It's interesting. Of course, I was hopeful leading into the performance that I would fool them, but honestly I thought the chances were relatively low They're two VERY smart magic thinkers, after all! When Penn said "index", I actually thought I had them fooled! One of the wrong solutions I thought they might go for was to ask to look in the box. We structured the trick so that they actually can! The box is empty at the end of the trick. So, I think my face was reacting to the little jump in my stomach when I thought they might be going the wrong direction... but then they nailed the rest of the method. Penn was using the term "index" a little loosely in this context. By the end of his guess, I knew they knew :) There's one SMALL part that I think actually did fool them but it was a detail... not a main component. I was satisfied that they guessed the relevant parts.

With everyone knowing that Teller doesn't speak on the stage, I always assumed that when magicians make him pick a number on the card, they expect a number 2-10, cause that's easy to signal. I thought its game over when he mimed king instead :o

In those decks about halfway through each of them have different pen and teller cards with the selected card in between them and the name on their backs. I'm assuming that he used a little magicans glue to help make sure the cards that were put in when they cut the cards to stick to the card above so they wouldn't spread easily but can probably be done as well without as long as cut is above the halfway point. They also probably had different values on their backs so he could do that face up spread at the end.

@@Invictus13666 I guess I’m just confused because I never claimed to know how it was done, just that the magicians face looked distraught when penn says index. Lighten up buddy.
Damn it. I really really wanted you to win the rematch. A shame Penn and Teller saw through your latest gambit. Although it was still super cute. Hope to see you again on Fool Us with something truly mindblowing so you can win that trophy for real.
Great to see that you're still doing what you love. You were one of my favorite teachers in high school. Your magic tricks were really amazing. Thank you for the wonder and excitement you brought to class.

Yeah, I was so flattered that she genuinely seemed happy about me gifting the trophy to her. She asked me after the show if she really was allowed to keep it. One of the writers backstage later mentioned that she kept it on display in her dressing room for the rest of the season's filming :)
"Too Perfect" principle strikes again .. when you printed the chosen card on the backs of the jokers, it narrowed it down to only one method, and that's all she wrote. It's still a good trick 👍

@@SKyrim190 he had an index of different decks with different cards that he swapped out depending on what card they pick. In those decks about halfway through each of them have different pen and teller cards with the selected card in between them and the name on their backs. I'm assuming that he used a little magicans glue to help make sure the cards that were put in when they cut the cards to stick to the card above so they wouldn't spread easily but can probably be done as well without as long as cut is above the halfway point. They also probably had different values on their backs so he could do that face up spread at the end.

I have studied a lot of magic tricks before and this is one of the more common tricks, but the idea to do something like this. I'm just lost for words with how great the act was and from an audience perspective, I don't think there is another trick that is going to be better than this. I'm just blown away

This was truly awesome! Finally someone found a creative way to handle the cards. Also, this trick looks like true self-working magic. So, great job, sir, I really liked it!
Board games and magic! A great combo.
What an awesome trick! Very original!!
I think this was a beautifully done execution of what I think would otherwise be a fairly simple trick (I'm not a magician myself so maybe it's way more complicated than I could imagine though!). The board game idea was cute and entertaining. Well done Caleb, even if you didn't get an FU trophy!
Excellent trick man!

One possible solution is to somehow have 52 different decks inside the game box/table. Just take out the corresponding one. The Penn card has the King Of Spades somehow attached or lightly glued to the back of it, which you unattach at 4:17-4:20 before you place the cards back into the pile.

Maybe you shouldn't have gone home with the trophy, but you should have gotten a special award for that game.
making your performance double as a product pitch is pretty clever.
I half and half expected you to pull a trick with the images. I mean how cool would it be if the card would be in the hands of the caricature Penn and teller right there on the card, making the drawings even more significant. The index though.... Would be fun if that part disappeared somehow. Guaranteed fooler.
