Here's my thoughts, or how I would achieve this:
At most, one feed is dedicated to being "live" at any one time.
He starts by asking what their reactions will be. At this point, all 6 feeds are pre-recorded and are playing. Then one feed switches to live so he can confirm the dynamic responses - 1 live, 5 pre-recorded, with the live feed switching to different windows.
Then transition back to all 6 pre-recorded, with the sequence being significantly long. Throughout this time he is not live and writes down the responses on paper. Enough time is spent with the 6 pre-recordings in order to record individual reveals, which are then prepped for playing in sequence. Then the reveal happens, all 6 (or 5/6) newly-recorded reveals play and he prepares to come on stage.
There are only a few moments he needs to record and queue up on that day. The most important part are aligning himself for a transition to be smooth, using onion-skinning techniques and a monitor to ensure he's aligned with a transition pose.
Cool theory bro, but how can he flip between recordings without it looking like there's been a cut?
@@emergentform1188 There were visible cuts. Another poster mentioned this:
"- At exactly 3:17, you can see that there is a subtle cut in the video of the top right Ondrej. "
When the transition between live and recorded has to happen, he moves into a transition pose, as I mentioned. Which means he moves himself into the same position that his recording starts at, so when the transition happens, there's no jarring cut. But at 3:17 you can see that one happens.
@@404_profile_not_foundAhh right on, much appreciated! The orchestration and timing that went into this is wild in that case.
@@404_profile_not_found I can't see the one mentioned, but immediately after that (when it returns to fullscreen) the bottom right clone has a transition that's not so smooth, and if you frame-by-frame you can actually see two Ondrejs at once. None of this is noticeable normally, there's constant misdirection to draw your attention away from the switches, and with six of them you are either actively hunting for them or you'll never catch them. I guess this is sleight of feed?
Wonderful explanation. What is the onion-skin technique, btw ?
So happy you came back a fourth time. You’re one of my all time favorite magicians on this show. Hope to see you a fifth time.
That is so sweet of you. We'll see if I come up with something new. ;)
That was PHENOMENAL! I have no idea how you did it. You could say it fooled the pants off of me. I got butterflies zooming all around me watching this.
You are so punny! 😃
Bit weird
This was so, so, so much fun to watch. Great performance and effect, Ondrej, and thanks for letting us watch you do that. Nobody was having more fun in that room than you, Penn, and Teller.
Tvá vystoupení jsou vždycky zážitek. :) Díky, že takhle hezky reprezentuješ naši zemi.
Moc děkuju. Plánuju ji důstojně reprezentovat i nadále. :)
@@OndrejPsenickaa ta super anglictina bez prizvuku, to se taky moc casto neslysi.
Ahhhhh ondrej! What a legend!!! Magnolia in real life! Remarkable 🔥
Magnolia on steroids! 😎
I just had to go back & watch the first three. Congrats! ❤
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed them! 🙏
Just brilliant, hope to see you again 🙂
"Don't make a move. I'll hit you in the face." LOL
😅 I was scared!
Ondrej you are my hero! I’ve loved all of your performances! I’m hurt you didn’t fool them this but I’m sure you’ll get them again!
Well done, can't wait for your comeback next season!
Oh yeaaa, he's back. Always a spectacular act.
Wow, this is so original, elaborate, and bewildering. Ondrej is legend.
You are! Thank you so much! 🙏
it fooled the pseinicka out of me when I saw this trick in one of your online shows and this trick was the reason I have asked you quiet a few times to put that show online so that I could watch it one more time.... and I still have no idea how this was done
Haha, I don't know how exactly it works either anymore. 😄
@@OndrejPsenickamaybe one of the other Ondrejs does
@@OndrejPsenickaSo you're telling us all you've fooled yourself? 😅
The ingenuity and skill behind this trick is impressive!
such a GREAT routine!!! LOVE IT!
Thanks so much, Alex! ♥️ I am super happy you liked it. 🙏
That was a fantastic trick. The timing was just perfect. The other times you fooled them were great but this trick was just really special.
It is very special to me, too. Took countless hours to get right.
I can well imagine that it did. I liked it when one of you sneezed and one of you left. Just brilliant. I guess there is always the next time. Good luck.
Well done, Ondrej! Well written, presented and executed! Bravo! ⚡
Bravo! Loved it! Mega congrats on another wonderful performance!
Thank you Jimmy! And congrats on yours! The Sky is The Limit! Fantastic idea and execution. 🙏♥️
I got fooled, i have no clue, i love your work and you made my day better, thank you so much
I have been to Prague and the surrounding country twice, and the Czechs have a certain way about them, and Ondrej reminds me of how wonderful a place it is. Maybe it is the humor. He takes who he already is, and adds magic and puts on one great show!
Honestly insane that he’s fooled them twice, let alone 3 times. You’re incredibly talented man, very impressed you risked it a fourth time
Thank you, I really appreciate it!
You’re awesome and they’re great. 😊 Good luck for next time. 🍀🍀🍀
They are, and you are. Love you.
Penn once said in his podcast that the trick to being a good magician is to work harder than anyone would ever believe you would. And you did.
MY GOODNESS.... you are great!
So proud of you friends! What an amazing multilevel performance that reminded me of some good ol' stooges from Magnolia!👏👏👏👏
Some good old Tilkka level stooges, yes Sir! 😉
Its always good to see you again on the show!
Thank you, Nick. 🙏
Proud of you as always ❤
I think I get what P&T were getting at, but I don't understand how one would be able to switch from pre-recorded to real-time and back without some sort of obvious jumps or inconsistencies - unless the mention of the weeks and months was about practicing all six characters' EXACT timing, to include exact head position, alignment, tilt, no blinking, exact same smile, etc., so that any one frame was live at a time, but seamlessly goes back to prerecorded when another frame has to say something important. Which would actually be more impressive than the trick already looked.
Glad someone else here was thinking similarly.
You can say that the method to this trick is at least as impressive as the effect itself. 😊
Aside from training to replicate the exact same pose at the right moment, i believe you can most likely smooth out transitions between live/pre-recorded with technological tools like AI to make it seemless.
That was a really cool performance. I really like the one clone getting up and walking across the screen of the other clones to go to the bathroom :) Well done.
This was truly amazing! Brilliant execution of a hilarious and great trick. ✨
♥️🙏 Thank you, my dear friend.
You are my favorite ever magician on fool us.. You have a wonderful smile and a magical personality.. thank you for your gift to the world 🙂❤️
Edit: I watched it again , you are a genius.. 🙂
I just watched this episode. It was 🤔 then😳 and finally😀on 🔥🔥🔥 & came to see the other 3 tricks from past seasons. What a great appearance the 6 of you were. Lol!!
Outstanding performance!!!
I can't wait to rewatch the past ones.
Thank you, Richard! That's fantastic, I am really happy you enjoyed it. 🙏😊
Good stuff! Very entertaining! Loved it! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Yay! Thank you, Ken! 🙏
Na zdraví! Díky za nenápadné vnoření našeho krásného jazyka do videa 😉 Každopádně každé z vašich vystoupení v P&T stálo za to a mám je ve výběru toho nejlepšího z této show.
Děkuju za milá slova. Vždycky se tam snažím něco “našeho” propašovat. ☺️🇨🇿
It was such a great performance as always 🔥🔥🔥
You fooled the pants out of me too! Sneaky sneaky man! Hope to see you again at Magic Live this year! And. A 5th time on fool us!
♥️ We’ll see what the future brings! But yes, I’ll definitely see you in Vegas!
Hilarious & very well done! Love it!
There was only ~25 sec between teller miming the slap and the reveal using the cards. In working out the method, P&T have often mentioned how important time is in working out methods. P&T would have realized that with only ~25 sec available, there were very restricted options for different possible methods. So it probably made it much easier for P&T to guess the method. Although, i am sure that even P&T might of doubted that anyone would use such a method because of the crazy amount of work required.
For the fooler format, it is better to ensure that the set up allows for several plausible methods with the most unlikely method being the one used. So simply lengthening the time between the mimed slap and the reveal might have introduced some doubt into P&Ts guessing (and an FU trophy?)
But a truely innovative and novel trick. You are in a class of your own. Well done on a fantastic effect. Congrats!
25 seconds? All TV is edited for time. Also, he didnt need to write anything. He could show one set of cards as someone sultaneously wrote the next cards.
The best magician ever!!! Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
Greetings to Italy, Fabio! Thank you so much!!!
@@OndrejPsenicka …think to have watched your three magic tricks on P&T Fool Us “…2 thousands, 7 hundres and 4 times…” …” don’t applaude “😆😆😆😆
What a Genius❤️
Maestro!! Multi-dimensionally magnificent my friend 🔥🔥
Multi-dimensional love is pouring your way, good Sir. As always. ♥️🙏
I loved the magnolia show and so on, this trick was a wonderful reminder for the fact: You are so strong in both worlds - reallife & digital! Thanks for sharing. ❤
Thanks David, thank you for being a part of the journey. ♥️🙏
Pecka, jako vždycky. Díky (za dobrou reprezentaci ČR) :))
Třeba si ponožky v sandálech zapamatují ;)
I love that routine. So hard to figure out when watching it because it's difficult to even have a clue what to look for!
♥️ Thank you, Rich!
Great performance!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much, Ebnu!
I don’t care if you fooled them or not, this is absolutely excellent. 🎉
Thank you, John! I appreciate it. :)
I adore this routine, so clever and funny
Thank you! ☺️
love this trick - for a show like fool us, I feel like it runs into that sorta problem where like. if a disappearing and reappearing trick is so perfect that it has to be twins, you've figured it out it's twins. This trick only has one way it could ever be possible, and therefore by process of elimination you have to conclude it's that way. An absolutely incredible piece of performance art though!
Fantastic performance from a renowned Prague Magician...Czech ✅
Yes! Another czech off my bucket list!
Bylo to skvělé
Děkuju, Denisi! Brzy na viděnou. :)
I don't often see a magic trick that works because of screens that doesn't cheat with screens. Good job.
it is a screen cheat, just a particularly elegant one, if i’m correct in how it was accomplished
It's always a pleasure to watch you man!~ Great work, probably you're better off with live performances?
Maybe, but I love doing both equally. :)
Love it ❤
♥️🙏
Awesome magic trick! You've fooled me!
Yay! Thank you! :)
Unreal, man. So cool. 👊😎
Thank you! 👊😊
Penn got the Sympathy For The Devil joke as you knew he would.
Your tricks and personality are awesome! Greetings from Mexico.
Thank you! Greetings to Mexico! ✨
Prostě ten nejpošahanější kouzelník ze všech musí být z ČR. Geniální počin :D
😆 Mám radost, že vás to baví!
The greatest revenge arc in the history of magic
Sorry was Penn's code saying that ondrej just had like, 30000 versions of each panel so that they could get every possible combination?
You are one of my favourite foolers (3 times!!! 👀)
Still an amazing performance even if it didnt fool them!
Thank you SO much!
Superb trick !!
Thank you! 🙏
Its sad so few people here understand the monumentality of what he did. Its easy to make some hand-waving claims. It is an order of magnitude harder to put the tech, planning, and hard work into actually pulling it off so smoothly. Marvelous!
Very impressive!
Thank you! 🙏
🔥🔥🔥
Nádhera! Každé vystúpenie vo Fool Us úplne neuveriteľné! Len tak ďalej, štvrtá trofej čaká!
For those who struggle pronouncing his name, it's pronounced "Ondrej Psenicka". You're welcome !
Thank you for finally breathing some clarity into this age old puzzle! 😊 Thank you!
not fooled but amazed about the execution.
Great trick. Just one question: was any of the Пшеничкаs a live feed or were they all pre-recorded?
Thank you! What do you think?
@@OndrejPsenicka maybe sometimes. Either that or you just recorded all the words 😂
Please, I just wanna know, how long did it take u ? xD
You're such a great performer ahahah, just imagining you setting this up is crazy enough 😂😂😂
Too long, and I loved every second of it!
This was a lot different from the usual ones :D
Thank you for noticing!
This was the beat reaction to being busted by P&T I have ever seeing. So impressed with the code language used
Yes, I was very impressed.
you are amazing bro
You are
Great act
I loved it !! 😊
I also
Děkuju, Ronjo! :)
Did they definitely have the method? Penn didn't seem to be using a code (unless it totally passed me by). Anyway, congrats on another phenomenal piece. This must have taken months to get right.
What's considered the "magic trick"? The being on 6 cameras at once? Or the correct thing written down? The first, though it might be complex visual effects doesn't feel like a "magic trick" any more than superman flying in movies or Gandalf sitting next to Frodo. The second seems trivial since the cards are off camera and could've been written afterward. Hell we don't even know if the cards really said anything or were just blank cards with visual effects putting words on them in the feed.
Allison was so natural with this job, like everything was a flow. She never forced anything, or fake laughed for no reason.
U never see someone's impact until there gone😢❤
I have the same thoughts.
Brooke is a much more sexy and beautiful, tasty treat.
Hezky homeoffice oblek, musime jim tam prinest trochu nasi kultury do te USA 🤣 Pobavilo, jako vzdy, hlaska "thank me", pecka 😄
Ano, jen ať se poučí o naší cultural fashion! 😎
Video-looping, but very well done.
Aww, his daughter is beautiful - what a great guy.
🥰
příště to určitě vyjde
Always love to see you Ondrej! Such creative and fun tricks.
Thank you so much, Oliver! 🙏
I usually don't like technology tricks. Using phones to turn back time or pulling a real object off a computer screen with a picture of that object, etc. But this one, this trick, was so good! Loved it! No idea how you did it. Super entertaining. Great. Very well done!
Wow, P&T got it wrong! No Penn, it wasn't like the other trick where Ondrej had to 'repeat every choice!' I think Penn drew a blank with that explanation! Wink-wink! They got it wrong and man, that was so classy of Ondrej to smile and agree to their misguided guess. A class act, Sir. "Discretion is the better part of valour".
They have judges who know how it is done. If they got it wrong, then the judges would let them know.
😉😁
I feel like the code speech showed that Penn actually did not know how the trick was done. And when you said: "I'm sure they do" it seemed like you were also a little surprised because Penn's comments did NOT indicate understanding the trick! I thought you were very gracious though, and made the most professional choice accepting that THEY think they knew how it was done!
There was some not-actually-code in there, just nicely obfuscated.
The process in place is that when the act is done, Penn and Teller have to explain to their producer how they think it was done. The producer will confirm or deny them right then. Nothing is left to chance anymore. They will then quickly hash out what code words to use to tip off the magician that they were caught or make up incorrect ones to use if they want to make a bit more of a show of things. The latter bit, in the past, has been the undoing once or twice, where the act thought Penn and Teller knew how it was done, and took the loss, but had actually won.
@@ConstantlyDamaged Ah, I see! That's reassuring to hear. Thanks for that thoughtful reply - well explained and much appreciated my friend!
Exactly. :)
❤
Awesome performance!! Ondrej is so creative, funny, and charismatic; it's a pleasure to watch what you come up with. But, this one was really easy to figure out: Ondrej obviously has five identical sextuplets, and this was all done live with no pre-recordings. Better luck next time!
There you go! This method is spot on! 🥳😃✨
"Thank me", overlooked joke that I thought was pretty funny.
wow great trick
Even if this was done by juggling between live and pre-recorded footage it still requires an immense amount of timing and effort. Either way, it was magic for me.
I think i know how you did this and if so, im super impressed.
Impressive is what I always go for so I am glad I delivered. 🙃
Wow thats a startling trick! Love it!!!
Glad you liked it!!
I know how it's done and as Penn said --- a LOT of work.
I think this trick is fairly easy to understand (i think i got it, at least) but the act is hilarious, i watched all of your appearances a few days ago and i had a great time with each of your performances. You're great! Big up from Italy!
Greetings from Prague! I want to know your theory. Tell us! :)
@@OndrejPsenicka my theory is that 5 Ondrej are pre recorded, while one of them is not (I also think that Penn used code when he said you where switching places). I think so at least, if not, you fooled me and I'm glad you did!
Any chance you're performing in Vienna?
No plans yet.
On your 3rd time, I still don’t know how you had Allison force a card on a random person. Penn said you did but it looked really clean to me.
Watch how he fans the cards to the audience. You can only see a sliver of each. Most likely every other card but the bottom had "Say 8H" written on it no matter what the guy picked.
You are awesome, as always.
You are!
Wow! Do they tell you after the show how they think you did the trick? Or they just say they know?!
They don't. They just say they know. But I trust the process.
Fascinating! Anyway just rewatched all previous shows and you did great 👌
Looking forward watching you live!
Really cool effect, and I love the idea of using Zoom as part of a magic trick. Here's how I believe it's done...
The live Ondrej is switching around between the different boxes.
- At 3:09, Ondrej is in the top right. We know because he repeats the F-word
- At exactly 3:17, you can see that there is a subtle cut in the video of the top right Ondrej. Now, the top right is pre-recorded
- We know at 3:42 that the top middle one is the real Ondrej because he says "like a slap in the face"
- At 4:57, we can see that the top middle Ondrej is still in the camera shot, and yet Ondrej walks onto the stage. This means that the real Ondrej came from the empty top left
The reveal at 4:16: I believe that Ondrej simply pre-recorded a lot of different possibilities. The top left and top middle could've stayed the same (it's just "WORD THAT RHYMES WITH"), and for the top right, he pre-recorded a lot of different possibilities. Because it's "rhymes with" and he didn't guess the exact word, he could've recorded a lot fewer videos. The cut at 3:17 is when he switched from the live version to the pre-recorded variant that reveals "DUCK!" If Penn chose a different word, he would've switched it with a different pre-recorded video.
For the Teller part, the bottom left could've stayed the same ("LIKE A"), and for the bottom middle and bottom right, he also pre-recorded a lot of possibilities. I don't see the cuts here (probably cut out of the final take by the producers), but it's probably done the same way, where he has a lot of pre-recorded possibilities, and then just swaps the video with the right choice.
The trick is similar to his last performance -- Ondrej is more than willing to spend hours upon hours recording many different variants of a video, with the final variant chosen based the real-life outcome.
Anyway, great trick! :)
Thank you! I appreciate you spending so long getting such a detailed description! Clearly, you are not far from the truth. ;)
