- Magician Jonathon LaChance serves up breakfast with Penn & Teller and Alyson Hannigan on episode 10 season 8th season of Penn & Teller: Fool Us with a Breakfast of Magical Champions! Will he fool them with a cereal box?
The real magic: Every single word was in the right place. The 'Pasteurized 2% milk' pun was a gem.
Fun fact: the American Sign Language gesture for 'pasteurized milk' is signing 'milk' (kneading udders) as you move your hands... past your eyes.
@@patcat8950 that’s awesome. I will remember that forever and probably forget where my phone charger or keys or something are to pay for it, but well worth it.
@@grayskindablue before he said the pun I was thinking how the fuck milk was only 2% of a bowl of cereal
I’m just annoyed that didn’t catch the 2% after he said the “98%” part of the dad joke. ;) In fairness, all of those micro-jokes, back to back, did make for a pretty entertaining performance. The magic wasn’t really up to FU quality, but I’m glad he was on the show.
@@patcat8950 Yeah, first thing that popped into my head too. Very succinctly explained, btw. Nice. As you know, ASL is not English (or S.E.), but there is a lot of wordplay humor: Color-ado, Star-bucks (one variant), micro-wave, cents, …
Alyson Hannigan obviously loved it. No scary things. No gross things. No pointy things. No blood or gore. Just a wholesome magic breakfast.
yet she didn't even taste it
Yeah, you're right. She needs to collaborate with Dan Sperry again
😁
Especially when he said he was a fireman.
And she didn't have to shuffle cards
I dont think Fool Us is about fooling at all. Its about showcasing great performances of not so known magic artists, giving them the room to be creative and awesome. Its about the art and entertainment and being known to the world. Very good routine!
What I like about this show is (from what I've seen) even when they don't fool Penn and Teller they still praise the act, and the contestants always seem to be good sports about it. As a fellow michigander it was just cool to see some one from the state on the show.
IDK Piff sounds pretty salty about failing lol.
Hey, Jon, I liked that a lot ! Very clever application of some classic magic principles , which , as it turns out -- no big surprise I guess -- were principles that P&T were familiar with ... But one of the things I love about this show is that the "contest" part of it is not the main focus , it's about presenting quality magical entertainment , so whether you fooled 'em or not , this was very entertaining. I love that you and Jasmine have your own stage and travel around doing your shows together. I hope I'll see you perform in person one of these days.
I can't say I'm surprised that P&T got this one but it was still a great routine. I loved the story/premise to this one.
It was probably the most contrived and boring act I have ever seen.
@@johncoops6897 You must be fun at parties!
@@JunHector - even *_you_* are more entertaining than this act!
Simple. Wholesome. Evokes childlike wonder. A+ imo, regardless of how it likely had no chance of fooling the boys... it was just _fun_ 😃❤
Impressive trick! Even more impressive in becoming a fire fighter though. This guy genuinely seems like someone you'd want to hang out with on a regular basis.
I remember a couple of cereals having a selection of potential prizes, so you'd often open a box hoping for specific prize (and rarely ever get it).
So having the prize be one the participant selected appealed to me on a very nostalgic level.
Terrific performance! That was so well executed. Great pacing and fun surprises. You fooled me!
Box had secret compartments. nothing to be fooled here
Love it! Pen and Teller know how the trick works just like an experienced musician can tell by ear what chords another musician is playing, but I'm not a magician and I don't have a clue. It was sensational! 👏👏👏👏👏
One day you should put on a very long magic show and call it "The Jon-a-thon".
#JonLachance that was so much fun to watch. Thank you for good clean fun magic illusions. God bless and keep you!
I’m always amused that Penn puts things “in code” that everyone can understand and know exactly how it was done. 😂
@Forex Trading x ray specs are stupid I would want the pocket maze or paddle ball. Teller just wants the x ray specs to look at Alyson. Alyson is also why I want the paddle ball... I think you can underline some words and know what I am saying
@@voidremoved bbbased
@@voidremoved yeah but with your comment and the original the key is that only adults will get it. So speaking in code, even flimsy code has its usefulness.
Knew how you did it, but it's GREAT to see puffery done with real PUFFS.
How in the world?! The box was empty AND he made their choice toy appear!
Amazing act, my friend. It blew my mind!
Awesome performance but uploaded at wrong aspect ratio...stretched
Some tricks are quite normal but I enjoyed the breakfast story. I think he did a good job.
dude could be ina commercial how he held up that spoon fulla cereal and smiled. Love it
I’m not clear on how it worked and I think it was great. Visually would’ve been nicer if the box would’ve been built with the box art out after reveal. Perhaps that was pertinent to some parts of the truck working though so maybe he couldn’t 🤷🏻♂️
Another one of those wonderful performances that you know aren't going to fool P&T. Yes, the secret is in the box - surprise, not!
there was more to it than that she had a free choice of boxes Penn and Teller had a free choice
@@garyp4374 she did not have a free choice. Notice how all cereal boxes besides presto pops is loaded on one side of the bag and presto pops on the other. The inside of the bag is divided and the only box she could pull out was presto pops. Very simple
Wholesome like whole grain cereal. I love tricks like this that don't really feel like a trick at all. Reminded me of when I played with my cereal as a kid. Great work sir!
What do you know, I had enough signal here to check it out. I'm no Penn & Teller because it's fooled me. Definitely entertaining. Glad I got to chat with you today.
This was so good!! We knew what was coming and we watched for it and....we didn't see it.
Am I the only one thinking that Alyson is either high or drunk? Lmao
Very dynamic, very entertaining. Keep it up!
Hello from the Up of Michigan! I worked at some magic shops before in Gatlinburg and while this trick has an easy premise, it was executed nicely and in a very fun way! I am pretty sure my kids would love it as well. Great job and keep up the good work!
I'm no magician, just a fan of these clips. And even though you didn't fool them, I have to say that it was some pretty nice writing and design, so kudos to you.
I loved your trick, really fun, entertaining, clever. Thank you for sharing this :)
Penn and Teller: nice trick. Didn’t fool us though.
Alyson: when can I eat this cereal?
Amazing! The trick was a real killer, a cereal killer!
What a great fella and good samaritan 🎉
I never thought I'd hear a pun as good as past-your-eyes/pasteurized, and in such a perfect context
What a wholesome trick. I prefer this kind of harmless trick.
Magic! Your house is on fire!
And now its not…!
great routine! Maybe I liked it because I'm diabetic and can't usually be around "sugar coma in a box" :-) very fun and funny.
the milk is what really got me. the other stuff was great, but doing the same thing with a liquid, that completely blew me away.
What happend to the horizontal/vertical ratio of that video?
Glad you said that I thought I was going crazy.
Great trick(s), great show and great jokes. Well done :)
So genuine and lovely! Well done!!
This was a fun and very entertaining routine. I'm not even going to try an figure it out. I enjoyed the mystery on this one.
As a child I never came up with Alyson's idea of opening the bag from the other side.
Great act! Though you may want to re-upload with the correct aspect ratio ;).
The one thing I can't figure out is the prediction. Seemed like a fair choice, no force.
Fantastic! So proud of you. Really well done.
Great trick, and my hats off to you for becoming a firefighter!
call me silly but what i loved most seeing the finding a spoon behind someones ear routine :) .. i dont know why i just love it
Seems very simple, but kinda endearing. Definitely feels like something that already was done on Fool Us before here and there. But not all at once.
I’m not a magician but I saw how he did everything…the easiest one to spot was the spoon. Literally reached inside ur pocket 🤷🏻♂️
What a pro! Excellent routine, above-average creativity, and confident, expert performance style. Thanks for the entertainment, Jon. I really enjoyed it!
The cereal box was partitioned to hold 20 possibilities. The bag was flapped and partitioned too.
That aspect ratio though
Even I could tell how he did it come on. 5 years?
I have a whole box of those mini terrariums! Grew a lot of things in them over the years.
you cant fool penn and teller with secret compartments
Nice guy doing a nice performance!
Excelente!! Grande número de mágica!! Parabéns!!
enjoyed this very, very much. It was entertaining and new. Great job.
I'm from Michigan, and eating a bowl of cereal. Guess I better get a scratch off
I think Theres partitions in the box hahahaha good idea 👍
I still can't work out where the bowl came from??? I've tried slowing down the playback and I'm still none the wiser!!
I meet Johnathan lachance at Hamburg fun fest saw one of his shows and that was yesterday it was good he mixed farm magic and comedy
Haha Penn’s story about his “change bag” was very revealing wouldn’t you all say? 😂👏👍🏼
i don't get it.
@@Allen-L-Canada a change bag is a popular magicians prop.. it’s a gimmicked bag used to switch stuff. Can buy at any magic shop .. but don’t buy this.. it’s for lame ass stay at home Dad magic tricks for the kids parties. 😂
@@RaptureReady2025 so the cereal box is the "change bag", right?
@@Allen-L-Canada Penn and Teller are magician’s magicians who grew up with these basic magic tricks, so they know every trick in the book. To really fool P&T requires a magician’s magician’s magician 😂 save the magic shop tricks for kids parties and restaurant gigs haha… yes the cereal box is the switcharoo prop similar concept to the black material change bag and plastic white egg. 😂
@@RaptureReady2025 - well lame tricks is what we all saw here.
Past your eyes, pasteurized hehe
the last 2%of the trick.
I'm from the metro Detroit area in Michigan it's good to see a Michigan Michigan. Did a good job too.
My mans shares the town of Battlecreek with the legendary Airsoft fattie
The real magic trick here is how TH-cam knew.... I was eating Lucky Charms when this video just HAPPENED to pop up in my Recommended..... Call me paranoid but I'm putting that electrical tape back over my laptop camera RIGHT EFFING NOW.
Michigan represent!
Change bag is the key.
The resolution is a bit odd
at least you can say you made breakfast for Alyson
Really neat trick. I love trying to figure out what Penn is hinting at with his code talk, and sometimes (like here) I kinda think I know what words he meant for you to hear in there. I'm still absolutely none the wiser, which amuses me greatly. :D
He was basically using names of trick techniques, and it boils down to, there are pouches built in to the seemingly flat box that conceal the cereal and the milk, so he just has to open the pouch to pour it out.
And I assume he loaded the glasses from a pocket in a similar way he loaded the spoon from her ear.
Oh, and the box would have multiple layers in it, each with a different artwork, so when he opened it he just had to select the proper "page" to match what Allison picked.
And after showing the artwork, when he closes it up, the narrow side of the box almost looks like it's bulging, which is where I am guessing the milk is stored.
Nice show, pretty standard techniques.
Still very entertaining and smooth!
aspect ratio is off, really hard to watch :(
Anyone with an animatronic chicken is an instant legend in my book :)
Alyson got the KICKS
That was such a unique routine. Really enjoyable!
Had Alyson been at the bar before this?
Alyson Hannigan is love ❤️
Michigan native here. Was hoping he would fool them.
So many gifted wow
Aspect ratio is borked, 16:9 origin for squeezed into a more squashed aspect ratio.
Good job, Jonathan!! Fooled me for sure!
Fantastic! Your delivery was 🎯
Such a great routine and trick!
But where did the spoon come from huh? Huh?!
Jonathan, even though you did not succeed to fool two seasoned magicians, you blew my mind with your sleight of hand, it was a smooth act and far from the usual boring card tricks. Awesome, thank you!
3:50 he is pulling the spoon, see his right hand movement.
Michigan Magician Michigan Magician Michigan Magician Michigan Magician Michigan Magician ! so hard
very simple trick, but I felt like being again a little kid at a fair, enjoying the simple things in life, so that was nice. And you were trembling, what made you a likable person for me (sorry English is not my language) because you are not such a cold person..., I couldn't do something like this at all on stage, would be just too nervous
Why was the box inside-out AFTER he revealed it? That really bugged me.
Look carefully at 4:05. There is are hidden pockets.
stretched aspect ratio making my eyes hurt
How he know about the glasses?
...baking soda submarine. Oh, the rapture
heartwarming personality
Allison was definitely pregnant here
I wonder if it's only 2% of people who never had milk with their cereal.
If so, I'm part of that 2%.
presto pops is the only one he put on the other side of paper bag???
SPOILER ALERT!!, if you don't want to know how (I believe) he may have done this trick then stop reading now....
First of all I have to say that the table he used is particularly big, I mean, big enough to fit someone inside of it, someone that could actually handle him which ever price Penn and Teller choose (or he could have all those prices stashed on his clothes on hidden pockets). Now, when he unfolded the box, both the noice it did and the movements he did made me think of one name, Svengali, the are several Svengali props out there, for example a book with drawings, which, depending on how you hold it, as you spread the pages you can see all blank pages, all black an white drawings and even all full colored images, and you could have even more layers, in this case, as many layers as cereal boxes he put on the bag for Alison to pick one.
Either the person inside the table placed the price behind the box right after he placed it on the table or he picked it from a hidden pocket on his clothes, whichever way he did it, he then placed it on the changing bag part that contained the cereal, so when he spread the cereal over the bowl, the price felt on it, and the other section of the changing bag had the milk on it, like the old water pouring newspaper trick...
that Spoon 😱
