I put ‘magic trick’ in quotation because I know for a damn fact that this dude has no reason to get that close to ScarJo other than the fact that he wanted to. I’m sure he would have been able to unleash his sorcery on the world without the Eskimo kiss.
That said, I respect the hell out of this move by magician and Dracula’s modern, vaguely Latino cousin Dan White. Scarlett Johansson is newly single, she’s appearing on The Tonight Show the same night as you, and she loves magic. I believe it was the great Mahatma Gandhi who said that “shooters shoot,” so you have to respect White’s effort here by pulling up from three.
Plus, I mean, call me crazy, but ScarJo seems like was feeling it. When White asks if she felt anything, her response would have KO’d the whole magic show on site if it was. Forget the cameras and Fallon’s goofy ass, I’m asking for a number right there.

F*ck, man, maybe I should have been a magician. I always thought chicks would find the magic folk a little strange, but the proof is in the pudding. If it’s good enough for Scarlett, it’s good enough for the rest of them.
I also want to take a second to remind everyone how unbearable Jimmy Fallon has become. Am I the only one who’s shocked he’s still doing this faux-enthusiasm thing? You’d think that with Colbert mopping the floor with him, he would pivot his strategy a little bit. But nope! He’s still perpetually clapping and giggling like a slightly slow six-year-old who’s having his feet tickled with a feather.
