Truly the most beautiful way I've seen this trick presented. It is a perfect example on how to use a trick to tell a great story and not use a weak story to show a trick.
Maybe P&T know how you did it, but I sure don't. The story telling was great, but the illusion with the cards is what I came to see and it was mind-blowing. Thank you!
I love love loved this. Telling the story through the cards, just beautiful and for me, completely flawless. And when you took your glasses off and said "we win" I just loved it and clapped, just great
I think I have seen hundreds of clips and Penn does praise people at times, but not like that. You can feel Teller is about to cry there at the end. Truly magnificent performance and words from Penn and Teller.
Such a performance, I was thoroughly entertained with the story. 😊 Penn might have said that he's not going to talk in code but a few quick words afterwards confirmed that the trick was known.
I dont know I have just come across this video, but you did a remarkable job. This is the beauty of a true magician. Wonderful job with this act, Thank you very much for sharing you work.
When those two tell you you're amongst the best ... :open mouth: Of all the forms of magic, I have ever loved close up card tricks the best; the knowing that it is the skill of the magician against the acuity of your perceptions just makes the whole thing all the purer.
That was by far the finest presentation of that effect I've ever seen. Your kind of compelling narrative storytelling is too often missing from modern magic, with even one of the best-known magicians on the planet dispensing with it almost entirely. But you stay true to the art. Needless to say I know how it's done, but don't you dare change a single second of that routine! It's just beautiful, start to finish. 👏

I just love your storytelling style so much. For me, it makes magic more magical
I love to know how tricks are done. And I understand the last move. But I sincerely don't want to know any moves before, because I did not see anything, it was handled that well. And of course embedding in the story took it to another level. Just wonderful :)
I have a feeling Penn and Teller invited him just so he gains a bit more popularity, because of the popularity of the show. Maybe they did not expect him to fool them, but they wanted to make him more known and popular. For this, Penn and Teller have my deepest gratitude, not just as magicians, but as human beings. I really enjoy their show, as it introduces not just new, but also established people, who might be just a bit out of the public eye. Respect!
I believe that's exactly what Penn said after Javi Benitez performance. The show is not about fooling "the smartest guys", it's about bringing the best magicians from around the world so we can experience their art.
But, as Penn says, they have to play the game. So some incredibly talented magicians with stunning acts that could or do fill theatres won't get a trophy. But they get to perform for arguably the largest audience in the world and get a priceless endorsement from Penn and Teller.
I don’t know if P&T select the acts. It seems that they are often surprised by who appears. And that the producers regularly pick different types of people - friends of P&T, upcoming youth, unknowns, international, women, etc (and some fit more than one category). It’s all good!
VA? 🤔PLEASE TELL ME what you mean because I am ABSOLUTELY blanking!!! Veterinarian’s Assistant? Virginian Apostle? Vidulant Virtual Assistant? Vehicle Advisor? Virgin Airlines? Violent Acupuncturist? Veteran Alcoholic? Violin Athlete? Virgin Altruist? Veterans Affairs?!?!?!? I can’t imagine ANY of those are even CLOSE! I feel like this is a harder trick to figure out than the actual magic trick!!! Vacuum Accident? Vacationing Andes?Vaccinated Alpaca?!?!?!?
I am pretty sure of he was placing in one foolinf element, but they were dumb to notice it. He didn't want to insist, the friendship is more important. It was disappointing that they didn't expect him to put a twist in it.
I love your peter salvation I love your body Snatcher I can't even talk right I'm sorry your magic act the Body Snatchers in the black-and-white movie yes I'm that old and I love the magic act please continue to do it again maybe on TV or maybe you can perform it with David Copperfield I would love to see it in person
Teller is so moved to see his long time friend on the show that he is left SPEECHLESS! 🤣 But seriously though, it did look as though Teller & Penn as well were moved by this act.
Lol... even with a virtual audience, they still use the same laugh box. I love it when magicians come on just for the sake of showing what they got. They know they aren't going to get the win, but being able to to the performance in that setting is more than enough for them.
Irehan needs to explain this cuz I'm perplexed. I hate it when I don't have even a smidgen of an idea. I don't mind being wrong, but I loathe it when I get brain freeze and feel like a nincompoop. 😂
Seriously ? It's just an old trick called Wild card like Penn said. Look for tutorials on youtube. It's done with gaffe cards with king on one side and 7 on the other. Look at 3:22 - when he turns the cards the king that was in the middle shows the other side - the 7. The same thing at 3:42. However he uses a combination of effects not just that. Penn mentions wrinkles so he probably uses flap cards. At 3:03 you can see that king he will turn has another card behind it. Camera cuts on this show are atrocious.
Peter Stuyvesant you're very good magician I'm glad that you came on Penn & teller's I hope you continue to do magic I've always loved Magic I'll watch for you and your coming future shows to see if you are still working as a magician a propellant hour due to all the world's greatest magician as well as David Copperfield siegfried.and.roy the legendary we're now up in heaven I'm happy to see that David Copperfield is still performing magic as well as you and tell her and Lance Burton never got a chance to see all of you I never will get the chance to see Siegfried and Roy for now they are in heaven but I take a test to see David Copperfield when he was a lot younger in Atlantic City and all I can say once seen never forgotten control you famous magicians Illusionist and of coming magicians and Illusionist fulfill all your dreams you're ready for filling your destiny in the state of New Jersey I wish you all the best be happy be healthy and please be safe love to you all
This may be the best card trick I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. I just wonder if Pen and Teller really know what he did? I would like to see either 1 do it.
@@psamelson totally agreed next I will be on America's Got Talent wish me luck. By the way I'm going back on there if you have any ideas I'm wide open!
The only move I saw was the last one, and that's after watching it a few times. I do know how you got three sevens on the table. Don't know about the first king or where all four of them went. I'd like to never know.
@@dallassukerkin6878 I want to know tricks to be able to do them by myself. I've "decoded" almost everything in seasons 1 and 2, now I am getting lost XD Here for example I know it's a variant of the wild cards, but I can't explain how he can turn every card in the end. I would know how to do it without turning them all. Great trick.
This was a simple, interesting, & effective trick I have seen on Penn & Teller. It's almost as if it's not a trick at all but rather witchcraft lol Love the alien theme btw 🛸👽
Truly the most beautiful way I've seen this trick presented. It is a perfect example on how to use a trick to tell a great story and not use a weak story to show a trick.
👍🏼👌🏽
❤
This really may be one of the smoothest and most entertaining performances ive seen. Simple and amazing.
This is the Most beautiful told story, without fancy props! JUST LOVED IT!
I think getting this words is worth more then the trophy
I completely agree!
To see a legend like Penn praise a fellow practitioner so abundantly speaks well for both Penn and the performer.
that. was. FABULOUS! I really loved the theme, storytelling and the effect! It's a brilliant story for this performance, truly!
came back to this years later still love this !!!!
I loved the narration and the presentation of the act. Great performance, I was captivated by the story!
The story telling and theatrics here is probably the best ever on the show. Phenomenal and Soo well done.
Maybe P&T know how you did it, but I sure don't. The story telling was great, but the illusion with the cards is what I came to see and it was mind-blowing. Thank you!
I’ve done card and close up for years and there’s at least two moves that I’m totally stumped on. Super slick.
👍🏼😊👌🏽😇
It looks so effortless. It's just a sublime way to make a story match the trick. You could do this with one hand and one eye closed. It's so smooth.
I think this is my favourite one. When he said "WE win" i really got the chills. THIS is the magic I love
Yes! I didn’t hear any reaction from the audience at this, which surprised me, but hopefully it was just because they were all “shook”.
There was no live audience when this was filmed!
One of my favorite movies told by one of my favorite magicians! Bravo. Beautifully done Peter.
Absolute master of art and storytelling.
Beautiful trick and beautiful act!
What an amazing performance. That's the kind of magic I wish to perform myself. Thank You for sharing.
I love love loved this. Telling the story through the cards, just beautiful and for me, completely flawless. And when you took your glasses off and said "we win" I just loved it and clapped, just great
excellent performance i never seen a story/magic performance come to life like that thank you sir for knowing the art let alone sharing
Thank you
I think I have seen hundreds of clips and Penn does praise people at times, but not like that. You can feel Teller is about to cry there at the end. Truly magnificent performance and words from Penn and Teller.
Beautiful quote! Loved your talk tonight at Magic and Mystery school. Thank you.
Thank you - it was really great to meet up with that wonderful group of magicians!
Such a performance, I was thoroughly entertained with the story. 😊
Penn might have said that he's not going to talk in code but a few quick words afterwards confirmed that the trick was known.
Peter just had to comment and say I love this presentation. I was hoping you would end with “You’re Next! You’re Next!”
I love the film, love he story, but this is more astounding! Enjoyed every bit of it!
I dont know I have just come across this video, but you did a remarkable job. This is the beauty of a true magician. Wonderful job with this act, Thank you very much for sharing you work.
What a great presentation for a classic trick that hasn't really had a logical reason.. Loved it..
Oh, thank you Mr Samelson, for reminding us what magic is all about - the story, the wonder and the effect for the audience. Very very well done Sir.
I know the tricks, but this routine is (still, even after a few decades) really really nice to watch.
You saying “you know the tricks” is literally you saying I don’t know the tricks
@@thhhrhhru7162 I don't think Penn does either.
Beautiful performance!
Great to see Invasion of the Bodysnatchers from a master storyteller.
When those two tell you you're amongst the best ... :open mouth:
Of all the forms of magic, I have ever loved close up card tricks the best; the knowing that it is the skill of the magician against the acuity of your perceptions just makes the whole thing all the purer.
Well one tells you,the other says nothing.
What a wonderful presentation.
Pensentation*????
What an magnetic and engaging performance. Penn’s word couldn’t be truer. Magnificent job.
That was by far the finest presentation of that effect I've ever seen. Your kind of compelling narrative storytelling is too often missing from modern magic, with even one of the best-known magicians on the planet dispensing with it almost entirely.
But you stay true to the art. Needless to say I know how it's done, but don't you dare change a single second of that routine! It's just beautiful, start to finish. 👏
I just love your storytelling style so much. For me, it makes magic more magical
Terrific work, Peter! I was completely entertained.
My first video this morning. A good start. A very smoooooooth trick nicely done!
This is wonderful, as is your VI masterclass which I'm currently watching. Highly recommended and thanks for the learning!
It's a pleasure to share this with my fellow Magi ...
Thank you 🙇🏻Peter uncleji🙇🏻 wikipedia.org/wiki/-ji
Fantastic performance, sir! A short trick, but with no shortage of entertainment. Rock on!
So great performance!
what a humble magician. nice performance
When did John Malkovich start doing magic?
Well earned, and well deserved. A beautiful performance.
Pure theatre. Just lovely.
I love to know how tricks are done. And I understand the last move. But I sincerely don't want to know any moves before, because I did not see anything, it was handled that well. And of course embedding in the story took it to another level. Just wonderful :)
Damn, this is so good, and i love your voice too

So awesome! That was a kickass trick. Thank you for sharing it with us!
truly astonishing. you are the king and won every heart
Nah. He clearly let us know he was a 7 at the end.
That was truly amazing!
This is wonderful. Really great story telling. And the trick fit in so nicely I almost forgot the skill it takes to pull that of.
Simply amazing
Great performance, sir. You had me captivated
So very kind of you ...
The Buzzfeed Unsolved stock music took me off guard lmao
Really enjoyed the magic scifi story trick. Brilliant!
This was really fun to watch!
I really enjoy the invasion of the bodysnatchers theme of this! Very creative and impressive.
He's got a John Malkovich thing going
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought that John Malkovich has started doing magic.
You could easily become a VA with those skills of yours.
VA? 🤔PLEASE TELL ME what you mean because I am ABSOLUTELY blanking!!!
Veterinarian’s Assistant? Virginian Apostle? Vidulant Virtual Assistant? Vehicle Advisor? Virgin Airlines? Violent Acupuncturist? Veteran Alcoholic? Violin Athlete? Virgin Altruist? Veterans Affairs?!?!?!?

@@andyhighroller8217 Voice Actor. LOL
And then 5 Kids appear, become animals and save the world.
Goats and cows.. two become cows and three become goats
Nice ending. Seeing it for the first time.
I am pretty sure of he was placing in one foolinf element, but they were dumb to notice it. He didn't want to insist, the friendship is more important. It was disappointing that they didn't expect him to put a twist in it.
I really enjoyed this one
Very nice
Wonderfull presentation!!!!
I love your peter salvation I love your body Snatcher I can't even talk right I'm sorry your magic act the Body Snatchers in the black-and-white movie yes I'm that old and I love the magic act please continue to do it again maybe on TV or maybe you can perform it with David Copperfield I would love to see it in person
Mustn't have been easy performing for a dead theater. Wonderful performance (and a great story, too).
it was in the midst of Covid 2020 and very challenging
Teller is so moved to see his long time friend on the show that he is left SPEECHLESS! 🤣 But seriously though, it did look as though Teller & Penn as well were moved by this act.
What a great act. I'm just glad it doesn't have a stupid title or I wouldn't have seen it.
That’s a legitimately creepy trick. I love it
Fukn amazing! I don’t care that P&T knew how…those were Kings and cleanly no longer. Just snatched! Beautiful story
Lol... even with a virtual audience, they still use the same laugh box. I love it when magicians come on just for the sake of showing what they got. They know they aren't going to get the win, but being able to to the performance in that setting is more than enough for them.
yes, it is the opportunity to record this for posterity
Work of art
The kids must love this one.
Invasion of the body snatchers! That was a hella dope card trick
Irehan needs to explain this cuz I'm perplexed. I hate it when I don't have even a smidgen of an idea.
I don't mind being wrong, but I loathe it when I get brain freeze and feel like a nincompoop. 😂

Fantastic.
I seen that slight hand move to grab all them extra cards.
Time stamp please

Peter Samelson... It's even the TH-cam channel you watched this video from.
That's mad man, amazing
This may be the best card trick I've ever seen and I've seen a lot. I just wonder if Pen and Teller really know what he did? I would like to see either 1 do it.
The only thing I caught was the last part
That was a great trick! (I've been doing magic for 60 years)
Peter Samelson genius
Doesn't matter to me if they fool Penn and Teller. I just wanna see some cool ass magic. And I did. :)
I love him
So enjoyable!
I don't get it my episode was taken off of TH-cam but this episode that was filmed the same day is still on TH-cam
you need ro protect your material
@@psamelson totally agreed next I will be on America's Got Talent wish me luck. By the way I'm going back on there if you have any ideas I'm wide open!
Great job! Thanks!
i can never tell if they really say to the people how they did it. they talk magic code
Am not a magician.. but what Peter was doing isnt new to me as i have watched so many FOOL US on P&T. I knew that couldnt fool them.
also they have been friends for 40 years and have seen everything I have ever done.
I really loved the entire thing, a part of me wished it was kings to flood out, not sevens. You know? I'm sorry for being that guy 🤣🤦😝😂😂
I loved this
The only move I saw was the last one, and that's after watching it a few times. I do know how you got three sevens on the table. Don't know about the first king or where all four of them went. I'd like to never know.
I am of like mind - I never understand why folk want to know how the trick is done because the fun is in the looking and *still* being fooled :D.
They were all there, the entire time.

Wow!!! Fantastic.
F*cking awesome trick dude!!!
