Such an easy trick. I can see the guy standing next to him in the invisibility suit handing him stuff when he needs it. The invisible guy is doing all the work!
It fooled ME, and that's what matters. One thing I especially enjoyed was that this is not a card trick; because so much of what we see on Fool Us is a card trick. You did something unique! Well done!
I love this guy, I've been in his theater many times in Old Town Kissimmee, sometimes other magicians perform strongly recommend visiting to enjoy his show
The amazing part is knowing what to expect and still being impressed by the execution. What a flawless performance. It is obvious the hours it took to make this trick seem so effortless.
I love that when the chalk came out the audience knew what was coming next, even though you could hear their disbelief in their reaction. I would love to see this done live, what an impeccble performance! ❤
In my live performances, I can hear my audience talking to each other. And after the chalk comes out, I can _hear_ someone saying, "Psh, what's next, the pool cue?" And when it pops out just a moment later, the room goes nuts. It's the best.
@@magicofjafo every bit of that trick was beautiful. I don't have Penn's expertise and don't usually try to work out how a trick is done. In this case I enjoyed your artistry, the music and the whole performance. I'd love to see it performed in front of a live audience.
@@magicofjafo That was exactly my thought and the next thing you‘d have heard would have been my jaw hitting the ground... I‘ve binged a lot of P/T Fool Us episodes but your performance was one of the very best, thank you for sharing it here on YT!
Incredible. The ‘hole’ routine was just amazing! Watched it three times it’s so beautifully fascinating. The icing on the cake is watching this in 2024 and still seeing the lovely Alyson!
Brother, that was flawless and a Beautiful piece of magic. You are the shoulders we stand on. You will certainly be remembered as one of the Greats. It truly was a pleasure to experience!!!
This is one of my favorite kinds of tricks. I personally really like to know how tricks are done, some amazing effects are achieved through methods that feel cheap. This effect is far from cheap, even if you know how it's done it's so smooth that it still doesn't quite feel real. Absolutely lovely execution.
Jafo used to live in our hometown in Tennessee. He would do magic tricks in the living room for us. He made a coin float 1 time that blew my mind. He never would reveal how! It makes me proud that someone from my hometown is a master at his craft!
I really don't care how it's done. As always impressed with Penn and Teller and the sheer knowledge of their craft. And often times I love it when they call out the magician. In this case, even though they knew, I loved the elegance of the trick more than my need to know how it was done. What I loved the most about this trick, was the fluidity especially when he stuck his arm visibly through the hole into the direction of us, the audience, to then turn around and without missing a beat present another ball. That moment made it complete for me. Very well done mate! Loved it!
I recently saw Jafo in Orlando and he does a really great show! Both amazing and entertaining! I would surely recommend stopping in if you're in the area. 👍👍
This illusion was very well executed, and I think adding talking to it would have diminished its effect. Some tricks rely on fast talk and patter, and some, like this, are more eloquent in the silence. Very well-done, and very entertaining.
Penn and Teller should try promoting a road tour of magicians that appeared on their show. They can call it The Fool us road tour. The Magicians that fooled them get to be head liners.
Very nice! Even if you know how it's done (and I can only make an educated guess), it's still really impressive! How smoothly and cleanly it's done - actually doing it requires so much more skill and practice than simply describing (or in my case, guessing) how it's done.
@@fairamir1 penns coding has always been easy to understand. He mentioned the guy idk who he is but obviously that’s how he did it. And he said collapse and also mentioned the suit fitting him well. So the pool cue has to be collapsible and the balls were in his sleeve
Penn's comment at the end is spot on. I'm nothing even close to an expert, but I kinda figured out all the work going on behind the scenes from watching, and I'm even _more_ impressed by it as a result. Those are some strong fingers and impressive reach, and even getting the forearms involved? it took me a bit to notice that! Still trying to figure out that final cue, though. I guess some mystery is a good thing too. I applaud a fantastic performance.
So the pool cue is collapsible? If it’s not and I’m misreading penns code then I don’t understand how he pulled the cue out like that. You can see behind the board. He’s not pulling it from the table or his shirt lol
No way! We had a mutual friend in Cincy a loooooong time ago and I was able to hangout with you a few times. We would go to a bar down the street from our place and it was always awesome when you would perform for random people and blow their minds. So crazy this popped up in my feed, congratulations Jafo!
Very nice, very slick. I was only guessing how you did it, because I couldn't see anything. A couple of Penn's comments makes me think I at least have an idea of how it was done, but man, had I not had almost 9 years of watching P&T FU I would not have had a clue. Well done!
Ah I wished I lived closer so I could come to your show. This was one of the best routines I saw on full us, it was an experience. I have no idea what the hell you did, and after so many slight of hands tricks I thought looking around would tell me something but that was just out of this world. Do something like that 500 years ago and youre doomed bro.
Did they though? Maybe a hunch unless you are a magician? Just saying _oh he must pull them from somewhere out of his jacket_ doesn’t count. No shit Sherlock… the fact you can’t tell by his performance, knowing fully well they are real biljart balls, defines this trick. Flawless execution at that too!
@@jwvandegronden I think you misunderstood Adams comment. He’s basically saying that that effect was so clean and uncomplicated story wise that it didn’t need the magician to be constantly explaining what was happening. He was complimenting the magician on a beautifully constructed trick.
Such a clean performance. I was like "what's next, the pool cue?" and when it appeared I just lost it 😂 on a side note, I don't know if it's just me but has somebody already told you that you look like Dr. House, M.D?
I was very much taken by Penn's comment right towards the end: "If you knew how it was done, you'd be just as impressed". Says a lot for pure professionalism.
I figured the billiard balls, and I saw the chalk get loaded, but the pool cue was phenomenal. As P&T said, it was beautifully executed and a ton of fun to watch! I don't care if I do know how it's done, it's still magical to see it performed and makes me feel like a little kid =)
I don't see how it could be real but also looking at it I don't see how it could be a gimmick either. It looks 100% authentic and he also slides his hand up and down like a real cue stick. Furthermore he normally does this only a few feet away from the audience. I could see a collapsible stick looking good on a stage, sure. But one that still looks convincing from 5-10 feet away? That's pretty damn impressive. Although that kind of seems to be the theme with the comments on this one. Knowing how it's done can be arguably more impressive than than the illusion itself.
I feel like Penn talked longer than he needed to here but there were so many stages to the trick and different methods used and I think he just wanted to cover them all so you weren't like "ok, well what about that thing at the end?" ...I dunno sometimes I feel bad for the magician when Penn is giving a long explanation that probably says more than necessary. Anyway, all your moves were flawless and it was a very clean and beautiful act.
it's a well done sleight of hand trick, but his execution was off during a couple of the parts, and you can see things moving if you know where to look. I think the multiple camera angles are partly to blame, but it's still an impressive display of dexterity, and Penn is 100% right that even if you knew exactly how it was done it'd still be worthy of applause.
I love P&T Fool Us and I LOVED Pen & Teller: Bullshit even more. I really wish they’d bring Bullshit back, but I really just wish that P&T would host more TV shows.
How smooth it is almost works against it--- you seem so self-assured that even when something incredible happens it just seems like it's not a big deal.
@@magicofjafo a pet monkey would make sense. *nods* But seriously, I like to watch magic for the same reason I like detective shows - I like to 'solve' it. I've noticed it a few times in Fool Us, sudden perspective changes to hide some detail (in one act, watching it back, you could tell the cut covered a deck switch that was visible from the camera angle) and I'm pretty sure I know why they made the editorial choice in this one (I'm thinking the original angle makes a costume detail too visible) but it means it's kind of like watching a detective show where they hide all the clues. It's not a complaint about the act - it's a frustration with the show editing
@@MichaelJohnson-kq7qg just know that a camera might change to cover a deck switch for the same reason that you wouldn't notice the same switch when seen in person. But Ithink in this case, the camera changed just to break up the monotony of the front camera. There was nothing really to hide or cover in that moment. 🤷♂️
This is a great trick. Penn wasn't correct though, when you now how its done you're not as impressed, but even more impressed than when you don't know. Bet that took a lot of practice and confidence in your abilities to get to this flawless performance
The magic is in the execution of the trick. This was entertaining and flawless. This is the type of magician you pay to go see.
I like the fact that he didn't feel the need to talk at any time during the performance and was letting the magic and his movements carry the show.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade Good point!
If you’d guess how much to pay to see this you’d be there all day. $10 and $20 for vip which includes 2 shows.

This is the kind of magic that I love. It has a nostalgic feel using some old school techniques, but with some new twists.
Jerry Andrus was an amazing magician, for sure.
This act, however, was gorgeous. I love the way it all makes sense when all the pieces are together.
This guy was amazing and original. I know that he based it on someone else but I've never seen it done and it was perfection
If there wasn't only one possible way for this to work, I would have no idea what was done. Very cleanly done.

Seen him in Orlando about a year ago. Amazing guy and personality! Believe it was old town
When Penn, says if you knew how it was done you'd still be just as impressed, he's not kidding. Love these kinds of acts, well done!

Everything was very smooth and flawless.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Very cool performance! Nice work, sir!
One of the most beautiful and astounding tricks I've seen!
Thanks! That's kind of you to say.
Flawless! Looked effortless, but you would really have to have billiard sized balls to try something this difficult in front of Penn & Teller. Bravo.
That's why I walk out so slowly.
@@magicofjafo 😂
@@magicofjafo LOL!! Awesome _with_ a sense of humor!
Penn’s right. I learned how the basic trick was done and I’m genuinely amazed at this variant.
Oh this is just gorgeous

This one the guys I fell deserved a one night performance. The Way perform was so crisp even silent you waited for each action.
This is so beautiful...
I knew that the cue was coming and I did not spot how and have no clue what you did. Brilliantly done.
Wow! Fantastic!
Thanks, brother. I appreciate the kind words.
This is one of the top performances on the show!
That's very kind of you to say.
What an absolutely fantastic routine! I enjoyed that from beginning to end
I've watched this since the first season. This is one of the best especially when he pulled out the cue.
I think we just watched a grand master. That was so convincing I swear you are carrying around a portal.
such a flawless and clean act. so awesome
The effect is flawless. Really nice trick.
I recently saw Jafo in Orlando and he does a really great show! Both amazing and entertaining! I would surely recommend stopping in if you're in the area. 👍👍
This illusion was very well executed, and I think adding talking to it would have diminished its effect. Some tricks rely on fast talk and patter, and some, like this, are more eloquent in the silence. Very well-done, and very entertaining.
Beautifully put! Exactly my feelings about this flawless performance.
I think i may have figured this one out but at the same time it was so smooth i liked it more than most. Great vid!
somwhow i havent seen this performance before now, just amazing!!!
Beautiful performance! I loved it!
I like how there were no words said. It's how magic is truly done. Very fun to watch. Great execution!
Penn and Teller should try promoting a road tour of magicians that appeared on their show. They can call it The Fool us road tour. The Magicians that fooled them get to be head liners.
That's a great idea maybe they should go on tour with magicians from seasons 1- the current season or fooled us
I would suggest a tour with all the magicians who _didn’t_ fool them but who received high praise for their skill, story telling etc.
How about The Fool and His Road Tour?
Very nice! Even if you know how it's done (and I can only make an educated guess), it's still really impressive! How smoothly and cleanly it's done - actually doing it requires so much more skill and practice than simply describing (or in my case, guessing) how it's done.

So what is your guess?
@@fairamir1 penns coding has always been easy to understand. He mentioned the guy idk who he is but obviously that’s how he did it. And he said collapse and also mentioned the suit fitting him well. So the pool cue has to be collapsible and the balls were in his sleeve
@@Mike-we3rb apparently the trick is doable in shorts and a T-shirt, otherwise I'd expect his sleeves to be the culprit as well.
the code "juggling" means the balls are passed around from one hand to another.
Very entertaining show. Greatly enjoyed it!

After he pulled out that chalk, I was thinking this dude is not going to pull out a cue. And then he bloody did! Like what the...
I saw the pool ball and pool stick but I didn't see the pool-table.😅😂🤣
Okay, the cue blew my mind a bit. gotta admit. Well done!

A performance of this with a clear board would be pretty cool to watch kinda like when penn and teller did cups and balls with clear cups
I might do this during lectures. I like it.
It could be done with some adjustments, but man that would take even more hours of practice than Jafo has already clearly put in.

Says a lot for pure professionalism.

So smooth 👏👏👏
This the type of show I pay money to see!
I know how it is done but Penn's right. I'm still impressed. It was fun to watch.
Worth watching just for the amazing pool cue reveal
Simple yet so clever.
Have you ever watched the movie Blue Thunder?
Beautiful!
I'm pretty sure I know the trick is done and if it's done the way I think it's done... Damn, that's genuinely hella impressive!

Definitely have tricks up your sleeve lol 😂
Yes. My arms lol.
I think I gleaned it from what Penn said at the end, and if I did it really is just as impressive
I’m gonna set my little stack of quarters on the edge of the pool table. That’s some nice felt.
I can see all happening in background, although only thing bugging me is the stick !
I think it was a compressible prop maybe !
