My idea> Each tile has a unique scent that Teller wouldn't have noticed but the hamster can recognize. Teller had a free choice, but note only his selected tile ever went under the hat. The hat is then offered to the hamster so it can identify the scent it needs to find. It is then let loose into the maze and knows which tile to select to match the scent it has been given. Is this how it was done?
@@AH-te5gs They did not guess it on this occasion, and I've watched the show since the very start and I am not aware of another hamster act at all, leat of all one with a scent-isolated area for scent selection plus maze with multiple areas for scent matching type of setup. Can you point to one? Otherwise the above entirely nulls your argument against my idea in my (admittedly completely amateur) opinion. But I am open to other suggestions if you have one?
14:35 that was so smooth... I saw the gimmick but how he got her to the 7 was so smooth I thought he actually pulled the 7 up and bottom dealt the joker... That would have been a neat trick too.. But he was really clean.
Hampsters have a really good sense of smell. The fish tile had a smell and it went into the hat, which was then put near the hampster. Someone in the comments argued about it, but that is the answer
How do you explain the 20 unique smells in the maze though? That's TWENTY unique scents all melding together plus in a maze where they can mix and move around in the air. Way more complicated than necessary.
That last guy. "I'm not old enough to have been doing magic for as long as I've been doing magic." Like how some resumés show 30+ years experience at the age of 18.
The tile was full of pheromones, once the magician tells teller to look at his tile, he takes the hat to his side and in the back, lets the hamster smell it for a while. Hamsters apparently are good at smelling pheromones
Yep. And Vega next. I don't know why there's so much focus on the first trick. Okay it was a fooler, but in hindsight, we basically know how it was done.
One thing to note. The woman who performed was conveying a true love. It was not romantic at all in nature. She was the only one there that was aware of that type of love. Everyone was so quick to call her performance romantic. I, however, thought of my father. Beautiful art.
Never underestimate magicians. I'm going with "Can detect the tile" "Can shut off the correct gates" And if you say that would make it too easy, watch some more P&T
Things I noticed... and first guess \/ \/ \/ \/ Tiles images APPEAR to all be different. Teller/nobody sees the tile he picked, placed under the hat, UNTIL AFTER the hamster reveal. After he triggered the firework to bring the hamster back to life... The hamster box is pretty standard except for the firework. The fish tile at the end appears to be the same tile/drawing as before they were mixed.. The maze/pyramid? And I don't think he revealed the other tiles after the tile reveal or trick. So it doesn't appear to be a force. The tiles don't appear to be switched/physically.If it's a scent thing, the hamster wasn't in on it,,, lol Cause he didn't get a whif of the tile if I remember... so the gimmick might be in the pyramid itself somehow. Have to think about this one later. But for now, I wonder about the length of time between the fireowork and tile reveal... if something was gimmicked in the helmet at that same time to change the tile image so it became irrelevant which tile he picks. Disappearing/changing ink/image somehow.
The hamster one seems obvious to me. The tiles have an aroma. The aroma collected in the hat, he let the hamster smell the hat then find the correlated tile? I am surprised they didn’t even make a guess 🤨
I knew the Spanish guy will not fool them. Breaking the bottle gave it away and because of the greats like Dany Ortiz and many others, they have been studying everything Spain. If he had come before, I am sure it would be a fooler.
The bottle was gimmicked in such a way that the card could be inserted into it (during one of the few times the magician put his hand in his back pocket). Because the bottle was destroyed by the magician without ever being examined by P&T, the magician 'destroyed the evidence' - meaning destroyed the gimmicked bottle.
If you pause at 17:16 you'll see the a line across the top of the wide part of the bottle, caused by refraction in the glass.. frame forward a bit and you can actually see the shadow of that refraction on the card.
The magic acts aren't necessarily all in any one show. The producers mix and match them for the best flow. Therefore she wears the same outfit so it seems like those acts were from one show.
i think Teller had no choice, he only got to see his tile the 2nd time round, lifting the hat, the magician already slipped the tile of redfish to be there. the hamster had 'free choice' though,,, he had a choice of any exit that was a redfish,,, the other exits (of other glyphs) could not be entered (go nutz, many ways to block that) Teller probably sensed it, but Penn feels the magician executed it well enough
@@Cthulhus_Mum But he already had an envelope in hand when she said that she picked Penn. Yeah, he could have switched it somehow if she had picked Teller, and it just never came to this. But still …
@@twowiseguys666 That might be possible, but I didn’t see anything like that. Maybe there were envelopes within each other. Penn’s explanation sounded a little like this.
Yeah. Even Penn admitted that they ALL wear the Same outfits that they choose before the season opens-but he didn't explain why 😢 A commentor said that apparently, not all the acts shown on TV are from the same show. Meaning that, in post production they basically pick which acts are put together. Hope this helps
I dont think a lot of the magicians come on trying to fool Penn & Teller, I think they're there for the exposure and just wanna put on a decent show, ie: the Japanese girl and the little dude Jonathan.
Pretty sure magicians pick one route or the other. Either they will show a large audience their best trick or they will try to fool. Those that try to fool often have less impressive tricks but they are built in a way that the ending isn't obvious or that can be done in multiple ways to force Penn and Teller to pick a path and risk being wrong.
All that ridiculous scent discussion... Hamsters are no dogs and can't be trained in such a way. Their only motivation is food. The magician must have known what symbol was on Teller's tile (maybe they were marked in a way that even Teller could not notice) and must have slipped some treat in the right room in an unnoticed moment.
All the tiles were a fish that teller had a choice to pick. When the magician put the hamster in the box, there are scent in the area that he was put in but three of the boxes away from the scent has different logos on the bottom so the magician only shows those three to act like all the boxes were different. If he flipped all of the remaining boxes, they would of all been fishes.
The hamster was taught to follow scent. Teller touched only 1 tile, afterwards the hamster was put on Tellers head, the hamster immediately followed his scent.
I don't think it's about the scent of tellers hand at all actually, more like the scent of the cube. Depending on how good the hat captures the scent the hamster may have been able to identify it. Still though, ballsy if he did it like that.
I imagine it's for continuity. They film multiple magicians per day and in editing, it gives them greater power to mix them up depending on the episode.
That JAPANESE female Magician was SO CUTE.... REALLY .... Asian girls/women are very CUTE. ( I'm Asian too but I'm not boasting our Asian beauties... it's a FACT ..😊 ).
It isn't only the host but Penn and Teller too. On a different comment, someone mentioned that this enables them to edit episodes the way they want them to have (not too many foolers at once, not too long/short acts and such)
Nao killed it. I love routines like that.
When Penn praises the “routine,” that means they're not fooled.
I have always loved this show. I just. wish I could come to Vegas to see it. I'm looking forward to at least another 10 years of Penn and teller.

Probably
That sounds very plausible and genius.
Thank you@@eliteextremophile8895
i doubt that. They've guessed that before in his other acts and it's just too obvious a method

First trick, he obviously used a hamster force.
I automatically thought of force, then some hamster food.
That last guy. "I'm not old enough to have been doing magic for as long as I've been doing magic." Like how some resumés show 30+ years experience at the age of 18.
The envelope thing was so easy to see through... Anyone could have performed that trick 😂
I can feel the Spanish brothers sadness. Poor guy. It was an incredible act.
The tile was full of pheromones, once the magician tells teller to look at his tile, he takes the hat to his side and in the back, lets the hamster smell it for a while.

lil Hamsiris is so cute
The first trick.. the guy switches the randomly picked tile with the fish tile under the hat. The hamster is trained to go to the fish box. Right??
What a great hostess!
The hamster one seems obvious to me. The tiles have an aroma. The aroma collected in the hat, he let the hamster smell the hat then find the correlated tile?

Could the camera work be any 4kin worse?
cutie teller
Fun show
I dont get what they said about the card one
The bottle was gimmicked in such a way that the card could be inserted into it (during one of the few times the magician put his hand in his back pocket). Because the bottle was destroyed by the magician without ever being examined by P&T, the magician 'destroyed the evidence' - meaning destroyed the gimmicked bottle.
If you pause at 17:16 you'll see the a line across the top of the wide part of the bottle, caused by refraction in the glass.. frame forward a bit and you can actually see the shadow of that refraction on the card.

Teller probably sensed it, but Penn feels the magician executed it well enough
What I f the cue cards read “Yoda Rake”?
I get how the 50/50 guy made correct “predictions” on the first three choices she made. But any idea how he predicted that she would pick Penn?
From the coded explanation, he had multiple envelopes. Probably 16 - one for each possible combination of guesses.
@@Cthulhus_Mum But he already had an envelope in hand when she said that she picked Penn. Yeah, he could have switched it somehow if she had picked Teller, and it just never came to this. But still …
@alfeberlin my thought was there was another pocket in the envelope with Teller
@@twowiseguys666 That might be possible, but I didn’t see anything like that. Maybe there were envelopes within each other. Penn’s explanation sounded a little like this.
@@twowiseguys666 I had the same thought
Penn n Teller are smarter than a hamster, there's business we don't know about
Scented tiles, then he put the hat around the hamster, hamster follows his nose.
I don’t really understand my Booke always wears the same clothes. It doesn’t make sense
Yeah.

I think it’s so they can put at least one fooler per episode
So when they edit the show they can edit it in any order they want without it being obvious it wasn't filmed on the same day.

Haha no. It is just a forced pick at the shuffle. The hamster simply knows where he's used to find food.
