Alyson's FAVORITE Trick? Penn and Teller Fool Us Nick Paul 

I know how this trick was done. There were 98 dogs off stage dressed as various animals, plus one dressed as himself, and the assistant chose the appropriate one. Such a fun trick! 🙂

Alyson was the most real, sincere, genuine host of ANY entertainment show. She actually CARED about the magicians and their feelings. She WANTED them to succeed. When she smiled and cheered she was being REAL. They can get all the super models they want to host Fool Us, none will match what Alyson brought to the show.

That was very entertaining. I guess your dog wore a lobster suit because there’s a claws in his contract.

I love the fact that Nick went into this show knowing he probably wouldn’t fool Penn and Teller and still gave one of the most audience-favorite performances on the show. Allison was even adored the trick (and dog)!

One thing that kinda stood out for me was that lobster was spelled with a capital L while none of the other animals were. I'm by no means in on the method but in my head I've figured it out (like probably 99% of the keyboard magicians here :D)

Fooler or not, this was a fun and entertaining act! And any act with a dog assistant is an automatic A+!

Nobody : Penn : FORCE

Love how he even mentions iCloud in the questions after the trick :3

Love this! I have been lucky enough to book Nick for multiple shows and he always brings his A game! I don't want to name drop but I have also met George multiple times.

“So I have your dog, and your phone...” that chemistry Alison creates 🙂 Nice trick, creative, miles from the usual boring card tricks.

I am not sure how to feel about this trick. The biggest reveal was not even mentioned by Nick. Of course the list of animals was edited remotely by the assistant to have Lobster on the selected spot (I've even noticed on the first view, that lobster was with capital L, unlike the other words, a bit of oversight from the person editing it (and maybe the autocorrect adding capital letter for new items))... It looked like this was supposed to be the great reveal (the poster and the dog in the costume) but that was the easy part from my point of view. Upon watching the video again, I noticed that at 6:05 the fortune in the treat says that "George says..." and George was the name chosen by Alyson. How did he get the name in there? And i think this reveal should have made it clear "oh, the fortune has the name that Alyson chose" because I completely missed that the first time, I was focusing in the puns (edited some typos)

THERE IS ALYSON!!! I thought she was kicked off the show but now she's back!

There was a similar trick done by a college student a few years back that involved her guessing what song Allison chose off her phone's playlist. Penn & Teller were fooled by it. They were then schooled by their fans! This one was a tad bit more clever (and really wonderfully presented with the extra fortune bit at the end), but I'm not sure you can get even this more complex variation past P&T at this point. Would love to see Nick Paul live! Great fun!

I have lived in Shelby Township, New Baltimore, Detroit, grosse Pointe Park and now Wyandotte. Hell yeah, dude. Last October would have been my 9th anniversary, but unfortunately, my wife passed away exactly two weeks before. Congratulations on 8 years, wish you many more

A love the Lobster list and, man, having an accomplice, especially someone named George, is a real treat.

I already love Alyson Hannigan but she's a dog person and so am I so I love her even more. As for Nick Paul, it felt clear to me from the get go he was not there to fool Penn & Teller or to get the silly trophy. He loves entertaining. Nick Paul is really just putting his best foot forward to get more gigs and I hope he excelled in that because he's excellent at what he does.

lmao I love how Alyson got so comfortable with the pup she kissed him hahahaha

Just beautiful!! Heartwarming. Love it so much

Awesome man yall were great!!

This was such a cute trick! It really took us on a journey, recalling all those different animals. I bet George would look adorable in any costume, and your assistant has a heck of a time picking them all out. I don't think you fooled me, but this was an adorable trick with an adorable canine assistant, so I don't care. Well done!

i never realized before how badly i needed "a dog in a lobster costume" in my life.

Love your sense of humour and the originality with which you present your routine.

Allison is a true animal lover.❤

Man, I want an outfit like Alyson is sporting! That's my notion of practical business attire, and I'm an old dude.

What a lovely feel to your act Nick. Congratulations on your work! I really enjoyed it.

What a fun trick! I liked that it went on a bit longer than I thought it would, past the photo of the dog in the lobster out fit... and even past the dog in the lobster outfit. I also liked that all the options except the "treats" were "poop." That is infantile and I am infantile, so it was perfect.

I was thinking maybe it was a fake notepad app. Only like 10 were visible at the start, so he could just have 10 possibilities, and then if they chose a number bigger than 10, his assistant could remotely change the app so that the number they chose was lobster? I loved the trick. I love dogs!!

Loved it. You have such a warm and witty delivery. Well done Nick x

It would have been even more amazing if Alyson had just seen Top Gun and named it Rooster. Because nothing’s cooler than a flying dog in a lobster costume.

I liked the trick. You fooled me. I bet it was cool having a Dad as a ventriloquist, with a friend that was a clown and magician.

Known him and watched his magic 4 yrs now, he always brought a magical touch to his performances, always fun to watch

Absolutely awesome Nick. It was great seeing how far you have come. The real magic in what you do is all the smiles and joy you bring to anyone who gets to see you on stage. I am beyond happy to see you constantly being out there bringing laughs with magic and perfect showmanship that you don’t see much anymore. Abracadabra my friend.

I really liked this performance, your dog, and your book. Working with animals, especially a dachshund (?), is a pain, so props on that.

Great act! Fun and creative. Love acts that don't use force. Even though I feel I know most of the trick, they added a few mini tricks that I'm unsure how he did them.

Those puns were pawful. 😂

Whenever there’s predictions involved there’s always some reason for bringing something onto the stage, ie a table, an envelope, a dog in a lobster suit.

Awesome. May the magic stay with you! ;)

Alyson wears her jammies to work.

Very nice and funny routine, but next time please tell your accomplice to be careful with the letter casing 😆

Awesome act! I loved it. And the dog in the lobster costume was great 😊! You fooled me! Looking forward to more of your performances!

It was a pleasure to see Alison in this episode. A single thing I still didn't get is how the name George was inside the treat. When I watched the first time, I thought Nick's wife secretly brought it, but it's not the case. That exact treat was clearly outstanding from the others, btw.

Cutest performance, love it!

In a world of superheroes and.... "look...I'm magic...really....look..?!?!?!" this was a little breath of fresh air....

He picked George & Lobster, even if they're two forces they're still brilliant! Good work Champ!!

It's honestly rare at this point for me to be so in love with a trick that I don't even care how it's done or whether I was "fooled". Such a great act. :)

What a splendid performance. Even if some of it wasn't super flashy, it was pleasant to watch, you have a great demeanor and are very personable.

Still need to come to a show during my world travels. Currently in Portugal. Loved the act. Penny the lobster was great

I'm trying to think of a clever way to let you know that I know without spoiling it to anyone else. I wish I could get other people to edit my own comment so that they could help me put the right words in the right places, but I guess I'm on my own on this one.

Very charming trick! I definitely need to see your act some day.

Ah, yes. Schrodinger's family: Either Mom is constantly having fun with the ones she loves. Or Mom is constantly being driven insane by the ones she loves. It must be exhausting to exist in a quantum superposition in which both are true. 😂

This was a fun effect. Great you got on P&T😊👍😊👍

Allison "I have your dog and your phone.."' Nick had one foot in the door :) Great performance, well done indeed!!!!

That was one shell of a trick 🦞

A job well done. You’re a really talented magician honing in his craft well-hope one day I can run towards my passions too! As an introverted guy, I would love to read your book

This is awesome!! Major kudos to you for living your dream. I’m so in awe of people I know from high school doing amazing things like this! I remember when you were doing magic tricks at graduation parties and when you had a show at Disney. Keep striving for greatness and “break a fin”!! 😁

Great job! Really good!

Haha Alyson 😂❤

Took me a bit, but figured it out. Didn't want to spoil it for anyone.

Great trick but small word of advice. Lobster being the only animal with a capitalized first letter on a list of 99 animals screams look at me. Still, can never go wrong with a doggo.

llove this performance, George! (oh and Nick)

I think I figured out the Treat vs Poop bag trick

The pupper is the actual magician. His trick was to get pets & treats well looking fabulous! Teller seemed to be the only one to realize this, thus his jelousy

I’ve never seen Allison happier… really cute act

Wonderful!

Everyone’s talking about how number 77 went from rooster to Lobster, but what about the name George being in the dog treat? That’s insane

Great act. I enjoyed it. I'm pretty sure that I figured it out too, but I still really enjoyed your act.. You have great charisma.

Oh my gosh this is so cute!! Love the dog in the lobster costume!! Also, the fortune cookie?! Crazy!! Great job Nick and “George”!

So I figured out the lobster trick,...just not the name George on the fortune treat

What a great act!

Fun and clever

4:27 Peter Griffin: dog Lobster!

Good stuff! Keep up the good work!

Love this!! Great job!

That was great!

Did you notice that the treat he chose had a different color to it?

I have no idea what Penn and Teller was saying, but how the deuce did the fortune know George's name! What a wholesome act. Loved it :)

Amazing job!! Cute dog

I think I figured out the trick and how to do it. It still was very fun and you're a good presenter Nick, you have funny stage presence!

Great trick! And what a sweet dog

The "writing" for your trick (and intro) is really good!

Outstanding!l

His joke, "I'm a part time vegetarian," didn't get the reaction it deserved.

Great work Nick! What a fun act!

Mr Piffles has some questions....

Really great job, Nick!

Really great act, very entertaining! I was fooled by the name prediction

If the magic didn't fool me it wasn't ever going to fool P&T, but the comedy delivery and timing was fantastic, I was still entertained throughout. I'd rather watch that than yet another ball-and-cup routine that might have some clever technical innovation but to ME looks identical to every other one I've seen before.

The best trick was where Alison instantly likes you... because you bought a dog. Very smart man, you are.

Wonderful performance. The coded messages in Penn's explanation hints at LOADS of different steps for this performance to come together. Fooled or not that was still greatly entertaining

Great trick - one question: why is nr.77 Lobster spelled with a capital L?

I assume “forced“ was one of the key words, unless I assume “lobster“ was forced… I mean it would have to be… I don’t think the folded up picture could have been changed on the fly, depending on her selection… But how the heck could it have been forced when Penn and teller both got to choose their own numbers and it looks like the iCloud note was not changed… Unless someone else had access to your iCloud and could edit the note in on the fly before she scrolled down? But what would happen if they chose a two digit number that was already on screen?! This is why I still love shows like this… I can get maybe possibly an idea of how things were done, but I don’t really know and not knowing even though I have some idea of how things are done, makes it even more amazing and entertaining!

Amazing! This was so much fun!

Awww puppy

Its sad that its a trick t at may dont have another explaination on how its possible to be done other then one way. So they know. But this was a fabelous trick! Loved it!

“I have iCloud so I can get another phone” interesting 🤔

That was a fun act! Who doesn't love a cute dog in a lobster suit?

Thanks for the adorable dog. The trick fooled me.

I'm half way in but i already love how you put humour/prop/dog into your trick!

I ❤dachshunds 😊.

Nick, wow, man. Props to Penn and Teller because I have no CLUE how you did that! I was originally thinking, okay... there was maybe some technology whereby the list on the phone would dynamically renumber the list so that whatever the selected number was, then that would be the lobster. BUT, I don't think that's how you did it, because it looked to me like the list was in alphabetical order! That would make changing the list just about impossible. See this face? ==> (ʘ_ʘ) That's me after your stunning trick! The fact that P&T figured it out says a lot about their powers of observation, but you fooled probably everyone else! In any case, you are awesome! All good wishes.
