- Miranda Allen and Sarah Emslie on Penn & Teller: Fool Us Season 7 Episode 04.
Miranda Allen is handcuffed, wrapped in chains, and submerged in an oak barrel overflowing with red wine. The lid is secured on top with 35 pounds of chain and a maximum-security padlock. There is no light, and no air.
"You inspired us" - Penn Jillette
Sarah's patter and reactions really help sell this. Bravo.

I just love this show. They don't throw anyone on that stage but world-class acts. Nobody gets on there just to be shitty like on most American Idol clones. It's just quality, quality, quality and the judges are just fans of magic.
This might just be the best escape act i've ever seen. And i agree with penn, the friendship just adds that extra layer. Suddenly you don't just empathize with the person in the barrel, but also with the person locking the chains. A person we can see through the whole trick, who's feeling exactly what everyone feels, engages with the audience, it's brilliant.
And yes, i watch lockpicklawyer, i watch fool us, i watched breaking the magicians code, i know a lot of the tricks. But still, watching it takes my breath away. Creating that emotional connection is the real magic in this trick.
Has anyone else watched too much LPL and scoffed when she called that lock "maximum security"?
I just watched this video on another channel last night and was thinking what the hell is she doing with that pick
She picked it by just putting a pin in the lock and spinning it didnt have to tension pick or anything.
No click on three but if I put the pick all the way to the back of the keyway....
Yep.
@@douglas.turner Yep, he's fun to watch. "Maybe we can just rake it."
The sweet sincere appreciation of his review is touching.
One of the most visceral escapes I've seen. Something about the hands struggling at the lock that makes it so much more real. Really great show.
That’s a lotta words for, “the locks have no pins”
@Jamie c You've got serious talent. I'm picking locks in a calm and relaxed environment. You guys doing it in a confined space, underwater, timed... That's amazing.
@@JeepinBoon nah, the locks are rigged. So are the cuffs. When she acknowledges P&T know how it's done that's what she means. This particular escape is more about the increased stakes of friendship, that's what makes it unusual.
I realize the patter about the supposed danger of the escape is part of the act, but every time I’ve ever heard them speak about this P&T have always made it perfectly clear how much they detest any act that would actually puts the performers into any true danger (the word they most often use is “immoral”).
This, of course, in no way diminishes the thrill and brilliance of the act and its presentation. Good job.
Escapism is not my favourite type of magic, but this was amazing, the acting, the timing, everything contributed to make it feel perfect.
The way you presented this was beautiful, I couldn't help but tear up at the end. Thank you.
Likewise!

This might sound weird, but watching Sarah just stand there waiting was the most intense for me. I understand this is an act, but there is still a drop of truth to it; even if the act is 99% safe - there still is the possibility something could go wrong - so when she stands there, there is part of the fear that's true.
I've been watching your stuff since I saw you perform as Tianna in Edinburgh years ago. Massive congratulations on getting to go on Fool Us! What a beautiful escape as well - like the guys said, it was perfect, and had so much drama and feeling to it. I hope that getting this TV spot does good things for your career :)
Aw thank you Andy.
@@mirandafallen we haven't heard from ya in a while? I love your escapes not behind a sheet all real!! Straight jacket mailbag escape let's c how quick you can do it! Well done again on your escapes. I'm one of your sub's. Hope we c it soon.
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you for this.
Great performance thanks for sharing.
Holy crap!!!! This is amazing. I've been loving watching you get ready for this and I'm so impressed!
What a Terrific Act! And beautiful energy you brought to the stage. The duo of wizardly judges should have awarded a special prize to you and your Trusted assistant
I think Penn nailed it when he talked about the friendship angle.
The abject terror (as was mentioned elsewhere, Sarah's patter had a lot to do with that) followed by some awesome "warm-n-fuzzies" absolutely made this!!
Well Done!!!
What I love about this escape is it looks like a pure escape. You did exactly what you said you would do- and we were able to "see" the whole thing. Too often it ends with a magic trick and the performer is in another part of the theater at the end or a curtain goes up so we don't know what happened. You were locked in a barrel and you escaped the barrel. I'm sure there was trickery involved but you can't tell nor do I want to know that. Well done!
Had me sweating from start to end. Bravo, bravo.
Absolutely amazing Miranda & Sarah, such a beautiful act with such a beautiful message. It’s been amazing seeing you develop your training for this act over the internet. Hopefully we can hang out again in the future and cook up a storm in the kitchen again. :)
Simply sensational ! All done with such modesty and comedy to help lift the tension. All he said was true and Miranda and Sarah are perfectly matched in that their sincerity and loyalty is palpable. Well done, whatever you earn should be doubled ! Quote me !
So tense! I held my breath the whole time. Pure greatness.
5:45 pause. I want to say, before watching the rest, having a worried best friend makes this trick better.
I watched this on fool us and then had to find your channel to watch it again. Still as intense as the first time I watched it.
SO AWESOME!! Way to go, Miranda and Sarah - what a fab show and great comments from P&T!
Great job and congratulations! Much love from your extended Edmonton fam.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!! I thought at the start okay here we go curtains are coming that's when I stop the video. We saw a clear escape that was AWESOME!!! Well done for showing everyone!! Your up there as the best!! Love from Australia.
Im not usually a fan of escapism, and because its a well-rehearsed act, I usually have no fear for the performer. This was an exception, absolutely loved it, felt emotional and scared throughout the whole thing. Also loved the contrast between the whit shirt and the dark red wine. Just beautiful performance.
This act was great! Really beautiful work!
I like that they didnt use a stupid latched barrel that they disguise by putting something in the way so you can't see them pull it up.
First off just wanted to say excellent performance! Although like Penn and Teller I too know about how locks work as it is one of my hobbies and I saw some of what "safe and moral" they were talking about. Doesn't detract from the experience of the performance at all though. Just something an escapologist or a locksport enthusiast would spot.
I was on the edge of my seat last night, I was so scared and beside myself and your friend who I see their is a very close connection!
Amazing performance! And the highest of praise. Well deserved too - Congratulations.
Talk about a Dynamic Duo! More, please!
I didn't even realize I was holding my breath! Amazing!
A fellow Edmontonian. Awesome job!
Michael Caine was standing off camera with a stopwatch and axe.
Beautiful performance!
Maybe (guess) the Red Wine was used so you could not see inside the barrel where a small breathing device is and the keys. The first lock pick looked a lot less substantial then the first.
I'm probably wrong. Great Performance.
FANTASTIC! Edge of my seat! I think you WON!!
So the obvious idea is that she had a key and breathing assistance. Notice that she isn't really out of breath when she gets out. Her speech is normal and her breathing is about the same as when she started. ZZZ.
Oh that was great, very nice escape. Thank-you!
most watertank acts you see a huge blanket hide the act, then you know something is smelly, but this is all for real. you know the girl is there all the time, you know she is locked up, and you see her literally try to pick those locks on the barrel. Easy or not. only these factors together allready makes it a nightmare from hell, even if it is an easy construction.
It's funny when her assistant exclaim that she can't drink her way out especially when i coincidentally thought that she could do that to give her more space to breath. Also, how it's just a normal thing in her job to lock her best friend up on a dangerous trap.
The one and ONLY!!!
She had the keys in her wrist bands and oxygen tank in wine
Well done!
I wanted this to be an Actual escape attempt. And Thankfully, it is. Too many times they go for comedy or they appear somewhere else. I would wanna know tho, if escape artists can make it to where when they get out, they would be soaked, but the liquid would disappear! Haha that would be So cool!
Great work! That was fantastic!
Good act, but at 2:06 to 2:08 something went in her mouth. and those chains in no way hindered her hands getting to her mouth. And she really gave the whole thing away when she picked the lock on top of the barrel.
I loved this act!
Better than other escape acts
Good presentation, however, it is a very simple trick, I will not fully reveal how I did, I will only mention that she could not do this trick without putting the barrel on top of that "WOODEN BASE" .. another way of saying it would be that she could not do the trick by placing just the sweep on the floor.
i dont think that has got anything to do with it since the barrel is still full to the brim with wine when she opens the lock. I rather think there is a breathing device hidden in the barrel and that is where you would prefer wine (so a camera can do the overhead shot). weather it to be a tube or oxygen tank i think you can use both but a tube would be easier (just blow the wine out of the tube and than start breathing.). The locks are dumped within a few seconds anyway..
@@madcapx I think one of the key things they said was "under... liquid". implying that she was underneath the liquid rather than in it for the majority of the trick. I suspect there was some kind of membrane in the barrel that she could poke her body through, but would close back up tight enough to keep the liquid above it.
Congratulations, Miranda! Just fantastic!
I'll drink to that! "Rather fruity, with a hint of Miranda!"
Barhma Hat from Australia?!? Awesome!
I suspect the last little bucket of wine dumped in for no reason held the key(s).
That’s just to remove any air pocket created when the escape artist displaced the wine after entering.
Most escape acts don't actually show using a lock pick.
using it in a complete b.s. way. you can't pick any real lock like that.
@@Em4gdn1m because she was submerged in wine, you couldn’t hear her say “nothing on one, going to two”.
@@TokyoXtreme 🤣🤣
that cant be wine, her eyes would hurt like hell if it was.
Her assistant is beautiful.I didn't see any chains because I was to busy looking at her.
Are such comments really necessary? :'(
Nicely done!
Marvellous work! Absolutely spectacular!! WOW!!!
Awesome performance!
Superbe! That was excellent.
I love it. A magic act in which the women have the skill positions, and the men help a little and look good.
Yes it’s very important that traditional gender roles be swapped in the 21st century.
@@TokyoXtreme I think you forgot to finish your sentence with "at least sometimes."
@@victor-charlesscafati No, always. Anything less, and you are CANCELLED.
Little Oxygen bottle with one-way valve in the tank,, the wine is coloured water.
So this red wine bath is the secret ingredient of her glow and success.. Ladies take a note please :p
GREAT ACT,
Awesome act! It was so intense! I loved it.
And Sarah is gorgeous, I must admit...
You cannot pick a lock with one hand.trick locks
You can bypass a lock with one hand. You can also, with one hand, rotate the cylinder of a lock that has no pins in it. Either way, while it may have started life as a maximum security padlock, it certainly isn't one anymore. But that's ok, it's part of the magic.
I'd say this act plays it TOO safe really. The locks and barrel are never inspected. I'm thinking either an air tank hidden in the lower compartment, or an elevator kinda system and sump that pushes the "wine" back into the barrel. Look at how she's lowered into the barrel it's a little TOO straight for her to get up to her collarbone before submerging. Still hell of an entertaining act and the chemistry between Miranda and Sarah is amazing. This is clearly a well practiced act, but I don't think escapes will ever fool PandT unless there was an actual element of danger and they've been very clear on how they feel about that.
The best part was that there was no bullshit "rescue".
This was INTENSE!!
Really beautiful 2 women... wonderful magic trick! I love it!
As a lock sporter, ima just give a wink to that lock picking skill;-). Good trick;-)
They are definitely more than friends
Best friends
It helps if you're as tall as Miranda, since it means your lungs are bigger.
HOW DO YOU PICK A LOCK WITHOUT THE TENSION TOOL?
Look at the time stamp 5:00, the core is already turned
Really great escape.
Omg this is quite literally breathtaking. I stopped breathing the second the lid went on the barrel. Heroic and inspiring indeed!!!
PS Do you drink the wine after? Lol
I think she’ll be alright in a hostage situation
They'd use real locks
That was great except did her assistant really have to stop Alyson from giving her the key like that I mean that was not nice for her to do that cause when she stopped her it felt like she was going to cry (or atleast shed a tear anyway.
Was I the only one who read “heroin death” on the title.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! loved it.
Am I the first to watch?! Just got the notification - I'm on it.
You’re awesome Miranda! I’d love to do a water sub trunk with you.
Superb.
Freaky chicks into chains and red wine? Nice. Also, are those Master Locks with standard cores? That would explain everything.
creep alert lmao
@@aloisys.2257 Hey now, I'm not the one putting myself into bondage on stage. 😉
@@phillipnunya6793 haha fair enough
Click on 1, 2 is binding..
Nothing on one, two is binding... oops... wrong channel
That was hooooooot.
Is that Carbon38 leggings Miranda is wearing?
I think they are. How did you know?
@@mirandafallen It is nice, Well I thought so, not many brands have this high rise waist combined with the shiny fabric.
Looks great on you. Would love to have them :)
fantastic!
Fantastique Miranda!
Love the routine!
That was awesome.keep it up but stay safe 2
Why do I see a czech flag in the background of the introduction video?
Because she's a traveler.
Can it have a clear tank next time?
But with the piranha
Nice
Fully immersed in wine but hair still dry ? well well well.
