This is a masterclass in sleight of hand. The sheer artistry pulled off by Penn and Teller is nothing short of amazing. How Penn is able to keep your (and evidently Conan's) full attention while Teller performs some of the most incredible and slick sleights is mind blowing. I was able to meet them in 2015 after a show in Canada. They are the nicest, most inviting performers. Such a thrill watching them on stage. The way these two play off of each other and their chemistry, every show, easily explains why they are still so well renowned to this day.

@PerceptionOverload

Penn and Teller are some of the best illusionists of our time. The dynamic of the talkative and silent one is what allows them to maximise each other's strengths and play off of each other so well. While Penn is an amazing sleight of hands artist, Teller is the true master at it and while Teller is quite funny when he talks ( which is admitedly very rarely) Penn is a master of misdirection and he uses his larger than life physique and personna to distract the audience while Teller performs the tricks. There's a reason why they've had such long and illustrious careers to the point where they often break rules of magic just to show off their skills and still are able to not only impress, but also still surprise and trick their audience. I talked with them 20ish years ago on a trip to Vegas and just like you said, they are incredible people.

Parent is correct that it is a classic example of misdirection, as is the juggling of the grapefruit a moment later. The signed blade is in Tellers' hand. It needs to be so that he can load it into the grapefruit with that first stab of the knife. Conan does not need to be shown that it is "OK to squeeze", because...of course it is. It's a magic trick. Slicing a talkshow host is a bad move professionally for magicians.

Penn, Teller, and Conan are just wonderful together. They just allow each other to shine.

The trick was done well. Using razors throws the people off with the "danger" element as a distraction psychologically and plus the are very responsive to magnets. Shaving cream was also whimsical as a humorous antidote that keeps the crowd happy and easy. Genius...

@@MartinDolan Exactly. There are two very very very very very slightly unnatural movements of Teller. In the beginning he's holding the can too far over the hand for spraying. That's when he uses the magnet to pick the blade. After spraying he puts the can into his left hand, grabs the blade with his right hand and puts it into his jacket. But even if you know how the trick works after watching it half a dozen times, it's great, creative and artistic. The illusion works, and it is even more impressive when you see how nearly seamless the manipulation fits into the natural movement of the hands.

4:31 - Probably a magnet on Teller's Creme bottle, just strong enough to lift the blade off of Conan's Hand. Then you can see the subtle finger movements of Teller's right hand moving the blade towards his palm.

I was SO expecting them to bust out the fake blood on this one, hahaha.

For those wondering how he got the blade out, the can is magnetic. If you notice teller passes the can over the blade before he starts spraying it. Then watch his hand and the can. After which he loads the blade and when he turns over the grapefruit he's rolling it back to insert the blade into it moments before he cuts it open.

On a boardwalk in NJ I saw a street magician produce a tightly rolled 20 that was signed in this manner from an orange he cut into and to this day I think it was the most incredible trick I've ever seen in person
