Teller: says nothing *gets more laughs than Jimmy*

"Do not applaud!" - Penn, 2019

I drive lyft sometimes and I picked up Teller a few of weeks ago! It was cool! He was such a nice, chill dude.

That’s my boi Pain and Terror

Penn and Teller have a brilliant double misdirection built into their act. While Penn is clearly drawing the attention because he's big and loud, you start to think "I need to keep an eye on that shifty little bastard over there" and you just keep getting pulled back and forth and you can't focus on either one entirely.

for the first time in my life i'm creeped out by a man for NOT having a ponytail.

4:06 Can I just point out how masterfully Teller was concealing that huge deck of cards?

The real trick is that Penn convinced you to forget he is a magician and believe he was a juggler in that act, and then applaud him for being a juggler.

And that is why I quit juggling and became a politician.

Penn explained on his Podcast the reason Teller is sitting the entire time is he got injured on vacation and couldn't really walk or stand. He's better now.

Penn: ( juggles really well) Jimmy: nothing Teller: ( whips out a wand ) Jimmy: oh my goodness!

Nobody: Nobody at all: Teller:

*The Reveal:* *Set up:* The pack of cards was organized in a way Penn remembered, the shuffle in the beginning was "the juggle", he practiced on that shuffle before. After the shuffle, the pack was organized in the way he remembered every single position of every card. Teller had his own four pack of cards, one for every sign (heart, diamond etc.), And the gimmick of them is a 13 buttons on the other side that slowly pushes a card, and every pack has all 13 cards + fake cards, and all of them with the same sign. *The Penn part:* *Illusion:* In 2:27 Penn shuffled the cards, but didn't really, he took about 15 cards from the top, and mixed them back to the top, which had no effect on the magic since Jimmy cut the pack in the middle. *The cheat:* In 2:56 Penn had a peek at the face of his cards, and since he remembers the order of cards, he knew what card Jimmy's going to pick, and how many cards does he has in his hands. *The signal:* _(only if you're in a team)_ In 3:02 Penn delivers Teller the information he has, he lifts the pack *9* times, and makes a weird shake in his hand that signaled the *hearts* (he had three other pre approved moves that hinted the other three signs), that's how Teller knew it is the *9* of *hearts.* *The Teller part:* *The show:* In 4:05 Teller reaches into his jacket and searched for the *heart* sign pack, he takes it out and opens it up. *The illusion:* In 4:17 Teller takes a flower as a distraction from the fact that in the other side, he spins a roller that pulls the *9,* he had 12 other rollers that would've spin the other 12 cards out. *The end:* Well unsurprisingly Teller was "right" and Jimmy's card was the *9* of *hearts,* they didn't force the card or faked anything. *The vote:* Just watch the video there's nothing to not understand with the votes.. JK lol hope it helped you understand the magic and how magic tricks usually work. Have fun i was the YOYOMAN. ;)

Having had the pleasure of meeting Penn and Teller, and then Penn in his own a few times, you will never meet two more genuine people! If you’re ever in Vegas, I strongly recommend their show at the Rio!!!

i love how penn has cut his hair and teller does not complain about it

Plot twist: Teller is a ventriloquist and Penn was lip syncing the whole time.

Teller is 71 years old! Thats the real magic, great act as well

2:55 when he moves the cards from his right hand to the left. He looks at the card at the bottom. That card tells him everything.

The trick is revealed at 2:55 Penn has memorized the order of the deck and the shuffle he does is false. He instructs Jimmy to cut 'a little more' than half way, this is to make it a bit harder to throw off the audience, and if he messed up the top few cards. Since he knows the exact order of the deck, he sneaks a peek at the bottom of the stack as he turns them over at the 2:55 mark. Since he knows the bottom card is the 9 of Spades for example, and the 9 of Spades is 26, then 9 of Hearts is 27. Teller also knows the order of the deck, and when he hears Penn say '27' he knows the next card would be the 9 of Hearts.

Penn: *Don't applaud, Don't applaud* Jimmy: *Let them applaud* Penn: *Do not applaud, Do not applaud* Jimmy: *Let them applaudddd* Teller: 😌😌 Whatever 😌😌

Poor Teller can't get a word in edgewise, as usual.

If that VR game has another bus game in it. Penn and Teller you goats

Penn and Teller are my favourite magicians. Not only are they great magicians but their showmanship is second to none. That's what makes them the greatest in my opinion.

half, if not more, of Penn & Teller's brilliance is in the narrative of their tricks. The way the ideas are framed is just masterful.

Their personalities are half their act. Absolutely amazing.

Penn: "Doc, I've lost 99 pounds. I just can't shake the last one pound." Doctor: "Have you considered cutting off your hair?" Penn: "Done!"

Pemn and Teller are masters of great IDEAS in magic and entertainment..period.

The cards are in a special order and Penn looks at the bottom card at 2:55. Once you know the bottom card, you know all about the picked card card, Teller also knows the number so he's ready to raise the correct card. Once Penn says there are 27 cards, the rest is trivial.

Once you figure out the trick, the way this trick is performed and the banter surrounding it is top notch. Very nicely done.

The cards are set up in a certain order at 2:56 Penn sees the bottom card. He now knows what card follows so he knows what card Jimmy cut to. He also knows how far down. He codes the card to the person sitting in Tellers humongous chair who sets up the 9 of hearts to be the card to come up. That assistant is the one who hands the big deck to Teller through a hole in the chair. Well that's my guess. You even hear Penn use the word Heart at 3:42. It's not a deck where every other card is a 9 of hearts because he has Jimmy count the cards face up on the table and if every other card was a 9 of hearts Jimmy would notice that. But he wouldn't notice a set up order deck.

This is one of the most amazing performances I’ve seen!! Great indeed, very fantastic!

2:57 penn glimpses the bottom card. This shows the entire deck has been stacked in a pre arranged order so that Penn knows the card and position in the deck. By glimpsing the bottom card, Penn knows the next card is 9 Hearts AND the prearranged system associates each card with a number equal to its position. Then it’s a communication or code system to transfer the two digits of the position to their assistant who is hiding in the big chair and loads the card into the big box. Note this is the ONLY card in the large box… bc the box is simply a mechanical widget to raise the card. This shows the incredible detail, skill, memory work, practice, and sheer gall P&T have gone to to create this illusion. Damn good.

Penn and Teller have the relationship I aspire to have.

1:14 Penn: * literally going to tell everybody about it* Jimmy: *interrupts Penn* "tell everybody bout this"

Story and setup was so good that I forgot that he was answering a question.

Lovely stuff! Big smiles all round!

Whenever I watch Penn and Teller does Tricks, I always keep an Eye on Teller while Penn do the talking and other stuff to distract us. When Penn do the juggling you can see Teller taking out the folding stick from his hat. Around 1:55

If anyone can legitimately wear a Wizard's hat. ..its Teller.

I love them so much! There live show is incredible!!!

He absolutely cut the deck in a specific place. Very subtle, but works every time.

The back of the cards is marked with the number of each card. Once he says the number, the small person hidden inside Teller's chair inserts the correct card into the trick deck, then hands it to teller through the gap in the chair.

I love Penn and Teller so much. So glad they have been immortalised in borderlands as Pain and Terror honestly was such an amazing surprise when I played the game.

They're the best! Well done!!!!!

I love how Teller while holding the big 9 of hearts signals to Jimmy when he looks at him, "Yes this is your card buddy". Before he pulls it out lol

Jimmy barely got to talk in this. *What a great video this is* 😌

2:27 the classic non-shuffle shuffle

Wonderful act! Thanks! But the BIG "event" was Penn's new hairstyle! Absolutely looks great! It's a keeper! Appreciate it! Thanks!

These guys are the absolute best!!

Penn does NOT shuffle the cards. He just pretends to. They are ordered. After the cut he looks at the bottom card and immediately works out how many cards he has as indicated by the bottom card. He also knows what the next card is because the cards are all ordered. Teller doesn't know what it is and he NEVER knows what it is. After Penn announces that there will be 27 cards the assistant concealed under the chair then knows what card he must get ready for its grand appearance in Teller's hands. Penn asked Jimmy to cut to the middle or MORE because he needed to give the assistant time to arrange the big deck in readiness for the reveal. Jimmy's counting the cards to a number greater than 26 gives the assistant the time he needs. The large deck is, by this time ready to be extracted from the hole in the chair at his right side.

Penn's shuffle at the beginning is a fake shuffle that doesn't really alter the position of the cards (or if it did, it would be just the few at the top). Thus, the deck order has not been altered. Penn has committed to memory the order of the cards and thus, after Jimmy's cut and placing the deck on his hand, he flips it over really quick to see the bottom card. This allows him to know exactly how many cards are in his hand and what is the card that Jimmy has placed in his pocket. Teller also knows the order so after Penn tells everyone its 27 cards, Teller knows exactly to pull the 9 of hearts out.

I absolutely love these guys!

These two are just awsome!

The real magic would be making an American audience not applaud at everything.

I love how Teller always looks _kind of_ stoned.

I really enjoyed this one! Love Penn & Teller!

The banter is great 😂😂

My favorite part is that it is very hard to tell how this trick was done as there are a TON of false leads. Penn keeps his hands looking like there is a deck switch, did he false shuffle, he says things like “Keep in your Heart” while also flashing the number 10 then a 1, and while he’s talking to Jimmy, Teller keeps on looking at Penn’s left hand which keeps giving numbers, Teller’s turn then distracts the camera and Jimmy which could allow another deck switch when nobody is looking. And because it’s Penn and Teller, we have no clue to know which ones of these were actually false flags to make you lose if you were in the Hot Seat for Penn and Teller fool us.

When storytelling is actually doing magic! Well done Penn and Teller

love them both

Such a great act as always

Penn looks younger! love ya Jimmy , from new Zealand

My eyesight is bad and I didn't have my specs on so I Actually thought that was the queen of England sitting on the chair in the thumbnail lol 🤣🤣

Absolute legends.

Still KILLING it!

If I were to do this trick, I'd memorize the deck's shuffle, false shuffle as Penn, read the bottom card at 2:55 , have Jimmy count the cards out to buy time, have a person hidden in Teller's chair put the correct card in the right spot then hand the big deck up to teller between the cushion, have teller move the correct card up, have the hidden person in chair set off confetti canon. Why do they need an entire platform for this chair? It'd be easier to just have the chair on the stage, and why does the chair need to have fabric all the way down? There's something hidden in there, and the addition of a riser suggests to me that it's a person.

It's crazy cause Teller isn't short, he's an average guy, standing at 5'9'' tall. Penn is just a huge man standing at 6'6'' tall.

Penn and Teller are my favorite magicians and always will be.

What was that sound at 2:22 when he pulled the cards out of the deck 😂

Teller: *breaths* Jimmy Fallon: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

"Remember in your heart" Part of Penn communicating to Teller the card lol

I remember the 9 of Hearts gag deck as a kid. Wild stuff.

Can;t wait to see the updated VR version of the Desert Bus. :)

Wow thanks penn and teller im going to rob my friend now with my vr set 😂

The brilliance of Penn and Teller's magic tricks is that you never care how they are done. They are more entertaining than they are magical. But if you want to know how it's done... I believe it is a stacked deck. Jimmy cuts the cards. Penn sneaks a peak at the bottom card of his packet, which was directly above jimmy's card. That tells him what Jimmy's card is. Then I believe he secretly tells Teller which card it is. Another comment suggested that when he says "Remember in your heart" it was to communicate the suit to teller. I think there may be something going on with the hand gestures Penn does around 3:51. He actually does do the ASL sign for 9 many times, which may just be a natural hand gesture but it's hard to say. Then Teller just uses a big gimmick deck to rise the card. In their masterclass, Penn actually said that when they come up with an idea for an effect, they pretend to perform it as if the magic is real and observe their own mannerisms to find out what they do naturally and what they can get away with. For instance, Penn naturally puts his hands in his pockets often and talks with his hands while Teller often keeps his arms down at his sides. So I can totally see Penn using his natural hand gestures to conceal a secret hand gesture.

Loved these guys since the early90s

They are such a great duo :D

Anyone else noticed that Jimmy was wearing “lifts” to make himself not that short compared to Penn.

lol whoever did subtitles "Sony Playstation, Oculus, Vibe."

They’re awesome.

I wish I could be taught specifically by these two fantastic humans

3:14 Jimmy Fallen has an actual band sitting there and he just chose to count. A band's job is making counting interesting.

-"That is how you do it!" Jimmy Fallon 2019

I have always loved the swindler routine they perform its classic Penn and Teller.

This is awesome..

“Remember in your heart”, *holds up 9 fingers.*

Jeb Bush: please clap Penn: *DO NOT APPLAUD*

Ahaha. I love these guys and penns patter. This was, through and through, a beginner trick, but the patter and presentation made it into a great trick.

Great camera work for this trick.

Penn is so humble, perfect example of a true Newfoundlander

Penn, will you please run for president? you guys are awesome though.

This will be the only video i watch from any of the late night Jimmies

Jimmy is so cute!! “Let them applaud” “oh i got that”

Penn “shuffled” the cards himself. It means he knows the order of the cards. He then insisted on Jimmy cutting the deck in the middle. Penn looks at the bottom card so he knows the number of cards in his hand, it also reveals the card to Teller. Pretty simple trick.

Penn truly is a magician. He sold an encyclopedia to Joey Tribbiani.

3:03 lmao asking Jimmy Fallon to look you in the eyes isn't enough try adding "without laughing, grinning, or snickering" lol i just expect Jimmy to crack up too quick xd funny guy

Jimmy u r awesome

Teller reminds me of thing 1 and thing 2 from the cat in the hat

To be honest i felt like the applause for penn was more than for teller lol, but i understand what they did try with that performance so great anyways :)

I fuckin love Penn and Teller!!! I love how penn says “I know what happened, but I’m not gonna tell you” great line

It was nice of Jimmy to come to Penn and Teller's show
