@@itskelvinn It means when they want to telegraph that they've forced the card, they do it with "3 of clubs". Penn also chose specifically "3 of cards" from the deck in Kostya Kimlat's trophy winning trick (1st appearance) and Kostya commented about that instantly.
@@TheDogGoesWoof69 probably not only because she looks good, but also, because they know she will not be intimidated too much by the cameras as they needed her to talk and interact a little bit more than a usual average "randomly selected member of our audience" in other occasions.
Possible method: 3:13 After Teller knows the final card selection, his right hand makes a deck switch under the table (maybe somebody hiding under the table hands it to him, or it's taken from a library of 52 decks). Penn taking an undue amount of time to circle the selection with the pen serves as a distraction and allows enough time for the deck switch to occur. The cards in the new deck are all the six of spades, except for the top twelve cards (the bottom two cards of each eight-card pile that he deals) and the last four cards (which Teller discards face up when finished dealing). We briefly catch a glimpse of several of the six of spades being dealt onto the first pile at 3:28, 3:36 and 3:40. And likewise, a number of the cards he deals between 3:48 and 3:52. When he turns the chosen pile over, he exposes the bottom two cards as two other possibilities that she may have ended up with instead (in this case, the four of diamonds and the eight of hearts).
@@DamonWakefield At 3:09, Teller lifts the deck he's holding and the bottom card appears to be the 6 of spades. I'm guessing they had 52 prepared piles of the same card under the table and Teller switched out the original deck with one loaded with 36 6 of spades to deal out into the piles. It didn't matter which pile and which card she chose, they were all the 6 of spades.
@@1GrilledFoot But how do you then explain 5:26, where it is implied that the pile contained different cards? Teller would have to be palming at least two random cards in his left hand and move the pile behind it. Is that the method you have in mind?
@@Flamelord1302the 6 piles have more than 6 cards each, but she must pick between one and six. The bottom 2 or 3 cards in each pile are random and originated at the top of the deck, but are not accessible for her to select. The rest are all 6 of spades. When teller shows how she could have picked other cards, he’s careful to only show 2 cards from that pile, not revealing the other many 6 of spades.
Teller deals eight cards into each pile. Since only one of the top six cards can be chosen, the bottom two cards are random ones. Teller is very careful to show us only the bottom two cards in each pile and we never see the others because they're all the 6 of spades.
It does appear to be a bit of manipulation in her choices, I think they knew what she was going to say before she said it because they swayed her to picking what they wanted, frequent trick in magic but I believe there's also a lot of card forcing which they give a sneak peak at the beginning
7 cards in the pile, but i for the life of me can't figure out how they got the 6 in there after the last dice throw on 5...which could be a fake die so still possible, lands on what they want...buuut...giving the choice to change their mind after the roll. Yeah, no clue, and even then i think i'm way off :p
So, I suppose it's multiple outs? They just build the trick around her choices? Would explain why the frequency of cards was never relevant in the end.
when Teller puts the cards down, you can see that all 6 of spades. e.g. in 3:01 or 3:28. the fact that he already had the stack in his hand before she chose is probably because the probability that she would take this card was the highest. Otherwise he would have had to take another pile from under the table.
For all we know theres a guy under the table who has 52 decks of individual cards and all Teller needs to do is drop his hands for a few seconds for the switch... you can tell they are all 6 spades as he is slightly flashing when he deals the first pile
What? No, all Teller had to do was put the cards on the bottom of the deck as they were selected. He then waited for Sierra to choose one of the four, and dealt that card from the bottom to the required position. From here it's a guess, but I'd say they have multiple ways of landing on the card in that position depending on the two numbers given. Also Penn making a point to keep an eye on Teller as he slid the pile over was sus.
So I can see how Teller would switch the deck to a loaded one while Penn distracts everyone with the numbers. Sure. But how did they force the 6 of clubs to begin with? She seemed to have free choice with that, and having 52 loaded decks seems kinda unlikely.
They 100% had 52 decks. On the spectrum of prep work magicians will do for an effect, it's not all that crazy. It wouldn't even be the first trick on the show that required 52 decks.
How did the follow up cards end up being perfectly lined up to be every 11th counting down in probability? Is this a sleight of hand or manipulation trick? Hmmmm After rummaging through the comments, I believe it's both: they manipulated all of her choices and had worked decks to get the result, as well as sprinkling some believable cards to show it's "real"
I have never heard a dice be called a die before but I looked it up and it the singular and dice the plural. Must be an American thing like math instead of maths.
@@freemagicfun I did look it up and agree with with you but I have never heard it called a die till now. I’m not saying it’s wrong but funny how these things change in the English language in different parts of the world and is totally accepted.
Very simple math trick from childhood with "random" number leading to the same result for the any given number. Just encapsulated in tons of words, moves and fun stuff. Good job! But "I don't think you fooled me" (C) Penn and Teller
@@pepwaverley2185 Same to you. You believe that your baseless assumptions, without any common sense, powered by arrogance allow you insult people for their thoughts? So who is real fool here?
@@olek0629 If you were joking then yeah you should probably signal that you're joking because it wasn't the least bit comical. You obviously were not joking though, thought you knew how the trick worked, were made fun of because of your incorrect simplistic observation and now are pathetically trying to save face with some nonsensical "it was just a joke bro" as well as some equally shoehorned digs at other commentors to protect your ego. Just give it a rest, you made a dumb comment and got called out, end of story.
I've learned from watching P&T acts over the years that the louder Penn is talking, the more he's trying to distract you from paying attention to what Teller is doing.
@@ZipplyZane nope. He is soeaks A LOT. And it’s clear he is doing it to restact. Have you heard cooperfield speak? Its has timing, it has Rythm it has dynamics. PEN just fires information at you. And I’m not comparing him to others as they are supposed to be at copperfield level
Since Penn talks so much and so fast that Teller could be doing anything and you wouldnt notice. As an audience member, when you're up on stage you are listening carefully incase you make a mistake on national TV and look like an idiot
Such a cute young lady. Sometimes people just give their newborns beautiful names, and they grow right into it. That trick was just too complicated which means it's a simple one but padded like mad. Of course, that doesn't mean that I have a clue how it works, but hey, that's Penn & Teller!
@@Syndur I dunno, this almost feels like a rehearsed setup. She did indeed see a card trick, this exact one, done by Penn & Teller probably dozens of times for her, behind the scenes. There is no way you show such bland reaction to the reveal ... first time ever in my experience of watching all kinds of shows
@@wowZhenek We watch to see it happen, but they wouldn't have gone to all that trouble if they didn't have some way to make her pick whatever card she chose.
@@loupasternak you can't determine the desired fate by just looking at things. We live in a rotating world. I have seen the sun and moon on the same day and time.
