He actually has an audible gasp.

This was so bad. You just scribbled on a bunch of cards. Amateur. This show is so bad without Alyson Trash

Other act are funny because it's what the media/tv telling us what is funny. But this dude is a genius Let's talk about other things bc the magic is pure

7:44

It's actually surprising they have not already watched the act in his two prior performances on FISM and France Got Talent

He's been holding that face to pull this one off for the whole time. Perfect ending!

He says "Probably the best day of my week". You know, just in case he wins a better trophy 😂

OMG. Ridiculous talent.

c'était pas dans "le bonheur est dans le prêt" ?

Can’t wait !!!

That was great!

@@RonaldoMessinabanquier ! 😂

Merci!

that wasnt him that made that noise lol. it does really look like it with the timing tho

@@rvkit2873 You can simultaneously see and hear him react a couple times in the video. It's coming from someone else's mic, so it would have to be someone on stage anyway

I bet he does a deck switch indeed and this is just misdirection

@@AntonAdelson imo Penn and Teller would appreciate this even more since they're masters at misdirecting you even though you know what to look for. Check out their take on the classic cup and balls trick with clear plastic cups. You can see the sleight of hand as it happens, but it's still absolutely magical.

@@AntonAdelson Not necessarily, although possible. He also does the fake sleight of hand with the empty hand on his chin. After all, the routine was designed to first and foremost impress and entertain magicians (at FISM, not P&T), not a regular audience.

He does a switch later at 4:18. The whole act is very clever: He draws over the signature so that he can easily forge signed cards. Then halfay in the trick he does this switch. Then the "pause" is just misdirection, to make you forget about what happened. The fact that some seemingly random cards are face up, plus that he flips the kings and another random card, makes you think it's a normal deck, and marries well with the chaotic style. But the forged signed cards were here since this instant, and there is just no way you can trace it back if you're seeing it the first (or 5th) time because of all the chaos, even if the switch itself is not really hidden.

@@twinklesprinkle1318 Yep, that's more or less exactly what I wrote in my another comment here! But you gave a lot more details! Thank you! This whole thing is like 10 minutes of pure non-stop misdirection master-class!

Same at the end, with the hand in front of the mouth, supposed to hide the card lol

Exactly my thoughts, I'm still laughing. Reminded me a bit of Lennart Green as well. Amazing deadpan delivery.

I think he also did a "I don care" when Penn swap cards? Saw a few references I think.

Probably both are in the top 3 Fool Us performers

@@Pandor18 Oh absolutely, same excellence as Shin Lim, Dani Daortiz, Asi Wind, and probably Mario Lopez also has to be mentioned here. I fucking love magic!

References?... He literally waved and said hi Dani

Bumble 💪

He is a master !!!

@@Markobi1 Stay bumble!

Lennart Greene approves this routine :)

Google Juan Tamariz. I thought this style looked familiar and then he shouted out Dani and I knew for sure.

Prestige level of commitment.

No character here man. I’ve seen him at conventions, he’s like that all the time.

@@Noleggeisha i was waiting for him to smile after receiving the trophy. His face did not change.

@@Noleggeisha there are other videos of him out of character

And they don't get invited on stage very often 😛

Unless I am mistaken, apart from Richard Turner's act, this is the only other close-up magic act in which they immediately went to the 'you fooled us' verdict.. without engaging in all the coded banter which Penn does post the act.

@@sailaab There was also the one that Markobi himself referenced in this routine, Dani Ortiz, and unbelievable magician.

​@@sailaabyou are indeed mistaken and you should go watch the dani daoritz fool us as long with this performance the 2 best magicians ever on fool us and 2 of the best magicians alive. what an awesome little homage to dani with the "it's your life" line bravo

Absolutely, to see Teller, who is a phenomenal sleight if hand person himself acting like a kid at a magic show is incredible

​ @calpoker21 @@sailaab IIRC, one of the first appearances of Jandro was an instant fooler, too.

This is your life ❤

❤❤

Cuando vi tu rutina en P&T se me cayeron los 🥚🥚 al suelo, im - presionante!....... pero lo de Markobi es otro nivel macho! 🤣

the two best performances ever on fool us giving tribute to each other makes me so happy. the smile on my face when he said it's your life was ear to ear. great recognize great.

Hi Dani!

You do really that its not teller's oh right? Because he has no mic bro

​@MegaVSable theres clearly a mic on his tie.

i'm not sure but i think most of those cards and probably all on the side close to penn where kings signed like brook normally does and his 'squiggle' and he's good at just showing the few that aren't etc. it looks like the card penn initially choose was also a king signed card as he lays it down for a split second.. i'm probably totally wrong haha

@@serloinz Considering this is the same routine he did at FISM, penn and teller has prob studied that video 100 times and not figured it out. So probably it is not as easy as a bunch of same cards.

And while I've seen Teller be amazed before I think this is the first time I've seen him jump in shock!

@@mullvaden83 Well the card signed at 1:04 is not the same as the one picked on 7:47

@@mullvaden83 well maybe it's a case of overlooking the simplest answer ..most of what he did would be so much easier if all (except a select few) were signed kings. Again i have no idea.. just a though

Merci monsieur !

Not the first time. I remember once, with a similar close-up card trick like this one, Penn & Teller barely left the stage before deciding they were fooled, immediately turned around and announced it, never made it back to their seats 😅 I think it was Richard Turner?

@@Erlewyn Can't remember what they did with Richard Turner, but they definitely did something like that with Dani DaOrtiz.

@@akmadsen Oh, yeah, forgot about that one, but it's basically the same thing.

jandro was really quick to fool them

Yeah I was shook as well. Madness for real.

My reaction as well, he changed the fcking card!!

You spoke my mind. 😂 I guess it kind of make sense in retrospect. But still such a cool ack and cool moment.

His facial expression looks like he's disgusted by how somebody can be THAT good. 😆 (My favorite moment as well.)

markobi won the olympics of slight of hand card manipulation last year. he’s the best in the world at this type of magic. he’s actually the master.

It's *sleight of hand my friend, with an 'e'.

@@goldeneddie you must be mistaken, i’m talking about the olympics for people with very small hands

@@supitschillbro Ah, my mistake! By the way, are there any single FEMALE magicians at that event? Asking for a friend.

Penn was watching and Teller just enjoyed the show.

This whole trick and the style was basically copy paste from Lennart green when he performed on ted. Check it out.

It's almost like seeing Steven Wright do card magic (and do it amazingly well).

Merci tu sais combien ce commentaire compte ❤

J'ai saigné youtube à le regarder encore et encore jusqu'à ses indispensables conseils de vie que j'utilise dans mon travail de médecin urgentiste. Bravo à toi pour ta routine et vivement ta prochaine visite à Bordeaux!?

Did he use multiple Kc?

I think he just be. Maybe that's why he scribbled on the card, so it would not be as noticeable?

@@azzaKaiapoi That's exactly it. Him being nonchalant with the cards and seemingly having them turn over at random is what makes the trick what it is and lulls you away from the explanation. If he was being meticulous with the cards and the packets, you'd immediately think that the deck wasn't genuine.

Check 7:37, the first card selected was also signed

Not only that, but the scribbles were different from the original that Brooke wrote on.

Cheers

Lennart Green is still very much alive in my knowledge.

Yes he very much is, I’m aware. I must have misspelled preemptively and my phone thought that I was trying to say preeminently. Appreciate you for pointing that out so much. All fixed now. 🫡

Indeed. Markobi's card handling had many allusions to Lennart Green. Very enjoyable.

@@neilwoller He’s got all that LG energy and a bag of chips, lol 😝

I guess his "uncle" (which is "not realy his uncle, it's for the script") like the kudos of this FISM act feom markobi 🎉 You know the only that shows him "how to find kings" 😂 My only question is : how much geeky reference/kudos to other closeup magician is there here in front of us, 5 ? More ?

world champion🎉

Greetings

How did he do the last switch? The Very last move.

@@Conqoo you mean when Markobi reveal the signed king of clubs? I don't think there is any switch. My guess is that the switched deck contains only pre-signed KC except for the few cards that have been displayed face up on purpose and the bottom card. Therefore, Penn could have selected any face down card and it would have been a KC. To confirm my theory: 1. the card displayed by Markobi is clearly not the same as the one that Brooke and Markobi signed. 2. After the deck switch I didn't see any move that are reversing the orientation of cards, therefore some cards were already face up in the switched deck. 3. Many actions/elements have been added by Markobi after the deck switch. This is so smart as usually the trick happens right after the switch. In this case the effect happened over 3 minutes after the switch. People already have forgotten that a card switch happened or didn't even linked the 4:18 move as a deck switch opportunity but rather an effect showing the transformation of a deck of cards into a single one.

Of course, "K" was a forced card and more "K" cards were described - the description of the first "K" is not the same as the description "K" at the end. The "awkwardness" was supposed to convince that the cards were different. It is a good trick that requires an obedient audience, which Penn and Teller are - they never look at cards if they are not invited. The trophy had to be handed over because Penn guessing deck replacement. However, this trick does not require such a switch - the magician made several tricks "from his pocket" in advance to convince the audience of this possibility. The magician is a very knowledgeable man and deserves the trophy.

🙏

Go go go !🎉
