I loved that trick fully. And the acting. That look on his face when he’s like “whose box is this?”
It was the worst trick ever on this show!
Haha “this is the worst”... I read that and brain went to wurst... I’d love to see this trick performed with various German sausages. The wurstest trickiest box trick ever

@@X320riginal You think you can do it better?
The only problem is that it took too much time in the beginning. He needed to show that his trick was good enough by showing the boxes, doing the card trick and doing the book trick. It took Penn and teller out of the magic routine and put them into calculating mode. Trying to keep up with different number of tricks employed in such a short amount of time. The trick was complex no doubt. Later, the comedy and magical effect were on point too. It's just that the starting feels like a typical magic trick that Penn and teller were not fooled.
I mean saw one trick which was very simple that even I knew how it was done but Penn and teller were fooled because they were too into the feeling.
3:30 Come on dude, you had one job...
he was the real magician.....
Hardest part of every trick is having a spectator that can actually remember a card.
He was so amazed that he forgot, shows he was not stooge :P
Yeah that happens when every box has a diamond on it:)
@@DieFrauAmHerd They aren't allowed to have stooges. Its one of the rules.
This felt just like magic , best trick ever on fool us
It's definitely in the top 5, but it has some competition. For example, Shawn Farquhar's card trick.
I really enjoyed it. Absolutely flawless.
Agreed, this this one is awesome!
i felt the same way, there are just few acts that really astonish you and you just sit there and watch speachless
Worst trick ever!
One of the best performances I've watched, even if he didn't fool them. The showmanship and comedy is top notch
What the actual hell... that one magician fooled them by sticking a cookie in his mouth with a napkin!!
This is definitely top 3 best tricks I have ever seen on here. Great job!
i know!! dont know how they missed the cookie in the napkin
Or the cello guy who memorized which cards were in a switched deck... that guy singlehandedly lowered the value of a FU trophy by 30% lol
I agree, sometimes they have two obvious guess and pick at random then get "fooled" its a bit sad.
And sometime they just choose to be fooled saying "we understand it all but your too good". May be Tom deserve this?
@@kevina5337 can you tell me who that guy was again?
that cookie trick made me angry too lol
I genuinely believe this is one of the greatest magic tricks of all time, and I’m not exaggerating. It’s so creative and so unique that it actually inspires awe. In contrast-no matter how technically impressive they are-card tricks, coin tricks, escape tricks, and vanish tricks all just blend into each other eventually. A magician locating your card or a coin disappearing is nifty, but it’s not actually meaningful. But this trick plays with ideas of teleportation, mysterious spaces, effects at a distance, and maybe even quantum uncertainty. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.
Thank you, I’m actually quite moved by your kind comment.
The judge’s decision was heartbreaking.
The sense of wonder you get from this guy is quite incredible. Especially because at first, he very deliberately plays up his strangeness and to an extent foriengness, and makes you question if he's actually any good, or is just popular in a very small niche. And then bam, dimensional vortexes happen and he's like "Who's box is this?" and you're left like, "...motherfucker."
Of all the comments here, this one is a favorite! Thanks for the laugh! :-D
This is EXACTLY how I felt. Surfing, gonna check this dude out, seems like a birthday party magician......and then I'm rewinding and rewinding and rewinding and trying to figure out how he is traversing space and time.
This is the most magical performance I've ever seen on Fool Us, fantastic!
Look for Eric Chien.
I've been binging on this show since the coronavirus lockdown began. Needless to say, I've watched a lot of tricks in the past week or so. This trick/act is one of my top three favorites! The trick is amazing to me, but the way you sell it with your face and voice take it to the next level of entertaining.
probably because he's a Swede
(like myself lol)
Yooooo same. I’ve also been binging these for just about the past month and a half and this one floored me
Me too, these videos complete my day. So after watching, i can now go to sleep 😁.
Me too only 5months later
Honestly think this is one of my favourite “fool us” routines of all time. Absolutely incredible!!
It's astonishing that this wasn't a fooler. Seriously.
I mean... I figured out most of it. By rewinding the video about 10 times to make sure I saw something important of course. It's incredible they caught everything important live because that trick is both awesome and complex.
@@Argenium1 I caught some things on the first watch and STILL don't understand how it's done. Wanna give me a hint?
@@Argenium1 if it takes an average person 450 times to barely catch it, then p n t can find it ezpz
It’s amazing what props can do
Ja-fuckin-breezy fools them but not this
this guy found a hole into the fourth-dimension and _this_ is what he decided to do with that logic.
Is that where you got that line from? Wait, no, it's from literally every other Fool Us clip on youtube.
Fooled or not, this was a masterpiece. Hiding a battery in the charging brick usually fools them! ;)
Yep. The one trick that Penn and Teller weren't qualified to assess was a bloody rope trick with a phone charger, that didn't fool anyone under 30 XD
@@tipi5586 hey man ,im 45 and it sertenly didnt fool me either ;)
'
@@tipi5586
And the stone-paper-scissors trick, which was 100% mathematical self-working, but Penn & Teller apparently missed Math class to often.
@@veidec you certainly fooled your spelling teacher into passing you.
@@gmailrockmcbride49508 Maybe english is not his 1st language, as it isn't mine either. What if he speaks 2-3 foreign languages? Would you be considered a fool for not knowing?😉
This routine tickled me pink! Every time you said "Whose box is this?", it got funnier 🤣 such an innocent routine that felt simple but was clearly very complex!
I like this because it's not the usual card tricks that are done by way too many magicians.
Holy Shit! This man must be a wizard. Out of all routines on Fool Us, this has to be the most amazing.
Apoorv Singh 10/10, would burn at the stake.
It's pretty easy
I guess the lesson here is never trust a Swede who uses a box which isn't from Ikea.
Hhh that was legendary
@socal rocks ?
socal rocks what was the point of randomly and needlessly dragging politics into one of the least political videos on this site?
@socal rocks careful, don't wake the trump trolls.
@socal rocks he doesn't need Sweden when he's living rent free in your head.
I love it when he corrects the guy when he says his card was 5 of diamonds while it was 5 of clubs
Because it really was the 5 of clubs, but when the boxes have diamonds on them, it likely confused him
@@Steve-fe4lq But he made a point of saying "don't show it to me", so he shouldn't have been able to correct him. I felt sorry for him there, the audience member cocked things up a bit.
This was probably the best trick I have ever seen, and I've been watching Fool Us for awhile now. The fact that you didn't fool them, just goes to show how truly magical they are as a Duo.
Meh. That's one of the unsatisfying parts of the show. Some incredibly awesome, complex tricks like this don't "fool them" because they know how it must be done through process of elimination even if they don't REALLY know all the steps, but then some incredibly lame tricks which impress no one technically fool them just because it's a novel set up that no one likes or cares about and can't actually be used in real magic shows. But I agree--and I don't say this lightly either, that this is the best constructed and performed magic trick I have ever seen. Feels genuinely magical.
This is stage magic at it’s best. Close audience interaction, minimal props, genuine comedy, simple to understand and completely astounding. The only thing I could notice is that the third box was not checked and he turned away to put the torn pieces in the glass. The moment a magician turns his body away from the audience, he/she is upto no good. :)
Brava
Definitely up to no good. He wasn't even up to better. You said it in your first line: he was up to best!
What means HE/SHE?
@@niemandschuldet In OP's sentence, "The moment a magician turns his body away from the audience, he/she is upto no good. :) " they are referring to magicians in general and not any specific magician. Magicians can be male or female so saying "he/she" is a common way to speak about a hypothetical person of which you do not know the gender.
"Whose box is this?!?" First time he asked it was funny, second time he said it was fascinating... but the third time he said it I was gob-smacked. There are very few acts that stupify me to the point of disbelief... and this was one of them. This... was magic.
Comedy comes in threes.
@@minombreesirrelevante4407 I hope that's not the case or the BM Pirates are never going to climb that damn waterfall (perhaps someone will understand this reference)
@@MarcoDToon I would be really funyn if they didn't make it up ngl. But after they got kicked down by a pteranodon and then by a phoenix, I don't know how they fall the next time. Maybe a dragon comes flying by and kicking them down, who knows at this point
I love that we all knew what was going to happen, yet it was still astonishing when it did.
That's the best kind of trick, though - where you're saying to yourself "No way is it in there ... Dammit!"
i really have zero idea how he did it.
Dude this guy deserves more credit. This was probably the best trick ever on fool us and like it's so complex and everything this deserves so much more!
Right? Even if it didn't fool them, I kinda wish P&T gave the trick more acknowledgment for it's brilliant design and sequence. P&T care a lot about the "theory" behind magic performance and how tricks are crafted to be meaningful, and this trick was perfection imo, especially compared to the hundreds of card tricks they get on their show where there aren't any real "stakes" or "meaning" behind the magic. This is a trick that was artistically beautiful and meaningful without being too self-serious. No emotional music or hand gestures or shasowy lighting, just a truly beautiful trick done in the least pretentious way possible. That's a rare but wonderful combination.
My favorite trick so far on Fool Us. Genuinely awesome performance.
Amazing Tom!! well done!
Tom Stone I can't figure out anything you did. Thanks so much for doing the trick. Looked like real magic to me.
I have actually been on stage in Sweden (Magic Bar) years ago as audience member during this trick performed by Tom Stone. I picked the card and held that box behind my back. Watching the trick unfold pulled the world away from under my feet. So happy to see him (you?) perform it on this show as well.
I think what the blunt words Penn & Teller used was. "Magic", "We finaly found someone with real magic."
That’s some incredibly, incredibly high praise from them - fooled or not.
You looked totally relaxed and like you were just having fun. I imagine if that’s accurate, it’s gotta take an insane amount of skills and confidence in your skills to feel that way on stage in front of Penn & Teller.
Big ups for the whole performance!
You, the audience member and Alyson were really funny together. lol the audience guy cracked me up. The way he checked out the box and showed it to the camera like “it’s empty, you got that?” Then later he was like “uh, cards, deck of cards!! Uh 5 of… clubs, clubs!!” Dude was having his mind blown by the trick, at that point he could barely remember his card lol. And Alyson “yours. Because you’re holding it?” Sometimes random audience members and/or Alyson are pretty awkward but this added to the laughs.
"How do you know when a trick is ready" sparked a great remembrance of a quote, which is "Don't practice until you get it right. Practice until you can't get it wrong."
I took it to mean "when is the art of the trick done and fully refined" rather than "when are you fully practised and ready to perform the trick". one is a question of readiness of the trick, the other is a question of readiness of the magician.
I sometimes binge Fool Us videos here on TH-cam, and I have to say this remains my favourite act that I've seen. I haven't the faintest clue how one could make this trick work. It just seems wholly impossible -- but there it is. That's not all of it though, I really like your showmanship and the premise of the trick. It's just a stellar performance, through and through! The Swedish accent and the "oj!" is the cherry on the top.
Oj! :-) Thanks for the kind comment!
this is one of my personal favorite trick and my favorite magician thank you
Tom Stone who box is this
Lmao I love how his whole persona is like, "I don't even know what's going on" 😂
This performance is so good because the effect is something that is layer upon layer of impossible. Three sealed boxes, all in different people's hands, and items jumping from box to box. Like, I can't even begin to comprehend how you can make the items move without it being blatant.
I come back to this trick every so often. About once a year. Really stuck in my memory with how fun and unique it is.
Hahaha. It's funny to see this same comment so often. I literally told him the same thing in my comment. This is the ONLY trick I keep coming back to over and over and over across several years now.
This might be my favorite ever Fool Us trick. Amazing. It felt like real magic. Great performance too.
For about 34 year's ago I saw that wonderful look for the first time "what colour is it"... So wonderful to see it again 😍
This is incredible . I've only liked three magicians in this show so far, Farquhar, Doc Dixon, and now this guy
The "dirty work", as Penn put it, really was done so well and so early that you can watch this video 1000x and probably never see him do it. This one took me longer to figure out than most. Bravo!
This was PHENOMENAL! If you weren’t performing for P&T, you’d fool 99.9% of pro magicians - you fooled me! Bc when I have to rewatch at 0.25 speed, then again, I’m really stumped! Beautifully designed (and yes, VERY sneaky) routine 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
Amazing trick! And the fact that he went full amnesia mode immediately after he closed the box "Who's box is this????" was hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
I have watched this a few times and it NEVER fails to raise a smile with me, the deadpan delivery is wonderful!
How? How? How? Tom you certainly fooled us. Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I had a fat blood red smile on my face for the whole act. This is for sure one of the best acts on fool us, I can't comprehend how any of it was done
Bravo! It is an honor to be in the same show with you. Your routine alone was brilliant but what made it even better was your performance. "Whose box is this?" will become a trademark in magic! :-)
Thank you so much! I highly enjoyed your piece too! Great performance, and on the technical part; not a clue! 😊
"Who's Box Is This?"
Sounds like a new game show😁
How many hats?
Whose.
Best magic trick I've seen on this show. I was genuinely amazed throughout the whole thing. In my opinion, he undoubtably deserved the trophy.
Probably my favorite trick ever shown on Fool Us. Absolutely beautiful
This was definitely deserved a trophy, outstanding performance Tom, very well executed.
yeah, this was so much better than many of the performances they have awarded trophys. (Jebrizy)
This guy has something adorable. His a mixture of mystery and funny.
"you didn't fool us" is code for : Our demons have talked with your demons and they agree to stay hidden and not become a household name .
The real magic is remembering the name of a random person you just met
That was such a good trick that even if he personally explained it to me it would still feel magical to me. Dang.
There's a couple acts that have been on the show like that for me. Kostya Kimlat's first one is kind of that. I know precisely how he did it (he's explained it in detail on his TH-cam channel before) and knowing what he did makes it even more impressive. This one is the same way. It's so complex and intricate.
Seen every act of Penn and Teller but this gotta be one of my favorites!
Thanks for your performance Mr. Stone
There was too much magic in this magic for them to say anything. That's magic in and of itself.
Even if I figured out how this trick was done, I would still be extremely impressed at how smoothly it was performed. It looked effortless, but I'm sure a lot of work went into it.
this is my favorite trick ever on fool us, regardless of whether it fooled them
That looks like REAL magic! :) Great work!
offtopic: your avtaar picture is proof how even simple name picture too can be effective, eye catching
wonder if it is your name alone or a business name too
The issue with tricks that are this “magical” is they often have very few feasible techniques for achieving the illusion, thus, by process of elimination and watching him closely, penn, teller, and even some audience members may be able to deduce the method used in the performance. I believe this is why Penn & Teller were not sure if they had been fooled, because they probably had it narrowed down to 2-3 methods, all employing sleight of hand that is well known and recognizable to another professional magician.
They (or he) could probably have produced the same result with at least a slightly different technique, and all three of them knew it, thus it was far more obvious to professional eyes what was taking place than to us (the general public audience)
This trick was so great, i don't want to know how it's done. Everything about it was fascinating and entertaining. Well done, sir!
gaburearu The funny thing is that it’s probably really really really really simple 😂😂😂
Not simple at all.
@@ddd1hhh "This is one of the most complex acts we've ever had on the show..." --Penn
@@minombreesirrelevante4407 Simple elements but a lot of them (and one complex one)
That was a great trick, well performed. It was more entertaining and magical than many tricks that do fool them. As an audience member, you can't ask for more than that.
**Puts Tom Stone in my list of favorite magicians**
That was a really, really beautiful illusion!
EDIT: Went back to see if I could catch a bit of the "dirty business". Saw one piece of it. So absolutely lovely, so simple, I don't want any more. I'm delighted. :)
This is a uniquely brilliant trick. Such a simple premise, but gradually expands into more of a mind melting effect.
They need to have a show where they just evaluate the greatness of the magic trick, rather than whether it "fooled" them, because fooling Penn and Teller only requires some electronics.
Haha this is in reference to the charger act right?
@@26Feathers 🍺🇦🇺🦈
well said, mate!🦈🇦🇺🍺
Evaluating how clean and skilled a trick is is boring and encourages to do very basic safe stuff that are just hard to do. Doing it like they do encourages creativity on the other hand! And I'm pretty sure as magicians they are more interested in being fooled by things they've never seen or thought about before than evaluating the same routine over and over again.
Or a cookie in a napkin.
@@26Feathers They also got fooled by a girl wearing an Apple Watch.
It's cool that, even though the experts are not fooled, noone cares and people are just amazed.
This is pure magic. It is so fascinating and even if i would love to know how it is done, on the other hand i don't want, just to feel the magic 100%. Perfect routine. Must be Top 3 of all P&T-Acts ever.
One of the best tricks I ve ever seen on Fool Us, probably in top 3 with Shawn Farquhar and Danny Cole first performances. Like with these 2 tricks, I have no idea how it's done. I hope someone will explain it soon
I think my personal favorite is Shawn followed closely by Shin Lim
2:35 teller just chilling writing while looking lol
I’ve got a few ideas on some of the more basic components, but how it all came together can only be described as Magical. So much so that Penn & Teller figured it out, but even they were left wondering. Despite not being a fooler, this is the best I’ve seen taking us back to the essence of the trade. Leaving you feeling like a happy child left in awe without a bunch of flashy tricks. There’s something truly wonderful and nostalgic about this routine.
I’ve seen over a hundred of these Fool Us before.. some decent, some good, some amazing. But this one blows my freaking mind .. Why doesn’t anyone ever give standing ovations anymore?? I would’ve been on my feet!!! ☺️👏👏👏❤️👍
Absolutely phenomenal. It's so cutesy it's disarming, and then you're really caught off guard by the trick. Brilliant stuff.
Tom Stone is OBVIOUSLY the best. And so charismatic. Wow. I'd go to your show if it was here
Best act ever on Penn &Teller! I believe he fooled them but they denied that😂. Forth or fifth dimension !! Whatever you did just worked fine for us👏🏻👏🏻
Ibra Sal For real though? How was that not a Fooler?
They couldn’t find a way to discuss the trick in code. It was out of respect to the performer that they chose to go directly to the judges. Doesn’t mean they were fooled or not, it just means they wanted to keep his secret.
absolute magical
Is it hard to perform in front of Penn and Teller? What a great answer that was. Great magic! I wish it fooled them ❤
2:35 Best moment, Teller writing while looking up.
Amazing hands down the best act I have ever seen.
It's just nice to see someone go on here and do something other than a bloody card trick lol Don't get me wrong, some card tricks can be really clever but there's only so many of them you can watch before they become stale. Surely most magicians learn more than what they can do with a coin or a deck of cards? Bravo to Tom for doing something different :)
This is the most amazing trick to have ever been performed in this show.
This is my favorite trick on Fool Us, absolutely perfect!
Absolutely brilliant, as always! This is, bar NONE, my favourite magic routine in the world. Ever.
Amazing. The best illusion I've seen on that stage.
That was an amazing trick! Really entertaining and about as close to actual magic as I think we've seen on this show.
This man is amazing. This was a great performance. And his expression at 7:32 where you can tell a secret conversation has happened between the magicians is so curiosity inducing that I'm dying to know what has been communicated there.
Hands down the best I’ve seen on the show.
With most magic tricks you have a feeling that they've got some gimmick, or that if you could just replay the tape a few times in slow-motion, you might catch them. This is one of those truly magical ones. You just observe something that looks like it shouldn't be possible at all, not even as a magic trick. Shawn Farquhar's first time on P&T (putting Penn's signed card into a brand-new, sealed deck of cards) is also in this category. You watch it and think "wait, that doesn't even seem possible!". It blows far past that vague sense there was trickery, and it looks like straight up magic.
This is one of the most amazing routines I have seen at Fool Us. Every once in a while I go back to see this, and I always end up blown away. Brilliant presentation, fresh sympathy, and an avalanche of pure skills. Thank you for showing us such a flawless performance. Greetins from México.
Hahaha. Exactly the same with me. It is the only Fool Us trick that I keep coming back to over and over and over for years now. It's exactly what magic tricks are supposed to be.
WOW! That was one of the best routines, not just P & T, but ever. That really was magic
I've seen this many times, and I still have not a goddamn clue about the method, not even a hint.
This trick is amazing, bravo.
Amazing that there were no foolers on this episode but all of the tricks on this episode were far better than every trick from the previous episodes.
Such a mindblowing presentation. And "Whose box is this?!" is so funny.
You Sir, is what GREAT MAGIC is all about.
if Schrodinger did magic.
this is one of my favorite tricks ever. so awesome. thank you, you are brilliant.
That might be the first trick I've ever seen where I don't want to know how it's done. This was so cleanly performed, I want to believe it was actual magic that defies the laws of our universe. In over 30 years of watching magicians starting in the mid 80s with P&T and David Copperfield flying around like an idiot, this is no doubt my favorite routine. Perfection.
By far this is the best magic trick on the show to date! Bravo!! and it's wonderful the way you trick us all with your mimic... we truly think that you came off the boat two days ago... and instead wham!! it comes the blow!!
I have never seen a trick like this and cannot even begin to understand it. I do not even see how it can be sleight of hand........strange
Even though I know the premise behind the method, I have no clue how HE pulled this off because he didn’t use a regular method. Incredible style.
One of the best tricks to ever be featured on Penn and teller imo
Beautifully done!
This has got to be the most perfect trick I’ve seen. Astounding
This trick is fantastic. Even as I began to understand the story, I could not follow the method. Wonderful!
This is one of the best tricks I've ever seen... shockingly powerful... I wish I could have been one of the participants !!!
I swear to god, that guy not remembering his card and the performer having to correct him pissed me off.
Bro, you got one job as a guest - REMEMBER YOUR CARD.
Mariano Pena you can’t blame him for being nervous. He just glanced and then showed it to everybody. It’s a simple mistake, and also a common one for some reason.
His head was somewhere else for the entirety of the perfomance.
This was FANTASTIC!
Definitely one of my favourite tricks and performances I've seen on here. Wow!
"Wh-... Whose box is this?!"
