Most coins aren't magnetic. But the signed one is. Also, he pushes down the coin with the same spot he licked. So the magnet doesn't have to reach the sides of the bowl. Hi literally sets the spatula down right on the coin.@@nitedk
clean coz there were no moves to hide. trick 1; 7H at position 34 and position 24 and in the shoe. pick a number between 1 and 4 can only gives the number 22,23,32,33. then draw (in this case) 23 cards with 7H being the next card at position 24. if 22 was chosen, i suspect his out was to not include the joker with some bullshit faf. same if 32 was chosen. trick 2. (new deck - see two decks on the table the start) count 10 cards (white faced) put a Q followed by A. repeat 4 times. then have 4 cards at the end saying "im black gimme trophy" count down from 10 to lets say 7, then count up to 7 = 10 cards each time then Q, then A. repeat 4 times. he can only end with 4 cards at the ends. 1/10 dumb tricks

But some day sooner or later, we'd have to bid farewell. Brooke is doing alright, but seems more professional. Need to get used to her i guess.
Really? That was the least impressive of all the acts for me. It's a self working trick for the most part. The countdown piece will always have you land on the 11th card so that is where the queens are positioned. The aces are positioned every 10th card.
@jasper5016 Since he starts at 10 and counts down, then counts out the number you stop at, it always adds up to 11. So if you stop him at 7 (10,9,8,7) thats 4, then he counts 7 more because you stopped him at 7, that adds up to 11 cards from where he started. It works the same no matter which number you stop him at. 2? (10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2) + 1,2 = 11 etc. Still a very impressive trick to get everything arranged just so.
@@fuhkerz "Still a very impressive trick to get everything arranged just so." you man put the ace and matching queen at positions 10 and 11 and suits in the correct order as on the table! Then you will be amazed watching me sort a deck so all cards are in order!
I was pondering why he used a plethora of quarters instead of a plethora of pennies. I think I’ve procured a possible answer that provides the secret to the prestidigitation. Pennies are made of copper, therefore not magnetic. I think there’s a magnet in the spatula. When he pushes the coin with the private particulars into the pudding the magnetic spatula picks up the coin with the private particulars upon it. While she is pouring the quarters upon the pudding, he partakes of the pudding upon the spatula. Thus procuring the coin inside his mouth. Hides it in his cheek, and after putting his face in the pudding, he produces the coin with private particulars. I ponder if a professional in prestidigitation can procure or put together a pretend penny with magnetic properties. Such a prop would provide the performance with perfect patter. Indeed, Penn’s the “pole to pole” comment seems to confirm the prop with magnetic properties.
@@jjchello no, I think there was a magnet involved. Penn did say “pole to pole”, and there has to be a reason why he used quarters instead of Pennies. Pennies are too obvious. There’s only four widely used coins in American currency, and only one starts with the letter p. He had to have a good reason to not use them. Although, I did wonder after posting that why other coins did not stick to the spatula when she mixed them up. I think maybe there was metal (maybe another coin?) in the spatula, and a magnet on the outside which he stole along with the signed coin. Yes, it WAS dumb. But I think it was beautifully, whimsically dumb.
Last magician, Chris Capehart. I flat out have nothing, no earthly idea, as to how he got the card in the shoe to match the 23rd card down in the deck when he wasn't handling either the bag or the deck at the time Penn & Teller chose a 2 and a 3, and then from 23 and 32 chose 23. I have NO IDEA how that could be done. The BAG with SHOE in it was in Teller's possession from BEFORE the choosing of the numbers, and the DECK was in PENN's possession from before the choosing of the numbers. That may be why Chris Capehart got the trophy. But the thing where cards are counted out downwards from 10 to 1 and a non-dealer can call where to stop is a fixed deal. Say I count "10, 9" and you say "stop". At that point I've dealt 2 cards. So then because you called on "9", I deal 9 more. Well, that's 11 cards down. Alternatively, suppose I say "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5" and you say "stop". I have then dealt out SIX cards. Because you stopped at "5", I deal out five more cards. Well, that's ALSO 11 cards. No matter what Penn & Teller do during this part of the trick, the result is always going to be 11 cards. (It also helps to explain why he will ALWAYS have four cards left for "Master" and "Of" and "The" and "Mind". The number of cards dealt out by the end is always the same multiple of 11, and it always leaves four cards left over.) So, that's a start at figuring out that part of the trick. But getting the 23rd card down to match the card in the shoe? I haven't even made a start and I think neither Penn nor even Teller did. There is often some wiggle-room in such counts. For instance, a magician can say "Okay, it's ten" and count cards while dealing, up to nine, and then lift up the 10th card and it's the desired card. OR, the magician can say "Okay, ten it is" and deal off 10 cards and then announce "so, we've discarded the 10 cards, and now THIS card" (and then he turns up the ELEVENTH card) "is the target card" and it is. So a lot of stuff can be plus-or-minus one. Also, note how few numbers you can pick using the prescribed method: 11 through 14, 21 through 24, 31 through 34, and 41 through 44 are it. That's only 12 numbers. Maybe the fact that only 12 numbers are possible makes it doable.
15, 24, 33, and 41 were probably all the same card. Notice the camera cuts to behind penn so you cant see the cards during the deal once he gets to around number 12 or so.
So many people on here are saying something vague like "the trick is mathematical, and obvious and dumb". None of these people have any idea how he did that. No clue. Zero.
the second part of the trick IS obvious and dumb, of course if he counts down from 10 to 10 - N cards, then after you stop him he removes the remaining N cards, he'll always show the 10th card no matter when you stop him.... As long as you put the aces in 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th position the "trick" works by itself. I'm sure most people probably got in on the first watch if they were paying attention The first part of the trick is pure sorcery tho, because with their method of picking a number, it could have been 11, 12, 13, 14, 21, 22, 23, 24, etc. and we saw that none of these cards were the 7 of diamonds. This one blew my mind
19:15 - I agree with the Commenters that John Lewit's use of a trick coin (handed to Brooke rather than picked at random by her) with an iron core and a magnet in a spatula to move the coin to his mouth was the easiest trick to solve that I've EVER seen on this show, so easy that it's perhaps a bit puzzling as to why it got on the show. Well, there's the comedy-angle of the green pudding. Also, John Lewit is a local person. Penn & Teller operate from very complex motives. They may have owed John Lewit a favor or though it advantageous if HE were to owe THEM a favor. He's a local, so maybe they just LIKE him and booked him for that alone. He may have saved a kitten's life, so they have him on their show. These two (Penn & Teller) are like that. They have high standards but they also have good hearts. Sometimes they just feel that someone deserves a break. What if P&T have some inside dirt about Las Vegas magic circles and know that someone gave John Lewit a raw deal, so they're just trying to balance that out?
I thought Penn was against anyone coming on with a cup and ball routine. Like they wanted tricks that could actually fool them without it being a now I have to guess which one of a dozen methods you used. But now it seems the show has been on for so long, if the performance is good enough, they let the magician have his moment in the spotlight and Penn gives his obligatory polite comments and throws in some code and they don’t have to play a guessing game.
The coin was made with iron. The spatula has magnet in it. As spatula pushed the coin down, it actually picked up the coin. While the lady place all other coins into the pudding, he licked the spatula and hid the coin in his mouth.... Thus why he had to plunge his face into the pudding.
anyone else instantly see the first act get the ball from the corner of his jacket and quickly push it under the cup from 5:44. the pudding one was childsplay too. he made sure it stook to the spatula and palmed it in the corner of his mounth which was very easy to see, I knew 100% he would face palm into it to cover it up way before he did it. pole to pole says it all, it was magnetic, im no magician and I can work out half these acts. come on guys get more challenging people on the show. nevermind pen and tellers trick was really easy to work out too, the kink in the rope wasnt even removed after.
The quarter is attached to the spatula. and when he licks it, he puts it in his mouth. the trick is being able to talk normal with the quarter in his mouth.
penn and teller are getting really stupid - i'm not even going to shuffle the deck - doh! so I have a preset deck already set-up for the trick so don't ruin it and btw you can't even look at the deck before I start my trick - OMG how the f* did they not work this one out? - just giving away trophies for the sake of it now
Fun fact: the two girls in the audience shown at 23:54 are actually taken from Season 7 when "Thunder from Down under" perform their show during Helen Coghlans escape. I wonder why they did that?
John Lewitt's trick was pretty simple to figure out, he picked up the coin with the spatula and placed it in his mouth when he was eating the pudding. Still fun to watch tho.
not really.. the cards were pre-shuffled into a certain order. all of the queens were at the 11th position. If he counted down from 10 and got to 7, then there were 4 cards down on the table, and then he counted out the 7 under the kings..
So i agree he definitely had the coin in his mouth when licking off the pidding while she added the other coins, but if there were a magnet in the spatula then why didnt the other coins all stick to it?
The spatula was magnetic. Only her coin was magnetic. He licked the spatula and hid the coin in his mouth. I know little about magic but I figured this one out right away. Especially when he licked the spatula.
Pretty sure it's just 6 prerecorded videos where he can sorta insert a live stream of himself into any of them, with some processing to keep it from looking weird when he does that. P&T seemed to think he had a bunch of prerecorded endings for the various things they could have done or said, but I think the cards were a blue-screen and he could put anything on them (while still doing the green screen separately). The important part is that he had to say their responses out loud, so someone working the tech could set up the ending... because it would've been more impressive if he just pretended it was all prerecorded instead, so apparently he had to respond. Even though that seems a bit weird, because if he has 6 videos, he could sort of 'drop out' at any point and set it up himself...
All six prerecorded switch positions, but the real live feed is being inserted among them (that's why Pen says "popping from one place to another") so he can say things that he's already seen that will match the answers, and he does this 3 times when the cards appear (there's no bluescreen, that's real ink written). When he says this trick was expensive is because he needed the help from the studio, because that green screen, audio and lighting must all match exactly for all pre-recordings and the live feed@@Dimencia
Anybody noticed that the white ball wasn’t on top of the glass before the camera cut to him spinning the stick then it was how could this possibly happen in front of everybody’s eyes that means this is edited
I always hate when they don't do one still camera shot of the magician and the stage. When the white ball showed up on the glass I was like "When the fuck did he put that there?" And rewound to look again but the camera cuts away from the table to show a close up of his stick trick and then when the camera goes back to the table the white ball is there. Like please, I'm trying to solve some of these on my own to see if I can catch the movement, stop focusing on random BS and let me see the entire performance as it plays out.
The show could be fun but at the end when they go yeah we got it. Prove it. If they figure it out they should have to expose how it was done. I get the key word thing where they're giving a hint but there's a lot of intricacies that they may not be getting. If they would show that this could be a really good show
these question of the lady are so awkward starting with who is your best supporter wtf why not ask how did you come with this idea is hard standaard paper questions
@@GavinWongMagic Yes, but then he gave the same spatula to Brooke to stir the pudding. Just like the first time a quarter or more than one stuck to the spatula when she pulled it out.
@@LetsMars Or the magnetic property of the spatula could be switched off after he recovered the marked quarter... I wonder if the P letter was chosen because it is easy to still speak the P unimpendeded with a quarter in your mouth.
I dont understand the last trick, he counts down from ten, stops at whatever number they choose and then continues the countdown from ten why even have them choose a number if its just counting out groups of ten cards and why were they fooled?

Anyone else catch the red light in Jacob's hand? Not sure what role that played in the trick but interesting nevertheless. You can see it around 5:55.
I saw it and had to rewatch it to be sure that’s what I saw.. it was a beautiful act though
I couldn't see it but a red light might turn a white ball to red.
Just classic misdirection, makes it harder to see him doing the move. Though he's so fast, I don't think he needed it
anyone else instantly see the first act get the ball from the corner of his jacket and quickly push it under the cup from 5:44. the pudding one was childsplay too. he made sure it stook to the spatula and palmed it in the corner of his mounth which was very easy to see, I knew 100% he would face palm into it to cover it up way before he did it. pole to pole says it all, it was magnetic, im no magician and I can work out half these acts. come on guys get more challenging people on the show. nevermind pen and tellers trick was really easy to work out too, the kink in the rope wasnt even removed after.
Chris fooled them like five times in one performance, holy moly!
I hope John Lewitt has lots of following after this allowing him to open his third Magic store permanently 😊
The coin magician was easy to figure out....
Can't get enough of Brooke's voice ♥
It's too bad she never sued the butcher that did that to her face. Plastic surgery malpractice.
Great trick. You should come back from retirement. But. I got you licking the coin from the spatula.
Un genio!
The quarter is attached to the spatula. and when he licks it, he puts it in his mouth. the trick is being able to talk normal with the quarter in his mouth.
penn and teller are getting really stupid - i'm not even going to shuffle the deck - doh! so I have a preset deck already set-up for the trick so don't ruin it and btw you can't even look at the deck before I start my trick - OMG how the f* did they not work this one out? - just giving away trophies for the sake of it now
That last bit P and T did was a miniature version of a larger gag of rope passing through a human body.
Fun fact: the two girls in the audience shown at 23:54 are actually taken from Season 7 when "Thunder from Down under" perform their show during Helen Coghlans escape. I wonder why they did that?
They mix and match crowd reactions. Also, a lot of the same people like going to these filmings.
maybe the cuter likes them
This is great, tv is not dead
At 6:06, we can see him taking the black ball with his left hand behing the table and putting it inside the metal cup(slow the video at 0.5)!
12:34 He reminds me of Chester V from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, LOL! The protagonist in the movie lol.
24:45 magnetic quarter, magnet on spatula, when he “licked” the spatula, he sucked the coin into his mouth and held it until the reveal.
Yeah that one was very simple, not sure how that guy got on the show to be honest.
John Lewitt's trick was pretty simple to figure out, he picked up the coin with the spatula and placed it in his mouth when he was eating the pudding. Still fun to watch tho.
If you play this on .25 speed 😂😂😂 unmask that magic 😂😂😂
The card trick is so easy. Just put the Ace on each tenth place and the Queen on eleventh
I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. It's just counting. How did they get fooled?
The first card trick is good since they pick the number and the card was on ready on the shoe
I love numbers and noticed it after the second time of counting down.
But the first part of knowing tellers card in a shoe is the magic
At 4:15 why is there a cut? The glass on the left had no ball on top... then a cut and there is a white ball on top of the clear glass?
I'm no hater but ohh my I miss Alyson, she had a different vibe the energy is missed.
Love to Alyson ❤
Same lol
Thank you for welcoming everyone by "Namaste"
Love from India
what is namaste?
Ondřej may not have fooled P&T, but Brooke liked his boxers so who’s the real winner here?
Pretty predictable. It was obvious how he licked the coin off the spoon thing and hid it in his mouth.
Lol I was thinking the same thing
@@GavinWongMagiceveryone was lol
The pistachio one was so obvious I knew what it was from the very start so you can bet so did Penn and Teller. Not sure how that would fool anyone.
I agree. The only thing I could think of, is if his magnetic personality and appeal just was a red herring…
Brooke pouring the quarters is meant to be the misdirection while he licks the spatula but it was a little too obvious
Many magicians simply use the platform as a marketing act.
The pudding trick,clever but not hard to figure out
Magnet in the spatula and then he pretended to taste to get it into his mouth
Love the p's poem guy
That first act had me confused. Great sleight of hand.
Christ the Volvo you sold me was no good. You would have been better magician if not too many video games. 💯👍🙏
5:55 what's that brief red flash...? i swaer he's using ancient witchcraft of some kind. or, some type of laser...?
Yes A 1 to Chris!!!!!!!!!!
There is a magnet on the red spoon
The woman in NFS UNDERGROUND 2 🤩
If I were talking in code, I would give this a 10, or maybe even four 10s. Great trick.
Yes Capehart get's a 12 in my book.
Master of the mind was the most mind blowing. 😮
not really.. the cards were pre-shuffled into a certain order. all of the queens were at the 11th position. If he counted down from 10 and got to 7, then there were 4 cards down on the table, and then he counted out the 7 under the kings..
So i agree he definitely had the coin in his mouth when licking off the pidding while she added the other coins, but if there were a magnet in the spatula then why didnt the other coins all stick to it?
The spatula was magnetic. Only her coin was magnetic. He licked the spatula and hid the coin in his mouth. I know little about magic but I figured this one out right away. Especially when he licked the spatula.
no copywrite issues? great episode btw
The green screen trick uses technology but I'm not sure how. I noticed some wild unnatural blinking, plus dead staring. Still not sure.
Pretty sure it's just 6 prerecorded videos where he can sorta insert a live stream of himself into any of them, with some processing to keep it from looking weird when he does that. P&T seemed to think he had a bunch of prerecorded endings for the various things they could have done or said, but I think the cards were a blue-screen and he could put anything on them (while still doing the green screen separately). The important part is that he had to say their responses out loud, so someone working the tech could set up the ending... because it would've been more impressive if he just pretended it was all prerecorded instead, so apparently he had to respond. Even though that seems a bit weird, because if he has 6 videos, he could sort of 'drop out' at any point and set it up himself...
@@Dimencia I would never attempt a trick that relies on technology. So many things can go wrong and if one thing goes wrong it's over.
All six prerecorded switch positions, but the real live feed is being inserted among them (that's why Pen says "popping from one place to another") so he can say things that he's already seen that will match the answers, and he does this 3 times when the cards appear (there's no bluescreen, that's real ink written). When he says this trick was expensive is because he needed the help from the studio, because that green screen, audio and lighting must all match exactly for all pre-recordings and the live feed@@Dimencia
see how the hands dont match uw with the sleeves, explains it all combined with @Dimencia en @salsatheone their explanations ;)
The quarter was picked up on the spatula so when he licked it he transferred it to his mouth.
Yea that one was a bit lame and extremely obvious.
Very obvious..
I thought that was Morgan freeman at the end
Wonder what some would look like without the hard cuts and POV help the camera give them?
Pudding one was funny but obvious.
the pudding was the easiest one I ever seen....magnet on the spatula then he licks it off the get the coin in his mouth
😂
Anybody noticed that the white ball wasn’t on top of the glass before the camera cut to him spinning the stick then it was how could this possibly happen in front of everybody’s eyes that means this is edited
I always hate when they don't do one still camera shot of the magician and the stage. When the white ball showed up on the glass I was like "When the fuck did he put that there?" And rewound to look again but the camera cuts away from the table to show a close up of his stick trick and then when the camera goes back to the table the white ball is there.
Like please, I'm trying to solve some of these on my own to see if I can catch the movement, stop focusing on random BS and let me see the entire performance as it plays out.
finaly good sound. but a bit louder than normal. still better
Watch 05:54 carefully red bal is in his left hand already
Brooke's questions are so bad. Nobody can match Jonathan Ross's banter.
I LOVED Jonathan Ross! Such a funny host
I think you are supposed to cut your part and upload just that
The show could be fun but at the end when they go yeah we got it. Prove it.
If they figure it out they should have to expose how it was done.
I get the key word thing where they're giving a hint but there's a lot of intricacies that they may not be getting. If they would show that this could be a really good show
first one white to red it was a led
4:14 the ball just appears on top of the cup is magic real? Or does pen and teller cut their tapes man that annoys me
these question of the lady are so awkward starting with who is your best supporter wtf why not ask how did you come with this idea is hard standaard paper questions
Poor Brooke didn’t know what to do when a quarter was stuck to the spatula after she stirred the pudding.
Pretty sure it was just the first quarter that was stuck
@@GavinWongMagic Yes, but then he gave the same spatula to Brooke to stir the pudding. Just like the first time a quarter or more than one stuck to the spatula when she pulled it out.
She was a playboy model. What do you expect.
@@snowflakehunter still has amazing hooters.
@@LetsMars Or the magnetic property of the spatula could be switched off after he recovered the marked quarter...
I wonder if the P letter was chosen because it is easy to still speak the P unimpendeded with a quarter in your mouth.
Outfit, host, spatula, cards, shoes, magnets, penn, same clothes, chris, teller, magic
I have summed up all the comments alphabetically.
Not sure how this would be considered fair use, but if it stays up more power to you!
Unfortunately the 'P' joke got beaten to death by the end of the trick, and it distracted from the magic, rather than adding to it.
Magnetic coin....
last dude had preset cards lmao a baby could read that
No matter what number they picked it to stop at didn't matter at all. He still would have been left with 4 cards.
While a funny routine, the magnetic spatula was more for a kids birthday party.
Too bad the camera cuts always ruins these for tv viewers.
What happened to Alyson?
I love the last magician this is the real deal the legendary magician the batchmate of Penn and Teller. I heard the laughing of Teller at 32:19 😅😅😅😅😅
Brooke should stop smoking
I dont understand the last trick, he counts down from ten, stops at whatever number they choose and then continues the countdown from ten why even have them choose a number if its just counting out groups of ten cards and why were they fooled?
It was the first part that fooled them
Fantastic, Get home safe to Sweden
Chato and his dying grandfather...so sad 😔
Alyson was really the Best
*Before I clicked this link, I thought there was a Black guy named Gavin Wong...*
34:18 *Whoa.. wait. What just happened?? Is this an inside thing? Who's Gavin Wong Magic and how does Chris know he's going to be uploaded on his channel??*
😂
The into the mouth was too obvious
