    I agree. I also think he already knew what it would be. I mean, come on. What has Teller been known for? His non-verbal participation. So, you ask him to put down his favorite right from the constitution... it's going to be #1, freedom of speech. I think he had pre-made 1s in his outfit and just picked the one that matched Teller's. It's a good trick that could have went wrong had he assumed wrong. If not that, it has to be the type of peanuts he had Teller choose from. I'm assuming they could have been possibly magnetic, the marker had some element that made it magnetic, or the peanut was pre-coated in a chemical that made it react to a black light or something in the blindfold. I mean, why have him select one from a pre-separated bag of peanuts and then use tongs to drop it in instead of having Teller come up or have the assistant pick one out of the box and hand it to Teller to write on and drop it back in the box? This shouldn't have fooled them.

    My guess: he first demonstrates the box, with all peanuts showing. Then with the assistant, they shake and spin the box, then put it on the ground upside down (it had flaps on top and bottom). When he opens the flaps on the new top (previous bottom) there is a device (thin transparent sheet of plastic maybe) that catches the peanut he drops into the box. Then, he dives in, and grabs that thin sheet with the peanut in it, and submerges into the mass of peanuts where he puts the one peanut in his mouth and the thin sheet in his pocket.

    I haven’t seen how it was done yet, but I’m guessing the peanut he “found” is not the same as the one Teller signed. Since he got a good look at it before dropping it in, he could have a pen hidden in the box in a way he could find and use it to draw the number on any of the peanuts.

Wouldn't the force of the jump just chuck that peanut into the air? What if it ends up under your shoe, you'll step it down into the rest of the packing peanuts. Did you practice with the placement of the peanut drop, and the placement of your feet as you jump hundreds of times just to get it right?

    POSSIBLE SPOILER: So much miss-direction aimed specifically at Penn & Teller. Why are the peanuts he offers to Teller in a separate bag? Unimportant. Misdirection. Shaking the box? Painting with glue? Unimportant. What was the most important moment to catch? What he didn't hide. He did the trick right in front of them without trying to hide it. He looked at Teller's peanut. Now he knows exactly what Teller wrote. It's pretty hard to make a very unique "T" on a small lumpy piece of styrophome. It's even harder to spot a forgery from that far away. Once he saw the peanut, all that was left was to jump in a box with a thousand peanuts and a sharpy, make the mark and pop the peanut in his mouth. Truck done. He did exactly what he said he wouldn't do-throw out a red harring. Multiple red harrings, while he brazenly did the simplest thing right in front of them. Woops. I was wrong. That's not how he did it.

    The trick is so simple when you think about it. For a start, no one can distinguish one packing peanut from the rest. Secondly, writing on a packing peanut is impossible to do well. Teller struggled himself to write anything meaningful on the peanut. The game was up when our magician studied the peanut that Teller had 'wrote' on before entering the box. He then knew roughly what the peanut should look like. Jump in the box. Grab any peanut. Take out a concealed marker and simply mark it similar to the peanut that Teller marked. Stuff it in your mouth. Simple.
