Thanks for the SPOIL..!!

Thanks for the heads up!

@@antmetalheadx5684 Don't read the comments first my friend.

@@antmetalheadx5684 why were you reading comments before watching???

@@antmetalheadx5684 -- Never read comments before watching the video. Everybody knows this.

To be honest, I expected him to make a live frog appear during the act. I just have absolutely no f*cking idea how he made it appear during the card cut.

That was the best part of the trick

Its funny cause he also mentions Mike Close as well. SO funny .

i literally paused the video in that exact moment and laughed like an idiot for 2 minutes xD

I like how Penn turns to Teller and has his jaws dropped, like he's about to say "get the fk outta here..."

Absolutely, when Penn looks over at Teller like, "Did YOU catch when he loaded that?"

Its mainly up to the producers

They gave it to him because he is high profile and it's a high profile illusion. I'd call it professional courtesy just because he did a twist with the frog. Because they were broken for a few seconds when they saw that frog. They knew 95% of the trick... But he is high profile and genuinely shocked them so yeah I think it was a gift.

Yes, it was not they first time they rewarded a nice trick with the "fool us" award even if it didn't really fool them.

You can hear Penn say that they didn't see him load the frog. That's where the fool happened.

The switch of the deck and loading the frog in was done at 6:00 its pretty obvious too

My mind is blown that they said they were fooled. I mean duh, you can see him shove his hand in his pocket that's turned away from the audience. I feel like the tougher part is constructing a hollow deck like that that still feels like a real bunch of cards. But it seems like all you'd have to do is have some of the cards in that stack have a little give to them so it really feels like the deck is squaring up when you pinch it to lift it. But the show is not called Surprise Us, it's called Fool Us. So I don't get them giving this act a pass.

@@Gaudette-Frango I guess the question becomes whether we're counting being fooled by watching a live show, or whether the fooling has to include going through close-up footage of the act frame cby frame after the trick. I don't know many magic acts that could stand up to that. But I don't know if they should have to. Most misdirection involves fooling you in the moment, not retroactively in slow motion. But yeah, it would be cool to be a trick that could withstand all kinds of scrutiny. But it wouldn't be easy to come up with a trick that no one has ever thought of for thousands of years.

the kiss was the biggest misdirection.

I had to watch this video 5+ times to figure out how he got the frog there, but I still don’t understand how he changed the origami frog from a Jack to the card she selected. Is he holding a whole deck of origami frogs?

I agree.. Wanna follow Candace

her kiss was the biggest misdirection.

the kiss was the biggest misdirection.

so strange that they gave him an FU... I saw every move on the first watch...

@@thehistoryoftheworld one aspect of the show is that sometimes they'll miss things because they get so caught up in the trick. Penn has said this before.

They are so fkn stupid

Lol underrated comment

I went to New York for the only time in 2010. I had huge expectations and I was a bit disappointed by every one of them haha. Times Square was just a tiny block of buildings. Central Park was closed. Statue of Liberty appeared to be small, and was locked up. Everything was smaller than I had expected. I liked the people, very much, I enjoyed it there. And one person and his doll stood out for me more than anything else. It was a black man and his black doll Cindy Hot Chocolate (easily searchable on KZfaq). I was on the train going through downtown somewhere and the doll asked me if she could marry me to get a green card. I was the only white person in the carriage, and ironically, probably the only foreigner/tourist! But it was still super funny! That ten minutes were among my most memorable in NYC - asides from the people at the pub who were really hospitable and very good fun.

the kiss was the biggest misdirection.

He replaced it a bit sooner. At 5:56-5:59

i think what they mentioned about Mike Close was them saying they think they knew how he did that part. The reason being, the magician that came up with that part of the routine was named Mike Close. That's why they were blown away by the live frog appearing. The live frog was new.

the whole deck of cards were double backed with 7 of heart on the back of every card.

Why this shit got me dying rn lmfao

Yak of diamonds. It's a Spanish thing. They like yaks.

I just watched this and caught that right away. I've seen a lot of these and I wasn't super surprised like a lot of the commenters. He turned completely sideways and swapped. Idk. I thought it was a lot of buildup with the wrong punchline.

Lol thought the same

Really? Idk i thought she seemed to be enjoying it. A few times she was very surprised as well. I thought she did just fine

the kiss was the biggest misdirection.

I dont get it too, im not fool by this trick at all, its a very easy trick, sometimes i dont get the logic of penn and teller mind.

@@nickyminaj709 Much easier to figure out with youtube rewind and slow motion, quite difficult when you only get to see it once up on the stage.

@@ChrisS-nj3ye yes, its very helpful.

Notice too that Penn said "we didn't SEE you load the frog" not we don't know how you did it. They know how he did it, but they missed seeing him do the "move" because he did the misdirection very effectively. The act lulled Penn and Teller into a false sense of security where they thought they knew what the whole routine would be ahead of time. So they weren't looking for him to be doing a deck switch there and that's why it fooled them.

No, he switched decks at 5:59 when he asked her to kiss the paper frog. We don't really get to see it cause the editing and camera cut.

Ah yes the magic of slow motion

At 6:58 at .25 speed you can see the bottom card of the pile/solid section she picks up, it doesn’t look hollow?

Which is more important to enjoy the show or trying to figure out how the trick was done. And of course current technology allows using slow motion. Is it fair play? Just asking.

Yeah, everybody sees the deck switch. But how does he get the woman to pick up the upper part exactly where it needs to be picked up? And if it's all glued together, wouldn't that totally risk to be a complete failure of the whole trick?

hemelinger77 It is a solid piece. In magic, you can say every move is a risk.

@@PureDizzi , I am aware that every move is a risk, but it seems such a high risk to have her pick up a large solid piece and only "controlling" it by grabbing her arm. But then, I don't know anything about magic. If that is really one solid piece his "force" by leading her arm is really amazing to me. Are you certain about the gimmick?

Yea Gibbs getting them boats outta that cellar,now that's magic.Also still one of lifes mysterys

Watch from 5:57 his left hand is obscured as he switches the real deck for the fake one with the frog. Clever misdirection as everyone is focused on the story and the card frog.

I assumed it was to look more medieval so it's fits in nicer with the story of the prince and castle

Oh jesus here we go....

@@lifeinconservation9885 Wait, since when has generally hoping that someone isn't torturing an animal a bad thing?

haha I am sure it was fine, relax :)
