This is World's Greatest Con. I'm Brian Brushwood.

There's this moment.

It might have been waiting to find out if you got the job,

might have been asking someone out on a date and waiting to hear back from it.

You might be defending your PhD thesis, but I am convinced that the feeling of this moment

is absolutely universal and every single one of us has had it.

I call it the moment of surrender.

And the one thing, the only thing that's peculiar about mine

is that it was

was broadcast on national television and you can watch it right now.

On the scale of 1 to 10?

Uh, negative 5.

I just want to make them smile. They're smiling right now.

Well that's the worst smile I've ever seen.

Looking over at Parentella, I can see they've come to the end of their deliberations.

I'm on stage in Las Vegas.

Network television cameras are rolling all around me.

There's a studio audience waiting on me.

It would be an understatement to say that there was tension thick in the air as my artistic

heroes Penn and teller are about to pass judgment on me.

It's that moment of surrender that's often the most telling about a long project, right?

You've done all the hard work.
