This is exactly what magic should look like - with a wow effect. Yes, simple card tricks were used. From the beginning, a person hidden behind a canvas was known, but the moment of surprise with the frog was excellent - it could not be predicted. Bravo.
To be honest, I expected him to make a live frog appear during the act. I just have absolutely no f*cking idea how he made it appear during the card cut.
This is a great example of pacing in magic. The routine crescendos and builds right through to the production of the live frog. Great take on Mike Close's routine. Well done Jorge.
What I love about this is that it seems like just another card trick, the story origami frog is a cute touch but it just seems like patter, the tricks themselves are pretty familiar to anyone who's watched magic so we get kind of comfortable and complacent because we know where it's all going...and then the real frog appears and instantly changes the whole experience because we weren't watching a card trick at all, the whole card trick was just misdirection from conjuring a live f**** frog! I was genuinely astonished and absolutely loved it!
Deck switch at 5:56 and new deck is pulled out which is dug out from inside to fit the frog. --- The card cut was guided by Jorge Blass(holding the girl's wrist) to cut above the frog container hollowed cards end. ps: even when he puts the final card inside, he pushes it way below.
I'm from Spain, and Jorge Blass is one of the most popular magicians here. He's so amazing. I've been in one of her shows and it really surprised me a lot. He's a genius. I love seeing he fooled penn and teller
Wow! Realmente me encanto tu truco/espectáculo de magia, mi distante primo de la España - bien planeado y muy bien realizado! Desde ahora tienes un nuevo “fan” venezolano, ojalá podré ver tu “show” entero algún día! 🙂🎩🐇.
Great routine. You could see the surprise -and delight- on both their faces when the frog appeared in the deck. Penn was very up front about how he fooled them. Distraction is the key to magic, and as he baited them with a series of comments and props which they easily saw through, he snuck one in that they missed because it was totally unexpected.
The frog was mind blowing. It is pretty easy to track down the load on the video, but watching it live is the magical part. I think P&T were right to call fooler if they did not see the load even though they new it had to have happened that way. Having it feel like the trick was ending with the deck of cards was the misdirection. I totally took my eye off the deck because I thought it was done and my guess is P&T did, too. I literally opened my mouth just like them when that happend.
My mind is blown that they said they were fooled. I mean duh, you can see him shove his hand in his pocket that's turned away from the audience. I feel like the tougher part is constructing a hollow deck like that that still feels like a real bunch of cards. But it seems like all you'd have to do is have some of the cards in that stack have a little give to them so it really feels like the deck is squaring up when you pinch it to lift it. But the show is not called Surprise Us, it's called Fool Us. So I don't get them giving this act a pass.
@@Gaudette-Frango I guess the question becomes whether we're counting being fooled by watching a live show, or whether the fooling has to include going through close-up footage of the act frame cby frame after the trick. I don't know many magic acts that could stand up to that. But I don't know if they should have to. Most misdirection involves fooling you in the moment, not retroactively in slow motion. But yeah, it would be cool to be a trick that could withstand all kinds of scrutiny. But it wouldn't be easy to come up with a trick that no one has ever thought of for thousands of years.
I had to watch this video 5+ times to figure out how he got the frog there, but I still don’t understand how he changed the origami frog from a Jack to the card she selected. Is he holding a whole deck of origami frogs?
Watching the video again it's clear he switched the d eck with what I think is a box shaped like a deck @ 6:16 and the replaecd deck is back at 6:31. You can also see that the place where she cuts the deck all the cards above it move together as if they are one single thing confirming it's a box shaped like a deck.
Nice trick. Loved the real frog reveal. I do, however, think P+T were very generous here. It was very obvious when the switch to the fake deck happened, and they would have known when it happened even if they didn't see it. It does seem that P+T do switch the rules a bit about what constitutes as fooling them, whether it's if they know how the trick was done, or if they saw the moves being done.
They gave it to him because he is high profile and it's a high profile illusion. I'd call it professional courtesy just because he did a twist with the frog. Because they were broken for a few seconds when they saw that frog. They knew 95% of the trick... But he is high profile and genuinely shocked them so yeah I think it was a gift.
It’s an awesome trick but it surprises me the pen and teller didn’t see how it’s made, I kept watching and it seems he did a switch of decks right there
I'm watching this, expecting everything that Penn mentioned, and thinking "this is kinda boring." THEN, the FROG APPEARS. Holy Shit! That was incredible.
Which is more important to enjoy the show or trying to figure out how the trick was done. And of course current technology allows using slow motion. Is it fair play? Just asking.
@@thehistoryoftheworld one aspect of the show is that sometimes they'll miss things because they get so caught up in the trick. Penn has said this before.
Watch at 06:02 how clearly he changed the deck of cards. Card was changed before that frog appeared the card had cavity which holds frog that's why he holded Candice hand to pick the card straight or else that hollow part will be visible to all...and I even think when that girl cut the card the topmost all cards are sticked with each other as when watched closely not a single card moved they kept on same shape.....it's like a case cover in which top part is hollow and down part have real cards
He had his left hand and body away from them for minutes and didn't think something fishy was happening in that triple jiggle as he swapped the deck? xD I love this trick, and how simple that change was.
See ive matured enough to understand that most "magic" is just very good slight of hand skill on another level. But then theres some tricks that i see and just get that feeling of "nah they're actually magic" and that frog gave me that feeling
I mean wow. This plot had more twists and turns than an M. Knight movie but damn was it worth it. What a crazy performance. And the frog at the end really sells that magical effect.
No one saw saw the frog coming, but upon rewatching the trick, it's not hard to spot the deck swap for the hollow deck with the frog inside. I have no idea how the rest of tricks were done though.
I just watched this and caught that right away. I've seen a lot of these and I wasn't super surprised like a lot of the commenters. He turned completely sideways and swapped. Idk. I thought it was a lot of buildup with the wrong punchline.
I went to New York for the only time in 2010. I had huge expectations and I was a bit disappointed by every one of them haha. Times Square was just a tiny block of buildings. Central Park was closed. Statue of Liberty appeared to be small, and was locked up. Everything was smaller than I had expected. I liked the people, very much, I enjoyed it there. And one person and his doll stood out for me more than anything else. It was a black man and his black doll Cindy Hot Chocolate (easily searchable on RUclips). I was on the train going through downtown somewhere and the doll asked me if she could marry me to get a green card. I was the only white person in the carriage, and ironically, probably the only foreigner/tourist! But it was still super funny! That ten minutes were among my most memorable in NYC - asides from the people at the pub who were really hospitable and very good fun.
i have watched a lot of P and T, but i honestly have to say that this real frog part really surprised me aswell. i agree with Penn, i was able to predict that this drawing turns into real person who was hiding behind it all along in that black "bag" and i expected some card magic, but that frog was the WOW factor. i still don't know where it even came from. it was bad camera angle, but it looked like it was literally between the cards, which is impossible, unless there was small area, but then how did she cut the cards? she could have easily exposed it, so i don't think it was container, only other explanation is that it came from the table itself, but she must have seen it?
Why were they surprised by the frog? At 6:18 it's very very obvious that he's exchanging the deck of cards, and he just takes one with the frog inside some cut-out cards.
Notice too that Penn said "we didn't SEE you load the frog" not we don't know how you did it. They know how he did it, but they missed seeing him do the "move" because he did the misdirection very effectively. The act lulled Penn and Teller into a false sense of security where they thought they knew what the whole routine would be ahead of time. So they weren't looking for him to be doing a deck switch there and that's why it fooled them.
So no one's gonna talk about the fact that he gave the woman a free choice and the paper frog still landed on the freely selected the seven of hearts? And the part that amazed me the most was how he swapped the "yack" of diamonds as a paper frog with the seven of hearts as a normal card? Everyone in the comments only seems to be focusing on the hollow deck with the frog in it.
i think what they mentioned about Mike Close was them saying they think they knew how he did that part. The reason being, the magician that came up with that part of the routine was named Mike Close. That's why they were blown away by the live frog appearing. The live frog was new.
Easy... during the “kiss the frog” pitch a deck switch with a cut in the center of the cards and the frog inside. Notice his left hand disappears during that moment.
Yeah, everybody sees the deck switch. But how does he get the woman to pick up the upper part exactly where it needs to be picked up? And if it's all glued together, wouldn't that totally risk to be a complete failure of the whole trick?
@@PureDizzi , I am aware that every move is a risk, but it seems such a high risk to have her pick up a large solid piece and only "controlling" it by grabbing her arm. But then, I don't know anything about magic. If that is really one solid piece his "force" by leading her arm is really amazing to me. Are you certain about the gimmick?
you dont know ? just google that type/breed of frog it's a hybrid frog, one of only 4 in the animal kingdom which can breath both oxygen and carbondioxide plus also can hibernate on nitrogen , as long as its not a vacuum or a poisonous gas inside it wont die... its a fascinating creature...
This is exactly what magic should look like - with a wow effect. Yes, simple card tricks were used. From the beginning, a person hidden behind a canvas was known, but the moment of surprise with the frog was excellent - it could not be predicted. Bravo.
I absolutely love Penn and Tellers face when the real frog popped out!
Thanks for the SPOIL..!!
Thanks for the heads up!
@@antmetalheadx5684 Don't read the comments first my friend.
@@antmetalheadx5684 why were you reading comments before watching???
@@antmetalheadx5684 -- Never read comments before watching the video. Everybody knows this.
@3:32 Teller's anxiety was through the roof!!! 😂😂😂
Teller's expression at 7:02...I think it just tells the entire thing! This was a great trick, absolutely astonishing through and through!
i literally paused the video in that exact moment and laughed like an idiot for 2 minutes xD
I like how Penn turns to Teller and has his jaws dropped, like he's about to say "get the fk outta here..."
Absolutely, when Penn looks over at Teller like, "Did YOU catch when he loaded that?"
Nothing surprised me more than the frog. Totally didn't see that coming. Amazing!
To be honest, I expected him to make a live frog appear during the act. I just have absolutely no f*cking idea how he made it appear during the card cut.
That was the best part of the trick
This is a great example of pacing in magic. The routine crescendos and builds right through to the production of the live frog. Great take on Mike Close's routine. Well done Jorge.
Its funny cause he also mentions Mike Close as well. SO funny .

Well, that was magic as its finest.

Fantastic routine, definitely one of the best ever on the show I’d say
7:01 love the expression.........phenomenal show.....

I have watched hundreds of contestants on Penn and Teller Fool Us, and this performance is the most impressive one I have seen.
The frog is the most amazing surprise I’ve ever seen in a magic trick. It came from nowhere!
The risk he was talking about in the beginning was at 6:30, because he was just hoping the frog wouldn't jump inside the cut-out deck of cards :D
One of my fav tricks this one !
A perfect example of the importance of presentation and misdirection. Because that was done so well, the frog even fooled P&T.
Great job!
Uno de mis trucos favoritos del programa! INCREIBLE!
Fantastic. Absolutely, positively, fantastic.
Astounding.... The frog part was just.... Amazing.
Good job Jorge. Very well done.
The live frog was pretty great I was completely surprised by that
This was one of the best acts on fool us!!!
Stunning
this is one of the best thing i've ever seen in magic
That trick is Great!!! 10\10 for the whole routine
The animals are great, both the Frog and the Yak of diamonds.
Great performance Jorge

Yes, it was not they first time they rewarded a nice trick with the "fool us" award even if it didn't really fool them.
You can hear Penn say that they didn't see him load the frog. That's where the fool happened.
The switch of the deck and loading the frog in was done at 6:00 its pretty obvious too
Tio eres muy grande , a ver cuando vuelves por vigo

6:45 look at the deck of card in 0.25 slow motion it's moving a little bit
Ah yes the magic of slow motion
At 6:58 at .25 speed you can see the bottom card of the pile/solid section she picks up, it doesn’t look hollow?
Which is more important to enjoy the show or trying to figure out how the trick was done. And of course current technology allows using slow motion. Is it fair play? Just asking.
Bravo Jorge!!!!
that shock in their faces!!... (Y) pricesless
3:33 Teller looks like he's at a party waiting for his friend to finish cutting up lines of coke.
5:58 he makes the switch. Watch as he puts the deck in his pocket.
so strange that they gave him an FU... I saw every move on the first watch...

I agree.. Wanna follow Candace
