The best sponge ball routine I’ve ever seen but I can’t get over the fact that he looks and sounds like Adam Sandler playing a part.

@Chris Mullins unfortunately he really wasn’t that good. Go to about 4:57 and watch his left hand. He did this “move” a number of times and was obvious.

If you slow down the video at 0.25x speed, you can see that time is like a sponge. You get absorbed into watching the trick.

One of the best routine I've seen on Fool Us or just in general. No convoluted tricks, no constant misdirection with useless props and jokes, just a simple trick well presented that feels like real magic. I loved it.

Because it is real magic aka witchcraft. "useless props and jokes" what a lovely appreciative attitude you have towards the art of illusionism and showmanship and all the work that goes into it.

the routine is awesome. the script and the effect is nowhere else to be seen. but... teller was 73 years when this was filmed.. and watching at his face, even taking into account all he knows about magic, but seeing his face, being able to be surprised once again... priceless. gabriel, you're one of a kind

I love teller's reaction everytime he got fooled 😂

What I like about the Fool Us trophy is that it actually means something, they don't give them out to just anyone, P & T are an excellent pair of judges as they are extremely experienced. It's a good competition. I'm so glad this close up magic is making a comeback, for so long the big grand magic was popular but there is nothing to magic that uses stooges and camera tricks.

Exceptions prove the rule. Why did Penn reassure viewers that he had asked the producers if they had "made adjustments" there? Because producers make adjustments from time to time and you can find several such "adjustments" in FU !!! In this case, there were no "adjustments", because shellfishers with sponges are very good even on the street when they rob. :)

That wasn’t just good. Deliberately using a technique they would know, then doing the same effect twice more with 2 new methods, astonishingly good

Like countless magicians, I performed a sponge ball routine for decades. BUT... NOT anything like this ! This was a thing of beauty and as close to real magic you will see. Just a beautiful routine !

I bought many Sponge Balls but never actually did them in the show. got me how he did half these moves

when i heard he said sponge balls, in my mind, i thought, "oh that's a very bad choice!" but i was so wrong! This routine is on an entirely different level. you gave life to the sponge balls again!

I definitely saw some of the transfer moves from under the table or below the table, where we couldn't see. But, even so, the routine is difficult to figure out and it is genuinely amazing at times. Even if you see one of those moves I can't explain most of the routine at all. Its very good.

One of the best presentations I've seen. Spongeballs routine explained with the concept of time is just great.

great routine. love that the storytelling was not as constructed as it often is, but simple and beautiful

Excellent job, congrats on the win! Great routine, especially when the sponge balls change color and size at the end.

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ROUTINE! Sponge balls are so accessible for beginning magicians, to the point that I feel they are so under appreciated. I had no idea they could be this amazing, though! The script and the effects and the magic are all so well in sync. The way everything is connected from moment to moment and forwards and backwards is so masterfully crafted. I LOVE this routine. Bravo!

The best sponge magic i have ever seen

I saw a couple moves and loads coming from the table. That being said, the mystifying and purely magical presentation of seemingly conjuring balls out of nowhere far exceeded anything I was able to catch. This was one of my favorite routines for sure.

I wasn't fooled. I knew I couldn't figure it out.

Too good. What a routine! What a performance! And what a look on Teller's face throughout the act. Well done!

That was Outstanding!

I will never forget what deja vu is from now on

If I learned anything from this routine, it's that time is like a sponge

I saw a lot of the moves. No biggie. But then it kept getting a little more complex to the point I couldn't keep up. I, too, hate sponge ball tricks....but I liked this one.

Fantastic routine!

Absolutely LOVED this! This is the exact reason we love magic. Sometimes our jaw just drops!

At the minute 6:22 Teller is telling Penn...Outstanding that's how much they loved the routine. And so did I... i loved it.

Just perfectly executed! I also have no idea how you do it.. nor do I care!

That was hands down the best sponge ball routine I have ever seen. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 👏

Esto me pone muy contento! Amo las esponjitas y llevo poco tiempo en la magia. Me alegro que un compatriota haya triunfado en Fool Us y con esponjas además, felicidades!

Felicidades Gabriel, un orgullo para los chilenos y porteños especialmente !!!!!!!!!!

So greeeat, best magic trick with sponge balls I have ever seen :D

Fabulous indeed and so much satisfying to assist! Great act, you deserve the trophy 🏆

Oh my word utterly love this clip. Fantastic magic. Love.

impresionante!!!!!!

It always gladness my heart when they admit to being fooled and it brings great joy to discover that being fooled frustrates them so much that they have been known to go back stage and demand to know how some of the tricks are done

Amazing performance!!!!

that was so wonderful! I loved every minute of it =D I am very happy for you. AMAZING job!

I don’t get why you think it’s special - guy is palming balls in primarily his left hand the whole time reaching under the table and grabbing more - he times him turning the palm of his hand towards the camera when his hand is empty and then loads up and doesn’t show until it’s empty again

The dexterity required of these guys should make them considered athletes.

Bravo!!!

Beautiful story line too. Let's not forget that is a huge part of your presentation.

Looks simple, but it is one of the craziest magic I ever saw!!! And a big like to the DÉJÀ BLUE...👍

He made me smile so hard. I loved this.

Great job!! This made me talk out loud to no one in the room.

Yeah, like Penn, I myself hated his hair, but his magic and spongeballs were *wonderful* . Kudos (awards to you) 👍😂😎

Great routine man, I bow to you.

Just stunning!

Love your attitude in the intro bio, Gabriel! And such an amazing illusion!

Gabriel! Felicitaciones que buen performance!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Pure magic!!

Genial!!! Muy merecido!!!

Good magic - and that's definitely a unique hairstyle!

and with that, Penn hates Spongeballs even more

This is the second time they got fooled by spongeballs! Good stuff.

Absolutely incredible routine!!

'Cause I'm a chilean boy, and I've been tryin' to fool them.. Oh I'm a chilean boy Ay, I'mma just chilean boy, I'mma just chileand boy

"cuando marcho hacia mi casa, siempre somos tres". Beautiful hommage to one of the most moving routines of René Lavand. It's really moving to see it inside yours at Fool Us, as it is all your presentation. Felicitaciones desde Argentina!

I love seeing these technically incredible tricks, the magicians like yourself that are developing new techniques are always the best.

that was awesome

It's too bad Penn spent so much time talking about the sponge balls, I'm sure he was impressed by the great story that Gabriel tells in this act, very poetic and wonderful!

A lot of nice effects. Would love to see more of this mixing-color-effects like green is made of yellow and blue. You could make a whole story just around that.

that was absolutely amazing.

Tremendo Gabriel, felicidades 🙌

Naaaaah, maestro!! Había visto una pequeña parte hace un tiempo en Estafa, pero esta vez me fui de raja XD.

Great job homie 👍

Perfecto!

Great performance! In the end, I was waiting for you to say "Scrappy Coco". Amazing talent man!

Teller was visibly amazed.. I think that acts like this are why Penn and Teller do this show. They still like to be amazed and this way they actually get to be amazed more than they normally would.

Honestly, I saw some stuff you did. I did not want to see it but I did. But that was so little of the whole act. Awesome performance!

What a wonderful routine. Congratulations!

👏👏👏 Beautiful work.

Great job man, congrats!

So beautiful and enjoyable to watch and be amazed! Just wonderful!

Gabriel Gascon! Thank You for your fantastic magic! We love this performance :)

That thing on his head is actually an alien technology antenna that can teleport the balls around.

Brilliant!

As soon as I saw the different colors of sponge balls I knew this was going to be good.
