Funny stuff, Brian. I'm not sure if you fooled anyone in the audience, but it was entertaining to say the least. This exposure surely can't hurt your business.
Brian Brushwood Awesome act. Had me cracking up, anyway. Been waiting for this since I saw the first trailer for the show and somehow managed to spot you in it. (Blink and you'll miss it. lol)
This is my absolute favorite performance on Fool Us. Brian is just incredibly humble and fun, he was able to keep the entire performance moving fast and cracking us up.
he really is. He just has the charisma and honestly 90% of the people there I know the tricks so I can care less if they show it again and again what's important is the whole show around it. Brian Nailed it
I love that the show isn't just, "Yeah, we know how you did that, you idiot!" They approve a good act, form, showmanship. Basically saying, "That was fun!" ...Best talent show format ever.
+SomeNiceMovies One can never know.... There are too many mysteries in this world that could not be explained by science or reason. However, the "Real" magicians would be keen enough to hide their abilities.... So yeah.... Any magician you see or hear of is only using tricks, illusions, etc.
SkylordProductionz to know that penn and teller respect your craft! It's a great feeling having those you look up to have great things to say about your craft!
See, this guy understands how this show works. He wanted to do a nice act, probably one that they're familiar with, and do it well. He understood the likelihood of them knowing how the trick was done and respected their description and even added to it when he ate the bill at the end. This man has charisma for days. I would love to see him do a full hour+ act. He has the same "it" factor that Penn and Teller have. Where you're watching illusions but laughing the whole time. It's a delight for your brain. Where both your sense of intrigue and humor are triggered while you witness this guy's amazing performance. I love shows that do that. He's the type of person I hope makes it, because he seems like a genuinely good guy with a respectful demeanor not to mention his abundance of talent. What else could you ask for in an entertainer? I don't know if Brian will ever see this comment but I wish him all the luck in the world, he deserve any and all success he may achieve.
Scam School If this is Brian, first of all, AWESOME, OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD! *Pees himself with excitement* Secondly, you are very welcome. I meant every word of it. Keep up the fantastic work, Sir.
Such a fun performance. Brian picked this knowing full well that any magician knows how it works. Zero chance of "fooling" Penn & Teller. But, that's not the point. The point is absolutely everybody had a blast. Awesome job, Mr. shwood. ^^
you don't have to explain anything to anybody, if you have the money in your account, just ask or just tell the teller that you and your buddies are going to see their mom perform
Michael S yeah, I wish they would have shown the serial numbers both before and after (they did match), but maybe that was a bit too tedious and would have slowed down the comedy. Good enough either way.
+Donald Warren (Duckerdoo) My god, the nostalgia shivers you just gave me.. Foolish Power Pirate! Your porcelain parts will be sacrificed to, um, Bob, the Lord of the Seas!
Hey guys-- thanks for all the kind words on my performance. If you dig this stuff, take a second to check out my brand new series "The Modern Rogue" at th-cam.com/users/modernrogue ...Bet you a dollar you love it. -Brian
I love you chose a trick that they do! I was like "I'm not even going going to _try_ to fool you. I'm honoured to perform for you" And a great performance it was.
Right at the end: “Could you have made it work with YOUR NAME as well, or just Sean’s name?” And so he eats the bill to remove the evidence. That in fact, Sean told the truth when he said “your name” is on the bill.
Teller's letter to you has been the foundation of my approach to music oddly enough, and it's so great to see you perform for them. In a larger sense, it seems that in Scam School you've really found the voice you said you were looking for, and you are one of the greatest living magicians, not for any routine or trick, but because you've found a way to really share the experience of making magic with all of us in such a positive and fun manner. THANK YOU.
Rewatching for the hundredth time and still can't get over when teller gets up out of his chair to applause brian when he eats the bill. that's such a teller move to clean the table
@@paulolazaro3433 it's a joke because the psycic surgery trickery was very popular in the Philippines and possibly originated there. Edit:except they weren't doing magic tricks, they were telling people it was real and they were really cured from whatever ailment they had
Old times in philippines they fooled people doing this trickery by pretending curing poor people paying them small amount of money which almost all what they have. Now f only they realized they can fool rich people and entertain them and them go home smilling.
@@kitsunekid16 I guess that's from the animistic side of our culture with our ethnic groups, which y'know, its a cute joke. xD Sadly my mom is a doctor that studied here and she's one of the best physicians I know, so the joke was kinda meh. She may not be like a rockstar surgeon like how western pop culture depicts a "good doctor" would be, but she has treated patients that all the other doctors she works with werent willing to help. The best type of doctor is the one that will put so much effort into making sure you get better. AND THAT is a sense of duty that was taught in our culture during her time.
HOO - DINI Wow, good eye. I'm very glad he didnt though. Could you imagine the humiliation he'd've felt? Sure as a professional performer he can take humiliation but to have it happen when you are performing in front of your idols. That'd hit hard.
WOW, haven't watched your videos in a while. I was here back when you had that spikey haircut and way less subs! Nice work Brian, keep it up, I love your personality and content
hey i just want to say great preformance there. it was absolutley amazing. i just want to say that i love magic tricks and you are the reason why. thanks for everlasting entertainment (and im just a kid but because of how the show is) free beer!
Wow!! I absolutely loved this! I just wanted to take a second to thank you for being a inspiration to me. O started watching your channel 3 weeks ago and since then I have been infatuated with card tricks / bar tricks! You have brought great joy to me and my mother. My mom is a paraplegic and she isn't happy a lot but when I show her the tricks I've learned from your channel it makes her laugh and wonder how it's done. So thanks! Keep it up we all want more!
because that is literally "my name" if something said the words "my name" and someone asked you to read what it said, you would say "my name" because thats exactly word for word what it says
This is the first act I've seen that I forgot that I was trying to figure out the trick. This was so enthralling and entertaining that I unintentionally was just watching and enjoying the ride. Excellent showmanship!
Until the end when Teller revealed that he had a trick at the end, I thought the trick was at the beginning. I thought that the top bill of every stack had the same serial number as the real dollar he had stashed in that baloon. Because he specifically asked Sean to take the top bill and not just a random one.
The trick is easier than that. Ask the crowd to remember the serial number at the beginning, then at the end have them recite it back to you and say "Wow, it's the same number!"
@@Condemned782 The bill at the end doesn't say the participant's name. It says "your name". Brian asks Sean "Is that your name printed on the bill?" Penn asks "would it work with your name too or just Sean's name?" which prompts Brian to eat the bill.
I just think that the dollar bill he pulled out at the end literally said "Your Name" on it. He asks the man of it says your name on it. The man can't honestly say no. That's my theory.
No, if he didn't want to cooperate, he wouldn't go along with it and the trick would fall apart, and P&T strictly forbid audience plants, which they verify with the consultant. Come *on,* y'all.
Erik Davtyan He isn't his biological son. But at the beginning of the first Scam School book he mentions how he (Brian) wrote a letter to Teller. Teller later got back to him saying that Brian was his bastard son. Aaaand, that's how Brian got inspired.
I love Brian Brushwood, he seems like a guy who really enjoys what he does and his Rev3 show was something I looked forward to regularly. I have a theory on how this is performed tho: The top bill on each stack in the briefcase has the same serial number and they're all fake bills that are edible. He has an extra one of these bills with the same serial number in a premade bag. On the bill he writes something like "your name" and asks the audience member to verify "your name" is written on the bill. Scam School taught me that social engineering is often one of those things that makes you look at Brian and be like "that son of b***!!!"
I think you should come up with a trick that has the same setup, but the reveal is somehow in the pack of one's you gave to Penn. That would have fooled me definitely.
Hi Brian! I don't know if you remember but three years ago you came to my college in Vermont. Johnson State College! Your awesome! and your tricks were totally cool and gross :) It was so cool being able to see you live.
+Mariah Olmstead heck yeah I remember! We got in a day early and Jon and I played disc golf. The TV gig messed things up the last couple of years, but I'm scheduled to be back this year... you coming?
Scam School Naw. Sadly I can't afford to go to Johnson anymore. However I'm a theater major and I'm moving to FL to persue acting. TV or movie acting is my dream right now
I mean he even walked the audience through it all, he told them the acts, showed all the props and included all the audience. He even showed the balloon he used to hold the blood.
+Dakota MacGowan youve never seen surgery live on tv? channel 4 in the uk has done it a few times weve seen live open heart surgery live brain surgery and even live boob jobs and rhinoplasctis im not even joking go look it up
Jack Sainthill what? serious go watch it its not even remotley as gross as youd think its actually verry interesting to watch how various surgeries are donetheres nearly no blood cause well there surgeons and know what there doing and its editied so it just jumps in at the point where theyve made the incision the cavity is open and continues from there where after that your just staring at the guys heart go watch its a good show
KYLE REES Yes, we all know about genuine surgery carried out on TV for the furtherance of viewers' enlightenment on medical procedures, thank you. However, here that practice is a non-sequitur which only you seem to have considered worth mentioning. Everyone else here has been talking about an event that occurred as part of a stage magician's performance, not anything to do with a real operation.. I ask again, what is wrong with you?
I actually watched brian on penn and teller fool us and then saw him on the king of random. Then I watched modern rogue years later. The guy is fantastic and I remember clearly saying "as if you wouldnt put this guy in your show anyway" Thanks Brian. You are great.
AverageSqueaker He lost a bunch of weight. When they filmed this, he had a lot of extra skin on his face... it's gotten better and firmed up some since then.
The top note on every stack of bills was a fake note, the rest of the notes were real and able to be examined by Penn and Teller. The top bill was also identical on every stack so that the trick would work no matter which stack Shaun chose. Note that he doesn't ask Shaun to pick any note he wishes from the stack, just the top one. As for the note at the end having Shaun's name on it, it is not as most people in the comments suggest and it says something like "your name" on the bill or something like that. The magician had an assistant back stage who had an identical copy of the note and simply wrote Shaun's name on the note when he heard it and the note was brought in along with the medical table. Simple really.
I've been listening to the World's Greatest Con podcast for about a year until I realized you were the host. Just didn't place the voice. You sound different. Love the podcast!
+Scam School At the very end when you took out the dollar bill, you didn't show the serial number. Only showed the name. Psychic surgery is also a technique used by Penn and Teller. Even though it was easy to figure out, it was a pretty well performed trick.
Some years ago, I was on Ft. Carson to attend Army training for a very mundane subject. While there, a massive, multi-day blizzard set-in forcing the class to be cancelled. However, I was still on orders for the duration, and had nowhere to go because of the weather. So, I sat in my room for a week watching Scam School. And so began my journey into magic tricks, sleight of hand, and lock-picking.
Well, the show is filmed in Vegas. Matt could easily be there. He looks a lot like Matt, but not exactly; maybe just studio lighting. Only way to know for sure is if Matt himself replied.
This was such a blast. Performing live for my heroes.
Awesome!!!!! You continue to inspire!

Stage charisma makes or break any performer, especially a magician. That's what transforms Brian from a decent magician to a pretty darn good one.

No, if he didn't want to cooperate, he wouldn't go along with it and the trick would fall apart, and P&T strictly forbid audience plants, which they verify with the consultant. Come *on,* y'all.
I watched his show way back on scam school and loved it. Was super happy to seen it
Did you talk with Teller at the end of the show? I mean, you are his son, right?
Errrrm... no
Erik Davtyan He isn't his biological son. But at the beginning of the first Scam School book he mentions how he (Brian) wrote a letter to Teller. Teller later got back to him saying that Brian was his bastard son. Aaaand, that's how Brian got inspired.
TheWakimaniac well... The more you know.... :)
+TheWakimaniac Teller Brushwood
Ha ha... "balloon"
I love Brian Brushwood, he seems like a guy who really enjoys what he does and his Rev3 show was something I looked forward to regularly. I have a theory on how this is performed tho:
The top bill on each stack in the briefcase has the same serial number and they're all fake bills that are edible. He has an extra one of these bills with the same serial number in a premade bag. On the bill he writes something like "your name" and asks the audience member to verify "your name" is written on the bill.
Scam School taught me that social engineering is often one of those things that makes you look at Brian and be like "that son of b***!!!"
Awesomeness. ..Brian you have a gift. thanks for your hard work on the Vids. we love them
+Richard Foerster Thanks, richard!
I think you should come up with a trick that has the same setup, but the reveal is somehow in the pack of one's you gave to Penn. That would have fooled me definitely.
I love how Brian still responds, amazing performance , great trick and brilliant idea to use psychic surgery as a presentational tool
Hi Brian! I don't know if you remember but three years ago you came to my college in Vermont. Johnson State College! Your awesome! and your tricks were totally cool and gross :) It was so cool being able to see you live.
+Mariah Olmstead heck yeah I remember! We got in a day early and Jon and I played disc golf. The TV gig messed things up the last couple of years, but I'm scheduled to be back this year... you coming?
Scam School Naw. Sadly I can't afford to go to Johnson anymore. However I'm a theater major and I'm moving to FL to persue acting. TV or movie acting is my dream right now
"Why'd he ask for a guy?"
A bit later
"Oh, yeah, better safe than sorry".
I mean he even walked the audience through it all, he told them the acts, showed all the props and included all the audience. He even showed the balloon he used to hold the blood.
I know that he knows that I knew that he knew that they knew how it was done.. XD
***** indeed you and we and they did.
if u pause and look at 6:00 you can see that the guy does not in fact have a hole in his stomach
No shit, I thought I watched surgery on live tv for a second.
+Dakota MacGowan youve never seen surgery live on tv? channel 4 in the uk has done it a few times weve seen live open heart surgery live brain surgery and even live boob jobs and rhinoplasctis im not even joking go look it up
+KYLE REES
+Simon Something
What's wrong with you two?
Jack Sainthill what? serious go watch it its not even remotley as gross as youd think its actually verry interesting to watch how various surgeries are donetheres nearly no blood cause well there surgeons and know what there doing and its editied so it just jumps in at the point where theyve made the incision the cavity is open and continues from there where after that your just staring at the guys heart go watch its a good show
KYLE REES
Yes, we all know about genuine surgery carried out on TV for the furtherance of viewers' enlightenment on medical procedures, thank you.
However, here that practice is a non-sequitur which only you seem to have considered worth mentioning.
Everyone else here has been talking about an event that occurred as part of a stage magician's performance, not anything to do with a real operation..
I ask again, what is wrong with you?
I actually watched brian on penn and teller fool us and then saw him on the king of random. Then I watched modern rogue years later. The guy is fantastic and I remember clearly saying "as if you wouldnt put this guy in your show anyway" Thanks Brian. You are great.
Is that what Penn looks like now?
AverageSqueaker He lost a bunch of weight. When they filmed this, he had a lot of extra skin on his face... it's gotten better and firmed up some since then.
AverageSqueaker no, thats fake
AverageSqueaker That's the magic.... of weight loss.
Hmm..That's,great,I guess.
AverageSqueaker Is that what Pikachu looks like now?
"Shwood" kills it every time. Love his stuff.
Despite knowing how its done before it was even half over, i loved your performance. Truly a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed this.
I loved scam school. Haven't seen It in so long
you should get caught up! lots of good stuff these days.
isnt this the same trick that you guys did by burning the dollar bill :3?
Brian is the man! Great performance and personality!
I love the respect and mutual admiration between him and Penn and Teller. What an amazing magic community.
That's awesome you got to go on Fool Us! :D
thanks!
You did a good job dont listen to the haters , you are my idol 🙂
Thanks, man.
I swear i looked for this literally two days ago and only found an edited down version. Yet this somehow shows up in my feed lol
"well played, rogue. well played."
-confuscious
wow! Brian your show is great but it doesnt do justice to how wonderful you are on stage!
+LiveForEver Thanks!
I remember watching this on tv and then going straight to TH-cam to watch more of you. Still enjoying watching you.
Brushwood's not rocking the spiked hair anymore? Guess he can't steal my soul now. Hope you got a ton for Joshs soul!
The top note on every stack of bills was a fake note, the rest of the notes were real and able to be examined by Penn and Teller. The top bill was also identical on every stack so that the trick would work no matter which stack Shaun chose. Note that he doesn't ask Shaun to pick any note he wishes from the stack, just the top one.
As for the note at the end having Shaun's name on it, it is not as most people in the comments suggest and it says something like "your name" on the bill or something like that.
The magician had an assistant back stage who had an identical copy of the note and simply wrote Shaun's name on the note when he heard it and the note was brought in along with the medical table. Simple really.
One of the first channels I ever watched...awesome to see on Fool Us all these years later!
I didn't know that show exists. Going to have to start watching it.
TroutOfOrder www.tv.com/shows/penn-and-teller-fool-us/episodes/ full episodes here: 1 and 2 are already out :)
TroutOfOrder YEah this is the new US version
The British version has a lot of episodes and was great!
goemon4 Did the British version have different magicians?
TroutOfOrder
Yes! This current season on the CW is a whole new season
TroutOfOrder they have different magicians like 3-4 every show trying to fool Penn & Teller.
Brian, YOU DID AWESOME :D
+EzioGold :3 Thanks!
I've been listening to the World's Greatest Con podcast for about a year until I realized you were the host. Just didn't place the voice. You sound different. Love the podcast!
holy crap it's Brian from Scam school. I watch that Web series religiously. got a lot of free drinks because of him
:-D
yeah i realised that too
That guy is just awesome
+TheLastUltra thanks.
+Scam School At the very end when you took out the dollar bill, you didn't show the serial number. Only showed the name. Psychic surgery is also a technique used by Penn and Teller. Even though it was easy to figure out, it was a pretty well performed trick.
Man I look back at this video every other week just to confirm how awesome it was, good job scam school
I like your style.
+Scam School looks like you come back to see this video aswell,
+Scam School but seriously...
How'd you do it.
Awesome job Brian, you stage persona is so confident and awesome......my fav part was the ending....shit evidence!...NOM NOM NOM
+ian3314 glad you liked it!
Great act. There is also no "C" in "Penn & Teller"! 😊
Some years ago, I was on Ft. Carson to attend Army training for a very mundane subject. While there, a massive, multi-day blizzard set-in forcing the class to be cancelled. However, I was still on orders for the duration, and had nowhere to go because of the weather. So, I sat in my room for a week watching Scam School.
And so began my journey into magic tricks, sleight of hand, and lock-picking.
All My People From Austin,Texas Stand Up
Stands up
Scam School I stood up too.... Sweet
2:33 center of the frame. Dude looks like Matt Farah.
+atsernov Wears a pair shades just like him as well.
+atsernov I didn't think anyone else would notice lol
Well, the show is filmed in Vegas. Matt could easily be there. He looks a lot like Matt, but not exactly; maybe just studio lighting.
Only way to know for sure is if Matt himself replied.
Holy shit, I thought it was just me!
Nope! Not just you.
Well he definitely got them to smile! Love to hear that they were already a fan of your work! Brian you have done it again! Outstanding performance
We want more episodes of Hacking the System.
Badass show
