Steve Draun presents his version that has a surprise ending that instantly resets - perfect for walk-around engagements - and Daryl presents his routine with knivesof his own invention that ends with an unbelievable finish that leaves the knives in an impossible condition that can be examined by the spectators.

Pocket knives are interesting personal objects and, while they're not commonly carried as they were in Walter Jeans day, people are still aware that they don't magically change color or size or appear and disappear at will.
