    Memorization is a big part of Siegfried's trick. He truly has an incredible mind. Since the cards were never shuffled, he set up the deck in a way that only HE knows. This way he knows which card follows which. First Penn selected a card and then he asked Teller to take the next card. But when putting the cards back he again asked Penn to place his card back first and Teller to put his on top. This reversed the order of the original set up. When the cards are separated into 2 piles, Siegfried asked whose card is in this pile. Penn said his. Siegfried knowing how he originally stacked the deck would see which card did not belong. He did the same for Tellers card. A simple way to understand this is, take a deck of cards at home and set them up red, black, red, black. Have someone pick one card and another spectator pick the next. Then tell the first person to put their card back and then the second person. When you separate the deck into 2 piles of 26 cards one pile will be all red except for one black card and the other pile will contain all black cards with only one red card. Of course Siegfrieds trick is much more difficult and you have a lot of memorization to do. Very well thought out and very well done. BRAVISSIMO!

      @TexasEx7 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      @@austinlogan4247 Penn & Teller are assuming that the trick is based on a force - this is when the choice of the card appears random but it was actually influenced by the performer. For instance, when you say "stop" he actually stops on the card he wants you to choose but does it so quickly that it appears to be the card you said stop at. He could do this during the "waterfall" of the cards when Penn says Stop, ensuring that Penn took a specific card he knew would be taken.
      The "force" was a red herring here as Penn truly does have free choice of the card. However, the deck is memorized by the performer and once he knows which card Penn's was next to he then knows Penn's card (and therefore, Teller's card since it was right next to Penn's). It's actually really smart that he takes a peek while Penn and Teller are choosing their cards, using Allison's eye contact as a fake proof that he can't see their card - he doesn't need to see their card he just needs to see where in the deck they chose from!
      If Penn & Teller had asked if he could do the trick again except this time have them shuffle instead of cut the deck, or ask him to do the trick with a deck that they shuffled beforehand it would be a 100% fool me. Instead, I believe he just has excellent memorization skills and great stage presence.

    Wonderful performance!!! Top notch!
    SPOILER ALERT:
    I recognize how this is done because in 7th grade I memorized the sequence of a shuffled deck of cards. Cutting the cards doesn't change the order.
    The card order of all 52 cards was pre-memorized. Cutting never changes this order. He pre-memorizes the sequences of the two stacks the deck is split into. These sequences always remain the same. Any card out of order is instantly recognized when he fans out the cards in either stack. He doesn't have to see the second stack because he has pre-memorized the 52 card sequence.

    Great trick! A waterfall force would be too basic a move. The secret is the separating the cards into 2 piles. Instead of making it harder to guess, it made it easier. He knew which card didn't belong in the pile, because they got put into the main pile in reverse order. Penn volunteered the information of which pile contain his card and which contained Teller's. Once he knew that, Siegfried knew the cards. I'm surprised Penn & Teller didn't catch that. Maybe it's their policy that if they don't get it at the first guess, they concede the trophy.

    Brilliant trick. He clearly wanted Penn and Teller to think it was a forced choice. But it wasn't. I am 100% certain the deck was prearranged in one of those ways where no matter how many times you cut, the only cards out of order would be the one that they chose. He added some diversionary moves at the end but I'm sure he knew what the cards were when he split the pile. Regardless, the effect is awesome, and thought I couldn't do this trick nearly as good as him, it was an easy solve, which I'm sure Penn and Teller would have guessed second.

      Very clever mental misdirection the way he gets you thinking about the positions of the cards in the deck, nevermind that he refuses to shuffle at any point ;) and generally very well done! I wonder if P&T more didn't know how to suggest change of order without ruining the trick for the audience as well? "When I do magic I like to know that everything is right where I expect it to be. If I look and something is out of place, I know it must have been moved by someone else." maybe with some fluff?? Or maybe the closeup stage presence genuinely distracted them and they thought something about the waterfall would be more important..

    The deck is not shuffled, he have a periodic order inside it (that order is not ruined by cuts or separation card by card), but the order was irreversibly compromised when the first card (pen) was putted below the second card (teller one). So when he takes a look to the (un)shuffled deck, he can recognise the cards because they are the ones not in order

    He had the cards in an easy to remember order (ex: the CHaSeD arrangement, though in this case it would have to be a different arrangement as the end of the trick would cause CHaSeD to result in black and red piles) then when Penn and teller pick cards, Penn selects first (so his card is on top of tellers), teller second, and then penn’s card is placed back first making his now below tellers so they are reversed in the order. Cutting the deck does not shuffle a cyclical order, the cards are always in the same order (think if you laid them out in a circle). Then when he divides them, two cards will be in the opposite piles due to being switched; those are Penn and tellers cards
