I have always thought that magic is best utilized not as a means to "fool" people, but to give them an actual sense of wonderment. Using magic as a storytelling tool to reintroduce people to the miracle of our very existence and the wide-eyed amazement of the natural world around us is, I believe, a truly noble pursuit. The way you use it here to convey the concept of quantum entanglement is brilliant, and I applaud you for it. I hope you will continue to use your magic in this way. We need to be reminded what an amazing and mysterious world we live in, that beyond our workaday distractions lies a still largely unexplored universe of wondrous possibilities. So many magicians are only interested in performing illusions for illusion's sake. You have a unique combination of knowledge and talent that can transcend what most people know of as "magic" and really awaken a sense of wonder about who we are, where we came from, and what we can do with it. The possibilities are endless, and I hope that your continued success will be as well. We need you!
I agree with you that it was an absolutely great presentation, but I do not recommend it as an introduction to quantum physics either. The counterpart of the correlated card 2S would have to be expressed in the model by the card 2H, for example, in order for it to be 0. The result would then reflect certain "quantum properties" to which the entanglement relates. The same is true for "correlated" 5H and QH. The time entanglement in the "card" model also lacked something significant, but it doesn't matter. The important thing is that it was fun (especially for us physicists) and it doesn't matter at all that it happened through simple tricks.
@@DL-kc8fc I wasn’t meaning to use magic to explain the subject in precise detail at a Doctorate level. I just meant to use it to inspire awe as a way of encouraging people to look further into it, for it to be more of a quick, general overview. I appreciate your well-figured response, though!
You are completely correct and I had a long discussion with 2 physics professors about that. In the end it is a balance of keeping it entertaining and engaging without it being too complicated

His wife didn't want to go through all the trouble of getting pregnant again with a second child so he just put his kid in a box and... well, you know how the rest goes...
When I was in high school, I did a little magic, and now I do quantum entanglement for a living, so Till, you made my day with this routine. Shared with my research group!
Imagine a magician on a date... just one moment he has his hand under the table for a second and the next thing she can remember is beeing pregnant! XD
When penn was taking to Till I didn’t even realize that he was already talking in code!!!! What’s even more impressive than all the magicians that go up there is that penn can explain the trick without regular people understanding what he is saying lol
There was one instance where they were talking in code and even the magician didn't really get it, thinking they had figured him out, but they actually hadn't (it was some routine with poker chips and they thought the poker chips were manipulated, but it turned out they were regular chips). They learned that about a year later, gave the trophy to the magician and had him on the show again where he fooled them again.
@@georgeb9088 multiple outs actually means there are multiple outcomes he can use depending on the card that was chosen, not that the decks have multiple same cards
@@georgeb9088 "Multiple" has multiple meanings. It depends on the context. For example, for this kind of magic, I once bought "Black Rose" playing cards that allow what I saw in the box trick. Of course, fewer cuts require duplicated cards that must be replaced at the appropriate time. Penn and Teller know all of this and will not be fooled.
As an amateur magician, I understood the code that Penn used, but I won't give it away because this is such a really good effect and Mr. Haunschild deserves to retain his secrets. I think it's kind of funny that sometimes, we not only get fooled by the guest, but also by P&T in their explanations.
I think its easy. The dude did not shuffle the deck. The woman at one point knows what to do before he even say it. So they both are not just randomly selected viewers. Both decks are prepared and they are taking just cards from top. And that second cut negates the first. Nice trick but very transparent.
@@emerialon5612 There are a couple rules for the show and one is that when they say someone is randomly selected from the audience, that part is true. Someone might be an instant stooge, but that's not rehearsed. The trick there is likely when he took the deck from her.
I don't care if you fooled them or not. This is a fantastic way to talk about science in a magic routine, and a damn good magic trick on its own. I really loved this.
As a fellow magician, let me say my friend that this was a brilliant premise, beautifully delivered with a great range of imperceptible methods! I detect in you a funnier, cheekier side and I hope you let that out more too, because you clearly really _enjoy_ magic and that means you are a treat to watch! Well done! _EDIT_ Just watched some of your other videos and I was right, you are loads of fun!
I don't want to know how the tricks are done, that's kind of making a commentary video pointless... :D In any case, it was a very entertaining and well put together routine! Congrats on the appearance on the show, and may your future bring a lot more magical moments to you too!
@@szabib8048 I will not explain how it is done but rather talk about the whole experience from the audition to the performance and everything around it.
Okay...The first deck of red cards is marked so he knows which one is on top and goes in the box. When the laser makes the second "deck" materialize, he is reaching under the table (where something like 26 or 52 decks are hidden) for a blue deck with the 2 of spades in a specific known position, the 5 of hearts on top, and an upside down Q of diamonds. The thing that falls on the table is a hollow box...He uses SOH to replace it with the deck that was under the table. I have no idea how he forces the 5H or the QD or how he gets the 2S in the box. And I'm probably completely wrong about the first part of my comment too.
Penn mentions the exact name of the force method, starting with b, but there´s gotta be much more to it as it doesnt explain it all. Also it is risky. Anyways, strong magic, I am fooled :)
this was an amazing trick that I cannot figure out any part of, and had amazing storytelling and flow. this is one of the best fool us tricks I've ever seen, amazing job!
I was hoping you might find some way to say, this is just a conjuring trick, but what I am saying about entanglement really is true. The Nobel Prize gag achieved that perfectly.
I hate it when they cut out a scene that gives away the trick. Compare the deck of cards at 2:07 and then again at 2:11. The deck of the cards were moved. So there was something done to plant the card on top of the deck.
You are correct, the cards have been shuffled a second time by the girl but they decided to cut it out. I would have preferred them leaving it in since it makes the trick seem even more impossible ;)
The editing of these performances is often a bit annoying. By cutting that bit out where the deck was moved, it does make it look like some sloppy slight of hand was done and edited out. But, that's not the case.
@@jamesreed5678 Removing key "cuts" and other necessary manipulations reduce the magician's performance to the level of video-cheaters. It's a disturbing phenomenon in "Fool Us". No magician has ever admitted that it was nothing important in his case, because TV manipulation always plays in his favor. We know of many cases where a key moment has been removed to make the trick sophisticated. It's very ridiculous how an empty box from a "laser" is exchanged under a table for a full box, followed by unnecessary editing of something that supposedly doesn't affect the trick. )))
This is really an amazing routine, the storytelling is incredible and I really loved it. Your style is so nice and I really like it. Greetings from Italy!
I have a problem with this. The card was removed from the deck BEFORE the entanglement happened. So that card wasn't part of the entanglement and therefore should have been exempt.
I had the exact same thought haha but i suppose you could argue the card was entangled with its deck, therefore entangling the other deck made that cards "information" synchronize instantly.
@@haunschild quick question, shouldn’t the deck be entangled before putting a card in the box? Because if it was not entangled when putting it in the box the other box would be empty.
@@timschafer2536 This is a good question and I thought about it when scripting the routine. I could have first entangled the deck and then let the spectator put the card in the box.

@@haunschild at quantum level our newtonian mechanics doesn’t apply its a different world obeying different physical laws. I am sure you can make a trick out of Double-slit experiment too :-)
@@timschafer2536 As the cards are moving in the speed of light, the time does not exist for them and thus any action sequence based on time does not apply..
Great trick. I've watched it a dozen times and I still can't quite figure out how you maintain that much control over the deck while letting the volunteers cut it. You'd get a trophy from me. 🏆
the first thought I had when he put the red card in the box and I knew the black card would appear in the black box was "schrödinger's cat". I really enjoyed your performance, thx for that.
Not only born in the same town as the GOAT. Your father said the same to you as his did to him. It’s destiny. Nice performance! I was FOOLED. I noticed one force but that was it. I could not explain how this was done. Usually I’m on the same page as penn, but even knowing what he was saying in code I still can’t think of how it was physically done.
If what happens in one deck happens in the other is true … then why do you check for the placement of one card? Shouldn’t all the cards have the same position in both decks?
That's spooky. I have twins, and when they were younger they also used to search behind their ears for stuff I "vanished", for the same reasons - that's hilarious. Good luck!
Combining my two favorite things, magic and science was wonderful to see. That was a great routine and presented with style! I tried to watch closely, but whoever chose that stunning gal as a participant, provided the perfect distraction. Awesome act! 👏👏
Moving close to the speed of light while watching the video, you can see how the magic unfolds and creates what seems to be the entangled deck. However even at this speed I'm unable to observe how the other cards behave, probably because I can see exactly where they are and Heisenbergs uncertainty principle forbids me to know their momentum as well.
I "dabbled" in magic in my younger years but continued in science, Electronics and computers. Great work, but as with Penn n Teller, I was not fooled. The last part was far too easy, but it was well staged and performed. Great work. As I have dabbled, I will not discuss what I determined in the work that was done, but it was very well executed as it was not based on sleight of hand.
if you look when he turned over the deck there was the 2 of spades too i think the whole deck was 2 of spades and he used slight of hand to make both cards get to where they needed to be
Did they cut the shuffle in the beginning of the trick? I know he said the cards were shuffled but the audience at home never gets to see it. That’s a bad cut imo.
The cards mysteriously move at about 2:08. Looks like they edited out the dirty work. I like the trick! ... but I don't think they should edit it like that.
You are correct, the cards have been mixed a second time by the girl but they decided to cut it out. I would have preferred them leaving it in. The actual dirty work is still there, hiding in plain sight - can you spot it?
@@haunschild I've spotted the dirty work with the boxes - very well done. If both decks were all 5H, that would explain the first cut (without breaking the boxes) ... but they're not, we see the bottom card in the blue deck for a moment (a black 2) and then as far as I can tell she draws the blue QD cleanly, so they're not all 5H. So I have absolutely no idea how the 5H cut worked. I spotted something with the handling of the deck for the blue QD, but don't know what it means. Will you answer this - is the upside-down red QD related to the original materialization of the blue deck?
science and magic are same thing, magic is word we use to describe science that we don't yet understand. also it was just sleight of hand, a good one tho. i think you forced the first card or swapped the last one, you only kept the red box's card in view, while other one was in your palm for a while, plenty of time to swap it out. but it was nicely done. also Einstein wasn't as great as everyone says he was, because you see back in those days nothing was invented yet, so it was easy to make things, but nowdays it's hard to come up with anything original, because everything exists already. for example person who invented a wheel or lightbulb, they got lot of credit and fame for it ... but it was super easy. for example i figured out water displacement when i was probably like 2-3 years old, when i was being put into the baby path, they always filled it up all the way and when they put me in it, then water raised over the edges .. and i remember hearing people talking saying "look he has splashed water all over again" .. i was way too young to express myself, but i kept thinking "are you that dumb that you dont understand water displacement?" but the person who first went public with water displacement, got famous for it. so just because someone publishes something first, doesn't always make them more intelligent or smarter, it just makes them faster and/or greedier. Einstein has been wrong about a lot of things, like absolute zero temperature. as about quantum entanglement, i agree with him tho, particles are pre-programmed. on quantum level things work different, gravity and other forces work different. if you split the particles, they keep doing what they did, they don't actually communicate with eachother, they just do same thing. if you'd have a way to affect them without observing them first, then you can break that bond and make them do different things. if you change one particle's rotation, then other will NOT change. this experiment only works when observing. it's quite easy really.
When he rocked the black box in the end, the card somehow appeared on top. Also the boxes have mirrors at 45 degrees so the card can be hidden in the beginning.
@@haunschild 😁😁 I was just trying to act smart, I thought I figured it out a bit!. Great performance btw, keep it up! I wanted to go into physics but somehow ended up in engineering. Good to see you combine physics and magic!
5:53 you see the sleight. But yeah. This is video. On realtime this would be harder to find out even if you knew when most likely magic happens. Well done.

the first thought I had when he put the red card in the box and I knew the black card would appear in the black box was "schrödinger's cat".
I really enjoyed your performance, thx for that.
If this was how science was taught, we would have a better world! ❤️ One of the greatest acts ever 💥
6:25 look at his father, he's very happy and proud ♥
This is my favorite trick of this season!
Well done!
Thank you! What was your favourite last season? Mine: Asi Wind
How would you split an elementary particle? ;)
What’s with the spring loaded box and the rubber band?
Why do the two "randomly selected" guests have also German accent?
Great trick, nervous beginning, and a few unfortunate camera angles - which still didn't help me in figuring it out :)
Wait. If you flipped one up, shouldn't the other one get flipped down?
But don’t entangled particles have opposite spins?
Correct, that is why I used a red and blue deck -> the color of the cards representing their spins ;)
Not only born in the same town as the GOAT. Your father said the same to you as his did to him. It’s destiny. Nice performance! I was FOOLED. I noticed one force but that was it. I could not explain how this was done. Usually I’m on the same page as penn, but even knowing what he was saying in code I still can’t think of how it was physically done.
Thanks for the entertainment and excellent routining, Till. Splendid!
I always though Lennart green was the most intelligent card magician....until I saw this brilliant presentation...that was 👌
Thank you very much! Lennart Green is one of my idols, I did learn a lot from him :)
If what happens in one deck happens in the other is true … then why do you check for the placement of one card? Shouldn’t all the cards have the same position in both decks?
That's spooky. I have twins, and when they were younger they also used to search behind their ears for stuff I "vanished", for the same reasons - that's hilarious.
Good luck!
Combining my two favorite things, magic and science was wonderful to see. That was a great routine and presented with style! I tried to watch closely, but whoever chose that stunning gal as a participant, provided the perfect distraction. Awesome act! 👏👏
By opening the box, does it create a new universe in which pen and teller were fooled?
Hopefully ;)
Till next time
What about sam beckett? Will he ever get home?
That was spooky action at a distance! I knew it, I knew it!
What an amazing trick! Looking forward to see more!
The best act I have seen on this show.
Such an interesting way to teach about science.
2:12 never trust a magician when he points out these kinds of stuff.
Excellent performance!
Key phrase? "Multiple outs". . .
I can not imagine how you did 2 and 3 trick :o 3 one was amazing :o Good luck in your books for children, I love the idea and I love physics!!!!
We just chose at complete “random” the audience member who happens to be so gorgeous half the viewers will be drooling all over themselves. lol
You act like pretty girls arent everywhere, especially in events in vegas lol.
@@sneakysquirrel4253 He meant the dude xD
Honestly before I even saw this comment I was thinking "did they just go out and audition for the two most attractive people in the audience?"
But... Who's box is this?
Nice reference!

Moving close to the speed of light while watching the video, you can see how the magic unfolds and creates what seems to be the entangled deck. However even at this speed I'm unable to observe how the other cards behave, probably because I can see exactly where they are and Heisenbergs uncertainty principle forbids me to know their momentum as well.
I "dabbled" in magic in my younger years but continued in science, Electronics and computers. Great work, but as with Penn n Teller, I was not fooled. The last part was far too easy, but it was well staged and performed. Great work. As I have dabbled, I will not discuss what I determined in the work that was done, but it was very well executed as it was not based on sleight of hand.
That girl is pretty magical !
Pause at 1:55 you just blew her mind.
if you look when he turned over the deck there was the 2 of spades too i think the whole deck was 2 of spades and he used slight of hand to make both cards get to where they needed to be
All cards are different! Whatch my audition video and you see: th-cam.com/video/e1FrzXry8vY/w-d-xo.html
Well executed Till & you certainly fooled me! Better luck next time around....... 👍👍😉😉
At 4:27 you can clearly see a force... of force.
Correct. But The card was allready in the other deck, face-up.
Wonderful 'demonstration' of quantum entanglement!
Amazing performance dude. You’re really good at performing and I like your style. That was really well done. Hopefully you fool them next time🤞
Did they cut the shuffle in the beginning of the trick? I know he said the cards were shuffled but the audience at home never gets to see it. That’s a bad cut imo.
Sadly yes: they cut the part where he shuffled and later when she cut the cards.
@@haunschild ah ok.
Will the effect be same if two volunteers were Penn and Teller themselves........??
The cards mysteriously move at about 2:08. Looks like they edited out the dirty work. I like the trick! ... but I don't think they should edit it like that.
Agreed.
You are correct, the cards have been mixed a second time by the girl but they decided to cut it out. I would have preferred them leaving it in. The actual dirty work is still there, hiding in plain sight - can you spot it?
@@haunschild i can't : _ (
I gave a thumbs up to to your comment ;)
@@haunschild I've spotted the dirty work with the boxes - very well done. If both decks were all 5H, that would explain the first cut (without breaking the boxes) ... but they're not, we see the bottom card in the blue deck for a moment (a black 2) and then as far as I can tell she draws the blue QD cleanly, so they're not all 5H. So I have absolutely no idea how the 5H cut worked. I spotted something with the handling of the deck for the blue QD, but don't know what it means. Will you answer this - is the upside-down red QD related to the original materialization of the blue deck?
The boxes didn't fool me one bit but I have zero clue how the rest was done even though I understood the code that Penn said. Damn good trick!
What was the code? My guess was more than two decks, but I'm not sure.
@@paulm3952 "multiple outs"
science and magic are same thing, magic is word we use to describe science that we don't yet understand. also it was just sleight of hand, a good one tho. i think you forced the first card or swapped the last one, you only kept the red box's card in view, while other one was in your palm for a while, plenty of time to swap it out.
but it was nicely done.
also Einstein wasn't as great as everyone says he was, because you see back in those days nothing was invented yet, so it was easy to make things, but nowdays it's hard to come up with anything original, because everything exists already. for example person who invented a wheel or lightbulb, they got lot of credit and fame for it ... but it was super easy. for example i figured out water displacement when i was probably like 2-3 years old, when i was being put into the baby path, they always filled it up all the way and when they put me in it, then water raised over the edges .. and i remember hearing people talking saying "look he has splashed water all over again" .. i was way too young to express myself, but i kept thinking "are you that dumb that you dont understand water displacement?"
but the person who first went public with water displacement, got famous for it. so just because someone publishes something first, doesn't always make them more intelligent or smarter, it just makes them faster and/or greedier. Einstein has been wrong about a lot of things, like absolute zero temperature.
as about quantum entanglement, i agree with him tho, particles are pre-programmed. on quantum level things work different, gravity and other forces work different. if you split the particles, they keep doing what they did, they don't actually communicate with eachother, they just do same thing. if you'd have a way to affect them without observing them first, then you can break that bond and make them do different things.
if you change one particle's rotation, then other will NOT change. this experiment only works when observing. it's quite easy really.
I enjoyed the presentation throughout. Thanks.
Nice trick. And wow, that girl is beautiful
That blew my mind! Thank you for sharing this, friend. :)
you are using two different colour decks for quantum entanglement trick, aren't they suppose to look identical?
Not really, entangled particles have opposing 'spins' and the spin of a card is represented by it's colour, obviously... ;)
When he rocked the black box in the end, the card somehow appeared on top.
Also the boxes have mirrors at 45 degrees so the card can be hidden in the beginning.
They cut the part with the spectators inspecting the boxes -> no mirrors!
@@haunschild
😁😁 I was just trying to act smart, I thought I figured it out a bit!. Great performance btw, keep it up!
I wanted to go into physics but somehow ended up in engineering. Good to see you combine physics and magic!
@@thehyperfinestructure6550 Thank you! You need to watch my audition video. Might help you figure it out ;)
Do they make a hair conditioner for quantum entanglement?
The magician asks what you need it for...
Came out perfectly! Congrats Till!
With quantum entanglement shouldn’t the other card be folded
5:53 you see the sleight. But yeah. This is video. On realtime this would be harder to find out even if you knew when most likely magic happens. Well done.
No slight once the cards are in my hands. Could have opened them by the spectators.
At 1:47 his finger tips come and touch together. You can easily tell how the trick was done from here
Damn, you got me
This is the BEST explanation of quantum entanglement!
But they didnt ask u anything. What was the code? How did they know? And how did u know they knew it?
Anyone watch Dark?
Very creative, very nice, definitely fooled me, well done!
Great Act!! Well presented and had incredible magic. Keep it up!
Shouldn't the decks be the same color, not one red and one black? :)
Not really if you think of the color as the "spin" of the deck and red + blue being = 0 ;)
Great performance, well done, very entertaining!
Nobel Prize goes to pen and teller for explaining this trick.
Best Trick I have ever seen, hands down. Such a great routine, great idea and greatly performed
Glad you liked it!!
You should watch more Fool Us...there are many better tricks!
@@patrickl6932 I have watched every single episode....none has spoken to me, maybe because it's similar to a routine I worked on as a kid ... It's just beautiful from start to finish.
@@patrickl6932 Which one is your favourite? Mine: Asi Wind's xmas performance
As someone who’s interested im science (especially quantum physics) and a magician this is awesome to see!
Glad you think so!
Great routine and presentation, Till. Bravo!
