Yep, Steve Carell knows how to work that talk-show magic.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone star swung by Chelsea Lately Tuesday, where he talked about getting into character for his magician-themed flick opposite costar Jim Carrey.

As Chelsea Handler wondered aloud just why certain women might be attracted to particular types of magicians—sparkly outfits and spray tan and all—she decided to have the funnyman put his magic skills to the test by having him show off a sleight-of-hand trick.

And that he did, as the 50-year-old actor breezily pulled off a classic trick involving a ball and three cups, much to the host's amusement.

"And all the women want to sleep with me now!" he raved, to which Chelsea quipped: "Spray tan or no spray tan, now you can get chicks because you have a ball of three cups."

Encore, please?
