I love how it's not just a trick, it's a trick that has MANY potential points where the cards could be manipulated, switched, removed, added, etc. It heightens our awareness and makes us supposedly wise to what's going on. And for us to STILL miss when the actual switch happens, it's fantastic. So much fun!

Alain, you're missing the other hints. "At the end, you had a change" and "You absolutely held it, the guts..." are the giveaway. He checked the cut card when showing hers, so he could palm out her card during the shuffle (thanks to the "in decks"). Hold it at the belly (notice the jacket "adjustments"), and then use a change for the reveal. No force, real choices from both.

I don't remember any details after all these years, but I remember how the deck was "tricked," and I can tell you your trick deck is a slight upgrade from his. I also picked up some clues from your hiding a part of a card. I believe I could recreate this deck of cards, but I could never master using them. I could "get them to work," but it would be clumsy and obvious. All in all, a very nice performance. Congratulations on a job well done.

Ok, we all understood what Penn's "sleight of foot" meant. The packet needed to be unique & easily recognisable in that snowstorm. The sequence of the cards was known & unchanged until the cut & riffle (precise interleaving, not shuffle). The sequence is still known. To get an accurate cut in the middle, use slightly tapered cards with both halves oriented opposite. The full deck of 52 (I counted them) was in open view before Nicholas chose his number. Question: How did Nicholas "know" it was card 41?

Dunno much about magic techniques, but my guess was that there were three moves. First, I think he managed to peek at her card somehow. Second, I think he contrived to sneak it out of the deck and hide it. Third, once the 41st card was isolated and sitting face-down on the table, I think he secretly switched the hidden card with the 41st one.

@tommasopatrini1657

@@dnwiebe no, good try but no. You can see, when he shows the selected card to the girl, only a corner of that card is full visible. Later, when he spreads the deck saying all the cards are diffferent, he shows only that corners of the cards. And when he reveals the 41st card to be the selected one, he covers that corner of the card with his fingers (in an unnatural way, if you pay attention to that). So its easy to understand that he has a deck of cards full of 3 of hearts, but every 3of hearts has a corner of a different card, so when he spreads through the deck it seems that all the cards are different.

Think I know how it was done, word play is just as important as sleight of hand. Penn & Teller point out the deck of cards he used came from him so he knows the order beforehand. After the girl picks a card he splits it so that card is number 41. he then tells the man your choice won't be "1 before or 1 after" he also reiterates its a 52 card deck. In the man's head are all the numbers he said. 52, 1, 1. When he had to pick a card his mind quickly went 52 - 1,1 so 52-11 which is 41.

Very very fair. May the magic stay with Brent Braun!

how I think it was done: Obviously at the beginning, the sleight of foot. He also walked around a tiny bit to guarantee he was close enough to his deck. After that, a pretty standard card force. The main thing about this specific desk is that most of the cards are the 3 of hearts (this could help with the forcing). One of the corners says 3 of hearts and the others say their actual value in a standard deck. If a number was chosen that would hit a non-3-of-hearts, start from the other direction. The 20, 41, and 5 or 6 (I don't remember and I can't watch the video while leaving a comment on mobile) were probably pushed up or down or marked in some way so that he'd know a safe card to show to the camera. while showing the cards to the lady on the left, he only showed the corners while picking up cards from the table, he looked at them first, then held it by the corner that had the 3 of hearts to conceal it

If you watch the card selection "drop process" you can see the last card to fall is an 8 of spades, and the next card to fall would've been a 6 of diamonds. Neither of these were the card she was shown to memorize (the 3 of hearts). It was a forced pick that was held by him yeah. All the talk of taking his time counting and how he would hope for a 6 or 7 - it's because counting out say... 50 cards and only have 1 left over at the end is suspicious because theres 52 cards, but counting out 6 and only having 45 left as opposed to 46 is much less noticeable. That's what the cards "being stuck together" around 12 was about, to disrupt the counting and he could double count something. Secret in the decks, he planted a deck missing the 3 of hearts close to his foot for the trick

to be honest brent, no bullshit, as soon as they threw the cards up on the stage i immediately went back twice, once to look at your hands to see if you dropped anything and then i looked to see if you kicked anything out from your pant leg by your shoe. i could see the slightest little twitch from your knee down. and then continued to watch the trick. i figured it came from your leg. but as i'm watching i was captivated, i will admit. i know how you got your deck but i sure as hell don't know how you got nick to name karen's card. that being said, i thought your performance was one of the better one's i seen. *note: i am not a magician- i just love watching the stuff. good job my man.

Mike Rubin I’m not sure what you mean. There is no sleight here. I clearly show her the top card of the bottom packet exactly where she said stop. 🤔

I've learned to watch for awkward hands. When hands look awkward there is shenanigans afoot. (whoops, no pun intended). I really enjoy trying to figure out the tricks!

Fooled me. Figured out the sleight of foot, but couldn't figure out the rest. Well done.

GUYS I FIGURED THIS TRICK OUT!!! ok guys, so i think this one is actual magic and that this guy is a wizard. pen and teller had no idea, they bluffed and then the wizard (not wanting to be found out) admitted it was a trick. it's the only scientific and logical conclusion i can think of.

What a great act. I think there are a few key things that make this work, one of which I'm really confident about, am really confident when it happens, can see the opportunity, but for the life of me cannot see it actually happen. Wow. The other part(s) I'm still working on, and think if I stick with it and rewatch a few hundred more times, I'll get it. Penn is such a clever guy with his code. A gift to the craft!

Listen again. You might Change your mind. The producers tell Penn and Teller if their "side conversation" and their "spiel" to the magician prove they understood the deception. They absolutely knew how the trick was done; they likely didn't see the actual move, but I heard the answer in their reply - the footsie part wasn't the important catch.

Taking a wild guess. Deck falls out of his pants while decks are being thrown at his head. He grabs the manipulated deck and riffle forces the three of hearts. He then either does a fake riffle shuffle or a perfect rifle shuffleto align the cards just the way he wants. The cards are exactly where he wants them. The man then picks a number. While counting the "stuck together" card isn't an accident. It allows him to manipulate odd or even. Every other card is the three of hearts in that deck. He knows the count so when he's pulling examples out he knows the different cards. When he shows the whole deck I'm not quite sure but I assume he does some sort of switch. Hard to say. Even if this isn't how he does the trick I feel like it could be done this way maybe I'm wrong. :) Fun act to watch though

Damn so he just gave away what they saw in the title? Mad props to the guy.

2:36 Im guessing he forced the card because if you watch, the card he held up for her to memorize was neither the last one to fall, nor the one that would've been about to fall and at 3:34 there's only 51 cards on the table.. looks like when he got to 12 and said they were "stuck" he moved two around a little bit so that when he got to say... 41 they wouldnt be like "there's only 10 cards" rather than seeing 11 cards after it

Aaaaaagh got the answer to the trick and it's so.. something you can miss! Something I did miss for days. I do think it's worth figuring out magic tricks because it's also kind of a life skill, to become more attentive to important details. Chess does that, but these magic tricks are also a fantastic way to test how thorough you really are in your observations. I won't spoil it for others, only to say that to find answers like this you must be able to state to yourself the observations you've made in the most complete way possible, and only then do your natural assumptions not negate the real answer. Great illusion!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching . . .

I was foolish. I thought the trick was fun. One of the better presentations. We know all magic is either a trick or some extreme skill, like the guy who could count the cards and snatch the right one out of the air, so it's the presentation that makes the real entertainment.
