- Happy holidays, and welcome
to "Junk Drawer Magic."
- Where we teach
you magic tricks
out of things you can
find in your junk drawer.
- What are you doing?
- I got all my
holiday shopping done.
These are all the gifts
I'm giving to people.
- Wow.
I haven't even started yet.
- What?
(cat screams)
- I'm doing my
holiday the easy way.
I just stole Santa's magic list.
- Akira, don't mess
with Saint Nick.
You know how much pressure he's
under this time of the year.
- He'll be fine.
Anyway, this list is magical.
There's a list of presents here,
and I'm gonna hold
the list face-down,
and you're gonna take a Sharpie
and circle one of the options.
Whatever you circle
will magically appear.
- Toenail clippings,
bathtub hair hat.
I don't even know what
slime wallet means.
- Well, let's just circle
one and see what you get.
- Okay, here goes nothing.
- All right.
You got candy!
- Yay, I love candy!
- All right.
Let's just see if
your wish came true.
(clattering)
- Whoa!
You've got to show
me how you did that.
Instant candy fix?
Uh, yes, please.
- We'll show you how to
do this trick right now.
Let's go to the junk drawer.
For this trick, you'll
need black paper,
white paper, markers, tape,
double-sided tape, scissors,
a Sharpie, and candy.
Start by making
your trick wishlist.
Take two pieces of paper and
fold them hamburger-style.
Then tape the two
pieces of paper together
with double-sided
tape, like this.
They'll look like a greeting
card with an extra page.
Now write out a
Christmas wishlist
on the first page of the card.
Turn that over and write
the exact same thing.
On your second page,
use your black marker
and circle CANDY.
Make it an irregular circle,
so it looks like
it was done freely.
Now put that black
marker to the side.
You want it to dry out so it
can't actually write anything.
Finally, decorate the
front of your wishlist.
Now you'll make a bag
to hold your candy.
Cut a sandwich bag in half
to fit within your card.
Then cut off the top.
Tape it together along this
side to make a little pouch.
Now, cut a piece of black paper
that's slightly
smaller than your card.
Tape the top of your bag to
the bottom of your black paper,
like this.
Give it a little crease, so
it hangs naturally later.
Now you're gonna make
your black placemat.
Take four pieces of black paper
and spread them out like this.
This is what hides your candy.
Use double-sided
tape to connect them.
And use double-sided tape to
tape the four corners down.
Now fill the pouch with candy.
Now slide your candy
gimmick underneath.
No one will know that it's
hiding in plain sight.
And that's all the prep.
Now for the trick.
Start by showing
off your wishlist.
Open it up to reveal
the first page
and tell your audience that
they'll have to blindly circle
one of the options, and
watch it magically appear.
Close your card and hand
your audience a black marker.
While the audience
isn't looking,
take your third card-fold and
take it to the other side,
revealing your second list
with the circled item.
Place your card face-down
and let your audience
circle something blindly.
Little do they know that the
Sharpie won't draw anything.
Reveal your card to show your
audience what they picked.
Once they're excited
that they got candy,
place your card down
on your black placemat,
and use your thumbs to lift
up the hidden candy gimmick,
concealing it behind the card.
Fold your card in half
and turn it to the side
to watch the candy
pour out of nowhere.
And that's the trick.
- Cool.
I'll give it a shot.
(intense music)
- Thanks for watching
"Junk Drawer Magic."
(rumbling)
- Is that the sound of
reindeer on the rooftop I hear?
That's weird.
It's not Christmas yet.
- We tell him nothing.
- Okay, got it.
(crashing)
- Ho, ho, ho!
- Hi, Santa.
- You just put a
hole in our wall.
- Well, you don't
have a chimney.
- We have a door.
- Ha ha ha ha ha!
Now where is my Christmas list?
- What Christmas list?
- It was Akira!
- Walker!
- Oh, I already knew, Akira.
You see, I see you
when you're sleeping.
I know when you're awake.
I know if you've
been bad or good.
And I know you stole
my Christmas list.
But...
Walker cheated on his math test!
Walker gets coal!
(Walker screams)
(Santa snarls)
(hitting)
- [Walker] It was just one test!
It's algebra!
- [Santa] Eat coal, cheater!
Ha, ha!
- [Walker] X is not a number!
