Ive now seen every episode of P&T fool us, and after careful consideration as much as I was blown away by some of the amazing card manipulators with great music and theatrics this one act you did is my favorite to watch because its so unique from all the rest and has roots in the glitches of reality we often don't take into consideration as well. great work, and part of me thinks you did fool them on a different level.

Nice job Tyler. I’m surprised no one is talking about the greeting card part of the trick. I think the card was like a book. He showed the audience the card already opened (to pages 1 and 2) where he placed his picture over page 1. He then closes the card then while delivering the verbal spiel and he presses on all four corners, which glue or tape pages 1 and 2 together. So when he opens it again, it’s shows pages 3 and 4 that we see with the group picture which was pre-setup ahead.

@RandyWinn42

3 ай бұрын

If it's ok to speculate on the technique ... While the sticky-corner technique would work, I suspect it is simpler than that. Notice that the front is symmetrical around the horizontal axis facing the audience, and that he spun the card around its it. If the prop were a tri-fold, with the left leaf folding in front and the right leaf going in back (so that it looks like a Z from the top), then the spin was not as a mere flourish but a change of orientation naturally resulted in exposing different faces (of the card) when opened.

Such a fun performance. I love educational magic tricks. I went back and watched it very carefully several times and figured out how it was done, and it's amazing how easily deceived the human mind can be

For those wondering 2:53 notice how he put the picture behind the file, the picture was swapped. The 2 normal pictures of pen and teller were overlaid on each other.

@@definesigint2823 Many years ago, some (I think German) scientists did an experiment where they gave a guy a pair of glasses that turned everything upside-down and he had to wear them constantly. At first he had trouble managing anything but it got to the point where he could ride a bicycle. When they took them off, the poor guy had to go through the whole process of learning everything again (I remember a video of him failing to shake hands). I think the thing is that the brain makes it all up anyway: it constructs a model of the world from the various inputs and programs itself so that the model seems to work. It's not that the retinal image is upside-down: it's that the brain has to take whatever it gets (it doesn't know the image is upside-down: it's just a bunch of electrical signals, after all, it's not even an image until the brain makes it one) and produce behaviour that doesn't get us killed and helps us achieve our objectives (riding a bike, shaking hands - whatever). Just my two penn'orth. It was a long, long time ago that I heard about the experiment and I haven't--sorry--gone to check whether I can find it again. Maybe that's tomorrow's entertainment.

When he first show is picture and when placed his picture, on the stand, that was a second picture, with the mouth clearly upside down.

Truly a wonderful trick. It's just simple slight of hand, but he has you so focused on the photos' differences from reality, you don't notice those differences when they're upside down. He also makes sure to put Teller's photo behind Penn's because by that time we're even more focused on the differences. Such great misdirection and arrangement of props.

Dude, you're definitely improving yourself, all this mind tricks are very cool i was so focused on the effect and the explanation i didn't see the magic at first, had to go to the very own magic of KZread, now you owe us and will have to come back next time with something more!

Very nice performance! Had to view it twice to see the mechanism. P&T did good job noticing the trick on first view - their facial expressions misled me thinking they would have missed the actual mechanism, too.

Tweak the sales pitch a little, tighten up or alter the tech, and it's gold.

I don't get how they decide on the editing of the presentation some of these effects for the screen. There was one shot that practically focused in on the move... and in some acts the editing seems to go out of its way to hide the effect. P&T may have worked it out anyway, obviously, but for someone like me, who treats magic more like a sudoku, I want to have to work at figuring it out... I want to earn that AHA! But there was some shonky editing in presenting this as a "Magic Trick". Had I been watching it from the audience, I doubt I would have spotted it...

Is pure slight of hand. All the nonsense about the processes of the brain and all this, it's scientifically accurate don't get me wrong, but for the means of the trick, it's purely a distraction. Go back and watch each picture carefully, his first one gets switched to jumbled one at 2:10 when he hides it behind the card, Penn gets switched at 2:54 when he gestures towards the picture of himself (which is genius btw), and Teller gets switched at 3:31. To be honest, knowing this, makes the trick even cooler to me.
