[00:05:50]You're the great comedian.

[00:05:52]>> Because we love you.

[00:05:54]>> Howie Howie just asked me, "Why is everyone laughing?" I said, "Cuz he's a great comedian, isn't he?" Big round of applause for Howie.

[00:06:02]>> Hey, big round of applause. Great comedian.

[00:06:11]Howie, do me one more favor. Point one finger towards your face, please. Then look at your finger. It's the strangest thing to do. Look at that finger. Let that finger touch you on the face, please. When that finger touches you on the face, you'll go back to sleep. It'll be stuck to your chair, but you'll go back to sleep all the way down. The judges might have shaken your hands, but they were very, very clean. And they did.

[00:06:28]>> I have to confess, I went to the bathroom. Uh, and I >> I forgot. I forgot.

[00:06:36]Howie, take a deep breath and you will not go back to sleep any longer. Wide awake.

[00:06:44]Clap it up. Howie, listen, I could sit here all day with you. I was thoroughly entertained. I hit the X. I apologize. It just took so long to build up. But I say yes. I'm the first vote. I would like to put you through. Howie, what do you say? Yes.

[00:07:06]>> I don't know.

[00:07:07]>> You don't know. You're a judge.

[00:07:08]>> I don't.

[00:07:09]>> Doesn't matter. You know why? Because once you see the playback, you're going to kill him anyway. So, it doesn't matter. Go ahead, Mel. What do you vote?

[00:07:16]>> Oh, I have to say yes.

[00:07:19]>> Heidi, >> incredible. Definite. Definite yes.

[00:07:22]>> Oh, we'll see you again. Thank you.

[00:07:24]Thank you all for sticking around.

[00:07:32]I'm Nicholas Wallace and tonight I will be attempting to contact the other side.

[00:07:39]>> Now, do you believe in ghosts?

[00:07:42]>> Yeah.

[00:07:42]>> So, when was the first time you knew you had this talent?

[00:07:49]>> People have stories and history, but also things have a story and history.

[00:07:56]Even as a kid being in an old house or an antique shop, I would feel a connection to these things and and the stories behind them. Where someone might just see a fork, I might see someone's last meal.

[00:08:15]>> Why is there a creepy chair with a sheet on it? Oh my god, that is not okay.

[00:08:21]Today I brought an item that's very special to me.

[00:08:25]And tonight I'm going to bring the judges into close contact with the other side.

[00:08:35]>> Good evening.

[00:08:36]>> Hello.

[00:08:36]>> Hi. What is your name?

[00:08:38]>> Uh my name is Nicholas Wallace.

[00:08:40]>> And what do you do?

[00:08:41]>> I dabble in the strange and unusual.

[00:08:45]>> So are are we about to be uh frightened?

[00:08:49]>> Perhaps.

[00:08:51]All right. Well, dabble for us.

[00:08:52]>> I will. Thank you.

[00:08:59]>> Most people believe that the Quinty Hotel was haunted, but they were wrong.

[00:09:03]It wasn't the hotel. It was an inconspicuous piece of furniture.

[00:09:11]It was an old rocking chair. No one paid any attention to it until an elderly guest was found dead in the chair. It was soon after that the happenings began. Guests reported hearing whispers, the pitterpatter of feet running across the floor and more death. Now, the death was always ordinary. There are heart attacks or strokes or car crashes, but they always happen to those who stayed in the room with the chair. The Quinty Hotel burnt to the ground a few years ago, and this chair is one of the few things salvaged from the fire, and now it belongs to me. So, who wants to have a seat?

[00:09:55]>> Not me.

[00:09:58]>> Gabrielle, >> would you like to join me up here?

[00:10:08]>> Hi, Gabrielle.

[00:10:09]>> Hi, Nick.

[00:10:10]>> Pleasure to meet you. Have a seat.

[00:10:18]Right. The way back. Sit right back there. Perfect. Sit right back on the chair like that. Hold your arms up like this. Take a deep breath in and out.

[00:10:24]Just your arms there. Perfect. Just listen to my instructions. You'll be fine. So, these strange happenings were always reported in the dark. So, I'm going to uh create a little darkness for you. We're going to blindfold you. Okay.

[00:10:40]Just going to tip your head forward a little bit.

[00:10:44]I've also brought with me tonight an old doll found in a different part of the hotel. And this doll and this chair seem to have some sort of connection.

[00:10:59]So, Gabrielle, just leave your hands where they are for a moment and be still. Right now, I just want you to be aware of this sensation right here. I want you to remember this feeling.

[00:11:08]The next time you have this feeling, you're going to very slowly raise your right arm into the air.

[00:11:28]>> And when you feel the sensation return, very slowly, let your arms sink back down.

[00:11:45]Be very very honest. Raise your hand if you can feel this. Hand back down.

[00:11:53]Raise your hand if you can feel this.

[00:12:03]And back down.

[00:12:05]I'm going to do this one last time. This time, Gabrielle, I want you to raise your hand the instant you feel something touch you.

[00:12:13]>> I'm not going to speak now until it happens.

[00:12:31]Hand back down.

[00:12:38]I'm going to let you stand up and stand right up.

[00:12:44]Thank you so much.

[00:13:00]I literally do not know how that happened. Before you even came out and I saw the setup, I was like, there is going to be some ghost stuff happening.

[00:13:08]And then she sat in the chair and I got nervous for you. And then the doll came out.

[00:13:16]I don't know what that was. That was magic. That was death. I don't know what it was, but it happened. Obviously, I'm not making any sense right now.

[00:13:26]>> No, just confusion.

[00:13:28]>> Whoa.

[00:13:30]>> You are a ghoul.

[00:13:34]>> If I was to say you're creepy, that is the best compliment I could give you.

[00:13:39]Really creepy. Really weird. You got possessed by a doll.

[00:13:44]>> Let me hear your comment.

[00:13:45]>> Uh, I got touched a bunch.

[00:13:50]That's that I mean I don't I put the blindfold on and it felt like I got touched. I don't know.

[00:13:57]>> You are amazing. I love your presentation. It was haunting and we should vote because I'll I'm scared to I kind of want you to get out of here and take the chair with you.

[00:14:09]So, I'm going to vote yes because I want you to be happy with me.

[00:14:14]>> Yes.

[00:14:16]>> I loved it. So, three yeses.

[00:14:17]Congratulations.

[00:14:29]>> Call me in the quiet.

[00:15:04]>> Can you sit here please?

[00:15:11]>> Two legs on this side. Very good.

[00:15:18]>> Are you ready?

[00:15:19]>> Yes.

[00:15:20]>> One, >> 2, 3. Close your eyes.

[00:15:41]You know, Are you in your And it will go for this.

[00:17:23]Thank you.

[00:17:30]Baby, >> so from watching this show, as I love America's Got Talent, I realized that you, Simon, and Howie are bffs.

[00:17:55]>> We love each other.

[00:17:55]>> We do.

[00:17:56]>> I know from watching the show.

[00:17:57]>> We actually do. But they say a friendship will only last if they have a subconscious connection. So I want to test out your subconscious connection up on stage right now. Simon and Howie in front of America. So come on, come up.

[00:18:18]>> Lovely to meet you, son. Lovely to meet you. You good?

[00:18:22]>> We've never done this before.

[00:18:23]>> No. It's like an amazing date.

[00:18:25]>> It is. I'm really nervous. Scream if you guys need help. We'll run and get you help.

[00:18:30]>> Thank you.

[00:18:31]>> You ready?

[00:18:32]>> Yeah.

[00:18:32]>> Perfect. So now, as you can see, I have two decks of cards here and a blindfold.

[00:18:37]So, Simon, you're the boss. So, choose the red deck or the blue deck.

[00:18:42]>> The blue deck. Perfect. So, as you can see, we'll get rid of the box. These are all different. Yes.

[00:18:48]>> Yeah.

[00:18:49]>> Perfect.

[00:18:52]>> Face down like this for you, Simon.

[00:18:53]Yeah.

[00:18:54]>> And now, how are you get the red deck?

[00:18:55]Okay, >> we don't need the box. As you can see, these are all different. Yes.

[00:18:59]>> Yes.

[00:18:59]>> Incredible.

[00:19:01]>> Now, I'm going to place these face down.

[00:19:02]Now, the reason for this is cuz it's going to be your subconscious choice of choosing a card. So, highlight your finger over the deck for me like this, both of you. And go left to right for me. Left to right. Over the deck. Do the same. Left to right. And I want you to look each other in the eyes for me.

[00:19:14]Whenever you want, place your finger down on one card in your own time.

[00:19:20]Perfect. And Howie, what one do you want?

[00:19:22]>> This one.

[00:19:23]>> Perfect.

[00:19:24]>> Okay. Now, this is the thing. If you had a connection, then these two cards must match. So, take the cards. Don't look at them just yet. Take them. Pick them up.

[00:19:34]Don't look at them. Hold them against your chest. On the count of three, you're going to show the audience. 1 2 3. Show the audience.

[00:19:43]>> Have a look. Have a look. Have a look. A perfect match. There we go. Right there.

[00:19:48]A miracle. Incredible. Amazing.

[00:19:52]>> But wait. See this where it gets interesting because I want to take this a step further. So Howie, here I have a blindfold. Please could you put this on for me?

[00:19:59]>> Okay, >> perfect. Now Howie, I'm just going to touch the back of your hand. You don't mind, do you?

[00:20:07]>> Not the back.

[00:20:08]>> Can you feel this pressure here?

[00:20:09]>> I do feel that.

[00:20:10]>> Good. Howie, take a deep breath in and out. We're going to see whether you two are connected.

[00:20:13]>> Do you feel this pressure, Howie?

[00:20:15]>> Yes.

[00:20:17]>> Good. Take a deep breath in.

[00:20:20]Now, Howie, you're doing great. When you feel this pressure come off, raise your hand slowly to a height of a wine bottle. Only when you feel this pressure come off.

[00:20:28]>> Okay.

[00:20:30]>> Interesting. Howie, when you feel this pressure come back down, when you feel this pressure come back down, place your hand back down to the table.

[00:20:37]>> Okay.

[00:20:42]>> Amazing. But wait, but wait. That was me controlling your mind. We're going to see whether you're in sync. Simon, it's in your hands. Point like this, Simon.

[00:20:50]Whenever you want, you're going to control how his hand. Just raise your hand slowly in your own time.

[00:20:54]>> So I'm controlling how >> whenever you want.

[00:21:09]This is incredible. Perfect. Thank you so much. How are you doing? Great. Now I've got you two in sync. I want to try the last experiment to see whether you are actually subconsciously connected.

[00:21:17]Simon, as you can see, I have loads of things here, right? Yeah.

[00:21:20]>> Now, I want you to choose one of them.

[00:21:21]Any one you want. Just choose one.

[00:21:23]>> Perfect. We're going to get rid of that now.

[00:21:25]>> Yeah.

[00:21:25]>> Hold it in your right hand like this for me.

[00:21:28]>> Now, Howie, turn your right hand, palm towards the sky for me. Now, just in your imagination, you imagine holding something inside your hand. You focus on the texture, the color, the shape of this thing. Do you imagine something inside your hand now?

[00:21:39]>> Yes.

[00:21:42]>> What do you imagine holding?

[00:21:48]Uh, cookie.

[00:21:51]>> A cookie. Take off your blindfold and have a look what I've just handed, Simon. A cookie. There we go. You guys have a subconscious connection. Look at that.

[00:22:29]>> How long is this going to go on?

[00:22:31]>> Well, okay. Uh, well, look, why don't you just get on with the app?

[00:23:39]We've actually had instances that at the wrong moment where she's looked at somebody and they've fallen out of the seat or gone to sleep. So now we tend to keep her out of the way until she's needed.

[00:23:52]We're going to show them something that they never see before. The world's only K9 hypnotist.

[00:24:00]>> Okay, I've got to see this.
