Penn & Teller: Fool Us // Hayden Childress // Amazing Trick with Tape! 

Actually Hayden was been amazing audiences much sooner than high school. He was doing some card tricks in 8th grade which none of his teachers, including me, could figure out (then known as Haydini). He is a fine young man and I'm so proud of how far he has come in his career and look forward to seeing how much further he'll go. Well done, Hayden!

I'm so glad we've reached the point where truly impressing P&T is as meaningful as fooling them. Great routine.

“Allyson did you feel it “ “No” “ I get that a lot” The way he looks at the camera ..Rofl!!!

What a beautiful routine ! Yes. I am big fan of P&T. It is not always about fooling them - it is always about good entertainment. And absolutely yes - it was. Thx Mr. Childress.

I know how this trick works. You see that stutter in the video? He is using a lag switch and some frame perfect timing in order to clip through his fingers.

One of those routines where you start out kinda bored, but then it surprises you with a twist and gets better and better from there. You certainly got the "exceeding expectations" part down!

Bro that Ace of Spades trick was some legit dedication, I tip my hat.

Any trick that begins with something stupid immediately has my attention because I love that roller coaster ride of escalation. I suspect how this trick is done is very very simple, but the skill to do it must be insane!!! I love it!!!

People talk about going the extra mile. Sounds like you went the extra 1,500 miles for that ace trick.

2:17 Teller is scribbling notes while looking straight ahead!!

The routining here is almost better than the trick itself. Absolutely brilliantly put together!

Thats the best thumb tie routine I’ve ever seen, great moments of magic along with some beautiful subtleties.. Well done..

The simplest yet one of the best routine I've ever seen on this show. My mind was blown.

It doesn't matter if he fooled Penn and Teller or not, that was great entertainment!

holding hands with Alison is definitely a win

When he asked if she'd ever had her hands taped, she should have said, "There was this one time at magic camp..."

Doing close up magic is one thing, above that is using the audience to assist in the magic, never knew you could go above that, and actually have them be the one performing magic. That is so special. This is on a whole level on its own.

That flying out there thing is amazing. That creates such a magical moment. He should have done something like that here. Come to studio a year in advance and hide something or something like that.

I love Penn's tip at the end...

This is such an impressive routine! Really enjoyed it, over & over!

Magic done in front of our eyes is so much more powerful. Not in an envelope, not under a cloth, not behind your hands, but right there, as we stare directly at that ring.

All I’m going to say is that motion blur is this guy’s friend in this routine. Amazing trick. I was completely fooled until Penn dropped his final clue. Even knowing how it’s done, I still can’t see it happening.

That is top notch handling, Hayden. Damn, man.

That was beautifully done, congratulations!

Excellent work!

Ohh man! That was so cool 💯👍🙌

Amazing! You blew my mind!

I am a North Carolina magician as well. Always a pleasure to see other North Carolina magicians on the show! Great job.

Dude that is so pure. Top shelf magic right there.

Woah. This is a new upload in my feed! Whoop! Well, it might not have fooled Penn & Teller but it dumbfounded me gosh darn it! Loved the routine.

Its not about how easy the method is. Its about what he makes out of it. Well done Sir!

This was awesome!

This one is my new favorite fool us routine.

man i love Alyson she was my first celeb crush, she's adorable, hilarious and gorgeous, she just gets more beautiful every day

OK, magicians are going crazy! How can this not be magic?

Wonderful routine!!!

loved this - classy new take kick ass man !

enjoyed it a lot. amazing.

That was great !

I loved this routine! Well done! I know it's an old trick... but I'm an old fool.

amazing amazing. I was JUST working on something similar for Fool us. Looks like I might need to scrap.

Yeesh. Well, you fooled me. That was awesome

weldone mate, you did fool me there. goodluck Hayden keep up the good work bro

Dude thAt was unreal.

That was seriously a beautiful routine like Penn said. Wow. Thanks for sharing Hayden.

This was awesome

I think Penn and Teller are doing these shows to learn every single thing they can possibly know to make the biggest comeback ever not that they don't know most anything but now they know more more than most and they're just learning and learning

Alyson is so perfect for this job :)

I'm not really a fan of those things, but the way you used it here is amazing. And you weren't kidding when you said wrap it as tight as you can, that makes life a little easier for this one lol.

Great magic. Fresh.

I agree the trip to Vegas to hold Alison’s hand was worth the ticket.

I think what's more impressive than magic is how they speak to each other in code and is non magicians have no idea what subtext is being spoken

Even knowing how this type of trick is done, and watching slowed down, you really are a master at it. I can't see a tell. Well done!

Very entertaining!

😃

I want to learn this trick! It's so cool

you fooled me!! wowwww

Loved it.

Honestly a lifetime of work doing magic tricks is worth it to hold Alysons hand. 🥰

Omg that's clever!

Going into this trick I was like, ah yep this thing. I've seen this before. And after watching it, I'm like, that's the craziest thing I've seen yet.

Damn! you fooled me! Keep it up man!

That was a great routine bro, very cool

One of the most awe inspiring act. It breaks your heart to not see such acts get a consolation prize at least.

Very simple trick. But very well done.

you almost got a thousand subs sir. congratulations.

Well done, Sir

Wow, dude! Huge compliments from magi to magi on well honed routine!

Wow. By knowing how to do it is even more impressive. This is some serious skill. Holy shit

My brain hurts after that! What a great trick!

I salute you bro..very humble person..from PH

"I got to hold hands with Alyson Hannigan that was worth the trip to Vegas alone" Man that would be worth learning magic just for that alone!!!

Impressive thanks for sharing subscribed

May not have fooled Penn and Teller, but fooled the hell out of me! I'm clueless!

This show fucking rocks. I literally have zero interest in magic (except for watching it,) but this is awesome.

Liked bc North Carolina. Oh yeah and the trick was incredible

Penn has called a lot of routines beautiful. Sometimes he's dead on like with Shin Lim, and a lot of the times I have no idea why he's saying it. Either it's flattery, or there's something I'm just missing. For this one, Penn is dead on. Your routine was really calculated, you've clearly worked on it for a long time. It was like each line was built to catch somebody who doesn't already know the trick's next thought. I really liked it, the flow was damned excellent. A trick doesn't need to be technically great to be masterfully delivered, and that's what you've done here. Right on Hayden.

I think I know how its done. I want to try it out now haha this looks amazing. He performed it like an absolute master. bravo

Awesome 👍

fabulous

Ok, Batman. "I'm telling you with prep time, Hayden can fool anybody"

Wow ! I have no Idea how you do that!

Wow that was really great. Just 1 Trick? And all that?? Dang this guys really good

Veeery nice!

Really Great Performance!!! Can see the thumb pulling out of the tape but only because we can see close up from the cameras.

Alyson is such a banger

My guy shot a shot for all of us. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾

To be fair: with Penn & Teller you could've probably used pretty much any classical magic item you wanted and chances are they'd have it lying around their home anyways :) Fantastic trick though, very nicely done.

1:30 what's he doing to this THUMB??? LOL

Excellent! Plus you got to hold hands with Alyson! Double Win! 😀

I'd fly to Vegas just to hold hands with Alison too.

WOW!!!!!!! How in the HELL !!!!

"You feel that?" "No" "I get that a lot" "Eww" 🤣🤣

Fooled me!

Beautiful routine Hayden

I don't see how that is explained by the Japanese Thumb Tie trick, but I guess Penn and Hayden did. Really great trick, it certainly baffled me!

Losander would be proud!

Watching the show my ring on my right hand 🤚 passed to left ✋ 😲

Anyone with a rational mind can very easily see and understand this is not illusion. You are doing real magic and it is MINDBLOWING! Some of the simplest effects, I think are done with the most sophisticated technique. Clearly, you are from the future, and using some amazing co-location technology to allow matter to pass through other matter. There is no other explanation. Well done! Fantastically done!

Jeez. I thought he'd have fooled P&T almost as badly as he fooled me. 😊
