Penn & Teller : Fool Us! CARD STAB!! // FIRST IRANIAN FOOLER? 

He most prob hangout in the Kalifate of Deerbourne Park!

Spoken like a typical racist non Texan

@@Sulucion6Tone funny since the blue state are the one keeping the red states afloat.

@@Sulucion6Tone ahaha 90% of red states are on welfare from the blue states that make all the money.

@@kjohn5224 did your communist news network tell you that? Thats why california is now leading in government programs and hasnt contributed to other states in the past 3 years. Highest handouts in the country hence the highest taxes. The BS you leftist sheep think is facts makes me laugh.

Yeah. This is super obvious that he was getting that trophy. They would never air Penn giving the trick away completely.

My pea brain that knows nothing about magic was thinking that's how the trick was done. So before Penn said anything I was coming up with a code to say it. Then Penn said it some bluntly I was taken back.

In earlier seasons, he just gave it away. But i think it got too many complaints and they change it and thats good...

Yeah useless magic anyways

He does do that very rarely. He did it 2 more times, he does it when he respects the trick a lot.

You can hear him say take it off take it off! Lol he was so happy.

@@awsome14619 That 'take it off' must have been required of him before coming on stage.

Alyson is definitely "huggable"!

I jumped a bit when I read this. The trick had knifes in it and "hugg" is the Swedish word for stab.

Yeah, I'd thought of that solution on my own, but when Penn just came out and said it openly I thought, no way Penn really thinks that's the answer and this guy just won.

Great move by Penn. This was the obvious answer and by saying it straightforward he made sure that we know that we have no idea how the trick actually worked.

Yeah, one rule of this show, if Penn says so directly how the trick is done we can be sure that he doesn't know the answer or doesn't want to reveal the secret. I think that sometimes, when the trick is really good and original or they like the whole performance they pretend that they don't know how it is done to reward the magician with the prize.

@@wiadp1 Of course, irt is all for show!

@@wiadp1 that when the magician fool them, in my opinion

Yup!

Aw! Thank you for the kind words. Means a lot.

I agree with you man. He's really a natural

😊

Thought the same thing^^ You really look like him Zak :P

Ah yes "How you met your mother" my favourite show.

Isn't it how I met your mother ?

We have found another doppleganger. Stabby magic guy. 😂😂

lmao

Thanks, Mr. Farquhar! 😂

@@MIRZ365 Oh damn, one fooler commenting on another! Time to stab a blank book to the exact page where my card is, or something. :)

@@MIRZ365 loved this trick, man! Great stuff

Haha, I see what you did there 😉

Hey, Shawn is here! 😂

And let her pick the card, and the knife, and the 3 cuts. I have no idea how this trick was done.

@@4547466 As a magician once told me when I asked him that same question: it was done masterfully ;)

What is magnetic besides steel?

I think you are right about it being magnetic. However I think he placed the 3 under the knifes cards as he was moving the table forward to reveal the card.

That makes sense.@@christhetanman2639

What?

@@1369brandon care to elaborate on your what?

@@DStructureOfficial What?

Yes, I hate when people do that.

Thank you!

@@MIRZ365 I guess the metal plate as something to stop the blade wasn't *attractive* enough, were you surprised he went for the blockage theory over well, the truth?

@@MIRZ365 could it have to do with the cards sticking to one another when stabbed and the 3 is the card that didn’t stick to the rest and also 3 had no stab marks

@@LasseLundster are you guys serious ⁉️🙄 do you expect him to discuss the "secrets of his trade" on this plateau ❓ ✋🏻 😠

I believe it was a metal card and he lied. Reason: the rehearsal would have been important to ensure she stabs hard enough to go through to the plate.

@@thestarshavefallen the Producer knows how the trick is done, and is the judge and referee, so the performer is not able to, or allowed to lie because the Producer will step in, and they also have the final word on whether Penn gets it right, so no, he didn't lie. That doesn't mean it wasn't a plastic plate, or that it wasn't a metal plate ABOVE the card with some magnetic cards, just that the exact way Penn worded it was not correct.

@@ke6gwf Exactly- Penn only seems to have in mind that a plate is the only way it was possible, however... I looked at the 3 of spades at the end and it didn't have a knife mark on it so I suspect that the original comment may be right with a magnet of some kind but not necessarily how Penn worded it. So if the magician were lying, the producers for sure would have corrected the situation.

@@dustercat21 I enjoy parsing Penn's code, and what I hear him saying is "we are unable to pinpoint exactly how you did this, and we like your act and want you on our show, so we are going to explain in great detail the way WE did the trick on the David Letterman show, which everyone already knows about, because we are positive that you did NOT do it that way!" If that had been a legitimate guess, and they actually thought he did it that way, they would have used fancy words "you put a lot on your PLATE when you STEEL our act" and the like, to drop their hints, but they didn't do that. The other possibility is if they were upset at him, thought he was so lame for trying to fool them with their own trick that they were going to roast him, and it backfired, but I doubt that, because he did a pretty good trick and show! The rules of the show are that they can make one guess, and it has to be specific. They can't just say "you used Magnets", they have to say, "the 3 was attracted to the cards above it in the same way that my kid's homework is attracted to the fridge door" etc. And there are quite a few specific ways it could be done, and if they couldn't settle on one as the most likely, they may just throw the game lol I personally think Penn wanted him to win, and so just was being a showman with his "guess" knowing it was wrong, to be sure he didn't accidentally get it right!

The three of Spades is Penn's favorite card to force so I think there was a force and I think the three of Spades was the only card that could be attracted by a magnet He had Alison pick one of the knives in his jacket because they are held in there by a magnet which magnetized the metal knife and the knife stop at the 3 and picked it up 3 wasn't metal but it was something solid and magnetic

Thank you for the support, Mark!

Thank you for the kind words, Julie!

Right next to Kostya

Kostya, Shin, that card mechanic.. Richard?, the time traveling puppeteer...

Yes, Richard Turner.

@@Bl4ckw0lf1 Don't forget Shawn Faraquar!

Its all simple tricks seen before even on P&T. the only question is what holds the card to the knife.

That was my first impression as well since the tool doesn't seem to get through above, although forcing the card doesn't seem that easy from the way it was "selected". Maybe a couple of deck switches. But then I though what Penn & Teller said and made more sense.

@@gonzalogoded2089 The selection is fine! The printer in his pocket etc can print any card! on the special made card with the insert which makes the card thick you can see it in the deck! Its just a question of how it sticks to the knife. I would say its highly magnetic or maybe the knife!

@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 The knife is normal, but I think you're on the right track. In code speak, I would say there is more that there's more than one force involved.

@@RealitysSuccessor Card was not forced it was printed on the special card! Which he slips into the deck (the card is lighter than the original :) Or he just adds PLATE METAL CARD BACK under the 3C (if the lightness is camera effect etc) Cause when he puts the cards on the table theres clearly naughties going on and thats after they edit stuff out! Tho now I think he most prob puts the card on the front of a block of cards with the metal stopper above the 3C. solving the problem of how the knife holds the card up! 😁 Also hes a few card short a of deck 😁 (hence the quick cut from fanning) and the 3C does look thick!

Aw! Thanks for the kind words, Rafael!

Thank you so much!

I'd bet he was told it had to come off and he was in a position as a young adult looking for guidance, encouragement and hope ... a substitute dad moment if you will. I've had this done for me many times.

@@RonPiggott I bet it was for another reason. The sound crew must have "loved" that jacket. No spoilers.

That makes sense, but since he appears to use a svengali deck or similar for the force, it seems like it would be overkill when you're always going to stab either to the card or through the card, and then it's a simple magician's choice whether to reveal the one on the deck or on the knife tip

Yeah there's really no other way this could have been done without a metal plate of some kind. I think he just played a semantic game to win the trophy

@@BrendanWhelan: You're entirely wrong. The solution is fairly simple, but I'm not going to reveal it. However, using a metal plate is very dangerous and Penn & Teller would never allow it. That is most likely _why_ he revealed it, to give the performer the chance to say it's _not_ how it's done, because it's important that people _don't_ believe that. The real solution is very far from that. If you really want to know, there is a very glaring visual and verbal hint in the video. That's as far as I'll go. :)

@@jeschinstad what do you mean a metal plate is dangerous and penn & teller wouldn't allow it? How is adding a metal plate to a deck of cards dangerous?

@@BrendanWhelan: You can't just stop a force by imposing an immovable object. Something has to give and when you're dealing with a sharp object moving unpredictably with a great force, someone's gonna get hurt. Not every time, but eventually, you're going to hurt someone. In Norway, the magicians used to perform the real bullet catching trick, where you fire a real bullet with a real gun, against someone's head and the artist would catch the bullet with their mouth. You will say that can't be true, because you think that a real gun firing a real bullet will have to be deadly. You're missing an element, right? What you're missing is the fact that you can adjust the power provided by the gun powder and that's what they did before sanity was invented. I can reveal this because it is now strictly illegal and will never be done in Norway again. You can't violate the laws of nature, so in that sense, it's perfectly safe, as long as everyone does everything perfectly perfectly, all of the time. But the human factor doesn't go away, so every time you pull the trigger, chances increase that the performer will die. I will reveal the trick now, in this carefully crafted wall of text, since we're so deep into it and it's a matter of safety. There is nothing special about the deck. It is the knife that is special. The knife he stabs into the table, is a real knife, so it is not used and that is why he "jokingly" says «choose a knife, any knife». What he is telling her, is to not make the obvious choice, which is the knife that he stabbed the table with. He does not allow her to use the _actual_ knife, which is already out and on the table. The prop knives he has in his jacket, are only sharp at the start of the blade and as the knife cuts through the cards, the upper cards eventually reaches the dull part of the blade, stopping the cutting action, preventing the knife from going deeper. The force you use is irrelevant, because the deck of cards is laminated. This is also why his prop knives does not have a stab guard, preventing the hand from slipping and sliding down over the sharp edge. Don't tell people what the trick is, because it will ruin the trick, but please _do_ tell them that you understand why it is not anti-Newtonian physics using a metal card. The edge isn't sharp and the only sharp edge of the knife is embedded in the cards. Even holding your thumb at the hammer end of the real knife, would not be safe for someone who is not specially trained, because the power of your arm is so much greater than the power of your thumb. A volunteer would eventually cut their fingers to the bone, which would be bad for the magician. This is also a good reason not to stab someone to death; you are going to cut your fingers. :)
