Penn & Teller FOOL US // Noah Sonie burns his College Textbooks. 

Lol nope. Fake books, and the smoke to fire ratio was way too low to be a real fire

It took me a second to get that joke...probably cuz I dropped out of college haha

@@gmailrockmcbride49508 No, it's probably *why* you dropped out of college.

@@Arcessitorlmao 😂😂😂

The sheer cost of education across the world is ridiculous. Just look at how many folk leave University/College with massive debts. It is quite literally built for the kids of rich parents. Yeah, this kids may be brilliant, stunningly good students, but the same is true for the kid who's family life savings pay for the education and they end up leaving in debt but with just as brilliant, stunning abilities.

And it not possible to use the ISBN to find the book online for free. You need to buy it from the campus bookstore. We get a cut.

College is one of the worst rackets ever.

Im a bit confuse becuz im not entirely sure how this thing work. But isnt college fee cause like 20 000$ or more per semester. If u have that much money to pay, 40-60$ is just a fraction of ur fee no? .-. Why is it a problem when u are thousand of dollar rich. (Like i said, i dont know these thing, dont hate me)

@@prumchhangsreng979 well, a lot of people need to apply for student loans to pay tuition. Many college students are not rich at all and struggle to pay back student loans, and outrageous book costs just compound this problem

Our prof actually sold his own books BUT gave free pdfs to his students. THATS's how you do it! (and his book is great!)

I noticed the voice too.

I think he was sick for a few episodes

Holy shit! You're the magician that taught him. Cool! Bet you were happy to see your student go so far.

Awww this is so heckin' sweet! Does the shop sell online?

What a blessing

Damn this choked me up a little! What a cool thing to do!! Thank you for spending your time with them! This is what a community is all about! And he was amazing. Don’t care P&T figured it out, his stage presence, demeanour, his voice! His eloquence all top notch and elevated the trick far beyond a first try. He’s a natural, in part thanks to you! And his own hard work and dedication of course. But man, I love this. Thanks again for speaking up to compliment him and validate him even more!!

Great personality!

That’s dedication right there

I think the book just had a lot of 'brainstorm' in it, if you know what I mean.

@@Gary_Hun That makes a lot of sense.

At $5 per 100 pages, could’ve had a reeeaaally nice payout at $55 a pop. If it was less than say, 800pgs($40)

Can yiu explain what "catharsis" means in your sentence. I struggled with it.

@@YasserSedrati it means burning the books was a way of releasing the bottled-up negative emotions of highschool. A way of saying "that's finished now" ands starting anew. Catharsis is a little stronger than the idea of emotional closure. It's more like cleansing, a purging of bad feelings, release.

@@SerendipityChild Thank you!

Looks like you were more impressed by the guy than his magic

@@transformer889 I think magic and skateboarding are cool talents to combine

How about surfing and cruising

I'm a physics teacher and I perform and teach physics based magic in class.

@@eliyahuw Don't tell me, sponge balls and subatomic particles? Right?

@@kingrobert1st 🤣 Yesterday I did crush by eric ross as part of an explanation of the ideal gas law for example. What do you do in english? That sounds harder to make it work.

@@eliyahuw I do a lot of spontaneous close up tricks in class with chalk or a bit of string or elastic bands, coins rings anything I can find lying around. I also made some vids just recently for the agency I work for in BKK: English Through Magic ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FD_vXHff87c.html

Shouldn't you be teaching English?

nah the best one was with Shawn Farquhar and he actually fooled everyone.

It's impressive because it raises the stakes. If you're willing to destroy your props, it's harder to cheat with them.

Maybe that's where burning the other pages comes in, so you can't get a closer inspection of the other choices

@@plasticcoated85 that's risky

Yeah pretty sure I'm missing some clues penn gave or he fooled them. It's not just a force. There's more to this.

@@HeyJD123 and it’s driving me crazy

There is a background judge who knows the trick and if they think it's not enough then they will let penn and teller know.

he was saying that the magician FORCED her to choose the word "Brainstormed" but as to HOW he did that? I have no damn clue

@@pepheroofguitars1341 they actually edit these pretty hardcore. Since by now most viewers get the FORCE thing he probably said other code that gave it away. They edit things out to keep us from figuring it out .

I think the book was fake. I would guess that every page was the same (words could have been moved around), and written in a way that there is only 1 'interesting' word. It was a good trick, and not sure how it can 100% accurate considering the size of the piece that was left. Maybe Brainstorm is on every paragraph.

@@markburke1396 yes this is what I was thinking. Every page is same. Fake book. Every paragraph same and brainstormed is probably the biggest word and in each sentence so it stands out the most. Penn said forced. So means he forced her choice. Or influenced it. Or she didn't have much to choose from. But I still think great act and super cool guy performing.

@@SgtJoeSmith That is why a story had to be told that would justify the destruction of the book, which is well suited to the theme of college, which I would venture to doubt, but well. It must also be ensured that no one requests an inspection of a torn book. Therefore, it was necessary (even the last smallest piece) to be thrown into the fire. If you want to replicate this trick, use a shredder. Indeed, the word Brainstorming must be included in each sentence. This word must have some "area" density in the text, for example one occurrence on an area of ​​5x5cm. In order for the word to appear in some context, the text could be compiled into 3 sheets (6 pages). The other sheets are copies of these sheets, which saves a lot on the compilation of this prop. It is good to try it on one sheet, on which, after tearing to some size, at least once an interesting long word will remain in context. Then you can have this prop made in a book printer. When you see the corpus delicti disappearing in the fire, everyone should know where the center of gravity of the trick is. Of course, Penn knew that, too. Penn's speech was cut off, of course, because everyone would decipher it. Trimming key elements of the trick is also common, or a distant view or editing of the spectators is provided, but in this case nothing like this has happened exceptionally. The trick is very good.
