Teller is really good at communicating with just his face. 8:34 Teller’s head perks up when he heard the keyword “window”. 8:39 Teller looks sympathetic because Adam starts nodding, so he assumed Adam understands the hint that they weren’t fooled. 8:50 Teller looks almost sad, in a “better luck next time buddy” way. That’s why at 8:57 he’s genuinely surprised!
I compared the two signatures side by side. Not the same. Color is different. The box is different. Letters are different. Adam Wilber is a bad forger.
Why do you guys always ruin the ending by putting the ending in your title? I'm guessing you go to movie theaters and yell the ending so everyone can enjoy the movie better don't you?
Don't know if you'll see this, Adam, but you were the first magic act I saw on Fool Us and got me hooked on it. I am actually working on creating something for P&T myself as time permits, so I just wanted to say "Thank you".
So... he had 3 multisecond possibilities to write four letters into a pre-arranged box on a 100 dollar bill. how long would you need to write 4 letters? 3 seconds? 5 seconds? i dont know what a window is, but also it seems weird that the contestant was "randomly" preselected. and happened to have a 1 dollar bill in his sock, exactly ONE mind you, while wearing a rolex. wouldnt you hide your rolex if you were hiding a single 1 dollar bill in your sock? "TONY" what a good name to fit into a small box. you could prearrange everything if you just randomly found a "Tony" in this huge crowd. so really... i dont know the exact method, but i think i can do the same performance with those two mentioned ways, or am i missing something?
Adam is an unbelievable performer. This is not an act, he’s a great dude and the only thing better than his story telling ability is his magic! Just wow.
I like how people in the comments think they figured it out from a video when Penn and Teller, who were there and got to inspect the case, were fooled. As if you guys know things about magic that P&T don't or thought of something they didn't.
Penn shouldn't be allowed to do this fishing shit of asking probing questions about the act before guessing how it was done. It's cheating. Yeah obviously if you can keep asking questions and narrowing down the list of possible ways the trick could be done you will eventually end up with the right one. That's a bad faith approach to a competition like this.
So happy I found this video. Looking forward to getting these five books to boost my creativity and hopefully create some awesome new ideas. Thank you Adam!
It seems to me, that's a lot of (relatively) large items for a strolling, close-up gig? I used to busk (not strolling) and I brought with me about as much stuff and a bag almost that large. So, I am curious to know ... where do you put the bag while you are strolling? How often do you pull from your bag? Yes, I love watching the experiences of magicians (rather than more "tricks"). So I would love to see videos of you "out in the wild" :) Greate video1 You got my Sub! 😀
About 15 years ago, when I was working this trick, my testicles were accidentally crushed in my pocket at two different shows, and I replaced the real testicle with an egg with confetti, it became safer to work and the finale was more beautiful.
Great routine! I think I will try to duplicate it. Amazing work you did. Just great! I bought mine from vanishing magic. IDK if I have instructions with it. We'll see. Just got it. Anyways thanks again. Great routine!
