Thank you for coming out.
Thank you for having me.
You don't really know what you're in store for, is that correct? Correct.
You don't know what's in my little bags.
No.
But I have brought some items along for you.
I didn't even set these up these up, they were just laid out before I even walked in here.
But just so
it's absolute certain that you know
and everyone else knows that I don't know what is where.
What I want you to do is just take two fingers and touch the bag and and move them however you wish.
Just please keep them in a line, in a nice row of five for me.
And when you're all set just say, "Matt, I'm done." Alright?
Alright.
Go ahead.
Matt I'm done. Okay, are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure. (laughter)
Alright, fantastic.
What I'd like you to do is to take your two hands, palm down and place them over any two bags for me.
Those two right there? Okay, fantastic.
Umm...
I feel it's necessary before I go any further
at this point I should probably let you know what's in the bags.
Just keep your hands there for me if you would.
They're all identical.
They all actually have a little wooden coaster inside.
Okay.
In one of the bags that little wooden coaster
has a not-so-little
solid steal spike pointing up.
In a moment I'm going to take one of your hands and shove it on to one of those bags that you've selected.
Really? Yeah.
You think? (laughter) Yeah!
Now hopefully you've selected well. I always believe that the first
one is just best to just do and get right out of the way. Ummm... is there one of these two
that you'd like to start with? Do you have a preference? Are you right-handed or left-handed?
I'm right handed. Okay, good.
(uncomfortable laughter) Don't pull back. It's okay.
Let me just pull my hands a little but away. But wait!
Do you need a second?
But wait a minute, one of... AHHHH!
(laughter) Okay.
Let's slide that one back.
Good so far.
How do you feel about this one?
I don't know now. Okay...
You don't want to watch? No.
I won't make you watch.
No, but the thing is before we...
Okay, I chose wisely. Thus far.
And then there were three.
The good news is I've never screwed this up.
The bad news is this is genuinely the first time I've ever done this. So...
which would you like to go for now?
Really? Yup, make another choice.
Just select one more. One?
Just one this time. Okay.
I'll go for the first one. That one?
Yes. Any particular reason that you went for that one?
Instinct. Just instinct?
Do your instincts usually serve you well? Yes.
They do? Yes.
Are you confident this time? Yes.
(laughter) Fantastic.
We are down to the last two.
This is a fifty-fifty chance...
A fifty-fifty chance.
And I can like back out, right? (uncomfortable laughter)
No. You've gone this far... you know...
Once you go this far down the garden path why turn around now, right?
So... which of these would you like for yourself?
Ummm...
Uhhh,,, This one. That one?
Really? Yes.
Now, we've never met before today obviously but
I had heard from members of the crew here...
Is it true that you do hand modeling?
(laughter) Yes I do.
Really? Yes.
Really, really? Really, really.
(laughter)
And just so you don't think I'm a liar
and we are quite clear...
No way! (laughter)
It was an absolute pleasure. No way!
Thank you so much. We really appreciate your time. Thank you!
And you get to leave with your hands. I do! And I need them so very badly.
You made great choices, keep it up. Thank you. That was awesome!
Oh my gosh!
I think he's amazing! I think it's phenomenal. And I mean I was about to choose
a different bag at the end and something just told me, "No. Choose the other one."
And when he showed me
the point in the bag I'm like, "Oh my gosh! How did he do that?"
I mean and what if I had chosen that one? Would it have been different?
I mean he's amazing. I'm still thinking about
how he did it. I'm thinking about whether his hands were on the table the whole time.
I can't figure it out so it's awesome. I would LOVE to do something like that with him again.
