Penn & Teller SHOCKED by visual act! Adam Trent

the weather outside may be frightful but our next magician is just delightful let's meet him now Oh as a young kid I wanted to be a musician before I want to be a magician magic is my main love and because my career it's what I do but one of the things that I've tried to maintain is my love for music and my love of magnets so I try to create the blend of music and magic I also do a lot of video projection I joined a show called the illusionists which ended up on Broadway and I currently perform with my own show the theaters across the country what I'll be showing tonight combines several my loves technology music magic and what I hope to be a spectacular ending this is one of the few pieces of magic that I've never performed on television before I'm very excited to show up for the holidays [Applause] [Music] America give it up for Adam trends [Applause] [Music] was darkness and then there was Adam [Applause] I should mention that while you might have heard other stories that start this way ours takes a different direction one Christmas young Adam received a special gift his very own magic book I also got an ugly sweater Adam discovered he had a natural gift for magic and in time his magic change and soon magic changed him [Applause] he saw the way his magic made people feel and he felt spectacular and there was nothing out of love as much as he loved mentioned except for one thing [Music] [Applause] the second passion he immediately started practicing piano just like this literally just like this we did not own a piano there's only so much time in each day to devote to his two passions Adam felt torn between the two and so like all young men must learn although he loved them both he would have to choose one and that is precisely where our story begins [Applause] [Music] ladies [Applause] Wow did that just like come to you in a dream no that's the story of how a sort of magic actually I wanted to be a musician and I started dabbling for music and then I was realized I was no good at music so I fell in love with magic Wow and so how do you work on this stuff when your your magic is so big in visual I think of some simple store that I want to tell in this case kind of how I started with magic and and I'm playing piano and whatnot and put it together and learned about some new technology that is available for theatrical productions and put it into a magic act Wow so with these big big magic tricks it's not like you can whip them out at sort of parties I close at magic but I'm not a fantastic close-up magician so you know I like to perform a theaters and try to do things that are a bit more theatrical well that's cool what a wonderful holiday gets let's go visit with Penn & Teller this is such a good show for us boy this is great because not only do we get to wear our street clothes not have to be in the suits it's fabulous not to have to go through wardrobe and costume to do it but just be able to sit here comfortably to enjoy great magic and also it's pretty rare that we have big stage illusions on fool us and many people think it's because of how much time it is to set things up but really the reason is most big stage illusionist suck and misses this was such a great routine and I got to tell you the quick change and the the use of the the film to life stuff is wonderful and the thing that people may not know is often with big stage illusions the audiences tend to think that it's all in the box you know you buy the illusion and then you're able to do it and where's close-up is precision stage illusion is just you buy and set it up and this routine will certainly put that to bed because the precision and it is great so we got to say to you is Happy Holidays you know something we picked up a little present for you [Applause] he was so cute service you
