- Javi Benitez second performance on Penn & Teller Fool Us Show at The CW Channel. Benitez try to fool them totally surrounded with a very classic trick that every magician knows but with an amazing ending where the thread transform in powder (Magic Powder??). Will he puzzle the two giants in magic? Well, he bring a new twist to the old trick that maybe does not fool them but for sure will fool everybody else (just check Alyson Hannigan reaction!)
"El Hilo" is a twist of a very old trick called "The Gypsy Thread". The routine is based in a mix of concepts from Al Baker to Javi´s own ideas and many others. And now you can do it too!

teller whisper: "if you dont tell we were right ill make sure you are never performing in vegas again"
Haha love it
How does this only have two likes?
😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm dead
sepfirem 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hahahaha great!!
When Penn and Teller tell you that people have just witnessed the best sleight of hand they will ever see... THAT is a compliment worth losing for.
Well l never saw a thing sleighty.. all out in the open, so l say WTF
A Pisa Fart
Yes and no, it's actually quite simple to deduce. I don't want to touch....touches anyways.
True... but then again they say that quite often and I don't think thats how "being the best" works
Javi.... I've been a magician for most of my life I just turned 61. I know what you did....I just can't SEE IT!!!!
My wife and I are watching FU on TV and I must have played it back 20 times and STILL CAN'T SEE IT!!!!!
You are inspirational my friend!
Truly.... UNBELIEVABLE!
Thank you! I´m very happy that you are enjoying it!
What did he do? Slight of hand? When?
That is perhaps why you shouldn't believe everything you see on TV. th-cam.com/video/_dSp_f0f9gE/w-d-xo.html
Supernova Kasprzak This is not America’s Got Talent. No camera tricks allowed on Fool Us.
@@johan3672 Okay. Are you a producer of the show or just a fan that's asserting some wishful thinking?
Best part is when he turn the string into cocaine
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAJA
😅
Bruh.....hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Top 5 best comments I ever read on TH-cam
"I don't want to touch" Proceeds to touch, game over.
@FIDIRONU The magic happened when he grabbed a couple of pieces and handed them to Allison. I don't know what happened to the individual pieces, but I'm thinking that's when he handed her the "restored thread"... But where did all the other pieces go?
@@jupitereye4322 Some of the other comments I believe are correct that he took the risk of having the single thread ball in his fingers when he picked up the collection of torn strings. Then when he picked up the combined ball, he pinched the torn strings ball and stole it from the ball of one single thread, keeping the torn strings ball hidden between his first finger and thumb, ditching it later. The powder was a separate effect.
@@jupitereye4322 You got it guys and playing it back at .25 speed you can see him separate the torn strings from the whole string. The ball he pulls apart is much smaller than the ball of string that was initially on the table and he is pinching the ball of torn string extreeeemely tight. I do have one observation, the length of string he starts out with is very long, if you put all the pieces of string together that were on the black matt it would barely add up to half the length of that original string. I wonder if they edited something out.
He made the switch before giving it to her...He shows his tell when he relaxes those 2 fingers...Both times he unfolded them after making the switch.
Maybe I'm not understanding the comments right. I think he slipped the single thread ball into her hand while he was picling up the torn pieces. Or maybe earlier or later, but by the time he's picking it up after everyone did the hand thing above it, it does seem like he was seperating the single thread ball from the torn one. But how does he know where to pinch, wouldn't the single thread be mixed with the torn pieces. Alison picked some other threads after he stopped touching the them and when she is twirling it up in her palm, some would get mixed and tangled with the single thread ball.
It would be easier if at one point when he picked up the ball the whole ball was cover woth hos fingers as he pinched, becayse he could've had the long thread in his hand before. But the way he handled the ball, there doesn't seem to be a way to sneak in yhe long thread, the entire ball was always on vision even wgen he was pocking up the ends.
Teller is absolutely astounding with the knowledge he displays in this
teller whispers...take the dive, and we'll bring you back on.
nah, he knew.
Lmaoo word, but Teller is probably the best sleight of hand performer on earth so pretty sure he knew.
Keeps saying "I don't want to touch" and then proceeds to pick up some thread pieces and pass the intact thread to Allison.
@@timq6224 But then what happened to the torn pieces she had in her hand already?
@@YAFONOOB -- skims them off into his hand just before he unravels the string.
I'm so glad that Penn and Taylor actually figure out some of these tricks. Watching these on TH-cam, I start to think that they deliberately don't figure them out just so they don't make the magicians feel bad. But I watched this over and over, frame by frame, and I couldn't figure it out. So you fooled me!
Taylor
He's got jokes, but real talk I'm in the bathroom with a mobile phone right now
wtfpwnz0red what u taking a super cron deuce or what bru?! Hahahahaha
Same here.. Haha
wtfpwnz0red dude I’m in the bathroom lmao
damn are you a magician also!
Same bro😂😂💀
This is true magic. I know the principle, I know what had happened, I replay the footage again and again but I see nothing. This is a level of ability I can only dream about... incredible.
I'm always a little conflicted when some trick performed with technical excellence doesn't fool Penn and Teller because they know the technique, but some BS trick does fool them because the magician purposefully misled them into thinking it was done a different way. I guess that's just the nature of the show, but Javi is one of the most skilled magicians I've seen on this show and I've watched every episode. You can tell Penn and Teller appreciated the execution, even though they knew what was happening. It's like trying trying to explain how an atomic bomb works and saying "so you just collided neutrons so they released a lot of energy." Its true, but there's so much more to it than that.
well at 3.03 you can see that he is fumbling a bit with his right han just before he picks up the first piece of thread, the part where he is getting his other uncut thread in position between his index and thumb so he is ready to give it all to allison.
@@explainet But where did all the individual pieces go once she pushed them all together?
@@walterjohnson8127 if you notice, after allison put it back on the mat, the way he look's at it, he want to pick it up and "pinch" it the right way to separate the individual from the long thread that he had fold in a special i believe "tight" way, so that it would'nt really "mix up" with the other pieces.... if you look close, the big pile he picks up, is a bit bigger, then after he "pinch" the individual pieces away... i was looking trough the video in 0.25x speed to see it....
@@walterjohnson8127 I know what he is doing and when he is doing it but I still cant catch it. He places a second more tightly winded ball of string up into Allison's hands when she is gathering string. When Allison rolls the string she rolls the second ball of unbroken string with the broken string. Its impossible for Allison to wind the broken string as tightly as he prewinded the unbroken string. When he picks up the string he can see the side the more tightly winded unbroken string is sticking out of and pinches tightly the side where the broken string is and just leaves the premade tightly winded ball showing. You cannot see any of the broken string he hides it so well and even switches hands with it right in front of them. This is what he did I dont know if I'm explaining ot correctly but this is what he did.
I saw Javi performing this trick in front of my eyes once in a lecture and it was jaw-dropping. This guy's amazing
I use one of his yt shorts as palming practice drill.
He is one of the greats
At 3:05 he transfers a rolled up complete thread from his right hand to between his fingers along with the rolled up smaller piece from the table. This long thread is what he will eventually reveal at the end. He then rolls the two pieces into a ball and passes it to Alison (at 3:16). At the end, he finds an end of the complete long thread and pulls it out. At the same time, he hides the several small pieces by keeping them squished in the ball between his thumb and forefinger.
The level of skill and dexterity to pull this off so smoothly is incredible!!!
Also, you would almost swear that he never touched the thread at all until right at the end (when he ctually does from 3:07 to 3:15), which makes the trick seem even more amazing; this masterful level of misdirection is up there with the best in the world!!!
Attention to detail, perfect.
*Awesome*
If the video is unedited, his skill in doing this is just what Penn said! Unbelievable switch and dexterity. Top drawer!
These people are in the different league!!! Hats off to Penn and Teller and the performer 👏👏👏
That was absolutely ridiculous!! You sir are amazing. The first time in a long time someone has had my full 100% focus. I've rewatched it over and over trying to see when and where it took place but I still cant see it... BEAUTIFUL!!!
I have to come back to Javi's appearances on Fool Us just because the tricks amaze me and his personality is even more amazing. Thank you for the wonderful entertainment and the joy you bring to those who appreciate what you do.
I've never felt worse that someone did not win than with this trick. It is a masterpiece. Brilliant. Just mind blowing . So clean and beautiful.
At 3:06 the intact string is in his right hand and he shuffles it up to his fingers. He puts it in her hand at 3:16. At 5:06 he separates the broken pieces from the intact ball. Very well done and way beyond my dexterity level.
Where does he even put the broken pieces afterwards? A mystery
@@StefanReich He switches out the broken pieces for the encore dust/chalk at 5:24
Notice at 3:16 is when he puts the string in her hand. He hand her the pieces, but notice he adds a little extra push into her hand. That is when he passes her the complete ball. When he unravels, he is simply separating the complete ball he passer her, with the pieces that she collected. You will notice how large the ball is sitting on the table.
Kevin McGuire I’ve watched it several times and I believe you’re correct, the ball he separated is smaller than what he picked up. Nice catch
He’s palming something. Notice at 3:00 he begins to shift it from his pinky to his index by making air gestures of picking things up. Once he gets it to his index finger he begins picking up and transfers it to Alison. Very very well done!
Let's assume what you describe is part of the trick. Then how do the tiny pieces that she continues to collect after that point disappear from the ball that is stretched out?
@@silascz3535 its a special gimmick magic string that the individual pieces get mended together with the special putty tht he was hidding. Thats why pen was like "you let her do it, you really let her do the magic in her hands" becuase it was risky that she could mess it up
@@orlandorodriguez7235
Your out your mind. Two strings. Separate. This dude is so good, he grabbed the ball with both the bits, and the new long string and pinched them apart right under your nose...
Glued them back together, lol...
I really love the way Penn alway give the guide for whose interested in magician to figure out how it work while not expose the trick.
This is one of those tricks where once you know the method it makes it even more amazing. "lets do the dirty work with no misdirection and the camera zoomed in all the way." Good one sir.
Yes it makes you appreciate the skill and precision.
i think.... he is the most magical & mystic guy of all the magicans i saw for the atmosphere he can create and the attitude he keep....also unbeliveable technics...but the way he perform....simply magic!a ture artist in a magic role.this all is what i want to see in a magic performance
*::SPOILERS FOR HOW TRICK IS DONE FOLLOWS::*
Slip to .25x speed at 5:02
It's a close up of the ball of thread. Follow it close. You can see him only rolling the side he picked up, a very frayed bunch-- not the entire ball.
he's using a small circular motion to "pull" the torn pieces out from the intact ball he added at around 3:07 when handing the torn strings to Allison, who then rolled it all together.
Notice how once he's done, the ball is suddenly is 1/3 the size when he starts pulling on the string, even though he never rolled that part up? The torn up pieces are hidden in between his thumb and index finger which is why he was holding the string between his fingers, and was so particular with how he moved from one hand to the other.
Good friggin trick, man. That was some great stuff!
Apologies if I'm a little wrong on timing. I watched it a few times to piece the trick together on my own.
im pretty sure you nailed it i watched it now and i can see what you mean this trick is so freaking insane holy
DaVeganZombie Thanks, you are absolutely right!
4:33 teller is like, ok come on, finish this i know this trick...
hahahahhaa thats BIG
This is awesome. I love your energy and enthusiasm...it’s contagious. Thank you for this amazing magic!
That energy comes from sharing a little baby with the whole world!
Bro you have the best stage presence, whose lovin it besides me....
Much respect for uploading this with the judgement part.
I love your expressions and enthusiasm in your magic. Very well performed
One of the best in the world, no question
Best trick. He didn't care if they knew how it was done. He has proof now Teller spoke to him. :)
Missed opportunity for Penn to say "This is the best sleight of hand they'll ever _not_ see".
Thank you, Javi! Apart from your astounding skills, I must give you praise just for your performance. The relaxed, almost intimate framing. Like doing it for a family gathering, even if I must understand how nervous you have to be in that situation. To still make the setting so friendly was awesome. I hope to see you again.
What I really appreciate about Penn & Teller is their honesty. They basically said that if Javi had performed this trick at another time he might have fooled them but only because of their intense study did they figure it out. And yes: an awesome trick, I really loved watching this!
"Intense study"... meaning a few google searches : )
@@ChrisS-nj3ye Really? So let's hear the explanation you found on Google.
@@ChrisS-nj3ye 1 year later still no explanation.

Well done, Javi! Really amazing trick! I love your energy and how you seem to radiate pure joy! Cheers!
Penn after literally every trick : "Boy, [compliment]"
Whenever he starts with "We love you" I know they weren't fooled.
Whenever he starts with a compliment, he's not fooled
Well, I doubt they would invite magicians they hate... I have not seen Criss Angel still:p
😅 😅 Very true
I think this is my favorite act that didn’t fool them. Mind blowing experience seeing the magic, and what an incredible personality - you make the audience feel emotions. This magic isn’t a trick, it’s an emotional experience, an engaging story. So beautiful.
Lots of magicians talk about how the story is important, but that’s a method of delivery, to make a logical progression of disbelief. You tell a story that affects people, that tugs at their heart.
3:16 he loads the final unbroken ball of thread into her hand. 5:03 he is inspecting the ball to find the portion he loaded that was unbroken. Once he is confident it is located, he VERY strongly squeezes the ball so the broken pieces are now between his finder and "disappeared". The exposed part is now only the unbroken ball (and half the mass). If you freeze frame, you will see a frame where the broken pieces are behind the tip of his index and thumb. He brings his middle finger down to "roll" it back further. 5:20 the broken string ball is transferred to his other hand. 5:51, string finally discarded.
It's good to see someone who gets as excited as I do about things and does their own little excited dance. Never loose that enthusiasm.
"You in the bathroom on your mobile phone"
Me in the bathroom on my mobile phone: :o
magic!!!
Wtf you sorcerer
Same
Both his performances were the best I've ever seen in this show. No clue how he did them.
zmast333 I loved his card illusion. Total brilliance and sleight of hand mastery. But tbh threads just don’t do it for me.
Dat feeling when Slavoj Zizek starts doing magic
VierasTalo *sniffles* magic is pure ideology
that is absolutely the most amazing trick I've ever seen and I've seen a LOT of them!
jdjeep98 you cannot be serious
@@RaptureReady2025 Well... maybe partly. It was pretty cool, though. Don't you think?
You're the best, I was so excited to see a new Javi video in my thread this morning! I love watching you perform, you are a delight and an old soul! One of my favorite magicians :)
Thank you! I´ll try to make more videos. I´m kind of lazy making videos but I´ll try my best.
@@javibenitezmagic , to be honest, I will take what I can get lol and it can be a pain to make videos. Thanks for replying! :D Hope to see you live someday.
@@billyrigby4839 I hope so too!
@@javibenitezmagic If you ever do an American tour, please post a video about it! I'll be one of the first to buy tickets!!! :D
Spanish mages are no joke. I don't know what Teller said, but he sure fooled me.
He is palming another long string in his hands the whole beginning. Just before picking up string pieces he moves it to his pointer finger and thumb and picks up a couple strands. He gives this to Alyson. All the small strings are on the outside of the ball. When he picks up the string ball he first moved all the small pieces over the ball to the left side and pinches them hiding them. The center string ball is now exposed and he pulls it to unravel.
Clean clean clean. Best hands in the business.
Got to say, you're a dork and it is absolutely adorable. I love your charisma on stage.
03:03 "Grab one of the pieces like this"
It's incredible sleight of hand and his physical misdirection is perfect, but you can see when he makes the move.
@@danieljmoore What move exactly? I was staring at his fingers, and even though it does look suspicious, I don't actually see anything happening. When he hands the string to Allyson, he opens his hand after. If he handed her unbroken string, she also had broken string...so I still don't exactly see what happened.
@@TheEthikos When he's saying "pick one up like this!" He's moving the unbroken string ball from under his pinky/ring fingers to his index/thumb. He then puts that in Allison's hand. Watch how he flourishes his hand. He's doing it while misdirecting with sort of a flippant gesture, throwing his hand up. But thats the misdirect to get the string where he needs it. It's really smooth and hard to see unless you're looking for it. That's why Penn and Teller saw him do it, they were watching his hands.
@@TheEthikos they unroll the string next to, not over the table and the pieces falling down are just too small to see
From Brazil. Estimado Javi. Você tem mais amigos do que imagina. Alguns que ainda não conhece, mas que têm grande admiração pelo seu trabalho. Congratulations.
Gracias! 🙏
So para constar que li sua mensagem...
Penn and Teller know, but they never saw it and neither did anyone else. Javi is off the charts good.
Look at the part when he demo and give Alyson a piece, but actualy on the last move he inserted the thing.. i guess 😁
Loaded a cooler
Amazing sleight of hand
There is an interesting bit starting at about 5:30 as Penn starts to stand up. He is looking at Javi's left hand where the broken threads are,, stops clapping as Javi makes a move with them to his right hand, then he looks at Teller, like "you saw that too, right?" Fooled me till I watched it 20 times at 50% speed and read the comments. Nice work!
The first part was beautiful but that was too obvious. You can see his right hand cupping the switch from the moment he stands up. Easily spotted at full speed on the first go. I was actually expecting the broken pieces of string rather than cocaine.
Very nice. Makes you appreciate the talent of these magicians and of Penn and Teller because we have the benefit of multiple viewings and slowing down the video and even then can barely notice anything.
Teller is truly a legend in the magic world. But what a great trick and method.
The real magic is making Teller speak XD
Caguen la mar, que pasada de efecto! Enhorabuena!
He switches the string in Allison’s hand without her even being aware of it. He has not only mastered slight of hand he has mastered sleight of hand for anyone he come in contact with.
I think this is how’s its done, but I could be wrong. Very nice either way!
tinyman520 I think you might be wrong the only sleight of hand was at the end when he changed it to chalk
I think he switched it as he handed it to Allison. So smooth. Then when he squeezed the ball of string he grabbed the loose pieces, leaving only the complete string. So talented, and to do that up close in front of Penn and Teller is incredible.
I think this is one of the best and beautiful magic trick of all-time in Penn and Teller
That was a great performance!
Best wishes from Finland!
Elmo
Beautiful performance, and you even knew I was watching on a mobile phone in the bathroom. Amazing!
He's really a magician I was in the bathroom with my phone xD
I just discovered your channel and I'm absolutely enthralled. Not only a wonderful trick, but excellent presentation!
3:04 - Sleight of hand right there.
Uncanny. Even knowing Al Baker’s version, I am blown to pieces.
The best trick was in the beginning when he called me out for watching in the bathroom on my phone. Damn magicians.
I figured it out how he did it and made Alyson do the magic...Impressive sleight of hand..
excellent performance..
Dude you are great to watch, I hope someday to catch one of your performances in person. No need to dissect a trick to appreciate the artistry, skill and hard work, thank you for a great performance!
Probably the most serious post-trick conversation the magician and P+T have ever had. That makes me think there was some truly upper echelon magic skill going on here.
Best Gipsy Thread Miracle i've ever seen, Bravo Javi!!!
These magicians are getting better and better and better ...
Beautiful performance Javi. You continue to inspire my own art!
Literally my favourite magician ever
Teller just went "hail hydra" on him. Let's be real here
he still one of the best i think!
Well done! And such a great presentation of the fascination of the art form in such an intimate climate, even though on tv around the world. I felt like a child again! 🏆
Estimado Javi, Me encanta este tipo de majico porque a nosotros, la gente mirando en television, aparece como majico real. Eres un milagro. Gracias!
Everyone's talking about the trick, but I can't get over how his mannerisms are like an excitable puppy. It's adorable.
It's annoying
I had to watch it a couple of times just to see when you could've made the two switches. Even then though, I didn't actually see anything . . . . I just spotted when you performed the swap. Best I think I've ever seen.
What’s funny is that at this very moment... I’m sitting on the toilet right now 😂🤦🏽♂️💯
Same 😂😂🙈🙈
Why everyone is there?,
Including me😱
Wow! What a beatiful and intimate setting, which really exudes the vibe of being at a fun fair somewhere, in a corner and watching an amazing experience!
Javi - I love your energy and you are so talented. I can't to see you back on the stage again :) !
I can see when he does his slight of hand, but it is brilliantly done. His misdirection is so on point that I could only see it upon playback.
Javi, you are one cheeky bastard to do this the way that you did. Amazing! As smooth as it gets. Best Gypsy Thread I have seen.
Teller. Dream killer.
Around 3:10 is where the 'Magic' Happens. (Starts too) I hate that Penn & Teller got this because Mr Benitez did such an incredible Illusion here. Amazing👍. Oh and, BTW Allison, looking so, SO good. 🙌
Blah can you further elaborate? I can see why you chose that timeframe because thats when he touches the string(s) but i really cant see how and where did the other pieces go
If you’re seeing what I’m seeing, then I’m with you on that. I only know a small portion. The rest I can’t figure out.
th-cam.com/video/swRSPzHQBaY/w-d-xo.html
wow talk about bad luck. But still an amazing trick and I still have a huge smile on my face.
The guy is lucky to here Tellers voice.
I chatted with Teller before during their show intermission. Both Penn and Teller. Really nice guys and down to earth.
He has many interviews where he talks. Just because their schtick is having him be the silent partner doesn't mean dude doesn't talk exactly like the rest of us the rest of the time.
@@gabrielsatter Duh! Who doesn't know Teller talks. Too bad you didn't get the pun.
I got chills!! 😳😳
At 1:47 in, Penn knew they weren't gonna be fooled.
I love this. I'm stumped
great performance.
i am proud to saw this masterpiece live
love from berlin, germany
Thanks David!!!
@@javibenitezmagic thank you too
That was very good, it took me so many rewatches to catch what he did.
I know how this trick works.... But I still don't know how Javi Benitez does it. Amazing.
Someone wrote it in a comment :) when you know what to look for you can see it.. 🙂 🙂 Javi is great!
Javi, that was sensational. Congratulations🙏🏽
Thanks so much Vincent! I still remember your performance in Dresde 1997. You’re an inspiration to me.
My favorite part is when Penn sends Teller over to have a word with the guy. Good Magician/Bad Magician.
The fact that I’m watching this on the toilet is great
Beautifully done, a shame they had been researching it themselves :/
I wondered what Penn's reaction at 1:47 was for. Now it makes sense - he realised this was a trick they'd been researching!
Matthew Snart yeah not the same method bud
@@sayless3271 ´Yeah´, Teller doesn´t usually speak.
@@mattjns World-class magicians often do "classic" tricks all the time, such as 3 cups and balls, but render them virtually impossible with completely different methods and mastery. So, for you to compare THIS gypsy thread trick with some random gypsy thread gig you saw a couple years ago... that is screaming ignorance on all levels. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you did not watch until the end, when Penn himself states this is the best sleight of hand ANYONE in the audience will EVER see. Because if you HAD heard Penn say this and still typed your comment, you'd be a real pathological dumbass.
5:55 penn watching his left hand 😂😂😂 that you out that thread in the pocket 😂😂lol
i liked breaking this one down. excellent slide of hand. have a pretty good idea of how it was done. his first trick. the cards. didn't even bother. mind blowing that one.
Nice moves! Simply baffled audience here, watching a legend in the works.
