The moment he cried, I felt all the years spent in his room practicing, all the sleepless nights, all tireless hours looking for the perfect handling ,the perfect cards, the perfect angles just poured down when Penn said he fooled them. Good job dear sir!

I think Penn was only taking multiple guesses to build suspense because he knew that they were wrong. He even prefaced it by implying that there was a "disadvantage" when he knew there wasn't. Pretty funny when he asked the interpreter to say "He fooled us" and she gasps and says (in English) "You fooled them."

So what, if he used one of "these guessing" as "extra" bonus ? It would make the decision even more questionable and less enjoyable Maybe they were 100% sure none of them were used, but still, I didn't like it

@@jyesucevitz No. Stereotypes are usually based in fact. That the japanese are stereotyped in such a way tells us that it's more common for them to be such than is otherwhere. Ergo, it's perfectly fine to say that the japanese people are such-and-such, unless such a stereotype is factually wrong.

I have been watching Fool Us for many years and I think this is the first time I cried. Your performance was so beautiful and elegant. The set in the background, your outfit, your calmness, the music, and your reaction at the end - everything was beautiful and perfect. So well deserved. I hope to see you perform in Japan one day!

All I can say is what a great performance, the second he cried I could feel how much this really meant to him & how big of a deal it was that all of his hard work has payed off. Congratulations, we’re all extremely proud of you man.

Fantastic. My favorite part was how genuine the reaction was when Penn said he fooled them. You could see the excitement, realization, and then tears of joy. Fantastic act. You deserved every bit of that trophy.

This was not magic, this was a work of Art. A Masterpiece. Thank you for this wonderful performance 🙏🏻

I said "ah, he twisted the glass" and then "ah, it's just a colour-change act" and then "wow" and then "wait, what? where did THOSE come from?" and then "how is this POSSIBLE?" and then I said nothing and watched the rest of this beautiful performance with pure, childlike wonder.

I suspect that Penn and Teller actually knew he didn't use those techniques, and that they called it out so the audience would know it wasn't that simple. That was why they took so many guesses and spoke without code was to give the chance of saying "if you think you know how he did this, then you don't" (which i definitely appreciated).

What a sincere amazing magician, when he started crying I had tears of my own. My friend you are going to go far please don’t ever lose that sincerity and humbleness. God bless you.

So beautiful and so wonderful that you fooled them. I think that you obviously made your own props for this act. And now I think you will get a lot more subscribers and notoriety! Congrats man.

I've been obsessed with the slow elegance of these types of performances for a while now. Truly beautiful. You can tell he was loving every second when the crowd reacted to him.

this is technical mastery of the highest order. That trophy was deserved and earned with thousands of hours of practice

I've been watching lots of Fool Us videos, and subsequently explainer videos. This is the first performance where I don't want to know how they did it. Purely magical.

The elegance and grace of the performance was only matched by Yukihiro's humble and heartfelt reaction at the end. A class act in every meaning of the word and a true gentleman of magic.

This was one of the most touching episodes on fool us . It brought tears to my eyes to see this young man exceed any expectations he had, it was a joy to watch him fool Penn & Teller, his routine reminded very much of Shin Lim, the most magical moment was he reaction after he realized that he was a fooler.

I always like it when a magic act manages pull off a cool trick while simotaniously being a great performance art

This just reminds me of one of the most powerful memories I have. When I was young I was entranced by the escapism magic featured on Breaking the Magician’s code, as even though he revealed the core of it, it was still just something that could be built off of, and I started trying then. Now, I was just doing simple card manipulation (but god damn when I first did a false shuffle and trick someone the look of wonder...) when a bully in my middle school basically took and ripped my cards and told me “magic isn’t real”. This hurt, I nearly stopped trying, but... I realised, just because magic is more deception than witchcraft, doesn’t mean it isn’t magical. Remember how that magician revealed all his tricks? He still performed them first, letting our minds race, jump to impossible conclusions, before revealing it was just an empty space underneath. But, just for that moment, everyone in the room is together in that wonderment that brings you right back to when you yourself still believed in magic. And that’s why magic is real. And will always be magical. As a side, Yukihiro’s reaction to fooling them was... moving. He was so humble about his skill, yet I bet he could give great SOH magicians like shin lim a run for his money. Keep it up Yukihiro, you’ve got a lifetime to keep being awesome.

This is my favorite video on the internet. The whole act you can feel his joy and dedication to this magic, and when he wins, that is most magical. I cried with you, Yuki! 🥰

Penn knows how to make people laugh.. and he knows how to make someone cry with tears of joy.. I salute you man!!!

The childishly SINCERE answer he gave holding the microphone so tightly in BOTH hands saying "No" when he was asked if he was using "Black Arts" was PRICELESS! That was SUCH a masterful routine that I loved every moment of... But what has stuck now to me forever shall be how he was at that moment and at the moment he actually realized they were going to give him the trophy. The routine was beautiful, but his this "finalé" was ever more beautiful. Thank you SO MUCH for these magical minutes Burakkuatsu o tsukatte iru ka to kika reta toki, chisana kodomo no yo ni "No" to kotaeru kare no sugata wa kichodatta! Totemo migotona rūtindatta.

I loved how he could barely contain his excitement throughout the routine, and the sincere response at the end. Brilliant.

That was so touching. A stunning performance, the happiness in his face when he talks with Alyson and to actually fool them must be a surreal moment for him.

My favorite fool us performance. Everything about it is so perfect and beautiful. Well deserved trophy.

I’ve seen a lot of manipulation and this is sincerely one of the more beautiful. It wasn’t just endless fans and back palms. You have turned card manipulation from magic to pure art. . I just loved it.

You were so amazing Yukihiro. I also loved the rising backdrop that elegantly matched the perfection of your manipulation!

This is extremely extremely fine art: beautifully executed, wonderfully presented, it's clean and neat in every aspect of it, it's magical and entertaining. Congratulations!

Bravo! The heartfelt emotion at the end was the icing on the cake. Can't wait to see more of your magic!

Thank you. This was a beautiful performance by a beautiful person

The reaction when you found out you fooled them is absolutely priceless. Great performance and couldn't be more happy for you. Can't wait to see you more in the future. Great job and Congratulations!

This is actually my favorite segment of any on this show. The most likeable guy with the best, most humble, sincerely human reaction, on top of the fact that I'm legitimately left scratching my head because how the hell was he able to keep pulling those new decks with no sleeves and seemingly without pulling his hands close enough to his body? And how the hell did the glass work without mirrors or perspective spin work? I'm still thinking on this one

I don't think I've ever seen such an emotional reaction to a fooler. Amazing performance.

You could see in his face every time the crowd oood, aaahhhd and cheered, it was like a boost of confidence and gratitude!

One The best card manipulation I've seen , and this magic style actually works on Penn and Teller everytime 😂 Good job Katayama I absolutely love your performance! 👏🏻

I lost it when he broke down. He was so happy. All I can say is that sometimes people do beautiful things for each other and I shall always love when I see a pure display of appreciation. BRAVO!!!

Perfect performance, and such a humble reaction. Truly deserved it.

Beautiful performance. So elegant. Congrats, Yuki. Midway through your performance I stopped trying to figure it out and just floated along enjoying the beauty of your movements and the awe of each color change.

Oh my god your performance was amazing. Like almost every move had a purpose so efficient, all the angles were PERFECT, made use of stage distance, not sure what prop that was I've never seen it before which makes it so unique, what a poetic ending that linked to the starting's lit match, your body posture and smile, timing and pacing were so lovely and comfortable to watch, the entire thing was absolutely ELEGANT and well polished I love this performance.

Not only was your performance beautiful and stunning, I could literally feel how much fooling them meant to you. I couldn't be happier for you, you deserve it.

This clearly meant so much to him. What a beautiful performance and a truly talented guy

This act was stunning in every way. I was really taken by his emotional reaction. I think (?) he is the first Japanese magician to bring back a Fool Us trophy and you could tell how much this meant to him. Beautiful.

When he started getting emotional, I started tearing up. Absolute sweetheart with a gorgeous performance.

I saw your beautiful magic, then I was amazed with your beautiful heart, you are so humble and that's what makes you a real master. You are a great artist. Thanks for inspire us with your magic

From NW Ohio, USA. I have never been so happy for someone to win the "Fool Us" trophy from Penn and Teller but congratulations sir! You did a wonderful job!

I watch a _lot_ of magic, and this is one of the best card routines I have ever seen in my life. You 100% deserved that trophy and thank you for giving us such a wonderful performance. I have absolutely no clue how you did it.

Absolutely one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen. When he broke into tears so did I. You could tell how much it meant to him.

Finally, an interesting card act! That was phenomenal!

As I have watched a lot of these shows, I have also watched how magic has evolved over the many seasons. This is just getting better and better. Magicians like you are just incredible and entertaining to watch. You have taken magic to a new level. I mean, other magicians use various forms of magic squares for instance, or cups and balls and even though we probably can't explain the whole trick, we know what is coming. You on the other hand, we have NO idea what is coming next. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see another performance from you in the future.

This is my favorite video from Penn and Teller. The music and moves make this a beautiful masterpiece. Thank you for creating this and sharing it with the world.

Although most people knew that its all about card manipulating and sleigh of hand, but he did it beautifully. He did it with all the charm, when he cried, it shows how much it means to him. His country is so proud of him. Congratulation

Such a beautiful and honest reaction to achieving one of your life's dreams, may we all experience that some day!! Bravo and Well Done Sir!!

My guesses, and I was pretty sure, were the same as Penn's. I was very surprised to find out none of them was correct. And I must say, the performance was amazing. He was very likable, and when he started crying so did I. You could just feel how much it meant to him.

We met in Shanghai Magic Festival, your act is great!!!

6:28 I feel like Penn really wanted to give him the trophy, and just played his role "I'm the rough one here". So sweet of him.

Wow, I'm amazed! This is art at its finest! I have always liked the Japanese magic, as you watch it makes you think magic as a form of art rather than deception and fooling. This performance is well executed and every time you watch it feels like something new. This can fool you because of you wanting not to know how it's done but rather enjoying watching it as a form of art and entertainment. This is elegent, beautiful, amazing and above all Japanese! Congratulations! And thanks Yukihiro for performing this for the world.

It was so fantastic and elegant, thank you! I loved the reaction of both his and the translatirs, it was sooo heart-warming!

I am a fan. You're very good with magic!!!!!

The act was absolutely beautiful. I am speecheless.

I can watch you all day!! I appreciate the amount of work & time you must put in to put together this beautiful routine.
