Penn & Teller vs. A Magic Hamster CW Original Air Date 01.19.24 Including Magicians: Jo De Rijck Adrian Vega Nao Murata Jonathan Steigman Penn & Teller
My idea> Each tile has a unique scent that Teller wouldn't have noticed but the hamster can recognize. Teller had a free choice, but note only his selected tile ever went under the hat. The hat is then offered to the hamster so it can identify the scent it needs to find. It is then let loose into the maze and knows which tile to select to match the scent it has been given. Is this how it was done?
@@AH-te5gs They did not guess it on this occasion, and I've watched the show since the very start and I am not aware of another hamster act at all, leat of all one with a scent-isolated area for scent selection plus maze with multiple areas for scent matching type of setup. Can you point to one? Otherwise the above entirely nulls your argument against my idea in my (admittedly completely amateur) opinion. But I am open to other suggestions if you have one?
The videographers were a bit slack when editing this video. They pressed the wrong canned laughter button because when the view switched to the audience on at least two occasions the laugh/clap/yell button was pressed when the audience was only clapping, lol.
Hampsters have a really good sense of smell. The fish tile had a smell and it went into the hat, which was then put near the hampster. Someone in the comments argued about it, but that is the answer
One thing to note. The woman who performed was conveying a true love. It was not romantic at all in nature. She was the only one there that was aware of that type of love. Everyone was so quick to call her performance romantic. I, however, thought of my father. Beautiful art.
The hamster was taught to follow scent. Teller touched only 1 tile, afterwards the hamster was put on Tellers head, the hamster immediately followed his scent.
I don't think it's about the scent of tellers hand at all actually, more like the scent of the cube. Depending on how good the hat captures the scent the hamster may have been able to identify it. Still though, ballsy if he did it like that.
@@Cthulhus_Mum But he already had an envelope in hand when she said that she picked Penn. Yeah, he could have switched it somehow if she had picked Teller, and it just never came to this. But still …
@@twowiseguys666 That might be possible, but I didn’t see anything like that. Maybe there were envelopes within each other. Penn’s explanation sounded a little like this.
I knew the Spanish guy will not fool them. Breaking the bottle gave it away and because of the greats like Dany Ortiz and many others, they have been studying everything Spain. If he had come before, I am sure it would be a fooler.
All the tiles were a fish that teller had a choice to pick. When the magician put the hamster in the box, there are scent in the area that he was put in but three of the boxes away from the scent has different logos on the bottom so the magician only shows those three to act like all the boxes were different. If he flipped all of the remaining boxes, they would of all been fishes.
I dont think a lot of the magicians come on trying to fool Penn & Teller, I think they're there for the exposure and just wanna put on a decent show, ie: the Japanese girl and the little dude Jonathan.
Pretty sure magicians pick one route or the other. Either they will show a large audience their best trick or they will try to fool. Those that try to fool often have less impressive tricks but they are built in a way that the ending isn't obvious or that can be done in multiple ways to force Penn and Teller to pick a path and risk being wrong.
That JAPANESE female Magician was SO CUTE.... REALLY .... Asian girls/women are very CUTE. ( I'm Asian too but I'm not boasting our Asian beauties... it's a FACT ..😊 ).
It isn't only the host but Penn and Teller too. On a different comment, someone mentioned that this enables them to edit episodes the way they want them to have (not too many foolers at once, not too long/short acts and such)
