Penn & Teller get FOOLED by a version of their OWN TRICK! 

I think you have this perfectly down. I also think Penn and Tell had to have known how it was done.

5:33 was the missing link... Thanks for your explanation... :)

I love it how one of the guys was like "I can't believe we fooled them" and the other one was like he won a bet he made! 😂

If u look very carefully, when they ask Brooke to verify her markings, 8.42-8:43 it seems like the coin is not fully back together, seems to be some sort of gap along the edge of the coin

​@Mack182 yeah I noticed that my first watch. It looked like 2 separate coins and he didn't want her to hold it or touch it really.

Nice catch, if you slow the speed down you can see it fairly clearly.

So Lau must've palmed the signed coin around 2:18?

when he flips the coin around in his hand he adds a fake signed coined behind it. Then when he shakes his hand he palms the real coin and passes the fake @@just-squirrels

@@just-squirrels yep and then Peel palms the other coin around the time Lau brings the glass plate across, and then hands it back to Lau at the same time as giving him the tweezers. Lau has good slight of hand to show two different coins and make it look like two sides of the same coin. You can even see at the end when he shows the marks to Brooke that he's holding two coins side by side. But it's a well constructed trick and they did well to send P&T down the wrong path with solving it.

@ch5851 Hi, just so you know it's sleight of hand, Not slight of. Many people do get it wrong & if just people enjoying the trick it doesn't matter; but if person comment like they know something about magic, or how the trick is done, then details it (exposes it) they should know & use the correct words/ terminology. Besides the magic side it is bad English to say "slight of..." sleight: use of dexterity, or cunning - as to deceive. So could say some things are sleight of mind, both in magic (post hypnotic suggestion for one example), or perhaps re being excessively overly influenced in everyday life by someone else. But slight of mind means something completely different. As "sleight" tends not to be used outside of magic anymore, suggesting an usage that would only work with sleight (not slight) isn't easy, but hopefully previous paragraph helps to detail why it's not "slight of hand". Although if the magician has small hands it could be :) :P Yeh, I know long comment, but hate people who correct someone in this way: *sleight of hand. (or, for anything that's incorrect). Without explaining why, as some people may just not know, & of course youtube (& other media) is world wide & many people may have English as a second language, so in both cases even being told something is wrong word doesn't help to learn why it is. (Of course in some instances though it's not even worth bothering; see comment by someone saying P&T weren't fooled, it was one of their give away awards. Clearly a person who doesn't know Fool Us works, since they don't need to be fooled by the Trick, but either just by one thing in it or not get correct guess/method in reasonable amount time - we see only about half of the fill-in between end of trick, & when the host hands over to P&T. Plus there's off stage executive adjudicator/producer & a magician who (& only person that is) been told prior how it work, & P&T have been overruled a few times, 3-4 times with the magician getting a trophy when P&T said they weren't fooled, but they got the analysis wrong, and twice when P&T did go to give the trophy but hadn't realised they'd said something that was correct when thought it wasn't.

Well, if the magician(s)can figure out an alternate way to do the trick other than the way P&T does it then you can probably easily pull it off, which seems exactly what they did here. The best tricks for fooling P&T are the ones that have multiple ways to pull off as you get a at least a 50/50 chance they guess wrong as to how it’s done even if they know more then one way it can be done.

It's much much harder to fool the RU-vid couch magicians, that was well done and funny

I want to like your comment but it's currently at 69 which is too perfect for me to ruin

@@psymar *lol, it's at 70 now...*

No they where not fooled by this trick! Its one of their give away awards they have to hand so many out! If they where tricked its again proof im a better magician than both of them combined!

thank you so much.. We look forward to the journey ahead :D

If you look closely, you'll notice when Brook has to look closely at the coins that he's holding 2 coins in his fingers, that's also the reason why he's holding them so tightly and Brook isn't really allowed to turn them. But the more obvious thing was that he has "only one" coin but when he puts it in his jacket pocket you hear it jingle

If he's holding 2 coins, it's a bit unfair, they should have accepted the loss/catch

@@HousrastenOfficial 8:42 you can see it pretty clearly

WRONG. I went to walmart and couldn't find self breaking glass there.

It might blow up in their faces if they see our perspective.

I thought the load was pretty obvious.

me too@@timq6224

Is it just me, or did the show even add some blur to try and mask the load?

@@bradsnet at 3:57 the show adds an edited blur because the coin must have been too obvious, that's pretty out there considering if you freeze it a second or so earlier the coin is totally visible anyway. I'm sure the audience and Brooke on stage couldn't see anything based on how he was standing but either the cameras or the magicians screwed up the angles to prevent it getting caught on tape.

There is one problem - f there wasnt a coin switch and f that was really Brookes signed coin how dd it he hev it before twas fired

@@takazchichaz597 Watch at 5.35 - when he puts the coin into the pocket

@@takazchichaz597 tell me you dont see him shove the coin up his nose

@@QualityAffordableGuitars of course i saw him puttin something when he was blowing the ballon .. and i think Penn and Teller saw that too … the only problem is the coin was then placed on the table and we saw it during the whole time… so either they figured a way to hev an identical coin( dublicate).. thats y at the end they put it in Brooks Hands to confirm f ts the same coin

Didn't he just switch the coin at 2:22 ?

Thank you so much 🙏 we genuinely do appreciate that 🙏😁

​@@BrendonPeelmentalistI loved your take on the bullet catch trick, both parts really showed themselves as different than P&T's version, and Penn's comment about you genuinely shooting at the face shows a huge difference with their trick that was quite impressive. The marker's mostly worn off, but I still have the case and bullet from being the audience member for their trick. It's amazing what you can do when you set your sights on the right thing :).

Thank you so much for the support.. Glad you enjoyed it 😊

not that easy the marks on the coin in the holster are exact same as the ones on the coin he took out of his nose

I don't think so. What would be the point of that?

You can smuggle one half the coin first while still showing the other half in the holster. Then smuggle the other half at the end. A bullet doesn't allow that since you can't keep the real one on display and smuggle it at the same time.

Thank you so much.. We worked really hard on this routine

It was so surreal!

I saw that, too. But the real question is... how did he create identical markings or markings that look nearly identical?

@@miztahrayeproductions2942 like Pen was saying, the markings didn’t have to match exactly, only appeared to be the same. We see it on HD video zoomed in. They are seeing it from far away, and also why he had Brooks stand back behind him. The shine of the coin I noticed also made it difficult to see the markings.

i didn't notice that, i thought he put the coin in his nose when other guy handed him the pliers to pull it out, it was dodgy. i also compared the coins and it seems same, not sure how they copied brooke's smiley face so accurately, it looks bit different, but only cuz its worn off. this part is much more interesting to me than how the coin got into his nose. i'd like to know how they copied signature and smiley face so well. i'm sure i'd be able to do it if i could examine the coin and had bit of time, but doing that loose handed and hiding it from audience .. hmmm also if someone asks me to draw a smiley face, i'd make one with x x as eyes :) just to be different and possibly mess with their trick.

@@OgKamoGaming "hd video zoomed in" ... take a screenshot and rotate it and compare, looks same, just bit more faded, which is normal as marker doesn't stick to coins that well, you can basically wipe it off with finger if you press hard enough. however i just came up with an idea how to copy things. 1) marker is wet, so it goes thru materials like cloth. if you press shirt against your skin and draw with marker, bit of it goes thru onto your skin if shirt is thin enough. 2) make special transparent sticky layer that lets half of the marker to go thru 3) peel it off after signed and stick it onto another coin. it could have magnetic edges so it clips around the coin perfectly. you can go more high tech and have a swipe-scanner somewhere on stage or in pocket, with a coin holder. you slip the coin in there, scan and then you have a small "printer" that replicates it. you can easily make one of those, however i think they're using much simpler method. i always over-think things and go with super high tech methods.

I think it's only loose for us because of the camera angle. Sitting in the audience you'd have his entire face obscured by the balloon so it would be fairly clean. I agree with you on the coin marking copy. My thought was that it's something to do with the fact he wouldn't let Brook hold it both when she drew on it and when she inspected it after. He also held it exactly the same way both times so perhaps it's doubled up and the markings transfer somehow.@@SethiozProject

Bad Camera pruduction

at 8:42 you can see there’s 2 coins in his hand i honestly feel like p&t just say they fooled them i haven’t seen a clip in awhile where they weren’t fooled

​@@tylers92Penn guessed wrong tho, the rules of the show is that they get one guess. His guess was that they had a forgery with the same general marking but they weren't hers, but that's not how the trick was done, therefore he was wrong.

Was there a cap? Was there a switch when A handed coin to B or was there a pass when the tool was passed over. Im thinking #2 with a fake one in the nose and then a switch back

@@henriquerodrigues7795 That rule is sometimes responsible for some pretty ridiculous outcomes, as here.

i mean the premise of the show is that they have to be able to figure it it out and make a guess. if they guess wrong then its a fool. they guessed that the coin produced at the end was not the coin signed at the start. which it was the original coin. kind like on jeopardy. you have 4 choices and you say which one is your final guess. they know all teh ways for the trick to be done, they just guessed the wrong way so they got it wrong

@jamescain9464 since when on Jeopardy do you get choices for the answer?

2:24 Yes, exactly. I picked it instantly. The switch occurred when he blew on it and handed the other 'signed coin' to his assistant. Nobody really examined the signed coin after that until the previously secreted coin was re-displayed at the very end.

The magicians can't lie about how they perform the act, the show runners are actually magicians as well and they know beforehand how the trick is done (there have even been times where Penn and teller thought they weren't fooled but the director called in and told them they actually did get fooled) what happened here is that Penn and Teller used their guess, which was that they had a similar coin with the same markings already loaded on his nose, but they used the same coin that she signed making Penn's guess incorrect

Dankie Baie

Not really. The show has an independent judge, who knows how the trick works. If the signed coin was not the one up the nose, he would have called them out.

The judge always allows P&T to hand out the F/U even when they conceded to the fool, Notice that P&T never even made a false guess. The Judges had to agree to their decision.

This is actually where the trick became obvious. Pay attention to the "coin(s)". Kind of assumed this was how they were doing it and proved right. But still ballsy to use their own trick against them. No way they could see what we see now looking at a close up view.

Absurd or not, the guy really did have the correctly marked coin in his nose. You can watch him shove it up there as he uses the balloon for misdirection... they used slight of hand to swap the coin immediately after it was marked and the original never made it to the table. I don't believe for a second that this actually fooled P&T. It's just too easy.

​@lley But how the BB marks are exact same when he put the coin in to the holster (I've compared them thoroughly)? I guess the coin had some casing (might be made from foil) on the side where she put her marks and inner side of the case had some black coating which transfers the black ink to the actual coin copying the marks, the other side didn't have that casing since after he handled the coin(actually casing) the second guy never showed the other side

indeed, he pockets the coin as he stands hard up against him.

Passes the coin at 5:35? In your wildest dreams...

@@crispincain5373 look carefully at Li Lau's left hand...

@@crispincain5373 100% percent does. There is no good reason to approach and stand next to someone like that just to pass them tweezers. They obviously did not actually shoot the coin into his mouth, and knowing this, they have to pass the coin, the only available time is when he passes the tweezers and damn near stands on top of him doing so.

@8My problem with that is that it's *unnecessary*. Since you can clearly see they have to show BB BOTH COINS at the end of the trick (god that was a terrible camera mistake at 8:42. There's no doubt we're looking at 2 coins) we know that neither coin has both correct markings on it. IMO, P&T were on the right path. But then why do a move that looks clearly like an exchange and cleanup? They had two coins they could pass off as real for most of the trick, and each had one for most of the trick. I HAD been thinking that was a feint to try to get P&T to guess wrong. The only "maybe" I have in mind is that they wanted to show the REAL smiley in the nose-pull, but the REAL signature a moment later. It just seems a lot for part of the trick too small for P&T to see.

Thank you so much, we genuinely do appreciate that

The fact that you think that's the whole trick actually just shows you were also fooled. Cuz that's not how the whole trick was done. They get one chance to guess correct and they didn't guess it correctly either

Yeah, this was full circle. Clearly Pen was not about to say howe it works, bur we all now by now. I think the twist was never there. They tried, but failed. But of course Pen never would say the audition when exactly. Although, he did.

Yeah, something fishy is going on there for sure...

Thanks bro 🙏🙌

and at 3:54, whilst blowing up the balloon, you can see him shoving one of the coins up his nose.

Not in the pocket, he simply placed the real coin into the others left hand while handing him the forecepts.

@tecwzrd Eh same place/area. Close enough

You a fellow student with them then? Or an academic profession or something else?

Thanks my friend.. I remember performing at those HSS shows very fondly 😁 hope you are doing well

Baie dankie.. Ons probeer

no coin swap. he really flipped the coin. asian guy is holding 2 coins back to back. brook had her initials on 1 coin and the smiley on the other, then asian guy gave the white guy the other coin which brook wrote her initials on, and asian guy has the coin that has her smiley which he put in his nose,

Thank you so much ❤

Nah, they only needed to switch once. There was only one point when the two magicians touched, that was right after the coin shot.
