Watch carefully.Female: No. Come on, I was looking at your hand the whole time.Ben: Yep.Female: Where'd it go?Ben: Right over here. Check it out.Female: How'd it get in there?Ben: I don't know.Female: Come on.Ben: You want to see it disappear again?Female: Yes. You couldn't even get it in your mouth. How'd it happen?Ben: Here's how it works. It's really easy. First, you have someone . . .you can do it right from the bowl or you can have someone scoopout a handful. It works with M&M's, it works with peanuts,really, almost any bar snack that there is. First of all,there's a secret setup. When nobody's paying attention, you takean M&M and you put it in the hidden location; you can put it ina shot glass and cover it up, you can wrap it in napkin. Don'tput it in your pocket, it'll melt.We'll use the shot glass again. Then we put it in there. My aimis off today. You put it in there, you cover it up, and youleave that in plain sight. This is the tricky part: You havesomeone scoop out a small handful. Would you do that again? ThenI say, "I like the green ones," because I have a green onehidden over here. I look through like . . . we'll add a few morein there just for good measure. I look like I'm trying to find agreen one and I scoop it like this, but the secret is that Ijust don't actually pick anything up.The way to practice and get good at this is you do it for real.Say I'm actually looking for a green one. I say, "Let me get agreen one," and you scoop it up and you take a green one. That'show you practice. When you're doing the magic trick, you want itto look exactly the same. Here we are, a green one. Nobody knowsthat you don't actually have one here. Then that point thatreally sells it is that you take this imaginary M&M and youplace it in the other hand. They think they've seen you pick oneup and put it in the hand. Then you snap your fingers and it'sgone.Female: Because it was never there.Ben: Exactly. Then reappears wherever you like.Female: Great.Ben: That's how you make an M&M disappear and reappear.
