The basic idea of the prank wasn’t new, as other organizations have done it before, but this time, the Magic added one unique twist.
A blindfolded fan was going to attempt a half-court shot for $100,000. While the fan was somewhere in the arena signing the waiver/contract, the audience was informed to start cheering after he shot, tricking him into believing he had just won the money.
;After the fan missed the shot, and the crowd started cheering, they thought they had successfully pranked him — little did they know.
