Great interviewing by Joe Maxwell. "Any trick from your Magic Castle act would have been a contender for Fool Us" (paraphrased from Penn) has to be the strongest review a magician can get. The level of astonishment you create may not be ready for the internet. But keep it coming.

Great video man like always. I'm so happy that you won. I honestly had no doubt that you would win. Thank you for not revealing banded. It's a beautiful trick that I will use and carry forever. Thank you for the beautiful magic that you do man. 😁👍

Very good interview and an amazing performance! After looking at the performance a couple of times I think I figured out that it actually (in a way) was the solid ring that created the illusion that fooled Teller and that is a very clever method you came up with! Also of course the amazing sleight of hand that builds this trick, pure skill!

I love the channel and your work. Keep it up!

Great interview. Amazing performance on Fool Us and a well deserved trophy. Banded is on my to buy list for a while now, it's gonna be my Christmas gift 😁. Keep up the great work and stay safe.

Just subscribed.keep the great videos coming. Amazing

This is an amazing interview. Great video Garrett 🤗

Amazing, congratulations!!!!

Just seen your show on Fool Us. Congratulations Garrett. I sent a link to it to my daughter that came with me to see you awhile back at University of Buffalo with David Blane. She thought i was so cool because I grew up with you and you are famous!!! ;)

Oh man. What an amazing story! Cary that you saw Penn at week before.

It was a great illusion, I have enjoyed every moment of it. I think it really does not rely on a gimmick ring that comes apart and then rejoins perfectly. So, when you said "that's not it" on the stage, you were telling the truth. I have a working theory that involves more than one ring of which one that doesn't come apart and one that doesn't join.

One ring and one half ring

Hey Garrett, big fan of your channel and loved the performance on FU. I was wondering, do you remember what the trick was that you performed for Chris Ramsey, Spidey, et al. in Montreal for a video about 3 years ago? I’m so curious what it was b/c it wasn’t shown in the video + spidey said it was the best trick ever in terms of structure

I guess its natural for everyone to know how things are done, but it takes that 1 guy to move a new idea forward.

♥️

Magic💫

rick glassman fan? (and boy are my arms tired....) :) great performance on FU! just watched it

Garrett! Joe! Great all around.

You can't spell GoaT without GT. Keep crushing brotha.

My guess is that there is more then just that one solid ring

even with knowing how it's done, it's still fascinating. the missing finger thing was good too!

I agree with everyone saying that this a great interview. The behind the scenes and edited scenes is just amazing. The revealation that Penn saw your act a week before and he was still fooled is beyond comprehension. And the story that Penn stood you up after your act in the Magic Castle is beyond words. Thank you also for telling us your experienced on what we did not see on live television. You are just amazing and I wish you will be back in Fool Us, FOOLER!!!!

He had me at what gives

Still think that you know that we know that the ring was not a ring but still awesome performance,.

Garrett is damn amazing. Not trying to take anything away from him BUT I still the best “real magic” was Richard Turner. He even made a point to not call it “magic” he referred to himself as a “card mechanic” which may be a very thin line depending on the trick but yea…Garrett is the only other magician besides Richard Turner that compelled me to do hours of research & have those routines in my mind for over a week. Here & there it’ll pop up in my mind & I thing “hmmm, did he do this?”

Where can you go to purchase this ring/trick

You can buy the gimmick he used on Teller, It's called 'Banded'..

From the sound of it, it sounds like Penn and Teller hear from the judges whether they're right or not before the performer tells them if they're right or not. Am I right or not?

Hello Garret, can you tell us what episode of Penn's podcast talks about you at the Magic Castle?

So - there is no spoon? Or... ring? :D

they really need to change the design of the fool us trophy....it looks like i'm being sweared at 24/7

I know this is old but you had 2 identical rings that you swapped out right? Still your sleight of hand is incredible. I did searching. I was close. I won't say what it is but I'm happy I was close. I originally thought what it actually is, but thought that would fall under the term gimmicked ring but I guess the wording about the exact specific thing he was talking about wasn't specific enough. Plus he thought it was only one ring that was mechanically able to come apart if you knew how to do it. I am happy to say though that I figured it out exactly before someone who bought the trick said how to do it.

Thomas Garrett, I am a bit confused about your show: BESIDE it was very well performed and with a very, very nice atmosphere, I am not so sure if it was new and why Teller didn't know it. Except one move 90% what I saw my 15 years old sister showed me in the 1980ies and she was not a trained magician, just had it seen from a magician in her school or so. (Well, we surely couldn't perform it so 100% perfectly, that even no expert wouldn't have been able to follow with his eyes, and without the certain , but we did the principles just like that.) By the way, I disregard at the fool us show, that they have cameras from many angles, angles, that are not only like the views of the spectators, that ruins a bit the dream. However, I loved everything you did and said and am still enchanted because the style and the layout of the performance is PURE MAGICIAN.

You are the best sligh of hand in the world because you switched rings perfectly

Lol.... lol

I will say,some magic is a illusion,and some is real,what you call magic,is it real or is it a illusion?? Your magic is to satisfy the audience ,I believe in pure magic,but can you tell the difference?

The guy who says he doesn’t like doing crowd crowd Magic .........also the guy who’s done tons of paid corporate room events...

I wasn't comfortable with this guys win. It was soley based on his honesty, and while I dont feel like he technically lied, he definitely was misleading.

HE LIED TO PENN & TELLER. The ring is gimmicked and it does open up. Shame on you Garrett

I'm very disappointed in you, I have been a huge fan for a long time, but you straight up lied to Penn & Teller
