Penn doesn’t get enough credit for how brilliant of a speaker he is. This guy can talk nonstop for days and still command everyone’s attention in the room the entire time.

Very true. But at the same time, not enough credit to Teller, a true master at sleight of hand.

The total opposite of my coworker who talks non stop and drives everyone away from him!

Teller has spoken about the artistry and effect of not speaking during performances (besides the college story). His performances are beautiful and feel magical and dramatic without the speaking. And it adds a lot of fun to their act together that one of them doesn't speak. I think he wanted Penn to say a little more on the topic when he was answering the question, lol. Their act together is so good in general that even with "travel" props, they are such a delight to watch. Aluminum foil, plastic cups, a baseball, contacts, and a deck of cards.

I like this presentation, no extra trick at the end, just showing off some smooth sleight of hand

That’s what is beautiful about their comedy/magic presentation. They show the simple methods, thus daring magicians to come up with new variations. They are quite literally forcing innovation by revealing the basics publicly, and it’s working.

Are you serious? This is terrible sleight of hand, every move is super obvious. Unless you're too dumb to know what to look for.

Teller in a talk show is a classic.

3 of clubs is Penn's "force" card.

I wonder how much this interaction had to do with them getting together for Fool Us. I still miss Ross, he was my favorite host of that show. (No shade to the others - they're each good in their own way.)

this is why I need to see how a trick is done to actually be impressed, when I can't see where the switch happens, it's actually good

At the end of their career, as their final magic trick, they’re going to reveal that Penn was actually mute, and Teller was ventriloquizing him the whole time.

Teller speaks after the show. I talked to him once after they did a show in my area.

I might be wrong but isn’t the 3 of Clubs the one they always “force”?

Penn always forces the three of clubs. The only tricky bit was making Tom Jones pick it. All the rest was just for show. Probably even the force was straight forward for a good conjuror.

Every time P&T let the victim "pick" random card and it's 3 of clubs, I think it's just a hint to fans that "yes, this was a forced card, but let's see what happens now".

Watching it in slow motion does not help.

Weird that Teller never tells you anything, and Penn just talks and never writes

This is a very disappointing performance by Penn and Teller. It's so insanely obvious when they put balls in the cups it's almost laughable. Hands down their worst performance.

If it's 'insanely obvious' why not offer some evidence? Tell us the time in the video when the trick is done.

In 1977 I bought a sleight of hand book. A lot of it was really hard, as I was only 8 and my hands were really small. Not only that, Star Wars came out that year and hijacked the playtime of all children. I learned how to juggle quite easily, but card tricks (utilizing sleight of hand) were very difficult. I wasn't bad with coins. I am now 54, married, with two wonderful adult children and a lot of friends...all because I didn't pursue magic.
