Penn & Teller Fool Us The Evasons Mentalist Duo 

It's actually quite simple. They create code for every object in the world and every name in the world, and then memorize all 7 billion people on the planet as well as what their relationships are with eachother. Easy.

After this performance, Penn and Teller enacted a strict "No Wizards allowed" rule.

"Are the last two digits of your social security number XXXX?" "ummm... i want to say no but its yes."

This is one of my favorite acts from Fool Us! Incredible!

Absolutely mystifying you two, nothing short of sheer sorcery. Amazing. Y’know I binge watch this show all the time and I’ve gotten to the point where if Penn & Teller know, I usually can figure it out 75% of the time with other acts. Going into this act knowing the show does not allow for audience plants or pre-show work, and he brandishes the glasses case in plain sight, I thought “Penn and Teller themselves said all blindfolds are fake, she can see the glasses case, game over”. ...And then she says “Is your name Vivian” and from then on I sat there like a little kid not understanding absolutely anything that was happening.

This act is crazy good. I go in circles trying to think of how this is done, but can never explain it. These two are so good at what they do it’s unbelievable.

WOW 😳.. Just an amazing act. You are fabulous . Loved the show. Loved you both. Want to see more of this 😇

when a magic show is performed right, you never want to know the trick, so you can keep enjoying it all the times. this was one of that kind act, with high level of elegance and cuteness. thanks guys.

This was one of my favorite acts. You do this so perfectly. It's so slick, smooth, and entertaining.

Y'all did the Nintendo Spring Break performance last week and my wife and I had a blast watching the act! This performance was even more incredible to me since there were so many different objects and details to read! Truly, an incredible amount of work goes into your act and I deeply admire it.

spidey brought me here. what a fantastic act!

This is incredible guys! Well done - Greetings from Australia. Very crisp, smooth, professional and mind blowing!

I'm an old timer from Finland and was a kid when I first time saw this kind of mind-reading act, over 50 yrs ago. Today, when all kind of electronic gadgets are available, your skills are tremendously great. I've never before seen as fluent performing of this. I believe that laymen don't even have a hunch of the skill you both have. Thanks for this performance. I was just thrilled when watching it.

So amazing! Love this performance.

I mean, having seen you and knowing there is nothing supernatural involved, just pure skill, it debunks from the outset every future claim of psychic power. Penn's and Teller's highest prise well deserved. Thank you!

Very well done. This takes years on years of practice. Takes two to perfect it...just "concentrate carefully" 😉

Every time I see these 2 I am amazed. Great act.

My girlfriend told me to check you two out. Pretty fantastic! She helped bring you two to Wayne State tonight, and had nothing but good things to say about you two! Keep up the great show!

Well done Jeff & Tessa. Excellent work! Looking forward to catching up soon.

Amazing trick! What moved me most besides the trick was the love between you two. Hope you're doing well!

I was also reminded of The Clairvoyants act and I loved both performances. I wish I could figure out how you did it!

You guys communicate very well and look happy together. Happy New Years from a fellow mentalist and honest pick pocket. :)

I can't get your act out of my mind, it is so great! I have no idea how you do this, but believe Penn when he said that it's incredibly hard and takes great skill and practice. You really inspire me. Thanks!

Ohh my goddd! Your act is so fantastic. I hope one day I will see you guys perform live.

does anyone remember the trick called THE WIZARD? let me take you back... You ask someone to pick ANY card from a deck and then you get your phone and call the wizard.. the wizard is supposed to know exactly what card your friend selected. After asking if the wizard knows what card they chose, you hand the phone to the person who picked the card and the wizard tells then over the phone EXACTLY the card they selected. Well you have a friend (Th wizard)who is in on it, you instruct them to answer the phone when you call them, as soon as you ask May I speak to the Wizard, they will start saying Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, Clubs.... as soon as they say the suit, you interrupt them by asking if the wizard can guess the persons card. At this point they (friend on the phone) says Ace, two, three, ......until the value of the card is mentioned. Once it is you say Okay hold one here he is,,, you pass the phone over to the person who picked the card and the wizard in a deep voice says the name of the card.

just re-watched you for a third time in a row. you are amazing, and yes tessa is smoking (with respect!). class act, both individually and the actual act! i've been studying magic since i was very young, and i know versions similar to this routine, but you are just so smooth and fast that i'm not convinced that i am anywhere close to knowing, and i felt my smile starting to grow when i heard penn say that he's never seen better. i absolutely agree! man i'd love to see you live some day.

I used to see fool us everyday on youtube. This act was the best mentaism I've seen ever.

Absolutely amazing act! I’ve yet to see anyone do it better. 😎

You guys are the BEST. So well done

I love how Penn pulls the bill back cause he doesn't want the signal giver to see anymore

Great job Tessa and Jeff!!!! You're amazing!!!

Love this, It looks difficult to learn but you make it look easy

This was amazing!!!

I saw this amazing act at Blackpool this year. I have never been more completely fooled and entertained by an act in my life, They also did a reading for my father at the end with a photo of my Mum that was absolutely spot on. Just amazing. Also, they come across a genuine warm loving people.

I haven't got the slightest idea of how it's done. So satisfying to watch when you don't know.

Listened to you guys on the magic word podcast! AMAZING!!!!

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen

Fantastic stuff! They are the best 2 person mind-reading act in the world.

Penn usually gives compliments to the people on the show, but he rarely gushes like this. That must've been an amazing thing to hear. I mean, with the personal items I can only guess the performers have a code, but I cannot figure out how you can mention those names.

I don't want to know how it's done, and I don't care how it's done. You guys are one class act! Well done!

Absolutely stunningly beautiful you two ❤️❤️ wow!

What a precious relationship

Saw you at George Mason last night. Truly amazing!

0:24 Two mentalists saying: "As soon as we met, we had an instant connection"...

Most enjoyable act on P&T so far. Very polished and pofessional.

i watch many p&t acts and just move on to next one... but i have subscribed to you xD i wud like to see more of your performances and honestly i tell you after watching so many acts on p&t... those 2 guys are NEVER so impressed by anybody xD well done and really you deserve all the honor and respect

Love these two

Seeing this again in 2024 I believe this is the most perfect moment in the history of Fool Us. The act is totally baffling, Teller is in awe (and lost for words) Penn’s words of praise and admiration are exceptional, and the lovely Alyson thoughtfully adds to the compliments. How she could reveal so much information, even facts her partner doesn’t know, and even when her partner has not said anything out loud, makes this the best act I have ever seen.

That was mind-blowing. :-)

I wish I was a 1/1000th of how good you are in this in anything in life. Receiving Pen's utmost respect for attempting a similar path and not even coming close to you, really shows what you've achieved and you can be proud of yourself

I don't know how that was done and I don't think I want to know. If the audience members weren't plants, I'm completely dumbfounded, if she did not use electronic devices. Thank you for showing something truly excellent. Sadly, I know people who would be so spooked by what you did that they would attribute it to the demonic...sigh.

She’s so good with the crowd. Amazing public skills

Amazing! So glad you don't do it as religious act, but as it is supposed to be, as magic act. Cheers from Rio de Janeiro Brasil

The communication element is simple, but it is by no means easy. And requires massive amounts of practice. This is what takes 'mind reading' to the next level.

That was great guys. I hope you two have children so your act can be passed on and kept alive for future generations.

That was amazing

*Phenomenal act!*

Nice performance!

Teller was so impressed that he gave you a cash bonus.

I would have been a little more mystified if I hadn't watched Nightmare Alley but that doesn't take away from the act. What amazing skill and there are definitely parts that I don't know how they're done, unless there's technology involved. I have to think it's all code.

Yo if those Audience members weren't apart of the act I think I just witnessed sorcery and the only reason they didn't fool them is because they are also sorcerer's.

Keep in mind that all these P&T shows are pre-recorded for TV and are carefully edited in post production to squeeze the show within its network timeslot - and that same editing work is also used to be sure the show doesn't accidently give away the performer's trick. So every time we see cuts between camera shots, we can assume we're not seeing the entire performance - especially anything to tip us off! That said, if Penn says he was legitimately impressed then that's enough for me.

I hope I get to take my boys to a show like yours sometime. Being in Wyoming though there aren’t many options and the options we have aren’t very good acts.

I sat next to them at Vegas Wonderground. Very nice couple.

🤔 wonder how I missed this performance. Thought I had seen all episodes from this season. Was very impressive.

"how many people in this room know your mother"

I am not a magician but I watched lots of mentalist acts. When other mentalists know, I could tell it's just a trick, however skilful they are. But when you guys perform, I really think there's something psychic about it...there's just no way you can know the names of strangers or elevate a person above the ground just by touching his head! Incredible!

Teller is such a nice guy

I just wanted to know, does Jeff perform any sleight of hand card magic outside of the mind reading act?

This is a tough act to do and was probably tough choice for Penn and Teller, cause with and act like this, there is only one kind of way to do it and Penn and Teller know what they're doing, but the act is so advanced. It's a "I know what you're doing, but not how you're doing it" situation.

Legends!

How old is Tessa? Damn she is amazingly beautiful. I had goosebumps when i first saw her on Fool Us, her complexion is out of this world. I am 36 and i'd still have her or even marry her in a heartbeat.

I actually know how this trick is done! There's a fantastic young adult series called The Great Brain by John D. Fitzgerald that explains how this routine is done. Penn is absolutely right, the more you know, the more amazing this performance is; top notch!

Impressive...

Silky smooth.😁

.......... usually i at least have a _guess_ how it was done. it's probably wrong, but there's a guess. ......... in this case, i've got absolutely nothing. i'm just AMAZED. i am just, wow. i'm basically speechless.

Cash’s girlfriend is done with all of this

Hi guys very well done. I know of permorfances like this (starting from houdin, to modern mentalist like maven, banachek, brown, and that the french guy i'll never rember his name). ANd i think you did it excpetionally good, with the greatest class and smile on your face one could ever have (instead of the usual "spooky" way). Greetings!!! Could you PM me the essential books I should read about it? Cause it's twentyfive years now that I'm a fan of this art, i can perform some of the most difficult slight of hand (still, can't go from backpalm to the other side fluently TBH-______-). WOuld you? PLEAAASEEEEE

They say seeing is believing, and now I believe in the totally impossible.

What sorcery is this? Totally blown away…….

Very² entertaining and very² good. Majestic psychics.. I guess if you play gambling at a casino, the casino will go bankrupt in no time

Well I have never heard a 14 year old be so exciting about something that I couldn't explain good job at eou guys!

I have never had a magic trick get me so utterly baffled, and I truly love it. It has forced me to delve into this world of magic to seek out the answer. I understand completely if you can't answer my question. But I have heard you say that you use no confederates, does that include instant stooges?

The same as the clairvoyants. So there's a trick behind it you both know. I wish I knew too.

Penn said whatever he wants but he will sure a tough cookie....... He'll be like ' No trophy for u ' 😉

Way better than the clairvoyants but thats my opinion these two are amazing.

the only part I can figure out is that the questions aren't random he's selecting what to ask depending on the person.basically could have been mother's name...or something totally different beyond that I'm lost other than there are probably multiple methods involved

No, Penn, we need to know how they did it ALL especially the numbers on the $100 note.

Remind me to avoid playing bridge against you guys... ;-)

Is this real channel

Watching this in slow motion... Doesn't help figure it out.

Penn is correct, the more you know the more impressive it is.

Great act!! I believe that for the part with Penn and Teller and the numbers on the bill, there is some kind of code or system of communication, very well performed though, because you cannot really tell if there is anything out of the order. However, the thing that blows my mind even more, is the part with the name guesses. Even if there was a code or a system between you two (I'm not saying there isn't, it just can't explain everything), how on earth did you get the names of the people right? I could say that the people were not randomly chosen and were part of the act, but I'm guessing that's not allowed. So HOW??? :D :D Just amazing!

I just watched your performance on Penn and Teller fool us and I also watch The Clairvoyant which I think uses a device in their foot speaking in Morse code and whatever process you use without electronics is unbelievable the most impressive act I've ever seen I own a small business and I wanted to see what your contact information is to perform at one of my corporate events if you could let me know your email address we can talk about pricing and scheduling because this is crazy and you are fantastic

Is Tessa a real witch. Cos there is literally no other explanation. You guys are awesome. I bet tessa spent that $100 on shoes. .

How did you come up with this trick? Did you invent it or somebody taught you how to do this?

That was incredible even knowing it isnt real!

Wow!!!

I get the basic gist of this, but how the hell do they know that guys mom’s name? The only thing I can think of is looking at who purchased the seats before the taping and then proceeding to stalk them, but isn’t that against the shows rules? Can someone explain?

Why does Penn make these hand gestures while talking about the trick? I really want to know how it could be done...
