He's practiced this sleight of hand so much and so hard it's actually made his arms ripped, very impressive!

In the beginning, that was a good joke 😂 “I got the wrong person” first time I’ve heard that one, that was great 😂

A simple and fun performance. As Boris Wild said just being able to perform on that stage for P & T is a win in and of itself. So grats for getting the chance to be there.

Dude, I could hear the nervousness in your voice but hot damn you flipping NAILED that routine. Great job!

So incredibly impressive, performing on Network television in front of Penn & Teller! Always knew you had the skills, now you're finally starting to get that well deserved shine! Bravo!! 👏👏

all the basics into one amazing trick! This is one of my favorite style of magic! All skill, no gimmicks, no TV magic.

He may not have fooled P&T but he sure fooled me and that's why I'm here. I truly admire such dedication to the craft.

A brilliant example of how mastery of the basics can truly astound an audience. Alyson's reactions say it all. Wonderful job Makoto!

What a wonderful way to give some meaning and context to an established idea by giving it a new theme - love it!

it seems like a "simple" trick, but it's done so clean, and the narrative really works into letting you do what you need to do. beautiful slight of hand.

I literally got goosebumps when you turned the stand . Wonderful performance

The execution was flawless. I have NO IDEA how you did that. I saw you turn the card around, but I did not see any swapping of cards. Just very clean. Loved it!

If you slow the video down to .25 the speed, and watch from 1 minute on, you’ll notice nothing and be amazed, Awesome trick man!!

What's amazing on so many of these performances, is Penn's ability to "code" a solution so quickly, on the fly. That's never mentioned and while mundane at times, others, it's pure genius the way he slips in the key words.

quite an easy trick to figure out, but to perform it this clean, amazing.

I'm not a magician but I watch these clips often. From the very first move, I knew what you were doing. I watched you do the same move three more times. I knew what the move was. But damn, I could not actually see you do it - so smooth and fast. Remarkable level of skill. And that final face up swap from the 10 clubs to the 3 of clubs - don't know how you managed that one at all. Amazing work, wish you the very best of luck!!

That's so awesome man that you got to perform for Penn and Teller. It was great to see a busker on there. Your magic was on point man 😁👍

I know how the trick was done (been into magic my whole half century life) but the patter was excellent, the hallucination story really gripped my imagination and made me ready to see something unbelievable.

That was simply impressive! Amazing effect and your sleight of hand was phenomenal!

He didn't fool me, a non-magician on the hunt, so he never expected to fool The Great Ones. Still, a warm, funny and well-executed act.

This is the definition of doing ordinary techniques in extraordinary ways. The methids he used were one of the firsts I learned starting magic but the execution was nicely done.

Man, that was slick.

What an incredible performance! I want to see more from him..❤️

What a great clean trick! I always love tricks with little banter and just go for the trick

Yeah, Makoto! Loved it!

Great job. Tons of pressure. Great work

Great work! Nice to see some wonderful card magic on the show!

Well You Sure Fooled The Hell Outta Me!! Have No Idea How You Did It!! PROPS.......

Amazing sleight of hand!

Loved that trick, super simple and clean!

Loved his attitude and performance. Well done!

Seeing the 3 of clubs (penn and tellers signature force card) and you're story about the 2 and the tens made me completely ready to believe you forced the cards and i was completely baffled. 😂 Well done!

Weird cut at the very end, after the trick and after penn gave his thoughts🤔 That was a good trick, nice sleight if hand, I really like sleight of hand card tricks and as penn said, the story behind it was interesting as well.

Great performance! I could tell you’ve been a dedicated magician from the start. Getting here is definitely a major accomplishment

I love this routine! It's a great premise, and your handing is clean.

Awesome...Bravo....👍👍👍

This was fantastic!

So slick with your moves! Great job!

Gorgeous trick all around. Very well done

Great routine! A lot of fun to watch!

Fantastic performance man!

One of my favorite magicians. He’s so professional I love the way they showed his intro. The Bruce Lee of magic

Even though I guessed what moves you were doing, the execution was so deft and smooth that I couldn't see the tricks at all. Brilliant.

Amazing trick!

Wow! Now THAT'S how you do card magic! Very clean moves, and clever, succinct banter. First time on national television, but looks like a seasoned professional.

beautifully executed, hats off!

Love this premise and beautifully executed!

Good stuff Makoto! Keep up the good work!

Dude this was a great rendition of the ambitious card! Loved it!

I don't care how he did it, I don't even want to know. It's just that he did it so well that's all that counts with me.

That was beautiful 👌🏻👏🏻

Such great use of basics This had everything a good trick should have 🤘🏻

Watched this video before and still enjoyed watching it my second time. I don't know how you do that trick but it's fun to watch. When other illusionists perform I usually look for angles and moves but for some reason I didn't feel like trying to catch you. lol. Who knows, maybe on my third or 4th watch I might try to figure it out. 😎

As a huge p&t fan and I watched almost every episode you fooled me like hell xD

Don't worry mate! You were not able to fool Penn & Teller, but you completely fooled me!!! Really nice trick you do, I hope you have a wonderful day! Thank you so much for the show!

Superb. Wonderful act, beautifully performed.

You are the most wholesome nice guy I’ve ever seen, keep up the good work man!!

loved the trick and your energy! wishing you the very best!

Congrats man! So exciting, happy for you!

well, i liked it.

Nice act! Nice to see more young people doing magic

Nice job! So clean!😍

That was an amazing job.

sweet, mak.

Ya fooled me!

Fun trick with some good, fundamental card mechanics.

..this was a great routine with humor added for good measure! However, personally, I would've done it a fourth time so that when you eventually reveal the cards they are completely different - (like 4 aces) or something... I say this.. cos I know you could pull it off! You have a promising future, buddy - keep at it!! :)

Nice performance makoto , beautiful , thank you for posting the video

Very sleek moves, beautiful trick

Very cool & simple performance! Very calming performance 👌

WOW

dude 10/10 trick how on earth did this not fool them!? very good performance 10/10

Watching Penn and Teller as much as I have, when a magician tells me their pocket has no flaps or hidden compartments, my immediate reaction is "that card isn't going in that pocket". The magic word is 'misdirection', and it is an absolute joy when I have those little reactions. I don't think I'm spoiling anything by saying that, either; it's pretty obvious that you're just pretending to put the card in. For the life of me, though, I have no idea how you're palming it and hiding it on its way back out of the pocket to do the rest of the trick. It doesn't look like your hand is in any way holding anything, or taking up enough space to hide a card at all. That's why I think knowing a trick doesn't take away from it. The execution is just as entertaining... and even someone like me who has zero skill or talent for magic tricks can appreciate it.

wow amazing!

loved it, ,Makoto is one of my favourites ,

So skillful! Great trick :)

Just subscribed friend! You fooled me for sure and I really enjoyed!

Bravo !!

Nice presentation👍👍👏👏👏

Great performance. I did see a couple of things and for the first time I actually understood what Penn was on about.Keep going it was a said a good performance and well done.

Awesome routine

Great job, even if you were maybe a bit nervous, the routine was very well made and a lot enjoyable

Damn, that was smooth.

David Blaine is the only magician that loves the double lift more than you do. Great performance.

SGV represent! Congrats dude!

lovely act with a relatable theme and it was simply a joy to watch and it was no spoiler in the title, but sadly i can only give you one thumbs up

There was no way he was going to fool P&T with that trick. It’s main gimmick is a move taught in chapter 1 of “Beginners card magic”

Makoto you good sir are great 😃

Nice video and trick. I liked it a lot.

I love your performance, I thank God I don't know how you do it and I don't want to know it! Actually, I guess is P&T loss if they weren't fooled ... even if it's obvious they highly appreciate your skills!

You didn't fool them. You looked incredibly nervous. You did a gorgeous trick with consummate skill. Guess which one of those matters. ;) Love your work, man.

Dude be proud of yourself, I tried several slow motion views to figure your trick but I could not spot a flaw nor your trick. You are tricks 10× better than many who got "fool us" awards, frankly speaking you deserve high praise for your trick. Your voice sounded very nervous but the trick was flawless.

Very nice

Nicely done

good job young man!!!

Great trick but it could never fool them. It’s just really good sleight of hand

Right on Makoto! Loved the story! 💖

The last time I saw that move done that well, it was a Schaefer beer TV commercial consisting of tricks by John Scarne, featuring close-up shots of his hands and stop motion; just a music track so no patter. You are now in a class with John Fucking Card-Sharp Scarne!

Great handling of the cards, and even better improvisational skills, making a good story about each card

This performance made me to subscribe to your channel. Great skills. Seems there is some editing done while Penn was talking, obviously, doesn' t want few things coming out! But, indeed, it's a great show and very smooth.
