- Ali Cook’s second appearance on Penn & Teller Fool Us Season 7 2020 with host Alyson Hannigan.
Follow him on Instagram: ali_cook?h...
Special thanks to the late great Don Wayne for designing this illusion and for the prop builder John Gaughan and tweaks by Scott Penrose.
You can watch the full episode on the CW channel and it also features one of my favourite magician's Tony Clark.

*mom who has a tarot card shop* asks son when he's gonna 'get a proper job' is the biggest trick of this whole show
😂😂😂
@@alicookofficial But you didn't get the girl to show us her DOB she wrote on the paper to prove 100% it was her DOB?
@@massatube no need too. Her reaction proves it
@@alicookofficial We don't go on reactions, we go on proof. I'm sure it would be her DOB but. Oh she wrote on that pad and you have the DOB impression on the 2nd page and somehow gave it to the hot snake woman but I'd have to watch it again to see how she got the right coin into her mouth. Thx for commenting.
I think the best trick is 5:53-5:55 where the entire snake and box entirely vanished instantly from stage 😉
The magic of an edit
And the girl, she must have been in a hurry to sit down as well. haha
I am very surprised that no one is talking about how well executed the goddess is. visually it is quite powerful as something to see on stage. very good.
👍👍👍
Absolutely wonderful and the literal centrepiece of this elegant trick!
@@mikesrandomchannel Thanks guys. Glad you like it
Especially if you imagine it in a dark carny tent with a fog machine and torches for illumination.
She was beautiful I loved it!
Guy should pick a small series of magic telling through eras of time. He has the gift for it. Could do magic and explain it too. Prob would be a hit
Cheers dude.
@@alicookofficial Yeah for real learning about ancient magic adds a whole new dimension of interest to it
@@ItsNotMeitsYouTu8e Cheers. Thanks for watching
As a bit more fun to the act when he said she can even predict how many times a week my mum asks "When are you going to get a proper job?" The snake tail should have wagged really fast. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’ll put that bit in.
I usually find that at most, the background of a story is just a nice setting. With you, you can feel your genuine interest, and it was more of being brought back to ancient history to learn about it and enjoying a trick, than a trick. It's not even about the magic here. Would be awesome for you to do a magic history series where you take people back to history, what it would be like, and telling it through the ancient magic history you know. One of my favorite magic acts!
Wow lovely compliment. Thanks!!!
@@alicookofficial where can I learn more about these trick statues?
@@_Atzin Hi Atzin - there is a book called The History Of Magic by Milbourne Christopher.
@@alicookofficial Oh wow I didn't expect you to reply so quickly thank you very much!
@@alicookofficial yep the history of magic by Melbourne Christopher I have that book that also has forward by David seth kotkin Copperfield and on on cbs tv commercial Copperfield suggest this book and other books in your nearest book store or library to help you read more about it
This is the best contest show: everyone is happy and smiling, even if the trophy is not won.
Really nice performance, very interesting to watch.
Thank you!
Thanks dude. 🙏
Yep this and Americas Got Talent are my two favorites,.
When I was going down a Penn & Teller rabbit hole, I really didn’t expect to see a live recreation of Alexander the False Prophet’s Glycon. Lucian would probably be proud of this performance!
😂😂 Thanks for watching
The title "Ali Cook and the Snake Goddess"
My brain: Ali cooks the snake
😂😂
My brain read "The Cook and the Snake Goddess."
@@unsungno1 😂😂😂
I am more amazed at how the snake lady vanished at 5:55
The magic of editing! Amazing!
@@TheBull06 lmao
Lolz 🤣🤣🤣
The trick is great, but the thing that really amazes me is the fact that this dude is still reading and replying to comments.
Big respect, my dude!
Additionally, happy New Year! Wishing you all the best.
Happy new year!
I still don't know.. I got fooled. Love from India. Wonderful act.
Thanks for watching Piyush
Another great performance by Ali..I still re watch the chicken and the duck routine due to its amazing delivery and showmanship. You are a natural on the stage. Brilliant at talking, great comedy.
Well done..🤘❤️
Cheers Dazza!!
i like how the tail of the snake was constantly moving
You know when you have a sophisticated audience when seeing a woman with the body of a snake and no one gasped.
Absolutely loved the theatrical execution of this, definitely one of the most interesting performances on the show; a well told story, an excellent visual, and a flawless use of the fundamental trick behind the act, wonderfully done
Cheers dude.
What a beautiful performance. One can only imagine how people reacted to these illusions thousands of years ago. I assume people were quite terrified.
🙏🙏🙏
yeah, back then the biggest trick was to walk the thin line between "this is god, let's worshipt it" and "this is witchcraft, let's burn it"
That was one of the best performances I’ve ever seen in fool us! A truly amazing routine, and the focus on the magic history creates an amazing narrative that is almost impossible to ignore! Can’t wait to see more!
Wow. Thanks Carter!!
Trick aside, I really love the aesthetics of the box. It brought back a lot of memories from my childhood seeing wonderful displays like yours that were both magical as well as being just a little scary. You did a wonderful job building that. Well done!
Thanks! It was built by Don Wayne and John Gaughan. The snake was made by a company who build monsters for Doctor Who. So a lot of people worked on it.
I've always been a big fan of the Egyptian pantheon. I loved the performance of this trick as much as the trick itself.
I would pay to see this. Its entertaining
Cheers Darel
I love that PEN AND Tellers show with the old illusion magic awesome 👌
Gorgeous!
I like illusion it's awesome
"Now this is just a normal snake god egg" deserves a bigger laugh.
I agree. It was my favourite line.
This was just a gorgeous bit of magic. Thank you for showing it to the world! I love magic that has a bit of that old school terrifying feeling to it.
Thanks so much!! 🙏🙏🙏
Very cool act
Thanks dude
Would definitely watch a series about magic history presented by you..... More interested in the history and methodology than in performing, but it's hard trying to find good documentaries. Plenty of books, of course.
I keep thinking about this. It’s a great idea.
@@alicookofficial I'm sure you have the contacts to pitch it, in addition to the expertise and knowledge. Would genuinely love to see something like that - read various histories by Dawes, Daniels, and I read Steinmeyer as fast as he writes them. But it'd be good to see a well-made visual presentation. Do it :-)
@@alicookofficial Do it! You've got a great voice for it too. It's easy to listen to you explaining stuff.
@@aheadatime Thanks 🙏 🙏
yea i’d pay money to watch a series on magic history.
Fool us is a amazing platform for magicians to perform their magic.
I love that magicians perform a diversity of magic just to entertain everyone
I still love the performance even if you didn't fooled them.
Edit:and your humour was just outstanding
Thanks Sameet!
This is a really, really fun pairing of modernized old illusions. Great presentation!
Cheers Don!
This was great! I'm upset youtube didn't show this to me until now, it was a beautiful performance with great historical information!
Thanks for watching
4/4 stars for entertainment, magic, visual appeal of props, and your personality! Thanks, Ali!
Thanks Steve. Much appreciated!!! 🙏
4/4 stars for having a dice with only 4's
Visually very good novel act.!
Thanks Caroline
Me at school history: *sleeping*
Me studying ancient history: “i meed to know more”
Well now I need to read a biography on Al Koran, lol.
What a performance!
🙏 ♥️
I'm just a fan of magic in general... every couple months or so i'll binge on as much as I can... I've seen enough people doing the "write this down and then I'll guess it or put it somewhere" setup... but it really was interesting that it was on a coin, IN an egg, IN HER MOUTH... every time i've seen it before it's usually like, "ON THIS CANVAS THAT'S IN PLAIN SIGHT THE WHOLE TIME"
Cheers Ben 💥
I love that you incorporate lore and history into your act. Very well presented and great sense of humor. I truly enjoyed your performance!
Some crazy editing between 5:52 and 5:56, where all the props disappeared.
It’s just timing for the show.
You should give the props team a fooled us trophy
I think it was a magic trick
I loved the Naga! Even if I can figure out how she is put together, the snake portion of her was amazing.
Thanks!!
First came across you on 50 greatest magic tricks. Was a fan way back then and still a fan now. The slight of foot trick on restaurant's greasy kitchen floor was magic in itself =]
Thanks Chet!! 💥
Visually stunning! The history nerd and magic enthusiast in me loved this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
No clue how the egg got into her mouth. It wasn't there when she hissed a minute earlier. I just love this stuff. Well done
Cheers James. Thanks for checking it out
Clearly she was the real snake god and penn and teller was just too scared to say they where fooled
Hai
The girl that wrote her birth date on that paper is an assistance. Of course he & "snake" all ready knew that & the egg & necklace medallion was pre made. That's called "rat trap". He didn't fool anyone but you due too your numbness.
@@dewaynehickman4996 is that how it is performed? If so, that's not magic. Anybody can do that by having an accomplice. Again, if that's how it was done, such 'magic' shouldn't even be allowed on the show, because it entails no skill, just an accomplice who is presented as a stranger. In other words, a complete lie.
The simple tshirt/attire is super relatable and actually made the performance more attractive to me, as it really makes it seem less like an act and much more of an experience
This is on top of all the wonderful reception i agree with wholly, each compliment more than enough, and overall not enough
Hi. I’m glad you like the performance and thanks for watching. In 2003 me and my mates made a tv series called Monkey Magic where we deliberately wore jeans and a t shirt and moved away from the traditional image of a magician.
Amazing, I really enjoyed this. The magician did a fantastic job.
This guy making a magic stage trick uses much better ambience and lore from ancient rites of magick than any tarot store and most occultism books.
What an absolutely brilliant performance! I've never seen anything like it before. Great execution; well done!
Thank you 🙏
What an amazing performance and much grace and elegance too! Bravo!!
Wow. Thank you!!
I would definitely like to see more ancient magic
Thanks!!!
He knew the volunteer.
I swear seeing Ali here in this video has made my 2020 so much better. What a treat. You're awesome Ali!!!! P.S. I have never looked at a duck or chicken without hearing Live And Let Die since I first saw you on Fool Us. LOL.
Thanks so much for your support!! 💥
TH-cam algorithm recomended me this video in 08/04 , nice job lmao
Thanks for checking it out.
I must say this is trully a beutiful act!
Cheers 🥂 🐍🐍
I enjoyed every minute of it,beautiful routine!
Cheers Ken. Glad you enjoyed it!!! 🙏🙏♥️
That was a wonderful performance!!!! One of the best!
Thanks Ethan 😊
I loved the trick.
Thank you!!
Ali is a damn good and very inventive magician. He was on a tv series years ago in the UK called Monkey Magic, with Pete Firman Pete MCcahon and the incredible Jonathan Goodwin. Superb conjurer and an extremely likeable personality. Great act Ali.
Wow!!! Thanks for the kind words
Love your Magic Ali!!!!
Thanks Dennis!
Still an outstanding act! Loved the snake tail moving about. Well done, Sir!
Thanks Wilson!
amazing performance thank you so much.
Thank you 🙏 🙏🙏🙏
I really loved it Ali , anything to do with Egyptian history with magic is just brilliant . Haven't seen you for awhile on TV it's great to see you again . i'm a real fan of classic magic tricks i study the craft myself
Thanks for your kind words Sam and thanks for watching
I loved the trick; it was well performed.
Thanks Davina ♥️
YES Ali Cook - always awesome bro
✌️✌️✌️🐍🐍
My favorite Penn & Teller routine so far
Wow. High praise. Cheers Mohammed 🎉🐍
That was a fantastic act! 👏👏👏
Cheers Tim.
This is looks epic
Just beautiful : not just the story, the elegant presentation and the "prop" and the actress inside, but also the captivating execution. I think I know how this is done but who cares, loved this!
Cheers dude
Amazing presentation... a really terrific big stage act. I don't feel fooled by the coin, but I would still get my money's worth to see this spectacle. I think you deliver a unforgettable, creepy experience..
Cheers dude. 👍👍🐍🐍
Oh Ali - that was bl**dy brilliant!
So interesting, funny, and engaging. I completely forgot it was a magic trick/routine - I was just lost in the performance.
Doesn't matter you didn't fool them, because it was a wonderful tribute my friend.
Cheers dude. Thanks for the lovely comment. 👍👍🐍
Very entertaining Ali. Love it.
🙏🙏🙏🐍💥
As a person who did my Master thesis in the temple practice and worship of Glycon. I loved this act.
Really a wild effect.😊😊👍👍👍👍
Cheers Robert
that snake goddess was awesome!
Thanks 🙏
Of course Alyson Hannigan knows what a new age bookshop is!
I know I should’ve thought about that 🤦♂️
@@alicookofficial I didn't mean it as a criticism. Was just funny seeing that question after watching Buffy.
@@superfluidity I know 👍
Really entertaining, thank you ♥
♥️♥️
Wonderful!!! 🙌
Cheers dude!
I loved it!!
Cheers mate!
I just watched one video of the nail gun from my recommendations, now I get this as an ad. Kewl
Tha is for checking it out
I loved the routine, I think you should make a series about old magic and folklore, to get us into it via the story, and an accompanied magic act. It can be beautiful.
Also, one of the last scenes of the intro showed a robot, so I thought the goddess was a robot as well. But the goddess was looking real, all the eyes movement, the acting, so real...so, she was real, right?
You know what it would make a great tv series. I should pitch it. In the intro reel that was an automaton - an early robot made of wood. As for the snake god she is just a goddess.
Great set up and performance. Very entertaining. 👍
🙏✌️
Good performance
Thanks Bea!!
You are the out of mind sir😳😳 really great 😍❤️
Thanks 🙏
WoW i always love your shows,I am a big fan from Greece :) keep doing amazing works!
Thanks for watching!!!! ♥️🐍🐍
I don't know enough about the ways of the god Al Koran to know what you did, but I'm sure that even if I knew enough to see precisely what happened, without a reason to dislike said god, this was a very nice presentation
🙏🙏🙏
That’s a stunning routine and loved the sleight of hand always one of my favs
Thanks!
Ali you’re amazing, i loved your trick!. i wonder if you do shows i’d love to see one
I do check out my Twitter from time to time for live gigs.
That is a beautiful story!
Cheers my man 🐍
Loved the performance. Your combining classic magic effects with mentalism and mythology is brilliant.
Thanks I was trying to find a way to combine magic with mentalism and did it with the story. Glad you appreciate what I was trying to do 🙏
Good job! Really enjoyed it
Cheers Mark!
it was fantastic
Cheers
I seriously don't give a damn how he did it, it ws just too entertaining, and that's what I came here for... Thanks for a beautiful effect, buddy.... 😀
Cheers dude. High praise indeed
Canaanite ba'al
Was looking for someone to point this out as moloch

Hi Ali. This was a truly show act. Really really enjoyable my friend
Thanks Dude ✌️✌️🐍
Lmaoooo I thought Tom Scott was doing magic for a second! Loved this video btw, and the jokes 😂😂😂

P.S... Just to let you know you didnt fool me untill after I watched the video about 12 or 15 times ... After 15 times I kind of had an idea... But I still had to watch 15 more times to make sure I wasnt fooled... Simply amazing I hope to one day see you live... And once again thatsnk you for bringing a smile to my face!!!!
Thanks Mario! The main thing on Fool Us is to do something innovative. I love going on the show.
I have no clue how this worked unless it was prestaged
@@Binx75075 Thanks Jason. I can assure you, one of the rules in Fool Us is no pre staging allowed at all. 👍👍🐍
@@alicookofficial you had me with the birthday-well-before that;; how in the hell did you do that? my email is jmarmtgy@yahoo.com. share this with me,i'll never use it. just want to know. no matter what, i was blown away by the performance and hate that penn got it right. kudos my friend.
@@joemarcus4756 Hi Joe. I have to keep my tricks a secret my friend but thanks for your kind comments. 🐍🐍
Very nice video bro that was amazing 👍
