Dakoda was scared of the lights at first, but edged forward onto the stage. Shuffling her worn deck of cards, she looked around, trying to take in the thousands of people sitting in the seats, cheering and clapping. Jack made his way over to her, revving up the crowd. He looked toward Merritt who was looking in the crowd for people to mentalize.
"Do a card trick," Jack whispered.
Dakoda nodded and started doing a few simple but entertaining tricks.
After a while, Daniel called the attention of the crowd.
"And for our final trick-" Daniel started.
"-we are going to rob a bank!" Henley finished.
Dakoda looked over at Daniel, eyes wide in horror. She jogged over to the closest person, Henley.
"Are you guys out of your freaking minds!? Robbing a bank?!" she fiercely whispered.
"Just go with it, we've done this before," Henley answered, walking toward the center of the stage. Dakoda nodded and walked around the stage, selling the trick as best she could, trying to hide her own doubt. She walked backward to where Daniel was, waiting for Jack, Henley, and Merritt. When Henley got up to the stage, she pulled a thin, black piece of silk from her sleeve, which the trough into the air once everyone was where they were supposed to be.
The silk seemed to have a mind of its own, floating around, 'building' a machine of unimaginable importance.
"Now we will pick a random person from the room to rob a bank of their choice." Daniel explained.
Merritt and Jack looked around, trying to select an unsuspecting person.
"You," Merritt said, pointing at Dakoda.
"What?" Dakoda asked, "Me?"
"Remember what I said? Just go with it," Henley reminded her.
Dakoda took a deep breath and nodded. Merritt walked over to her and 'mentalized' her. All he really did was tell her to choose JPMorgan Chase & Co for her bank.
"And awake!" Merritt stated, snapping his fingers.
"And what bank would you like to rob, Dakoda?" Jack asked.
"JPMorgan Chase & Co," Dakoda replied.
Jack nodded and placed a helmet like thing on her head, with a camera and headset attached.
"This helmet will let us see and hear whatever you see and hear. So, just step up onto this platform, if you will," Daniel explained, helping her up onto the top platform of the machine.
"Okay, when we press this button, you will be magically transported to your bank," Henley explained.
"1-"
"-2-"
"-3"
Henley pressed the button, and in a blink of an eye, Dakoda was gone.
Dont forget to ask Dakoda a question!
