FAQs! Hi! This video has been getting some renewed attention recently, so I figured I'd answer the top 10 questions that have popped up in the comments more frequently. 1: What's that 'the ring ain't a thing' business? - Penn makes his guess about the workings of a trick in code to protect the secrets. In this case, he was assuming my ring had something to do with finding the coin, which it didn't. 2: How do P&T know contestants are telling the truth? - Contestants are required to reveal the workings of their performance to a behind-the-scenes consultant. When I was on the show, this was the late Johnny Thompson (someone else now does the same job). The consultant watches the guessing process and, in cases where it's on the edge, makes the call on whether or not a trick has fooled Penn & Teller. There's also certain methods that are excluded from being used on the show, like having a confidante in the audience. 3: So it wasn't the ring. How'd you do it then, magic boy? - I'm psychic. 4: Very funny. But seriously, how'd you do it? - Ok, fine. How much do you know about Horcruxes? 5: Fine, don't tell then. Why'd the barstool move? - The barstool was part of a little comedic bit, similar to the awkward animals, which I used to fill the waiting time with Alyson while Penn & Teller were discussing (that part takes much longer than you see on the show). The comedy bit was then edited out, leaving us with a teleporting barstool. 6: Speaking of Alyson - is she a paid actress? - Yes, that's literally her job. But if you're asking whether I paid her, then no. I studied philosophy, so I really don't have that kind of money to spend. 7: What happened after you fooled Penn & Teller? - I got to go back to Las Vegas to perform as a guest in their theatre show. It was fantastic. 8: I liked your show! - Thanks so much! 9: I didn't like your show! - That's also fine! 10: Where do I go after having watched this video? - If you speak German, you could visit my live tour. If you speak German or Dutch, you could read my books "Du Bist Mentalist", "Kennen Wir Uns" and "Mensenkennis Voor Beginners". One of them is also available in Romanian. Otherwise, maybe check out my TH-cam Channel (some videos are in English, with the others I do my best to add subtitles when I get the chance) or watch my TEDx Talks. 11: Anything else you'd like to say? - Jurassic Park is literally the best movie franchise of all time and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. Thanks for watching & all the best!
Some people don't realize that sometimes Penn And Teller take a long time (10, 15 minutes) before Penn speaks to the potential Fooler and they edit down to about 30 seconds.
In Shawn Farquhar's first time in the show, during the interview he said something like 'Magic is better when it happens in another person's hands', to which Jonathan Ross replied: 'That's what I always tell my wife'.
I tried the strategy where you repeat the trick guessing randomly over and over and keep the one where it works, but Penn guessed my strategy correctly ;-;

T: Do you like milking more, or being milked? A: I like milking more. T: Does your husband know that? A: That's why he married me! See, this one time at band camp...
Actually I think the cleverest part of the trick might be the wearing of the ring and touching her hands before each guess all as a red herring.. KNOWING it would throw off Penn and Teller and he'd win.
Exactly! I knew of that trick before so watching it I felt so proud for noticing it the first two times, and on the third time I saw he didn't do it and was like wait no that's not right, just for it to cut to Penn and Teller seemingly doing the same thing lol
@@nicholasjh1 Was the premise of that tell to be that if she said, "getting milked", then she was more agreeable and willing to be "wrong" or embarrassed?
@@furtim1 I'm sure that was part of it, but you can also program people to certain actions by doing something like that based on which side was milked first etc. People do that kind of thing all the time but unless you know to look for it out doesn't normally get tracked.
@@nicholasjh1 lmao you guys are funny, it's just a trick, no there's no actual "psychological" stuff involved, it's literally just a trick, and a very classical one actually, he just performs it so well that Penn & Teller didn't even notice he was using a very old and classic method.
@@deadvirgin428 Agreed - since Derren brown said he used 'Psychology and suggestion' and the whole NLP thing, I always read comments in mentalism videos of people saying things like 'Did you see how he said left and moved his left eyebrow higher?' - It's cool that people think this stuff could work - and it could about 1 in 10 times - but not for a pro working tables every night, imagine!
I know Timon from doing his "magic" in german shows, he's a phenomenon. More often than not he isn't this confident. Either he had a multi layered success confirmation setup or just acting to cover up. My guess is the first. With more difficult tricks or persons to read he gets a bit more nervous but somehow still nails it so many times. It's really entertaining to watch, i loved every single trick i've seen so far. Keep up the good work!
@user-yb2jm6du8m If he messed up , or it looked wrong, he had an out to cover for it. Even if he failed, he had a way to pull something out of his sleeve that made it look like that was a joke ending and he would come out on top.
@@AR-ey1ur I am assuming he means the paper reveal. In his left pocket his paper says LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT. In the right pocket it says LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, etc. So he just grabs the correct paper. He doesn't have to be right from the start if he has many options covered. But I don't know how that would make him more confident. I assume he does that everytime, unless he doesn't and he was extra prepared for TV.
A person holding out two hands and holding an object in one will typically grip tighter with the hand holding something. Timon looks at Alyson's hands each time. A subtle difference if you're not paying attention but not as subtle to a keen observer. The attempts to influence (ala The Princess Bride) may not be attempts at all, but misdirection entirely.
I think there might be a couple of ways something like this can be performed and Timon, very cleverly, made sure to "show off" the ring during the beginning of his performance, even hitting it with the coin to make it "ding" so Penn and Teller would 100% take that ring into consideration... The trick would always work 100% but the real "mentalism" was applied to Penn and Teller so they'd choose the Coin as the plausible answer instead of an alternative. Great work!
@@blusafe1 you didn't understand what OP meant - they're saying he tricked Penn and Teller into focusing on the ring so they would guess that's how it's done and therefore he would win since it was wrong.
My friend, as a 40 something magic fan, you are the very first "mentalist" that I actually like. Your setup was great, your execution even better. Thank you for this amazing illusion.
ATTENTION!!! Hell is real... Is your heart right with God? We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for our sins. If you will REPENT of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe in the gospel, you will be saved and your name will be written into the Book of Life. Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire... "Salvation Prayer" Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you, to confess that I am a sinner. I have done some things in my life that I am not proud of and I repent of my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that He arose from the grave and that He is alive today. I ask that you forgive me of my sins. I will follow and believe in the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ and I proclaim that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. AMEN.
One of my favorite but also frustrating parts of Penn and Teller is the cryptic hints and speaking in riddles they give to indicate that they think they know how, lol
Penn & Teller were right at the "covered for all endings" part at least. The paper was rigged to open in different ways. And he would have to demonstrate, that the ring and coin are not magnetic or any thing of that sort.
@@Max-eh3gj If my maths is correct, all possible outcomes would have been 16 - not completely undoable, but keeping in mind where you hid each and every specific one could be a little challenging :)
@@pitecusH the multiple card outcomes is not challenging. if the first is left, keep it in the left pockets. if the second is left, keep it in the upper pockets. if the third is left, keep it in the inner suit pockets. then the fourth he would have to influence and do his magic, but he can just remember to put two papers in that pocket with one being left and right, one inside and one outside.
@@pitecusH it's 8 really, because he took the paper out before the last coin reveal, but he still had to have a way of correctly guessing that last one.
I have gone to see some of those mentalists do their show. Clearly I could see how some of them could start a cult or something like that . Glad to see Penn and Teller state they do not like it when the mentalist makes out like they are doing something supernatural
Das witzige ist, dass er Allison zwar nicht manipuliert, Penn und Teller aber sehr wohl. Durch seine Handbewegung und den Ring suggeriert er ihnen ziemlich offensiv, dass der Ring etwas damit zu tun hat, sodass sie blind für den eigentlichen Trick bleiben. Und das ist nicht nur Mentalism us sondern das Wesen der Magie selbst.
Either smartwatch or RFID in hand with proximity sensor that vibrates/signals some other way when it is close to the coin. About the ending - He basically had 8 double-sided cards inside his pocket with all possible outcome of first 3 rounds + 2 variants for final round. He chooses appropriate, "scans" the hands of an assistant and opens the right side of the card.
Ein linken und einen rechten Daumen hoch für die gelungene Einleitung. Mein Vater hatte eine besondere Münze als Glücksbringer. Ich denke ihm würde der Trick auch gefallen.
My guess is that a stage hand with a magnifying sight is looking at Alyson and what hand she places the coin in and signals Timon electronically. He may receive a buzz or electrical sting etc, one or two times, two being right etc.
That was so incredibly impressive. I don't think anyone can do what he just did there. I mean it's one thing to read minds, but to get Alyson Hannigan to say *that* on American National television for a show that is watched worldwide, he really had to have gotten into her head.
Could be a subdermal magnet which lets you "sense" magnetic objects. Definitely one paper for each combination + sleight of hand (probably storing different papers in different locations)
I think the cow thing was definitely part of the trick. Getting to know her tells, which hand was dominant, and making her more comfortable with touch, maybe? Definitely got some sort of info out of it, aside from the thing to do with her husband lol
I think it 100% must be based on communication of some type, from the coin to the human. Otherwise he wouldn't need to bring a special coin he could ask for one from Teller.
So the way I undrstood it from reading another comment is, the two gentlemen sitting are magicians themselves, and if they understand how a certain magic trick works, it does not count as "fooled". However if they think they know how it works, they would not explain what they think the trick was, because that could ruin the magic for the audience. So apparently he suspects Timon might be wearing magnetic rings that tell him where the coin is, and he decided to cover that theory with the weird dad's ring story. But Timon, using his analogy, refutes that claim, he did not use his ring to detect the coin. So they don't know how he did it, so he fooled them.
This is crazy I've never looked this show up on TH-cam and like an hour ago I watched this show for the first time ever on television and now I got on TH-cam and this show just pops up while I'm scrolling through videos
WTF. I hadn't thought of Alyson Hannigan in years... she came into my head about 30 minutes ago when I was walking down the street. Came home and this was on my suggested for you page.
Finally ik how you did it and you have the balls of steel, knowing how you did it it makes the performance even better, this was sick, still my fave act
My guess : 1) he can tell by looking at the closed hand which one it's in. I'd imagine this would be what P&T are guessing about as there would be alot of potential ways to do that -- magnets, muscle movements, something else? 2) he has 8 papers hidden in various pockets for the first 3 rounds. 3) each paper can open two ways for the last one.
That is how i guessed he did it. The coin is huge and if she held it tight like a normal person would it would be obvious to see up close the different hand size
I think people are over analyzing the hell out of this. It's just simple logic and reasoning skills. Potentially with a small amount of deception. That's it. I too predicted which hands she would have the coin in because it's simple once you understand how people think. It starts with the game name, "You don't have a choice." Instinctively, your reaction will be that you do, so already you've been primed to resist whatever is coming. The next set up is placing the coin in the right hand. Because he placed it in the right hand, and she wants to prove she has a choice, she swaps the coin into the left hand. He then takes the coin and places it back into her right hand. That's important, because she's still fighting against the idea that she doesn't have a choice. (I wasn't gonna break this next part all down but it'll help with the rest so...) Her instinct/subconscious desire to fight against the idea that she has no choice would tell her to put the coin in the left hand again. But since he already guessed the left hand, he's likely to pick it again. Thus, his statement about the statistic, that women place it in the same hand again. That reassures her belief that he's going to pick the same hand. But what if he's tricking her? And then the statement, "I'm not trying to influence you right now." comes into play. Whether or not she believes him is irrelevant. It reinforces her decision to place it into the right hand, whether she realizes it or not, on top of it already being likely he'd choose the left. Everything that's happened and been said has convinced her to put it into the right hand, and so she does. When he explains it, he's not lying. She tried to think 2 steps ahead, but wound up back in square 1. Things are simple from there. "The exact same thing" is just insurance to make sure she does it. She tried to outsmart him, by not switching the hand, but again he knows this behavior, the resistance. Last round. This is the only time lying/deception comes into play. He gets out the paper, showing the predictions. But as the other guy said, "the end could've played out differently and you were covered for all of those." That is to say, he had pieces of paper for every set of outcomes but since he doesn't fully know which set will be correct he can't give the judges the paper in advance until he has the right information. Because she picked right twice, she assumes that he'd think she was going to change hands at the end. So she keeps it in the right hand. Telling her it was "the last round" was, again, just to ensure she did it. But what if she did put it in the left hand? Unlikely. However, it definitely was possible. The true beauty of his perfomance was his confidence in his own abilities, because he chose to reveal the paper before making the final prediction, rather than waiting to see if he was correct. It sells the trick. If you don't understand the significance of the paper(s). Anyone can be correct in hindsight. If he by some chance got every single one of them incorrect, he chooses the paper with the exact outcomes that she chose. Boom. "I actually did get all of them right, and I wrote it down here." As for the Cow Test... I'm not 100% sure on what that was about, I don't think it was necessary (it wasn't for me at least) but I think it's as he said. To get to know her a little. If I had to guess, it's purpose would be to determine if she has a dominant or submissive personality. milked (submissive) or milker (dominant). that would let him know if she's the type to give in to suggestion or the type to try to resist it. she chose milker (dominant/resistant) which would tell him that she's going to try to resist his suggestions. but again, that all slipped by me, so idk for sure. It's not so much a trick as it is understanding how people behave and react to things.
@@R.E.E.D. I understand what you’re saying, and mostly agree with what you said. However, no magician is going onto this show with anything but a completely fail-proof act. If there’s even the remote possibility that the participants can mess up the act, that isn’t how it’s done.
Allison is literally Michelle Flaherty. She embodies that character. You all thought she was just really good at ACTING awkward, but realistically, she just IS that awkward. She is amazing for that. She is still beautiful to this day; she is ageless.
By any chance is the coin so big that you can tell which hand is holding it and the answers on paper is based on the binary number system, in this case left or right so you would only need 16 pieces of paper in your pocket and pull the correct one when the trick is done?
@@tomghzellol he was only in his early 20s in this video…he looks young because he still is young, he’s 28 now…your comment makes it sound like he’s 40…Alyson is her 40s.
Hey, good job. That was nice to see you milking Willow for coins and stuff. Where can I find the full version of the episode? I'd like so see the continuation where you fooled Penn and Teller? I'm not familiar with the show so I don't even know where to look for it.
I think he treats ever turn completely different and has a way for each one. I think the third turn, he replaced the coin with a similar one but maybe one that was slightly bigger or smaller.
ich hab mir das video jetzt 2 mal angesehen und ich glaube ich kann mir vorstellen wie du es gemacht hast. dabei spielt besonders der Cow test eine rolle oder? :)

Exactly! I knew of that trick before so watching it I felt so proud for noticing it the first two times, and on the third time I saw he didn't do it and was like wait no that's not right, just for it to cut to Penn and Teller seemingly doing the same thing lol
But the thing is, he told the hand before touching and even wrote it down on a paper in the end before doing anything near Alyson

This man basically "predicted" that people hate to be wrong and will undoubtedly try and manipulate you that they're not.
No he predicted Alyson by doing the cow trick
@@nicholasjh1 Was the premise of that tell to be that if she said, "getting milked", then she was more agreeable and willing to be "wrong" or embarrassed?
@@furtim1 I'm sure that was part of it, but you can also program people to certain actions by doing something like that based on which side was milked first etc. People do that kind of thing all the time but unless you know to look for it out doesn't normally get tracked.
@@nicholasjh1 lmao you guys are funny, it's just a trick, no there's no actual "psychological" stuff involved, it's literally just a trick, and a very classical one actually, he just performs it so well that Penn & Teller didn't even notice he was using a very old and classic method.
@@deadvirgin428 Agreed - since Derren brown said he used 'Psychology and suggestion' and the whole NLP thing, I always read comments in mentalism videos of people saying things like 'Did you see how he said left and moved his left eyebrow higher?' - It's cool that people think this stuff could work - and it could about 1 in 10 times - but not for a pro working tables every night, imagine!
What really woulda sent em in a tizzy is if he had Alyson read the coin aloud and it had "It's not the ring" engraved in it.

I know Timon from doing his "magic" in german shows, he's a phenomenon. More often than not he isn't this confident. Either he had a multi layered success confirmation setup or just acting to cover up. My guess is the first. With more difficult tricks or persons to read he gets a bit more nervous but somehow still nails it so many times. It's really entertaining to watch, i loved every single trick i've seen so far. Keep up the good work!
Maybe he is more confident speaking English than German?
Tf is a multi layerd success confirmation setup?
@user-yb2jm6du8m If he messed up , or it looked wrong, he had an out to cover for it. Even if he failed, he had a way to pull something out of his sleeve that made it look like that was a joke ending and he would come out on top.
@@AR-ey1ur I am assuming he means the paper reveal. In his left pocket his paper says LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT. In the right pocket it says LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, etc. So he just grabs the correct paper. He doesn't have to be right from the start if he has many options covered.
But I don't know how that would make him more confident. I assume he does that everytime, unless he doesn't and he was extra prepared for TV.
A person holding out two hands and holding an object in one will typically grip tighter with the hand holding something. Timon looks at Alyson's hands each time. A subtle difference if you're not paying attention but not as subtle to a keen observer. The attempts to influence (ala The Princess Bride) may not be attempts at all, but misdirection entirely.
I think there might be a couple of ways something like this can be performed and Timon, very cleverly, made sure to "show off" the ring during the beginning of his performance, even hitting it with the coin to make it "ding" so Penn and Teller would 100% take that ring into consideration... The trick would always work 100% but the real "mentalism" was applied to Penn and Teller so they'd choose the Coin as the plausible answer instead of an alternative. Great work!
He states the ring had nothing to do with the act.
@@blusafe1 it had nothing to do with knowing where the coin was, it was still important to the act.
@@blusafe1 you didn't understand what OP meant - they're saying he tricked Penn and Teller into focusing on the ring so they would guess that's how it's done and therefore he would win since it was wrong.
@@juegodynamics oh ok. got it.
How do they know he is telling the truth when he says the ring isn’t part of it? Does someone backstage know how it is done?

Great show - Congratulations!
krasses video mann!!!
Penn & Teller were right at the "covered for all endings" part at least. The paper was rigged to open in different ways. And he would have to demonstrate, that the ring and coin are not magnetic or any thing of that sort.
Or there could have been lots of pieces of papers in different pockets - other then that I’m stumped
@@Max-eh3gj If my maths is correct, all possible outcomes would have been 16 - not completely undoable, but keeping in mind where you hid each and every specific one could be a little challenging :)
@@pitecusH the multiple card outcomes is not challenging. if the first is left, keep it in the left pockets. if the second is left, keep it in the upper pockets. if the third is left, keep it in the inner suit pockets. then the fourth he would have to influence and do his magic, but he can just remember to put two papers in that pocket with one being left and right, one inside and one outside.
@@pitecusH it's 8 really, because he took the paper out before the last coin reveal, but he still had to have a way of correctly guessing that last one.
And if he gets the guesses wrong at any step, he can produce the paper and take credit.
I have gone to see some of those mentalists do their show. Clearly I could see how some of them could start a cult or something like that . Glad to see Penn and Teller state they do not like it when the mentalist makes out like they are doing something supernatural

Das witzige ist, dass er Allison zwar nicht manipuliert, Penn und Teller aber sehr wohl. Durch seine Handbewegung und den Ring suggeriert er ihnen ziemlich offensiv, dass der Ring etwas damit zu tun hat, sodass sie blind für den eigentlichen Trick bleiben. Und das ist nicht nur Mentalism us sondern das Wesen der Magie selbst.
jop
Either smartwatch or RFID in hand with proximity sensor that vibrates/signals some other way when it is close to the coin. About the ending - He basically had 8 double-sided cards inside his pocket with all possible outcome of first 3 rounds + 2 variants for final round. He chooses appropriate, "scans" the hands of an assistant and opens the right side of the card.
no tech involved
I always love coming back to these videos and being reminded the fooler gets a big "F U" at the end

Ein linken und einen rechten Daumen hoch für die gelungene Einleitung. Mein Vater hatte eine besondere Münze als Glücksbringer. Ich denke ihm würde der Trick auch gefallen.
Aber wie? (nicht verraten!) dass es was mit der Münze zu tun hat, wenns nicht der Ring ist, ist mir logisch. Aber wie genau bleibt mir ein Rätsel.

My guess is that a stage hand with a magnifying sight is looking at Alyson and what hand she places the coin in and signals Timon electronically. He may receive a buzz or electrical sting etc, one or two times, two being right etc.
Penn thought there was a magnet in the ring for those who weren’t sure.

That was so incredibly impressive. I don't think anyone can do what he just did there. I mean it's one thing to read minds, but to get Alyson Hannigan to say *that* on American National television for a show that is watched worldwide, he really had to have gotten into her head.

How impressive it is thru the word of magic...they can understand so well...
The ring code means he stole her jewelry and blackmailed her to choose left-right-right-right or else.
I'd appreciate if you didn't go around revealing my subtle secrets.
@@TimonKrause The way I howled at this
He didnt touch her hand for the last one and he already had the paper unfolded
Timon, did you share how you did it with Penn and Teller after the show? Great performance.
Good to see you here.
Alyson was already an actress when I was a teenager (Buffy the Vampire Slayer). She never gets old?
I guess she was a vampire
Could be a subdermal magnet which lets you "sense" magnetic objects. Definitely one paper for each combination + sleight of hand (probably storing different papers in different locations)
Nah it's not a magic trick. he is manipulating allison at every part of the show with every word he says.
Timon, if you don't mind my asking, who are your favorite mentalists (classic or contemporary)
Love how the most watched part is the stool moving
I think the cow thing was definitely part of the trick. Getting to know her tells, which hand was dominant, and making her more comfortable with touch, maybe? Definitely got some sort of info out of it, aside from the thing to do with her husband lol
I think it 100% must be based on communication of some type, from the coin to the human. Otherwise he wouldn't need to bring a special coin he could ask for one from Teller.
The way you lace your fingers naturally is an indicator of which hand is dominant
I would assume it’s to transfer some sort of substance to her hands that helps determine which hand she has the coin in.
Probably also gives a reading as to her general level of compliance
@@LegendLength Yes, it's a radioactive coin and he wear dosimetric lenses :D
can someone explain the end to me pls? i dont know the show. how did he fool them? what all that about the ring and the father?
So the way I undrstood it from reading another comment is, the two gentlemen sitting are magicians themselves, and if they understand how a certain magic trick works, it does not count as "fooled". However if they think they know how it works, they would not explain what they think the trick was, because that could ruin the magic for the audience. So apparently he suspects Timon might be wearing magnetic rings that tell him where the coin is, and he decided to cover that theory with the weird dad's ring story. But Timon, using his analogy, refutes that claim, he did not use his ring to detect the coin. So they don't know how he did it, so he fooled them.
@@chandir7752 ah thanks man.
This is crazy I've never looked this show up on TH-cam and like an hour ago I watched this show for the first time ever on television and now I got on TH-cam and this show just pops up while I'm scrolling through videos
Very cool. I'm pretty sure I could tell how you influenced the 4th time, but the rest I don't have a clue. Very good!!!!!
WTF. I hadn't thought of Alyson Hannigan in years... she came into my head about 30 minutes ago when I was walking down the street. Came home and this was on my suggested for you page.
Google has telepathy now, apparently....
Favorite performance on fool us still
Finally ik how you did it and you have the balls of steel, knowing how you did it it makes the performance even better, this was sick, still my fave act
I like this one as well as many others 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And I got Rick Rolled by a Mentalist, Fooled me as well
The ring was such obvious misdirection that I also wondered if it maybe wasn't misdirection at all. I'm sure Penn and Teller thought the same.
He is quiet known in Germany and often appears in shows, where he tricks the people there. Cool guy
i miss this video and i havent finished watching it yet
Reminds me of that scene in The Princess Bride when they have the battle of wits drinking the poison
My guess :
1) he can tell by looking at the closed hand which one it's in. I'd imagine this would be what P&T are guessing about as there would be alot of potential ways to do that -- magnets, muscle movements, something else?
2) he has 8 papers hidden in various pockets for the first 3 rounds.
3) each paper can open two ways for the last one.
They didn't care about them paper
That is how i guessed he did it. The coin is huge and if she held it tight like a normal person would it would be obvious to see up close the different hand size
I think people are over analyzing the hell out of this. It's just simple logic and reasoning skills. Potentially with a small amount of deception. That's it.
I too predicted which hands she would have the coin in because it's simple once you understand how people think. It starts with the game name, "You don't have a choice." Instinctively, your reaction will be that you do, so already you've been primed to resist whatever is coming.
The next set up is placing the coin in the right hand. Because he placed it in the right hand, and she wants to prove she has a choice, she swaps the coin into the left hand.
He then takes the coin and places it back into her right hand. That's important, because she's still fighting against the idea that she doesn't have a choice. (I wasn't gonna break this next part all down but it'll help with the rest so...)
Her instinct/subconscious desire to fight against the idea that she has no choice would tell her to put the coin in the left hand again. But since he already guessed the left hand, he's likely to pick it again. Thus, his statement about the statistic, that women place it in the same hand again. That reassures her belief that he's going to pick the same hand. But what if he's tricking her?
And then the statement, "I'm not trying to influence you right now." comes into play. Whether or not she believes him is irrelevant. It reinforces her decision to place it into the right hand, whether she realizes it or not, on top of it already being likely he'd choose the left. Everything that's happened and been said has convinced her to put it into the right hand, and so she does. When he explains it, he's not lying. She tried to think 2 steps ahead, but wound up back in square 1.
Things are simple from there.
"The exact same thing" is just insurance to make sure she does it. She tried to outsmart him, by not switching the hand, but again he knows this behavior, the resistance.
Last round. This is the only time lying/deception comes into play.
He gets out the paper, showing the predictions. But as the other guy said, "the end could've played out differently and you were covered for all of those." That is to say, he had pieces of paper for every set of outcomes but since he doesn't fully know which set will be correct he can't give the judges the paper in advance until he has the right information.
Because she picked right twice, she assumes that he'd think she was going to change hands at the end. So she keeps it in the right hand. Telling her it was "the last round" was, again, just to ensure she did it.
But what if she did put it in the left hand? Unlikely. However, it definitely was possible. The true beauty of his perfomance was his confidence in his own abilities, because he chose to reveal the paper before making the final prediction, rather than waiting to see if he was correct. It sells the trick.
If you don't understand the significance of the paper(s). Anyone can be correct in hindsight. If he by some chance got every single one of them incorrect, he chooses the paper with the exact outcomes that she chose. Boom. "I actually did get all of them right, and I wrote it down here."
As for the Cow Test... I'm not 100% sure on what that was about, I don't think it was necessary (it wasn't for me at least) but I think it's as he said. To get to know her a little. If I had to guess, it's purpose would be to determine if she has a dominant or submissive personality.
milked (submissive) or milker (dominant). that would let him know if she's the type to give in to suggestion or the type to try to resist it. she chose milker (dominant/resistant) which would tell him that she's going to try to resist his suggestions. but again, that all slipped by me, so idk for sure.
It's not so much a trick as it is understanding how people behave and react to things.
Or he’s influencing her subconscious via induction. Yeah that’s much more likely.
@@R.E.E.D. I understand what you’re saying, and mostly agree with what you said. However, no magician is going onto this show with anything but a completely fail-proof act. If there’s even the remote possibility that the participants can mess up the act, that isn’t how it’s done.
Allison is literally Michelle Flaherty. She embodies that character. You all thought she was just really good at ACTING awkward, but realistically, she just IS that awkward. She is amazing for that. She is still beautiful to this day; she is ageless.

By any chance is the coin so big that you can tell which hand is holding it and the answers on paper is based on the binary number system, in this case left or right so you would only need 16 pieces of paper in your pocket and pull the correct one when the trick is done?
