I believe if you have to be motivated to get up and do your job, youre in the wrong business. He makes it look easy. And most importantly, you have to have a flare, baby. So when you put all those things together, not only is it a form of art, its an extraordinary ability. Id like to think so, yeah. [roar] i rarely say this to people, richard, but take my money. Whats your favorite card . Name a card. Jack of hearts. Jack of hearts. Yes. So, oneeyed jack. Oneeyed jack. Ok. Theres your card. Follow that oneeyed jack. Here we go. You just shuffle those cards, well give the deck some shuffles. And your job is to follow your card. Are you following your card . I mean im doing best. Do you know where it is right now . No. Its in there somewhere. Ok, here cut off half the deck. Ok ok. Say a random number. Uh, seven. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Whats that . Come on. See. Come on, richard. You know where it was, johnny. Damn it. You apparently knew where it was. I had no idea where it was. But you called seven, didnt you . Regarded as the best in the world, Richard Turner is an expert card mechanic. An auto mechanic fixes a car. Do you what a body mechanic is . Professional hit man. If you want to change your deck and you want to make sure you win, you go to a card mechanic. Everything that you do as a mechanic has to follow the natural flow of the game. So what happens is, ill deal cards to the other players. Only when im ready i deal your jack of hearts. Ok. Watch face up. See how the card sits there . Yep, yep. But you have to deal it as neatly as if youre dealing from the top. Smooth, man. Please say you got that in slow motion . So basically what youre doing then, is youre making it appear as if youre pulling all the cards off the top. When in actuality, youre pulling the card from just below the top card. Exactly right. Now watch, heres one handed. See when its face down . Yeah. You cant tell youve been swindled. When you think of a card shark, or a card mechanic, you think of the shady dude on fifth avenue whos trying to con you out of money. But do you feel like there is integrity to the craft . Thats an interesting question because a card shark, obviously, is a cheater. Theres not really a lot of integrity there because youre stealing the money. I chose to be an honest cheat. Thats an oxymoron if ive ever heard one. I chose to use my skills as a form of entertainment. Welcome to the magic castle. Howdy. Woohoo. Johnny where are we right now, richard . Richard we are at the magic castle in hollywood. And it is to magic what the grand ole opry is to country music. And its only by invitation to get into the place. Would you also say this would be a place of secrets . The magic castle is full of secrets. So heres the lazy way of shuffling. Ok. Lets see if we can do this together. Yeah. Put your cards in your left hand, kind of spread them across. To any novice whos ever handled a deck of cards, you know theyre awkward. I mean theyre square, theres a thick deck of them, theyre slippery. Richard see that, aw. That was a one hand drop, johnny. Even i cant see, but i can tell what youre doing there. Johnny and did i forget to mention . Richard is blind. Richard i do everything by touch. Johnny and hes a sixth degree black belt in karate. Youre legally blind. Well how could you possibly fight . I dont know, find out. Johnny when richard was just nine years old, he contracted a retinal degenerative disease. As his sight diminished, his sense of touch was enhanced. And his drive to do the seemingly impossible quickly followed. To be able to manipulate a deck of cards as seamlessly and as quickly as hes able to do it is impressive. But whats even more impressive is how smooth he is with all of his actions. Youre actually better at what you do because you cant see. Honestly, ive been very blessed and very fortunate. But a gift alone is not going to get you there. You have to then put in the hours. I have spent 58 years practicing with a deck, 10 to 20 hours a day. I sustained that for seven days a week for 26 years straight. To do something for that long, for that many years, and not completely lose interest in it, i have trouble sitting through a netflix documentary. Say a number. 13. 13. Lucky number 13. Watch, im going to try to cut with one hand 13 cards. Take them, count them out loud, face down on the table. Richard, if theres 13 cards right here, im freaking out. Youre freaking out. One, two ok, go, start freaking. Three, four, five, six richard faster. Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. Ill be damned. Lets try this. Two different numbers 5 and 10. One, two, three, four, five. See if thats 10 in that other stack. Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Yeah man. The guys a smooth criminal. With the skill set that you have, this has got to attract some pretty shady characters, right . Ive had mobsters all over the world proposition. One guy, he says, how much will it cost to buy you . You know what i had thought of at that moment . What . The movie godfather. Yes. Both ill make you an offer you cant refuse. Yeah. Dont let anyone say or tell you something is impossible. Whats that . Ah. Richard take possible out of impossible. Make everything extraordinary. Wake up, achievers. Youre making the most of every hour of your life. Except the hours that youre sleeping. So why do we leave so much Untapped Potential on the table . This is a next level bed, for a next level you. My circadian rhythm is kicking your circadian rhythms butt its not a competition. I know, but im still winning so, it is a competition. Save 50 on the sleep Number Limited Edition smart bed. Plus, free Home Delivery when you add an adjustable base. Shop now only at sleep number.

And what i do is, i go around with two fingers, just like that. All right, look at that. Weve got ourselves a banana. Dont let my inner child fool you. Balloon sculpting is one extraordinary art form. Its eye catching, sometimes surprising, and for balloon artist Jeremy Telford, tremendously award winning. Thank you, thank you very, very much. Johnny in 2015, Jeremy Telford set the Guinness World record for the largest balloon structure created by an individual. With a 65 foot balloon wiener dog. Ok. I spent 80 hours building the thing and used about 8,867 balloons. They made you count. How tall and wide was it . Jeremy 12 feet tall and 32 feet wide. Thats one big wiener. The first really large balloon i did was a 45 foot dinosaur here at thanksgiving point. Every single bone was within a half inch of accurate. What he is able to make out of balloons, in my opinion, is more impressive than somebody who can sculpt a dinosaur out of clay. Dinosaurs are among some of jeremys favorite subjects. So this is the utah raptor, huh . Yeah. In utahs museum of ancient life at thanksgiving point is where he displays some of his work and finds inspiration. In fact, i started building on one last night. I was thinking maybe you and i, we could finish it up . Only if i can put it on and run around here and scare children with it. Sounds fair. Can we make that happen . Lets do it. All right. So this build, altogether, is about a 10 hour build. Time is of the essence. My plan of attack is to blow up, twist, and assemble as many balloons as i possibly can in the fastest amount of time. So when did you discover that you had this talent . My wife and i met each other at a Juggling Club in college. The what . Juggling club. The Juggling Club. And her brother had been doing this for a while. And he taught me as a way to pay for my college degree. When we do the raptor, well do that about 500 more times. Is that all . I see a guy make a balloon animal, you know on the pier, at a childrens birthday party. Not very impressive. But what youve managed to do, and what youre capable of doing, its an extraordinary ability. Ok, so small bubble, take it across, there you go. Like that, ah. You are making a basket. Look ma, i made a basket. Hes a natural. Id show him something, and hed have it down pat. Which is not something i expected. 70 of the raptor is going to be this weave. Johnny ok. Just making it different sizes. Johnny so this is a very important technique to use . Jeremy yup. Johnny its crazy because right now its just a bunch of pieces that are separate and im having difficulty seeing how this is going to become a dinosaur. Is that right . I honestly could not have done that better myself. Johnny flat weave time . Jeremy flat weave time. Johnny there was a few times i got a little bit frustrated. There was a few times i got a bit distracted. [balloon squeals] excuse me. Oh my god my hand cramping. Ah. I always said i could be a rock climber if the rest of my body were as in shape as my wrists were. All the credit in the world to you balloon builders out there. Lets do this, jeremy. And so, after hours of finger numbing labor, it was finally time to show off my extraordinary ability, striking fear into the hearts of unsuspecting children. [roar] [roar] johnny and i thought dinosaurs were vicious. What the oh, the humanity. I learned a few things today. One, balloon making is much more difficult than it looks. Two, dinosaurs were not killed by a meteorite, they were killed by small children. That was brutal. Bro, one more time. Worth of drip, but. inaudible rapping jif peanut butter. Its that jifing good, ludacris changed his flow for it. Johnny my schedule can be extraordinarily unpredictable. So sometimes, ive got to call for backup. Oh hello, mr. Bennett. Is your grandson, jonathan, available by any chance . I need to ask him a question real quick. Hey johnny, whats up . Wait, jonathan, thats you . Hair looks great, man. Jonathan i need a favor, all right . Ok. You know how im the host of first look now, right . Oh, yeah man. I know, ive seen it. Your um, your biceps look great. Cool, thanks man. I saw you hosted an episode of first look a while back. I think you were in south korea or something, right . I am a korean fisherman. Yeah, that was really awesome. We got to go hiking, and then we went and saw the caves. Yeah, jonathan, Something Big popped up. And im just not going to be able to make this shoot. I mean, listen its show biz, you know how it is. Want some lime . Of course. Jonathan so are you asking me to like fill in or something . Exactly, jonathan. And youd be perfect. Ok, so whats the shoot . Its easy, man. Youre going to be working with some Basketball Team. Ok. Youre not going to have to get too involved, maybe do an interview or two. Yeah. Piece of cake. Have fun and dont mess this up. Wait, mess up . What am i going to mess up . Jonathan some Basketball Team . This isnt just some Basketball Team, this is the freaking Harlem Globetrotters. Im ready to go. Are you ready to go . Im ready. You gonna dunk it for me . Thats me, huh . Oh i can just walk up and boom. Jonathan they break records. We actually have 22 guinness book of world records. Jonathan blazed trails. Without the globetrotters, the nba would have never existed. Jonathan and are even immortalized as cartoons. The first time i saw the globetrotters it was on scooby doo. And i saw curly neal and i didnt even know they were real people. Jonathan unreal is one way to describe what makes the Harlem Globetrotters world famous. But lets just say that is extraordinary. Everybody cant do it, only the special ones, only a few. My name is ice because my defender can never stay in front of me, its always like theyre sliding around on ice. Oh. Im an aerial assassin, if you will. Ok. They call me moose, not because i look like one, i do eat like one. Johnny ok. Moose but im a large, powerful dunker. I grew up playing basketball, and im also a comedian at heart. Jonathan known for his high flying dunks and showmanship, 2020 marks hilites 19th season with whats considered one of historys most influential Basketball Teams. The Harlem Globetrotters started back in 1926. And they were first called the savoy big five. A guy by the name of Abe Saperstein seen these guys playing and said, listen, i want to take these guys around the world. And were going to play anybody that will play us. In 1945 and 1946, we beat the minneapolis lakers, known as the la lakers today. Jonathan 1946 was also when the nba was founded. And in 1950, globetrotter nat clifton became the first black player to sign an nba contract. For lebron james, steph curry, even myself, michael jordan, we all owe it to the Harlem Globetrotters. Were gonna try the one on one. Here we go. Put your finger right there. I cant believe im doing this. All right, lets go play. Believe it. Jonathan oh. You dunk that ball, you should hear a lot of noise. Theyre all waiting on it. So youve got to give them a little extra funk. You see on my face . Yeah, that funk . Yeah. Then you got to come down and give them some ugh, ah, oh, ah. And i like to mmh mmh, wooh. And i bring it up right there. See my eyes, still . Jonathan yeah. Its intense. Hilite, i can do this in my sleep, bro. Yeah, lets see. Ok, here we go. Here we go. I hit myself in the face. Hilite it was almost amazing. So im going to let you test this out. You have to try to take this ball from me. Yeah, no problem. Lets go, john. You think you can take it . I got it, i got it. Here we go, come on. Come on, almost had it. Come on. Lets go, john. I thought it was going to be easy. Ice can run circles around any guy on that court, hands down. Like i was trying to get the basketball from her, and i was actually trying as hard as i could, i didnt even get close. I think i need some ice for my ankles now. Were missing one last component, and thats the weave. The most important part. Ok, pass to him. Son of a gun. So when the weave is happening, all im thinking about is, oh no, who do i have to pass it to next . See you have to do the choreography, where youre going around one then behind the other one. And if i screw it up, theyre going to crash into each other, and im going to ruin the end of the basketball game. I mean, no pressure. This is crazy. Im about to play basketball with the Harlem Globetrotters. Moose, hilite, high rise, dragon, beast, i mean whats my nickname going to be . Apparently my name is butterfingers. And its my job to sink the winning dunk before halftime. Like, i cant even clap on the right beat. And now, ladies and gentlemen, direct from nbcs first look, its everyones favorite butterfingers, jonathan bennett. Jonathan i run towards the basket, hilite passes it to me, i jump and literally feel like an astronaut just being lifted into the air defying gravity. Its the highest ive ever jumped in my life. And i dunk the ball to score that winning basket. It felt epic. Announcer jonathan bennett. What didnt feel so epic was when i got stuck hanging from the backboard. We never went over that part. So. Guys, dont leave me hanging. Come on. Put me down. You know, youve got it pretty good. Streaming this much stuff was never this easy. Yes nice eye thingies. Theyre collagen boosters.

I used to actually competitively body build. Now i train so i can shovel Copious Amounts of foods down my face. Everybodys good at something. For me, it was eating hot dogs with buns soaked in warm crystal light, i dont know. Johnny anybody who knows anything about competitive eating knows this extraordinary feat of human consumption most famously goes down right here, on the corner of surf and stilwell avenues in coney island, brooklyn. Crowd chanting three, two, one, go. So ive competed at the nathans famous 4th of july hot dog eating contest six years in a row, and ive won all six. Thats our super bowl, or world series. Thats what everybody looks forward to. Were on espn. Long story short, i did it for the hot dogs. Johnny legend has it, nathans hot dog eating contest dates back to 1916. In those days, 20 hot dogs was the big deal. We started getting more return eaters. We started getting eaters from overseas. And we realized, there needs to be a sort of governing body to advance the sport with integrity. And so we launched the league in the late 90s. You cant have a sport without integrity. Exactly. Yeah. Begin. Johnny Major League Eating holds about 70 events per year of varying cuisines. But to this day, if i want to make it into the big leagues the nathans famous hot dog contest is where the sun rises and sets on our sport. Announcer joey chestnut. Johnny and after breaking his own record in 2020, with 75 hot dogs consumed in 10 minutes, joey jaws chestnut is still the top dog to beat in the sport. I would consider that an extraordinary ability. Yeah, i mean i think theyre as great as any other athlete. Hes got 12 titles, its unheard of. So he is the apex predator, the greatest eater of all time. Unfortunately, we couldnt get the greatest eater of all time to chow down against me, the greatest challenger of all time. But we are on hallowed ground, so were going to eat some dogs. Richard ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the original nathans famous on the corner a surfer and stilwell avenues. We have the legendary eric badlands booker, miki sudo, six time nathans famous world champion, and the up and comer, the fastest rising star in Major League Eating, nick wehry. Johnny 40 .
