my name is michael barata i'm from ottawa ontario canada i'm a magician on and off the ice yes a canadian that plays hockey i know it's very typical anxiety runs in my family it really halted my career at one point until i learned how to deal with it you know sometimes like a car needs a tune-up sometimes someone's mind needs a little bit of a tune-up and i actually went to talk to a professional it was probably the best decision i could have made when i'm on stage i feel really relaxed it's a great way to cope with everything and really allows me just to focus on the audience and enjoy myself to fool pen and tell it would be an absolute dream come true please welcome ottawa's own michael barata [Applause] thank you alison i've always dreamt of performing a big illusion on a vegas stage you know like making someone appear disappear uh a levitation cutting someone in half but don't worry i'm not allowed to do that anymore not since the incident oh but the one i love and what we're gonna attempt today was actually made famous by harry houdini the metamorphosis and that's when two people would switch places in an instant i came up with my own way of doing the metamorphosis i brought two markers two envelopes and two picture frames so we'll start with the markers first i'll take one and you take one and to do my version of the metamorphosis we're gonna need to draw two people and allison seeing we're both here i thought that we would draw each other okay so i'll start which means i need you to strike a pose i love it i just need to focus here we go [Music] okay so far so good already looks just like her [Music] we'll uh draw some lovely hair yes she's got sparkling eyes her nose and a glowing smile and we'll finish it off and just so you know this is actually my daughter's favorite trick her name's alexis i named her that because that's the type of car i could drive if i didn't have kids but it's done it looks so much like you she's speechless i'll flip it over and i'll sign my work [Applause] now it's your turn you get to draw me okay i'll hold these here for you and you can just draw awake okay okay a nice egg-shaped head thanks it's nice of you how about a little bit of hair that would be nice oh just a little peach fuzz that's good okay kind of ears yeah very nice ears excellent uh awkward-looking smile ahead yeah for the body too probably quite muscular right very scrawny okay wow you really captured my essence you wanted hair yeah i'll tell you what like any great artist will get you to sign your work gosh i don't know what that was now we've done a lot over the last few minutes so at this point i think it's really important that we recap lastly we have these envelopes both are empty but can you double check reach inside the first envelope of allison empty yes it is and the second envelope it should also be empty double check reach inside yeah it is we'll start by taking your amazing drawing that you drew of me and it goes inside the first envelope like so you're gonna hold it one arm on each side right in front of you excellent then we'll take my incredible drawing that i did of you and it goes inside the second envelope and here's where the metamorphosis begins because we want my picture to incredibly switch places with your picture so to do that you're going to keep holding with your left hand and with your right hand you're going to put it up in the air like this you're going to turn your palm toward me and you're going to stick out your favorite finger [Music] oh do thumbs count his fingers that works hold it there i find this part of the trick quite touching it's done i felt it lower it down reach inside out pull the picture out because the metamorphosis is complete i have yours you have mine give allison a big round of applause as [Applause] well wow we were so good oh thank you very much what do you think i try so do you prefer a helper that uh can draw or not i like someone who's just gonna have fun up here such as you um it doesn't have to be like a picasso or anything of that nature what went through your mind when you got the call to be on the show i was so excited it was just my whole like career flashed almost before my eyes and you know here i am performing in front of two of the greats have you performed in vegas before never this is a first how does that feel this is so and this is your first vegas performance so cool so cool yeah it was just something that's been on my checklist forever and uh now i get to check it off yeah yeah all right we're gonna see if penn and teller know how you did your trick right on boys michael great trick really funny really funny got good laughs and a room that's hard to get laughs in i did a good job in a very nice draw you know behind you when we're doing bits i often don't look behind us at all at what's up there yeah and uh but there behind you there was monk the scream and there was monet but you weren't inspired by any of them you were inspired by a slightly lesser known artist named jean anderson i think for some of this your style of drawing your style of working very very inspired by him and uh loved the trick and uh i don't know why i feel like saying this but i just do you know i like birds there's something about birds that bothers me and it bothers me so much and that is that birds don't have arms and that makes me creeped out by them walking around with no arms oh they got those wings and those wings will flap but they don't have arms and that bugs me i don't know why i said that but i don't think you fooled us i don't think i fooled you either but this was so much fun thank you to the greats thanks so much [Applause] hold on for more hocus pocus more magic after the break [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
