5.27 "Magic Touch" Official Play-By-Play

Based on the synopsis, this could be one of the most 'magical' episodes in DEAL US history. But there's also a cameo appearance. Pay attention.

In this episode, the models are in sleeveless, mostly red dresses.

Meet Jennifer Gelband. She is a magic superfan, who is also a big fan of Penn and Teller (who also had a TV series on SHOWTIME, called Bulls**t years back). She also learned to do magic and (with an assist from the '27th model'--who brought out a balloon and spear and exhibited a magic trick. Guess what? When she stuck the spear through the balloon, I thought it was going to burst. Yeah right. It went through. PLEASE, for the sake of humanity, do not try this at home. Then the balloon pops.

For her such case, she picks #3, Katie Luddy brings such case for just the second time ever.

6 to open:
14: $100,000 "Kinda magical."
6: $400
26: $25,000
21: $300,000
10: $300
7: $50,000

So-so start. Let's see what the Bankress will do, and she calls. The first offer is $24,000. So high. However, will she counter here this early? NOPE. NO DEAL.

5 to open (after the media time out and Jennifer's wants and needs):
22: $500
8: PENNY!
19: $10,000
11: THE MILLION.
23: $200

Good round, except the million. Bankress calls. The new offer went up to $31,000. Slightly higher. Counter here this early? But first, the supporter's corner. In Jennifer's corner, is her younger sister, her mother, and her grandmother. No counter, NO DEAL.

4 to open:
1: (with some magic): $400,000
20: $10
16: $500,000
4: $75

Rough round. After the media time out, a new offer. Howie gets a magic wand and directs it towards the entrance to the arena. And PRESTO! It's none other than Penn Jillette himself! Like he said on Bulls**t: "You need to shut the f**k up!" Penn, the more vocal half of Penn and Teller appears, and offers a chance to fill in for Teller. He also brought out a cigarette lighter, while model #27 brought out a bottle with what appears to be some liquid and some fire sticks. Teller points a stick towards the lighter and it's lit like a fire ball! He then puts the fiery sticks in his mouth and fire lights in and out of his mouth. Remember, do not try this at home. Penn later joins the supporter's corner. Bankress calls. The offer dropped to $25,000. Will Jennifer counter here? She will, for $72,000. Less than three times the offer. Bankress calls for her verdict: NO DEAL. Let's play on.

3 to open:
2: "I can hope I can work some magic for you." $200,000
15: (with some magic) $1,000
25: (after the media time out): $750,000. THE END.

Tough round. If I'm Jennifer, I'd get out of here after this offer from the Bankress as she calls: $3,000. Rock bottom from previous offer. Eight cases in play: Jennifer's #3, plus 5, 9, 12, 13, 17, 18, 24. The $75,000 is the highest offer left. To be safe, Jennifer gets out of here. DEAL.

But where was the $75,000? It was in #5. Jennifer's case had $750. #9 had $5,000. #18 had $50. #12 had $100. #24 had $5. #17 had $1, and #13 had $25.

Better to be safe than sorry. But there's another game to be played. But first, Penn has an offer Jennifer couldn't refuse. He offered her a trip to Vegas to see a Penn and Teller show. The models re-enter the fray with different apparel: maroon, silky, satin, spaghetti strap dresses, the way it should be.

Meet Tony Combs. A local from Orlando, grew up minutes from Universal Studios, where the show is taped. He is a nightclub promoter, and you know how nightclubs are taken very seriously in all of Florida. Here we go again, another cancer survivor as a contestant. Nothing wrong with that.

For his such case, he picks #7. Jordana de Paula brings such case.

6 to open:
15: "One penny" x 100,000.
11: "One penny" x 50.
4: "$75." Not that close. $500,000
26: (wants a penny) Gets $5 instead.
2: $25
14: $25,000

Reasonable round. Bankress calls. First offer is $13,000. Counter this early? No way. NO DEAL.

5 to open (after the media time out):
18: $10,000
16: Wants $300, that's 1000 times more.
6: $100
3: $75,000
19: (testimonial) $1!

What a round! Except the $300,000, it was a good round. The Bankress calls. The offer tripled to $39,000! In Tony's supporters corner is his mother, his uncle, and a friend from his high school days. Will Tony counter here this early? Nope. NO DEAL.

4 to open, with the million still up there. His game continues Wednesday. 8pm Central. CNBC. GET YOURS.
