Garrett, you're the most humble and genuinely 'real' magician I've ever discovered. Penn and Teller definitely recognized that. People will try to figure out the answer, but your raw skill makes up for anyones comments! You earned my sub :)

Garrett Thomas is a beast man!!! His imagination coins is simply the most powerful piece of magic I have ever seen. Hopefully we get to see you often here on KZread😀

Nice

I'm super excited to see you perform on Penn & teller. I know whatever you do will be great man.

I loved your analyse about the existence of Fool Us. Yes it's surely a huge platform for the magic world and their entertainers, but it's also a massive, huge magic moment displayed so kindly for laymen and magic lovers. Thanks to be part of the art of magic. You fooled me that's for sure. Hope you'll be back for the best ever magic show.

Brother! The ring performance and 4 coin performance were among the best I have ever seen. You have me hooked. Thank you! Btw, now going to watch all your videos.

Garrett, we went to DHS together wayyyyy back in the day. Good to see you’ve been doing big things with this. I remember you busting out magic tricks during chorus practice

Oh man! This is sofa king cool! You are one of my top favorite magcians of recent times because your articulation of magical ideas/concepts/theory are almost psychedelic in a way? Like the bit about "Time" in Opus trailer. Also just amazingly smooth magic workings. You got this dude!!!

Can't spell GoaT without GT!!!

Can’t wait to see it! Congratulations bud!

I never thought of it that way, but you're right-- Penn and Teller are using their unequaled status in the magic community to give a platform for other magicians to grab just a little bit of the spotlight. In doing so, it's really pushing the envelope with magic! How many unique Fool Us acts have inspired other magicians to craft different tricks? How many people have been inspired to get into magic because of the show? (me) They've essentially created an engine that just makes the magic world thrive that much more. And if I'm being honest, they always look like they absolutely enjoy the heck out of it 💞

Just saw your performance, fantastic job😊😊🤜🤛👍👍👍👍

I'm really a fan of yours, I think your magic is one of a kind because you dive so deep into it. The fact that you prefer close up magic in real life (maybe I'm wrong but seems like you prefer) is a thing that I truly agree with because the experience is way different, the closer you come to the people and get personal with them, the stronger and unbelievable the magic will be. Magic isn't only about fooling people, it's about getting them amazed and sharing a moment or an emotion and you fool them in order to create this emotion. I'm really hyped for your show on fool us Wish you the best from France Aymeric

If my job is to twist reality, at the very least I should begin with reality, I truly would rather pull the ring through everybody’s finger so they could feel that tactile illusion, it is so cool.

You were so amazing on Fool Us

Hey Garrett just saw you for the first time via your P&T performance and I just had to come say hi and wow what moves. I only know a few basic card sleights and some controls but they're enough to do a few nice tricks and I do love using them to make peeps smile and wonder at them. If I have no other way of making a new friend, I'll always have a one-on-one card trick to make a new bond. Closeup magic is the best. There are some masters out there, and imho you're among them. I'll be watching more vids of you. Bless you for being one of us who draws pleasure from the smiles of others.

Really enjoyed your performance on FU! Thank you!

I can't wait!

This is going to be great!

That was awesome!

Loved your performance on FU. Love your thoughts on why you did the show. P&T got me into magic. Without them I would never gotten to know your work on OPUS. Everything is connected. For whatever that means. But it doesn‘t sound hurtful 😜

Man I can't wait....🙌✨

This is going to be the greatest fool us appearance to date. I can feel it. Cannot wait.

Congrads on all fronts!!! I don`t know if you would remember me...I had the pleasure of meeting you sevral times in my youth. (When I was about 14 years old) We met at a magic convention in Buffalo. Then Just cuz you are the amazing guy that you are...you drove all the way up to my house in Hamiltion to have dinner with my family. You blew my mind then (taking a big coin out of a small purse)....and you blow my mind now. You have always been my favorite magician and I have never forgotten you or your name. Congrads on going up on the big stage. For what its worth, I live in Japan now....if you ever wanna take the trip to have dinner with my family agian we got an extra bed and our door is always open!

Great job. Just watched it!

More Garrett Thomas!

My hats off to you sir. That was a great performance, having done something very similar years ago with key rings and a homemade prop (I was performing "mini" linking rings) I did almost the exact same thing you accomplished with Teller. I have to say though your performance and sleights were way WAY better than mine Looked like some killer coin techniques influenced some of it. Simply brilliant! You have really inspired me to start creating and performing again! OH quick edit where did you get that ring man, and how can I get one of them bad boys?!

Standdd up monte!!!

How did you do that trick?? (I saw the vid trick)

Comment about this being a lie because of a gimmicked ring is hereby retracted, due to updated info on how it was done. In magic terminology, there is a vast difference between something being gimmicked with tricky openings and such and using a gimmick (an object without such fanciness). Night and day. He looks stunned because Penn didn't guess correctly and he figured he would. Garrett was asked to make that call on camera, and he did his best to make the right call based on what Penn guessed. The only thing you are seeing on camera is a solid metal ring and a side that's facing you. This effect involves half of what you think is involved and a whole lotta sleight of hand. He deserved the trophy 🏆

Come to J&B as soon as possible please!!

That performance on Fool Us...simply glorious.

@Rhayne Lyte I wasn’t pushing the issue, Mike Close is the judge behind the judges, and Penn said that the ring that Teller was holding Was so cleverly made that it passed inspection. But the ring that Teller held was 100% normal. Of course remember that there were 20 minutes of me up on stage performing they edit it down to about six minutes, there was a lot more said and things discussed other phases, Teller comedically examining both my hands the ring and my body, all were removed in editing to make the show better. So basically you’re seeing a highlight reel of what occurred in the competition.

I hope you guys realize that he pulled off a trick that is not physically possible unless it’s a gimmick ring and penn and teller knew he was lying when he said it was not gimmick now not saying he is a bad magician because that not true but that performance was a lie

Is been a magician your career or a hobby?

"The ring" is an ordinary, solid ring, but you're not using the ring for the "impossible" tricks. You're using gimmicks: things that are made to look like "the ring", but in fact are not. The trick is therefore that you're using sleight of hand to swap "the ring" for the gimmicks, without them catching you swapping them. If my guess is correct, you did fool them (according to their rules). They might have know that you used sleight of hand to swap "the ring" for the gimmicks, but they could not tell you how you did it, because they never saw it. Based on their observations, the most plausible explanation was that "the ring" itself was an extraordinary ring. Very impressive!

One day when our paths cross ask for my signature, and you’ll have a great story.

He used a solid ring and a half ring. Used half ring on teller. Ditched half ring in coat. The rest is slight of hand. The whole thing is technically slight of hand. Great trick and amazing effect.

dude you shouldnt have contacted irehman7. wrong move you couldve left people thinking that the ring comes apart. now they will all know that your using half of a ring that looks like the real one... its like giving away your secret to that ring trick... very wrong move dude... 😢

So the idea of a ring being removed from a finger that is being held at the tip without being separated is impossible, only if the ring can open up somehow. There is a video of the Teller part and there is a gap in the ring. The producers won't come out right then and there to refute the call. They wouldn't want to do that to him, even if he is a liar.

TheMicJoe This video you speak of....go look at it again and zoom your eyes in better, the part you think is a gap is a reflection. Garrett is a great human being, I wish people would stop with calling him a liar, you were not there during the taping of the show, he was asked if the ring was gimmick ed... and the answer is NO! That is like asking Shin Lim, Did you use a gimmick? Yes, then you didn't fool us. Unfair to be saying anything more about it. He got a trophy and the judges allowed it, enough said.

Why don't you show the world you didn't lie, with a ring from the public? Y did you bring your own ring, instead you may ask from the audience? Or maybe Penn and Teller's show is scripted and staged.

That ring does have a gimmick.
