For all of you wondering about the mysterious cameraman. :)
==Transcript==
- Well, I'm safe.
An old friend was generous enough to take me in.
That's Leo making coffee.
Leo, I am introducing you.
- Remind me what we're doing again?
- I told you like six times (laughs).
- Oh, hello students and cheers to your health.
- (laughs) So Leo used to work
at the Vyctory until about two-
- Two and a half years-
- Years ago.
And just before he took of he actually left me a note
that was very unique- - You can talk about me
like I'm in the room 'cause I am.
- You're in the room?
- Yeah.
- You're not a hologram?
- No.
Amazing. - Oh my God.
- So I left you a note when I was on the run.
- Yes, and said that if things ever got weird
that I knew where to find you.
- You're here so I'm thinking things got weird?
(sighs)
Yeah.
Did I ever tell you what happened to me?
- No, it seemed like one of those things
you didn't really want to talk about so-
- I didn't but you reached out, so long story short time?
- Your call.
- My name is Leo and I'm a magician.
- Oh God, hi, Leo.
- Hi.
Okay, I worked at the resort for five years
and, um, I started working about two and half months
before I left in the fantasy suites, you know,
with all the high rollers, where all the money is.
Anyway, at the time I was working a party
and I was sort of rebooting a classic illusion,
the vanishing woman, from the twenties.
Now that sounds cheesy but trust me the work was on point.
Anyway, so I make the woman vanish at the party,
"Ahh, ooh," right?
Then I bring her back except when I try to bring her back
the woman is gone, like, CSI: Vegas gone.
And that's when things get really nasty.
Your dad sends a couple of guys, they whisk me away
underground through some tunnels.
They keep me in a room for a long time.
Then another guy I've never met before comes in
with a briefcase, half a million dollars in chips.
I nod at him, he nods at me, he gives me the briefcase,
they send me to my room.
A week later I plot my escape and I'm gone.
- (sighs) What about the money?
- The money I left with a very attactive
cocktail waitress named Marissa.
Turns out, I didn't need it.
I had skimmed enough from the whales at the gaming tables
to keep me in pretty lamps for a long time.
(laughs)
- You know I should be shocked by this
but, by this point, it's pretty impossible.
- Want to see something cool, though?
- Yes.
- Well, believe it or not, this is the first time
I've done magic for someone since I left the Vyctory.
- What, what?
Oh my God, Leo.
- It's just for the trick.
- Ugh.
- When you're alone and on the lamb,
as you'll soon learn, you need a bit of levity.
Point at the cigarette, point.
That does it.
There you go, point down.
Thank you.
(laughs)
I'll take over from here.
Call it toward you.
- Over here.
- There you go.
- Uhhh...
- Freaks you out a little, huh?
- (laughs) Yeah.
- No strings, no wires, just a little bit
of hometown amazement.
- What?
- Oh God.
- I don't know, did it suck?
- It's no big deal.
Well, you know, my dad used to take me
to the magic shows all the time.
- Your dad is a man who knows how to do
a bit of a vanishing act, tell me about it.
- Well, you know, I could do that in my sleep really.
(laughs)
- Did he really take you to shows?
- Yeah, all the time to try to, you know,
have me see through the tricks and lies
and deception and all that but I actually have
no idea how you did that.
- Then, I'll work for you.
- That's one for you.
- Our work here is done.
- Thanks, Leo.
- Your welcome, kid.
Want some more, uh, cream?
- Sure (laughs).
