The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Page #7

Synopsis: Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas Strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt's growing ego. But lately the duo's greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they've grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerrilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show is starting to look stale. But there's still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act - both onstage and off - if only Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.

Now there it is

The enchanted notebook

I've always kept it with me.

There are some really great ideas in here.

What about raising storm? Who did it?

Arsinian 91

What about stinky stinky 2x4?

That one is really hard on my back.

Oh yes.

Listen guys we just need oncebig trick for Munny's showcase some kind of

grand illusion that would really blow peoples minds

Hey wait minute? What's the disappearing audience?

That was the 1 trick we could never crack.

Yes

How would you make an entire audience disappear

without them being in on it?

You'd have to knock them all out or something.

No....

Krotom

That thing

What?

Its a leaf they chew in Combodia it knocks them right out

We would have to drug a thousand people without

their consent?

Guys no

What? No you can't be serious

That would be dangerous an also illegal

She has a point

yeah

We should test it first

You think this batch is ready?

I don't know check it

You think this batch is ready?

I don't know check it

OK, is everybody knowing what they're doing?

I'm ready.

Me too but I am a little nervous

Anton what could possible go wrong?

Somebody could die, we could go to prison

See when you say it out loud it doesn't sound so bad

Jane, Anton and I have been talking

and if we get this gig we would like you to join us

I'd love to.

Not as our assistant

As our opening act

We think your a hell of a magician

and we would like you to be our partner

alright

Ok i'm just gonna head out

I'm happy for you guys

Sorry, sorry, I forgot my sweater

Ok, bye

Happy for you

Alright

I believe that this was yours?

Very good

Oh you have something in your ear.

"Trojon Condoms"

Very nice

Thank you

Unfortunately that wont work for me

"Magnum Condoms"

Really?

No it's just a trick.

Ok

Your catching me where it doesn't feel good

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas

OK, OK, yea that was something

Ok get out

Yeah

Sorry about that

Next up a man who lives on the cutting edge

and the burning edge

and the gouging edge of magic

You may know him from his TV show "Brain Rapist"

So prepare to have your brains raped

Ladies and Gentlemen Steve Gray!

Thank you

But i'm not here for applause

I'm a little bit different from the other magicians you'll

see here tonight

In fact i'm not planning on doing any magic

at all

Instead I want to do a little thing I call

Drilling a hole in my head

Now according to my research there is a narrow angle

where one can drill

into the skull

missing all the vital parts of the brain

now I've been informed by my nedical team

That I may lose 1 of my senses

leaving me with only 5

and no longer be special in any way

Yes, just like one of you

so...

cross your fingers for me

oh and parents if you have small children with you

you might want lift them up so they can see better

alright without further delay

lets change everyting

Tada!

That was amazing!

Thank you

Do it again!

Hey when did you guys get here?

Oh I lost my drill, I lost my drill out there

Ooh boobies

And that's why he's a star ladies and gentlemen

Steve Gray.

Lets hear it!

Thank you

I feel bad for anyone who has to follow that act

and now to follow that act...

Burt Wonderstone and Anton marvelton ladies and gentlemen...

Yes!

Thank you, thank you very much

Good evening, for 15 yearsAnon and I did a little show

called Burt and Anton a magical friendship

as some of you may know we recently had a falling out

yeah, we fell right out of a hot box

you see ladies and gentlemen

along the way we forgot the most important thing of all

and that is that Burt needs Anton and

ANton needs Burt

because that is what a magical friendship is all about

tonight we offer you the one illusion that we dreamed about

as kids but never dared performed until now

I guess you could say that this tricked started

I was given a Rance Holloway magic kit

and I watched the instructional video for the very 1st time

Hello my young friends, I'm Rance Holloway

You've probably seen me on the Murph Griffith show

Or live on stage

or at the fabulous startdust resort and casino in Las Vegas

magic is the art of making people believe something they know

can't possible be true

for example if I were to say to the man in the 2nd row isle C

that is the ugliest God damn sweater I have ever seen

you might be astonished

because theres no way I could have known what he'd be wearing

when I recorded this 30 years ago right?

well let me tell you something folks

you aint seen nothing yet

No, you aint seen nothing yet

because now Burt and Anton are going to make all of you

everyone in this audience man, women, and child

disappear from this very theatre

Oh my God!

Oh my God!

Thank y ou! Thank You!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank You!

We did it Anthonu

We sure did Albert

Burt Anton congratulations!

You got the gig. I don't know how you did it

this was one hell of a trick

Thank you Doug

and I was sure this was gonna be a disaster

Oh just one thing

Though your gonna make the audience reappear again

after dark again right?

not a problem

Cause now i'm gonna make a sh*t load of money

in the casino

alright

Very proud of ya

Not bad but wait till they see what I have planned

I'm gonna drill a hole in my head right here

ahead of my time
