He wasn't trying to fool them. Many of us know how it's done. When it's done as well as Paul does it, that doesn't matter. At some point you stop looking for the slight of hand you know is going on and just enjoy the performance.

@alexprospero5816 6 лет назад

CrimFerret exactly, they were pretty obvious but by the time the big ones arrived I was like whoa ok who cares then the Coke whoa and the balls whoa 😂

@clarkeugene5727 6 лет назад

So true Crim-Ferret, enjoy the first time, but then go back and replay with the pause.

@warman31 6 лет назад

Even if you know the sleight of hand, he can go so quickly, you lose track of where everything is. Took me three times to follow it all from start to finish, but I still miss the pile of red balls being loaded and the can being loaded. So smoothly done.

I learned a lot of the sleights out of a kids magic. I can do a decent version of cup and balls, better then the standard one but nothing special any magician would see how it’s done even a fellow amateur, but seeing it done so well and with the addition of sound is what elevates a trick to an art. It’s the difference between a kid who’s had a couple years of piano lessons and a concert pianist who’s preformed for years.

My favorite park of the show is the sense of respect and admiration between professionals.

@mikew1176 6 лет назад

loved Penn's double talk at the end. "Everything is compressible," "glass half empty." Brilliant performance nonetheless

@thelostnorth713 6 лет назад

This is very advanced sleight of hand and the way he performed it was just jaw dropping. And talking about his dad while doing it was just amazing

@neelparmar6690 6 лет назад

Leven us yes, magic is always better when a story is involved too

@superchirimoya 5 лет назад

it was so peaceful and enjoyable!

@jamesblunt006 5 лет назад

Talking about his dad's balls....

@defiante1 6 лет назад

As a reasonable normal person who understands magic is best left in films and fantasy. I understand this is a trick. I rationally know this man is not summoning things out of thin air. I am glad I know this. Because what I am seeing is giving me a hard time of holding true to what I know. It is a trick... but if this guy did this in medieval days I would worship him as the second coming of Christ.

@aarontorres4840 6 лет назад

Lol really? guy pulls balls out of a cup and a coke... and you'd worship him as Christ? Forget that Christ didn't do parlor tricks... that he healed leprosy, lame, the blind and those with various diseases. I haven't seen any magicians doing those things. Oh well... to each their own lol.

@rickhaavisto9023 6 лет назад

Aaron Torres You also haven't seen Christ do any of those things...

@Un1234l 6 лет назад

Aaron Torres I saw a unicorn the other day. It was amazing. I'll write about it in a book some day for others to read, for posterity.

@xSiKToXinzZ 6 лет назад

Aaron Torres lmao bible thumpers take shit so serious, it's called a joke bud

@BecxKK 6 лет назад

People are always so hard on the poor old medieval folk. I’m pretty sure magic tricks were a common form of entertainment back then same as today.. 😅

@zorn1745 5 лет назад

He was there to perform for them, not to fool them.

@0x0221 6 лет назад

What strikes me as being so brilliant about his performance is the rhythm and cadences of the tricks. It's like watching a firework show.

@sauvagess 6 лет назад

You know a magician is good when you can see exactly how the trick is done, yet you still pay for them to perform it for you. 10/10 would pay to see again

@patricksimmons2082 6 лет назад

Congrats on being such a classy and entertaining guy, Paul. Your performances are wonderful.

@lang1281 6 лет назад

The table is compressible and the can of Coke is half empty. He didn't seem to be trying to win the contest; just wanted to do the cups and balls for Penn and Teller.

@YoBrand15 6 лет назад

I saw how the trick was done after rewatching it a couple times. I'm not sure what the table being compressible and the coke being half empty would have anything to do with it other than making it easier for him. Everything was just clever sleight of hand and distracting while he was reaching under the table.

@johnbrown2163 6 лет назад

Lang I think cups have a thumb press spring loaded trap door to insert balls. Great Magic.

@Tuturial464 6 лет назад

Well he did fool them once

@christopherhall5361 6 лет назад

everyone who's ever seen magic knows this trick, they know it's a trick but it's not about the trick, it's about the performance and he does a fantastic job of it

@tartarus216 6 лет назад

You have that entirely backwards but the magic is in the sleight.

@Argumemnon 3 года назад

Even as a non-magician I kind of know how he does it and I kind of can see him do it at times, but he's so smooth in doing it, that it doesn't matter! If you don't understand the trick, you're impressed because it's a mystery. If you understand thetrick, you're impressed because you can't spot it. If you can spot the trick, you're still impressed because of the utter skill it takes to do it.

@iiiiiiiiiilili7173 3 года назад

I absolutely love it how he doesn’t go onto the show to fool them he goes on there to show them such a simplistic trick that has been adored for centuries and add such a beautiful spin its really amazing to see, and its so beautiful.

@w1q2e3r4t5 6 лет назад

Well that was amazing.

@RuggerJug 6 лет назад

w1q2e3r4t5 only part that i actually saw was when he put the big ball under the left cup at 5:45. Otherwise my jaw is resting on the floor

@RaphaeLoh01 5 лет назад

Allison's expression when she was asked to guess... priceless!

@paulgertnermagic 6 лет назад

Any RU-vid Fans in the Boston Area??? Come see the magic that fooled Penn & Teller at my new show Friday Nights at The Omni Parker House. Tickets Available at www.MiraclesAndOtherDeceptions.com

@kevinducharme9682 6 лет назад

Paul, I love how you knew that Penn and Teller knew that you knew you weren't really trying to fool them. You wanted to show them a personal and private story about an amazing trick.( as you mentioned throughout). Just a great performance by someone who is well known in the magic circuit, has the respect of many aspiring magicians, and who wrote the book on many many magic tricks you see other magicians perform.

@EPrimeify 6 лет назад

I love Paul Gertner more and more every time I see him perform. What a class act he is. He's a true showman.

@andersjjensen 6 лет назад

This is how spectacular magic is done. Perfectly elegant flow, while looking totally relaxed yet constantly ramping up the wow factor. Standing ovation Sir!

@ATK1734 6 лет назад

Recently watched a video that broke down a trick that was very similar to this; for a while I was with you and figured I knew how you did the trick. Then you started rapid firing on pulling balls out of the cups, each of various sizes and then a coke can. Just when I thought I had the trick figured out, you blow my mind again! Well done sir, absolutely astounding.

@TitaniumDragon 6 лет назад

The ball bearings are misdirection for the end of the trick, as they set you up with a false expectation about the nature of the other props.

@user-dr2zu2ig9l 6 лет назад

You are probably one of the greatest minds in tricks, thank you for all of your magical performances.

@eyl4745 6 лет назад

A nice russki, seem rare, jk.

@bellatrixhudson9555 6 лет назад

Love how purely excited he was to show Penn and Teller. Someone who really enjoys his trade

If you are in the Boston Area or visiting on a Friday Night come and see the Magic that Fooled Penn & Teller Live. The 7:00pm show is Sold Out most nights... but we just added a 9:00PM show and tickets are still available. Go to: www.MiraclesAndOtherDeceptions.com

Watching Paul Gertner performing a trick is like watching a solid movie for the 10th time; you know what happens but you watch it 'til the end due to respect.

@uncle0eric 6 лет назад

I love to see how creative minds like Paul Gertner's can bring something new even to the oldest trick in magic.

@rizzorizzo2311 5 лет назад

This is one of my absolute favorite acts. Paul delivers it spectacularly.

@z_yy 6 лет назад

Probably the best version of this trick ive ever seen. This was actually pretty amazing even when you know the actual trick. I like how he does these tricks he knows P&T know and then adds a twist at the end. Very nice

@bim69 3 года назад

Your storytelling and performing abilities are world-class. What a wonderful and entertaining act, Paul. Amazing.

@findyourfit0116 5 лет назад

I absolutely love his delivery!

@curryrice7510 4 года назад

I love this performance. I love how relaxed and confident he is.

@jimbass1664 6 лет назад

The coke can is a bit obvious but the sleight with the balls is glorious!

@glendale6 6 лет назад

U can see him put the large ball on the table after grabbing it from below

@jasonbrown467 2 года назад

i know how most of this is done, but i enjoy the presentation so much i still come back just to watch the awesome showmanship.

@giancarlodelamerced4736 5 лет назад

listening to this guy's voice is very comforting

@rickniu4153 3 года назад

I just love these insane sleight of hand performances soooooooooo much

@garrison282 4 года назад

Cups and balls is so great because i feel like i should be able to rewind and catch you doing stuff, but every time i try, i come up short. I love watching you work!

@irvingg2342 3 года назад

Just the epitome of great magic performed flawlessly with an excellent, classy, yet unpretentious patter. Paul's ability to infuse so much of his own personality and sentiment into such a ubiquitous routine cannot be understated!

@Kragatar 6 лет назад

Best cups and balls ever.

@Alakazzam09 6 лет назад

Just amazing! Keep up the good work, I really look forward to more. You're so entertaining!

@MajorLeagueBassboost 3 года назад

I mean, when you've seen cups and balls for a few times, you know how it's done, but you know what? I still love seeing it. It makes the charm and wit all the more important and he just does it so well.

@nobunagaoda8439 6 лет назад

I love this act , rewatched it so many times. This is work of art and I hope one day I will get to learn how it's done :D

@Supershackda 5 лет назад

Paul Daniels "chop cup" will always be my favourite version of the cups and balls, but this is a very close second, his delivery and slight of hand skill is absolutely masterful, amazing trick, no other way to put it

@Jovius2k 6 лет назад

My favorite routine of yours... with a twist. Love it!

@JPEnjoi 6 лет назад

Just wonderful Paul. Not sure which one is better...this or the first time you were on the show. An absolute pleasure watching your craft.

@HenkJanBakker 6 лет назад

Dream storming! Man great name. I do that too. Well...used to do that. Thanks for reminding me. That can of Coke? Goosebumps. Really really jaw dropping.

@mattikaki 6 лет назад

Whew, Paul. I’ve been watching this many times but every time I find new nuances which make this so awesome. I just bought some 1 1/16 ” steel balls for another trick but haven’t tried this yet. This is so hair-raising to do with brass cups. And btw, your cups sound beautifully tuned so they are well made. The audio made this one of the most respecting trick to those ancient times.

@Daggerfall40 3 года назад

I love watching magic shows. Makes me feel like a kid again.

@justinkarnes3276 4 года назад

I can see the palm up from the lap with the largest ball... but then I totally lose track of everything when it comes to the coke and the sponge balls. Very nice work Paul.

@arielroma9751 3 года назад

Hello Paul. You probably already know it but your version of the cups and balls is the best ever. Greetings from Argentina

@simplep1anner 5 лет назад

I need Paul to show me magic tricks and tell me stories while I sit by the fire and sip hot coco. I miss my Gramps.

@mattlang8603 3 года назад

Paul, this is the equivalent of fine art for magicians. Bravo!

@savehimgffff1777 3 года назад

This is one of my favorite tricks. I always come back to thus vid.

@nelsyeung 5 лет назад

When I first heard that sound come out of the middle cup, it completely blew my mind. I went back just to listen. That's some advanced new sleight.

@mg42sd 4 года назад

There is something about these old classics that gets the best reactions from the audience. This partial familiarity of how the trick works creates ths uncanny valley where an avarage spectator can be fooled and actually feel fooled, not cheated.

@LGO24jr 6 лет назад

it is an honor gracing us with this - absolutely amazing

@off_mah_lawn2074 3 года назад

@Garl_Vinland 3 года назад

I like how the audience was on the same page when he pulled out the glass. Ball and cup trick with see through cups. Now THAT would be something

@scottsdisneyvlog 5 лет назад

Paul gertner has always been a supreme force to be reckoned with when it comes to the cups and balls. I have seen him perform this at trade shows all over.

@skinnyhunk 6 лет назад

Great job as always, Paul......very entertaining!!

@CrimFerret 3 года назад

This is a trick that you can know how it's done and even knowing, watch somebody do it this well and still enjoy it.

@kartheeks4210 6 лет назад

If you look carefully at around 1:36 you can see him placing the ball under the cup just wow

This is Paul's rendition of Gazzo's Cups and Balls. Awesome routine, regardless.

@mynameisgeoff2025 6 лет назад

An amazing performer and amazing act.

@rogerducrin 6 лет назад

This is beautiful. I can, thankfully, track this experiment since I used to love hustling at carnivals and taking the cash after pointing out their hiding of the ball. Like in 4:30 every time he says it penetrates, he puts it on the edge of the first cup and pushes the second cup down to raise the ball, thanks to the shape of the cup. Genius.

@BusterMaxwellTV 6 лет назад

GREAT one, Paul Gertner!

@EpicGamingGuruReal 4 года назад

Regardless if it's just really high leveled amount of sight of hand. It's also very well performed and incredibly well said story to go with it. Now that's magic
