which hand you'd like the sugar to be my
right or my left just point that's my
left where I come from keep your eyes on
the left hand watch we say
sugar wow
can I get a coffee RJ yeah there you got
some sugar and all time did my fingers
leave my hand except of course this one
which comes off like that then it's um
um okay that's a little weird actually I
did that in my show once and a little
kid got very upset cuz he thought it was
real even though I tell them everything
is fake so I ran over and said no it's
like what your Zade does when he does
this look I can take my thumb off and he
calmed down I should have left it at
that but then I said to do the thumb
trick good you'd have to do it like that
then he started screaming again was
probably not the best way to handle that
so kids don't try any of that pulling
your fingers off cuz it might not work
out right so anyway I want to say it's
such a pleasure to be here for Ura
tonight Ura of course does so much for
the community and it helps people
discover their yite and one of the
things that you do that we were talking
before I came on one of the things we do
oh thank you one of the things we do is
that you um ra money through this sort
of uh fundraisers and then you reach out
and help people in wonderful wonderful
ways and I assume I'm getting this
because we have our ninth winner not yet
okay we're going to put that right there
we have our ninth winner we have our nth
winner we want to see a little bit more
magic okay we're going to do a famous
thing this is called the cut and
restored rope trick now every kid has
probably seen this trick because many
magicians do it the magician grabs the
middle of the rope and he cuts it with a
pair of shures now I am a little
embarrassed I say shizar cuz I can't say
scissors now you cut the middle of the
rope and
you oh I'm sorry I did that wrong can I
start over again cuz that would be
really good you see you take a piece of
rope like this and you grab the middle
now a lot of people come up to me after
the show and tell me that I don't really
cut the rope and I get sometimes very
upset about that cuz how could you
really not cut a rope I mean when you
cut a rope you've actually got to cut a
rope you can't not cut a rope of course
the hard part is they hand it to someone
and put it together like
that but I tell you what
we'll prove it gets cut would you grab
the middle put it here on my fingers
have you ever been on stage before uh
several times Well we have't now we're
in the 52 Deli anyway here we go take
the shures don't cut my fingers cut the
middle you selected nicely done now do
you know anything about knots yeah a
little bit good you know there are many
kinds of knots hundreds of Kinds there's
slip knots and Granny knots and great
granny knots and zav Knots and booby
knots I mean there's so many knots take
right here this is a magician slip down
no regular slip down if I were to pull
it would actually unti this one
slips to any spots fact I can slip it
off the rope and give it you as a
souvenir wait is it much of a souvenir
not much Frid not Frid not it's a not
that's Fray there you go thank
