Worlds collided for Howie Mandel on Tuesday’s “America’s Got Talent,” when quarter-finalist Eric Dittelman organized a mini-game of “Deal or No Deal” as part of his act.

Dittelman, a mind reader, vowed to correctly predict which case Mandel, with help from Sharon Osbourne and Howard Stern, would choose.

So, did it work out?

Let’s just say Dittelman got a well-deserved standing ovation from all three judges.

    I believe each case said both things, and whichever one he opened, he knew how to open it so it would say “this is your case”. Then, the card, if you watch closely, his thumb is where the number is (and then his index finger on his other hand) before he reveals his “already chosen number”, and he is using his thumb, then finger, to slide across a strip with all the numbers on it and stops on the number that was chosen by the judge before turning it to the crowd. Great trick, just answering the question you asked of how do you think he did it. That’s my guess, and it sounds like it makes sense. That’s why he could have them dismiss cases, switch cases etc. and he was so confident, because it didn’t matter which case was picked.

    My take….The suitcases have two plastic areas (I believe it was even visible in the closeup at the end) One reads “no deal” and one reads “you will choose this case”. Therefore, no matter which case is chosen, and whether Howie chose to switch or not, you can open the case to reveal the desired outcome. When Diddleman grabs the card to show that he knew Howie would choose case 4 you see him kind of fumbling with his right hand…he was sliding numbers in a window slot to read the appropriate number.

    I agree with you guys. As to how the case works, notice all the cases are held upright constantly and consistently. That is, until the final case is chosen. Dittelman turns the case horizontal, allowing gravity and probably a magnet to open the new message. So far, all his tricks on AGT have been fairly simple. Maybe he’ll be hired for birthday parties.

    I agree with his simplicity. I could tell how he did it right away. I bought my son a magic kit that had that same trick in it when he was 7. OI can’t believe that no-talent went through. Lame.

    I want to know…in the begining case 10 blinked. I am wondering if that had a way to get the audience attention. It could have been the lighting.. but I think there was something to direct his attention to case 4. A switch of the case is too simple. I think he is beyond that!

    it was just lighting, see above for how he did it.
