      In the first few seconds of the act, Penn literally tells you his definition of misdirection, which, may or may not be different to yours. Anyways the chicken was the misdirection, because you wouldn't normally notice how close to the front of the cage, and how close the back "cloth" is to the chicken. Penn's whole speech on misdirection was to distract you from noticing that.

      She didn't fill the entire cage. At least not in all 3 dimensions. She simply was further to the back at the beginning, then got the chicken and gave it to Teller to carry it away, then went a little forward so that she was at the front so it looked like she filled the cage completely.
      You can see how much the Cage shakes during that time and how Penn tries to cover that up by wildly gesticulating and bumping into the cage over and over again so that it seems hat this is his doing.

    Most people here have noticed that the gorilla was in the cage the entire time, but, if you watch closer, penn is constantly leaning on the box to apply weight to it, and the cymbals are there to mask the sound of movement. He applies weight to keep the box from shifting and moving around on its own, which you can tel by alwatching the golden cloths pieces moving frantically when the cymbals start going off.

      @@matthewclokus7311 that’s what he’s saying, she WAS there the whole time. When you see the chicken, look how close the “back” of the box is to the chicken. It’s a false back and she was behind it the whole time. While he’s talking, she’s moving into position ready for the big reveal, but to mask any movement or rocking he leans on the box so you assume it’s only rocking because he’s leaning on it. The gorilla with the cymbals is a different gorilla!

      yep. there were two gorillas. one in the cage and another with symbols. there was an opaque object between the chicken and the gorilla. the gorilla handed the chicken to teller, along with the blanket separating the gorilla from the chicken. thats why the cage changed when you look at it from the beginning when you couldnt see through to the end when you can.

      Spookyturbo Exactly. Penn & Teller are fantastic magicians not for having the most complicated or difficult to perform tricks. They are fantastic because they are capable of weaving and presenting a story that the audience believes about how a trick is done, only to pull the rug out from under them with a reveal that would be impossible if the trick were down how they make the audience think it was done. Honestly, anybody could easily perform this trick with little training or practice. It's honestly quite simple. Few people would be able to fool or even entertain an audience with this trick, however, because few people have the ability to misdirect an entire narrative built by an audience, rather than just use simple misdirection to distract them.

    (but except the Man was actually a WOman, and he put on a Ape costume)
    So to recap: this trick is obvious: the Chicken was a Wolfman all along; but the misdirection was that instead of a Wolfman, it was a Lady-Chickenape

    The camera cuts ruined this performance. That's the ultimate misdirection.
    PS. Two gorillas, one of the gorillas is already in the box at the beginning. The box is much longer than it appears. There is a dividing plate between the chicken and the back of the box where the gorilla is. When the gorilla appears in the box, the plate is missing and you can see straight through it to the back of the stage. There is actually no need for any form of misdirection in this trick. And that's the point, that is misdirection.

    Wow, what an act! Good job, Penn and Teller. You really know how to make a classic trick more interesting. I always like when magicians use stage props in their acts, especially ones of that size. It is a rather large prop, larger than most can see, at least at first. Wouldn't you agree? It's big enough to hold a chicken, a gorilla or even both at the same time. You speak about misdirection being an important part of this act, and I believe you _simulated_ that quite well, but what people may not realize is the amount of care and patience that also went into it. Wonderful job, Penn and Teller. You didn't fool us, but it's a terrific act. Thank you so much for being here.

Then as Teller is walking pff stage, he outstreched the side of his coat to make it look like he was just concealing the chicken, but he was actually concealing the fact that he was also carrying away the wall

      Well 3 things; he didn't necessarily take the chicken out back (it's just implied).
      Secondly, this may be quibbling but it wasn't a gorilla it was someone in a gorilla suit, while it's semantics and shorthand it does show how the verbal framing works, ie he got the audience already agreeing to incorrect things.
      Lastly, who says there was a chicken? Odds are very high that it was just a quality animatronic (you can spend a lot of cash when you reuse it a lot) - when it's a live animal one assumes they have a lot less leeway for screwing around (assuming they are ethical, which their public image is built on) - it would definitely suit their sense of humor if the actual name sake of the trick about misdirection is part of the joke - ie there is no 'vanishing chicken' because there was never a chicken.

    Penn and Teller-- Timeless Legends! The first act of theirs that I remember (may or may not be 1st time I saw them), had Teller hanging upside down and tied up (straight jacket? I don't know...), with a flame underneath the rope holding him up. Penn recited the entire "Ballad of Casey Jones" as Teller struggled to free himself. The rope was timed to burn through exactly as Penn recited the final words of the Ballad! Teller, of course, freed himself and landed nimbly on his feet at the point the rope burned through! Stunning act! Whether or not that was the 1st time I saw them, I definitely remembered them ever since...

If you look at when the chicken is first shown, the background is purple. When the gorillas comes out, the background is clear. The cage has a false back that the gorilla was able to hide behind and come from out of when the curtin was put down. Im sure others have figured it out, im just happy that I've been watching so much of these guys that I can finally start figuring out their tricks by watching them over and over
