But the "u" is also capitalized, and FU is the initials of Fool Us. So he made the bag specifically for this one performance, which is pretty cool.

    @@ondrejsoroka8170 - Dude, seriously? Santa isn't real and this trick didn't involve anything being balanced. Sorry to spoil the illusion. This is part of a family of tricks where an illusion of impossibly perfect balance is created by locking the pieces together. Usually the "balanced" structure is then dismantled by hand, manually disconnecting all the locking mechanisms. For it to fall down when the dog jumped, there needed to be a way to disengage all of the locking mechanisms all at once, which is the real trick. Like a lot of good tricks on P&T, it's a standard setup that's elevated by a new twist.

    Anything not being balanced? So you think that it is not important how weight of that chair is distributed and there is no relation between weight of a dog and weigth of the bag of dog food? Center of mass of the whole structure is not above the little step ladder? What you expect would happen after dog jump off the weight of the bag over weigth everything. I am sure that it can be calculated and manifactured of course maybe i am wrong and it is done some different way but i was not suprise by the falling of the structure I would be more suprise if that would stay. You can see that ball was not touching the board so it was in stable position and the ball and cylinder just help him with building the structure.

The balancing is the distraction to make you think that's how the trick works. It's why the falling apart was such a great twist -- it brought that part of the illusion back and made the idea of the stacking relying on balance even stronger (even though, again, it's not how it actually works)

    I think Penn once said that good magic has a sense of inevitability. You know what's coming, but you can't believe it's happening. That's how I felt this whole trick. I know it was going to be a seemingly impossible balancing act of some kind, but each step was a delight to see set up, and the final part just had me with my jaw hanging opening. True magic.

    @@AlexanderNixonArtHistory Nothing button based, just small latches - a knob in a slot - made so that trying to bend the joint in one direction holds it together, letting it spring back disengages the joint, and balanced: plank without the chair tilts towards the food side, disengages from the ladder. Chair without the sign falls over backwards, detaches from the plank. Sign without dog springs back, detaches from the chair. I suspect solid steel frames or at least sizeable inserts inside the plank and the chair because this sort of bending momentum could easily rip anything this small from wood. Essentially a tensegrity build, where the weight of the dog holds all the joints latched tightly, and removing it makes everything flex back and all joints disengage. Now for the reward - this all, being under load, flexing like that, has a tendency to introduce wobbling - dog stepping over the sign would make the whole thing shake at the springy joints and break the illusion, making it clear how it's all latched together. It's the dog's exceptional training and skill that keeps wobbling invisible.

    Very, very well done. Charming approach with little MJ, and honestly the one thing I caught watching this, I doubt I would have caught without the benefit of the camera angles and closeness. And I agree with Penn's comments about the finish, the whole thing collapsing was a very nice, fresh finish on an age old act. Gotta say though, the most magical thing about this routine is how much that little dog clearly loves and trusts you. A lot of the times when a magician brings an animal into the act it makes me uneasy for the animal's sake, but MJ was as cool as a cucumber and knew you were the person to keep his attention on and he did not seem stressed out by the act or the environment. You are clearly a very good assistant ;)

    The top of the ladder as an electromagnet in it, you can see it at 7:14, the 3 silver rectangles. It actually looks like a maglock for a security door. The silver plank has a hole in the backside that a peg from the chair leg inserts in to. You can see the hole at 2:09 and then at 2:53 you can see a button on the back side of the chair leg that electromechanically actuates the peg, which he presses at 3:35 when he puts it in place. The only thing I can't easily see is how the sign is attached to the chair but i'm guessing something on the backside of the chair is holding on to the sign, also electrically actuated. at 5:24 when he has the dog jump you can see he's pressing a transmitter in his right pocket which disengages the maglock on the ladder, the pin on the chair leg, and whatever holds the sign.

    I think at 3:57 he releases something that flaps down a portion of the back side of the frame so it lays flat on the chair (which we wouldn't see at our perspective), Then at 4:05 pressing a button on the leg of the chair (you can see the button at 4:58) that activates an electromagnet in the chair to firmly attach the sign (you can even hear a click sound as it snap into position at 4:06). I'm guessing the electromagnet in the ladder is also passing electricity through to power whatever is in the chair so it can stay light. But he's careful to never really show the back side of the sign.

    Nice trick. 03:33 +3 seconds. Here is where the magic happens: some tiny but rigid rods fall down from chair's feet to the hole in the bridge base. The bridge has reinforced structure here, you can see it at 03:45. The blue roll is not required here anymore. The whole construction remains stable, when it is tensioned to the right. The same happens with the bridge, where the dog stands: 03:56 you release the rods, that fall down into the chair, 04:07 you hear them locking. (Notice that Black dots on the god's bridge: these are "extensions" - reinforced compartments where rods reside). The whole construction now has more weight on the left and the rods in the locks are tensioned. When you remove weight on the right (the dog), the construction naturally falls to the left, because there are no "locks". Most probably when construction falls apart all rods are retracted by light springs. The dog food at the right "plays" only at the end. It is only required to pull the whole setup to the left, so it falls down and self-destructs (retracts). I am really surprised, why P&T did not get it. Probably because you are a good performer and were able to distract them with the dog and the red shoes! :)

    Alex, great routine, well deserved win, etc. I don't know who deserves more credit here, MJ for being so well-behaved, or you for being such an unbelievably good dog trainer. Even if P&T or even us as the audience could have easily figured out how to do the trick, you still deserve massive props for incorporating an animal as part of your routine. You mentioned as a joke that there's a rule in magic about always needing a blonde assistant, but there's actually a "rule" in show business about never working with children or animals. Animals introduce an inherent element of unpredictability, they will never be the perfect assistant or stooge in the same way that a cognizant human would; and even though I'm not a magician, I can only imagine that unpredictability is the worst enemy of magic. Had MJ stepped in the wrong place, or gotten scared or bored or whatever and just NOPE'd out, your routine is ruined. But obviously MJ played the part of the assistant flawlessly, so like I said, you deserve props for both having the guts to incorporate MJ in your act, and for being such a good trainer that your routine is able to go off without a hitch.

He fixes the plank, then tbe classic plexiglass trick as he rocks the chair into position and now supported by the glass. Then the dog plank fixed with his right hand into the left front corner of chair. You can see its not centered on the chair. The whole thing works amazingly cause he fools you with the blue roller and ball but it's already fixed into position as soon as he rocks and twists the plexiglass into position. It's a civil engineering marvel of a trick. Nice job!

    Kudos! I've been waiting for this video for a week! At first I thought it was not gonna be impressive, but MJ playing his part perfectly added more than enough spice to the gimmick. The way I get it, the mechanism you built before our eyes is one that functions on additions and subtractions, and the flow of the calculation matters more than the basic principles of "suspension tricks" for this show. The applied weight of the dog food package may be remote controlled as well. It was impressive that P&T could not even come up with an idea to explain the wobble. Seeing a happy dog is always a pleasure, and I hope you two achieve even more success.

    The wobble the Penn mentioned is @ 3:56 They were surprised when the entire mechanism wobbled, because suspension tricks are usually stiff mechanisms with "Pin A into Slot B". When the dog moves it wobbles. Why? Because the bottom part of the structure is not "Pin A into Slot B" it is a balance. The chair and dog food are simply balancing on the stepladder. This also helps when he wants the mechanism to break apart. At 3:48 you can barely see the pin from the plank sticking up into the chair leg. At 4:07 you can see and hear him lock the "Dog Park Sign" into the chair.
