Not only am I not disappointed, but I'm even more impressed after learning the secret. A simple idea can turn out to be amazing and magical is what magic is all about!

Thank you for this reveal. So someone wrote the answers, placed the paper on top of the sole in the prop brought in to hold the briefcase. You then stepped on the sole and therefore placed it in your shoe as you yelled for the audience to applaud Teller coming up - hiding the sound of the sole’s magnets clicking onto the shoe. Wow very tricky. The key is the helper who was off stage to load the answers onto the sole. No one expected an offstage helper - least of all Penn and Teller in this trick. Great job.

this is the best conclusion to a fool us video ever. thank you for explaining it to us, absolutely brilliant. you are a class act.

It's interesting to acknowledge these genius tricks after they've been performed on stage and they left you breathless. Thank you for this video!

I remember watching your trick years ago, completely befuddled. Glad I've managed to stumble upon it again now, that there is a proper explanation for it. Thanks for making it public, it won't keep me awake at night anymore. :D Good job on the trick and really, thanks for letting us know about how it was done!

One thing I know about Penn and Teller is if you are going to fool them, you need to create your own tricks because they know all of the old ones.

It's not disappointing at all. Magic tricks take creativity, and thinking up how to do it is the real amazing part. Something so simple, and to fool them all you have to do is use a different method than they try to guess. Well done!

I absolutely love how such a simple gimmick creates such a fantastic trick! Great work!

My favorite part was using the crowd to mask out the sound of the gimmick. Talk about resourcefulness.

Perfect example of not giving up, you were busted at first And came back later to fool them. Well done

You're amazing man, love your work. Thanks so much for making this vid!

That was absolutely amazing!!! Say what u want about the simplicity & downplay it all u want but 2 come up with the idea was absolutely genius. Keep up the amazing work & never lose that drive & determination.

Thanks for sharing this, and more-so for answering a large portion of the comments on this video giving your viewers even further insight to this creative trick.

Thanks for sharing your trick. I love magic, but it's pretty hard to beat the look on the faces of Penn and Tellar when they are actually fooled. They are like kids again just as we all are when someone manages to pull that wool so effectively. Cheers mate.

I didn't see your original. But I just watched the FU video and enjoyed it very much. Then I watched your reveal video and went back to watch your FU again. Seven years after you posted FU and 5 years after the Reveal and watching P&T say they were fooled, and it was still exciting to watch you react to fooling them. Thank you for posting both these videos. I wish you well.

Nicely done! The method is never disappointing to me. I find it fascinating and clever.

Lmao 😂😂😂 love the heckler trick...watched every fool us episode and it seems the simplest tricks are the ones that fool penn and teller. Even with these simple methods I would still stuff it up lol keep up the good work.

Truly a lesson in crafting the perfect magic trick, using all the tools at the disposal of the illusionist. The magnetic sole is a unique and brilliant innovation that produces a seemingly normal shoe that Jonathan can hold in his hand. Plus, changing the focus from the suitcase to the shoe was an excellent use of misdirection, causing Penn & Teller to overlook the simple possibility that the written answer was transported on stage with the table. On both counts you truly fooled them on the night, as part of an entertaining performance full of humour and surprises. Thanks for posting the solution after all these years, and for your graciousness in answering people's questions along the way. I'm interested to know if Penn & Teller have now learned the solution - I'm guessing they'd be doubly impressed.

I figured wires and you pulled the answer paper down into your sock. Your method is so much cleaner. Congratulations on kicking butt.

Thanks so much for this, the insight into the thought process, and the info about how it works behind the scenes was very entertaining. Regarding the magnets, having the pole orientation of the front magnet on the shoe be the opposite of the magnets on the back of the part you are picking up would prevent it from attaching early. Probably not a trick you are going to be doing again after this video though, heh. Again, great job!

"honest trickery". Nice. Blazingly simple yet hugely entertaining. Voted !

Thanks for making this video! It's quite funny that so many people (including Penn and Teller) could be fooled by this, so simple but I couldn't have guessed it in years either - nice one mate

I was baffled badly. I couldn't put the pieces together...but you did...(pun intended). Just brilliant! I want your three DVDs.

You're incredible for explaining this for all of us, and even more incredibly literally no one guessed it.

Very very cool! I love how you really thought about how it could be done then sacked all those ideas off and came up with a brand new gimmick. Love it

I love the fact that everyone is focused on the suitcase to contain the prediction, and that allows for the table to be brought on stage without anyone noticing it wasn't there in the first place. That's great misdirection!

thanks Richard, love the fact you made up this method basically on the spot and still managed to fool them.

Saw both performances on P & T and was in tears when Richard 'won' on second attempt. Trick is fantastic, and when you find out how it is done it is very much hmmmmmm now why didn't I think of that! Brilliant

Penn has said that P&T spend an unbelievable amount of time money and effort to set up something that takes only about 30 seconds for you to see.

Awesome video bro. Keep it up

Way too late for the giveaway, but had to leave a comment about this video. Absolutely fantastic to see you following up on this! The simple methods can be the hardest to figure out. Wonderfully done, great prop and thanks for sharing the explanation!

It proves that an idea, no matter how simple it seems once explained, is absolutely brilliant at it's time of conception. Simple technology and great showmanship fooled two of the best magicians going and that's the part I enjoyed. You got em.

EDIT: OH I see, they had an assistant bring a table on stage with it hidden somewhere at the bottom. They totally edited it out so that was not shown during the act, made it much harder to guess thats for sure.

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I didn't remember the table being brought on after the contests were complete. That would have been a big clue, but even so, I would not have guessed that it was something as simple as a gimmicked shoe. It seems like every trick is so simple once you learn the secret. I don't think it spoils the entertainment. I'm glad things have changed from when I was a kid, and the secrets were never revealed, because back then, watching magic shows only frustrated me.
