What you're about to witness can be dangerous, attempting to result in

Don't try this at home.

On this episode of Believe.

We are going to

Cabo, Mexico.

Oh yeah. The challenge though, let's make a...

Yep. Your reputation's on the line. We're going to have to create miracles.

Chris had an injury to his shoulder.

You have basically three areas that have some problems.

I'm going to be doing a lot of crazy things here in Cabo. Is it, like, bad?

I am here in Cabo, and I was asked to create something big, something

that's never been done before.

One, two.

Chris Angel, believe.

You need to work on that tan.

I've been here two months.

This is all I can do. I just can't tan.

Oh, my God. What's up, man? How are you?

What's going on? You doing good? What's up? Oh, my God. Hi.

Hi. How are you?

Hi. How are you doing? You have to do something cool. Do something cool.

Oh, it's like a monkey? No, it's a lexicon. Do something.

Do you have a ring on? No, no, no. Do you ever ring anybody?

I'm going to try to do something cool.

Take a look at that ring.

Look at that ring. See that?

See that?

Watch.

Do you have all your water?

No. Do you have all your water?

oh my god

Let's work on your tan now.

Inside the ice cube is the ring. Not broken, wrapped around the ice cube, the

ring that the girl gave him. It was amazing.

This is my ring.

There's nothing wrong with it. There's not.

I can't explain it.

We've been working so hard for so long. It's time we take a work and vacation.

I'm in this attire for good reason. Pool party.

Not a pool party. It's better than that, my friend.

We are going to Cabo, Mexico.

Yes, we're all going to go. I've never been. This is not just a vacay, okay?

Officials from Mexico were at my show last night, and they were absolutely

away when they saw me make a motorcycle up here on my show. And now they've

invited me and my team to come up with a demonstration that I can do in Kabul

that will blow everyone's mind.

They said, can you come out here and just do some crazy demonstrations?

I said, yes.

So now I'm thinking big, and I thought of the biggest thing.

that I've ever done in my career.

Let's make a ship here. Oh, that would be cool.

And let's do it so close to the shore that people can

see each other from the beach, on the boat. Wow.

How are we going to do that?

Every normal method you would think of, I'm going, can't do that, can't do that,

can't do that. And here it is. Let's raise the stakes.

I'm going to employ a prediction technique I use in my live show, Believe

Luxor. What's the motorcycle you're thinking of?

What?

In my live show, I let the audience member choose which of my bikes they

to make appear.

I'm going to do the same thing with this demonstration, only this time it will

be with ship.

That's really cool.

Let's raise the bar one more.

I'll throw something into the crowd.

Whoever catches it will come forward. I will make them vanish and

instantaneously reappear on the ship that just appeared.

Beef. away from the shore.

Chris is really making this thing extremely difficult.

Not only does he want to make a ship appear out of thin air, but he wants to

a teleportation to the equation.

The difficulty level increases exponentially, and this he called a

Typically, we would have a lot of production, you know, thrust and

maybe a stage. That is exactly what, to me, makes the stakes so high here. To

create... An experience that they'll never forget without having all our

and whistles. Your reputation's on the line.

Well, yeah, I can't disappoint.

I got to over -deliver. I got to raise the bar even higher.

We're going to have to create miracles.

We have a lot of camera gear that has to be shipped out.

I have to find a contact down there who can hook me up with all these people.

You want me to do your job? You want me to tell you about all my concerns about

making a f***ing ship appear feet away from the beach? Do you want me to talk

you about... My concern is there.

I'll be in touch, Spiro. Don't f*** us up. I'm not, I'm not.

Fincavo. Hasta luego.

Hasta la vista.

Adios.

This demonstration features four ships in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. A randomly

selected spectator will choose one of the ships for Chris to make appear.

Chris will attempt to teleport a spectator from the shore to the ship.

Category of magic.

Appearance.

May you win lots of money right here at the Love Store.

I'm going to use your glass over here, okay?

The challenge, can I take these four quarters and literally

get them in that shot glass without lifting

the outer glass?

That's the challenge, right?

To make it even more difficult, I have a marker here.

I'm going to ask you. What's your name? Courtney. Courtney, pleasure to meet

you. I'm going to ask you, hon, to do me a favor.

And I want you to sign both sides of that quarter for me. Both sides of the

quarter. Just sign them for me.

Perfect. All right. I'm going to take that.

Let's show that to the camera right there. There's the C that looks like an

We'll put that right over here. I'll take the marker.

Actually, you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to ask you to open this

napkin up, and I want you to just open it up, and we're going to take that, and

we're going to utilize that as our little bell.

Nothing's in the glass, correct? Nothing there, right? Okay, good. I just want

to be completely fair with everything.

Now, check it out. Here's the first coin. I'm going to do it slowly for you.

First coin will be right over here.

It's a quarter, right? They're all quarters.

I want you to see. It's going to happen really, really slow. Watch.

Look, look. You can see it's in there. Is it in there? Yes or no?

Yes, it is.

Now check it out. I'm going to do it again. This time I'm going to do it even

slower. Watch.

It's going to happen right over here in this vicinity. Watch.

I'll do it really. Watch.

Right there.

Now check it out.

Here's coin number three.

Coin number three. Now you might think that this has something to do with me

having fleas. I'm going to pull up my fleas just like this so you can see

Look.

Oh, my God.

Now,

you see, it fell kind of to the side right over there. It fell to the side.

see that? It's right over here on the side, right?

Now, here's the last one. Here's the last one with your initials. Here it is,

your initials.

Now, this is what's crazy.

Open up your hand.

Open up your hand. Watch.

I'm going to do this really slowly. Close up your hand. You hold on to it.

let go under any circumstance until I tell you. I want you to imagine yourself

taking the coin that's in your hand and throwing it to the glass. Do it right

now. Throw it to the glass. Throw it.

Three.

Right there.

It was in the glass. I was like, what the hell?

It was so freaking awesome. Like, it was something I have never seen before in

my life, ever.

No, it went through two. No, it went through two. It went through the glass

the jack glass. I was like, what?

What just happened? It was crazy. It was craziness.

Topple is just a few weeks away.

But there's something I need to get checked out first.

During the double straitjacket escape in Times Square, when I was escaping, I

felt something strange in my shoulder, but I had so much adrenaline, I just

didn't pay any mind to it.

And now I feel this excruciating pain, and I don't know what it is and if it's

serious or not.

So I'm going in to get an MRI to see what's going on.

All right, Fred, you ready?

Yeah. All right, let's get you going here.

You want to just remove everything from the waist up, and then the gown opens to

the back.

My understanding is that Chris had an injury to his shoulder, and as a result

that, we're doing an MRI scan.

The MRI scan is a machine that allows us to look at the detail of the shoulder.

In order to get better detail, we'll be doing an arthrogram, where we actually

put a needle into the shoulder joint and inject a contrast or dye so we can

better define the shoulder joint.

We're going to take pictures, and you see this white stuff here?

That's the dye that was injected.

We're going to see if it leaks out and if they rotate a cup tear or a label

tear.

I just want to know what the issue is, if there is an issue, and

what I have to do to fix it.

And hopefully it's just physical therapy.

This is a horrible injury that's only going to get worse. This is as bad as it

gets.

And I was asked to create something that's never been done before.

And are you ready to see that?

Most people freak out when they're in a confined area and they can't move and

then they want to move and then their body plays tricks on them to mis -move a

little bit and then a little bit turns into more.

So for me, I don't allow myself to even go there.

I just kind of put myself somewhere else.

Since my double straitjacket escaped, I feel excruciating pain in my shoulder.

Maybe it's just, you know, like a strain, and, you know, it just kind of

away. I should be excited about the trip we're taking to Cabo, but I'm about to

get the results of my MRI, and honestly, I'm really concerned.

The white is the dye that we put in. Okay.

It's leaking out a little bit across here, and you can see if we come down

oh, it's only about a millimeter.

left space.

Only a millimeter?

Only about a millimeter of tissue left there. So you've got a very, what we

would call a high grade tear. It's not complete, but it's very close to being a

complete tear.

There's a separation, a contrast separation here.

And so that contrast separation is another tear that's more posterior.

So this is a completely separate?

It's a completely separate area.

Completely separate area. And then you also have some injury to your biceps a

little bit. You can see that this is part of your biceps muscle here. So you

have basically three areas that have some problems.

I think that this is something that, because of the line of work that you're

and the difficult things that you do, you probably need to at least talk to a

surgeon about this, Chris. I'm sorry to tell you that, but I think it's very

important for you to...

Get this taken care of and make sure that you don't get a more severe injury.

Not the news I wanted.

I'm really sorry to have to tell you that.

This news is a complete shock and at a time when we're preparing for one of the

biggest demonstrations in my career.

My team right now is confirming the method I want to employ to attempt to

the ship appear. And I don't have the option of being a no -show. For me,

an injury like this is a pretty significant

obstacle.

I'm just not happy about this. This

couldn't come at a worse time.

You've got Cabo up there, and I think I know what you have in mind, but tell me

it isn't so.

For the Cabo ship appearance, it's great to see that Spur's excited and he's

getting a jump start on the location.

But my biggest concern is that he's not fully comprehending what the location

needs to be. It's the marina.

All right, so we can put, look at all these boats.

Right, we're going to bring some boats in and out? That's the problem. We want

one boat to appear isolated.

You've got all these other boats there. You were told to get a cove. Let me show

you. Okay.

All right, so that's perfect. Further up the cove.

That's exactly what I want. The only problem I have with this are these

Look how they're jugging out here. Don't worry about that. That's the magic side

of things. Yeah, but look how dangerous that looks. If you get the boat that

close to the rocks, it's going to run aground. If we can make a boat appear in

there, we can make the boat be safe. Okay. When we get there, you should

have it, have the permits for it. Find out who owns that. I will.

That's the first thing I'll find out. If it looks like the way it appears, I'll

get a permit and we'll lock it down. Make it happen. All right, bro.

See you later. Get out of my chair, man. I got faith in you. Yeah.

It's all about focus if you want to be a great magician. It's all about

concentration. The Kabul demonstration is a few weeks away.

But while I'm still in Vegas, I'm going to blow people's minds.

Like, watch, I'll show you something. Jesse, check this out. Watch.

See that?

You see the light that's going out? Look.

I'm serious.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

It was the most extraordinary thing I've ever seen in my life.

Wow.

I don't believe in crap like that, but I saw this, and I felt it, and I'm on the

other side of the table. Now, what do I do with that?

Oh,

my goodness.

Oh, man.

One of the craziest things is...

actually see something like five feet away from you just floating in the air.

Oh, man.

I felt the energy through my whole entire body, through my toes. It made my

hairs jump up on my arm.

I definitely believe in magic now.

a little behind.

Okay, bye.

Finally, we're on our way to Cabo. I'm getting a head start with my friend

Nathan Burton to make sure everything's good to go before my team arrives

tomorrow. Even with my shoulder bothering me, I'm actually starting to

really excited.

This is going to be a challenge for me because I'm going to be, you know,

testing my ability and the team will be tested to see what can we really do in

another country.

Without all of our... My team and I have work to do, but I also want to blow off

some steam and have some fun.

For the next five days, I'll try to block out the fact that I may need major

surgery as soon as I get back to Vegas.

We're here in Cabo, where in five days I'll attempt to make a ship appear.

I almost canceled the trip due to some shoulder issues, but since city

have invited me and my team to come up with a demonstration that I could do in

Cabo, there's no way I'm going to disappoint my fans.

As a fan, I've had the opportunity to meet many celebrities,

and the worst possible thing that can happen is to be blown out of the water

because they're an ass.

I will never be that ass to any of my fans. Without them, I'd never be here.

I'm going to be doing a lot of crazy things here in Cabo. I'm going to be

things in town.

I'm going to be doing things on the beach. I hope you come support me

I'm here to support Cabo.

I love you.

It must be surreal that someone talks to you for maybe 10 or 15 seconds and they

remember that for the rest of their life and they tell somebody else and they

tell their family. You know, to be in other countries and have people know

name and wait at the airport, you know, I don't take that for granted, man.

What's up?

The Sandoz Hotel will be our home away from home. And even though we're getting

reports of an offshore hurricane, the weather right now is perfect. So we're

going to hit the town and have some fun. Welcome home, senor. Thank you so much.

Wow.

Heaven. Look at this.

Beautiful. Thank you to Javier and to Ramon for hosting me here. To an amazing

experience here in Kabul.

So get ready for a ride. It's going to be local.

It's time to... Come on!

You watch that show a lot. You saw your face.

What's going on, man?

I'm supposed to actually have a meeting here. I don't want to hurt anybody.

Can you do a trick? I mean, I know you're doing a trick.

Can you do a trick?

Please? Please, come.

Come. I'll give you time, man, to do a trick. Listen to me. I have a deck of

cards. I'll just do something really quick. Okay, okay, okay. Check it out.

I haven't done anything yet. Okay, okay, okay.

Look, I want you to see. Look, check it out. It's a deck of cards. It's a

regular deck of cards, right?

Honestly, fair?

Fair? Is it fair?

Yeah. Now, this is what I'm going to do. We're going to try this. I'm going to

go through. I want you to get a card in your mind. Just get one card. Just go by

your instinct. Don't tell me what it is.

Okay? Okay. Now, watch. Now, watch. Now, watch. Now, watch. Look, look. We're

going to get you in the action.

I want you to... Look, we have... Look, don't touch the lobsters because they'll

rip your arm out.

I want you to touch... Just point to a lobster for me. Point to one.

Just point to a... No, no.

You want her to do something? You do it. You do it. Let me do it. Let me do it.

Let me do it. Okay.

Let's go down.

That one right there. The big one. Yeah. All right. Now watch. Watch. Your card.

Your card. It's not on top. Right? That's not your card. And it's not on

bottom. Right? Yeah. It's somewhere in the middle. Right?

Now watch. Watch. Watch. Watch. Watch. It's going to happen. Watch. Watch.

That's the lobster right there. Yes? Yes. Watch.

You see all the cards laying on the loft seat?

Now watch. Now watch. Watch. Check this out. Check this out. What was

the card?

What was the card that you picked?

Five diamonds. I got the retro five.

The J5.

J5. What you got? Five of diamonds.

And I was thinking that the lobsters were psychic or something like that. I

didn't even think that deep into it. I was just like, what does my card have to

do with this lobster? But then all of a sudden, he flips the lobster up from the

belly up, and there goes my card that I picked. And it was crazy.

I'm like, what?

That was crazy.

It was amazing. It was amazing.

That's all I got to say.

That's crazy.

That is crazy.

You can have that, man.

Spiro, you're killing me. Doug, we got to find out, man. We need the boat. I'm

telling you, these are not the right boats. We're wasting our time.

The rest of the team is off having a good time. And the biggest thing we

need to deal with is the ship. And Spiro and I have very different opinions on

what a ship looks like. We're going to be doing a major stunt in two days.

this boat be available for use in two days?

This is a ship appearance, not a skiff appearance.

Oh, no, this is not a good note. I'm serious. Doug, Doug, it's off.

Yeah, look at these guys, dude.

Don't worry about it. I got this under control.

I don't know what Doug's problem is. Back in Las Vegas, he's the most

guy. And now that we're here in Kabul, we're supposed to be relaxed.

He's stressing out. I like how Rubio fuses Bolt for a big stunt.

Okay. The only thing this party boat has in common with a ship is that they both

float.

Spiro's the location guy, so I don't expect him to fully get it.

But an illusion like this depends a lot on scale. So the boat we use needs to be

really big.

I'm afraid for my life.

Are you serious?

Wherever I am in the world, the number one thing I get asked to do is to

levitate.

Coming up. We've got a great location, but the weather sucks.

It just doesn't look like it's going to happen today. We're going to have to

postpone it.

Is it, like, bad?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Get him carefully. Gently, gently. Watch.

I'll do it slowly for you. Watch.

Watch. Just hold. Hold it. Just like this. Just hold him. Hold him. Wait, are

you giving me crabs?

No, I'm not going to give you crabs. Watch.

Ready? Watch. It's going to go just like that. See that? It's gone.

Well, here's another option, Doug.

Check this out. What do you think? Chris wants to do this boat illusion, and

time is ticking.

Chris is very popular in Mexico.

There's going to be pandemonium. There's going to be a huge crowd.

Somehow, I have to find the location that can handle it. We've got a ramp

down. We've got our gear in here.

We've got a wide open sandy area here. It's sort of enclosed, and it's got a

good open feel to it. This is good. I like it.

Every once in a while, just when I think Spiro has his head firmly planted up

his ass.

He comes along and delivers a beauty location like this. I like this

Good job. Good job.

Tomorrow, I'll attempt to make a ship appear out of nowhere here in Cabo San

Lucas. I am so stoked to perform in Cabo. It's such a great landscape for

magic. But this time, instead of me being the subject of the trick...

I'm going to make it happen to somebody else.

Hey, Bruce, make me vanish.

Make you vanish.

What's your name, man?

Alex. Alex, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, Chris. All right, cool.

Can I try something with you, Alex?

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, yeah? Yeah. Come over here, man.

Come over here.

Do you mind getting a little dirty?

No.

I'm okay.

You're okay?

Yeah. We're going to try something.

This is what I want to do. I want you all to kind of come in over here. I want

you to see it's completely clear. Leave the camera so we can kind of come in.

What I'm going to do, Alex, I want you to see if it's an ashtray, right? I want

you to see.

Solid, yes? Yeah. Right? You can see completely solid floor, yes? Yeah. Yeah?

This has been at the hotel for how long?

For a while, right?

Ten years.

Ten years?

Okay. So I want you to go in here for me. Face the audience this way. Go in

here. Can you go in? Yeah. Yeah, go ahead. Just jump in there.

Let's see. This is like the Houdini milk can, except I'm not going to get in

there. Watch. Be careful. Be careful. Face the audience, okay? Now, I want you

just to relax, okay? All right. You're going to go. Can you fit in there? Can

you actually fit in? Come around. Come around. I want you to put your hand on

the lid. Watch.

We're going to try something.

We're going to try something right here. Now, put your hand. Put your hand on

top there. You kind of come. Now, are you in there? Just bang on that. Just

push. Do it again. Let me hear you.

You are there, right? I'm here. Okay, now watch.

Watch. Come over here. Ready?

Now!

Look! Right up there!

I got a great location, but the weather sucks.

It doesn't look terrible here. We do have a little bit of protection from

mountain here. You know, doing magic outside, weather is really a big factor.

I know as we were further over by the hotel, though, huge, huge waves crashing

in. Mother Nature can never give us a break. There's a hurricane warning, and

might not be able to pull this thing off.

It just doesn't look like it's going to happen today. We're going to have to

postpone it. So I need you to go and talk to Chris and just tell him that

not going to be able to do this today. I hate doing that, man. You know that.

We have to reschedule it, you know? I got you a good location, but I can't

control the weather. Talk to God.

Yeah, I know. Well, we still got time for that. So, you know, look, I'm hoping

the best. I bust your chops a lot. I know you do. You know, I love you. You

know, I love you. You got to make this happen.

OK.

Hey, how are you?

Hi. Nice to meet you. Hi.

How are you? Fine.

What's your name?

My name is Claudia. You are beautiful, Claudia.

Look at you. My God.

Hi,

how are you? Very nice to meet you.

Very nice to meet you.

Listen, the crew's waiting for us, so I want to, like... The crew?

Yeah. Don't worry about the crew. We're going to do something with the girls.

You want to see something with the girls?

All right, girls. See what you're going to do. Come over here for a second.

We're going to take both ends, okay? Just like this.

And we're going to raise them up. Now, grab your end.

Grab your end and pull it. Taut. Nice and taut, okay?

You got it nice and taut. Keep it there. Nice and taut.

Now, check this out, Spiro. You want to know where the crew is?

I'll show you where the crew is.

Right? No!

Drop it!

Drop it!

Right there.

Right there, Sparrow.

There's your crew.

There's your crew.

Right here.

It was crazy.

I see this jet ski up here on the beach with a bunch of people, and I was like,

holy... What the hell?

Good job, Sparrow.

Coming up. I want you to imagine yourself being on one of these amazing

Fortunately, the storm has passed, and I made the right decision calling off the

demonstration yesterday.

Right now, I've got to attempt to make a ship appear out of nowhere.

If I'm successful, this will be the largest appearance of my career.

something big, something that's never been done before.

And are you ready to see that right now?

Now, check it out. You notice we have some some jet skis circling right over

here. They're going in a circle, the jet skis. I want you to make note of that.

There's nothing there. And I'm going to need a couple of people to help me out.

I have a wristband right over here.

I'm going to take the wristband and I'm going to toss it out there.

Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.

Who has it?

There she is. Come up here. Give her a nice round of applause.

Hi, how are you?

Do me a favor. Go get somebody else. I need one more person. Whoever you want.

Anybody at all.

Don't get anybody you know. Completely at random. Just get somebody right now.

There she is. Give her a round of applause.

Okay. Do you have a camera? A phone?

Do you have a phone?

Perfect. Okay. What's your name?

Andy? Okay, Andy. And you are?

Star. Star?

Yeah. Okay, we got Andy and Star. So what you're going to do, you're going to

sign her hand, okay? Sign her hand. Come over here and sign her hand for me.

Sign it big so everybody can see that.

Okay, good. Perfect. Show the camera.

Andy. Okay?

Good. Now, you have the camera. Take it out of your bathing suit. Can you

record? Just start recording.

You're going to get an opportunity to see what no one sees. You're going to

behind the scenes, okay?

Show everybody here. You guys are right over here, yeah?

Good.

Okay, you're going to come over here. Stand right over here for me. Good.

there. Folks, there's absolutely nothing out on the water except for four jet

skis going clockwise, right?

Right. Now watch this. I brought some boats on some umbrellas I'm going to

with you right now. Check it out.

We have the Duke.

The Duke is a clipper ship, okay?

Over here, it's actually a sailboat. Over here, we have the Prince, right? An

ocean liner. And then over here, come over here, Jesse.

We got the Cabaret right over here. This is a cruise ship. And last

but not least, we have the gorgeous luxury yacht.

All of these ships have been all around the world. Now, what I want you to do is

I want you to imagine yourself being on one of these amazing ships, okay?

Get one ship in your mind.

Just one.

Visualize yourself on the ship, okay?

Okay, you have it? On the count of three, I want you to yell out what ship

is, okay?

Okay, everybody help me out on the count of three. You're going to say one, two,

three with me, all right?

Here we go. On a count of three.

One, two, three.

Cabaret. No.

Right.

My fifth appearance was a success, but now I've got to meet with a specialist

about my shoulder.

Hey, Doc, how are you? How are you? Great to see you. Good to see you. The

results of my MRI were a nightmare, but hopefully my injury is something we can

repair with physical therapy.

I know you injured your shoulder a while ago, but this is much, much worse.

Your bicep has come out of the groove.

The rotator cuff tendon is pulled off the bone here. That's one of your

injuries. You tore another tendon called your subscapularis tendon. That's

another injury.

But the other thing, too, you've also torn the labrum here, too, this year.

And this helps control stability in your shoulder so it doesn't dislocate.

But is it, like, bad? Is there some meat there that I can wait a bit to do this?

This is an emergency. You have to fix this. This is a horrible injury that's

only going to get worse. You cannot wait.

You cannot wait. This is as bad as it gets.

I can't.
