If you look at teller, he says how the trick is done. Read his lips he says Magnet, and it is a metal coin that he picked, rest of the coins were non magnetizable coins and the spatula has a magnet. I had my doubts but i saw teller say it and it proves it. Also pen saying Pole To Pole aludes to magnets.
@@freeeflyer Counting down from ten is not maths! Both where unskilled set up tricks anyone could walk up there and do! Without any practice! The way teller held the bag up to try and hide the fact it had a machine in there that selected the right card is appalling! Possibly the worse free pass they ever have given! I cant think of a worse one! Even jandros unskilled tricks required a little effort!
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 Yes, that's right, they are giving "free passes" cause Penn and Teller CLEARLY are involved in a conspiracy to help this one person for some reason....🤦🏿♂🤦🏿♂🙄🙄🤡🤡
the cut at 4:16 is unfortunate for us viewers because how the f did this white ball appear on the glass when you see it again...? what did the audience see?... anyway great performance.
I noticed that as well, and right after he made the water disappear the black ball "shrinks" and you can see him sliding the real one back into his coat.
Most coins aren't magnetic. But the signed one is. Also, he pushes down the coin with the same spot he licked. So the magnet doesn't have to reach the sides of the bowl. Hi literally sets the spatula down right on the coin.@@nitedk
@@jjchellobasic maths be counted down from 10, took where they stopped and removed that many. (He removes 1 when he says 10 and the other 9 are removed just because of the maths then he placed the eleventh card down)
I miss Alyson. She was so bubbly and full of energy. At least they shouldn't have hidden Alyson from the flashbacks of the previous shows. I hope she comes back. But some day sooner or later, we'd have to bid farewell. Brooke is doing alright, but seems more professional. Need to get used to her i guess.
clean coz there were no moves to hide. trick 1; 7H at position 34 and position 24 and in the shoe. pick a number between 1 and 4 can only gives the number 22,23,32,33. then draw (in this case) 23 cards with 7H being the next card at position 24. if 22 was chosen, i suspect his out was to not include the joker with some bullshit faf. same if 32 was chosen. trick 2. (new deck - see two decks on the table the start) count 10 cards (white faced) put a Q followed by A. repeat 4 times. then have 4 cards at the end saying "im black gimme trophy" count down from 10 to lets say 7, then count up to 7 = 10 cards each time then Q, then A. repeat 4 times. he can only end with 4 cards at the ends. 1/10 dumb tricks
@@johnmassee561 ""im black gimme trophy" I always love how the useless cave beast pale face troglodytes always - (ironically unlike these magicians) - are always far too stup!d to hide their hands, and end up revealing the TRUE motivations for the !d!otic BS you spew. No, cave monkey, the real quote that applies here - not the dumb sh!+ you made up - is "derp, mE c bWaCk mAn mE hAtE kause me !dIot". The projection from you m0r0ns and the crazed psychotic race-obsessed babble is so insane, it needs to be studied by scientists as to how one can become so twisted in the head. 🤡🤡
@@johnmassee561 umm... dude... when he said between 1 and 4, most people understand that to mean inclusive. So there goes your wonderful explanation, genius. You have zero idea how he did that trick.
Really? That was the least impressive of all the acts for me. It's a self working trick for the most part. The countdown piece will always have you land on the 11th card so that is where the queens are positioned. The aces are positioned every 10th card.
@jasper5016 Since he starts at 10 and counts down, then counts out the number you stop at, it always adds up to 11. So if you stop him at 7 (10,9,8,7) thats 4, then he counts 7 more because you stopped him at 7, that adds up to 11 cards from where he started. It works the same no matter which number you stop him at. 2? (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2) + 1,2 = 11 etc. Still a very impressive trick to get everything arranged just so.
@@fuhkerz "Still a very impressive trick to get everything arranged just so." you man put the ace and matching queen at positions 10 and 11 and suits in the correct order as on the table! Then you will be amazed watching me sort a deck so all cards are in order!
I was pondering why he used a plethora of quarters instead of a plethora of pennies. I think I’ve procured a possible answer that provides the secret to the prestidigitation. Pennies are made of copper, therefore not magnetic. I think there’s a magnet in the spatula. When he pushes the coin with the private particulars into the pudding the magnetic spatula picks up the coin with the private particulars upon it. While she is pouring the quarters upon the pudding, he partakes of the pudding upon the spatula. Thus procuring the coin inside his mouth. Hides it in his cheek, and after putting his face in the pudding, he produces the coin with private particulars. I ponder if a professional in prestidigitation can procure or put together a pretend penny with magnetic properties. Such a prop would provide the performance with perfect patter. Indeed, Penn’s the “pole to pole” comment seems to confirm the prop with magnetic properties.
@@jjchello no, I think there was a magnet involved. Penn did say “pole to pole”, and there has to be a reason why he used quarters instead of Pennies. Pennies are too obvious. There’s only four widely used coins in American currency, and only one starts with the letter p. He had to have a good reason to not use them. Although, I did wonder after posting that why other coins did not stick to the spatula when she mixed them up. I think maybe there was metal (maybe another coin?) in the spatula, and a magnet on the outside which he stole along with the signed coin. Yes, it WAS dumb. But I think it was beautifully, whimsically dumb.
I thought Penn was against anyone coming on with a cup and ball routine. Like they wanted tricks that could actually fool them without it being a now I have to guess which one of a dozen methods you used. But now it seems the show has been on for so long, if the performance is good enough, they let the magician have his moment in the spotlight and Penn gives his obligatory polite comments and throws in some code and they don’t have to play a guessing game.
anyone else instantly see the first act get the ball from the corner of his jacket and quickly push it under the cup from 5:44. the pudding one was childsplay too. he made sure it stook to the spatula and palmed it in the corner of his mounth which was very easy to see, I knew 100% he would face palm into it to cover it up way before he did it. pole to pole says it all, it was magnetic, im no magician and I can work out half these acts. come on guys get more challenging people on the show. nevermind pen and tellers trick was really easy to work out too, the kink in the rope wasnt even removed after.
So many people on here are saying something vague like "the trick is mathematical, and obvious and dumb". None of these people have any idea how he did that. No clue. Zero.
the second part of the trick IS obvious and dumb, of course if he counts down from 10 to 10 - N cards, then after you stop him he removes the remaining N cards, he'll always show the 10th card no matter when you stop him.... As long as you put the aces in 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th position the "trick" works by itself. I'm sure most people probably got in on the first watch if they were paying attention The first part of the trick is pure sorcery tho, because with their method of picking a number, it could have been 11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, etc. and we saw that none of these cards were the 7 of diamonds. This one blew my mind
The coin was made with iron. The spatula has magnet in it. As spatula pushed the coin down, it actually picked up the coin. While the lady place all other coins into the pudding, he licked the spatula and hid the coin in his mouth.... Thus why he had to plunge his face into the pudding.
Last magician, Chris Capehart. I flat out have nothing, no earthly idea, as to how he got the card in the shoe to match the 23rd card down in the deck when he wasn't handling either the bag or the deck at the time Penn & Teller chose a 2 and a 3, and then from 23 and 32 chose 23. I have NO IDEA how that could be done. The BAG with SHOE in it was in Teller's possession from BEFORE the choosing of the numbers, and the DECK was in PENN's possession from before the choosing of the numbers. That may be why Chris Capehart got the trophy. But the thing where cards are counted out downwards from 10 to 1 and a non-dealer can call where to stop is a fixed deal. Say I count "10, 9" and you say "stop". At that point I've dealt 2 cards. So then because you called on "9", I deal 9 more. Well, that's 11 cards down. Alternatively, suppose I say "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5" and you say "stop". I have then dealt out SIX cards. Because you stopped at "5", I deal out five more cards. Well, that's ALSO 11 cards. No matter what Penn & Teller do during this part of the trick, the result is always going to be 11 cards. (It also helps to explain why he will ALWAYS have four cards left for "Master" and "Of" and "The" and "Mind". The number of cards dealt out by the end is always the same multiple of 11, and it always leaves four cards left over.) So, that's a start at figuring out that part of the trick. But getting the 23rd card down to match the card in the shoe? I haven't even made a start and I think neither Penn nor even Teller did. There is often some wiggle-room in such counts. For instance, a magician can say "Okay, it's ten" and count cards while dealing, up to nine, and then lift up the 10th card and it's the desired card. OR, the magician can say "Okay, ten it is" and deal off 10 cards and then announce "so, we've discarded the 10 cards, and now THIS card" (and then he turns up the ELEVENTH card) "is the target card" and it is. So a lot of stuff can be plus-or-minus one. Also, note how few numbers you can pick using the prescribed method: 11 through 14, 21 through 24, 31 through 34, and 41 through 44 are it. That's only 12 numbers. Maybe the fact that only 12 numbers are possible makes it doable.
15, 24, 33, and 41 were probably all the same card. Notice the camera cuts to behind penn so you cant see the cards during the deal once he gets to around number 12 or so.
penn and teller are getting really stupid - i'm not even going to shuffle the deck - doh! so I have a preset deck already set-up for the trick so don't ruin it and btw you can't even look at the deck before I start my trick - OMG how the f* did they not work this one out? - just giving away trophies for the sake of it now
19:15 - I agree with the Commenters that John Lewit's use of a trick coin (handed to Brooke rather than picked at random by her) with an iron core and a magnet in a spatula to move the coin to his mouth was the easiest trick to solve that I've EVER seen on this show, so easy that it's perhaps a bit puzzling as to why it got on the show. Well, there's the comedy-angle of the green pudding. Also, John Lewit is a local person. Penn & Teller operate from very complex motives. They may have owed John Lewit a favor or though it advantageous if HE were to owe THEM a favor. He's a local, so maybe they just LIKE him and booked him for that alone. He may have saved a kitten's life, so they have him on their show. These two (Penn & Teller) are like that. They have high standards but they also have good hearts. Sometimes they just feel that someone deserves a break. What if P&T have some inside dirt about Las Vegas magic circles and know that someone gave John Lewit a raw deal, so they're just trying to balance that out?
John Lewitt's trick was pretty simple to figure out, he picked up the coin with the spatula and placed it in his mouth when he was eating the pudding. Still fun to watch tho.
Fun fact: the two girls in the audience shown at 23:54 are actually taken from Season 7 when "Thunder from Down under" perform their show during Helen Coghlans escape. I wonder why they did that?
The spatula was magnetic. Only her coin was magnetic. He licked the spatula and hid the coin in his mouth. I know little about magic but I figured this one out right away. Especially when he licked the spatula.
not really.. the cards were pre-shuffled into a certain order. all of the queens were at the 11th position. If he counted down from 10 and got to 7, then there were 4 cards down on the table, and then he counted out the 7 under the kings..
@@GavinWongMagic Yes, but then he gave the same spatula to Brooke to stir the pudding. Just like the first time a quarter or more than one stuck to the spatula when she pulled it out.
@@LetsMars Or the magnetic property of the spatula could be switched off after he recovered the marked quarter... I wonder if the P letter was chosen because it is easy to still speak the P unimpendeded with a quarter in your mouth.
@@olivier2553The magnet could be shut off if it were designed that way, but it doesn’t appear that it was. The magician also didn’t appear to expect that Brooke might ask him a question so he hesitated before responding and it was apparent that he had something in his mouth.
So i agree he definitely had the coin in his mouth when licking off the pidding while she added the other coins, but if there were a magnet in the spatula then why didnt the other coins all stick to it?
Pretty sure it's just 6 prerecorded videos where he can sorta insert a live stream of himself into any of them, with some processing to keep it from looking weird when he does that. P&T seemed to think he had a bunch of prerecorded endings for the various things they could have done or said, but I think the cards were a blue-screen and he could put anything on them (while still doing the green screen separately). The important part is that he had to say their responses out loud, so someone working the tech could set up the ending... because it would've been more impressive if he just pretended it was all prerecorded instead, so apparently he had to respond. Even though that seems a bit weird, because if he has 6 videos, he could sort of 'drop out' at any point and set it up himself...
All six prerecorded switch positions, but the real live feed is being inserted among them (that's why Pen says "popping from one place to another") so he can say things that he's already seen that will match the answers, and he does this 3 times when the cards appear (there's no bluescreen, that's real ink written). When he says this trick was expensive is because he needed the help from the studio, because that green screen, audio and lighting must all match exactly for all pre-recordings and the live feed@@Dimencia
The pudding one was much more amateur than this show usually has. The guy is nice and all but thats the type of magic I'd expect at a 12 year olds b-day party from a college student charging 50 bucks a gig.
Anybody noticed that the white ball wasn’t on top of the glass before the camera cut to him spinning the stick then it was how could this possibly happen in front of everybody’s eyes that means this is edited
these question of the lady are so awkward starting with who is your best supporter wtf why not ask how did you come with this idea is hard standaard paper questions
I dont understand the last trick, he counts down from ten, stops at whatever number they choose and then continues the countdown from ten why even have them choose a number if its just counting out groups of ten cards and why were they fooled?
