Make Believe with Lance Burton & Friends

I'm Ollie with here at the Young Hollywood Studio with Kristen Labert, Derek McKey and Lance Burton. How are you? Great. Thanks for coming in. And you guys obviously know Lance Burton, but these two, a magician too. Very magical sofa. Make believe, your uh documentary.

There's something really wrong. Like there's just doesn't match up. Magic and just being a teenager were supposed to be two different things. Then somehow they both collided. There's a thing called the World Magic Seminar in Las Vegas and we all met up um it's a big conference, like the world teen championships in magic.

Yeah, but they what they do that's really special is they have a teen weekend where they've got seminars and and workshops and and ways um to to really work on your craft and that's Lance sponsors that and so that's how we met Lance, that's how I met Derek because we went uh went through the program together and and competed uh at the competition there.

And you've done this from a young age, right?

Yeah. Yeah, I started when I was six actually, with the Lance Burton Magic set. So That was a cute little revelation that we had.

You make him feel like he's been around for a while. I I feel old all of a sudden. Yeah. I I should not be on a show called Young Hollywood.

You should be. It's magic. What made you guys want to get into?

Well, it's something that people older people than me can can't explain. Right. I think for me it's the whole aspect. I'm definitely like logically driven and all about, you know, problem solving, puzzle solving and then when I encountered this, this magic trick where there, you know, all the doors of possibility are closed and it's just this completely impossible feet, I was absolutely fascinated.

And no more Vegas. I'm retired. Yes. Retired. Yes, I'm happily retired.

I think you can do that after 15,000 or something shows, right?

30 years, 15,000 shows. Hang your hang your feet up. And I'm I'm making room for these these kids. Let them through. They're going to they're going to be need jobs in Vegas soon.

Yes. It looks that way. Well, they're on the right track. Can we uh see any magic?

Yeah. Would you I know you're an actor and I'm sure you have a a pretty pretty solid imagination. Would you I like this one. Would you be interested in playing a little game with your imagination, perhaps?

Yeah. Be careful, but yes, I'm happy to.

Okay. No, we're going to the thing though, we're going to use cards. We're going to we're going to use cards so that we um eliminate any sort of uh extra issues. But anyway, if you just place that a palm for me, I want you to imagine that I'm placing four cards into your hand. And that shouldn't be very hard because I I oh sure. It shouldn't be very hard to imagine that because I am placing four cards into your hand. I'd like you to imagine that those four cards are the four queens. And again, that shouldn't be very hard because they are the four queens. Now, I want you to imagine me removing two queens of the same color. In your imagination, did I remove the red queens or the black queens?

Red.

You're absolutely right. So, I'm going to turn one of those red queens face up. Tell me, in your imagination, did I turn over the Queen of Diamonds or the Queen of Hearts?

Queen of Hearts.

You're absolutely right. See, I knew you'd pick the Queen of Hearts because I did in fact turn it over. And and I also knew to pick the Queen of Hearts, put your palm out, because um I I brought it from another deck. And I also knew to pick the Queen of Hearts because I didn't even bother to bring the other three.

Yeah, you're weird. You're a bit strange. That's great. It's good. It's good. Can you top that, Derek?

Um actually, do you have a cell phone I can?

Yes.

All right. Okay. Not that I should have my cell phone obviously in my pocket, but All right. Okay. Um so it's an iPhone. Um and what we're going to do is we're going to take a balloon. Here, check out the balloon. Obviously, I tell him, balloon.

Sure. Yeah. Okay. It's a balloon.

And then we're going to turn um to make it more interesting, we're actually going to take turn on the um face camera. To watch, it's going to be really cool. Watch. Oh, I don't want to do that. And I watch the balloon poke on it, just make sure there's nothing funny. It's not going to pop. No. I'll get you back for that one. Here we go.

Wow. That's really good. Thank you. And this cell phone is actually in the balloon that here. We're going to. That's right. Yeah. Wow. Here, check it out. Just make sure there's nothing Yeah, that's just right. here Hold that in your hand. Hey. Very good. And what's your favorite favorite trick? Oh, I assume that that's Oh, at the end of Lance's show, he makes a Corvette float. That was in the box that Lance Burton magic set. You didn't get that when you just got a few more sales in. If that is in the box set, I'll go buy it as well. Done. Done. Um, well, guys, thanks for stopping in. Um, I've got a little magic trick of my own that's probably going to impress you. So, um,
