00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.120
The 1st thing I ever saw you perform was
when you shuffled 2 decks together.

00:00:04.140 --> 00:00:07.779
You memorized 106 cards! I saw you do it!

00:00:07.799 --> 00:00:09.480
That was FFFF 2011.

00:00:09.660 --> 00:00:11.664
That's what you call the Rainman routine.

00:00:11.684 --> 00:00:13.540
I won the 1st prize for that in France

00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:18.220
when I did the national championship.
In the movie with Dustin Hoffman remembers

00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:19.774
6 decks during playing Blackjack.

00:00:19.794 --> 00:00:22.180
That's what made your
routine believable. We know

00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:24.116
that there is a skill called memorization.

00:00:24.136 --> 00:00:25.960
It becomes very believable that you have

00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:29.440
trained yourself to do this, which is why
I totally fell for it. And I ask a few

00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:32.880
guys around me. I need to pick someone
that's going to come quickly to the stage.

00:00:32.940 --> 00:00:35.097
Everybody said, Paul is
going to be the nicest.

00:00:35.117 --> 00:00:36.580
It was actually so nice that

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:40.900
he almost destroyed my routine!
There is a moment in the routine when I do a mistake

00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.429
on purpose. He was so nice,
he didn't say anything.

00:00:43.449 --> 00:00:45.220
So I was like, hmm, that flies? Okay,

00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:46.240
we'll keep going.
