What nobody is getting is that the gross-out factor is _part_ of the misdirection. An old master like Teller was probably in a (thinking 'that ain't a classy move for a magic act; he should leave that part out' and 'geez what's he going to do next, offer me the glass..?!') mood. Cognitively, it smothers the load.

Teller is too kind. He drank all milk just to act like a regular audience member, but I'm sure he knew the magician would spit out the milk. In fact I think he had Teller and Allison there because he thought he'd get Allison with the milk but not Teller, and then he'd get Teller with the cookie.

He fooled them by convincing them there was more to the trick than there is.

It was really effective misdirection. The actual trick of the cookie appearing was so unexpected and the moment the loading happens seems so natural and unrelated to anything. It's really quite brilliant. People rewatching this while looking for the loading will see it as the plain and simple action that it was and feel underwhelmed but the thing is, this is magic in its purest form. We all watched it happen plain as day and none of us caught it, even Penn and Teller. I will always be more impressed by magic like this than slick slight of hand or clever mechanical functions.

P&T talk about this a lot in tricks that end up fooling them is that there are tricks where they don't know what the effect is going to be and therefore they don't know what they are supposed to be looking for. Remember everything on stage has a purpose. The whole reason he did the human blockhead and the milk spit was to prime P&T to think of juggling and not magic so when he did a magic move it slipped right on by.

In hindsight simply placing the case on the floor and picking it up, setting it on the table, then opening it would have made a big difference.

The trick is that he tells them the game is over, so Teller pays less attention for a short moment. Also the trick is so absurd, that the way he did it would not even register to Teller as an attempt at a sleight, but simply doing what is a perfectly reasonable thing to do in such a situation, after having spat out milk. Teller totally saw him doing the sleight, it just didn't register at all.

Beautiful misdirection. Impressed that penn was Distracted for being far enough to see what he was doing with his hands and everything else he was doing

I was actually hoping he would spit it out, it would have made the kicker ending even more special. I have heard Teller has had several opportunities to “mess with” the performer and has made the choice not to because doing so may ruin the performance and that's not what the show is for. The producers said it this way... “Above all, ‘Fool Us’ was created as a celebration of magic.”

Yes, that's why the kicker ending is there.

I feel like he was truly surprised that they didn’t catch him. Great act!

Lol, when pen and teller watched this vid again, they probably hit each other for not seeing it, you have to watch it again to see everything...

Yeah I mean it was so obvious when he loaded the cookie. I don't know how they didn't see it.

Everyone saying the load was obvious, the trick was easy... That's the point of magic being in ROUTINES. Any trick, standalone, would have been even more obvious and totally absent of fun. But because the audience and assistants got caught up in the act, they were fooled by the performance, not by the trick itself, because it's not about the trick itself. Chris himself says his magic is fun and childish, which was his biggest hint. He hid the trick within play. The game of it is what fooled them. And if any part fools them, Penn and Teller consider it a Fool. Deceptively simply and simply deceptive - that's both the fun and the beauty of this act. Good show!

But it's not a good routine if you spot the trick as it's happening. The load came off like unpracticed. He cheated toward Teller and his mouth opened before he covered... If Teller didn't catch the flash, he must have been seeing something completely different.
