I watched it slower, at regular speed. Even though I know it's sleight of hand, I only caught one hitch. It may have been a part of it, just a hesitation. That was just amazing and probably took a LOT of practice. Plus doing that so close to Penn and Teller. Fantastic. Well done.

Vegan Powered I totally agree! Sometimes I feel like they shouldn’t give them the trophy for not fooling them, but they should let performances like this one they should tell him look you didn’t fool us but this was the best performance I’ve seen without us being fooled so you still get the trip to Vegas to perform at our show...because he definitely deserves to perform at their show, I’ve never seen anything like that either and I’ve watched almost every episode of Fool Us and I even slowed it down to .25 playback speed and you still can not see how he is doing anything that was an absolute amazing performance definitely one of if not the best one I’ve seen yet right next to Shin Lim I’ll have to say my favorite 2 I’ve watched!! Incredible!

I could follow every move, and the position of every coin, but I had the same face as Teller simply because the sleight of hand is so fast and perfect. Big congratulations to Giacomo, the routine is very nice. I'm curious to know how much practice it took to get such a clean result.
Teller's "oooooohhhhhh" when you picked up the black hole was fantastic. You made him see magic like a kid sees magic, and I bet that really made his day. Nicely done.

Actually, this might be one of those tricks that are even MORE impressive if you know how it is done, just based on Teller’s facial impressions😄👍🏻
This just looks like real magic to me. Amazing.

@Paul Dawson well, P&T don't know who's coming on until they come on, but... other producers of the show may well have had that approach, and it seems to be a philosophy that P&T are after, generally.
you didn't fool them, but you 100% fooled me. my mind is completely blown.
Thank you, director and producer, for the cutaways in the middle of the magic act, which is what we want to see on the show. If we want to look at people in an audience feigning surprise, horror and glee, do it [wait for it] AFTER the magic act is done.
Masterful performance and skill!
The balls on this guy to preform sleight of hand with them right on top of him. Probably the closest anyone has done magic in front of them. It was an absolute badass routine.

@@N4xu5 Turner is a good comparison to this routine. They know every move, but with Turner they literally could never in their lifetimes do it themselves. I think that's why Teller was so excited. He was seeing a level of skill and artistry that is simply not achievable without thousands of hours put into it. Absolutely incredible.
This is art. Even if someone makes a reveal video of this, it would still take decades of practice to do it this well.
This performance was just plain beautiful and unbelievably smooth. I really really enjoyed it, one of the best I've seen on this show.

Also so close, with two different angles. Using magic that angles and close proximity have to matter. Beautiful routine. I'll be in awe forever.
I was smiling the whole time. Wonderful.
I’m up to date on all the seasons and this is hands down one of the best performances. Top 5 coin routines for sure. So good I don’t even want to know how it’s done. I just want to enjoy and be amazed.
Proud to be Italian! Sir, you're a pleasure to watch, very talented. Fooled'em or not, I foresee a brilliant career for you! Avere qualcuno che ha rappresentato così onorevolmente l'Italia è un vero piacere!
Agree the best magic performance I have seen! Incredible and amazing!!
With P&T that close, yes it would be practically impossible to fool them, however the sterling praise from Penn is worth something.

There should be a bonus award for "WOW" factor! We all know how you did it (obviously, using slight of hand!!) but it's amazing even still!!

Very good! It doesn't matter how you did it, it was magic to watch.
That was amazing. I have been watching Fool Us for a long time now. That routine blew me away
Absolutely amazing sleigh of hand. Showing the smaller black circles at the end however gave away a lot of the moves because it tells that he was using those to hide the coin on the black hole.

Perhaps, as he did not have to show the black disks & because often we saw both sides of the coin, he wanted the disks contemplated & decided on as the method ?? - it worked with you, but not with P&T

Amazing RIGHT THERE! How they weren’t fooled and didn’t say “you’re just that good” was mind blowing. Clearly just that good
Davvero complimenti, una delle più belle routine viste in tutto il programma. Da come parava Penn, nonostante avessero capito alcune mosse, sembrava non le avessero viste tutte e pensavo ti dessero il trofeo. Davvero complimenti cmq, sei stato l'unico concorrente italiano a portare un trucco da vero professionista nel programma
how did this not fool them??? 10/10
That was a beautiful routine. You are truly a master of coin magic!
If Penn and Teller just say it is slight of hand, then nobody can fool them. I don't think Penn and Teller understand all the details of this magic, but this is their show.
That was a masterful display of prestidigitation! Good luck with your book.
If you've ever seen this guy's cylinder and coins (from New york coin magic seminar or European coin magic symposium), you'll know how good his technique is. I remember I was even more shocked when his explanation came out after the performance. He showed the end of the coin techniques that no one has ever shown before in human coin magic history..
The editing on this did this performance no favors and the music was off, but still really awesome!

@@kevinmcmenamin260 I might just do that Kevin I've always wanted to see Australia just tell me one thing... Are there any good bars around there... Someone told me that Australia is the drink capital of the world. Honestly after all that this U.S. Soldier has seen I could use a few drinks. But I might take a trip to Australia when I can bring my wife and my son with me. But yes I might just stop in Australia for a trip. One thing is for sure this pastor is ready to go home. I haven't seen her since the night that she had my son 9 years ago because I have been serving in Iraq and I'm just ready to meet my son for the first time. I've been over here for over 9 years almost 10 but I would like to know are they still filming the Chase there in Australia. Sorry if I bored you with my story and with my longing to be home.
I have FAR too much respect for the art of illusion to ask how a trick is done, and the art form deserves that quality of honour, that depth of respect. One way to cheapen the art form for the magician---for the very ARTIST---is to ask, "How did you do that?" Our silent amazement is a compliment, while the question is almost an insult. Very seldom do I want to know how a trick is done because I hold the skill in such high regard, but in this instance, I was so captivated, so mesmerized, so confused and stymied by the quality of the performance, that I am very tempted to ask. I'm not asking, and I'm not going to ask. I'm just saying that the temptation to ask is so strong that I have to bite my bravado to keep from doing it. I have never seen anything like this, and yet I know that it is still "just" the craft of illusion. I guess the word that best describes it is "flabbergasted."

Pause at 2:06 you can see a big coin imprint on his right (stage left) hand at the flesh at base of thumb from palming the coin. Still amazing slight of hand though
He's using 8 coins and insanely amazing slight of hand
Where the fuck does the coins go? Just amazingly beautifully done!
Did the audio take a steep dive into the shitter around the one-forty mark for anyone else? The applause sound like breaking class and the music and sound effects sound like a bunch of cans rattling in a bag or some shit
