His videos on social media blow everyone's minds around the world, and we are about to see what mentalist Oz Pearlman can do with our live audience. We wanted to have some fun for the holidays, so take it away and show us your stuff.
Merry Christmas. Everyone hates having me as a Secret Santa for some reason. It's your gift, it drives people crazy. How many of you—and this is a good skill at home to know what my kids actually want—how many of you, be honest, know what you want for the holidays, for Christmas or Hanukkah? Raise your hand if you know the gift you want.
Some of the gift givers, Maureen lifted Dan and said, 'I want something nicer after Ellen on national TV.' I will go with the mic. Raise your hand if you know what you want for Christmas. You've thought this through, and can we get a microphone so we can see? Come on over this way. One more time.
Who does not know what they want, and that's what I'm talking about. Tell us your name.
Stand up and give her a hand, everybody. Victoria, you are the person who is a struggle to buy for because she doesn't know. She wants to be surprised. Victoria, I want you to picture, to start thinking. I will give you time to percolate because you didn't know, and everyone else who knows—I watched it on TV and said it's set up. They knew what they wanted, but you don't even know.
Everyone else, imagine you walk out of our new studios and on the street you bump into someone famous. This is New York City, anything can happen. 'Oh my God, look who it is!' and you turn to who you are with and say, 'Everyone give me a clap if you can see your person.' Let's pick a couple people. Martha, clap too. Stand up.
I think Martha smiled. Anyone catch that? Some energy there. There was a gleam in her eyes. Is it a guy? Definitely a guy. Have you ever met this person before? Never. But you want to, is the feeling.
She is second-guessing and thinking it's too obvious. Close your eyes. Oh my God. Too easy. You should have challenged me. Keep your eyes closed. Can you see it? I love how this woman is like, 'That's what I wanted for Christmas also.'
Open your eyes, Martha. Be honest. Before I ask, moments ago you thought this was just a thought that popped in your head, there is no way. You even debated changing your mind but didn't. Who did you bump into outside? Say it.
I see her getting down to an idea or two. Maybe, maybe. Tell us your name. Stand up for me. One more big clap if you are thinking of someone famous. That was a low clap. The energy was so-so. Right here, this young lady stares me down and tries to look. Tell me your name. Who are you here with?
My sister Robin and my friend Melissa.
Do you think they would know who you thought of?
The sister is not a good listener. Teasing. Stand up. Stand up for me. Zach is being close to the pockets. I am feeling guy vibes versus a romantic interest. George Clooney. I think he went with a guy, and I think he went with someone not the usual form. Am I right?
Or are you a die-hard fan of this person?
You wanted to stop me. No one's going to get this. Think of the first name. Count the number of letters in this first name to yourself. Super fast. That was quicker than Ellen, that was instant. Three-letter names and four-letter names you don't count. You know, it's three letters, isn't it? Sit down if it's been stellar.
Victoria, it just hit me. It just hit me. Close your eyes. Yes. I can feel it. She didn't even know what she wanted, this was a reach. Open your eyes.
When you give people time to think of things, they start to fill in more blanks. If I asked you what you want for dinner, maybe sushi, maybe steak—what sushi place? They start getting deeper. I got it. You are being very specific. You said you didn't know what you wanted for Christmas, but you've been wanting it for years and didn't realize it. Open your eyes. Tell me what was the first thing. What were you going to go for? I didn't want this, but I will say it anyway.
What I actually chose? A wiener dog.
