Scott Kahn, M.D. is an award-winning North Carolina-based close-up magician who has been performing magic for over 35 years.
Scott was born and raised on Long Island, where his interest in the magical arts began early in life at the age of eight. Throughout his college years, he regularly performed magic in many popular comedy clubs, including Governor’s and McGuire’s.
In 1999, Scott was awarded First Place in Close-Up Magic at the prestigious Magic & Fun Close-Up Magic Convention.
His original sleight-of-hand card effects have been published in both Genii, The Conjuror’s Magazine and MAGIC, the two largest publications for magicians in the world.
In 2015, he debuted "Kahnjuring: Deceptive Practices with Playing Cards," his first full-length book on card magic. His second book, "Kahnceptual Card Magic: More Deceptive Practices with Playing Cards," followed in 2017 to critical acclaim. His latest book, "Swindles, Scams & Kahns: Further Deceptive Practices with Playing Cards," was published in 2022.
In 2022, Scott made his national television debut on Season 8 of The CW series Penn & Teller: Fool Us.
Dr. Kahn is also an AAFP board-certified family medicine physician practicing in Clayton, North Carolina.
This guy is literally my doctor!? Helped diagnose my bicep tear 2 years ago. I never knew he was a magician!?!??!
so you have a magic bicep now?
@@LeviathanRX lol, not quite
No.
Ask him how he did this !!!
Guess he doesn't incorporate magic into EVERY appointment at his practice 😂
How is he talking so calmly yet his hands are trembling. That’s impressive
Essential tremor
I love how so many of these magicians have shaking hands during the trick. They're wobbling around, they're clearly nervous. But the moment they need to manipulate the cards at all? Smooth, practiced precision, the kind you only get through true muscle memory.
You can tell he's a doc by the way he signed the card. It's either his name, or an order for a 2vw chest xray.
🤣
Penn is such a grateful host. Even when he’s not fooled at all, he is gracious enough to complement his guests as much as possible. He doesn’t demean them, like Simon.
Best thing about FU, IMO. Also, the magicians are screened, and it's the talented ones that get to go up there and perform, whereas XFactor etc, at least in the early stages, it's anybody's game, and that leaves more room for ridicule both from the judges and audiences alike
Don't care that he didn't fool them, the story crafted by a magic trick was awesome.
Thank you so much!
Dr. Kahn is my doctor back home and he is literally the best
This guy is a real kahn artist
And you're a real pundit
I rly like how his hands shake because he is so nervous but he still managed it perfectly :)
Not nervous. Medical condition.
@@scottkahn3480 just curious as someone who has this condition, is it an essential tremor?
@@josmonlee13 yes
@@scottkahn3480 It's amazing that you do magic, and did that trick.
@@scottkahn3480 i myself am diagnosed with essential tremor and it very very hardly worsens when i get nervous and try to stay still. I couldnt sit straight on such a big show, it would be a nightmare
I can see he's a real doctor from the way he wrote his name on the card. It was completely and utterly illegible.
I LOVE this routine. I remember seeing it in Genii, and then getting your book. I love performing it; it blows people's minds. I love the truly deceptive method, too; that's one of the reasons I was drawn to the effect in the first place. I'm delighted you got to perform this on Fool Us - congratulations.
Thanks so much Andy. I’m thrilled that you perform it as well.
This is why the wait in the waiting room takes so damn long!
My favorite part about this show is that even the tricks that "fail" are still wonderfully performed tricks, and Penn, Teller, and all the guests are always such great sports about it. The show really is just a showcase of magic talent with a dash of competition thrown in.
Awesome trick! I think have a basic idea of what you did, but no idea how you pulled it off!
I seldom comment but not only a great trick and presentation - but a truly likeable man.
I'm careful to never see how a trick is done. I come here to be fooled, and enjoy it every time.
Very nice trick !! Was amazed and thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for your reply. I'm a Doc myself, and it was fascinating to watch you master the Art of Magic alongside the Science of Medicine. Please do keep it up, and continue to amaze us@@scottkahn3480
Now you have an autographed card to go with the bullet :)
Wow. What a story! Thanks doc for your profession and your magic!
7:30 -- You're most welcome, Alyson.
What a superb trick !! You're literally a Magician with cards, Doc Kahn !!
I got to see penn and teller as "asparagus valley" a few times when i was kid. So lucky.
Truly stunning -- thanks for sharing this brilliant illusion!
Thank you so much!!!
great trick but i was more impressed with the sharpie with a clickable top
I never saw that one coming either
The cards are lcd screens with touch capability :)
f a n c y
Sooooo.. you must be behind times 🤔 since click-top sharpies have been around since 2006…
@@assassinxsteveo if that’s true I’m behind the times as well lol
I love Teller's face when he sees the bullet up close
I am , I guess proudly, a sucker for tributes. I don’t mind you didn’t fool P&T, you truly entertained me, and made me wish you were my PCP!
Holy Hellz. That was not only smooth
but it was gutsy - clear cards? Amazing. 👏👏👏
Happy to say that this is one of the times that be figured out a trick, but that was such a great idea to use the clear cards! Really great performance and such an amazing piece of P&T history with the bullet! Fantastic performance!
Obviously the bullet has no real role to play in the trick, other then to bring a lot of joy to Penn and Teller, which it did, as for the trick, I couldn’t see through it.
Great performance! Let me second what Alyson said as well and thank you and all of your brothers and sisters for all that they've had to endure these past few years. My parents were both RNs in their earlier years and they've both shared some pretty heartbreaking stories along the way so my heart goes out to all of you having to face this mess day after day. Stay safe!
Thank you!!!
@@scottkahn3480 I'd like to know if the cvd deniers and conspiracy nuts still causing mayhem for you on a daily basis, or have they all crawled back under their rocks?
Very cleanly and smoothly done trick, Dr Kahn, and I strongly applaud anyone who dares to do a close-up magic trick right in front of P&T (I would have been shaking hands or voice from nerves alone). I've learned from watching them that anytime a magician retouches a deck of cards, you should almost always be suspicious of them. Still, very well done!
I know that was nerve-racking, but that was very well done! Congrats on your performance!
Thank you so much!!
This is definitely the coolest version of this trick.
Thanks so much!
Great trick and a wonderful story. I was rooting for the trophy!
Awesome job Doc! Awesome being a doctor but going after a passion.
I'm over here just learning about changing a card from blue to red back and thinking it was boring. Then TH-cam serves me up something that looks like I got to get good to do stuff that cool.
Really enjoyed the trick and the story behind the magic bullet. Funny how the smallest things seem to make the biggest impact🙂👍
Really fun performance!
Thank you! Good hearing from you...
Great trick made even greater by your wonderful treatment Doc❣️♣️♠️♦️
Wow..Love this trick..Haven't a clue how he did it and frankly I dint want to know..The delivery and entertainment was spot on.❤️👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
This show is very honest. I like it. Congrats Doctor.
The only thing I can think of is that you may have created a moment to do something fishy with the whole "oh sorry, here's a pen..." moment, but even then I wouldn't have a clue what you did, how you did it. Awesome trick.
I dont want to give it away, but I saw it on the first watch. It's performed very well. All ill say is watch it again but pay close attention to his actions rather than words.
@@YoBrand15 Saw it on the second watch. It's realy sneaky and brilliantly done.
Fantastic performance.
I have see so many trick and have no clue how this was done. Right until placing the selected card in the box you can see its the selected card.
With his last move Scott could have attached the King face to the card, but how his King changes to the 6 of diamonds I have no clue at all.
Great performance, really well done :)
That act was very cerebral. I loved it!
Doctor: what seems to be the problem?
Patient: I've been having trouble breathing
Doctor (Magician): I've got your nose!
Patient:
😂
😂
Really nice job of making the trick something interesting, that connects with the audience.
This was so cool!
:) That's very cunning. Bravo!
It’s so interesting how they use code and you still know what they’re saying lol
I wish all pediatric doctors of any sort were magicians. Take these guys for granted can tell he’s actually one of the good ones
They're great at making your money disappear.
@@twatmunro That's the system you got in place in the USA. Most western countries have free healthcare (at point of treatment), and even the amount of taxes we pay is far, far less than you guys fork out in insurance cover at at the point of treatment fees
Beautiful trick!!
Glad you think so! Many thanks!
Very nice rendition of a classic and the use of the transparent deck is a wonderful idea ❤
Thank you so much!
I remember that bullet catching routine like it was yesterday…
Me, too
That was such a cool trick! And great narrative too. Also, very unique set of cards! Thank you for sharing it
Trick aside, that is a very elegant deck of cards!
during the performance i felt it to be abit slow and long winded but after a while i got used to the pace and come to like it it made it not just different but also special and the moment you actualy figured out what the trick was to be .... man .. that was a beautiful piece of performance and looking back at all the slow pacing at the beginning ... i now feel thats just perfect the way it is... .. i dont have a clue how it was done at this point and i kinda hope ( i paused the video) pen wont give too much clues so it remains secret to me .. id like to remember it the way i feel right now atbout it :) just beautiful well done thanks for this performance
Thank you so much!!!!
@@scottkahn3480 just for the record ... i didnt get the clues so i can stil sit and wonder and enjoy that magic feeling :)
You know your stuff when you i invite both up for a close up performance!
I won't spoil it but I've been doing this exact illusion for a long time other than the signature part I always wanted to try with clear cards and it looks just beautiful
Great narrative set up.
Glad you enjoyed it
Really cool convincer with the clear cards. Though the marker misdirection moment felt somewhat contrived. Nice and relaxed style tho
Awesome
I can see how this can be done, but nothing shows in the rutine it us very clean and smooth all through
A very beautiful trick.
I only made it to 0:31 and had to pause it because I saw the view from the Boylan Bridge for just a few moments and instantly recognized one of my favorite places to watch the rails. 😀
Good job, dude.
Glad you liked it!
very cool. I loved magic ever since i started watching magicians. Great trick. Even if they knew it was still amazing for all the other audience.
I have that exact deck of transparent cards! Great trick!
great trick ! well done sir
Great trick! Love the clear cards; I have a deck m'self. :D
Nice job! That was a fun trick.
Yooo that was so cool!!
I can only imagine how it was be travelling with this trick. TSA: what’s this? Kahn: a magic bullet! Good luck getting on that flight!
It was not a problem. I just put it in my checked baggage. But I actually left a note for the TSA with the bullet... just in case they decided to inspect my bag.
You can fly with firearms and ammo as long as they're checked baggage and not carry on.
The magic bullet time traveled 23 years til this moment on the stage 😂
It was a great trick, but what I really want to know is, where do you get a magic marker that clicks!?
Look for the retractable sharpie.
I notice the second card was controlled by Scott. But even then, that must me near impossible to control Penn's card with clear cards. You'd notice the switch any time. So clever
I have those cards!!
Great stuff! If you find a better way to do the "oh sorrry" part, it would be a killer trick
how how how😂😭
Well done.
Great story and a nice fresh take on this illusion
Pretty sure I know what happened here. But I can't see it happening. Either this was very smooth to the point I can't see it, or I'm just wrong and stupid
Great convincer with the see through cards. A classic you made your own 😉
Thanks so much! 😊
Is it just me or was his hand shaking so much during the performance? But great great trick!!!!
Jason L would be proud :) I could see he was very nervous I would’ve been too. It’s not a hard trick to do but very good I like clear cards part.
What an amazing use of plastic cards
That's the same cheapie deck I had when I was 10 years old lol
well done
"it quickly calms down the patients" does it though? -> here is your kidney! and now it's not
"This is your spine" "wtf put it back" vibes.
Is *this* your aorta???
I try to think about how these are done, but I'm not sure about this one 😅 like i can think of maybe 2 ways to get it, but they seem more complicated and with a performance its usually so much simpler. Well done 😁
Beautiful
Thank you!!!
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!!!😫
Sorry for that Star Trek reference.
I couldn't resist 🤣
I loved this
I wonder ( if you have children) if your son or daughter in future is doing a trick with P and T and they pull out a plastic card and a bullet and say my dad got penn to sign this back in 2022 and my Gfather retrieved this bullet !from back in the day
I also reverse engineer my tricks. Its so much easier than other methods
Just for the record, the bullet that Penn spit out into your father's hand was never actually fired from that 357 magnum that night. 😊
Yeah it was- it was fired through glass and he caught it between his teeth - I watched it happen
he or someone he knew worked at Target in the early 2010s, as that's where those cards are from lol, I have the same deck
I think the way this trick works, it can’t be done without transparent cards :)
Actually it can. The purpose of the transparent card is just to make it look impossible, but no it's possible because they are not really transparent if you get what I mean.
@@amirul3233 right, the faces themselves are opaque
@@Gardengap yupp
I could see trough this magic trick the whole time!
clearly you were paying attention.
Yes you woulda thought they woulda had a Fool U Trophy just for the bullet. In fact you should of not told them about the bullet and say at the end. When I left this cup up here's the bullet you fired 23 years ago travelled through space time.
I hate that they don't clearly state what the magicians do. Leaves me so clueless, like how did you not fool them.
It wouldn't be fair to the magicians if they did. The moment remains magical for the audience (in person and online) when Penn and Teller don't clearly give away how the trick was done. No one would want to perform on the show if they knew that their best tricks would be given away to the general public.
Watch enough Fool Us and you'll start to figure out some of their code. Couldn't quite figure this one out, though
@@itsafunnyoldworld it only took me a few videos to understand his code. It’s extremely easy to understand lol. Also what did he say during the sneezes. I couldn’t understand what he said
It's frowned upon by magicians to reveal how tricks work. It can literally make you lose popularity and respect by the entire community. So I'm sure they wouldn't do that on live television.
Fantastic routine
Thanks for watching
pretty good trick
That magic bullet also travelled in time 23 years 😂
