Brain magic | Keith Barry

Translator: Lucia Daubnerova Reviewer: Alena Tenzerova

Mentálna mágia. Čo je to mentálna mágia?

Brain magic. What's brain magic all about?

Brain magic to me indicates that area of magic

Pre mňa je to mágia, ktorá

dealing with psychological and mind-reading effects.

sa zaoberá psychologickými efektami a čítaním mysle.

So unlike traditional magic, it uses the power of words,

Narozdiel od tradičnej mágie používa moc slov,

linguistic deception, non-verbal communication

jazykové klamy, neverbálnu komunikáciu

a iné techniky na vytvárenie ilúzie šiesteho zmyslu.

and various other techniques to create the illusion of a sixth sense.

Ukážem vám, aké je ľahké

I'm going to show you all how easy it is

manipulovať ľudskú myseľ, keď viete ako.

to manipulate the human mind once you know how.

Chcem, aby ste sa všetci, čo ste tu dole pridali ku mne.

I want everybody downstairs also to join in with me and everybody.

I want everybody to put out your hands like this for me, first of all.

Najskôr všetci takto vystrite ruky.

OK, clap them together, once.

Raz tliesknite.

OK, reverse your hands.

Dobre. Teraz otočte ruky.

Robte presne to, čo ja.

Now, follow my actions exactly.

Polovica publika má ľavú ruku hore. Prečo?

Now about half the audience has their left hand up. Why is that?

Dobre. Vymeňte ruky, dajte pravú hore.

OK, swap them around, put your right hand up.

Cross your hands over, so your right hand goes over,

Teraz prekrížte ruky tak, aby pravá bola hore,

interlace your fingers like this,

takto prekrížte prsty,

then make sure your right thumb is outside your left thumb --

skontrolujte, či je pravý palec zvonku ľavého,

that's very important.

to je veľmi dôležité.

Yours is the other way around, so swap it around.

Váš je naopak, vymeňte ich.

Excellent, OK. Extend your fingers like this for me.

Výborne. Vystrite prsty ako ja.

All right. Tap them together once.

Správne. Ťapnite ich raz o seba.

OK, now, if you did not allow me to deceive your minds,

Dobre. Ak ste mi nedovolili oklamať vašu myseľ,

you would all be able to do this.

budete všetci môcť urobiť toto.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

(Laughter ends)

Now you can see how easy it is

Teraz vidíte, aké je pre mňa

for me to manipulate the human mind, once you know how.

ľahké manipulovať ľudskú myseľ, keď viem ako.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

Now, I remember when I was about 15,

Pamätám si, keď som mal 15 rokov,

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

I read a copy of Life magazine,

čítal som v časopise Life

which detailed a story about a 75-year-old blind Russian woman

príbeh 75-ročnej slepej rusky

schopnej rozoznať tlačené písmo,

who could sense printed letters --

there's still people trying to do it --

- niektorí sa stále snažia -

(Smiech)

(Laughter)

Dokázala rozoznať tlačené písmo, dokonca farby, iba hmatom.

-- who could sense printed letters and even sense colors, just by touch.

And she was completely blind.

Bola úplne slepá.

Dokázala tiež čítať sériové čísla na bankovkách,

She could also read the serial numbers on bills

when they were placed, face down, on a hard surface.

keď boli položené lícom nadol na tvrdom povrchu.

Now, I was fascinated, but at the same time, skeptical.

Bol som fascinovaný, ale zároveň skeptický.

Ako dokáže niekto čítať bruškami prstov?

How could somebody read using their fingertips?

Ak sa nad tým zamyslíte, ak je niekto úplne slepý...

You know, if you actually think about it, if somebody is totally blind --

Včera jeden pán predviedol ukážku,

a guy yesterday did a demonstration in one of the rooms,

where people had to close their eyes and they could just hear things.

pri ktorej ľudia museli zatvoriť oči a iba počúvali.

A je naozaj zvláštne pokúsiť sa prísť na to,

And it's just a really weird thing to try and figure out.

ako sa dá čítať hmatom.

How could somebody read using their fingertips?

V televíznom programe, ktorý budem mať na MTV,

Now earlier on, as part of a TV show that I have coming up on MTV,

som sa pokúsil o podobnú ukážku toho,

I attempted to give a similar demonstration

čo poznáme ako "druhý zrak".

of what is now known as second sight.

Poďme si ju pozrieť.

So, let's take a look.

(Video) Muž: Prosím.

(Video) Man: There we go.

Zaviediem ťa do auta.

I'm going to guide you into the car.

Kathryn Thomas: (Smiech)

Kathryn Thomas: (Laughter)

Man: You're OK, keep on going.

Muž: Ideš dobre, pokračuj.

Ahoj.

KT: How are you?

Keith Barry: Kathryn, som Keith.

Keith Barry: Kathryn, it's Keith here.

Zaveziem ťa na tajné miesto, dobre?

I'm going to take you to a secret location, OK?

Kathryn, nevidíš nič cez masku?

Kathryn, there was no way you could see through that blindfold.

KT: Nie. Ale nehovor mi Kathryn. KB: Ale si OK?

KT: OK, but don't say my name like that. KB: But you're OK?

KT: Yes.

KB: Áno.

KB: Nevidíš vôbec nič? KT: Nie.

KB: No way to see through it? KT: No.

KB: Dobre, dám ti ju dole.

KB: I'll take it off.

Do you want to take the rest off?

Chceš si dať dole aj druhú časť?

Daj si ju dole, neboj. Zastavíme na sekundu.

Take it off, you're OK. We'll stop for a second.

KT: I'm so afraid of what I'm going to see.

KT: Bojím sa, čo uvidím.

KB: You're fine, take it off. You're OK. You're safe.

KB: Neboj sa. Daj si ju dole. Si v bezpečí.

Počula si už o druhom zraku?

Have you ever heard of second sight?

KT: Nie.

KT: No.

KB: Druhý zrak je, keď expert v kontrole mysle

KB: Second sight is whereby a mind-control expert

can see through somebody else's eyes.

môže vidieť cez oči inej osoby.

Idem to teraz skúsiť.

And I'm going to try that right now.

KT: Preboha.

KT: God.

KB: Pripravená?

KB: Are you ready?

Where is it? There's no way --

V žiadnom prípade...

KT: (Píp)

KT: (Beep)

KT: Oh, my God!

KT: Preboha!

KB: Don't say anything,

KB: Nič nehovor.

Pokúšam sa vidieť cez tvoje oči. Nič nevidím.

I'm trying to see through your eyes. I can't see.

KT: There's a wall, there's a wall.

KT: Je tam stena, stena.

KB: Look at the road, look at the road.

KB: Pozeraj na cestu, pozeraj na cestu.

KT: OK, OK, OK. Oh, my God!

KT: Dobre, dobre, bože môj!

KB: Nejaká prekážka? KT: Nie.

KB: Now, anything coming at all? KT: No.

KB: Naozaj nič?

KB: Sure there's not?

KT: Nie, nie, stále sledujem cestu.

KT: No, no, I'm just still looking at the road.

I'm looking at the road, all the time.

Neustále sledujem cestu.

I'm not taking my eyes off the road.

Nepúšťam zrak z cesty.

(Píp)

(Beep)

(Píp)

(Beep)

(Píp)

(Beep)

Preboha!

KT: Oh, my God!

KB: Kde sme? Kde sme?

KB: Where are we? Where are we?

Ideme do kopca, ideme do kopca?

We're going uphill, are we going uphill?

KT: Pozeraj na cestu... (Píp)

KT: Look at the road -- (Beep)

Stále máš tú prekliatu masku.

Still got that goddamn blindfold on.

KB: Čo?

KB: What?

KT: Ako to robíš?

KT: How are you doing this?

KB: Just don't break my concentration.

KB: Nechaj ma sústrediť sa.

KB: Ale. ideme dobre, však? KT: Áno

We're OK, though? KT: Yes.

Je to také divné.

That's so weird.

Už sme skoro tam. Preboha!

We're nearly there. Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Preboha!

KB: Zastavil som.

KB: And I've stopped.

KT: That is weird.

KT: Je to také divné.

Si ako šialený výstrelok prírody.

You're like a freak-ass of nature.

Nikdy som nezažila nič desivejšie.

That was the most scary thing I've ever done in my life!

(Potlesk)

(Applause)

KB: Ďakujem.

KB: Thank you.

Mimochodom, pred 2 dňami, sme toto šli natočiť

By the way, two days ago, we were going to film this

na pretekársku dráhu, posadili sme do auta jedného chlapa

down there, at the race course, and we got a guy into a car,

a kameramana dozadu,

and we got a camera man in the back,

počas jazdy mi povedal,

but halfway through the drive,

he told me he had, I think it was a nine-millimeter,

že má zbraň, myslím že kaliber 9 mm,

pripevnenú o nohu.

stuck to his leg.

So, I stopped pretty quick, and that was it.

Hneď som zastavil a bolo po filmovaní.

So, do you believe it's possible to see through somebody else's eyes?

Myslíte si teda, že sa dá vidieť cez oči inej osoby?

That's the question.

To je otázka.

Now, most people here would automatically say no.

Väčšina ľudí by automaticky povedala, že nie.

OK, but I want you to realize some facts.

Ale uvedomte si pár faktov.

I couldn't see through the blindfold.

Cez masku som nevidel.

The car was not gimmicked or tricked in any way.

Auto nebolo nijako upravené.

The girl, I'd never met before, all right.

To dievča som nikdy predtým nevidel.

So, I want you to just think about it for a moment.

Na chvíľu sa nad tým zamyslite.

Mnohí sa snažia prísť na nejaké logické vysvetlenie toho,

A lot of people try to come up

with a logical solution to what just happened, all right.

čo sa práve udialo.

But because your brains are not trained in the art of deception,

Ale keďže vaše mozgy nie sú trénované v umení klamať,

the solutions you come up with

99 % vašich vysvetlení

will, 99 percent of the time, be way off the mark.

je mylných.

This is because magic is all about directing attention.

To preto, že mágia je o odpútaní pozornosti.

Keď napriklad nechcem, aby ste sa pozreli na moju pravú ruku,

If, for instance, I didn't want you to look at my right hand,

nepozriem sa na ňu.

then I don't look at it.

But if I wanted you to look at my right hand,

Ale keď chcem, aby ste sa na moju pravú ruku pozreli,

pozriem sa na ňu tiež.

then I look at it, too.

You see, it's very simple, once you know how,

Vidíte, je to veľmi ľahké, keď viete ako,

but very complicated in other ways.

ale inak veľmi zložité.

Predvediem vám to hneď teraz.

I'm going to give you some demonstrations right now.

I need two people to help me out real quick. Can you come up?

Potrebujem na pomoc 2 ľudí. Môžete prísť sem hore?

And let's see, down at the end, here, can you also come up, real quick?

Vy, tam dole na konci, môžete aj vy prísť?

Do you mind? Yes, at the end.

Môžete? Áno, vy na konci.

Dobre, zatlieskajte im.

OK, give them a round of applause as they come up.

You might want to use the stairs, there.

Tam sú schody.

(Applause)

(Potlesk)

Je veľmi dôležité, aby si tu všetci uvedomili, že

It's very important for everybody here to realize

I haven't set anything up with you.

som si s vami vopred nič nedohodol.

Neviete, čo sa stane, však?

You don't know what will happen, right?

Môžete tam chvíľu zostať stáť?

Would you mind just standing over here for a moment?

Your name is? Nicole: Nicole.

Ako sa voláte? Nicole: Nicole.

KB: Nicole, a?

KB: Nicole, and?

(Zvonenie telefónu)

(Telephone ringing)

KB: Viete čo? Zdvihnite to.

KB: Actually, here's the thing, answer it, answer it, answer it.

(Smiech)

(Laughter)

Je to dievča? Muž: Už zložili.

Is it a girl? Man: They've already gone.

KB: Dobre. Vymeňte si miesta.

KB: OK, swap over positions.

Can you stand over here? This will make it easier.

Môžete sa postaviť sem? Tak to bude jednoduchšie.

Škoda, povedal by som im, že to bolo pikové eso.

Pity, I would have told them it was the ace of spades.

OK, a little bit closer.

Dobre, trochu bližšie.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

Trošku bližšie, poďte bližšie... vyzerajú naozaj nervózne.

OK, a little bit closer, come over -- they look really nervous up here.

Do you believe in witchcraft?

Veríte v mágiu?

Nicole: Nie.

Nicole: No.

KB: Vúdú? Nicole: Nie.

KB: Voodoo? Nicole: No.

KB: Things that go bump in the night? Nicole: No.

KB: Veci, čo strašia po nociach? Nicole: Nie.

KB: Besides, who's next, no, OK.

KB: Nič?... Nie? ... Dobre.

I want you to just stand exactly like this for me,

Zostaňte presne takto

pull up your sleeves, if you don't mind.

a vyhrňte si rukávy, prosím.

OK, now, I want you to be aware

Chcem, aby ste vnímali

of all the different sensations around you,

všetky pocity navôkol

because we'll try a voodoo experiment.

a vyskúšame vúdú pokus.

I want you to be aware of the sensations, but don't say anything until I ask you,

Sústreďte sa na pocity, ale nehovorte nič, kým sa nespýtam,

and don't open your eyes until I ask you.

a neotvárajte oči, kým vás nevyzvem.

From this point onwards, close your eyes,

Odteraz majte oči zavreté,

do not say anything, do not open them,

nič nehovorte, neotvárajte ich,

be aware of the sensations.

všímajte si pocity.

Áno alebo nie, cítili ste niečo?

Yes or no, did you feel anything?

Nicole: Áno.

Nicole: Yes.

KB: Cítili ste niečo. Čo ste cítili?

KB: You did feel that? What did you feel?

Nicole: Dotyk na chrbte.

Nicole: A touch on my back.

KB: How many times did you feel it?

KB: Koľkokrát ste ho cítili?

Nicole: Twice.

Nicole: Dvakrát.

KB: Twice. OK, extend your left arm out in front of you.

KB: Dvakrát. Dobre. Predpažte ľavú ruku.

Vystrite ľavú ruku.

Extend your left arm, OK.

OK, keep it there.

Dobre, nechajte ju tak.

Všímajte si pocity, nič nehovorte, neotvárajte oči.

Be aware of the sensations, don't say anything, don't open your eyes, OK.

Cítili ste niečo?

Did you feel anything, there?

Nicole: Yes. KB: What did you feel?

Nicole: Áno. KB: Čo ste cítili?

Nicole: 3...

Nicole: Three --

KB: Šteklivý pocit? Nicole: Áno.

KB: Like a tickling sensation? Nicole: Yes.

KB: Môžete nám ukázať kde?

KB: Can you show us where?

Výborne. Otvorte oči.

OK, excellent. Open your eyes.

Ani som sa vás nedotkol.

I never touched you.

I just touched his back, and I just touched his arm.

Dotkol som sa iba jeho chrbta a ruky.

A voodoo experiment.

Vúdú.

(Smiech)

(Laughter)

Toto predvádzam noc čo noc po nočných baroch.

Yeah, I walk around nightclubs all night like this.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

Posaďte sa na chvíľu tam.

You just take a seat over here for a second.

O chvíľu vás opäť budem potrebovať.

I'm going to use you again, in a moment.

Môžete si sem sadnúť, prosím?

Can you take a seat right over here, if you don't mind.

Sit right here. Man: OK.

Sadnite si sem. Muž: Dobre.

KB: OK, take a seat. Excellent, OK.

KB: Sadnite si, výborne.

Pozrite sa priamo na mňa.

Now, what I want you to do is look directly at me, OK,

Zhlboka sa nadýchnite nosom

just take a deep breath in through your nose,

a vydýchnite ústami, uvoľnite sa.

letting it out through your mouth, and relax.

Allow your eyes to close, on five, four, three, two, one.

Zatvorte oči na 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Close your eyes right now.

Zatvorte oči teraz.

Dobre. Nehypnotizujem vás,

OK, now, I'm not hypnotizing you,

iba vás uvádzam do vyššieho stavu synchrónnosti,

I'm merely placing you in a heightened state of synchronicity,

aby boli naše mysle rovnako naladené.

so our minds are along the same lines.

And as you sink and drift and float into this relaxed state of mind,

Ako budete upadať do tohto uvoľneného stavu mysle,

vezmem vašu ľavú ruku a nechám ju tu hore.

I'm going to take your left hand, and just place it up here.

Podržte ju tu chvíľu

I want you to hold it there just for a moment,

and I only want you to allow your hand

a nechajte ju

klesnúť na stôl

to sink and drift and float back to the tabletop

at the same rate and speed

rovnakou rýchlosťou,

ako budete upadať do uvoľneného stavu vedomia;

as you drift and float into this relaxed state of awareness,

and allow it to go all the way down to the tabletop.

nechajte je klesnúť až na stôl.

That's it, all the way down, all the way down.

To je ono, až dole, až dole,

and further, and further.

ďalej a ďalej.

Excellent.

Výborne.

I want you to allow your hand to stick firmly to the tabletop.

Nechajte ruku pevne na stole.

OK, now, allow it to stay there.

Dobre, nechajte ju tam.

OK, now, in a moment, you'll feel a certain pressure, OK,

Ochvíľu ucítite istý tlak.

and I want you to be aware of the pressure.

Sústreďte sa na ten tlak.

Just be aware of the pressure.

Uvedomte si ten tlak.

And I only want you to allow your hand

Nechajte ruku

zodvihnúť sa pomaly zo stola, keď pocítite uvoľnenie tlaku;

to float slowly back up from the tabletop as you feel the pressure release,

ale až keď pocítite uvoľnenie tlaku.

but only when you feel the pressure release.

Do you understand? Just answer yes or no.

Rozumiete? Odpovedzte iba áno alebo nie.

Man: Yes.

Muž: Áno.

KB: Podržte ju tam.

KB: Hold it right there.

And only when you feel the pressure go back,

Až keď opäť pocítite tlak,

allow your hand to drift back to the tabletop,

nechajte ruku klesnúť na stôl,

but only when you feel the pressure.

ale až keď pocítite tlak.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

OK, that was wonderfully done. Let's try it again.

Skvele! Skúsme to znova.

Excellent. Now that you've got the idea, let's try something even more interesting.

Výborne. Keď tomu už rozumiete, skúsme niečo zaujímavejšie.

Allow it to stick firmly to the tabletop, keep your eyes closed.

Nechajte ruku pevne na stole, oči majte zatvorené.

Can you stand up? Just stand, stage forward.

Môžete sa postaviť? Sem dopredu.

I want you to point directly at his forehead.

Ukážte priamo na jeho čelo.

Dobre.

OK.

Imagine a connection between you and him.

Predstavte si spojenie medzi vami a ním.

Only when you want the pressure to be released,

Keď budete chcieť tlak uvoľniť,

make an upward gesture, like this,

urobte takéto gesto;

but only when you want it to be released.

ale až keď to budete chcieť.

You can wait as long as you want,

Môžete čakať, koľko chcete,

až pokiaľ budete chcieť tlak uvoľniť.

but only when you want the pressure released.

Skúsme to znovu.

OK, let's try it again.

OK, now, imagine the connection, OK.

Predtavte si spojenie.

Ukážte priamo na jeho čelo.

Point directly at his forehead.

Keď budete chcieť tlak uvoľniť skúsime to znova.

Only when you want the pressure released, we'll try it again.

Dobre, tentoraz to fungovalo, výborne.

OK, it worked that time, excellent.

Podržte ju tam, výborne.

And hold it there, both of you.

Keď budete chcieť tlak vrátiť, urobte gesto smerom nadol.

Only when you want the pressure to go back, make a downward gesture.

You can wait as long as you want.

Počkajte, koľko chcete.

You did it pretty quickly, but it went down, OK.

Urobili ste to dosť rýchlo, ale šla dole, dobre.

Now, I want you to be aware that in a moment,

Sústreďte sa teraz,

keď lusknem prstami, vaše oči sa znovu otvoria.

when I snap my fingers, your eyes will open, again.

It's OK to remember to forget, or forget to remember what happened.

Je normálne nepamätať si alebo nemôcť si spomenúť čo sa stalo.

Most people ask you, "What the hell just happened up here?"

Väčšina ľudí sa opýta: "Čo sa tu stalo?"

But it's OK that even though you're not hypnotized,

Je normálne, aj keď nie ste zhypnotizovaný,

zabudnete všetko, čo sa tu udialo.

you will forget everything that happened.

Na 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, otvorte oči doširoka.

On five, four, three, two, one -- open your eyes, wide awake.

Potleskom ho odprevaďte na miesto.

Give them a round of applause, as they go back to their seats.

(Applause)

(Potlesk)

OK, môžete sa vrátiť.

OK, you can go back.

(Applause)

(Potlesk)

Raz som videl film "Bohovia musia byť šialení."

I once saw a film called "The Gods Are Crazy."

Has anybody here seen that film? Yeah.

Videl ho niekto? Áno.

Pamätáte si, ako vyhodili kolu z lietadla

Remember when they threw the Coke out of the airplane,

and it landed on the ground, and it didn't break?

a pristála na zemi a nerozbila sa?

To preto, že fľaše od koly sú pevné.

Now, see, that's because Coke bottles are solid.

Je takmer nemožné rozbiť fľašu od koly.

It's nearly impossible to break a Coke bottle.

Chcete si to skúsiť?

Do you want to try it?

Good job. She's not taking any chances.

Výborne. Neriskuje.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

Psychokinéza je paranormálne pôsobenie

You see, psychokinesis is the paranormal influence

of the mind on physical events and processes.

mysle na fyzické javy a procesy.

For some magicians or mentalists,

Mágovia a mentalisti

niekedy ohnú alebo roztavia lyžicu, inokedy nie.

sometimes the spoon will bend or melt, sometimes it will not.

Niekedy sa predmety posúvajú po stole, inokedy nie.

Sometimes the object will slide across the table, sometimes it will not.

It depends on how much energy you have that day,

Závisí to od množstva energie,

so on and so forth.

ktoré v daný deň máte.

Teraz skúsime psychokinetický experiment.

We're going to try an experiment in psychokinesis, right now.

Come right over here, next to me. Excellent.

Poďte sem, vedľa mňa.

Pozrite si túto fľašu od koly.

Now, have a look at the Coke bottle.

Make sure it is solid, there's only one hole, and it's a normal Coke bottle.

Skontrolujte, že je neporušená, má iba 1 otvor, je to normálna fľaša od koly.

And you can whack it against the table, if you want; be careful.

Môžete ňou buchnúť o stôl, ak chcete; opatrne.

Even though it's solid, I'm standing away.

Aj keď je pevná, vzdialim sa.

I want you to pinch right here with two fingers and your thumb.

Chyťte ju v tomto mieste dvomi prstami a palcom.

Excellent. Now, I've got a shard of glass here, OK.

Výborne. Tu je úlomok skla.

I want you to examine the shard of glass.

Preskúmajte ten črep.

Careful, it's sharp. Just hold on to it for a moment.

Opatrne, je ostrý. Podržte ho chvíľu.

Držte ho tu.

Now, hold it out here.

Teraz si predstavte dávny rozpadnutý vzťah.

I want you to imagine, right now, a broken relationship from many years ago.

I want you to imagine all the negative energy

Predstavte si všetku negatívnu energiu

from that broken relationship, from that guy,

toho vzťahu a toho muža

being imparted into the broken piece of glass,

v tomto úlomku skla,

which will represent him, OK.

ktorý ho bude reprezentovať.

Berte to veľmi vážne.

But I want you to take this very seriously.

Upriamte pohľad na sklo, nevšímajte si nikoho.

Stare at the glass, ignore everybody right here.

In a moment, you'll feel a certain sensation, OK,

Ochvíľu ucítite zvláštny pocit,

and when you feel that sensation,

a keď ho ucítite,

I want you to drop the piece of glass into the bottle.

vhoďte ten kúsok skla do fľaše.

Myslite na toho muža, toho ba... toho muža.

Think of that guy, that ba -- that guy.

(Smiech)

(Laughter)

Snažím sa byť slušný.

I'm trying to be good here.

OK, and when you feel the sensation --

Keď sa dostaví ten pocit,

it might take a while -- drop it into the glass.

môže to chvíľu trvať, pustite ho do fľaše.

OK, drop it in.

Dobre, dajte ho tam.

Now, imagine all that negative energy in there.

Predstavte si všetku tú negatívnu energiu vo vnútri.

Predstavte si jeho meno a jeho vo fľaši.

Imagine his name and imagine him inside the glass.

And I want you to release that negative energy

Uvoľnite tú negatívnu energiu

trasením zo strany na stranu.

by shaking it from side to side.

(Burst)

(Tresk)

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

To bolo veľa nahromadenej negatívnej energie.

That was a lot of negative energy, built up in there.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

(Applause)

(Potlesk)

Pozrite sa na mňa a myslite na jeho meno.

I also want you to look at me and think of his name.

Myslite na počet písmen jeho mena.

OK, think of how many letters in the title of his name.

Má 5 písmen.

There's five letters in the title.

You didn't react to that, so it's four letters.

Nezareagovali ste, takže má 4 písmená.

Myslite na jedno písmeno z jeho mena.

Think of one of the letters in the title.

Jeho meno obsahuje K.

There's a K in his name, there is a K.

Vedel som to, lebo aj moje meno začína na K.

I knew that because my name starts with a K also,

but his name doesn't start with a K, it starts with an M.

Ale jeho meno nezačína na K, začína na M.

Tell Mike I said hello, the next time you see him.

Keď najbližšie uvidíte Mika, pozdravte ho.

Was that his name? Nicole: Mm-hmm.

Volá sa tak? Nicole: Hej.

KB: OK, give her a round of applause.

KB: Veľký potlesk pre Nicole.

(Applause)

(Potlesk)

Thank you.

Ďakujem.

(Potlesk)

(Applause)

(Applause ends)

I've got one more thing to share with you right now.

Ukážem vám ešte jednu vec.

Chris, chcel som vybrať teba,

Actually, Chris, I was going to pick you for this,

but instead of picking you, can you hop up here

ale namiesto toho, môžeš sem skočiť

and pick a victim for this next experiment?

a vybrať obeť na další experiment?

And it should be a male victim, that's the only thing.

Mal by to byť muž, to je jediná podmienka.

Chris Anderson: Oh, OK.

Chris: OK.

KB: Chcel som vybrať teba,

KB: I was going to use you,

but I decided I might want to come back another year.

ale napadlo ma, že možno budem chcieť znovu niekedy prísť.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

CA: Steve Jurvetson za to,

CA: Well, to reward him for saying "eureka,"

že povedal "heuréka" a vybral jedného z rečníkov, Michaela Mercila.

and for selecting Michael Mercil to come and talk to us -- Steve Jurvetson.

KB: OK, Steve, come on up here.

OK, Steve, poď sem hore.

(Applause)

(Potlesk)

CA: You knew!

CA: Ty si to vedel!

KB: OK, Steve, I want you to take a seat, right behind here. Excellent.

KB: Posaď sa sem Steve. K tomuto stolu.

Now, Steve -- oh, you can check underneath.

Takže Steve... môžeš skontrolovať čo je pod stolom.

Go ahead, I've no fancy assistants underneath there.

Nemám tam ukryté žiadne krásne asistentky.

They insist that because I was a magician,

Nástojili na peknom čiernom obruse,

lebo som kúzelník.

put a nice, black tablecloth on.

There you are, OK.

OK.

(Smiech)

(Laughter)

Mám tu 4 drevené podstavce.

I've got four wooden plinths here, Steve.

One, two, three and four.

1, 2, 3 a 4.

Sú úplne rovnaké, okrem tohto,

Now, they're all the exact same except this one

obviously has a stainless steel spike sticking out of it.

z ktorého trčí hrot z nehrdzavejúcej ocele.

I want you to examine it, and make sure it's solid.

Preskúmaj ho a presvedč sa, že je pevný.

Spokojný?

Happy?

Steve: Mmm, áno.

Steve Jurvetson: Mmm, yes.

KB: Dobre, Steve, postavím sa pred stôl.

KB: OK. Now, Steve, I'm going to stand in front of the table,

When I stand in front of the table,

Keď tam budem stáť,

I want you to put the cups on the plinths,

umiestni poháre na podstavce

in any order you want, and then mix them all up,

a potom ich zamiešaj,

so nobody has any idea where the spike is, all right?

nech nikto ani len netuší, kde je hrot. Dobre?

SJ: No one in the audience?

SJ: Nikto v publiku?

KB: Áno, a aby som ti pomohol

KB: Yes, and just to help you out,

zabránim im vo výhľade, aby nikto nevidel, čo robíš.

I'll block them from view, so nobody can see what you're doing.

I'll also look away. So, go ahead and mix them up, now.

Ani ja sa nebudem pozerať. Zamiešaj ich.

OK, and tell me when you're done.

Povedz mi, keď skončíš.

(Smiech)

(Laughter)

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

KB: You done? SJ: Almost.

KB: Hotovo? SJ: Skoro.

KB: Almost, oh. OK, you're making sure that's well hidden.

KB: Skoro. Vidím, že si dávaš záležať.

Oh, we've got one here, we've got one here.

Oh, to sa ti podarilo.

(Potlesk)

(Applause)

V poriadku, necháme ich tak.

So, all right, we'll leave them like that.

(Smiech)

(Laughter)

Nakoniec sa aj tak budem smiať ja.

I'm going to have the last laugh, though.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

Takže, Steve, iba ty vieš kde ten hrot je, však?

Now, Steve, you know where the spike is, but nobody else, does? Correct?

Ale ja chcem, aby si to ani ty nevedel, takže sa otoč na stoličke.

But I don't want you to know either, so swivel around on your chair.

They'll keep an eye on me to make sure I don't do anything funny.

Oni budú dávať pozor, nech neurobím nič zákerného.

No, stay around, OK.

Nie, zostaň otočený.

Otoč sa späť, Steve.

Now, Steve, look back.

Now you don't know where the spike is, and I don't know where it is either.

Ty nevieš kde je hrot a ani ja to neviem.

Now, is there any way to see through this blindfold?

Je niečo vidno cez túto pásku?

SJ: Put this on?

SJ: Mám si ju nasadiť?

KB: No, just, is there any way to see through it? No?

Nie, iba povedz, či sa dá cez ňu vidieť. Nie?

SJ: No, I can't see through it. KB: Excellent.

SJ: Nie, nič nevidím. KB: Výborne.

Teraz si nasadím pásku.

Now, I'm going to put on the blindfold.

Nepostav ich na seba, len ich ešte raz zamiešaj.

Don't stack them up, OK. Give them an extra mix up.

Don't move the cups, I don't want anybody to see where the spike is,

Nedvíhaj poháre, nechcem, aby niekto vedel kde je hrot.

but give the plinths an extra mix up, and then line them up.

Zamiešaj ich znova a postav ich do radu.

I'll put the blindfold on. Give them an extra mix up.

Nasadím si pásku. Zamiešaj ich.

No messing around this time. OK, go ahead, mix them up.

Tentokrát nerob hlúposti, len ich zamiešaj.

My hand is at risk here.

Pôjde tu o moju ruku.

(Smiech)

(Laughter)

Povedz mi, keď skončíš. SJ: Hotovo.

Tell me when you're done. SJ: Done.

KB: Dobre, kde si? Natiahni pravú ruku.

KB: OK, where are you? Put out your hand. Your right hand.

Povedz mi, keď budem nad pohárom.

Tell me when I'm over a cup.

SJ: Si nad pohárom. KB: Som už nad pohárom?

SJ: You're over a cup. KB: I'm over a cup, right now?

SJ: Mm-hmm.

SJ: Hej.

KB: Now, Steve, do you think it's here? Yes or no?

KB: Tak Steve, myslíš si, že je tu? Áno alebo nie?

SJ: Oh!

SJ: Oh!

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

KB: Povedal som, že sa nakoniec budem smiať ja.

KB: I told you I'd have the last laugh.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

SJ: Nemyslím si, že je tam. KB: Nie? .... Dobré rozhodnutie.

SJ: I don't think it's there. KB: No? Good decision.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

(Applause)

(Potlesk)

(Applause ends)

Keď pôjdem týmto smerom, je tam ďalší pohár?

Now, if I go this way, is there another cup over here?

SJ: Can we do the left hand?

SJ: Môžeme to robiť s ľavou rukou?

KB: Oh, no, no, no. He asked me could he do the left hand. Absolutely not.

KB: Nie, ne. Opýtal sa ma, či to môžeme robiť ľavou rukou. V žiadnom prípade.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

KB: If I go this way, is there another cup?

KB: Ak pôjdem týmto smerom, je tam ďalší pohár?

SJ: Áno. KB: Povedz, kedy zastaviť.

SJ: Yes. KB: Tell me when to stop.

SJ: Stop. KB: Tu?

SJ: OK. KB: There?

SJ: Áno, tu je jeden.

SJ: Yes, there's one.

KB: OK. Do you think it's here, yes or no? This is your decision, not mine.

KB: OK. Myslíš si, že je tu, áno či nie? Je to tvoje rozhodnutie, nie moje.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

SJ: I'm going to say no. KB: Good decision.

SJ: Poviem nie. KB: Dobré rozhodnutie.

(Smiech)

(Laughter)

Daj mi obe ruky.

OK, give me both hands.

Polož ich na oba poháre.

Now, put them on both cups.

Do you think the spike is under your left or your right hand?

Myslíš si, že hrot je pod tvojou ľavou či pravou rukou?

SJ: Neither.

SJ: Ani pod jednou.

KB: Ani pod jednou, dobre.

KB: Neither, oh, OK.

Ale ak by bol, tak....

But if you were to guess.

(Laughter)

(Smiech)

SJ: Pod pravou rukou. KB: Pod pravou rukou?

SJ: Under my right hand. KB: Under your right hand?

Now, remember, you made all the decisions all along.

Pamätaj, ty si robil všetky rozhodnutia.

Psychológovia vysvetľujte.

Psychologists, figure this out.

(SJ gasps)

(SJ si vydýchne)

Have a look.

Pozri sa.

SJ: Oh!

SJ: Oh!

(Potlesk)

(Applause)

KB: Thank you.

KB: Ďakujem.

(Applause ends)

Ak by niekto chcel neskôr vidieť nejaké triky,

If anybody wants to see some sleight of hand later on,

I'll be outside.

budem vonku.

Thank you.

Ďakujem.

(Applause)

(Potlesk)

Thank you.

Ďakujem.

Thank you.

Ďakujem.

(Applause)
