Amazing how nobody's even considered how impressive it is that they were upside-down for over 6 minutes and didn't fall unconscious and were able to do a full performance, talking, bending "under" the table and juggling things around without even getting out of breath. Penn stumbling around at the end shows just how dizzying it must've been for them, they both can barely stand, hopping around all over the place! Serious props to them!

I mean, knowing how most of the "magic" is performed in the bit (I saw this years ago so knew what the gimmick was) that's what I would've assumed. But now looking at it much more closely, I see that those tricks are more dependent on the camera movement than anything else. That with each case, either Teller's hand moves to where the top of the frame already is, or the camera zooms in closer at the right moment to make sure his hand is at the top of the frame, thus the home audience can't see it simply falling up out of frame (or down, as is the real case). cause with everything else, objects are clearly "dropping up".

I knew because I saw an interview with Penn where he was talking about doing this skit upside down on SNL and how they could never get it right in rehearsal but nailed it live.

Even knowing the big reveal, this is pretty impressive. It's hard to act somewhat naturally when gravity feels reversed. Also, when Penn takes a "sip" and thunks the cup "down," it's great support for the reality they're creating.

I figured it out a minute before the end, I feel wicked smaht! :P

I saw this on SNL when it first aired. I was a kid and got my dad to come and watch. We could not figure out how they were doing this until the end. I’ve been a crazy fan since then. Penn and Teller are amazing to see in person.

I saw this live on air in 86'. Just as great now as it was then. Thanks for posting SNL!!

The ending made so much sense because throughout the bit I kept wondering why teller's face looked like he was holding his breath for 12 hours

One of the cooler things I noticed was that during the "flying 2 of spades" trick, Penn intentionally started rubbing the deck of cards really obviously on the table to sell the fact it was a trick, but not due to gravity. That plus the many sips of the cup to keep the illusion that they were the right side up.

@Dusty_B

2 жыл бұрын

I assumed he was trying to find where the deck would reattach to the table via magnets and when they didn't stick he just gave up and tossed them under the table.

(no, peter griffin was made 10 years after this and is a cartoon) - "my favorite part was when they walked on the ceiling at the end" - spoiling the act - random quote from the video, because no one else here watched it thanks for reading, you're now up to date.

I like to refer to people who can't shut up about their atheism as "raging atheists". It takes normally intelligent people like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and makes him say illogical things. Like the time he did an entire seminar about how Christianity and other religions have held back humanity and generally has had a negative impact on us then came to the conclusion that there is no god. Logically speaking, one thing has nothing to do with the other. It's especially sad to me for a brilliant scientist to make such an unscientific leap in logic. That being said, I don't really think that Penn and Teller are "raging atheists". They really don't talk about it that much unless it's brought up directly. Epic Compilations, on the other hand, appears to be a "raging Christian". His case is even worse than most "raging atheists" I can think of.

TheDisarminghinkle you are completely disingenuous. Way to blatantly lie about Neil DeGrasse Tyson and his positions. Religion has indeed hindered scientific progress in the past and in certain cases still does today and has caused a great deal of negative things. Also, NDT didn't come to that conclusion at all and we both know it. He is an agnostic atheist and has said that himself, meaning he didn't claim that there isn't a god.
