Willis Dysart from Los Angeles, California: “I will glance at each of these bills…and add up the serial numbers in my head”                  
Garry has collected four one-dollar bills from the panel at the start of the show.  Dysart has a remarkable, self-taught ability to add and multiply large numbers without pencil and paper.  He first gained widespread notoriety from a 1938 Ripley’s Believe it Or Not feature in which he was dubbed “Willie the Wizard.”  Since then, he continued to demonstrate his ability in live performances such as trade shows, and on other television programs.    


Howard Anderson from Alexandria, Virginia: “Garry switched the panel’s money…the bills he returned to them are counterfeit”
Anderson works for the Secret Service in Washington, DC and makes speeches and presentations about the problems law enforcement agencies face with counterfeiters.  Coincidentally, he and Garry are childhood friends.    


Special guest Ray Bolger:  “Garry and I will do a dance routine together”                  
Using simple split-screen trickery, we see Bolger’s feet and Garry’s top half combined into a single dancing figure.  Later, Betsy participates with Bolger as well.
