The Cosmic Romantics on Penn & Teller: Fool Us 

You caught it!!! We were hoping someone was going to catch it ;)

Also, December 13 is the same date on the page before where she sings the song.

What a nice compliment!! Thank you so so much!

Thank you so much!!

@@thecosmicromantics I keep going back to it just to hear you sing and also the way your partner looks at you... I wish I had that!

awww thank you!!!

I totally agree! You should absolutely make an album too!

Thank you!

I gotta know. What’s the classic trick? Wish he had examined the book. I have some guesses. 1. The Dec 13 page was sticky and he was able to hide it when brook looked for it. 2. The ink disappeared 3. He covered the ink with white.

Thank you so much!

We appreciate you seeing the hard work we put into this. It was a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. We normally do this routine with cards, but Fool Us had too many card routines, so we had to hand craft a brand new routine from scratch. It took about 1,000 hours to make. We are so proud of the book because it's hard to detect how the entire trick is done. Elizabeth can tell you any date you've stopped at, words you look at, different pictures you look at, entries, etc... Lot of magicians we showed it to were hella impressed because of the combination of techniques we put into the book. Anyway, thank you so much!!! We appreciate you!

​@@thecosmicromanticsso, in a way, would you say you were pushed into a better trick, so to speak? (Not trying to do secret magic talk, just interesting to me that i think this is an improvement over the usual card trick approach, well done!.)

@@thecosmicromantics Love the performance! Would you go as far as to say the book is examinable? Presumably only lightly examinable at a glance. You're forcing me to think. I thought one method would be to flip through at a different corner for each question, but then I shortly realised that's not what you do, by looking at the start and at the end of the trick. I'm not sure I'm going to get this one, my guesses are a little rough and are going to fall between the cracks. Nice work!

@@paulab8342 Thank you!! And yes the book is examinable!

@@thecosmicromantics I was thinking it might be more like how a card is forced from a gimmicked deck (tried to hint at that with some words in my previous reply), but that wouldn’t be examinable by magicians. So I don’t know. That’s the long and short of it! Good work!

Thank you!!

Hiii!! Thank you so much! I watch it whenever I get sad about something and I need to lift my spirits lol.

@@thecosmicromanticsI got misty at the end with your reaction. Blessings to you and your happy marriage!

awww thank you so much!! I still get misty eyed when I watch it. I feel so grateful

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

hehehehehe

Thank you so much!!

hehehe thank you ;)

Thank you!! Happy to be part of the foolers club with you!

Thanks for noticing 😉

I agree! (hi Mort!)

@@thelorddrinian👋

Thank you!

Thank you!! We admire your knowledge of magic and kindness! You actually know what you're talking about versus some of the trolls on here who are confident they know how it's done. It reminds me of little kids who are like "I know how to do that" and then when they try it, they're like "uhh, what do I do?"

@@thecosmicromantics Ha! Take all the comments with glee, even the wrong ones! I'm just an armchair magician these days. I did spend time working for a place that built large stage illusions for magicians and theme parks. I helped make Copperfield's Portal illusion. So I like knowing how stuff is done but usually have no idea, which is more fun! I really enjoyed your act and subscribed. Looking forward to more videos!

​@@thecosmicromantics Trolls?! People debating your methodology are not trolls, they are contributers. How arrogant.

@@Lensman864 I don't think she minds people debating their methodology, probably more people who are like "This is definately how they did it", really arrogant about it and are very wrong.

That is amazing!!! Thank you for contributing to magic! @@ClanMcDuck

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

awww thank you!

me too, but i noticed after reading this comment :)

Thank you!

thank you!

thanks!!

Hey. We all miss Alyson. Let's give her time to fit in

Alyson is taking a break while she appears on Dancing With The Stars

@@francisp6723 I don't even know who this is...

@@dustindoesstuff374 Fool Us is taped some 4-6 months prior, well before it's screened. Dancing With The Stars 2023 is being simulcast live to ABC & DisneyPlus. So no connection re Alison being on DWTS and not hosting Fool Us Alison finished with P&T Fool Us after season 9 was recorded, which was in April-May of that year

@@francisp6723 It's ironic that people say now Alison's personality was a major part of the show. Amount of very crappy comments & flack Alison got, when took over from Johnathon, was awful and pathetic & was still going by end of 2nd season. People/viewers just don't like change. Could put very seasoned and great host into something, & people will always say previous host was better. Of course NO one is brilliant at anything in life, at first, without experience doing it, or similar, for a while. Another thing TV show hosts have to get used to is having producers talk to them, via "in ears" while they're hosting, & even while they're talking sometimes. Can notice Alison has earpiece in some clips where Penn & Teller got the method of a trick or part of a trick wrong, & were overruled by the adjudicators (who are magicians) & are informed (to an extent) how trick/s is done. So there's a lot going on, for the host to have simultaneously do. I've liked all hosts on Fool Us, none are better or worse, just different, and some people just identify with someone's personality more Brooke/Brook is going be an excellent host, as some things she does indicate that.

we love you too!!!!

Thank you!!

The performance was great, but the trophy is not owned. The tricks were so easy to witness.

They are code talkers. It's just supremely well hidden. He could sneek a peek at dates though all the pages were likely different and there were probably only a few pictures so he could signal what it was based on what position the book was at even though a free choice. Last page must have been forced though

@@Darmachakra we love your confidence! There's a multitude of things going on at once. More than meets the eye. So far no one has been able to figure it out :) The book took us about 1,000 hours to make and years to even be able to craft. Thank you for the compliment!

@@thecosmicromantics So the book is Optimus Prime? That's quite impressive. :)

@@jmkqfnvyl87 Code talkers how? He didn't say any word after the page with picture was selected

Thank you so much!!

😻@@thecosmicromantics

Thank you!!

Thank you!! That sounds like a great product to sell!

Thank you!

@@elizabethmessick2024 your welcome. I also subscribed to your channel too 😊👍

Thank you so much!! We appreciate it!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!!!

Thank you!!!

The book wasn’t memorized. It was created. They built it in a way where she could know which “date” was selected based upon which words he used to describe the next steps.

Thank you!

Coincidence? Or FATE?

I thought so too but he didn't speak for the first trick

¡Gracias! Aún no nos hemos casado, pero espero que pronto.

Thank you!!!

@@thecosmicromantics your so welcome. You two are awesome 😊❤️😊

Thank you for coming to the AMA reddit! :) We'll tell you this: Elizabeth memorized THE ENTIRE BOOK and wrote songs for each page. And no, we did not force the picture, there isn't just one picture, and yes, there are many pictures (maybe around 16 pictures?). And no, we didn't force the "I HATE YOU" song. Normally in live shows we do much more, but we only had so much time.

What he mentioned is true. Pic and song was not force. But the last date and page is. It is also seen from the video

@@thecosmicromantics Congratulations on the well earned wedding gift! Have an |absolutely magical life together|. PS: I'm curious what you can do with a voodoo doll spiced with imagination? PPS Nice hat :)

They have very precise hands and almost perfect writing. I was surprised to see something yellowish that doesn’t belong.

Thank you!!

Thank you!!!

hahaha thank you!!
