AI GeneratedPaul Featon, known as \"Fantastic Fig,\" is a 76-year-old psychic magician who performs alongside his cat, Newton. A former successful attorney, Featon now focuses on close-up magic, utilizing a quirky persona and his feline companion to surprise audiences with card tricks and eccentric behavior.
My name is Paul Featon and my nickname is Fantastic Fig because I am a psychic magician
and this is my cat Newton. I started entertaining when I was a child.
Then I became an attorney and I became very successful representing like
Jimi Hendrix. Being an attorney is fun but it's not as much fun as being a magician.
I can do tricks that no one else can do. That makes me a master of magic.
Wow, that's all I can say. You got the kitty on your shoulder,
you got the ladies surrounding you, the sequins.
We're going to go on stage and we're going to blow the minds of all of the people out there.
Well go ahead, you have the magic.
What is your name?
My name is Paul Featon aka Fantastic Fig and my cat is Newton.
What do you do for a living?
I'm a full-time magician.
Are you married?
Only to my cat.
Work your magic on us.
I will.
Any one of you, think of a card.
You want me to name it?
Yeah.
Ace of hearts.
Okay, that's because you've got a good heart.
Wow, that's amazing. That's pretty good. Well, I wasn't expecting that.
Me neither.
Sharon, would you like to name a card?
I would love to.
What does the cat have to do with this?
Ace of spades.
Okay, I'll do it slow because most magicians do things so fast because
their hands are quicker than your eyes.
But my hands, because I'm older, aren't that quick.
So if I do it slow, I give you your ace of spades.
What card would you like?
The jack of clubs.
Okay, well that card I can't get, unfortunately.
Why?
Because that card happens to be in my cat's ear.
It's time to dance.
I had me and then you confused me.
Cards appear.
That was wonderful.
I didn't know how it happened.
I love the bizarreness of you just having a cat for no reason at all.
I love that.
Well, I can't do any tricks without the cat.
And then you just danced.
I don't understand why.
Don't feel bad.
I don't understand either.
Oh, okay.
The girls wanted to dance.
You're one of the weirdest people I've ever met.
I've heard that before.
But I've got to say, the card trick was brilliant.
Thank you.
For that reason and the fact that you're still dancing at your age,
which is just commendable.
76.
Yeah, I'm going to say yes.
Okay, no to the dancing.
Yes to the magic.
That card trick, I've never seen that before, have you?
I just like the cats.
How does he know what cards we have?
I know.
We guessed some random ones, right?
Yeah, absolutely.
You're going to Vegas, though.
You can bring them, just don't dance.
First up is the oldest act in the competition.
76-year-old Fantastic Fig and his cat, Newton.
I'm real curious to see what Fantastic Fig's all about.
You know, see if he's a real magician
or just someone to kind of make fun of what we do.
Name a card.
Five of spades.
Five of spades happens to be a card that's in my cat's ear.
I knew one of you would be saying the five of spades,
so in case you had said the five of clubs,
I would take the five of spades and hit it five times.
One, two, three, four, five, and then it would be the five of clubs.
Wow.
You can't be doing a card trick like that.
You gotta, you know, bring something to the stage that's pretty impressive.
It's not true magic.
He's good with the card tricks.
He's a good close-up magician,
and he's trying to make something out of close-up magic.
I don't know that close-up magic is a headlining act.
