I was so confused at the audience's random laughter, and why penn and teller had unusually great posture.
I thought it was because they were impersonators 😂
Nice profile pic
@@user-pi1id7si2g she is quite beautiful
@@topsykrett2431 she is a K-pop idol lol
It’s because they were hanging upside down
This was in my recommended after watching the vanity video lmao
I can watch a channel's videos im subscribed to all day and youtube wont even have their videos in the up next category and yet this happens to us.
Sameee tho
@@jennifercope7765 yezz
@@ryuhitsuya21 I think cases like this are based on the fact that a large amount of users decided to watch this after the Vanity Fair video, so the algorithm assumes most people would want to, which is perfectly reasonable.
lol same.
I’m watching this from so far into the future that I thought Penn & Teller were being portrayed by SNL cast members.
Same
....TIL that was Penn & Teller....
...and I'm so old, I watched this live. But it's great to rewatch...
I remember watching this live at the time and and when I saw they were doing it upside down, I thought holly crap. Most people would have passed out doing this.
You know what, so did I.😆
TIL: Teller isn’t actually short at all, Penn is just fucking massive.
I saw them in Vegas and met him afterward. I can confirm that he is indeed a GIANT
He’s an absolute unit of a man
I am 5'11" and standing in front of him was like being a kindergartener and looking up at your teacher.
Also he was super nice and friendly. There's a talent in making someone who figures nothing into your life feel like they're the most important thing you've got going on in that moment. Really pleasant conversationalist!
Well he did play a giant on Sabrina the teenage witch
Height, width, strength, gravelly roar. Penn is a genuinely a shaved wookie.
everyone at home must of been so confused at why everyone was laughing at all times for no reason
I absolutely was until reading these comments.
I'm always confused when people laugh at Saturday Night Live.
no Name *must have
We were. I saw this live. :-)
A Floyd correct but pedantic.
And Teller sounds EXACTLY the same today.
Damn
I know it is a joke..... but in reality is also true. XD
preserved the voice for ages
Didn't he say yeah at 2:05?
@@Q-TebGamesNL its weird how young they look and sound
Amazing how nobody's even considered how impressive it is that they were upside-down for over 6 minutes and didn't fall unconscious and were able to do a full performance, talking, bending "under" the table and juggling things around without even getting out of breath. Penn stumbling around at the end shows just how dizzying it must've been for them, they both can barely stand, hopping around all over the place! Serious props to them!
According to a video I just watched Pen in, they were upside down for hours before shooting, and they didn't get their trick right in any practice runs, but did perfect it live.
And teller eats
i dont know how anyone does it to be honest, if im upside down for 5 seconds my vision starts to darken and i feel like passing out... thats prob just me though, idk!
Lol why are we all here 7 years later
Their faces didnt even get very red which is impressive. But im betting they were already upsidedown for a while so when they came on you wouldnt notice a difference.
I've listened to Penn talk about this trick. It was physically so hard. When Penn go home and took off his makeup there were burst capillaries all over his face. They rehearsed this again and it got harder every time. Things screwed up again and again. The ONLY time everything went right was the live take.
Did you also hear that on Penn's Sunday School?
@@Grievous- yes indeed: my favorite Podcast. I don’t care for “magic” but I love that guy!
I can't imagine being upside down that long, let alone being able to talk straight through the ordeal
I remember him saying in an interview years ago that it was the lightbulb trick that got him specifically. He could never get the throws right, and he always ended up dropping it. He even had a cop-out line ready, in case it didn't go as planned, and SNL was the only time it went right.
@@BigBoiiLeem right!
the hardest part must have been swallowing that bagel
@@lofine4617 Well, actually your esophagus works in any position. Sure, it's more difficult to swallow anything when you're working against gravity rather than with it but it's totally doable.
It's called peristalsis
4ctmam I read it in a book when I was like 12 and I tried it. It works when you’re upside down. Drinking on the other hand... wouldn’t recommend.
I didn't even think about that...
You actually can swallow while upside down, the muscles in your esophagus do the work rather than gravity. My biology teacher got a guy in my class to do a headstand and eat some bread to demonstrate it
no wonder teller looks like he's holding his breath the whole time.
Jon Larson I was thinking he looked stoned😂
Jon Larson I was thinking he looked stoned😂
Yeah, his eyes are red from being inverted so long that day,and also rehearsals that week.
I was gonna say that the only real give away is that Teller looks like he is choking or something because his shirt comes up just enough
I'm just impressed how Penn looks completely normal. I'd be beetroot! 😅
The upper body strength teller had to have to keep “crouching” under the table
@Daniel Plant you clearly never tried to do a hanging sit up
@Daniel Plant its super fucking hard
@Daniel Plant i must have replyeded to the wrong comment then
@Daniel Plant actually i take it back your an asshole
@@bluemobster0023 The duality of man
I literally didn’t suspect a thing until the moment they panned out. I just thought everything was on strings lol
3:14 gave it away for me. His face is red, bloated and has watery eyes.
@@mrlion9719 Watching on my phone at night, I had no clue haha

"Its 1986 get a haircut" is such a funny thing to hear in 2020
Still funny in 2021
Makes me feel old :(
still funny at 2043
Feels like just yesterday.. I m 27 btw
It's not funny anymore in 2057
They look painfully young. Like they're so young it's causing them extreme discomfort and pain lol.
Deeke777 I think it’s just the fact that they upside down for like 6 minutes.
Penn looks very Young, but imo Teller has not changed much in appearence over the years
Pain and Terror
Penn is one ugly mug.
If I’m doing the math right I think penn was about 31 in this video...
They look exhausted and disoriented after the trick. Also, Penn once said they failed this trick at every rehearsal they had but managed to do it perfectly live.
Only the juggling part is i recall correctly
He also routinely says “remember, I lie.”
It was the upside down juggling that threw Penn off. Also, he said he had been upside down for hours beforehand practicing.
1:56 Penn was unable to get the deck of cards to stick to the table so he put it under the table...i'm assuming there was a magnet involved which he struggled to get lined up. That was the only mistake I saw.
Vanity fair
I’m most impressed by Teller eating upside down. Sounds hard
astronauts actually have to practice swallowing without the help of gravity. try it for yourself!
Also how tf do you bounce an object upside down.
@@swafty5813 By just throwing it in the air?
@@Haze__ still requires a lot of skill and practice to be able to consistently catch it with how weird gravity is upside down
@@samstevens2945 I'd choke on my food and die trying it
This is one of those times when the TH-cam algorithm is perfect. It seems as if most people had this play right after Penn's Vanity Fair segment. Brilliant.
ITS LEARNING
It did
I had the vanity fair segment suggested because I have seen this video before lol
And I followed the recursive loop and watched it again!
Possibly because he specifically mentions this bit in that video... no, it must be a perfect algorithm...
I watched that video on my PlayStation, opened my phone (TH-cam was already open) and this video was the first thing on my recommended
Woah! How'd they get the entire audience updside down?
Max Jordan magic
Penn and Teller are the ones that are upside down...
@@bradyjackson9649 The joke went over your head...
Brady Jackson r/woooosh
Brady Jackson lmao
I don't know why but I couldn't have imagined them being """young""" once. Penn doesn't even look like he's finished growing yet
Being upside down certainly helps your face look less saggy. I think it made Penn's cheeks look chubbier like a child's.
@@Boredman567 so Penn has just spent most of his adult life upside-down?
Right? He looks shorter here.
He's 10 feet tall now.
0:53 a dude screams “upside down” lol
Nice catch lol
Imagine being such a loser to need and ruin such an amazing trick lmao
I bet he was dragged out pretty sharpish hahaha
@@katcoe1079 It was me - they just "abracadabraed" me into eternal limbo....
I bet two men dressed all in white escorted him out of the studio never to be seen again
Notice right at the end. Teller starts a spinning hoop on the table. It's the only object throughout the show that actually defies gravity. Subtle, but incredible
Oooo, good observation! That's a nice touch!
Magnets!
Christopher Teale ...Good eye.
The coffee cup also @ 3:54
Probably magnets, same as Penn's drink
“His best trick - the *rising* card!” (Audience cracks up)
Damn, that was amazing. I bet everyone at home was so confused!
the best part though is them hanging upside down has nothing to do with the answer for how they vanished the toy plane or the Statue of Liberty figure. Since they obviously couldn't stuff them up their sleeves, best I can figure is each was made out of some type of material that could instantly be crushed to a point so small just mild slight of hand could then hide what was left over.
@@kevinw712 he threw the jet out of frame to the ground. pretty sure you can see it
@@kevinw712 He just drops each item out of frame, look closely.
@@EpicRavenclaw42 @ayo lamayo Okay honestly, upon first watch, I didn't notice it. I mean, knowing how most of the "magic" is performed in the bit (I saw this years ago so knew what the gimmick was) that's what I would've assumed. But now looking at it much more closely, I see that those tricks are more dependent on the camera movement than anything else. That with each case, either Teller's hand moves to where the top of the frame already is, or the camera zooms in closer at the right moment to make sure his hand is at the top of the frame, thus the home audience can't see it simply falling up out of frame (or down, as is the real case). cause with everything else, objects are clearly "dropping up".
I was SO confused. I skipped the video description and was bamboozled lol.
The disappearing jet at 2:40 was a super precise movement. His hand was only at the top of the picture for 2 frames.
I watched this live as a kid, and it was even more amazing then. Way before the internet, seeing something like this really was magic.
For a moment, I thought these were Saturday Night Live comedians impersonating the actual Penn & Teller.
Me too 😂
Same. I was trying to figure out who was up there with Al Franken.
that's what I was thinking when the audience kept laughing...
Yes! I thought it was Al Franken, too! Penn doesn't sound like Penn in the video. ..Teller does, but, well...
If I hadn’t checked the comments I’d have no idea they weren’t snl comedians - look so different - especially Prnn - he’s so young!
I think Penn's really the quiet one, and Teller's a ventriloquist...
Walt F. teller is the small guy and the tall guy is penn
That would be the biggest plot twist in history
Tellers got the voice of an angel. he would have to be a ventriloquist whos really good at voiceacting.
@@xin.3633 🤔
Christian CJ. you don't get it, do you?
Penn looks like a skinny version of Peter Griffin
lol really true
Just how did they practice this?
How many hours of training it must have taken to sit in such perfect posture, without any change in expression or voice, keeping their composure throughout a LIVE PERFORMANCE!!!!!!
My respect for them just went over 9000
Looks like Penn almost passed our when he went right side up lol
The Critic All the talking and the blood rushing to his head probably got to hin
Definitely a head rush.
He was probably exaggerating a little
He probably nearly did, he recently talked about his SNL act, and said that he'd been practicing all day the day of the performance, and no matter how good of a magician you are, going upside down for long periods of time isn't good for the human body
@@michaelblasko2406 indeed due to the immediate rush of blood from the head would be similar to what happens when pilots experience G-Forces.
All these years and Teller sounds the exact same!!
Tobble Donkeys ayyyyye
Hey Penn sounds exactly the same too
Tobble Donkeys The guy doesnt seem to age lol.
"You Need To Shut...The F*ck uP"
Tobble Donkeys f
I noticed Penn kept drinking, so I assumed the cup had something to do with the trick.....
Technically I wasn't wrong
I know it's magnets but the ring spinning upside down is still impressive
"If we are not using any sort of camera edits"
*subtle laughter*
They didn't use camera *edits* or blue screen or rear projection.
True enough, just gotta turn the camera upside down haha
@@cobbsta88 misdirection?
U mean a chuckle
I was so confused why they looked so weirdly strained throughout the whole thing.
I knew because I saw an interview with Penn where he was talking about doing this skit upside down on SNL and how they could never get it right in rehearsal but nailed it live.
Even knowing the big reveal, this is pretty impressive. It's hard to act somewhat naturally when gravity feels reversed.
Also, when Penn takes a "sip" and thunks the cup "down," it's great support for the reality they're creating.
@@aaronwoodard1749 I watched that interview yesterday or the day before... and was excited to see this come up in my recommends today! :)
i just thought that's how everyone looked during the Regan Administration.
That "are we live" must've been killing them
"That sucker is gone, David."
These dudes have remained hilarious and original for over 30 years. Thats gotta say something
And climbed to the top of the magic world. Wouldn't you say they are the most famous magicians in the country? Copperfield has kind of faded.
1:57 Penn trying to glue the deck of cards to the table but giving up.
your'e right!
Good catch!
Fool Us!
oh i thought he was feeling the table cause he couldnt see it to put the cards on a ledge so they dont fall "up"
He's trying to get the magent to work but can't find the spot or maybe had the box upside down. Amazing recovery LIVE to 8 million viewers!
The juggle at 4:13 was the *first time* Penn successfully did that upside down. At rehearsal he never once did it, and then when it mattered, he did it. Absolute legends these guys.
That was so impressive!
You can tell, afterwards he seems pumped at having pulled it off. Even before I read this I was like, I think he thought he was going to drop it.
Audience started thinking this was all a joke then you can tell they these were real professionals.

if I'm upside down for 1 second, my head just explodes. Takes a lot of training to pull that off, I'm sure.

It took them about 6 weeks according to the interview with Penn.
Yeah I’m surprised both their faces weren’t red
The cup was a nice addition to keep up the facade that they were right side up. Well done!
Is nobody gonna talk about how they stayed upside down for like 8 minutes???
They were upside down for hours. Penn says he was practicing all day and never once got the juggling right in rehearsal, but when it was live he pulled it off without a hitch.
Teller had to swallow food upside down
Ikr that would suck lol.
and penn having the cup really fooled me before it showed they were upside down
It's not hard. Just a bit more effort than usual.
Jackson DeStefano eating is already extremely difficult right way up. I couldn't imagine trying to eat a sandwich let alone a BAGEL upside down.
Owen Gann lmao eating is extremely difficult? you're high
Peristalsis actually makes it so that food will always go down your esophagus no matter if you are upside down or not (also how astronauts can eat in space). It's muscle contractions that move the food down your esophagus for you.
If they're upside down, why aren't their voices backwards
This guy is asking the real questions....
Queue the X files theme...
...I hadn't even realized

Totally unrelated
Cody Wang lets get clapping 👏
This whole thing just makes me smile. What legends. Quality entertainment.
Nobody ever seems to mention Teller spinning the ring on the table at the end, such a nice touch. 5:53
the most impressive part is how fluently Teller reached under the table at 3:56 when you remember that they are upside-down
Typical Toy Reviews that’s so true
I was completely fooled the whole way through. They sold the hell out of it.
Ooo yeah..abs
He must have incredible abs
Love how he drinks from the cup of nothing.
fluxcap212 It's such a simple misdirect but it remains brilliant in its simplicity even today
That was a cup of Australian soda.
It's amazing how many actors don't do a good job of "drinking" from an empty cup. Penn "sipped" for a reasonable length of time, seemed quenched, and noticed on the last sip that he had "run out."
@@binguscat2514 5:27
Selling the illusion 🙌
Jerma sent us
I think I remember Penn saying they practiced this trick so many times, and he could never juggle the light bulb, but once he had millions of people watching, he finally pulled it off for the first time. Saying that the pressure of real, live TV is the ultimate pressure.
The real trick was staying upside down convincingly for that amount of time without going red as a beetroot and passing out! Magic can be a feat of dexterity and endurance as much as “pick a card, any card”. Very impressive. Oh and, like everyone else, great link from the vanity video!
They had tons of make up on
they had to practice this upside down, many time. errf.
4:26 That reinforcement with Teller crouching took a lot of stomach muscles...
ab
I mean he was upside down so he had to actually lift himself
newton2013 wish I thought I noticed everything here (and there’s a LOT to catch) but I didn’t think of that!!!
I'm amazed someone else noticed it given some of the other comments. I think it was the hardest part of the act, because he made it look effortlessly bending down.
Teller is probably ripped AF to do it that easily
I saw this on SNL when it first aired. I was a kid and got my dad to come and watch. We could not figure out how they were doing this until the end. I’ve been a crazy fan since then. Penn and Teller are amazing to see in person.
The ending made so much sense because throughout the bit I kept wondering why teller's face looked like he was holding his breath for 12 hours
@@chinonsopromise4962 Watch it again. He let go of the cup a few times.

One of the great thinkgs about p&t is their ability to get the crowd involved in to trick just to fool people who were watching this on tv lol.
I thought penn was being played by a snl comedian cause he looks so different
or it was 35 years ago and he's hanging upside down
This is fantastic. I had ideas for how I thought each of these might have been done, though I felt like I was probably wrong about a couple. It turned out I was wrong about _every single one._ Magic at its finest.
First thought: Fan under the table
Second thought: Strong ventilation above them
Third thought: How the hell could they be upside down all that time?
I thought the rings had diagonal slits.
they did the same bid on fools us
Love how teller sneaks in an actual magic trick at the end with the spinning ring
I would guess that there's a magnet on the other side of the table. The ring sticks to the magnet, which lets it sit on the table - or spin - instead of falling.
@@eivind261093 no magnets, pure magic combined with a handful of pixie dust, and don't forget, a lot of thoughts and prayers
I din't even notice. thanks for pointing it out.
@Tim Portantno *up
I noticed that, too.
I was like, "what's up with Teller's neck??", but then i got it.
Took me 5 minutes to realize they were hanging upside down. And I was completely dumbfounded by the disappearing Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building until I realized it's just a trivial camera trick and the audience was laughing because they can see what's happening. xD
Wait, how do those work, does he secretly drop it out of frame?
@@Ben-pf9wx Yeah, the brief moment he lets go of it, and it drops down (goes up from our perspective), the camera is too close to his hand for us to see. At exactly 2:57, his hand is at the "upper" part of the frame (actually closest to the ground), and he just lets go of it.
oh man the irony of "It's 1986, get a haircut"
Yeah but if you google "Doug Henning 1986"... Penn does have a point.
He meant to say "get a mullet" :)
What's the problem with 80s haircuts, there were good haircuts back then.

@2:37 at first I figured Teller used his slight of hand skills to make the plane disappear, but then I slowed down the video and he just dead ass threw it up at the end so quick we couldn't notice. The clap covered up the sound of it hitting the floor. Legend
Actually now rewatching it... every damn thing "disappeared" by Teller just dropping it
Leighton Schmitt they actually put pillows down below them, so no sound either way.
I think he threw it at the exact moment his hand was at the top of the frame. It's such a tiny window of opportunity and he nailed it.

Nice
What a twist.

I saw this live on air in 86'. Just as great now as it was then. Thanks for posting SNL!!
Penn's sense of humor is amazing. Loved every min of it.
LOL @4:48 "he bothered to learn it, you're certainly going to watch it"
"It's not that good of trick, but he bothered to learn it, you're certainly going to watch it." 😆😆😆
Some how i had never seen this sketch before and I only came accross it because Penn mentions how they did SNL upside down before in another video and I thought that would be cool to watch.
Throughout the whole video I knew how the tricks were done but still, it was magic. The way in which they do this trick is perfect and no other magician could pull of this effect.
I hope I watch this again some day 10/10
I keep coming back every year and re watch this like it’s part of family gathering. Just awesome presentation and story
"It's 1986 get a haircut!" Is an absurd statement.

Wow, that trick at the end where they flip upside down and walk on the roof is AMAZING! And to do the same to the audience too... INCREDIBLE!
Awesome. I love these guys. Thanks for posting.
5:52 look at the metal ring teller is setting up
Magnets! How do they work?
At around 1:58 Penn is trying to stick the card deck to the "tabletop" probably with another set magnet. It woulda sold the illusion better if he'd gotten it, but in any case it was a good trick.
No one laughed at the one real line, "Last and certainly least"
why? explain
One of the cooler things I noticed was that during the "flying 2 of spades" trick, Penn intentionally started rubbing the deck of cards really obviously on the table to sell the fact it was a trick, but not due to gravity. That plus the many sips of the cup to keep the illusion that they were the right side up.
I assumed he was trying to find where the deck would reattach to the table via magnets and when they didn't stick he just gave up and tossed them under the table.
jer’a
Watch the shadow on Teller's shirt when the statue of liberty disappears. I don't know what he did there but it was brilliant.
Edit: now that I finished the video it makes sense and I feel like a fool
He holds the plane at the top of the frame and lets it go
Seriously though, Penn and Teller are two of my favourite classical comedians, if you get me. Teller is a slapstick and moving picture mastermind and Gillette is just fantastically overtly aggressive.
I have genuine love for these two people.
Yeah I'm sure you love atheists, but you hate Christians, right? I'm quite sure you'll lie and say "no, that's not true."
Epic Compilations Wait, how does their atheism have anything to do with how they perform on stage?
I like to refer to people who can't shut up about their atheism as "raging atheists". It takes normally intelligent people like Neil DeGrasse Tyson and makes him say illogical things. Like the time he did an entire seminar about how Christianity and other religions have held back humanity and generally has had a negative impact on us then came to the conclusion that there is no god. Logically speaking, one thing has nothing to do with the other. It's especially sad to me for a brilliant scientist to make such an unscientific leap in logic.
That being said, I don't really think that Penn and Teller are "raging atheists". They really don't talk about it that much unless it's brought up directly.
Epic Compilations, on the other hand, appears to be a "raging Christian". His case is even worse than most "raging atheists" I can think of.
Religion has literally held back scientific progress by hundreds of years. I don't even mean "literally" in the way everyone throws it around these days. I mean it by it's actual definition.
TheDisarminghinkle you are completely disingenuous. Way to blatantly lie about Neil DeGrasse Tyson and his positions. Religion has indeed hindered scientific progress in the past and in certain cases still does today and has caused a great deal of negative things. Also, NDT didn't come to that conclusion at all and we both know it. He is an agnostic atheist and has said that himself, meaning he didn't claim that there isn't a god.
Can we talk about their AMAZING core strength to get off the rig like that? These guys are increible in so many lvls.
That was truly splendid. Thank you.
I love how he nonchalantly drinks his water
Genius. Even if you clock onto it early, it’s still just so enjoyable to watch it play through. A mark of a truly fantastic pair of entertainers. Love em
