Hi, I'm Lior Suchard, a mentalist, which means I can read your thoughts.
This time at CBS headquarters, where I'm on the way to meet my friend James Corden
and, in a twist, show him some of my mind tricks
so he can amaze his staff.
[gasps] - [screams, laughs]
LIOR: Hope no one gets hurt.
LIOR: James. CORDEN: How are you?
I'm so excited. - So nice to see you.
Yeah. - Thank you for being here.
This is amazing. I'm excited because, you know, I thought to myself,
"You know, we know each other."
Yeah. - You should trust me by now.
I trust you as much as any of my other friends
who read people's minds. So, yeah.
Which are none. - Zero. Yeah.
Okay. Here's what we're gonna do: we're gonna go outside,
uh, we're gonna visit some people.
Who work here at The Late Late Show?
LIOR: Yes. - Okay.
You're gonna be the mentalist.
Uh-- LIOR: I'll be there to support you.
Just trust your intuition.
LIOR: Cool? Let's do it. - Okay. Yes.
All right. Okay. - Let's do it. All right.
All right, let's try, uh, Emily here on reception.
Ah!
Hey, Em. EMILY: Hi.
How are you? - Good. How are you?
LIOR: Hi. - You've met Lior before.
Hi. Yes. - Hi. How are you?
Good. How are you? Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.
Um, you actually don't need me. I'm going to prepare for the next act.
Okay? Thanks. - [Emily chuckles]
CORDEN: Okay, take a pen. EMILY: Okay.
CORDEN: Uh, take a pad. EMILY: All right.
Okay. And turn away from me, that's it. There.
Yeah, no, no. You're a bit-- That's it.
Okay. - Okay. And now look at me.
Look at me very closely. Okay, here's what's gonna happen.
I'm gonna draw on here what I think you are going to draw.
[laughs] Okay. Mm-hmm. - Okay?
And I'm gonna draw...
Okay, I'm pretty sure this is what you're gonna draw.
Okay. - So, just look at me and you draw it.
Okay, you go. Draw, go!
Okay, show me what you drew.
[laughing] Oh, my God.
I'm so good at this!
All right. We're gonna see Brian. Is Brian in here?
[knocks]
Brian? - Oh, hey, James.
CORDEN: How are you? Are you good? How nice to see you.
How you doing? - BRIAN: Thank you.
Okay.
I want you to think of your first crush.
BRIAN: Got it.
Okay, so look at me. Just look at me.
LIOR: [whispering] Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.
CORDEN: Really keep looking at me.
Okay, try and visualize the name. See the letters, see the whole thing.
I'm sending it to you.
I can feel it. No, oh, I can feel it. Just keep sending it as best you can.
Is it okay if I touch you? Okay. - Yeah.
Really send it through my hand. Okay.
Okay, tell me the name of your first crush.
Jennifer.
[screams, laughs]
Hey, man. LIOR: What did you do?
Well, Brian told me the name of his first crush.
But you know what's so interesting is that I'm gay,
so why didn't James think of a man?
[Lior sighs]
CORDEN: God, I feel alive! LIOR: Yes!
CORDEN: I feel absolutely alive.
Cece, how are you? - Hi. How are you?
CORDEN: I'm good. You know Lior. Cece, here's what we gonna do:
I want you to think of any guest who's been on The Late Late Show,
but really think about it.
Really try and see the letters of their name.
See it, see it. See the person.
'Cause I'm seeing a color somewhere.
Okay, tell me the guest you were thinking of.
Jack Black.
[gasps]
How'd you do that? - Not telling you.
That is crazy. - I'm telling you.
That's amazing. - Take it easy, Cece.
Just another day at work. - Wow.
CORDEN: [laughing] That was ridiculous!
LIOR: It was good, huh? CORDEN: That was ridiculous!
There's one last thing we need to do.
I was so worried you were gonna say that.
It's in your office. It's really in your office.
CORDEN: Hello. How are you?
LIOR: Do you know what this is?
CORDEN: This is a stapler, yes?
The industrial ones.
Okay.
So, these are, these are...
Why has the whole mood changed in this room from when we were here before?
It felt a really happy, joyful place and now there's a paramedic here. [chuckles]
Can we call some people in? Maybe we can get some, uh, viewers.
Hey, guys. Do you mind joining us for a second, everybody?
You can also come. Everybody. Yeah.
Just, uh, stand anywhere. Uh, these are...
Hello. Hi. Hi.
So, these are empty. So, don't worry.
CORDEN: Okay. - They're all empty. They're all--
The clip is out, they're empty. This is the dangerous part. This is the...
Oh, my God, that's a brutal staple.
This is a brutal staple.
Okay. - And... where do you want to put it?
Which one? Just point it. This one?
CORDEN: Mm-hmm. - Okay. The staples are gonna go here.
CORDEN: Mm-hmm.
LIOR: All the rest...
So what we're going to do, uh, we're gonna mix them.
Okay. Yeah. - LIOR: Okay? Okay.
Tell me when you're done. Just change some.
You should turn around as well, so you don't know.
Only James will know. Only James will know, yeah.
Okay.
We're good? - Yeah.
So, you know where it is? - CORDEN: No.
What do you mean no? - I've forgotten.
[laughter] - Genuinely, I've forgotten.
Really? - [chuckling] I'm not lying.
I've absolutely forgotten.
Is that a problem?
Uh, no, I mean we can-- we can continue. So, I'll mix them now?
Yeah, sure. - And you're not looking.
CORDEN: Okay. LIOR: Okay, so I'll...
This is here.
Uh, you can turn around. Remember, trust your intuition.
One of them is loaded. Point to the one that you think is safe.
This one? - CORDEN: Mm-hmm.
This one is safe?
I think so. I don't know.
You think or you know? - I think.
You should know. - I don't.
[laughter]
You do it.
[laughter]
What am I doing, pushing down? - Just push it down.
[stapler clicks] - [woman gasps]
LIOR: You were right.
[exhales sharply]
LIOR: You were right. It's safe. Okay.
Point to the one you think is safe.
That one.
This one? - CORDEN: Yeah.
It's safe. For sure. - You feel it?
All right, thanks.
[inhales deeply]
[stapler clicks]
LIOR: Safe. Safe. - [laughs]
CORDEN: [exhales sharply] Oh, my God.
Now, it's which one is not loaded.
That one. - LIOR: This is how a mentalist works.
This one? - CORDEN: That one.
This one is safe or this one is-- - This is safe. This is safe.
This is safe.
Do you want to change? - No.
I know it's safe. - I trust you.
Oh, my God.
You said it's safe, James.
It's safe.
[stapler clicks] - [sighs]
LIOR: Oh, my God.
[applause]
Oh, my God. James, this is the one.
Oh, my God. [laughs] Oh, my God.
I don't know what to say. You are a true master mentalist.
Not without you. That was incredible.
Oh, my gosh. - [applause]
Thank you so much. - I'll never forget it.
