amazing shoutout the three card trick from the start salute to that man incredible

18:00 - Penn says he knows where doves come from. Duh. Eggs. And where do eggs come from?

1:43 - "When you're trying to rip somebody off, there's no room for failure. You can get k'illed." MY belief is that when you're trying to rip somebody off, SUCCESS is more likely to get you k'illed. Failing, when you're trying a rip-off, just might save your life.

25:49 - Penn says at 25:49 that he felt that moving all of the Blue M&Ms to Teller gave Teller "the edge". If Penn really knows how the trick is done, that's code-talk to Matt Barker, because nothing Penn did in terms of dividing up the M&Ms with Teller, or making trades afterwards, affected the point-spread. I mean, Penn COULD have made a different swap that would have changed the score from 7-to-9 into 8-to-10 or into 6-to-8, but with that configuration of M&M's in play, and with the cards lying where they lay, all possible arrangements of the M&Ms would still cause Teller to win by 2 points. When Penn says the die showing the "2" was an electric moment, I think he's code-talking the fact that by some electronic transmission Matt Barker knew what the die was set at, and also knew how the cards were lying, before the opened the M&Ms and used sleight-of-hand to alter the color-distribution in the contents so that a win for Teller by a spread of 2 was inevitable no matter how the candies were distributed. Now, the cards as dealt could just as well have landed so that Penn had Yellow-Green-Blue and Teller had Red-Orange-Brown. In that event, PENN would have been the person who would win by 2 no matter how the candies were swapped around (as long as both players had the same number of candies). Given that, Matt Barker also had to have inside knowledge of the way the cards were lying too. Then at 22:10 when he opens the pack of M&Ms he has to alter the contents so that the distribution of the colors, no matter how P&T divvy them up, creates the inevitable result he wants. It's still a really hard thing to pull off even if he knows the cards and the die, because he has to do the calculations in his mind alone, and his sleight-of-hand in getting the right numbers of colors of each M&M to come out had to be impeccable, and it looked to me like it was.

in math, by studying simple cases (e.g. giving teller all the blue m&m's) you can understand the more complicated, general case. so i'd believe if it wasn't code, because the example they were doing the thinking with was so simple. once you can understand the simple trick and understand all other tricks as modified cases of that trick and see that the modifications make no difference, you can understand all the possible choices of m&m's. this would not have been as easy to see if they had a more disordered spread of m&m's.

39:17 - I'm fine with the idea that Teller never put the bill into the lemon, but how it got into Penn's nose is beyond me. I don't see how the trick could have started with Penn having a non-matching bill already up his nose, because there's no path from the tweezers to Katy's gloved hands at which the reverse switch could have been made. Sure, Teller helped her unfold it a bit, but she had already seen the match by then, and I don't think Teller's hands were doing a switch at that point.

Switched the entire bill so they could use a part of it to match with the second part hidden beforehand in Penn's nose?

My god, I think that dove show might be the hardest show I've ever seen performed.

2:50 - I've actually met Joe Monti's brother, Trey. Trey C. Monti. I'm not sure what the "C" stands for. If I had to guess, I'd guess it's the surname of their maternal grampa Random (Mr. Random Pickenny "Whotta" Card).

1:59 - I hope Joe Monti can earn with magic enough money to take some time to try again with his patent but without taking any financial risks on it. Making our environments more aseptic is a great idea.

If Penn keeps the blue and teller keeps the brown the difference is still 2 but teller didn’t have to choose 2 is the mystery

Where is Allyson???

ExpEcer: It's not generally known why Alyson left. It could be that the network feels that the cast with Allyson might have been more expensive than the cast with Brooke, but that the cast with Alyson was worth the extra cost in order to grow the viewership. It might be that the viewership has leveled off, and so the network was looking to make more money not by higher viewership (higher ad-revenue) but by lower costs, and so Alyson was replaced by not-as-big-a-name Brooke to save money. But maybe Alyson just wanted to branch off in a new direction and return to actual acting instead of just emceeing (hosting). Or, even, retire from show-biz altogether. She's allowed to do that.

I. Ant believe Brooke is 52. I would have never guessed that.

She easily looks 52. Even with the work she's had plus dressing like a teenager. Makeup etc.

A little bit disappointed in Penn and tellers trick. They did put a new twist on it a little bit I guess. But nonetheless an old trick done by a lot of magician's and one of david blaines tricks he performs often. And in several videos.

@@egroegartfart The 2 had a false corner that was the ace, you only see the corner, he ditches the false corner in his pants, watch his moves. @6:03 he does it, it didn't work the first time so he put them back in his pants to remove the false corner covering the 2.

@bobferry55 - Your comment doesn't actually explain anything. It has too many verbal shortcuts such as the word "swapped" with no specification as to what swapping actually consists of. "Swapped" is a result. It doesn't describe the action that led to the result.
