Meredith Monroe that is so well said. Even if he's not fooled, when he's entertained, Teller is wide eyed like a kid in a candy store. There's a lot to be learned from that, given that he's such an accomplished sleight of hand artist. Love your comment.

Teller is a beautiful soul

When this trick was done, I reflexively yelled, "That's GORGEOUS!!" Sometimes a Shin Lim type act with a lot of moving parts is great. Sometimes it's just as good to have one absolutely perfect little moment.

No any decent magician you would not have seen that! also would have faked a better fake name!

“Aliens” beamed the weight inside the balloon by using the 5th dimension. What you didn’t see is the giant invisible robot on stage, because it was giant and invisible. The robot was holding the aliens the whole time.

Bro you sound as logical as Spock. You would make an honorary Vulcan and I agree. Great performance!

I wonder if when Penn said about Alyson seeing the trick in her own way in addition to P&T as that would be a triple he specifically meant that she helped them to decipher the trick with her non-conventional signature.

I saw Michael do some card tricks in a private show in Batavia, NY. He fooled me. Badly.

This is indeed very subtle trick

Mind-blowing!

That was a beautifully done bit of Magic.

Beautiful trick. No clue how you did it, but lovely to watch.

In other news: all of his defendants are appealing their convictions.

He's doing something with the properties of the balloon I don't want to explain. I just want to say it's brilliant. Absolutely brilliantly creative. So cool.

great trick , very relaxing too. maybe it was the balloon? or the smooth presentation?, well? actually both. : )

One of their camera edits was a little mean. Zoomed in at the worst moment . Beautiful trick, such a lovely effect. No idea how the balloon came back down, except from what Penn seemed to suggest.

Nice trick.

Good performance. Better luck next time 👍

This is why I'm a skeptic. Because knowing that there is a potential explanation to what appears supernatural makes the event more interesting, not less. It tells us so much about how our brains work, and how easily our sense can mislead us. Not to mention how these illusions mean our brain is functioning normally! Great trick, my guy. Love the honesty :).

That was great, one of the finest performances I've seen on that show. You have a wonderful storytelling rhythm and I'm sure that helps with the illusion. I have the worst coordination so magic is out of the question for me, but I can live vicariously through other magicians. I have one question, and maybe you are forbidden to answer, but as we all know magicians are not supposed to share their tricks, is there something in your contract to appear on the show that would persuade you to tell the producers or Penn and Teller if the trick did fool them but they guessed something? Like one person was asked "is this the method you used?" the answer was no, but do they have something in place in case that person lies?

@mugzy81

Жыл бұрын

Yes, there is a panel of judges that know the true solution and they know the hidden messages that Penn uses when explaining the secret behind the trick. That way if he used the wrong description, but there may be some slight confusion, they will go to the judges for verification of the "fool." This has happened in many cases where there could be different solutions and the way Penn describes it is either close enough (no fool) or off enough that it results in them being fooled. That's the check and balance that prevents someone from outright lying about their trick. Also a code of ethics that is agreed upon to appear on the show. Hope this clears things up a bit.

The real magic is @ 4:31 . The balloon is still floating lmao.
