Mentalist Oz Pearlman, who hosted the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner Saturday night, is revealing the magic trick he performed on Karoline Leavitt moments before shots were fired.
Pearlman was seen speaking with the White House press secretary and First Lady Melania Trump, who was sitting next to President Donald Trump, and then showing them a mysterious piece of paper. Moments later, they all ducked to the ground behind the table on stage, before Trump and Melania were rushed out of the Washington Hilton ballroom.
ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl later caught up with the mentalist, who revealed what was written on the paper.
“Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary, said, ‘Challenged me. I’m having a baby next week.’ We were talking about it because we both have children, and she goes, ‘Can you guess what I’m naming my daughter?’ And so this was happening backstage,” he said. “We were interrupted because the president walked in. And so I said, ‘Let’s save it for when we get up on the dais.'”
Pearlman later went on stage to introduce himself to Trump and Melania, and that’s when he performed the magic trick on Leavitt, with the president and first lady also watching closely.
“I was coming to say hello to the president and to the first lady, and I was guessing letter by letter how many letters were in [Leavitt’s unborn child’s] name,” he recalled. “Then right at the moment where you see it happen, I wrote down the name and I said, ‘How did I do?’ And I turned around and that’s when you see the first lady go, ‘Oh! Is that the name?'”
However, before Leavitt could confirm if Pearlman was correct, a gunman stormed into the ballroom shooting...

Tomorrow Candace will reveal that “Mossad agent” Pearlman was giving the signal to start the Israel-directed attack.
So.. basically... He’s a jester?
Not Leavitt, the girl was on Trump’s left, 2 seats away, no one in between.
Are you referring to “Weijia Jiang, the Senior White House Correspondent for CBS News and the President of the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA).“ - Google
Bingo that is right question I’m guessing there is a trick to it
Yes, that's her. She looked like she felt left out, and made exaggerated gestures to be noticed and included.
“I wonder who the girl 2 seats away from Trump was”
Me too.
I think she later came to “the sticks” to explain what was happening/going to happen.
Well spoken she was...
see post 26
Yep, that's the chicklet I saw. She did a great job.
Carly Thomas needs to get facts and or stop with lies
Why gunman wasn’t hurt? We know he exchanged fire with SS because one of them was wearing a vest and not injured, as per DJT description of what happened. The perpetrator was shown to be on the floor and apparently not physically damaged. That begs the question: can the SS agents shoot straight? Do they train with real bullets or with paintball guns? We know they shave their heads but are they all cross-eyed?
That is the woman who tried to get inside trumps protective bubble as they were leading him away. She was blocked
I actually felt sorry for her. I suspect that the main job of the President of the WHCA is to plan and execute the dinner. Having it blow up in such a fashion has to be devastating after a year of working on it.
Jiang was a beat reporter in Baltimore a few years ago. As I recall she was a solid reporter. I’ll bet that she’s gotten a new and better opinion of Trump after this debacle.
I'm more interested in how he does it.
I haven’t seen whether he was right
I’ve seen him a couple times before and have no idea how he does it. But he’s always right
It is surely a memorable experience, crawling toward safety literally on hands and knees in what is certainly an outrageously expensive gold dress.
Thus fled the head table participants not important enough to be escorted away on foot by the secret service
I’m amazed by him too. Some of the stuff he does with the football teams is astounding.
Just one of many:

How is he a scammer? He’s quite open about how he does what he does. He doesn’t profess to be a “mind-reader.”
The oriental gal is Weijia Jiang, CBS.
