Harris on Ellen Show

Neil Patrick Harris (Barney in 'How I Met Your Mother') is doing amazing magic trick on Ellen

Neil Patrick Harris.

Hi.

All right. Um, so and now, cos you do magic, and now you are doing mind stuff?

Well, you know, I’ve been on the show before and you always asked me to do some sort of fun trick for you.

Erm, I like them.

I juggled swords once. (Yes.) I chopped my own head off once. (Yes, we got lots of stories about that.) Sorry, kids. What we did, so, look at that. (Yeah) There’s (an) actual picture of it. (Yeah) That’s the before. Don’t show the after.

The after, we actually get people going "I can’t believe you cut his head off". People really tell we cut his head off.

Magic is hilarious. So I thought I would do some mental magic, stuff that’s safe. But I’ve been working on, you know, "the amazing crescan", they always think and can do things with their minds, kind of like Heroes. And sooooo, I started practicing with like a spoon. (Enhr.) You can actually watch very closely, ready?

I don’t fall for that one.

You don’t fall for that one. Now I tell you why, because this spoon has a hinge, see?

That’s right. I don’t fall for that one.

Not the best but... There’s actually, I actually have a better one. Now, this is a good stuff.

All right.

I packed a Light Lunch, get it? No, this is a light bulb. (Yes. I did.) Just a regular light bulb we could see. (Yes.) You wanna touch it? (Yes.) See it’s real. Nothing’s crazy about it. (OK.)All right, you get your eyes shot on this.

What? How did you do that? How did you do that? It’s freaking me out.

The illuminated light bulb trick.

Yes.
