The Houdini initials joke is hella underrated. Fantastic trick!

I love the JJ initials for Harry Houdini joke. The Spanish speakers got it right away. Allison is so cute with her incredulous "nah ah!"

I love how Penn is so respectful in his analysis and feedback to the Magicians' work. Great judge!!!!

The magician "ruining" the trick by casually preempting the end (like when he shows one hand at a time from beneath the handkerchief, supposedly _before_ he escapes) is probably my favorite magic trope. It's understated -- by acting casually about it, the magician doesn't draw attention to it and it _looks_ perfectly natural, but when you think about it, they _shouldn't_ even be _able_ to do it. It's like the magician saying "I know that you know that the trick can happen at any moment, so let's have fun with this." Danial executed this fantastically!

What style, what humour, what skill, what a triumph! As a fellow magician, I'm full of admiration Daniel - top class!

Perfect act with a lot of pocket props and great distractions. The fact its funny is the icing on the cake

Penn called this act perfect four times in a matter of minutes. It may not have ended with a Fool Us trophy, but that level of praise is priceless. Beautiful performance in every way.

I couldn't care less that you didn't fool Penn and Teller, you got their praise and admiration, you certainly fooled me, and I'm pretty sure you entertained everyone watching. Awesome performance!

I'm laughing out loud all the way through and, like everyone else, astonished at the end. This guy is a natural comedian with perfect timing and stage presence

Wow. You got me good. I actually thought that Allison had in fact ruined the card trick and that you were going to skip it and do only the escape. I should have seen it coming -- no pro is going to get caught out like that. The ending with the six of hearts being found again was absolutely brilliant. Great job.

I gotta tell you, man, I think their compliment of your act is probably worth more than having fooled them. It was a blast to watch and I appreciate you sharing this with us! Muchas gracias, muy bien senor.

This has to be my absolute favorite trick ever on this show, Daniel has more charisma than almost every native English speaker ever

What an absolute jewel of an act. So charming, so funny without being annoying, and the end trick is a complete reversal from what you expect, so that even someone used to these kinds of tricks never sees it coming.

Allison had such a genuine reaction lol

Please don't change a single second of this act! It's the perfect routine, presented with perfect simplicity. If anything the self-deprecating humour about your faltering English only made it more fun. 👏👏👏

The fact that Daniel does not speak English as a first language/fluently but still managed to pull off the jokes and be so charming is impressive in itself really, and makes him a great performer. But the trick itself was also fantastic and although Penn and Teller may have figured it out, the average non-magician would still be totally fooled (at least I was) and it was really a pleasure to watch!! I think having Penn say that your trick is “perfect” is almost better than fooling them tbh!!

He would have killed me if in the end he would just pretend reading and then say “I can’t read in english”

Have watched a ton of these videos and this is by far my favourite. No stupid or over the top acting and the whole thing just feels so genuine and smooth

Feel like the fact that they refused to say any hints out loud is an accomplishment enough. To have Penn & Teller say your trick is a GEM and PERFECTION.....I mean dang, that's some high praise

Man, for so many people the language barrier can be such an obstacle for a performer, but you take the language and use it as such a wonderful and hilarious compliment to your act! Absolutely brilliant, one of my favorite performances ever on the show!

One of the very best acts ever on this show

Never mind fooling, that performance alone deserves a trophy! 🏆

I love how at the very end, when Daniel nods acknowledging they know how the trick was done, Teller points to something they wrote just for him and when the camera changes you can see Daniel saying thank you to Teller. Daniel, ¡ha sido una actuación fantástica!

He is genuinely warm and welcoming, open and funny. The way he touches Teller on the shoulder, and openly examines and admits he didn’t fool them, is so heart warming! What an amazing human being! And the trick was great and his comedic timing is impeccable. To top it of with his warm personality _(the way he guides his a audience guest off stage is so personal!)_ is so genuine if makes him one of the few naturals on stage, completely and utterly himself. Amazing stuff!!

This performance is so underrated! It's one of my favorites in the entire show. This should seriously have way more views.

3:52 I actually thought it got ruined 😂😂

Truely perfect, just as Penn says. Completely blew me away

Man that was such an incredible trick! I've watched so many of these P&T videos, this is up there with one of the best acts!

Im german and my girlfriend and I started to watch fool us (guess we are 2 seasons in over all) and this was one of the best routines I have seen in this show. Maybe the best so far that didnt fool them.

That was absolutely beautiful sir. That's the difference between a trick and a PERFORMANCE. Excellent job sir!

What a great show! Why can’t all TV be this good .

I don't even care if he fooled Penn & Teller, he was one of the most funny, charismatic and entertaining performers to appear on Fool Us and the trick was beautifully executed with an unpredictable ending. Daniel K is a natural entertainer and thankyou for this performance.

Well done, that was great. Never heard Penn speaking so highly of anyone's performance, and I think he's right.

I loved the entire act, wonderful!

Most underrated trick on Fool Us. The presentation really is perfecto!

Never knew Uruguay had so good magicans. That was a wonderful show from Daniel K. I watched it 3x times.

Damn he has perfected this like a fine wine

Penn wasn't lying, this was such a great performance. Amazing work, Daniel!

I just love this act. It's so cleanly executed and so charming. Side note: what an uncanny resemblance to Andy Garcia!

One of the best, funniest, most well-timed acts I've seen. Absolute perfection, every magician should strive to perform as well as you did today.

This just goes to show you don’t have to fool them to still have an impressive and memorable act.

When the comedy is almost better than the act, you know you've got a perfect stage magician.

That was amazing! Probably one of the best acts I’ve seen on this show. Hilarious, especially that Houdini joke 😂

Love the program, and your segment. My only beef with the show is that fooling & entertaining the audience is the real Job #1. A loss for everyone would be a dull trick that happens to Fools P&T. And I too, laughed out loud at "JJ".

Every time I watch this it gets better and better. Truly amazing performance and original act. Bravo!

Best routine I’ve ever seen. One of my favorites. Well done and thank you! ❤

I am so with P&T on this... after the laughter had subsided, the first thing I thought, was "That was just beautiful"... because it was. Genuinely awe inspiring, thank you.

I always enjoy the gag where the person pulls a hand out that's supposed to be tied up, it just makes me laugh everytime. Well done sir, good luck in the future!!

Wow Daniel isn't just a great magician he's a great performer period. The was one of the best examples I've ever seen of mixing comedy in with magic without it being super cheesy or forced. He's a natural. Even though he didn't fool them I hope he goes on to grow his platform and get some spotlight because this act was one of the more entertaining acts you'll see and I'm sure he has more up his sleeve.

the respect shown from P&T tells you everything you need to know

Love the respect they gave him , truely talented guy , showmanship does so much more for the act 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏....

This act is an absolute delight

I appreciate that Penn didn't speak in the "magician's code" because that shows respect for magicians who speak English as a second language. I think he really wanted Daniel to win in order to make the trip all the way from Uruguay worth his while and so he could have different countries represented in his show. ¡Fenomenal!

I think that there were many magicians that fooled them in cheap ways, kind of abusing the system, but even tho you didn’t I know that you’re one of the most impressive magicians ever been there and that was one of the best acts in the history of the show and you could tell from penn’s heartfelt comments

I like this trick so much I keep coming back to watch it. It’s so good, and so much fun to watch.

Oh man, you remind me of one of my friends from many years ago. We sold cars together and absolutely loved WRC racing (and cars in general) so we got along really well. He was from Paraguay and told me about all the WRC circuits he'd been to in South America. This reminded me of him because of how insanely on-point and witty everything was. Well written, well-performed, and well paced.

Increíble acto sos un genio, y un orgullo latino, felicidades saludos desde Guatemala

Fantastic performance

cool how when you're in the Fool us rabbit hole, you get to see so many interesting channels from so many unique magicians. Y'all got a cool community

Doesn't matter he didn't fool them. They gave him the highest compliment "it's the perfect routine".

Fantastic trick. He forced the 6 of hearts from the start. Has a button on the cuffs to loosen them. Sleight of hand to swap the deck of cards with deck of cuffs. Swapped his cuffs for a second 6 of hearts in his pocket when he handed the audience member keys to the cuffs. Excellent showmanship makes it a great show even knowing how the trick was done.

Perfect in every way. The comedy, his personality and the magic was spot on Perfect. Rendimiento perfecto!

most likable dude Ive seen in a long time!

The magic is simple but the presence is 10000% you rock the stage men

Danial! Omg. Great act! I used to do a similar comedy thumb cuffs routine in the early 90s. I went away from magic and during that time i lost all of my magic things. I was left with only a few trinkets and the magic in my heart. Today i am studying my way back into magic. Until i saw this, i had forgot how well the thumb cuffs played for the spectators. This routine brought tears to my eyes. They are there still as i write this. Thank you for existing. I am going to buy the thumb cuffs and add a card routine. So perfect i wish i would have thought about it. Please except my rendition of it as a compliment to you. Maybe i will get it up on youtube. Again. Thank you for existing.

Getting that level of respect from Penn & Teller is better than a trophy. It’s not very often you hear Penn say “please tell us we’re wrong” because they enjoyed it that much.

Soo good. U deserve the trophy!

Fred Darsow 1 second ago This is absolutely perfect. He was completely successful-- He says: "People forgive a mistake, but don't forgive when the show is boring." His quips are short, fast, and funny. Rarely do the magicians/comedians keep me engaged and laughing out loud; usually the jokes are not particularly funny. I actually don't really care if they fool Penn & Teller. The way he keeps his performance very kinetic, the tempo and delivery fast throughout the routine and how he warmly interacts with Alison & Manuel (even w/ Penn & Teller-- they are just sitting there aghast) helps him get a kinesthetic response of real enjoyment and amusement. For me, this is the best routine that I have seen on this show.

I've watched dozens of these and this was FKING AWESOME! it actually has me smiling and laughing! Well done well done indeed!

“Perfect” is the correct description of this trick. Just magnificent.

This is among the best tricks I’ve ever seen, made better by his sense of humor.

Probably the most amazed I've seen the audience sound. Amazing routine, man

One of the most clever and entertaining acts i have seen

One of the best tricks on the P&T show ever. Humor and magic - a perfect get together. I laughed the whole time. Thank you!

I’ve watched these guys since a kid. This act had my jaw drop fr

We need more magicians like this. Comedy and magic is a perfect pair. From the "JJ" for Jarry Joudini to reaching into his pockect with one hand (when his thumbs were supposed to be cuffed, and it went right over Allison's head) to give Allison the key to unlock him in case he cant get free. Soo much fun, great job!

That was one of the best routines I have ever seen, and I love your personality. The words, the moves, the jokes, everything, that was awesome, I loved it. ¡Bravo!

What a nice guy. and an amazing performance. Also he loved every single comment. this guy is a legend.

The guy in the audience was a part of the act and pulls out the card from his pocket and puts it under the handkerchief.

I attended language school in Montevideo, Uruguay for 8 months. This made me miss not being able to return there. Oh, that was amazing!

One of the best performances on FU. Not just this season, but any season. Perfect timing. I've seen this trick done with rope, but not thumbcuffs. And not nearly as well as you, sir. Please work up another trick and try again.

My opinion hardly has the same weight as Penn's but I think he got it exactly right. Everything about that was delightful. One of the top acts I've seen on FU.

That was incredibly high praise from P&T. What an entertaining act! Loved it.

Daniel's personality was awesome.

My English is as good as yours. So I can't explain correctly how great this was to watch.

My god, some people have it all, and you sir have it all. Incredible talent, personality, hardworking (even as a boy, studying VHS tapes to learn magic), sense of humor, stage presence, world-class magician, and you look like a model 15 years younger than you probably are. Just a world-class performer. Bravo.

What a likeable personality and what an entertaining trick!

Creo que es uno de los mejores actos que he visto en este show, un abrazo desde España a Uruguay.

I think this is the most entertaining magician performance I have ever seen.

This is exactly the kind of routine this show was created for! Great job, Daniel, and hoping to see you on Fool us again for a rematch!

Fantastic, The best performance ever on the show.

That was great! The way he pretends that Alison screwed up the card trick was really convincing and raised the stakes.

Performance is absolutely key here! I went back and tried to see where the "tricky" moments were and even though i'm not a magician, it seems like the mechanics of this trick are fairly simple. Its how clean the maneuvers were and the perfect timing for redirection that makes this trick so effective!

This dude had EVERY element you want to see in an act. I really wished he would have fooled them. But it was awesome watching him do it!

Juegazo , sin duda mi efecto favorito . Te admiro mucho Daniel , por lejos mi referente en la magia . 🙌

"Completely a surprise and then totally inevitable" is a beautiful and poetically simple way to explain the absolute best magic routine payoffs. Where everything in the routine was leading to an obvious and inevitable payoff and yet none of us saw it coming. The magic isn't hidden in layer upon layer of complexity because Daniel's skill and talent made it seem like he was stripping away so many layers until you feel like there is nothing he is hiding. Then BAM he hits you with the trick and its fantastic. Anyone with about $20 and access to a magic shop has everything physically needed to do this trick but next to nobody could perform it like this.

This has to be one of the best performances I've ever seen. Beautiful on so many levels. Wow.

As others have said - this is such a beautiful performance. One of my favorites from the entire history of this show. So good that I'm glad they didn't speak in code. I went back and watched it again, and the "moments" are actually quite noticeable for people who know what they're looking for.... but the "magic" is in his pacing and delivery that make you completely miss the "moments" because you're enthralled by the performance. Bravo!!!

This is my favorite performance on the show. It's so entertaining that the "magic" doesn't need to be explained.

Another great example of just because someone didn't fool Penn & Teller, doesn't mean the act wasn't superb in every way. You were wonderful!
