      A laproscopy is where you have little holes in a patients abdomen to access the inside.
      In this case it likely means there were holes in the table that would be invisible from that far.

    Honestly, the most impressive thing to me about this performance, is being comfortable enough to give Alyson room to do her brilliant comedic things, in a back and forth fashion. Most "comedic" magicians aren't secure enough(or good enough) to be able to go there when on stage. You're legit funny, Erik.

    This has to be my favorite act from Penn and Teller that did not fool them. It’s easily in my top 5 favorite acts from the show. Everything was fantastic. You were just so funny and and gave such an incredible performance. That, and you’re obviously no magic slouch. This is such a difficult trick to pull off as seamlessly as you did it. You may not have fooled them, but you gave them what, in my opinion, is one of the better performances from the show.

      A shill wins with the bent corner and the public notices. In round 3, even if U bet on which is NOT the queen (cause there is no queen), you will not get very far from the table when the gang (of 10) will do horrible things to get their money back and scatter.
      Wanna have some fun, shout a word during the game and they think it is their lookout reporting seeing a cop. Poof; Table on the ground and only the public is standing there. (Have your wallet in your front pocket when standing around.)

    Something about the routine, the way you held your hands at the table, and the general lack of ambiguity made it very clear when the moves had to happen, and therefore made it clear when they did happen. The controls are done well, but you could probably stand to find a way to get your dirty work done at a less obvious time

    @charlesmayberry2825 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    That was really well done, the only time I saw any of what happened was the last switch, That one was fast and almost perfect but just enough that if you are looking for the sleight that you can catch it. I almost missed it because it was very smooth, I'm thinking from Penn and Tellers seat it wouldn't even be visible, the camera angle there may have done you dirty a bit.
    That said I really enjoyed that performance, even knowing exactly what it was, it's always delightful to see a skillful execution of a trick

    First time seeing Penn trying to sabotage a performance by deliberately choosing a different position for the queen (in the second step) after seeing the queen (as we all did) in the central position. Was he trying to challenge the magician or to communicate that he spotted the slight of hand? In any case, good comeback by Eric.
