Penn and Teller just showed us how much class they have! Great ending!

Agreed. They always give props, whether fooled or not, and take a magicians word if he/she says "that's not how I did it," and here they followed up. They truly appreciate the art.

Yeah that integrity.
I've been fortunate enough to know Ben since middle school. In every theater arts tournament and Latin competition, Ben would do make shift magic performances for all of us. He's one of the most genuine, incredible people I know. I took my wife to see him at the standing show he has in Houston, It was one of the best performances I've ever seen, we've been rooting for him a long time. Congratulations on your success, it is very well earned! Magistra Miller would be proud.

It's amazing how smart some people are. They are just born that way. Some are physical athletes, and some mental. This guy seems like a smart dude.

"Just born that way" may sound nice, but it can take away all the studying, practicing, and strategizing a person has done to get to where they are now.

@@VicInCommentSection you're missing the point. A 5 ft 4 guy will never become a NBA star. He's just born that way. A 7 ft guy athletic guy has huge potential to become one. My point is that this guy was born to be a star. Luckily for him, he followed his abilities and talent instead of wasting it.

@@boreduser12 There are several 5'x" NBA stars that would like to have a word with you. Never mind the sheer multitude of 7' tall people that can't move well enough to play basketball. A grand total of thirty 7'x" tall people have been NBA players. No one is born to be a star... people only attain that after years of hard work and dedication.

Not just respect to P&T for recognizing they were fooled, but also major props to to you for taking the first (alleged) loss as a true gentleman even though you weren't 100% sure they knew your method. Also, amazing trick and presentation. World class stuff, nicely done!

Yeah, class to defer to the hosts. Glad he got that trophy
A very rare retraction by Penn & Teller! Congrats Ben! It happens but I know the producers confer with them about what they thought it was and what it was. I think (to my knowledge) this is the 4th time this has happened! Congrats for doubly fooling them!

Many watch Penn and Teller for the tricks, some for the comedy...but most for the class. Who would expect that a pair of illusionists would be so honest, even to the point of admitting they were wrong? Well Done, Mr Jackson.
Ben, what a WONDERFUL voice and presentation style you have! Your energy is confident but not cheesy, clear but not condescending, and fun without being frivolous! I'm SO impressed!

Yeah really polished, and I think a wonderful and magical trick
What makes this trick so amazing is the many layers of deception used to hide the method from the crowd. This makes me love PENN and TELLER even more.
Thank you for not spoiling the ending in the title! Also, super cool of P&T to go back and make up for their mistake. Super cool routine. I was blown away.

Class from Ben for not debating the masters on stage, and props to the masters for making sure they got the right call in the end.
Really, really unexpected finale. I thought they'd get it cause it wouldn't be the first time they weren't expecting a box. Sleighdini might come to mind for this one, but something tells me this is a lot more new and fresh. The performance itself was perfectly executed. Surgical even. Patter was clear, cut, you had 0 empty words, even when you were buying time you did it without skipping a beat. Marvelous routine, perfectly executed, and I don't think anyone expected the finale. Marvelous!
I was so disappointed when you didn’t get the trophy, so imagine my surprise when you did! Congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉
This is probably the best trick I've seen this season.

That Korean guy with his card trick... that shit was awesome! But Ben's is pretty fucking cool too!
Man, the patter and presentation is as smooth as silk. When I think of a good magician this guy is the type of magician I think of. Quick, intelligent and eloquent. And all this is without the trick which had me 100% fooled. Great things await this guy.
Truly beautiful - thanks for sharing this! Mesmerizing work,.
I had a feeling when they said you didn't fool them that you were quite sure you did but basically had to take the high road. Good for you.... On ALL that! Wishing you continued success... Seriously though, being a doctor, museum director and all that... Having that trophy must be the coolest feeling of them all. Congrats!
Yes!!!! So cool Ben! Congrats! He’s been working this gift of his since we were kids. Happy for you man!
Hey the etymology of the word clue is true! That's amazing! That's great, it was a bit obvious you weren't convinced at the end but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I guess they picked up on that too, so wanted to make sure and asked you about it. This is why I love this show. An entire series about "fooling" is ironically the most honest show on TV.
HOLY MOLY!!!!! It was not only a great trick, but also an exceptional presentation!! So smooth and inspiring.
Great routine, greak tricks, fantastic script and amazing presentation. I am stunned by many performances on Fool Us, this was one of the moste enjoyable ones by far.
Well done! Its cool to see Penn & Teller being honest and reward you the trophy.
Amazing. Great Job. Mind blowing
Unbelievable! Well done Ben! Rooting for you good sir! So happy to see you getting noticed. I can’t imagine how much work goes into making everything so seamless.
Next level stuff! So glad you got the trophy!
Congratulations! Very entertaining! Beautiful routine!Loved every minute of it!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow! Astonishing, mind-blowing! Congratulations!
At the 2013 TEDx in Houston, Ben offered this thought in his keynote... "The secret of a great trick isn't the method. The method behind the magic often times is unattractive and disappointing. The real artistry in magic, the beauty in magic, lies in the artistry behind the scenes." Ben Jackson really does have that artistry. Watching him up close is simply amazing. Congratulations on being awarded 'You Fooled Us'! To Penn and Teller, thank you for your level of support of the art and craft of illusion, and your high integrity as demonstrated in this episode. Thank you Ben for keeping me amazed! You make it look so effortless.
The absolute brilliance of this show is the fact that Penn and Teller can just sit comfortably waiting and remembering all of the magic tricks from around the world that they see. They are building the ultimate war chest of the best tricks.
This was just amazing!! I sincerely applaud your dedication to your craft and your presentation was beyond perfect. Well deserved!!
Beautiful. And a tough crowd for him at the start! Go Ben!
That’s awesome! Gives the show integrity when they do that.
It just shows that even masters of the craft can be wrong. Amazing stage presentation too. Absolutely loved it. ❤
You fooled them, and you fooled me! Really classy act. And this clip really highlights the excellent showmanship AND sportsmanship of this show, everyone behaving with such grace. Ben, the boys, the whole lot. Bravo!
Best performance I have seen on Pen and Teller and best patter so enjoyable.
This show is not the same without Alyson.
Great presentation Ben
Awesome job, Ben! Great performance
The best of the best admiting they were wrong. I know some politicians who would learn a lesson from this video. Admiting you were wrong dont bring down your value. It shows the world your integrity which is truly in need right now.
Heck yeah, Ben! So happy for you. I watch a fair amount of Fool Us, and I was able to keep up for awhile. The ending of your trick was definitely a twist for me.
Seeing something like that makes me feel the way I felt when I first saw Penn do the "Is THAT your card?!" trick where he plunges a knife through his hand. I was absolutely flabbergasted! I like feeling like I'm seeing genuine magic and this made me feel that way! Thank you!
Beautiful performance.
Congratulations ! You deserve it !
oh this is beautiful! absolutely love this!
Congratulations! I almost turned this off when you said you didn't fool them but I'm so glad I didn't!
Congrats Ben! What a rollercoaster that must have been.
Respect for Penn & Teller! And congrats, Ben!
Amazing routine! You crushed it
Beautiful presentation. Wonderful ending. 🎉
your act was awesome man! really! 👍

You have good interaction with your banter...great job ...keep it up
Great magic Ben, great stage presence, so glad you fooled them!
Great job brother!!!! Bill
What a great presentation. You definitely put lots of thought into the story you presented, and it definitely gave the illusion and extra layer of "wow." Beautifully done. Congratulations!
well done man. Congrats!
Very eloquent. Very crisp performance.
Wow, first of a kind! Congrats!
Great story and performance, it is a real magic!

Priceless!
Great trick with a great outcome! Bravo!
The jar part was a great ending to an entertaining set. Congrats!
Fantastic patter 🙌
Its very good to know they check their hypotesis. Serious commitment for serious magic.
Fooled me lol….well done, thoroughly entertaining Sir!
Brilliant 😮🎉
That was incredible.
Excellent
this was one of those moments where I was in awe of the trick and as much as I love Penn & Teller, I so hope they don't how it's done. Two big wins here, Ben - that seemed utterly impossible & Penn & Teller - magic with integrity, pure class
P&T just performed a great show of ethics, honesty and class with Ben. Respect and applause to all three men here.
Priceless.
That was terrific.. Fun!
Outstanding
I loved this! I was surprised that P&T "figured it out" but was very happy to see that they corrected their mistake and gave you the trophy that you definitely earned. Great routine and I hope to see a lot more.
dude what an incredeble performance! your character is as well amazing :)
Great act!!
I was astonished when they said they weren't fooled; it was an amazing, AMAZING sequence. Jaw-dropping, more than once. Kudos to you, Ben, and to P&T for their integrity in coming back to correct their error.
Just have to say what an extraordinary trick. And congratulations.
Sooo love them move that they still gave it to him even after finding out they were wrong sooo kool
What a wonderful routine & the ball of yarn in the glass jar baffled me. I look forward to watching more of your performances. ps) congrats on the win!!
That was really good.
Congratulations my fellow Texan 🤩🤩🤩🤩
From a fellow Houstonian - that was a BEAUTIFUL performance!! I gotta get back to HMNS to see you in action!
