Ben that was an AWESOME performance by you guys. Both of you just have great energy and the process was flawless to us who don’t possess showmanship. MUCH much respect!
You fooled me at 1:39! What the hell was that?! Your hands appeared to really pass through each other. Congrats guys, what a great set! See you in Chicago!!
I had the biggest grin on my face from the second you started to thread the melon. This was one of my first two effects I learned from a library book about 60 years ago. I just came back from a trip to Korea where I taught one of my nephew's sons a few tricks. This was going to be one of them, but I decided to hold off on it until our next trip... now I just don't know about that unless I give some heavy thought around a great routine for him.
I recall reading this illusion in an old book, back when I was like eight or nine, so forty years ago, with a book that might have been another forty years old. There was also a variation in a Boy Scout book, passing a rope through the sleeves of a scout''s jacket.
Thinking back on it I'm sure it was in one of the Tarbell volumes. What a great learning tool that was. I was astonished that such great secrets were freely available in such a public place! ;)
I literally was grinning the whole time. Amazing performance, amazing wizards, you guys KILLED IT!! Looking forward to more future amazing performances from you both!!!
Loved it! So excited for you two to see everything that you are doing for the magic community and so awesome for y’all to be on this… Amazing performance
This is really fun, because this is the first trick I learned when I was 9. All I had was the local library and it had 4 books on how to do magic. I read them all and this trick still works many years later.
Succeeding at something P&T failed at is arguably even better than fooling them! Surprised you missed the opportunity to do the the hand passing through the other illusion at the intro tho. Would have made a neat little bonus.
WOW, YOU GUYS HAVE BRASS ONES to perform on this show a trick from the first magic book all us magicians first read as kids! But that was a clever "twist" on an old trick.
I watched y’all closely, looking for trickery in the tying of the ribbons. I was sure that was the illusion. Watched it a second time……. You fooled me!
I remember when I was a kid I use to go to my grandma's house and she had a necklace just like Allison's, but hers had two red pearls and one black pearl!!!
I had a magnet in my jacket that it was supposed to stick to. The fact that it didn't, and that I missed my pocket, will haunt me till the day I die!!!
@@manusoftar yes but it's the whole package it's the performance it's the trick it's having the balls to get up on national television in front of Penn and teller it's not just the method. I've done magic on TV and the body literally starts locking up with fear it's not the easiest thing to do
I half liked it and half did not like it I liked it because I absolutely love science and did not like it because I was worried that Alyson's hand was going to get impaled.
I know some people who said they were allergic to watermelons, turns out they were all 'allergic' to the chemical herbicides and pesticides because when they tried organic watermelon, no reaction whatsoever.
