stress is not natural edit:- I dont understand in what context i made this comment, I just mean to say that stress can be managed, if you are able to manage yourself really well you can make it so you are never mentally stressed, I would like to differentiate it between fatigue or tiredness stress at least the way I have defined it in my mind is that, it is more about worrying/anxiety and less about actual problem, for example one may be stressing about their exams instead of focusing or dealing with it in another manner, but this can be eliminated but without managing anything stress is indeed very natural and the fatigue/tiredness the man would have gone through while doing those things would have been huge
jaswik lmao yes it is. Even when we were just cavemen we had stress. Stress from where our next meal was coming from. Stress from making sure nothing hunted us and ate us. Etc
@@pnut3844able to elaborate stress just decreases your capabilities leading to frustration or anxiety What the caveman had was either a fight or flight response most of the time or desperation Desperation actually can lead to either success or breaking your mind Stress is absolutely artificial coming from a constipated mind and millions of inconclusive or indecisive opinions about the world The caveman did not have time to make conclusions which were indecisive
jaswik you're talking out of your ass. Stress has been around since man has. Cavemen had stress. You can try and twist it around all you want, but stress is natural to animals with higher brain functions such as humans
This trick is ultra neat, very beautiful, flawless, done with great stage presence plus a super cheerful behavior, it's really a bliss to see. Congrats!
This guy is so good that they probably know that there is only one way to do this which is perfect control of the cards. This guy probably should not be allowed near the state of Nevada.
he did a shuffle pattern that set up the cards. all whats left is picking the first, 2nd or bottom card depending on the number given. so if you can do 3 simple techniques its actually ridiculously easy
dealing from the bottom ...actually second from top as pointed out to me. whoops. no winder i thought looked so good. Done well but not good enough for this show. Ive only watched to 3:20 while writing this but i will say if P&T say they're fooled they're lying.
I figured there is no other way to do this, that doesn't subtract from the fact that this is extremely technically demanding. Also it is questionable if they could exactly explain when, what and how did hi do everything.
I love this trick and this competition it's not toxic and filled with manufactured drama, it's an actual competition, showing amazing people with incredible passion showing off their hard won skills to the world... and Penn & Teller🥰🥰🥰
it's unlike any stupid show competition i've ever seen. Obv the way they need to divulge whether they figured it out without breaking the magicians code is one of the best ideas i've ever seen in this format. so cool!
this is literally just unbelievable trick!! I am lucky not to be in theater and see that in my eyes, because if so, I would have pass out from trying to understand how the hell did you do that!! 😭😭
@@Joffrerap well you just need to adjust a bit depending on what (1,2 or 3) the people say, otherwise the deck is in a perfectly calculated order right out of the box. I think Vsauce made a video explaining this.
I saw one slip drawing from the middle from memory.... 4:44 knowing that's how he is doing it makes it wayyy more impressive to me. This guys brain is amazing.
The fact that they know does not mean they've seen it. And yes, they are really really good. And i love the fact they created this show for others magicians to come and show what they can do
A lot of magic falls under very similar premises (stuff like fake shuffles, bottom dealing, forces, etc). Then sometimes common props are used (this deck is tapered). Everything else is just wrapping the trick up in different ways to make it shiny and new. But no matter the dressing, the same principals still exist. Once P&T spot the false shuffles at the beginning (which they can probably see with their eyes closed at this point), they have a very good idea how the rest of the trick is going to pan out.
@@monodescarado I might add to that, that just because they know how the trick "works", does not at all mean they could execute it the way people on their show are doing it. Knowing is not enough, it takes a lot of work to master these techniques to a point it seems effortless
well to be fair this could not fool them because theres only one way to do it...or at least one way with maybe a some variants...imo...them knowing how its done does not mean they could do it themselves though...like for example I know how David Blane does the Deck disappearing trick...but I can't do it
I think they indeed sometimes do. They just missed the mark on this one. Jimmy deserved the trophy here. Such wholesome presentation, just smooth flow throughout everything.
Trophy means little, for a magician reputation is what truly matters. They nailed this trick due to the fact that they recognized certain method, if they blatantly acted as if they got fooled, it is a direct hit to their reputation.
@@coupdegrace2767 Cant really agree with you. For 3 main reasons: 1. Penn and Teller are probably the most recognized magicians in the world. One 'fooled us' is not going to do diddly squat to hurt their reputation. 2. They have done this on other occasions. 3. The show is designed in a way that reputation is not really at stake as much as you would think. They get one shot at guessing how something was done. A magician is able to use uncountable forced fakes or bluffs or make intentional mistakes to make it look like he/she did it one way when actually doing it another and Penn and Teller have to either get which one of the numerous methods was used this time or admit they got fooled. Fool us is not about Penn and Teller not knowing how the trick could have possibly been done, its about magician throwing enough smoke in their face to win on technicality.
But the goal is not, to do a trick that they can figure out, so well, that the „normal“ audience doesn’t see how it works, the goal is to do a trick so well, that they can’t figure out how it works. And for someone how does magic it was very easy to see how this trick worked, although it was very well done.
I don't want to know how these tricks are done, I like the feeling of wonderment it gives me, it takes me back to the innocence of my 7 y-o self for a few minutes and I love it..
I don't care if he didn't fool them but that was the most magical card trick I have seen performed on stage and his stage presence is absolutely commendable! 🙌🙌
Just amazing, your father's matrix was the neatest, most virtuoso trick I had ever seen and you are absolutely matching his mastery. I'm sure you made him proud, which is a feat in itself.
After watching about 4 times, I finally realize the mechanics of how the trick works... but this must have taken so long to practice I think. I can't reveal too much, but once you see the pattern spread, the mechanics are easy to figure out, but the skill though... I'm just speechless and I want to see more of these
perfect act. Sad he is not a fooler. i have seen many far more sluggish act to be a fooler. so sad, it is like Shawshank redemption not winning a single oscar...
If i'm not mistaken, 2 facts explain the gist of how he does this: 1 he doesn't deal the topmost card 2 he, incredibly, keeps track of the order of the deck seriously, before every "deal" he fans the cards, i think he memorizes the order! crazy
@@Tech_General I've noticed the same thing actually. Certain people walk on and pull a coin from behind someone's ear and they make one guess and call down the prize. Other people walk on and make the building disappear and they magically know how it was done. Still enjoy the show though. It's about them finding magic though. Not awarding magicians for being incredible at what they do. Keep that in mind.
First time watching these, it's cool how Penn talks in hints and codes when he busts the trick, this is like the only talent show where everyone feels like a winner, mad props
Ive watched EVERY single Fool Us episode since they started this show, and i believe this is the most times you see Alyson's mouth completely just dropped over and over again. I also don't believe in older episodes, that you ever see Jonathan's mouth drop this many times during one single magician's act. I'm a big fan of the show and believe that even if the act doesn't fool Penn & Teller, if it's done so flawlessly and beautifully, the magician should be able to go home with some kind of trophy or better yet, just for proving how great they can perform, give them one night in the Vegas show. I think that would be well deserved by Jimmy Ichihana & a lot of other magicians that weren't foolers, but just absolutely fantastic at their craft!
@@JimmyIchihana It's kinda sad that a trick that is based on so much skill does not get the prize just because skill is the only way it could be done, where some other magicians just do a simple trick that has 1000 options and have penn and teller guess the wrong one. Ridiculously skilled tricks like this one should get more recognition.
Jimmy l absolutely loved the performance and right now the curiosity inside me about how you did the trick is driving me crazy!! Hopefully l can find how to do it!! :)
When he fanned out the cards prior to the count, they were arranged in a skipped order as well as ascending and descending. If you put the video in slow-motion you can see that he deals the cards from over and under to re-arrange them. Beautiful stuff with how smooth he does it.
You have no idea how much I absolutely love this routine. I come back to watch it regularly and I love it every time. You ooze charisma and I hope you succeed in everything that you do.
Man... You can fool me with this all day as a magician myself... This is amazing... I wish I knew how it works... And I will make it my number one routine.
theres a moment where he stutters and you can see hes doing a bottom deal. so its just a matter of doing bottom and center deals and whatnot. but its done so well, and knowing where everything is in order to deal the right car is amazing.
center deals are completely useless. I think you are right about everything else though. Even as a magician, I can't figure out how he got the other suits back in order. Those shuffles at the start were genuine.
That's the best kind of magic for me! I've been reading magic books for more than 50 years and although I can fool my family and close friends, I can never do it like the professionals!
Awesome visual trick. I'm not a magician, just a simple watcher that would like to know how to do an amazing trick like this, and, despite not fooling them, I really appreciated the overall effect. Congrats, sir. Thank you!
I think if the show ended without showing the rest of the deck would be better, as penn once said "magic has to be amazing but remotely plausible", if its done too perfect actually lowers the amazement.
Jimmy, I must say you did a supernice and very enjoyable performance!!!!! I've enjoyed it a LOT!!! This is how professional card magic should look like: elegant, perfect handling, and with a smile on your face all the way to the end... BRILLIANT!!! :-) Thanks for sharing it with the world! :-D
It’s crazy because this is such incredible skill. No tricks really. Might be impossible to fool P&T with just skill but I find it way more impressive than tricks. Love it!
I'm an engineer not a magician. I don't really like magic or even own cards. I just picked a random part of this to explain to my wife. (But then I went ahead and explained the rest.) I'll explain how the cards got from the order shown at 3:59 (all the black cards) and ended up in a sorted pile of spades and a sorted pile of clubs. I don't explain how he made that order but suffice to say he had some way. For this part of the trick, he needs to be able to deal the top card (easy), bottom card (easy, though he flubs it at 4:50), and second card (I've never tried but I assume not hard). When he shows the black cards face-up at 3:59-4:00 you can screenshot it. THE CARDS MUST BE IN THIS EXACT ORDER TO MAKE THE TRICK WORK! The cards are alternating suits (exception, starting with two spades). All the ODD cards (inc. A J K) occur once each, then the order is reversed. Then all the even cards (inc. Q) occur once each then the order is reversed. With this card order, he knows to make groups of 1, 2, or 3 cards, when to deal the top card or the second card, and it's easy to keep track of. For "groups of 1" it's top, second. For "groups of 2" he deals top top, top second. For "groups of 3" he deals top top second, top top second. Once he deals the right pile, he has to do same number of cards in the left pile, and whether it's groups of 1, 2, or 3, he always has two spades on top of his deck after doing the left deal. NOW, look at 4:27! We have the spades in descending order odds, then ascending even, right? K J 9 7 5 4 A 2 4 6 8 10 Q. Now he counts through the cards showing there's really 13. When he does this he deals top (K) onto the table. Then deals from the bottom (Q). Top (J) bottom (10). 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 A. So now that pile is in order. The clubs are simply reverse order, with ascending odds, descending evens (I think to keep you from noticing the pattern at 3:59). So when he goes and "verifies" for you that there are 13 clubs, he's actually putting them in A 2 3 4 5... K order. At this point the trick is done. All the black cards are sorted. At 5:10 getting people to say 1, 2, or 3 is just a distraction. The cards are in order as I've explained, and he's laying them down such that he can again pick them up in order he sets them down. (So what happened UP to 4:00? Briefly, he "forced" the deck. Either his shuffles weren't real shuffles, or he really shuffled then switched decks. The deck is set up to do the same trick I outlined above, but starts with two red cards then alternates. The black cards are already in the order I explained at 4:00. The red cards are also in a forced order: alternating diamonds and hearts, with the diamonds going up from A while hearts go down from K. At 3:42 while he distracts with his nervous/humble act, look how he's gripping the sides of the cards and pulling them into two piles. I imagine one suit's cards a little wider, so they're being pulled away from the other suit. He puts one pile on top of the other, and now the red card's are perfectly ordered as we see at the end.)
Correct enough, but saying that bottom dealing or second dealing is easy is a massive under statement, it takes years to be able to be as proficient with it as he is and to say it is easy is a little offensive to the time it takes to be able to do it.
I think they said that they know how is it done, but they couldn't perform it so flawlessly. I am doomed that it is possible.... You might know how to pick those cards, but just how they got all in order? Mind blowing.
Wow this trick is performed so clean and flowing. He makes it seem with his opening that it’s just math that makes it work. One of the best I’ve seen on the show
One of the things I like about this show is the talent and honesty of the participants an the fact P&T genuinely respect and admire the skills and dedication behind each act. This routine is wonderful, btw.
I dont even mind that he didnt fool them simply due to his love and pure passion. Penn and Teller must've seen this hundreds of times but they still seemed captivated. On top of that the genuine enjoyment you felt and gave off whenever the crowd applauded truly made you lovable.
