- "It is the best sleight of hand that we´ve ever seen. You fooled our as*** bad!" Penn&Teller
This is my first performance in Penn and Teller Fool Us show in Vegas for CW TV Network. It was an epic moment that became viral all over the world.
This piece of magic (some people called it Magic Trick or insane trick) is called "Tribute to Ascanio". Ascanio "El Maestro" was one of the most influential magicians in the world and his books are still the best in magic theory.

Penn & Teller Fool Us Javi Benitez
#PennandTellerFoolUs season 4
The REQUIEM TO ASCANIO act is a tribute to his mentor. Benitez created this act in 1997, the year Arturo de Ascanio passed away.

Penn's ability to come up with inspirational speeches for every act is truly magical.
You don’t see it but they actually take about 10m discussing the truth between themselves before it concludes. The editing just cuts it out.
@@tamrix where can I watch entire episodes if I do not live in America?
@@makuntizichi1444 They get uploaded in full on youtube sometimes
@@makuntizichi1444 There's nothing to see. These are the entire episodes as broadcast. What's edited out is just Penn and Teller huddled together.
@@tamrix And? They're talking about the trick but Penn still has to come up with his actual talk which is still difficult to do in a short time.
Out of all the acts I’ve seen on Fool Us, this is the one that looks like deadass REAL magic.
you should check out Rafael Scircoli's act then... lol
Yes , really confusing and no idea how he does it
Yeah if he lives in ancient times he would be worshipped or feared as a god or demon.
Wtf is deadass... Idiot
@@ra5071 learn slang…idiot
If you slow the speed to 0.25 you will see clearly that the video will be longer to watch
lol
Does longer = take more time? Hmmm. Its still the same length but takes longer to watch. Hmmmm.
@@j.b.2263 He probably means that if you play the video with speed to 0.25, that the only difference is that the video take's longer to play ;)
Shut up, come up with your own jokes
Haha good one
This is why I love sleight of hand tricks. You know the explanation, you know the general concepts, but when it's done right, you still have no idea where the outcome came from and you can watch it multiple times and still enjoy it.
The original trick its based on is crazy.

His sleeve and hes just great at obfuscation? But also ues
Yeah, I was with him until the backs changed, then he took me on a ride. I know sleight of hand and I have no idea how this routine is done.
@@lamario is it not just completely perfectly executed sleight of hand using his sleeve? Thats what i see everytime....he just exectutes it perfect
@@camlop8635 Lol, no.
All these years later and this is still easily one of the best performances on Fool Us
Absolutely agree!
and Dani Daortiz. Both Spanish :D
@@edemQTthey are both amazing
This is the best together with shin lim.
I like it when magicians don't explain what they are doing, or what's going to happen, and just let the trick speak for itself.
Great routine, well done!
You nailed it!
Only talentless need to explain.
Boy... You are fast!!! Great Routine im stunned how fast a Human can be with his Hands... @@javibenitezmagic
Wow, the card tricks did all the talking. The skills here are top of the game
Its incredible 😯✨
Magnetism =)
Bro under every video I watch I find a comment from you ( KISS, Beatles, Penn and Teller,...) How do you do that
Performing this silently is such a power move - no misdirecting banter, all our attention is on his hands, and it's still totally mystifying!
beating teller at his own game XD
Ive watched probably 90% of all of Penn and Teller shows and countless other routines and how to videos and slow motion shots over and over. I've been watching and analyzing and scrutinizing and dissecting and figuring out routines for years and this guy is in the top ten if not top five best I have EVER seen. Damn good. This is one routine you watch over and over and it never gets boring. This one goes in the playlist. This is what would be magicians should aspire to!
This act was simply unbelievable. What other acts would you place in your top 5 ?
Agree.. He raises that bar alongside shim, it was faultless even down to his mannerisms and music.. Amazing
You couldn't have said that better. The is one of the best card trick I've seen on any show...
What are the top 10 performances according to you? Both of shin lim and Shaun's made to the list I believe
give us your top 5
I can tell the shaking is caused by adrenalin rush. Not nervous. He's a pro.
How do you think nervousness comes about, if not from adrenalin ? :)
@@AleksandarIvanov69 haha
Or maybe it's just really, really cold up there on stage?
@Nonato M sorry I dont know how to explain.
Neo Magik , maybe the difference between the slight feeling of fear that we call nervousness as opposed to the feeling of exhilaration?
I've watched this routine a few times now, basically whenever it pops up on my time line. Aside from the absolutely stunning magic, the one thing that I don't think has been mentioned enough is just how beautiful a routine it is. The music, the narrative, the theatrics of it, just all work together wonderfully to support the performance.
EXACTLY. The best I've ever watched and how magic should truly be displayed IMO. He made it elegant and mystical without the typical grind.
Complete performance
Beyond perfect. No stupid words wasted on some narrative. No distracting hand movements. No pretend communication with the audience. Just a spectacular performance.
I know how good Teller is at slight of hand, so seeing his mouth wide open at 3:22 says LOADS about how good you are.
I thought he was yawning
@@doughboy_765 LOL
Sleight*
Well played sir
I interpreted that as a yawn. ;)
He's a bit shaky, but it's to be expected when you harness the power of demons.
Jake Fischer lol... Tell me about it
Eh...If you think that..
Yeah, the shakiness added to the suspense for me tho, it fit well in an odd way.
He is being sarcastic, is it in short supply these days or what? People just don't seem to get sarcasm these days. lol
illuminati
Shin Lim's "Dream Act" is amazing and beautiful, both technically and artistically. But it is possible to watch it and work out what he is doing. The folds, the sleights, the misdirections, the pen disappearance. You can see them if you watch it enough. This act? This is...flawless. Not a single show, no unnecessary movements that are concealing a drop or a switch. No gimmicks. I never thought anyone would stun me as much as Shin Lim. Javi Benitez did it.
The snap-teleportations of the signed card?
Not flawless, you can see the last switch on the last card.
Javi is way better than Shin. IMHO, Shin is a bit overrated for what he can do.
Guy Fawkes; Agree with You about Shin Lim who is amazing and orchestrates his performance with music! Javi Benitez also orchestrated this performance with music and his performance, technique surpasses yet. Seems Javi's performance was after Shin Lim's on P&T. If so, then P&T's comment about Javi as "... the best slight of hand we have ever seen ... ", includes Shin whom they were also impressed and fooled. And let's not forget the blind dealer who simply amazed P&T with all of his moves, ,methods, and technique, whom they had no deliberation about giving him a "Fooled" immediately!
:-)
Shin Lim is the best AGT candidate and most suitable ambassador to represent magicians on that program. His concerto skills made him at the level competing with musicians and dancers that were hard to top. No other magicians could have pulled off that win that season except Shin Lim. While he is excellent in his own right, there are many MANY pros that are like him so don’t miss out. Shin Lim is one of the greats.
Not only is Javi insanely talented, but his personality is infectious. Thanks for sharing your abilities with all of us.
More practice as talent.
I thought his personality was the worst part of it. Too over the top with horrible acting.
I met Javi at the Magic Castle Sunday night, and he asked if I’d snap a pic of him and his guests from Spain as they were bouncing out. I’d had no idea he was performing that night.
I had a brief personal story relating to him and a family member (why I was doubly stoked to meet him), & he was genuinely touched by it. I was so blown away by his GENUINE warmth as a human; he’d actually pulled me in for a hug! We took a pic for my mother, and I’m never starstruck. Javi Benitez is one of thee most sincere and REAL performers I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet, and just felt compelled to share this little anecdote w his fans. What a great guy. 🙏 ✌️
He sounds amazing!
I think you hit the jackpot by meeting him.
That is so cool to hear!
That's funny because I saw Javi at a supermarket in Spain while on holiday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
@@antdgar It's an overused copy pasta but I'll give you a pass this time since I wasn't expecting it and read almost half of it before I realized what it was ;)
Absolutely mind blown. Simply incredible
Progress of my Reaction throughout the performance:
...Production of Jokers... Crap that was pretty crazy.
*Pretends to know whats going on. Thought using two cards with (white face-joker back) and (white-face-blue back) pairing setup. Sleight of hands: variants of tenkai palms, showing the same white side twice to appear as front and back, flipping both cards upside down, bending cards, shaky hands and other effects to make multiple cards appear as one after production??
...Production of First Queen... Oh shit. .
*Preparing mind to be fully blown. This guy means business. Perhaps using a complex arrangement of two or three card pairing earlier in production of jokers??? But that'd make sleights insanely harder due to sandwich effect with three cards??? And he never flashed??!?!?!?
...Production of Coloured Backs...
*Where the bloomin heck did those BLOODY COLOURED BACKS COME FRMO???!? DID I MISS A DECK SWITCH? REWINDs VIDEO. CAN"T FIND A SWITCH?????!?!?!?!?!??
...Production of Aces.....
*DOES NOT COMPUTE. ERROR.. ERROR. All speculation gone. Wouldn't be suprised if one of the cards turned into a unicorn and he flew off in the night. He is clearly a wizard
...........
FUCK IT.
Sam McEwan now that’s some comment
you just won the comment section!
did you see the the part where he does the switch to collor backs? the whole performace was with 4 cards, but during the part with the collored cards i see 5 cards, 2 purple, 1 the eye and 1 yellow. but one of the purple's dissapears after he draws the yellow one. i don't know anything about magic, but maybe this helps you?
i forgot to mention the 5th card, the purple/blue-ish one
This is the correct response.
This is probably my favorite performance yet on fool us
Shin Lim is still my favorite performance but this one is definitely one of the top ones
Have you seen the metal cups and balls?
tbh i think it's somewhat doctored, the first card showing up has some sketchy artifacts that makes me want captain D to take a look.
Seeing the flabbergasted look on Teller's face was priceless. The performance is SO good that it makes your believe magic truly exists in the world and that is a wonderful feeling.
This is the type of magic trick I've always wanted to see... just RIGHT before your eyes. No smoke, no weird angles, no funny stuff... just BAM, make things appear and reappear. The best I've seen yet.
and short sleeves
Why people impressed with magic that used mostly tool cards?
@@nguyenviet1941 Can you do it? Of course you can't. This guy just fooled Penn & Teller, and you are somehow threatened by his success. They claim it to be the best slight of hand they've ever seen. If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Nobody likes a know-it-all.
@@bobbyhoffman5967 "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." Nobody likes a know-it-all. See what you did there?
@@nguyenviet1941 Cus he's good that's why we're impressed.
Love Penn's scream at 3:21
holy shit that's hilarious. perfectly timed
Sounds more like a hungry cat
Not sure it’s a scream per se, it sounds like a seagull. I wonder how many musicians have used seagulls on their albums?
That's brilliant! Made me piss myself laughing lol
😂😂😂
I loved how he was just a bit nervous where you could see his hands shaking and he still murdered it.
I think the shaking actually covers up alot
I thought the shaky hands were on purpose?
That was the part of trick
@@ThisDesignLife holy cow by shaking the atoms of any type of matter creates heat and with that heat u can change anything at a molecular level. yes he looks nervous but that is what causes the atoms to realign and configure images that you expect to see. By making funny faces as he shakes the molecules into oblivion a new reality is born in your subconcious. Some really smart people call it string theroy i call it hanging by a thread. lol.
Might be just drunk.. but i think that wasnt the case the movement was intentional...
He's does this routine so flawlessly it basically looks like real magic. One of the best on Fool Us, this guy's easily as good as Kostya Kimlat or Shin Lim
Sorry!, there's difference between card trick and magic, this man used real magic probably. Kostya 99% using trick and hard practice with fast moves. Shin Lim used many tricks that all explained, there's some of them not explained to me like the smoke 💨 trick. So u can say Javier is a magician or the most intelligent and brilliant man who came from the future.
What about Farquhar?
you cant compare shin lim to this sleight of hand. shin lim just uses lots of tricks and misdirection. all his tricks have been solved.
but this, javi benitez. you cant find anyone who can explain this.
@@centralprocessingunit2564 he's holding more than 8 cards at once, so a possible of at least 16 different faces. It's not completely explainable as his routine is insanely clean and original, but it's still a routine that can be solved.
@@dl5200 javi benitez knows how to do the trick. your point doesnt mean anything.
When Teller looks amazed by sleight of hand magic, you know it's good. This remains one of my favorite episodes. Even if you knew the moves to do what he did, it then takes years if not decades to gain the level of skill to do them this smoothly and quickly one after another. This is as close to actual magic as it's possible to get I think. There's no gimmicks or props, just absolutely precise movements and timing.
8:01 is the best sleight of hand Look at penn 😂😂
REJECTED
DENIED
OMEGALUL
Bryan Erif a
his left hand wobles, either its tension or he has Parkinson´s
Probably the greatest card magic I've ever seen.
for sure , and he is funny . Loved watching him
Totally agree 👍
What javi and shin-lim have in common.
Red shirt and black vest = key to success
Dylan Do Aaaah... gonna buy those, maybe i can perform a double lift then 😂
Shin Lim has black shirt and red vest.
Imma buy those, maybe then I Can do a perfect turn over pass😂
@@ritoshortvideos if I get those I will be able to do ANY pass, instead of a damn double undercut lol
And black mat too
I love how although technically they knew how you did it, sleight of hand, it was done so fluidly and professionally that it still fooled them as to how the sleight of hand was so good. Very well deserved!
He flashed a couple times, but even with a flash I struggled to understand his sleight of hand. Dude is a master for sure
Also I think that just saying "sleight of hand" isn't enough; they need to have a more specific understanding of the trick.
Wow...........just...........wow.
Having studied magic for a number of years i am familiar with a few of the techniques used in this performance. However, 80% of it looked like pure magic to me and as a magician, that is the best feeling you can have!
Beautifully done, i wish you every success with your amazing talent
Craig Ward ikr?this guy made me feel that amazing feeling of foolingless again..i love it
I am completely humbled by this performance. I have no clue how any of it was done. Absolutely mind blowing. I wanna watch it again and not pause, slow down or try to figure it out. I just want to watch and be amazed.
coming from a magic family I agree !00%
I'm def. not going to tell you. If Craig does i'm revoking his magicians card.
you saying that lets me know you have no clue. For one, there are plenty of techniques, secondly, everyone ALWAYS says the know, and they never ever do.
Javi is the definition of charisma.
I'm reminded of Shin Lim watching this, but Javi's cards are far more exposed and less hidden. In my opinion it makes the sleight of hand all that more impressive. My reaction was the same as Penn and Teller at 3:20.
the guy in the front row at the very end next to the lady is wondering if he still has a girlfriend .
Are you sure he’s not just yawning? I didn’t think it was sleight of hand at this point
Breathtakingly amazing. I like that Penn did not muck around and just expressed his admiration for these skills. Teller's reactions were also beautiful. Best magic trick I've ever seen.
They are right. They could of said it was slight of hand and say you didn't fool us, but he did it so well that they could not just say it was slight of hand. If they did that it would have been like saying, you did a magic trick so you didn't fool us. Amazing show.
The same would be true even if they called it "sleight of hand"! :P
I believe that's exactly what Jacob said.
Larry Higginbotham, you missed the joke. Jacob said "slight of hand" (a misspelling of "sleight of hand").
thats what he just said
This was done with Hollywood Grade synthetic Skin like gloves that can be worn all the wat up to the shoulder thats used in movies and by many magicians to cut Quarters out of their skin...Also can be used on faces...Anyway his right hand/wrist is coated with the synthetic skin that goes up to his forearm.....He thin Cut into the Skin right around where he wears his beads around his wrist at.....This is the pocket where he holds his cards....And then from there its all experience and sleight of hand.....Notice at the end how he goes out of his was to avoid shaking hands with both Penn and Teller and also how he very carefully grabs the trophy because if they squeezed his hand too hard his gimmick would have been up.....You can fool Penn and Teller but not me....Want me to reveal other magic tricks to you? Comment with a link below and i will reveal them.. Its kind of what i do....😂😂😂
Wouldn't a better title be "The Best Sleight of Hand We Have Never Seen"?
Underrated comment
that is without a doubt the best card trick i have ever witnessed in my life...
Its very good
Check Shin Lim
Watch shin lim
Using Dead Can Dance for the background music = AWESOME!
Of all the routines on this show, this, for me, is by far the best. No matter how he did it, its progression is absolutely perfect.
This guy did not deserve the trophy, he was clearly cheating. It's against the rules to use real magic powers on the show!
Filip Schneider thats why i don't watch it anymore. This is all real magic and that's unfair to other people who don't have magical powers.
Seriously though, if anybody on the show possibly had real magic powers it's this dude.
I suppose it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to say holding the all seeing eye in a way that is overlooked acts as a free pass
Where do they say it's against the rules?
And "magic powers" are simply "scientific powers" that people are unaware of.
Filip Schneider You must be old. You do realize they have LCD screens as thin as paper now that you can fold and or roll up?
At first I thought it was heat activated material that changes color or exposes images when warmed up with body heat like in the early 90s but this had too many images and when it went back to white then I realized it was merely LCD. Pretty lame trick.
I didn't watch the rest of the video but I hope to hell this didn't fool Penn and Teller.
Anybody else feel like they are watching actual magic with this? It's one of the best sleight of hand card magicians performing at an elite level... Even when you know a couple of the sleights - he's that good that they're invisible. Hats off to you sir... And I hope you're all staying safe.
Thanks so much Spencer for your kind words!
Going thru a bit of a fool us binge at the moment, this trick was beautiful to watch. You are extremely talented.
This is legitimately the best magic I've ever seen
This is like fine wine. I watch this once in a while, and each time, I appreciate it more and more.
I don't know what it is about this act that makes me want to rewatch it all the time. Maybe it's the mystery and the subtlety of it that captures me.
This act is perfection. This is the 4th time in a few years I've watched it now, and it only gets better each time. Music and everything about it is perfection.
I think I caught one move, maybe, early on. Then I just gave up, this guy is too good for mere mortals like myself.
Been showing everyone this performance for years. Absolutely beautiful!
Every Midwesterner is losing it at the sounds of Loons invading the Arabian soundtrack tho 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mean, I understand what sleight of hand is... but this dude just made stuff appear out of nowhere. I like can't even understand how this is possible.
Probably cause he is really colour shifting the cards with psychic powers.
@Jarad Doyon watch from 3:04 to 3:05 hes stacking the card thank me later
@@michaelsoliven4196 I think you're right, 4 stacks every stack 4 cards deep (extra thin cards probably? maybe with a surface that makes the have more cohesion with each other?) the cards in each stack have 3 different backs, 2 white one standard card back and one artsy card back. at the end he has each of the 4 stacks sitting with the 2 white backs pointed outwards.
Still tho, extremely impressive the way he switches card order. I couldnt do that in a million years
@@lopendepaddo yup even though pen and teller knows whats going on. They are so amazed with his talent that they just gave him the trophy
Bruuh you can clearly see he is just wiping some sort of coating off of the first cards to turn them into jokers
The most spectacular sleight of hand I've ever seen and I've seen all the greats. Loved the entire routine. Javi showed humility and gratitude to Penn and Teller. Wishing Javi a bright and successful future.
This magic art, gives a whole new meaning to up your sleeves.
This is one trick that I never want to be explained to me, the only performance that feels like real magic
same here
But there is no explanation bro it’s just pure music for our eyes
I can even see the card change in his hand like in the corner or an angle you are not supposed to see and i still can't figure it out.
One of my favorite acts ever! Very artistic, and just mind-blowing. Javi is one of those few magicians that are actually doing real magic, like how the hell is that even possible?.
Absolute masterpiece!
I've had magic as a hobby since about 1977 and I am absolutely stunned by this man. He is at Shin Lim level and *beyond.*
I've watch LOTS of magic. This guy is TOP NOTCH!
Style, charisma, and skill: this guy is a great showman
Out of all the episodes of Fool Us I think this is the best and most entertaining magic trick, plus it is done with such simplicity and style. If someone said that this was actual magic I would not be surprised in the least. I don't want to read the comments because I do not want to know how it is done. I need to get to Spain to see this guy!
you can read the comments. nobody's got the slightest clue about it anyways
This act has some serious Shin Lim vibes with the way he does the trick with a deliberate seriousness, a majestic sound track, and lets the trick speak for itself.
This topped Shin Lim's first performance for me my dude. As well as both Michael Vincent performances. Whoever is part of your life should be very proud, as of course should you. Beautiful piece of art!
I think Shins performance had this really magical feeling this goofy guy couldn't produce. He's more refined as a performer, not just about the tricks imo. Though this was obviously also great.
Iago Dantes I think that Michael Vincent remains my favourite, but this comes close.
Shin lim's second tho...
There's no need to compare magicians, as if only one can be great. It's not a zero-sum game. I would watch Shin Lim and/or Javi Benitez all day. They're both bring tears of joy to my eyes!
I would agree. Shin was more theatrical, but this is the best slight of hand I've ever seen.
Song is Yulunga (Spirit Dance) by Dead Can Dance if anyone wanted to know :D
Yes, that was the only thing that didn't fool me.
Thank a lot
Makes sense. I can see the demon that ACTUALLY performs the "trick" dancing in him.
Lol thank you. I just asked the name of the song right before I read your comment.
You have to get about halfway in for what you hear during the performance. And a stunningly well-recorded album.
His hands are shaking, bless him. But despite his nerves he blew my mind with that performance.
The magic was really impressive, but the performance art aspect of the act was what really made it special. Good work.
I'm so glad it was on my recommend list. The trick starts off suspenseful and slow, and just keeps gaining momentum.
I got this. Each card is a miniature dual sided screen playing a loop of different pictures, and his performance is just keeping perfect time with the pictures loop.
when you watch a trick over and over and over and it still feels like magic like it did the first time
Total respect for someone who is so nervous and shaking and nails such moves.
I'm a curious person, I always like to learn how any kind of magic is done. But, man... This is so beautiful I don't even wanna know anything about it. Pure sorcery indeed! You're so freaking good, congratz!
A lot of sleight of hand magic you can slow down and at least try to form some kind of idea of what’s going on or even figure it out, but this is just flat out insane; the most incredible sleight of hand I have ever seen, bravo!
Henry Fox Ive been obsessed with this trick since I ssw it. Even going frame by frame you just cant tell.
I agree. I went at 25% through part of it and was just like fuck it, this is too good.
I’m fairly certain the bracelets come into play at one point but for the rest I’m just in awe and confounded
Was thinking the same thing about the bracelets. I can't see how he uses them but aside from saying "this dude can actually do magic" its the only way I can see it being done.
Penn made it pretty obvious how it was done at the end. Amazing act though!
This type of performance sometimes makes me feel that magic is real and supernatural..and the magicians is a community of supernatural people!
Living in Pakistan and having a passion for this art, internet is only way to access/learn this art form. Never heard of your name before but now I'm an instant fan
furrukhjamal00, sorry you live in Pakistan.
I just had some fucker from Pakistan hack my Netflix account on his smart tv
furrukhjamal00 Learn and innovate. Maybe make Pakistan the next Spain of magic.
Dave Power #6 thanks for the motivation if I ever come even 5% close to what I saw in the clip, would be very satisfied. Though this hobby is very expensive to persue here once u do the currency conversion $1 = 105 local
furrukhjamal00 What I hear is that this sort of ability takes time and effort. If you can spend thousands of hours practicing good techniques, you can be as awesome as this guy.
the amount of skill and practice that it takes to do this on stage in front of thousands is just nuts. that was such a good act
or how simple it is when you are a brujo
So something that I noticed after the millions of time watching this is at very specific moments, I see that the cards look thicker on the sides... then I realized every card he uses is somehow placed perfectly on the other and when you realize that you can follow all the moves. I think the cards have some kind of surface that holds them on top of each other and when he picks them up he separates them into his other hand and then it’s all perfectly timed moves for the switches that seemingly come out of nowhere and the old card is placed on the back of the one that was previously hidden. Just an incredible performance.
Every now and then I come back to watch this performance again. Absolutely love it. This holds up so much better compared to many other tricks because of the beautiful music and no talking.
Thank you for including the music (in the act, and by providing its name).
I had to watch this three times in a row. Completely mesmerizing, otherworldly. I love that it starts and ends in the same place, that it is like an esoteric, uncovering of something that then disappears again. Magical realism as card magic.
Just saying, you know your sleight of hand game is top tier when you see the look of amazement on Teller's face
One of the best magic acts I've ever seen. Inspiring, magical, professional, just gorgeous. Lots of respect.
This is the kind of magic that I absolutely love to watch; it's not just about performing the trick, it's about the art of the performance itself - the theatrics, the music, even the panache.
And his choreography! His timing is exactly perfect. I love Dead Can Dance and it was perfect for this routine.
Pueden pasar 1000 Años que nunca me dejará de sorprender la MAGIA.
The presentation is stellar. That music with those facial expressions somehow feels like hundreds of years ago when the moors were in Spain.
and his costume , he is a great entertainer . I don't want to know the trick , enjoy it to much .
Only ever Fooled Us that’s brought tears to my eyes when he won - so moving, such a lovely guy!
You know it's good when you see them react like this
i watch this the first time it aired. and everytime i watch this again still amazes me .. wow. still number 1 javi. no one can top that. 👍👍💪
Mind blowing. A totally different level,
I saw this when it was new and I've seen hundreds of video's with magicians performing their very best but years later this one is still one of the very best act's that I have ever seen. It's just so beautiful watch.
What a lovely man.
If anyone needed proof that magic is art. Here it is!
This is hands down the best performance I’ve seen on penn and teller. The tale he told through his cards, gain and loss and fate. And seriously the slight of hand is well I have no idea and won’t even try to explain
You can clearly see in the close-ups that he is used special cards which you can wipe to reveal different pictures.
@TheFettuck nope, there are actually multiple cards and he changes their order. They’re not gimmicked
@@AB-ub9nd They are gimmicked. You can clearly see a gradient when he made one of the card half white.
@@TheFettuck
Nope. Its a version of the great Juan Tamariz's "4 blue card trick".

That's Penn simply throwing mad props up to the art and talent of that guy's craft.
Javi, you are amazing!! Best slight of hand I've ever witnessed. Great job!
i have watched every episode of fool us this trick is by far my favorite. Javi you're are brilliant magician
Dead can dance is perfect music for this great act.
Fantastic sleight of hand. That was sheer artistry.
The music is hauntingly beautiful too. Thanks for the link....👍
The whole performance was mesmerising....🤯
Badass song choice - I love dead can dance.
i felt like i was watching my last magic trick with that fine music
I love these tricks where i think i'm a smartass "Meh, it's just card that change with friction" and then get schooled a few seconds later as if to mock me!
Great trick!
it most likely was on that one to be fair
Most of the trick was actually that
This is one of the FU routines I like to come back and revisit from time to time
This is beautiful. I've been studying magic for 20 years - not as a performer but just because I enjoy knowing how illusions work - and this is one of few pieces that I don't even want to know anything about.
When the illusion is more pleasing than the secret, you got me.
This isn't only magic, it's art. 👏
Absolutely beautiful routine to beautiful music. My jaw dropped and stayed that way through most of the performance. Just incredible piece of work, a credit to the craft and your culture. Bravo!
Edit: Having watched again I really felt the story being told. A crafty thief finds a wallet, but the blank notes inside do not grant him any riches no matter how he wishes, prays or otherwise prostrates himself. Just my interpretations but I thought it felt pretty fitting!
I believe the music is from Dead Can Dance :)
Exactly. My favorite musician « band »
You don't have to possess any level of craftiness to find a wallet..
@FreshSince71 I don't expect a lot from TH-cam comments. Congratulations for missing the point of mine. Please do not respond... no one cares, least of all me. Enjoy the video, friend!
gaspump why you feel the need to reply if you don't care? Just keep it moving then bitch!
7:45 - Teller's face = "No, Penn, we've never cheapened anything. "
I was f fortunate to see one of his lectures when he came to our magic Ring. WOW! His sleight is so superb and artistic.
That was so magical. I thought Teller was going to hug Allyson for a second.
I love not just the trick, but his very artistic presentation. You can always tell when someone has spent long hours perfecting his craft because he makes it all look so effortless.
He was like dancing while tricking
