    The best sponge ball routine I’ve ever seen but I can’t get over the fact that he looks and sounds like Adam Sandler playing a part.

    One of the best routine I've seen on Fool Us or just in general. No convoluted tricks, no constant misdirection with useless props and jokes, just a simple trick well presented that feels like real magic. I loved it.

    the routine is awesome. the script and the effect is nowhere else to be seen. but... teller was 73 years when this was filmed.. and watching at his face, even taking into account all he knows about magic, but seeing his face, being able to be surprised once again... priceless. gabriel, you're one of a kind

    I definitely saw some of the transfer moves from under the table or below the table, where we couldn't see. But, even so, the routine is difficult to figure out and it is genuinely amazing at times. Even if you see one of those moves I can't explain most of the routine at all. Its very good.

    WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ROUTINE! Sponge balls are so accessible for beginning magicians, to the point that I feel they are so under appreciated. I had no idea they could be this amazing, though! The script and the effects and the magic are all so well in sync. The way everything is connected from moment to moment and forwards and backwards is so masterfully crafted. I LOVE this routine. Bravo!

    What I like about the Fool Us trophy is that it actually means something, they don't give them out to just anyone, P & T are an excellent pair of judges as they are extremely experienced. It's a good competition. I'm so glad this close up magic is making a comeback, for so long the big grand magic was popular but there is nothing to magic that uses stooges and camera tricks.

      Exceptions prove the rule. Why did Penn reassure viewers that he had asked the producers if they had "made adjustments" there? Because producers make adjustments from time to time and you can find several such "adjustments" in FU !!! In this case, there were no "adjustments", because shellfishers with sponges are very good even on the street when they rob. :)

    Great concept for a show+for what makes certain episodes gold is finding out that Penn and Teller are still kids at heart. Sure sure they are not fooled very often but they like to be fooled no matter that funny p e n n pretending all that fake professional jealousy. I imagine every so often they love being taken back to that wonderment and all and scratch my head aspect of being a kid not being able to figure it out. As for the routine not perfect reading the comments from amateur magicians here they apparently saw that the routine wasn't completely seamless but for someone who isn't even on the level of a good amateur and who doesn't spend the entire routine trying to figure it out this one was as mind-blowing as the top 10% of routines on this series of fool us ever.
