Penn and Teller just showed us how much class they have! Great ending!

@rickl.461 Ай бұрын

Agreed. They always give props, whether fooled or not, and take a magicians word if he/she says "that's not how I did it," and here they followed up. They truly appreciate the art.

I've been fortunate enough to know Ben since middle school. In every theater arts tournament and Latin competition, Ben would do make shift magic performances for all of us. He's one of the most genuine, incredible people I know. I took my wife to see him at the standing show he has in Houston, It was one of the best performances I've ever seen, we've been rooting for him a long time. Congratulations on your success, it is very well earned! Magistra Miller would be proud.

It's amazing how smart some people are. They are just born that way. Some are physical athletes, and some mental. This guy seems like a smart dude.

@VicInCommentSection Ай бұрын

"Just born that way" may sound nice, but it can take away all the studying, practicing, and strategizing a person has done to get to where they are now.

@boreduser12 Ай бұрын

@@VicInCommentSection you're missing the point. A 5 ft 4 guy will never become a NBA star. He's just born that way. A 7 ft guy athletic guy has huge potential to become one. My point is that this guy was born to be a star. Luckily for him, he followed his abilities and talent instead of wasting it.

@alexubel Ай бұрын

@@boreduser12 There are several 5'x" NBA stars that would like to have a word with you. Never mind the sheer multitude of 7' tall people that can't move well enough to play basketball. A grand total of thirty 7'x" tall people have been NBA players. No one is born to be a star... people only attain that after years of hard work and dedication.

Not just respect to P&T for recognizing they were fooled, but also major props to to you for taking the first (alleged) loss as a true gentleman even though you weren't 100% sure they knew your method. Also, amazing trick and presentation. World class stuff, nicely done!

A very rare retraction by Penn & Teller! Congrats Ben! It happens but I know the producers confer with them about what they thought it was and what it was. I think (to my knowledge) this is the 4th time this has happened! Congrats for doubly fooling them!

Many watch Penn and Teller for the tricks, some for the comedy...but most for the class. Who would expect that a pair of illusionists would be so honest, even to the point of admitting they were wrong? Well Done, Mr Jackson.

@RodZilla11 Ай бұрын

What makes this trick so amazing is the many layers of deception used to hide the method from the crowd. This makes me love PENN and TELLER even more.

Really, really unexpected finale. I thought they'd get it cause it wouldn't be the first time they weren't expecting a box. Sleighdini might come to mind for this one, but something tells me this is a lot more new and fresh. The performance itself was perfectly executed. Surgical even. Patter was clear, cut, you had 0 empty words, even when you were buying time you did it without skipping a beat. Marvelous routine, perfectly executed, and I don't think anyone expected the finale. Marvelous!

@blacxthornE Ай бұрын

Hey the etymology of the word clue is true! That's amazing! That's great, it was a bit obvious you weren't convinced at the end but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. I guess they picked up on that too, so wanted to make sure and asked you about it. This is why I love this show. An entire series about "fooling" is ironically the most honest show on TV.

@raoulduke5405 Ай бұрын

I had a feeling when they said you didn't fool them that you were quite sure you did but basically had to take the high road. Good for you.... On ALL that! Wishing you continued success... Seriously though, being a doctor, museum director and all that... Having that trophy must be the coolest feeling of them all. Congrats!

@combatkiller7881 Ай бұрын

Well done! Its cool to see Penn & Teller being honest and reward you the trophy.

@Benivere1 Ай бұрын

At the 2013 TEDx in Houston, Ben offered this thought in his keynote... "The secret of a great trick isn't the method. The method behind the magic often times is unattractive and disappointing. The real artistry in magic, the beauty in magic, lies in the artistry behind the scenes." Ben Jackson really does have that artistry. Watching him up close is simply amazing. Congratulations on being awarded 'You Fooled Us'! To Penn and Teller, thank you for your level of support of the art and craft of illusion, and your high integrity as demonstrated in this episode. Thank you Ben for keeping me amazed! You make it look so effortless.
