"Right, yeah, fair enough."

"So! The video. Did you come up with any tricks to show off yet?"

"A couple. I've been trying to get something that isn't obviously true to sorcerer clans who might look at it in passing."

"Could be some famous magic trick. Getting out of handcuffs, or maybe making someone disappear."

"Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines. Or levitating someone."

"Wires, right. Levitating and handcuffs, we could make it a full routine. Do you think it should just be one person doing the tricks?"

"I'm not sure it makes a practical difference but if someone decides to go trigger happy about it it might be best to have a single target."

"...based on that, it should be me or Alistair. We're more recognizable. He's from a sorcerer clan, I'm the Cardcaptor. You're independent." 

"I'm not sure that follows, though. If Alistair is recognized, people will think this was his family. If it's you, they'll think it's Clow's plan or they'll think you're an independent."

"I don't know how sorcerer clans think...if it looks like it's not real magic, they leave us alone. If it looks like real magic but like we're just dumb kids who want the prize, they might ignore it, right? They don't know we want to reveal everything." 

"I don't think they'd ignore it, if anyone wins Randi's prize that will be international news."

"Oh. How much is it?"

"A million dollars, but it's more that it's sorta famous for being the prize everyone who's ever claimed to be supernatural failed to get."

"Okay. So it should be one of us, not Alistair."

Pause.

"How do you think your mom would handle the attention?"

"I don't think she'd care much for it."

"I think you're probably better on camera...but I can do it if you want to keep attention off your mom."

"I can do it, yeah, I think that would be best."

"Are you going to write a script? Stiles will probably want to help with that. He's been feeling a little left out."

"Yeah, and I'd welcome his help, it'll be fun."

"The handcuffs should probably be real. I'll tell Stiles to bring some. Levitating doesn't need props, right?"

"It doesn't—why does Stiles have handcuffs? My mind is going terrible and awesome places."

"Sorry, my bad. His dad's the sheriff."

"That's way less fun than I'd hoped."

"I don't know, I don't think he would be the one with the handcuffs anyway."

"I believe that may be more information than he'd want you to share."
