You have to give Penn credit for how he treats the non foolers. He treats them with utmost respect and dignity and with positive things to say. This is all evident here,.
Just want to say thank you Steve. My dad is in the hospital and things are a little rough. I was smiling and feeling like a kid again as I watched your act.
I know this is an old video, and I have watched it a few times. The skill involved here is just so impressive. I cannot even fathom the number of hours of practice that must have went in to honing this skill to this level. Super impressive talent, and well as dedication.
This is one of those tricks that isn't going to fool most people since you know exactly how he's doing it (hint: if you think there's a gimmick, there isn't), but it's still an amazing display of a rather unique skill.
Hey Steve I love the act I really want to get into magic and your social study’s teacher mr pitman says hello! Me and him where talking about magic when he mentioned you
The whole time watching my mouth was open just thinking, he's really doing that! Super impressive. Sometimes there is a bigger payoff not being fooled.
I've seen all of these P&T episodes, hence why I'm digging back four years now apparently. This was one of my favorites (except the cups and balls ending...but I don't know how else you would have ended it and it does catch people by surprise despite knowing how it's done).
I'm not sure what Penn was referring to when he mentioned juggling, but to me it seemed like there's something gimmick about the table, every time you stoppe the cup, you put your other hand under the table and took a short break, almost as if you was doing something thru table, a trap door perhaps? but what i liked the most about this, is how clean and smooth it was. i knew you had to swap things, but didn't notice anything.
Penn has said many times before something along the lines of: ‘magic is when you say you’re going to do something, and you don’t. Juggling is when you say you’re going to do something, and you actually do it.’ By mentioning juggling he’s saying that he thinks he’s actually stacking the dice, no trick, just skill.
Hey There! Yes It was nice to meet you on FaceTime! Next time I'm in town Dean said we should get together. Have fun with your magic studies and thanks for your nice comments on my videos!
wait I really don't understand, he says I'm going to have it in position two then puts the blue die in second to last, obviously it will be second, then the last trick he puts in 9 dice and has nine dice stacked after, what is the trick, the very act of stacking the dice, or was there something I missed, cool nonetheless, but I don't see the magic part of the act
I think he was hoping that the guy named the color blue, and that Pen stated that he loaded that color in the cup - then he would have fooled on technicality that he just got lucky
I used to do this as a kid, by myself, when i was bored. I didn't know it was a thing, it was just inconvenient when playing games that required multiple die. Super cool seeing it performed.
But if its just juggling or skill specific & no tricks involved then why is he having that curtained table and why is he getting his hands under the table at times...!!
When he had the guy pick where the blue dice should be, that was the order he fed the dice into the cup - 2 white dice, the blue one, then the white one. While some of the things he did were impressive, they were all just a matter of practice scooping the dice up in a certain order.
Is this really a trick? I know the end must be deception, but is the 'dice stacking' a matter of deception, or of sheer dexterity? Regardless, it's amazing!
haha you didn't do the hard dice stacking trick, only the really easy one! the super hard trick is stacking dice ON TO A STACK. so you slam down your cup onto a tower already standing. the world record for dice stacking seems to be 38 dice. if i wasn't familiar with dice stacking and how exactly it works, this probably would have blown me away. i was hoping you would show the short dice stacked up like pancakes because that would have been impossible. stacking them on edge is the way they naturally want to stack. if you found a way to get them to stack the other way, i would crap my pants
Steve, you could have saved the die color thing. In Japan, green and blue are traditionally considered different shades of the same color. So your blue die technically matched the audience member's choice of green. Great routine nonetheless!
Switching the ending might ruin the trick, but it might be loads better if the bottom of the can was facing towards backstage when you pour it and revealed it still has no bottom
So the thing with the dice cut in half... That's actually the easiest way for those dice to stack. Why? Because the longer surface is getting forced to the side of the cup. Meaning, they all line themselves up naturally short sides stacking, and all you have to do, is not bump them over when you stop. Now I say that's what the dice naturally do, but to move them the right way IS honest skill, but what's actually harder and near-impossible would actually be to get them to consistently stack flat-side down on the table. Also, the top of his cups are clear, so he can just see the top dice and call it out like he's guessing it... Pretty simple trick. Cups and balls tricks though are always impressive to see though, but they're generally all the same when you understand how you do it.

Absolutely- Penn is always very generous with his praise
I love the look on Teller's face. You can tell he really appreciates the skill involved. 😎
Great performance ❤️
Awesome!!
I like tricks with actual skill, highly underrated
Just want to say thank you Steve. My dad is in the hospital and things are a little rough. I was smiling and feeling like a kid again as I watched your act.
That’s very nice of you to say. I’m glad it made you smile. I wish the best to your Dad and you.
Very nice!
I know this is an old video, and I have watched it a few times. The skill involved here is just so impressive.
I cannot even fathom the number of hours of practice that must have went in to honing this skill to this level.
Super impressive talent, and well as dedication.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recognizing all the time it takes too perfect a skill like this. Much appreciated!
This is one of those tricks that isn't going to fool most people since you know exactly how he's doing it (hint: if you think there's a gimmick, there isn't), but it's still an amazing display of a rather unique skill.
I can't imagine how long it takes to learn to do something like this so well. He belongs in Vegas. Lol! Great show!
Dice stacking is beautiful, this video should be top of the charts. What a lovely tribute.
Amazing!! Never saw anything like it and I am super impressed with your talent!!👍👍
Thank you! That's very nice of you to say!
@@bannerline I just think it's fascinating! Hopefully others do as well! I could watch that all night!!😂 Mesmerizing!!
That green background betrayed him, imagine, if the audience member picked "blue", one of the most popular colors :---).
It's unfortunate we don't have more dice stacking acts. This one is amazing
That guy has some serious skills going on there. Nicely done!🎲
This was so inventive and a great change up on the cups and balls.
I am not understanding why this video has on 1k views.....it deserves a million
This is just great! Way to go!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'm watching P & T to see stuff like that
Thanks for the emotions
I love seeing things that are all skill and no trickery.
Welcome back Steve :D missed your videos
Thank you for the tribute. I have likely sent you a message before saying so, but I wanted to say it here too.
I like the ending because the first part is skill rather than magic! I'm so amazed that the can isn't empty!
Wow! Impressive performance.
Have not seen you in awhile! Congratulations on making it on the show! I miss your weekly vids! It was great meeting you at TH-cam space! 👍🏻
Tricks that require actual skill are my favorite. This is so impressive.
Hey Steve I love the act I really want to get into magic and your social study’s teacher mr pitman says hello! Me and him where talking about magic when he mentioned you
*The Moment I Saw Penn Talking Nicely I Understood You Didn't Fool Him, But Man What A Gorgeous Trick* 🤗
*ALL THE LOVE FROM INDIA BUDDY* 🇮🇳❤
Just a great performance!
One comment Penn should have added is how quiet this guy had the audience between reveals. It seemed like you could hear a pin drop!
This is a great act. Nuff said.
absolutely mind blowing act. i love dice stacking and i love magic, this was amazing
That was a charming bit of magic.
What a brilliant act!
No tricks here.... just pure skill!
Awesome my bruh
What a great performance 🪄
Amazing
this act is so cool
The whole time watching my mouth was open just thinking, he's really doing that! Super impressive. Sometimes there is a bigger payoff not being fooled.
Thanks so much! Yeah i was really doing that, and under a lot of pressure on this show. Penn and Teller are great and It was a very fun time!
I've seen all of these P&T episodes, hence why I'm digging back four years now apparently. This was one of my favorites (except the cups and balls ending...but I don't know how else you would have ended it and it does catch people by surprise despite knowing how it's done).
First video of yours I’ve seen and already subbed🙌 amazing performance and RIP Jim Zachary🙏🏽🙏🏽
What an amazing skill.
That was super cool act
Well done Steve !!!
very cool
This guy went on there to tribute the creator. He most likely knew they wouldn't be fooled.
At 6:o7 where is the left hand going?
Anyone know why Penn paints only one fingernail, his ring finger?
Is the reason you didnt fool them simply because with the dice routine there is no trick involved, it's just 100% skills required?
A very nice routine.
I'm not sure what Penn was referring to when he mentioned juggling, but to me it seemed like there's something gimmick about the table, every time you stoppe the cup, you put your other hand under the table and took a short break, almost as if you was doing something thru table, a trap door perhaps?
but what i liked the most about this, is how clean and smooth it was. i knew you had to swap things, but didn't notice anything.

some non foolers deserve vegas theater more than some foolers with fancy gadgets
underrated
Amazing. I watch a lot of these--first time I commented.
Thanks so much for commenting! That means a lot!
Hi steve i saw you in the studio dean face timed me im subscribed and btw ur AMASING!!!!!!
Hey There! Yes It was nice to meet you on FaceTime!
Next time I'm in town Dean said we should get together. Have fun with your magic studies and thanks for your nice comments on my videos!
Charlie Frye does nice dice stacking as well
wait I really don't understand, he says I'm going to have it in position two then puts the blue die in second to last, obviously it will be second, then the last trick he puts in 9 dice and has nine dice stacked after, what is the trick, the very act of stacking the dice, or was there something I missed, cool nonetheless, but I don't see the magic part of the act
6:40 Good trick but I noticed your mistake. The movement shows the audience that they aren't real dice
I think he was hoping that the guy named the color blue, and that Pen stated that he loaded that color in the cup - then he would have fooled on technicality that he just got lucky
its not a fooler just a lot of work and a skill set. Still a great performance
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Good act but he kept reaching under the table in front of him.
I used to do this as a kid, by myself, when i was bored. I didn't know it was a thing, it was just inconvenient when playing games that required multiple die. Super cool seeing it performed.
Hey! I know you!! Congrats!
Hey! I know you too!!!
Thanks Andrew!
But if its just juggling or skill specific & no tricks involved then why is he having that curtained table and why is he getting his hands under the table at times...!!

Regardless, it's amazing!
No deception at all. It's literally just something where if you do it enough you become good at it.
2 Be honest it was a A1 trick and some more ++++
He should have finished with a GREEN dice. That would have been cool.
not playing Yahtzee® with you!
LOL! No one will let me deal the cards in a game either!
haha you didn't do the hard dice stacking trick, only the really easy one! the super hard trick is stacking dice ON TO A STACK. so you slam down your cup onto a tower already standing. the world record for dice stacking seems to be 38 dice. if i wasn't familiar with dice stacking and how exactly it works, this probably would have blown me away. i was hoping you would show the short dice stacked up like pancakes because that would have been impossible. stacking them on edge is the way they naturally want to stack. if you found a way to get them to stack the other way, i would crap my pants

Mfer had me in the first half HOLY.
A little misdirection would polish this trick off
Switching the ending might ruin the trick, but it might be loads better if the bottom of the can was facing towards backstage when you pour it and revealed it still has no bottom
Cool trick but they straight up put the load out of frame… like come on
What was the trick here ??
Sounds like he has dice in his mouth
So the thing with the dice cut in half... That's actually the easiest way for those dice to stack.
Why? Because the longer surface is getting forced to the side of the cup. Meaning, they all line themselves up naturally short sides stacking, and all you have to do, is not bump them over when you stop.

Cups and balls tricks though are always impressive to see though, but they're generally all the same when you understand how you do it.
I liked it but there is only really one way to do this so no real hope to fool them. Glad he got to go on tv I guess.
Why is this allowed on the show? Not a trick?
Fooled me. I thought he was going to pull some dice out of his mouth
There's no such thing as "magic" only illusion
this guy was born to lean over and whisper awesome stuff to people 😏
