Bullets catch. It's impossible. No. Just magic. Ah. Hm. Hello, everyone. Thank you. All right. Thank you. Earlier tonight, J. Daniel Atlas promised to return the Heart Diamond to its rightful owner. But before we do that, some introductions are in order. First, let's say hello to the fierce force of nature, the extraordinary June Mooclaire. Wow, hello, everyone. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you. And give it up for the indomitable BOSKO LEROY. The pleasure is ours. Hello, gorgeous. And of course, we could not have done any of this in the first place without the help of the world's greatest magicians,
the four, sorry, MAKE THAT FIVE HORSEMEN. Thank you, everyone. Wow. Uh You know, we have entertained, well, dazzled audiences all over the world, but we have never been part of a trick like this. And you may be asking yourself, how did they pull this off? Okay, well, every magician needs an assistant. Veronica? You may think Veronica here, as Peter Vanderburg's sole heir, is the rightful owner of this diamond. But, here's the twist. Peter didn't have one child. He had two. That's right. And that other child cheated death. And landed in New York City. enticed and lured some of the most brilliant minds he could assemble, laying the groundwork for a trick unlike any other.
Which brings us to tonight. Make some noise for the mastermind behind all of this. Our best friend. A ghost. Until this very moment. Charlie Vanderburg. You know, I said I'd enjoy taking you down, but this is more fun than I anticipated. a sad, empathetic man. And you are nothing. Oh, hold on, everyone. One sec. And you never will be. What's that? understand how you pulled this off. You don't understand. Veronica doesn't seem to understand how she found herself in this position. Well, let's explain it to her.
You see, the finest magic preys on assumptions that the car waiting for you was the same one that dropped you off. That an act of Mother Nature is nothing but And that a vault in the desert isn't just smoke and mirrors. That a gun isn't filled with blanks. And that an elevator is just simply descending into Earth. If you want to trick the master of deception, you have to manipulate her reality. And for our last trick, why don't we make Veronica disappear? No!
