“Mr. Monk and the Magician” · Season 7

In this episode: Karl Torini (3), Adrian Monk (2), Natalie Teeger (2)

[Torini is at a backroom in Bangkok talking to some drug dealers. He's taken the ringleader's watch]

[To the ringleader] I'll trade you: your watch for... [cups his hands, and when he opens them, a little chick comes out] ...this chick.

TTranslator

He says, "give it back".

Awwww! Don't you like chicks! [Hides the chick. The ringleader says something more threateningly]

TTranslator

He says he will make this bullet disappear in your skull! Where is the watch?

That's a good question. Why don't you ask him? [Points to one of the other henchmen, who has suddenly acquired the ringleader's watch. He hands it to Torini, who then hangs it over the barrel of the ringleader's gun. The ringleader puts his gun away and produces some bags of heroin] How much?

TTranslator

70 kilos. It is our biggest shipment yet.

[Torini and Tanya are rehearsing for Torini's next show]

Applause, applause, applause. [Holds out a birdcage] Different music cue, show them the cage. [The cage pops and vanishes] It's gone. Oohs and aahs from the audience. That's when you bring on the cabinet. [Tanya wheels on a cabinet] You wheel it on. Turn it around slowly. Let them get a look at it.

TATanya Adams

Like this?

You open the cabinet. [Opens the curtain to reveal that it's empty] Nothing inside! You step in there- [Kevin comes in and Torini sees him] Who's there? [Kevin raises his hand] Dorfman, what are you doing here? This is a closed rehearsal!

[At Kevin's funeral, Monk and Natalie are looking at a photo of Kevin]

That's a nice picture.

I took that picture.

Oh.

Took me two hours. I wanted to get one where he wasn't talking.

Ha, well, you did it.

Actually, I had to Photoshop it.

[Experimenting with one of Torini's knives, Monk checks to see if it's a real knife or not by using it on Natalie. She immediately yelps as soon as the blade contacts her]

OW!

OK, this one might be real. Don't play with this one.

All right, I won't.

[Monk notices something nearby]

What is that? [He walks over to the cabinet to examine it, and suddenly Torini's voice comes booming over the loudspeaker]

[Over the speakers] It's called a Zig Zag Cabinet. I designed it myself. [Monk starts to examine the Zig Zag Cabinet more closely] Please step away from the cabinet, Mr. Monk. Secrets of the trade, you know.

[Monk and Natalie spot a machine producing fog in the other room. Torini pops up behind them and clears his throat]

How did you do that?

Misdirection, Ms. Teeger. The secret to every illusion - making the audience look where they shouldn't be looking. [Faces them] For example. [Conjures a coin out of thin air]
