I watched Penn & Teller talk for about 2 hours about their 30 years in magic. So I heard Teller speak plenty. These were non-refundable tickets and the show was so horrible with a misleading title that anyone who called for a refund was given one without question. Most people there thought they bought tickets to a P&T magic show not a podcast. The host (who we thought we just introducing P&T) said something like “Teller will be talking about...” and most of the audience laughed at that knowing Teller doesn’t speak in his magic show. Jokes was on us and they certainly fooled us.

Assuming all 52 cards in the deck, he'd have to record 52 for Teller, and 52 for Penn. Not 52x52, or 52x51, but 52 "Teller, you picked $CardName!" And 52 "Don't worry Penn, I didn't forget you - you picked $CardName!" The program selects the correct recording for Teller, and then the correct recording for Penn separately.

And then play file with the same cards chosen. I think you already prepare all possible outcome file for that rap.

It's so funny how he's standing there besides Alyson trying to hide his lats - with no success at all :D

I don't know how this was done, and I'm not sure I want to know, but it is peculiar to me that he didn't have Penn or Teller flip over their own cards to reveal them. Can anyone tell me if that's where the trick comes into play? In other words, would the outcome be the same if Penn and Teller had revealed the cards under their hands instead of Blake doing it?

Man... he LOOKS like a swimmer or a diver... and I so wanna hear those few words that Teller gifts the performers

Great routine and boy you're pretty talented! 🙌

This is a completely mechanical trick. Very Richard Turner-esq. All the shuffles at the start, after the initial show of the face up mixed deck, put the deck back into a modified new deck order with at least the Spades in place of the Clubs. The last shuffle before the selection was with the backs up, and not faces up like the first two, to hide this from Penn who would have caught that immediately. Penn's selection was dead center of the deck and should have been the King of Clubs, but I believe Clubs and Spades were swapped entirely to help in getting the cards back into a reasonably random order at the end. If he had stayed with the first card and not swapped, it would have been another king, presumably the King of Diamonds since he landed on a kissing king, and we know where the Hearts are due to Tellers choice. Teller picked the second card from the end, the Two of Hearts in new deck order. The first card on the end was the Ace of Hearts, the card on the other side of the Two was the Three, and so on back through all the hearts. The hand work and cut during the rap was enough to shuffle the cards into what looked random during the final spread. He could have simply done the reveal in the rap at the table, but the pre-recording adds another layer. That's 104 recordings, the correct two recordings somehow signaled to a person off stage, or an accomplice who watched the selection, counted the card location, and got the two correct recordings. I imagine what Teller said was, "You shuffled the deck back into a type of new deck order before the selection."

The deck was clearly marked and Kevin didn't appreciate Penn leaning in to check so himself. You could see at the end of the performance when Penn gets up and applauds Kevin just looks straight at him clearly annoyed that he knew what Penn saw. As for the trick itself he had someone backstage play the right answer to the selected cards. If he really knew what Penn and teller were gonna pick he would of integrated the 2 cards into the rhyme he said upfront. There, solved.

@HockeyGuy_in_STL

This trick is not done with a marked deck.

That was really good , and fun.

My guess: His rap signals to the "magic DJ" what cards Penn and Teller selected. The "magic DJ" plays the correct audio sample. How did he know what the card was? Magicians have been doing that part for a long time and this is a, like he said, rendition of that trick. I love the rendition. Penn and Teller love the rendition, but unfortunately, they are very familiar with this type of trick and familiar enough with code language to bust it.
