That's actually not impossible. I saw a version of this effect before involving a microphone, a confederate with a laptop, and a very small printer that was rigged up to print out a photograph directly into a wallet, which you'd then remove from your pocket, and hand to a spectator to open up and examine the photo. (In this case, a photo of that performance would have to be publicly available.) Truly amazing stuff if you set it up right, though that would never fool P&T because it would fall under "too perfect" (i.e. only one way it could possibly be done.)

My only critique of this performance was that Blaise created the expectation we would see a photo of Penn and Teller in performing in California. If he'd just asked, I'd like you to think of you're favourite state, outside of Nevada, then our expectations would have matched the reveal.

@vigilante8374

It's actually possible that is precisely what he was attempting to pull off, but his confederate sadly wasn't able to locate a photo of that performance, so he had to switch to a simpler trick. Hence what Penn said about "multiple outs". (This is pure speculation though; that could be referring to a number of things.) *If* that is what happened, that's a huge bummer. It wouldn't have fooled P&T ("too perfect") but it would've looked absolutely incredible for the audience.

Keep in mind: this is a TV *show* ! Alison talks a while with the magician and the producers just pick a few sentences into the show. Penn & Tell have some time to figure it out, then they describe their idea to the producers so that the producers know if they got it or not, and only after that, the "code talk" is done. I don't say it isn't impressive, just that they have a lot more time to come up with the solution and the respective "code" than the show might imply.

It's a pity that the only thing one wonders is, given that the cards are laid out on the table, where are the states? And the end result does not impress somehow. The card trick is neat but drowns in words. Something fresh is needed. I guess the whole genre is being photoshopped out of existence now that we have real magic in our pockets.

Penn & Teller are gentlemen. Really respectful, even when they know how the trick is done they show respect for their colleagues and their profession. Good for them.

"shim", "index", "magnetic shim", "multiple outs". I love Penn's way of tying the terms of the method into his monologue. Did I miss any? The tennis one went over my head, I think.

5:55 actually the queen was not on the photo, but placed on the photo which I believe happens when he turned around against penn and teller. And other than hiding the card when he showed it in 5:08, he is making sure that the card stuck well by pressing it hard. Well, it's just a wild guess, I could be wrong.

The effect was well conceived and a crowd pleasure for sure. The only criticism I have if any is the patter seemed a little long. Maybe just tighten up the time a bit.
