Rick, I had a blast sharing the stage with you!!! I still can’t believe we fooled them!!! 👏👏👏

So excited to share our episode of Fool Us!!! Hope you guys all come to Vegas and watch this LIVE!!!

Awesome performance! My best guess on how its done would be that 19 of the 24 Targets are Tower Bridge and the other 5 they have shown, have some sort of different material at the back so no matter what, a playing card will never stick to it. It will only stick to the 19 Tower Bridges

Thank you for not spoiling the outcome in the video title! It makes it SO much more enjoyable to not know and WONDER if you win the trophy or not... fantastic thank you!

The performance was top notch. About the method - out of the 24 targets only 5 were turned over as proof, so there is a possibility that all the other 19 targets are Tower Bridge. The rhyming of the two targets and giving Penn one of the same 5 is suspicious. The real trick is how to puncture one of the 5 proof targets, but not let it be punctured by Penn and Teller after that. It could be that these 5 targets have hard transparent coating and require a special throwing card.

Absolutely crazy. So honored to share the stage with you Rick throughout the years! Now you are fooling two of my most legendary magicians ever??? Inspiring me to step my yoyo performance up! Love to see it.

I am guessing 4-6 Tower Bridge plates were on the board and were a bit soft so card could penetrate more easily. The one plate that Rick stuck with a card was on the hard side, but he is good enough to stick a card in a harder surface.

The two of you should absolutely work together and develop your own show. Each of you are awesome, but the two of you together are unparalleled

One of the most unique Pen and Teller performances I've seen!

Kudos! Really cool trick! Here's how I think you guys did it: As opposed to what Penn suggested, it was only the disc with the Tower Bridge on the back that a card could actually get stabbed on. Much as the back sides were truly different, only the front side of Tower Bridge was able to hold a card. So, no matter how long they tried, it would end only when they struck that particular disc.

I'm so pumped. I've been watching both you and fool us forever, and y'all got em. So good.

Ive always had the idea and tried to creat magic using card throwing but ive never seen anyone do it until you two. This was a pleasure to watch congratulations!

I really loved how dynamic this performance was, and for once the intro actually enhanced the actual act on the stage. Great job you guys and also loving all the guesses you've commented on here already:)

Congratulations! When they drop the codes and say straight out what they thought happened, you know a trophy's coming down!

Respect for not spoiling the outcome in the title!

I don't think they forced the tower bridge! When they turned around the board they were throwing the cards at, you can almost see a grid there. I think they threw the cards in a way that they can turn the squares of the grid so that the thrown cards can look like any of the pictures behind the targets. Penn happened to hit the bridge, so at some point while they were showcasing the targets that Penn could have hit, they switched around the grid so that it shows the tower bridge! Really great trick, and great card throwing skills!!

What makes this trick great is that it really switches your attention to the targets, not the thing that was DELIBERATELY hidden from audience view... the artwork of the bridge. If that didn't have anything to do with it, then the artwork could have been shown already and Penn's hit target would be the trick reveal, for an even greater effect. There is even seams in the board. You can see them easily after they flip it around. My guess is that it's some type of panel system that can change the artwork. Possibly remotely (notice how thick the board is, plenty of room for mechanics to handle panel shifting).

Love to see Penn & Teller fooled, and it was such a pleasure that it was coming from a dynamic duo such as yourself 🥳 love the magic, but boy did I have some trouble moving my mouse on my mobile device 😅

Congrats on appearing Fool Us, guys. 10/10 act.

Penn usually tries to talk in code. He didn't this time. Once he realized you had it,there was no hesitation. That was the only guess they had. Nice job

I remember maybe close to 10 years ago you performed at my school 😂. It’s great to see how far you have come!

Speculation about the trick: I am wondering about multiple outs as a component of the trick- the drawing of the bridge could have passed for the Pyramids of Giza in a pinch. I don't think this super likely, and if it's part of the trick it's not all of it. The way that they were taught to throw the card might cause it to go left more often, if they emulated his motion? But I don't think that's it, either. In this clip there's a jump around 5:19 and the board is in a different position, which means they were touching the board while Penn and Teller were talking away, and off camera. I think they did some slight of hand that the audience wouldn't have noticed, but Penn and Teller might have if they had been looking. This wouldn't be a "camera trick" (not allowed) if the trick could be performed in front of a normal crowd without them seeing something wrong. My other idea is that Rick had some kind of decal that easily and quickly stuck to the disk (static electricity?). We've certainly seen sleight of hand of that caliber on the show before- things not caught even on a 0.25x speed replay... This might explain Rokas's brief confusion about a "mechanism". It's not a mechanism (gimmicked) if it's just skill! There might be some way of gimmicking the drawing board...? You can see it's made of segments, but that might be a production limitation rather than a necessary part of the trick. If you combine this with my 1st comment about the Pyramids and Bridge being almost interchangeable- that would be my final guess. For what it's worth, I don't **really** imagine I've figured out something P&T didn't, but it's fun to guess.

Rick and Rokas are back in business!

Great job! I had fun watching you at Silver Dollar City and talking with you for a while. You're a wonderful performer and a great guy in person too. I've been waiting to see how your trick on here turned out! Congrats!

That might be the most unique trick I've seen yet. Dig it.

Dude! This trick is so Perfect!

I think you guys did a great job here and in the end Rick was able to show that not all the target could look like what they created. I look forward to seeing more from the both of you guys in the future!

This was a great performance. I'm sure that Penn was furious when he caught the disc and inspected it.

I love both Rick's stuff and Penn & Teller... So I had to love this

Hey ! Both of you Nice to see you on stage. Bravo ! :-)

Congrats guys, that was awesome

Wonderful! This bridged the gap perfectly between the last Fool Us I saw and the one I’m going to watch now.

I always thought card throwers used metal cards. I’m gobsmacked you can throw normal playing cards with such force!!! Combining with mentalism just sensational. Energetic performance!!

You guys killed it. So happy for you both that you got the trophy 🏆 too👍😊👍😊👍👏👏🤜🤛🍺

The only thing that caught my eye is one of them was really close to the board behind the other magician when he said please take your seats. My guess is that the switch of the picture was done at that very moment unless this is what Pen was already referring to. I just noticed it was prime time with no eyes on their board.

Great job! Love your tricks and tutorials as well as that show!

I was just at the show you performed at pack 303 Blue & Gold! I loved it! 😍

Just saw this on TV.. I imagine that only the London Bridge discs were penetrable, the others the cards couldn’t stick into.

Pure talent! Awesome job guys. Well deserved!

That was a cool trick. 100% original. I love that.

Awesome! Congratulations to you both!

Rick “I had a blast sharing the stage with you and this trophy with Ruckus for 5 secs, now gimme!!”Yeeeet ✌️

Hearty Congratulations both of you 🍾💐! this is great and I love how Rick threw the disc at Penn! 😀

well earned trophy guys. hope they gave one to each of you

So happy for both of u man Been following you for quite a while now and I knew you guys would kill it👏

That is so awesome congratulations to the both of you

Šaunuolis Rokai, linkėjimai iš Lentvario :)

Congratulations guys! awesome trick!

You guys deserve two trophies

Such a great trick by two of the best in the business! Great job Rick and Rokas!

So awesome I loved it.. and the Omage Penn gave to Ricky J… absolutely amazing magician.. was epic

Amazing act!!! And you guys fooled penn and teller. Magnificent

Watching again!! Love this!

Congrats, cool performance and I do believe a cooler friendship.

Awesome job guys!

You did a great job I watched it live!

I hope you fool them again next year to restore balance! Splitting a trophy in half requires throwing some clever trick.

I feel like the other guy who said "I'm not sure..." Almost makes them not getting the trophy 🤣

Love to see this, such a good and creative performance

Gonna take a guess, hope I'm wrong. The board the bridge was "drawn" on was made up of smaller squares of foam. I bet the foam squares could be rotated, and the cards could have formed an approximation of any of the 24 locations. P&T had a free choice, and the image could always be changed.

a great trick, and very skillfull. You both worked good as a team! i am impressed! *thumbs up*

You guys got em!!!!!!! Woww what a trick! Congratulations 🔥🔥🔥

Sensational trick!! Great work guys!!

A great innovative and fun routine! I liked the hundred dollar bet too. LOL

Who knew that Rick Smith Jr.’s debut of magic, (that I know of) would be a fooler! I wish you could’ve shown a little bit of your Modern Rogue episode cuz you seemed familiar, but I couldn’t place you, then I remembered the Modern Rogue episode where you taught Brian and Jason to throw playing cards. Did Brian help you at all too? Cuz I feel like he would love this trick! If he didn’t help you, you should go back on his show and see if you can fool him!

Great trick! The key were those drone Bluetooth gimmick cards. Each has a little camera to check the drawing picked. Then, each card only had to flew to the correct position for that drawing. That is why the board was turned around. Well done anyways.

I met Rokas in Hot Springs during Maxwell Blade's Festival of Magic a few years ago. Amazon dude. Love the magic!

Great magic and skill juggling trick. I was interested and looked through the comments for theories on probable methods and after reading........I thought, instead of guessing how it is done...how about this approach (the 1-p approach). This trick would have really blown some minds if after inviting Penn and Teller to the stage, have them turn away, and then reveal all 24 "locations" to Allyson and the audience. One and only one being the "tower bridge from London" of course. Flipping them back, of course, and then Penn and Teller open fire. And then for Penn and Teller to nail the "tower bridge". If you guys could pull that off in 24 hours, you would have fooled me, and maybe even have gotten Penn to say "You fooled us" instead of "bring down the trophy".

Nice one. 2:35 bottom card is under the visible line, 6:11 there is no card at that position. So magic is in the board. I was also expected that they were able to only targets with London bridge. I like how Rokas didn't believe they won

Good job guys! Now it’s time to start catching a signed card in your teeth! That would be a great “spin” on the trick.

This trick is so so so smart! I am a magician and I thought about 15 minutes and finally I got a solution. This is definitely a trick designed to fool magicians. Every magician will have the same thought as Penn did. This trick is something between force and covering all the choices (multiple-outs) . So smart! So wonderful!

GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! WOO!!!!!

Great trick and thank you for not revealing in the title whether you fooled them or not. :)

Super cool Rick 😊 you’re awesome dude!!

Congratulations you guys!!! VERY GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!

1:51 "Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer"

Wow, awesome guys!

My guess is that the cards can't stick on the other targets because of some sort of hard object, for the target that Rick hit, it could have a certain spot where the card can stick and since he's Rick Smith Jr. he hit it giving us the illusion that every target can be chosen. Of course this may not be the case and only the two knows the secret.

I have been watching Rick Smith Jr for a long time. I still can't throw a playing card worth a damn. I'm glad they won a trophy though.

I'm guessing every disk was the Tower Bridge, except for the ones they showed the image of. Those five disks were designed so they'd be way harder to stick, so that Rick, "The Greatest Card Thrower in the World" Smith Jr. could stick one in his demonstration, but Penn and Teller, "I just learned how to throw a playing card a minute ago" would stick a Tower Bridge copy way before they stuck one of the other images.

If you watch closely in slow motion you can see that they started throwing cards onto the board after revealing the plate. Them throwing cards at the board during the beginning was only a distraction. Pen and Teller might have been fooled but I saw through that lighting fast technique. Great performance!

Very nice trick! 🙌 (I think the magic was in the board 🤔 the way I think the trick was done is: some of the icons were the same, it's almost impossible to remember/know 24 different places in the world and statistically for people who have never trough cards will hit the middle

Great work man ❤

Some are wood and some are not. Only need 5 to be soft enough to have a card stuck in it . 5 the same strategically positioned would be hit quick. So that part is easy. The picture being created with the cards was easy as well. Because each time they switched that allowed a opportunity to remove the bad throws and keep throwing cards until it somewhat resembles a bridge.

Congrats on fooling those guys , i see from the comments people think they figured out how it was done LOL , but personally i just enjoyed the routine

Awesome job dude! That’s Amazing

these guys are amazing looking forward to more from them

This is the best trick ever 🏆

Finally he went to fool us

The real fool us is why there is a mouse cursor on the screen when I am watching this on my phone.

Lol you could tell Penn was like ... ya ... I know how to throw cards :P

"Absolutely not" was said so quickly while the other guy was thinking carefully and honestly out loud..."He was saying mechanism...so...I'm not sure..." Then totally gets carried away with winning.

My guess: 1) Penn and Teller were given two different decks of cards. Penn's might have been the "performance" cards Rick sells that are more likely to stab the target whereas Teller got a deck of ordinary cards that an amateur would be very unlikely to make stick. 2) An amateur unfamiliar with card throwing technique would be unlikely to hit a card at eye level or above. Penn did have one that went high, but it was a wild throw and went to the side as well. So they could put the "proof" targets in a lot of places that would be very unlikely to take a hit, and maybe even thicker (or protected on the inside) than the targets elsewhere, all of which were the bridge. You can see they had to have made the bridge at the beginning; you see them tear off a few flyers when they rotate the board, and they got closer once it was turned to make it neat. And then Rokas is surprised when Penn says they fooled them, so he was clearly on the right track, but wrong to say the targets could be changed to always show the bridge.

Awesome trick. Im thinking that target was the only target that a card would have stuck in. There may have been a few more, but were all the bridge. If i had done that, i would have made 5 or so duplicate targets that were stickable (for lack of better term). And obviously remembered where they were. Not sure if im right, but congratulations to fooling them. Awesome work and a good story behind it.

The fact that they asked Penn & Teller to go back to their seats without revealing the disc immediately seems suspicious to me. I believe there was a sticker with the drawing at the back of the board, and they sticked it on the disc while Penn & Teller were returning to their seats.

Together they are "Rock Smith"!

Guesses. 1. Could be a disk switch, there was a camera cut. So it's just a brute force guess. 2. The words "mechanism". There could be something other than "mechanism" that yields Same result. 3. The stuck the tower bridge pic on the disk after having been selected while penn and teller walked away to their seats.

What an originl trick. Im Impressed. Wtg guys. Helios from Greece.

congrats Rick I have been subbed since you have had 360k subs and I even have your cards Keep it up

The question I have is what would the outcome have been had you shown them all of the targets in the same horizontal line as the one Penn hit? Maybe different?
