FZ: Ladies and gentlemen, a special treat tonight, it's Halloween
Treat time. From far off Austria, Peter Wolf and Thomas Nordeg
Come on out here. Now there's a problem with this part of our
Show, ladies and gentlemen, because what they do is well, it's
Uh, it's little, you have to watch VERY CLOSELY. Eventually we
Are going to require somebody from the audience to come up
And help with this. Thomas, this is Thomas, get, get in the
Light, Thomas. Very good. And this is Peter, get in the light
Peter. Okay. Now, Thomas does things with his hands and Peter
Tells you about it in German. So, take it away, Peter and Thomas
Peter Wolf and Thomas Nordeg
Peter Wolf: Meine Herren und Damen, es ist unfassbar! Wir haben den
Great strange Nordeg live on stage in New York City. Sehen Sie
Seine Hände. Regular size deck. Cuts it and tries to make it smaller
Here it is. A little smaller. And even smaller. Und noch viel
Kleiner, no matter how you say it. Pocket-size deck, right here
Yeah. Es ist unglaublich. Der Meister der Karten, Thomas Nordeg. Take
The print off. Der Künstler ist selbst verblüfft. Und jetzt, the
Print is completely off. And here it
Is again, oh wow. Just so be magic
FZ: Yeah, it's just like magic, ladies and gentlemen. Now listen
You have to watch very closely. I think that uh, hey, look at what
He's doing there. I bet you could really be a good pickpocket. Hey
Look at what he's doing, all right. Now, I have, I have a feeling
That what you're do— I'm supposed to pick a card? I'm picking a card
Okay. You're not looking, I'm picking the card. Do I show it to the
Camera? Do I show it to the audience? Okay, what is that? You see
What it is? Okay, hey, don't tell 'em. No, get the, give, come here
Somebody already said what it was. I'm gonna pick it, you look at it
Don't say what it is, all right. There. Whoops. Sorry. I'm, I'm new
At this. Okay. Okay. Not on top. Not on bottom. Take the top card
Rub it on your shirt. Hey, how'd you do that? Are you magic? One
More time. You're, you're trying to fool me. Ah. Do the one with the
Balls. Aw. What? It flew away? You understand that gravity is
Slightly different in Austria. Now here we have a ball. One ball
You see the ball. Okay, hey, now you have two balls, all right. Only
One ball. Okay. Now the balls are easier to see. Actually, I think
That, Roy, Roy, would you come here please?
I think, in order to make this really work I think
Roy should tell you what's happening. Come here
Roy: Yes?
FZ: Just explain to the audience what he's doing
Roy: Alrighty. Well, you see guys, uh, he's rolling the
Ball, man, you know. That's the silver ball. And that's
The four of 'em. And he's— What, what are you gonna do?
Thomas Nordeg: Oh no, you know what I'll do?
Roy: You got two balls now, huh, yeah, okay. Oh
You got a lighter, man, okay, okay. Then what? Yeah?
FZ: I think you should sing
Thomas Nordeg: Alrighty. Ha ha ha. He has a lighter, in his hand
And he has the whole world, he thinks he does, by the fingers
His fingers were the one. What else can you do? Can you play with
That ball? And the cards too. Alrighty, little, he's playin'
Flippin' the cards. It's like bakin'. I dig— Ooh! That's swift
Man. I love that little card. Can I see that? Love you made of
Heart. Love you. Ah! Ah-ha! Ha ha ha. And then I knew before
That your hands were the one. Yeah, all blank. All sides. Big ones
Little ones. Yes I do. Yes I do. Cards for you, cards for me. Oh!
FZ: All right, I think that's enough card tricks. Throw
The cards into the camera so it looks really good. You ready?
There, it's almost like Halloween. Now, if we can just
Pick up all these cards off the front part of the stage
Let us resume our normal programming, ladies and gentlemen
