David Blaine: The Magic Way (2020) Movie Script

Blaine:

What was your card?

‐3 of spades.

‐Turn over the top card.

[ Laughs ]

Holy...

When you're quarantined,

you have to try to come up

with new ways to do magic.

‐That's...

‐What?!

[ Laughter ]

This is my first time

doing FaceTime magic

while social distancing

while I can't see your faces.

A whole new level of magic.

Hello. That's so cute.

Watch what happens

to the ace of spades. Look.

Oh, my ‐‐

No, no, no.

‐That's crazy!

‐No, no!

Guys, do you want me

to teach you a magic trick?

Yeah.

You pinch

the top of your ear,

and then it looks like you're

pulling a hole through it.

Yeah, that's good.

You learned that quick.

Blaine: Think of somebody

important to you,

but somebody simple that you

would know first and last name.

‐Okay.

‐Okay. Now you're gonna ‐‐

you're gonna spell their first

and last name

facedown into a pile

on the table.

...O‐A‐N‐N‐E.

R‐E‐I‐D. Okay.

Lift up the big pile

that you're holding.

Say your card out loud

that you thought of.

9 of clubs.

Look what card

you just spelled to.

Dre, think of any card

Okay?

‐I got it.

See your card right here, Dre.

Okay. Right here.

[ Both laugh ]

How? How?

Yo, who the [bleep]

are you, man?

[ Laughs ]

So take one out

that you like...

and make sure

it's not signed.

Yeah. Good.

And I won't look.

Let everybody ‐‐ Do you

want to change it,

I won't look

Okay.

It doesn't matter.

And you signed it as well?

‐No, he didn't sign it yet.

Okay. Sign it.

And to make sure

I don't cheat...

Now ‐‐

No, but hold on.

To make sure

I don't cheat ‐‐

No, but look, to make sure

I don't cheat,

can you hold my right wrist

And, LeBron, can you hold my

This is so I cannot

do sleight of hand.

Fair?

‐Fair.

You'll give me mobility,

It's like I have handcuffs on.

All right.

I'll take the card.

I won't look at it.

This is your card, yes?

‐Yeah.

So, look, I put it ‐‐

Let's estimate.

I put it ‐‐ Give or take.

Right?

‐Yeah.

‐About middle, right.

Maybe higher than

the middle.

Little bit higher

than the middle.

What was the suit

of your card?

You can tell me that.

‐Hearts.

It was hearts.

So there's clubs,

spades, or diamonds.

Name a suit to eliminate.

Clubs.

[ Snaps fingers ]

Hearts, clubs.

That leaves spades

or diamonds.

Which do you want?

It's up to you.

What do I want

to eliminate?

‐Which one? It's up to you.

‐Spades.

‐You're sure?

‐Yeah.

My hands are held.

If I squeeze the deck, look,

first I get rid of the clubs,

then I get rid of the hearts.

Then I get rid of the spades.

See, the whole deck disappears

except for the diamonds...

[ All exclaiming ]

...and of course,

the card that you signed...

While you were holding

his damn hands, brah.

Man, you seen the deck

get smaller and smaller.

There's nothing.

You can ‐‐ Here.

The deck is gone.

Take one out,

but don't look at it.

You take one.

Don't look at it.

Don't look at it. Take one out.

Don't look at it.

Go ahead.

Don't look at it.

Take one but don't look at it.

Grab one. Don't look at it.

Good.

Don't look at it.

No. Hold it, hold it,

hold it, hold it.

So obviously, what we're gonna

do is I use an invisible die.

An invisible die.

That's yours. Take it.

So roll it right here.

Good. And everybody ‐‐ No, but

everybody's gonna have

a different number

on that die.

between 1 and 6 ‐‐

What did you ‐‐

what did you see?

‐No. What did you see?

Between 1 and 6.

‐I saw a 4.

‐A 4.

Which one of those cards

do you want?

Which one of

those cards you want?

They all took cards. Which one?

You want that one?

If you're not sure,

you can change.

You want that one? Can you

turn it over, let me see it?

What did you roll?

‐Oh!

‐Let me see.

I cheated. Yeah, because look.

Show us what you got.

Turn it.

See? Oh, wait.

Everybody's gonna have

a different number.

You understand?

Everybody's gonna have

a different number.

So look. Here. You know what?

Roll it right here.

Roll it right on top.

Right on top of the cards,

right there.

Everybody's got

a different number.

Okay. What'd you roll,

a two?

Yes.

And you stopped ‐‐

What did you roll?

I rolled a two.

So you both rolled twos?

‐Yeah.

‐Hold on. So wait.

Which one of the 4s

do you want?

I want this one.

Chappelle, let me see

what it is.

Turn it.

It's gonna be a [bleep] 2.

If it's a 2, I'm going home.

Let me see, Chappelle.

Yeah, there.

Mix those up

People can see

No, because now you're gonna

So go behind your back.

Give them a good mix,

When you're done, Pete,

You did it?

Take some.

Take ‐‐ Take a few, like two.

Three? Two ‐‐ one is fine.

Before this began,

you took a card, also, right?

Can you put it facedown

on the table?

Let's see if they match.

Turn it facedown

and see if it's exact.

[ Laughter ]

But it could just be

a close rip.

It could just be close.

Turn them over.

Let's see if it matches.

[ All exclaiming ]

Oh!

Can you pull out like a ‐‐

Fold the bill

Crisp.

"Crisp" is my middle name.

Adam "Crisp" Newman.

Good. And then do

Oh, sure. I got you.

Yeah, like so it's.

‐Like so.

Nice and neat.

Great.

It's a little messy,

Your $20. Here.

You guys can see?

Great hair colors.

You want to tuck.

Anyway, thank you, man.

What about my $20?

You're good.

Thank you.

What about my $20?

I don't get my money back?

You said

you didn't need it.

I didn't say

I didn't need it.

No, but what's that statement?

It's like, "Time is what?"

‐Money.

‐What is that?

Time is money.

I'm still confused.

Man:

What time is it?

[ Laughs ]

My man!

[ Laughter ]

Oh, yes!

Oh! Dude!

Yeah!

[ Laughs ] Yeah!

I don't know who that guy is.

Not ‐‐ Not from this planet.

It's David Blaine.

Harry Houdini.

Who is he?

‐David Blaine! Extremely famous.

‐Who's David Blaine?

He held his breath

for like six weeks.

[ Laughter ]

He did. Underwater.

That was a thing.

Hold on.

Wait, let me try something else.

Dude, is this you?!

Oh, yeah, my man!

What's up?

Hold on.

Let me show you something else.

‐What's up?

‐Let me try again.

I want to try

something else.

Try it all.

You know all the different

cards in the deck.

Take one out.

Let everybody see it.

Show the camera as well.

Okay.

Don't let me see it,

but show everybody else.

Let them all see it.

Everyone sees the card?

Yeah. Good.

And then you can

put it back inside.

And remember your card.

Good.

Now, here's what

we're gonna try.

You're gonna basically

find your card

by stabbing

into the deck.

So watch carefully.

Hold tight so it won't slip,

and then just stab

right into the deck.

Go ahead. Yep. Pick up.

Now hold on.

You could have cut

anywhere in the deck.

Turn over the card

that she cut to.

Oh, my God!

Look, look, if you would have

got one card more anywhere else,

it would not have worked.

Look, anywhere else

would not have worked.

And you can see you stabbed

exactly to that point.

Look.

I'm shaking. I'm shaking.

Oh, my God.

When I was your age,

Papa only had

one deck of cards.

So when my mom gave me

the one deck of cards,

it was the most important thing

in the world to me.

And I carried it

everywhere.

You know, all the cards

have different faces.

For example, who's that?

My mom.

That's Mama.

That's your mom.

That's Papa's mom.

That's your mom.

These two are my family.

Yep, that's your family.

Let me make the card

disappear ‐‐ whoosh!

Oop, gone.

I know how you do it.

No, you don't.

I know you put it there.

You knew that?

How did you know?

You're a magician?

Think of a card from inside

the group, but don't say it.

Got it.

It's red.

It's red. Yes or no?

No.

Oh, you tried

to confuse me.

You went to a red,

and then you went to a spade.

That's right.

It's a small number.

Yes.

It's a 2 of spades.

Aaah!

Ha ha ha!

Wait, wait, wait.

How did he try

to confuse you?

Tell him. Tell him ‐‐

You went to a red. You went

from the queen of hearts.

And wait, can you tell him

all of the cards that he took?

5 of hearts, 9 of spades,

2 of spades,

which was your card,

queen of hearts

was almost your card.
