Youngest Returner FOOLS MASTERS! | Kevin Li on Penn and Teller Fool Us 

This really is a dream come true. So grateful to have had this opportunity and share this very personal routine of mine. Much love to all of you and please share the magic ❤️

Plot twist: Allison is paid actress Wait she is an actress being paid

I love how Teller just immediately went for the boba 💀💀

His dad filming it like it wasn't going to be on TV 😂

Congrats. But it's unforgivable to give someone a bubble tea with a straw that is too small to get the pearls. Too much of a tease, lol.

There's a small man hiding in the straw yelling the answers out to Alison. Due to how small he is his voice is at a frequency that only Alison can hear. Trick revealed.

Plot twist - Allison actually knows Chinese

Kevin Li was Clever to select Allison. And Allison deserves credit for playing along with the trick.

4:35 - "You're doing a pretty good job so far" "Well, you gave me boba" - I have a feeling Alyson nearly gave the game away there, given where she keeps looking while you're talking!

"you're doing a pretty good job so far" "well you gave me boba" It has something to do with the boba

It is the way he holds his hands...the slight angle gets the job done. The boba tea was there for a reason. It forced Allison to look towards the floor. After a couple of subtle prompts Allison understands and reads the reflection from the floor. Simple yet brilliant. Nicely done. Edit: I did mean podium when I typed floor. English isn't my first language. Thanks for correcting me and improving my vocabulary.

8:27 Penn asks Alyson if he palmed it...he's not buying the trick

Guys, the DirecTV disclaimer was obviously a cover-up for showing Alison the dictionary.

I love this routine! It is personal for the volunteer and really has that emotional connection that so many routines lack or ignore. Well played!

I think it's ironic that in the first performance you made teller cry, and in the second it was you shedding tears :]

No matter what field in the arts, the passion that shines through when someone achieves a goal and can't hold the emotion in. Those moments just make it all worth it. You're a gem Kevin!

I love the emotion he showed. He really was grateful and didn't think he would food them at all. Compared to most acts on fool us who know they can fool the guys

I guess the reason why he cries is the hard work he did for Years to get this Achievement and we can not imagine how important this was for Kevin Li. Respect Bro!!

To take something personal and give it such a "wow" factor is amazing. Can't wait to see more tricks. This is a great style for you. Keep the emotional connection in your magic. It really sets you apart as a talent.

You can really see how much Teller loves you in this video Kevin! You're so good!

The emotion and reaction when you did it is priceless. So happy to you fooled them! Great show!!

The emotion of Kevin Li, and others, when they have successfully fooled Penn &Teller is enjoyable to watch. It affirms the years of effort given to perfect the trick and the release of all their tension.

Love the emotion when they said you fooled them. Great moment

I love this performer!!! Kevin is easily in my top five Fool Us performers ( I usually like the "old school" magicians, but there is something about this kid that makes him seem like he's been doing this for decades)...I like this routine, but the first one was my favorite...probably because of the emotion the first one brought out in Teller and myself... Keep reaching for the stars Kevin, I think you are destined for great things!!! God Speed to you and your family!!!

There are some magic acts, I don't ever want to know how it was done. I really, really enjoyed how unique and mind-boggling an effect this was.

😂 1:44 when Alison answers “Sure” it sounded a bit like the mandarin for “yes” so I think that took him aback for a moment.

Completely baffling, but continuing to watch Alyson in 2024 is amazing!

Damn both your appearances made me cry for totally different reasons! I love that your tricks are sweet, beautiful and kind…not just taking someone’s watch or fake stabbing your hand, but actually well thought out and sentimental as well as focused on you and your life. Wonderful!

Beautiful trick! My favorite acts in this show are the ones that are personal and incorporate the actors life and personality. Really makes it a one of a kind trick. And I love how Teller went for the tea. He wasn’t crying, it’s just so good! Lol.

Way to go Kevin! I can't wait to see what you come up with in the future! Keep up the Amazing work, I hear Vegas calling your name!

It's so very different from most other magic and so simple too. That you fooled the best is a tribute to your skill!

It makes me happy to see them happy and so I thank you for fooling those lovely gentlemen.

This kid is so smooth... he definitely wants to know what happened in band camp.

Kevin, I am really impressed with your honest expressions / openness in sharing yourself with the audience, and it was a stellar routine as well.

1. It's not done using reflection. Check his other video on the channel where he does the same trick on their vegas show. He holds the card way too far in front for any reflection to be visible. 2. It's not done using some digital ring either. He confirms that in that same video, but more importantly, he's not wearing it on that vegas show either. My theory, then, and I think I'm pretty spot-on, is that as he's putting the previous card on the table, he actually puts the answer to the next card next to it as well. Then, it would just be a matter of having that card say "NEXT ANSWER IS: CHICKEN" and Alyson just playing along, which she does really well. Thus, it's a good old "sleigh of hand" trick with a really clever twist! That was an amazing trick and I can't remember the last time I was so clueless about how it's done. It's truly unique and I think you 100% deserved fooling them. Great job, and subscribed!

Such a great, casual style. Impressive, even if frustrating! Good luck, Kevin!

Great performance Kevin and congratulations on fooling Penn & Teller! 💥BOOM!!!💥™

Man u are really enthusiastic 🤘✌️✌️ keep doing it as ur heart says ♥️✌️....

That was fantastic! It seems so simple but yet kind of impossible some how lol had to watch it twice.... great trick!

Wow somehow missed this for years. What a fun routine. Love seeing your family come out. Both times you were on the some it was just really wholesome stuff.

Crushed it! Congrats Kevin. Enjoyed it!

Wow! Unbelievable delivery! I’ve watched DOZENS of magicians, not just on Penn and Teller’s show, but also with their own online platforms in the past several weeks alone. There are MANY talented performers out there with a variety of style and talents, and they’re almost always very impressive and mind-boggling to watch. I’m particularly impressed by these two men and the two David’s: Blaine and Copperfield (I saw the latter live in Las Vegas, front row seats courtesy of the Bellagio VIP concierge, from about 30-50 feet away at all times!). However, I was also completely blown away by your talent and showmanship! Absolutely BRILLIANT work! It’s not just about the incredible skill involved, but perhaps more importantly in your case is the care that goes into your unique presentation to the audience. This is the main aspect that I believe made Teller get so choked up over your work. As you know, Teller is immensely talented and experienced himself and is considered by many, myself included, to be easily one of the top skilled magicians alive today in terms of both technique and presentation. You both have an incredibly unique style and an incredible amount of nuanced ability that sets you apart from ALL of the rest out there. I think the emotion invoked in Teller’s face is VERY clear proof that you have something that just leaves your audience utterly speechless and in awe of what they have just seen! I have NEVER once seen Teller so moved before! Absolutely astounding and breathtaking work! And you’re so incredibly young to already have such a rare and distinct ability, enough to truly set you apart in Teller’s mind and mine as well! Clearly, a one in a million kind of act from such a truly gifted and brilliant mind! This was an absolute masterpiece! (Technically, I haven’t watched THIS particular video as of yet, I have only watched the one with the Polaroid-style card trick that you did to try to fool the amazing Vegas duo. I was so impressed that I immediately wanted to see more of your work, so I clicked a link to land here for the next illusion. Yet I am already very impressed and moved by the last one!) Spectacular! I will watch this one and others, and I have already subscribed to your channel and look forward to more upcoming videos! Fantastic (literally!) work! Kudos! Keep it up! 😁

In college, I learned about stage lighting and one thing we learned was about was handling practical (real) mirrors that were on the set. I reflected on that while viewing this superb trick. I reflected again before posting this. Aside from the fact that it is actually somewhat easy to read mirrored words which are IN ALL CAPS, it is even easier to read them when you silently say "mirror, mirror on the wall...". But maybe I am over-complicating things. No matter how I think it could have been done, I've no idea how it actually was done but I do know that Kevin deserved the Fool Us award... Great Job, good sir!

Your reaction almost made me cry too. Great job man. Keep it up!

I came from Esa’s Instagram story, this is amazinggg!!!

So fun watching this show! :D Love the theme and the trick. You are so talented Kevin!

From the little I know of Chinese, the Chinese characters were the actual translation of what was written in English and what Allison said. I studied it for three years and it's just as difficult as everyone says, so I'm way impressed that Allison learned it in three seconds! Now I know, the key ingredient was Boba milk tea all along...

You could tell how nervous he was the first time! But what an opportunity at such a young age! Kudos man! So good to see!

What th-? How!? Very nicely done. Got wowed!

loved it I am a lover of seeing magic not doing it I can watch it for hours and I do I allow myself 3 hours of binge watching every 2 days

I love it when good guys win. Congrats.

When Kevin asked Allison if she spoke Chinese, I totally thought she responded 是 which really impressed me. Lmao later I figured out she was probably saying "sure"

Holy crap. How is someone this young so freakishly wholesome? As an armchair cynic you bring out my inner child all over again. Thank you bud !

Nice! Allison is fun to watch try stuff! Pretty cool magic trick! The older you get.. I believe you'll create very deceptive illusions.. I cant wait to see more of your work!

Congratulations. Great routine. Teller was again choked up. Good luck. You proved if you work hard you can achieve anything!!

Hey Kevin... That was really cool...ive racked my brain over and over and over and i still cant get how you did that... That was truly original and perfectly performed.. You deserve everything you have.worked so hard for...thank you for sharing your culture and entertaining ALL of us.

This show has really made me appreciate magic as a performance art , like dance, comedy or plays

So proud of you to have repped us so well - as a fan of p&t and having watched you grow, what a moment!!! Congrats again :’)

I loved it!! Congratulations!! Wishing you nothing but success in your future! Peace & Blessings!

I remember these suckers that vibrated and when u put them in your mouth you heard music... the level of the tea never goes down. I believe the metal straw is perfect for transferring the vibration and she was suprised to find that it made recognizable sounds when she put it in here mouth... which explains her comment about the straw and her suprised recoil when first "sipping" the tea.

I read about you on SGVT and came here. You live near me. Neighbors. That’s a great trick. Fooled me too. I think it’s the hidden messages on the milk tea cover. Lollicup to I Love You. Kidding.

Absolutely awesome act! Can't wait to see more.

That was so cool man. Awesome video, I love those guys. And that was an incredible trick also

Wow well done again you fooled them that time .. you are awesome x

Wow man, forget the trick, you put me in tears with your reaction at the end, and yes I am awestruck at the relaxed P&T and Allison. I was wondering if this was a hypnotic magic show?

Just AMAZING!!!!!

He is so humble. Tha'ts awesome bro. Congrats.

That was awesome and a lesson in not giving up

There has to be something Alison sees that we don’t. Because she had a face that looked like she knew something that she knew the audience wasn’t supposed to know

I actually learned Chinese in my school for 4 years so it was cool to actually know what you were saying as well as the characters.

Congratulations young man. Cant wait to see what you come out with next and how you develop as a rising master magician.

I think you have kick ass tricks man keep it up I can't get enough of it bravo man! come up with something and go fool'em again bro!

This video came up and referenced the previous show appearance. I paused this video and watched the first appearance and the personal reflections video. Watching it in this sequence was emotionally soul stirring. 1. The silent reaction to "how do you say 'you fooled us in Chinese?'" 2. Watch the parents/grandmother who were once concerned about the pursuit of magic over business. The way they cheered triumphantly was beautiful.

I love this. I am learning basic Mandarin and I was really drawn to this. Thank you Kevin, and well done!

Really a great show Kevin loved it!!!!! 😀👍😄👍

Great magic Kevin! You’re an inspiration my dude 🤟🏻💯🎯❤️🤙🏼

I just saw you on Valkyrae’s birthday stream! I get chills every time I see your performances. 10/10

Kevin, this just proves that you're getting better and better. What a great trick! And I'm a absolutely thrilled for you! I know this was a dream come true for you. I experienced a dream come true at the age of 21, very close to your age I think so I completely relate. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. And congratulations!

Keep going, you rock!... Few people make Teller talk, less people make Teller cry :D

Brilliant!well done.

Can't tell specifics, but I'm getting the sense that the trick depends on Penn and Teller focusing on Kevin instead of Alyson. Penn says he was quite focused on Kevin's hands the entire time. Using the fact that they're actively trying to analyze what he's doing against them would be a smart diversion.

I really don't care how you did this. The idea is soooo original and I hope you continue to show the world magic like this. Thank you.

THANK YOU FOR A VERY ENTERTAINING MAGIC PERFORMANCE. MY FAMILY LIKES YOU AND WANTS TO SEE MORE OF YOU!

That ending... Well done Kevin!

I'm still not really sure how you did this but I really like the way you draw each card. Also the hobbits might be proud of how well this works on camera.

I saw the happiness in your families eyes , I felt that ! Great trick bro 👊

Thats a momentum 😎🍾👏 Congrats

This! Right here, is resilience for you!

You are one of the few magicians who can say they’ve inspired me. I’m a lifelong lover of magic, and this was beautiful. Thank you so much for posting it, and I hope you know how talented you are! 🥰🖤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Bravo!

What in the world was that! Amazing magic!!!

Congratz Kevin ! That was amazing.

Great video thank you for sharing that emotion with us

So clever. Kind of reminds me of trying to diagnose an electrical problem in a car. You can spend hours and hours and hours looking over everything and trying to understand each particular thing it could be, when all along it is something as simple as a burnt out licence plate light shorting on the back of the car where you would not notice it. Going to check out more of your stuff now, your style is awesome. Great job, Kevin! =)

Your effects and stories are all so special. You're a master of significant, poignant presentation.

I think it was all phychological, very good!!

OMG Kevin You Are Awesome I couldn’t believe they said that I’m happy for you!!

Congratulations Kevin! You are an amazing magician and such a great future ahead of you. ❤️

man your truly an inspiration. im 30 years old and love watching magic and trying to figure out how it was done and this was executed so perfectly. i hope you bought some good sunglasses man, you got a pretty bright future. (lame dad joke i know)

Everyone with a Li is so good in magic😂

Congrats well deserved I'm glad you finally did it . From Kingston Jamaica west indies
