I am more impressed with how you managed to change Teller's 5 of Hearts to the Jack of Hearts and then back to the 5 of Hearts at 8:26 because you sure as hell shocked him.
That was so entertaining to watch. Simple, but refined magic. The real magic is the simplicity of the trick, verses using different techniques with two completely different decks of cards from a completely different country.
I followed how the K, Q and J got to the top - I do the maths based tricks with my classes a lot, because they’re good educational tools. What I did *not* get was how you knew the randomly peeked at card was the 5. So, not only great trick - well constructed, too. You let the nerds go “yeah, yeah, we can see how the cards are where they are” and ALSO had the “wtf???” moment at the end. Well done!
🤯 I have no clue how the F you did that, and with Teller in charge of his deck. Bravo Alejandro!!! The pandemic looks to have REALLY benefited your magic!!👍👍
Excellent presentation of the illusionist Alejandro Navas. I congratulate you. Incredible how the magic trick is produced in the spectator's own hands, in a new virtual magic show! Costa Rican talent, putting the art and name of Costa Rica very high on an international level, in the renowned and famous Penn & Teller Fool Us program .---
I don't recall I've ever seen penn this invested and curious while watching a trick lol! He seemed to be VERY curious and fully focused throughout the whole thing
Definitivamente el mejor Mago de Costa Rica!! Es increíble el manejo de las emociones de las personas y la expresión corporal que es tan importante en la Magia! El efecto es impresionante!! Saludos desde Hatillo Costa Rica!
Great trick! I know how it was done and i understand why the show had that ending where the judges had to determine the result. Penns explanation was so good on not giving any clues to the answer, which makes this illusion one of the better ones.
Increíble saber que un tico ha llegado a ese punto de estar delante de los mejores y ha podido lograr impresionarlos de verdad con su acto y talento. Felicidades por ese enorme triunfo Alejandro, que honra más grande!
I feel bad for skipping most of season 8. I had watched faithfully since the pilot series for the bbc 10yrs ago. I missed so many great performances. including by this talented young magician. nicely done Alejandro.
Llevo viendo este show unos años y la verdad me sorprendió en el momento que escuché Costa Rica. Totalmente orgulloso de ver a alguien de mi país participando a este nivel y más con tan excelente truco. Muchas felicidades, tal vez no ganaste el trofeo... pero nos representaste en un ámbito poco común en nuestro país, además el truco fue espectacular y asombroso. Pura vida....! Saludos desde Cartago!
One of the most difficult trick to figure out since the card is out of your control! It's a great card trick, but you didn't fool them, I hope you try again to fool them but in person this time!!!
:) Excellent. I had fun until the end. If I didn't see the video, I wouldn't believe that this old children's spell can be "upgraded" by its same method. :))
It was mind blowing when I saw it first time and I was laughing so hard when I saw it second time, seeing both visible cards and flipping sides. So easy, so nice
As usual, I both want to know then DON'T want to know. Penn couldn't even come up with code to make his educated guess and ya GOTTA love him for playing the game to win but preserving the integrity of your trick. Doing a card trick from thousands of miles away where you cant do any shenanigans with your hands or palming or dealing off the bottom or pinky cut shuffles is truly mindblowing. That you blew Tellers mind is a win... I hope you can now come to do another trick in America in front of Penn and Teller instead of virtually and actually fool them and earn that trophy!
Excelente presentación del ilusionista Alejandro Navas. Lo felicito.- ¡Increíble cómo el truco de magia se produce en las propias manos del espectador, en un novedoso show mágico virtual! Talento costarricense, poniendo muy en alto el arte y el nombre de Costa Rica a nivel internacional, en el reconocido y famoso programa Penn & Teller Fool Us.---
wow.. this trick was so amazing.. absolutely no idea how he controlled the outcome.. + no gimmick stuff could be done since it was happening all along in teller's hand.. just wow..
This is a marvelous example of time delay deception. Such a simple method, but with the help of that delay so wonderfully done. The card change at the end was outstanding.
Excelente truco Alejandro, sigo este programa desde hace meses y ya te había visto en vivo antes de la pandemia pero me preguntaba si te animarias a salir en el show y aquí estás, con un truco loquisimo que no tengo idea como funciona pero quedaste en alto, felicidades! Saludos aquí mismo en CR en la semana e independencia!
Mae increíble, súper bueno! Soy fan de este programa desde hace ya tiempo y me emocioné mucho cuándo vi a un tico! Excelente acto :) un abrazo y pura vida!

Hi Alejandro, No matter how you put it, No One Knows How You knew Tellers card. And you may very well be Physic. Or had plenty of time to think and figured it out. And what was that judges thing? Penn never said that he knew how you did it. So I truly think you fooled him too. Very cool what you can do. 👍✌💖😊
