My performance on Penn & Teller: FOOL US Original air date August 27 2018 Season 5 Episode 10 Darcy Oake makes Penn's selected card vanish and reappear inside a bottle locked in a box.
This is a PRIME example of why knowing how a trick is done does not have to ruin it. I followed it, front to back and STILL was amazed and entertained. And THAT'S what magic is REALLY about. Secrets are one thing, being able to entertain and amaze has NOTHING to do with secrets. I loved this.
This guy is a pro. Which means he uses the latest and most popular tricks. It’s like singing Billboards top 10 in auditions. Even if you are really good, you still hit “enjoyable” instead of “surprising”.
Even if it was forced, he could have told me that he's going to put the 5 of hearts in a bottle that is corked, inside 2 boxes that will both be locked shut, and I wouldn't understand how he did it.
Been a fan since BGT with your Doves. Blew my mind! Always wanted to see you on P&T. Great job and even though you didn't fool them you entertained the hell out of me again! Want to see you live some day!
It was a pleasure getting to see this live and meeting you in person in Windsor! You are such a class act Darcy. Thank you for being an inspiration for many up and comers to bring style and class to our shows.
3:30 mistake here: Pen puts 1 card face up as instructed, you'll notice when he's given the deck back the 8 of diamonds is folded (sneaky pen) , he then flips the deck and proceeds to take out his forced card 5 of hearts. It's impressive how Pen plays along so as not to ruin the trick, because the magic is being done for the enjoyment of all viewers, not just P and T. Still loved the trick and have no idea what went wrong with the card selection process, or how he got the loaded bottle to swap
@Declan Washington yeah penn folded the 8 diamonds and put at the top to mark it to see which card he chosen. Haha but is good way to expose the trick. Its a cheap trick though, would been more impressive if he is allowed to sign on the card.
I get a sense of recognition and pride whenever I see Darcy Oake. Not only as a man learning magic and piano but as a fellow Winnipeger. He makes me proud to be a Winnipeger. Next time he's back home I have to see him.
Penn and teller always proof that all those Got Talent magician is just silly actor, pretty face for amateur, do Darcy know that other magician sign the card now day? If Penn sign the card and the card goes to the bottle i will call Darcy Pro, but this trick is easy. Well at least Darcy is very handsome, i wont mind watching him again and again.
4:17 for the card trick, if you frame by frame through 4:18 there’s 1 frame where the cards are missing entirely. He goes up with 3, then there’s a frame with just his hand, then he goes down with 2. But his hand doesn’t change positions, so he’s not doing a slight at least at that moment.
I love you so very much Darcy I'm so very proud of u. I think your the best illusionist in the world! I really adored the beautiful card magic when u put the card in the bottle that was wonderful how u did that. Your beautiful brother Bruce will forever be proud of u and will continue to rest in peace in heaven. #RIPBruce 😍😇😘✌️🙏🌹🌹🌻🌻🤗❤️❤️❤️🦄🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s more difficult to fool Teller. Penn is not too difficult to fool. That’s why in most cases, if you fool Penn, you fooled Penn. but if you fool Teller, you fooled both Penn and Teller.
You know what makes me angry? That the guy who put a cookie into his mouth with handkerchief did fool them, but this guy with the amazing and professional trick did not.
Sergey Rudakov leave cookie man alone! i loved him 😂 it was so simple and dumb but how could you not appreciate it? then again darcy is a pro, would’ve liked to see him get some kinda reward here. still his life’s work after this got me thinkin he’s doing juuust fine so i wouldn’t worry too much abt him
So the 5 of hearts was forced. You can see that he hides the picked middle card with his right hand while the 5 of hearts was already flipped before handing it over to Penn. The real trick is how he did that little shake to make the 5 of hearts disappeared between the jokers. The locked boxes were gimmicks with hidden compartment.
Really enjoy watching this show. Everytime someone performs I am rooting for the "fooling" part because I am like a kid astonished how cool the magic is and I don't want to hear or know how it's done, I think that it means much more to me if I have no idea how it's done. This was a great performance and one of my favorites on the show.
Yes, it was just an illusion of free choice, as Penn claims. Your assumption of no free choice is therefore absolutely correct. The supernatural does not exist, so there is only cleverness left and, thanks to cleverness, to create the supernatural illusion. A flat bottle (3cm) has its purpose. It can be well hidden not only in a small box behind the fabric pad at an angle, but can be "dropped" by a simple mechanism into a larger box with a piece of cloth when the small box was pulled out. Therefore the large box was immediately closed to serve casually as a table. Simply cleverness, cleverness, cleverness and great art of manipulation. If it were a card of free will, he would already have a trophy.
Some Darcy trivia. His father is a well-known sports broadcaster in Canada (Scott Oake). Growing up in Winnipeg one of his best friends is Ryan Reaves who plays for the Vegas Golden Knights. Reaves would sometimes show up at the Oake household in a swimsuit and robe. "Just going for a soak in the hot tub folks!" Ryan would also make fun of Scott's fading hairline during interviews for "Hockey Night in Canada".
I love how much Penn and Teller give their fellow magicians Such respect when they come on the show, even know they knew how he did it. They are very sweet and nice about it. They don't want to crush their dreams. Great performance. I seen Darcey on BGT and he was so good.
They know the method that's why he didn't fool them but if the card was signed then he would have an argument about it being in the bottle cox that would change the focus of the trick ...
It's so often comes down to the fact that Penn and Teller are truly Geniuses in the field of magic. They read every single book that is released by every magician and Illusionist. Not just the famous and popular but everyone that comes out. I've so often seen them catch a trick because of a book that they read. With that said this was phenomenal we know that magic isn't real but when you can watch sleight of hand up that close and not even care how it's done because the trick is so amazing that is good magic. Well done. Much Applause.
Think it's a gimmicked box that actually is able to put the card into the bottle by the swirl of the lock mechanism but could be way off, the thickness of the metal boxes could be evidence for it or a forced card.
This threw me at first, but I think the case has a false bottom with the bottle with the card in it. The reference to "adhere" suggests thats he had to "stick" the 5 of hearts to the card Penn picked. He then used that sticky card to the joker so it "disappears." And that's that.
the reason its easy to know how it's done is because of logic, the only way he can put the 5 in there is if it was already in there so now we have to figure out how he forced the 5 of hearts. thats why penn and teller figured it out
There is hidden bottle in the small box secret compartment, when he shows putting an empty bottle into the box actually he places hidden bottle with the card (5 of hearts) in the box and hides empty one in secret compartment. Then forces 5 of hearts to be the card picked by Penn, that's why he warns Teller not to look what Penn picks.
Card was forced. The bottle Teller pulls out is a different bottle (have a look at how far the cork protrudes). Probably a false floor that flips when the box is placed inside the other.
Dunno. The cork does _seem_ to protrude a bit more; wish there was better resolution and shorter shutter speed. Definitely there is a striation on the top of the cork that aligns identically in both shots ( 2:24 ; 4:44 [the last few frames]), when you can get the exact right frames.
Penn selected a random card, the reason Teller was not allowed to see it was because it was completely random, not 5 of hearts (the one in the bottle). When the magician flipped the deck to show Penns selection he inserted the 5 of hearts card he wanted (and hid Penns selected card).
ZittoN 19 nah. i don't buy that because i'm not retarded and desperate to believe that patently silly explanation in order for all to be well in my world again. in other words, i can get over myself, unlike you guys ;)
Don't understand why everyone is saying the card is glued to the top of the deck. The answer is the 5 of hearts was already flipped and located at the bottom of the deck, and as soon as penn did the cut, the 5 of hearts overlay Penn's card. When the 5 was revealed, he did an obvious move hiding back penns card to the top of the deck. What's I'm more confused is how the vanishing trick is done.
It's not a new trick. A preloaded bottle, a gimmicked box, a forced card. Penn and Teller have seen this trick literally thousands of times. They appreciated how WELL it was done, but it didn't fool them, at all.
I think Darcy is a superb illusionist. Although it seems that P&T might have had some familiarity with the concept behind this particular trick as they said he had the balls to do it right in front of them and he did it well, and other then they it was pretty darn effective with the rest of the audience. Darcy comes across very personable and I really enjoy his stuff. Not pretentious at all. And there is no doubt the women love him but then of course he is Canadian....
