FAQs! Hi! This video has been getting some renewed attention recently, so I figured I'd answer the top 10 questions that have popped up in the comments more frequently. 1: What's that 'the ring ain't a thing' business? - Penn makes his guess about the workings of a trick in code to protect the secrets. In this case, he was assuming my ring had something to do with finding the coin, which it didn't. 2: How do P&T know contestants are telling the truth? - Contestants are required to reveal the workings of their performance to a behind-the-scenes consultant. When I was on the show, this was the late Johnny Thompson (someone else now does the same job). The consultant watches the guessing process and, in cases where it's on the edge, makes the call on whether or not a trick has fooled Penn & Teller. There's also certain methods that are excluded from being used on the show, like having a confidante in the audience. 3: So it wasn't the ring. How'd you do it then, magic boy? - I'm psychic. 4: Very funny. But seriously, how'd you do it? - Ok, fine. How much do you know about Horcruxes? 5: Fine, don't tell then. Why'd the barstool move? - The barstool was part of a little comedic bit, similar to the awkward animals, which I used to fill the waiting time with Alyson while Penn & Teller were discussing (that part takes much longer than you see on the show). The comedy bit was then edited out, leaving us with a teleporting barstool. 6: Speaking of Alyson - is she a paid actress? - Yes, that's literally her job. But if you're asking whether I paid her, then no. I studied philosophy, so I really don't have that kind of money to spend. 7: What happened after you fooled Penn & Teller? - I got to go back to Las Vegas to perform as a guest in their theatre show. It was fantastic. 8: I liked your show! - Thanks so much! 9: I didn't like your show! - That's also fine! 10: Where do I go after having watched this video? - If you speak German, you could visit my live tour. If you speak German or Dutch, you could read my books "Du Bist Mentalist", "Kennen Wir Uns" and "Mensenkennis Voor Beginners". One of them is also available in Romanian. Otherwise, maybe check out my RUclips Channel (some videos are in English, with the others I do my best to add subtitles when I get the chance) or watch my TEDx Talks. 11: Anything else you'd like to say? - Jurassic Park is literally the best movie franchise of all time and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. Thanks for watching & all the best!
Some people don't realize that sometimes Penn And Teller take a long time (10, 15 minutes) before Penn speaks to the potential Fooler and they edit down to about 30 seconds.
Thomas Baumhauer Die Sendung wird geschnitten, weil Penn und Teller immer etwas mehr Zeit brauchen, sich zu beraten und eine verklausulierte Form finden müssen, ihre Vermutung dem Künstler mitzuteilen. Außerdem werden mehrere Shows an einem Tag hintereinander aufgezeichnet.
In Shawn Farquhar's first time in the show, during the interview he said something like 'Magic is better when it happens in another person's hands', to which Jonathan Ross replied: 'That's what I always tell my wife'.
I tried the strategy where you repeat the trick guessing randomly over and over and keep the one where it works, but Penn guessed my strategy correctly ;-;
Did it start a fool us binge? It should have! Maybe watch some Penn and Teller acts as well, the algorithm gods may have blessed you inadvertently 🤷♂️
I like the way that Penn uses a code to indicate how they think he did it, and his reply of “Dad wouldn’t approve.” indicting he didn’t use that method, keeping the actual method and Penn’s ideas secret.
This is mentalist! They hate this bs unskilled crap! So no ring he has another method (sleeve or various other ones) and just pretended it was the ring! to trick them as that how it was often done! AMAZING HE HAS A COUPLE OF POCKETS WITH PAPER IN IT! 🤦♂️🤣

@@GarrakS no it isn't. You don't know the RUclips watch history of every person watching this video, and if the show is doing a good show they deserve to be acknowledged for it in each comment section. Arrow to the knee has zero relevance that's a random line from a guard in a video game.
@@cameronsmith1229 Thanks Redditoid. I never claimed to know everybodies' watch history but I see the same dumb virtue signaling drivel on almost every video. They don't need opinions like yours on their video so you can feel validated to know that giving people the rights to their own content is the right thing to do. P&T have always been class acts.
He knew they'd think it was the ring. He planned for his introduction before the show to show him doing a ring trick. His included the reference to Allyson's marriage to cement it in their minds. His response to quickly when he said it was the ring was as if he was thinking "Aha! i knew that's what you'd think!"
What I love about this is that if he isn't using his ring to find the coin then he's instead using it to mislead P&T; which is a fantastic bit of misdirection. Mentalists are always my favourite magicians as it's not just misdirection and extremely well practiced hand movements. The best ones are taking some risk with things going a bit wrong as they're relying on their ability to predict what people will do/think. Ok yeah the mentalist tries to control as much as they can but there is always that risk of not quite reading a person correctly. It's fun to watch.
Actually I think the cleverest part of the trick might be the wearing of the ring and touching her hands before each guess all as a red herring.. KNOWING it would throw off Penn and Teller and he'd win.
Exactly! I knew of that trick before so watching it I felt so proud for noticing it the first two times, and on the third time I saw he didn't do it and was like wait no that's not right, just for it to cut to Penn and Teller seemingly doing the same thing lol
I think there might be a couple of ways something like this can be performed and Timon, very cleverly, made sure to "show off" the ring during the beginning of his performance, even hitting it with the coin to make it "ding" so Penn and Teller would 100% take that ring into consideration... The trick would always work 100% but the real "mentalism" was applied to Penn and Teller so they'd choose the Coin as the plausible answer instead of an alternative. Great work!
@@blusafe1 you didn't understand what OP meant - they're saying he tricked Penn and Teller into focusing on the ring so they would guess that's how it's done and therefore he would win since it was wrong.
@@nicholasjh1 Was the premise of that tell to be that if she said, "getting milked", then she was more agreeable and willing to be "wrong" or embarrassed?
@@furtim1 I'm sure that was part of it, but you can also program people to certain actions by doing something like that based on which side was milked first etc. People do that kind of thing all the time but unless you know to look for it out doesn't normally get tracked.
@@nicholasjh1 lmao you guys are funny, it's just a trick, no there's no actual "psychological" stuff involved, it's literally just a trick, and a very classical one actually, he just performs it so well that Penn & Teller didn't even notice he was using a very old and classic method.
@@deadvirgin428 Agreed - since Derren brown said he used 'Psychology and suggestion' and the whole NLP thing, I always read comments in mentalism videos of people saying things like 'Did you see how he said left and moved his left eyebrow higher?' - It's cool that people think this stuff could work - and it could about 1 in 10 times - but not for a pro working tables every night, imagine!
T: Do you like milking more, or being milked? A: I like milking more. T: Does your husband know that? A: That's why he married me! See, this one time at band camp...
I know Timon from doing his "magic" in german shows, he's a phenomenon. More often than not he isn't this confident. Either he had a multi layered success confirmation setup or just acting to cover up. My guess is the first. With more difficult tricks or persons to read he gets a bit more nervous but somehow still nails it so many times. It's really entertaining to watch, i loved every single trick i've seen so far. Keep up the good work!
@user-yb2jm6du8m If he messed up , or it looked wrong, he had an out to cover for it. Even if he failed, he had a way to pull something out of his sleeve that made it look like that was a joke ending and he would come out on top.
@@AR-ey1ur I am assuming he means the paper reveal. In his left pocket his paper says LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT. In the right pocket it says LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, etc. So he just grabs the correct paper. He doesn't have to be right from the start if he has many options covered. But I don't know how that would make him more confident. I assume he does that everytime, unless he doesn't and he was extra prepared for TV.
A person holding out two hands and holding an object in one will typically grip tighter with the hand holding something. Timon looks at Alyson's hands each time. A subtle difference if you're not paying attention but not as subtle to a keen observer. The attempts to influence (ala The Princess Bride) may not be attempts at all, but misdirection entirely.
My friend, as a 40 something magic fan, you are the very first "mentalist" that I actually like. Your setup was great, your execution even better. Thank you for this amazing illusion.
ATTENTION!!! Hell is real... Is your heart right with God? We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus Christ loves you and He died for our sins. If you will REPENT of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and believe in the gospel, you will be saved and your name will be written into the Book of Life. Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire... "Salvation Prayer" Dear Heavenly Father, I come to you, to confess that I am a sinner. I have done some things in my life that I am not proud of and I repent of my sins. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins and that He arose from the grave and that He is alive today. I ask that you forgive me of my sins. I will follow and believe in the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ and I proclaim that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. AMEN.
One of my favorite but also frustrating parts of Penn and Teller is the cryptic hints and speaking in riddles they give to indicate that they think they know how, lol
Das witzige ist, dass er Allison zwar nicht manipuliert, Penn und Teller aber sehr wohl. Durch seine Handbewegung und den Ring suggeriert er ihnen ziemlich offensiv, dass der Ring etwas damit zu tun hat, sodass sie blind für den eigentlichen Trick bleiben. Und das ist nicht nur Mentalism us sondern das Wesen der Magie selbst.
I have gone to see some of those mentalists do their show. Clearly I could see how some of them could start a cult or something like that . Glad to see Penn and Teller state they do not like it when the mentalist makes out like they are doing something supernatural
Penn & Teller were right at the "covered for all endings" part at least. The paper was rigged to open in different ways. And he would have to demonstrate, that the ring and coin are not magnetic or any thing of that sort.
@@Max-eh3gj If my maths is correct, all possible outcomes would have been 16 - not completely undoable, but keeping in mind where you hid each and every specific one could be a little challenging :)
@@pitecusH the multiple card outcomes is not challenging. if the first is left, keep it in the left pockets. if the second is left, keep it in the upper pockets. if the third is left, keep it in the inner suit pockets. then the fourth he would have to influence and do his magic, but he can just remember to put two papers in that pocket with one being left and right, one inside and one outside.
@@pitecusH it's 8 really, because he took the paper out before the last coin reveal, but he still had to have a way of correctly guessing that last one.
My guess : 1) he can tell by looking at the closed hand which one it's in. I'd imagine this would be what P&T are guessing about as there would be alot of potential ways to do that -- magnets, muscle movements, something else? 2) he has 8 papers hidden in various pockets for the first 3 rounds. 3) each paper can open two ways for the last one.
That is how i guessed he did it. The coin is huge and if she held it tight like a normal person would it would be obvious to see up close the different hand size
I think people are over analyzing the hell out of this. It's just simple logic and reasoning skills. Potentially with a small amount of deception. That's it. I too predicted which hands she would have the coin in because it's simple once you understand how people think. It starts with the game name, "You don't have a choice." Instinctively, your reaction will be that you do, so already you've been primed to resist whatever is coming. The next set up is placing the coin in the right hand. Because he placed it in the right hand, and she wants to prove she has a choice, she swaps the coin into the left hand. He then takes the coin and places it back into her right hand. That's important, because she's still fighting against the idea that she doesn't have a choice. (I wasn't gonna break this next part all down but it'll help with the rest so...) Her instinct/subconscious desire to fight against the idea that she has no choice would tell her to put the coin in the left hand again. But since he already guessed the left hand, he's likely to pick it again. Thus, his statement about the statistic, that women place it in the same hand again. That reassures her belief that he's going to pick the same hand. But what if he's tricking her? And then the statement, "I'm not trying to influence you right now." comes into play. Whether or not she believes him is irrelevant. It reinforces her decision to place it into the right hand, whether she realizes it or not, on top of it already being likely he'd choose the left. Everything that's happened and been said has convinced her to put it into the right hand, and so she does. When he explains it, he's not lying. She tried to think 2 steps ahead, but wound up back in square 1. Things are simple from there. "The exact same thing" is just insurance to make sure she does it. She tried to outsmart him, by not switching the hand, but again he knows this behavior, the resistance. Last round. This is the only time lying/deception comes into play. He gets out the paper, showing the predictions. But as the other guy said, "the end could've played out differently and you were covered for all of those." That is to say, he had pieces of paper for every set of outcomes but since he doesn't fully know which set will be correct he can't give the judges the paper in advance until he has the right information. Because she picked right twice, she assumes that he'd think she was going to change hands at the end. So she keeps it in the right hand. Telling her it was "the last round" was, again, just to ensure she did it. But what if she did put it in the left hand? Unlikely. However, it definitely was possible. The true beauty of his perfomance was his confidence in his own abilities, because he chose to reveal the paper before making the final prediction, rather than waiting to see if he was correct. It sells the trick. If you don't understand the significance of the paper(s). Anyone can be correct in hindsight. If he by some chance got every single one of them incorrect, he chooses the paper with the exact outcomes that she chose. Boom. "I actually did get all of them right, and I wrote it down here." As for the Cow Test... I'm not 100% sure on what that was about, I don't think it was necessary (it wasn't for me at least) but I think it's as he said. To get to know her a little. If I had to guess, it's purpose would be to determine if she has a dominant or submissive personality. milked (submissive) or milker (dominant). that would let him know if she's the type to give in to suggestion or the type to try to resist it. she chose milker (dominant/resistant) which would tell him that she's going to try to resist his suggestions. but again, that all slipped by me, so idk for sure. It's not so much a trick as it is understanding how people behave and react to things.
@@R.E.E.D. I understand what you’re saying, and mostly agree with what you said. However, no magician is going onto this show with anything but a completely fail-proof act. If there’s even the remote possibility that the participants can mess up the act, that isn’t how it’s done.
My guess is that a stage hand with a magnifying sight is looking at Alyson and what hand she places the coin in and signals Timon electronically. He may receive a buzz or electrical sting etc, one or two times, two being right etc.
That was so incredibly impressive. I don't think anyone can do what he just did there. I mean it's one thing to read minds, but to get Alyson Hannigan to say *that* on American National television for a show that is watched worldwide, he really had to have gotten into her head.
Either smartwatch or RFID in hand with proximity sensor that vibrates/signals some other way when it is close to the coin. About the ending - He basically had 8 double-sided cards inside his pocket with all possible outcome of first 3 rounds + 2 variants for final round. He chooses appropriate, "scans" the hands of an assistant and opens the right side of the card.
I think the cow thing was definitely part of the trick. Getting to know her tells, which hand was dominant, and making her more comfortable with touch, maybe? Definitely got some sort of info out of it, aside from the thing to do with her husband lol
I think it 100% must be based on communication of some type, from the coin to the human. Otherwise he wouldn't need to bring a special coin he could ask for one from Teller.
Ein linken und einen rechten Daumen hoch für die gelungene Einleitung. Mein Vater hatte eine besondere Münze als Glücksbringer. Ich denke ihm würde der Trick auch gefallen.
Allison is literally Michelle Flaherty. She embodies that character. You all thought she was just really good at ACTING awkward, but realistically, she just IS that awkward. She is amazing for that. She is still beautiful to this day; she is ageless.
Could be a subdermal magnet which lets you "sense" magnetic objects. Definitely one paper for each combination + sleight of hand (probably storing different papers in different locations)
I wonder if the size of the coin causes anyone's fist to be obvious when it's holding the coin, making it easy for a trained person to spot which hand is holding it. Would the trick still work if the coin was the size of a dime?
Good question, but whether or not he could tell due to the size of the coin is irrelevant, because the real trick was him having a paper predicting the pattern. And I have no clue how tf he did it, what a great mentalist performance
@@patches4170 well Penn actually says how he did that bit, it's his first sentence "covered for all endings". He had a specially prepared paper or a few of those cleverly made to be able to be unfolded in different ways to alter what the front size says. The actual trick is how he made it actually work each round. It might've been just propability based guessing, like a real mentalist does, but I don't think you would risk that for a tv show. There is magic envolved here but I cannot spot it.
@@patrickwehrstein8693 I'm really not smart, I read the first guys comment and thought"Yeah! I agree" But then I read the second guy and thought "Oh yeah, I meant that I agree with". Just when you think you're average, life reminds you you're not.
I wonder if the 'milking the cow' thing is a test to make sure the subject's hands are small enough/not double-jointed or something, to be able to pull it off more successfully :P
@@patrickwehrstein8693 I think it's a combination of probability and seeing which hand holds the large coin. He uses the first three rounds -- when he looks at her hands before "guessing" which one holds the coin -- to evaluate her response to his influencing triggers. Thus he has a pretty good idea what she will do in the last round and takes out that specific prediction before looking at her.
Notice Timon doesn’t choose straight away, but talks about the hands in a way that Alyson would give away tells. I agree with Penn who says he’s sure Timon wasn’t influencing Alyson.
@@xcalibur4376 There are 16 possible combinations of left and right. If he kept all papers with left as the first choice in his left pocket, then he would have to sort through eight different papers in that pocket. If he also had inner pockets he could reduce that to four pieces. Since it is fairly easy to make a sorted system he wouldn't have to do too much to find the right paper.
This is crazy I've never looked this show up on RUclips and like an hour ago I watched this show for the first time ever on television and now I got on RUclips and this show just pops up while I'm scrolling through videos
WTF. I hadn't thought of Alyson Hannigan in years... she came into my head about 30 minutes ago when I was walking down the street. Came home and this was on my suggested for you page.
2:25 This is the first act and already hes influencing her.. Wow this is going to be a treat He basically started influencing all of her decisions from the very start of their interaction.. Im probably late too, it mightve started earlier.. Thats impressive
I think he treats ever turn completely different and has a way for each one. I think the third turn, he replaced the coin with a similar one but maybe one that was slightly bigger or smaller.
@@tomghzellol he was only in his early 20s in this video…he looks young because he still is young, he’s 28 now…your comment makes it sound like he’s 40…Alyson is her 40s.
The premise of the trick is that he always has her bring her arms out before he guesses, and looks at her hands. I’m guessing there is a tell in the way she holds the coin in one hand, which he would have seen when he placed the coin the first time. If he tried guessing when her hands were behind her back, it wouldn’t work.
The coin is pretty big for her hands. I think that's intentional. The milking was so he could gauge the size of her palms and choose the right coin to use which would just slightly cause her hand to bulge and give it away but not so obviously for those also watching.
@@robertrouthier2603 A event mentalist did this too me using a big dice. But he didn't realise what big hand I have and the instinct to hold them both exactly the same. He couldn't guess properly LOL so quickly (and very well I might say) made a joke of it and moved onto the next phase.
I have a suspicion over one product that I own which was created by Henry. Last name omitted because I want it somewhat selfishly to stay a secret. A great young magician that makes the most practical magic with objects that blend in so well. There is one routine that can achieve the same effect without a ring. It does involve a tiny object that can be hidden in your palm in plain sight. I am not sure if that is what you used but regardless, well done. I understood all the code but was still stumped like Penn and Teller.
Hey, good job. That was nice to see you milking Willow for coins and stuff. Where can I find the full version of the episode? I'd like so see the continuation where you fooled Penn and Teller? I'm not familiar with the show so I don't even know where to look for it.
So the way I undrstood it from reading another comment is, the two gentlemen sitting are magicians themselves, and if they understand how a certain magic trick works, it does not count as "fooled". However if they think they know how it works, they would not explain what they think the trick was, because that could ruin the magic for the audience. So apparently he suspects Timon might be wearing magnetic rings that tell him where the coin is, and he decided to cover that theory with the weird dad's ring story. But Timon, using his analogy, refutes that claim, he did not use his ring to detect the coin. So they don't know how he did it, so he fooled them.
Ok, so let's assume some things: 1) he can tell which hand the coin is in when he looks at how they're holding them, and 2) he has different papers in different pockets based on what they chose during the first three times. He pulls out the LEFT RIGHT RIGHT paper before she chose the final hand. So he either knew she would choose RIGHT or that paper can have either RIGHT or LEFT on it in the #4 spot based on what he sees in her hand. Is there a way to manipulate the paper when he's opening it so that #4 will be RIGHT (when he sees it's in her right hand)? Look at the way the words are written. My guess is that's part of the trick.
Multiple reading methods: - Reactions from her and the crowd after suggesting his choice -Thumb placement (after seeing natural grip on Cow test) -Last one he may be cueing the participant by obviously displaying the paper and leaving the person free to choose whether he will fail or not. If the person has agreeable personality he goes with his cue, otherwise he changes it.
It has nothing to do with 'reading', it's normal magic tricks. Magicians routinely rely on lying and misdirection, "mentalism" is just one of those, and he only even seems to take a joking tone about his supposed mentalism anyway. As with yourself, people want to believe in mentalism, so they try to find the supposed mental trickery, and are distracted from trying to find the actual trick. The paper is the most basic aspect, he already knows which hand it's in before he opens the paper... simply selecting the matching piece of paper, or folding it the right way which will allow him to show the matching choices. Penn even said that they know he can't read minds and he didn't influence her, which he was completely unbothered about, and likewise only said that the ring wasn't what was being used(or at least not in the way they meant) - ie: he used a different trick. The show is literally about fooling Penn & Teller, anyone genuinely claiming to be a mentalist would have been more likely to have been a topic on their 'Penn & Teller: Bullshit! ' show.
if you pause at around 5:15 you can see the difference between Alyson's hands. Her bottom knuckles on her left hand and inward while on her right hand they are sticking out, indicating that the oversized coin is in the right hand.
I guess the code here is: "We think the coin in some way is magnetized or you are wearing a magnetic ring which helps you find the coin in allisons hand" and it certainly looks like that by the way that he's waving his left hand (with the ring) above allison's [hand] to check. What I think actually happened: The one thing we're not allowed to see much of, is the coin. The ring is the mis-direct for P&T, the coin itself which is slightly larger than average. In a magician's hands the coin is held 'naturally', but if it's brand new to you, it's easy to drop, so you adjust to holding it. As for the paper? I'd wager he had 16 sheets of paper folded up in his pocket.

FAQs!
Hi! This video has been getting some renewed attention recently, so I figured I'd answer the top 10 questions that have popped up in the comments more frequently.
1: What's that 'the ring ain't a thing' business?
- Penn makes his guess about the workings of a trick in code to protect the secrets. In this case, he was assuming my ring had something to do with finding the coin, which it didn't.
2: How do P&T know contestants are telling the truth?
- Contestants are required to reveal the workings of their performance to a behind-the-scenes consultant. When I was on the show, this was the late Johnny Thompson (someone else now does the same job). The consultant watches the guessing process and, in cases where it's on the edge, makes the call on whether or not a trick has fooled Penn & Teller.
There's also certain methods that are excluded from being used on the show, like having a confidante in the audience.
3: So it wasn't the ring. How'd you do it then, magic boy?
- I'm psychic.
4: Very funny. But seriously, how'd you do it?
- Ok, fine. How much do you know about Horcruxes?
5: Fine, don't tell then. Why'd the barstool move?
- The barstool was part of a little comedic bit, similar to the awkward animals, which I used to fill the waiting time with Alyson while Penn & Teller were discussing (that part takes much longer than you see on the show). The comedy bit was then edited out, leaving us with a teleporting barstool.
6: Speaking of Alyson - is she a paid actress?
- Yes, that's literally her job. But if you're asking whether I paid her, then no. I studied philosophy, so I really don't have that kind of money to spend.
7: What happened after you fooled Penn & Teller?
- I got to go back to Las Vegas to perform as a guest in their theatre show. It was fantastic.
8: I liked your show!
- Thanks so much!
9: I didn't like your show!
- That's also fine!
10: Where do I go after having watched this video?
- If you speak German, you could visit my live tour. If you speak German or Dutch, you could read my books "Du Bist Mentalist", "Kennen Wir Uns" and "Mensenkennis Voor Beginners". One of them is also available in Romanian. Otherwise, maybe check out my RUclips Channel (some videos are in English, with the others I do my best to add subtitles when I get the chance) or watch my TEDx Talks.
11: Anything else you'd like to say?
- Jurassic Park is literally the best movie franchise of all time and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.
Thanks for watching & all the best!
i would like you to keep editing this comment when more interesting question comes....thank you XD
question 12 for your top 10's 11 question, bless u
Romanian? How did you discover that as a target market?
I will just quote Jeff Goldblum´s line from The Jurassic Park: "You did it. The crazy son of a bitch, you did it"
That was a nice roll!
The link in the post script was the best thing that happened in my life, it has really helped me jump start my career as a mentalist thanks!

He knew they'd think it was the ring. He planned for his introduction before the show to show him doing a ring trick. His included the reference to Allyson's marriage to cement it in their minds. His response to quickly when he said it was the ring was as if he was thinking "Aha! i knew that's what you'd think!"

What I love about this is that if he isn't using his ring to find the coin then he's instead using it to mislead P&T; which is a fantastic bit of misdirection. Mentalists are always my favourite magicians as it's not just misdirection and extremely well practiced hand movements. The best ones are taking some risk with things going a bit wrong as they're relying on their ability to predict what people will do/think. Ok yeah the mentalist tries to control as much as they can but there is always that risk of not quite reading a person correctly.
It's fun to watch.
Best way to win on FU is to make it so there are different ways it LOOKS like you did the trick. P&T can only guess one of those or other ways.
The host, I want to make love with her
There must be a "B" plan if the person is low sensitive.
Actually I think the cleverest part of the trick might be the wearing of the ring and touching her hands before each guess all as a red herring.. KNOWING it would throw off Penn and Teller and he'd win.
Exactly! I knew of that trick before so watching it I felt so proud for noticing it the first two times, and on the third time I saw he didn't do it and was like wait no that's not right, just for it to cut to Penn and Teller seemingly doing the same thing lol
But the thing is, he told the hand before touching and even wrote it down on a paper in the end before doing anything near Alyson

What really woulda sent em in a tizzy is if he had Alyson read the coin aloud and it had "It's not the ring" engraved in it.
I think there might be a couple of ways something like this can be performed and Timon, very cleverly, made sure to "show off" the ring during the beginning of his performance, even hitting it with the coin to make it "ding" so Penn and Teller would 100% take that ring into consideration... The trick would always work 100% but the real "mentalism" was applied to Penn and Teller so they'd choose the Coin as the plausible answer instead of an alternative. Great work!
He states the ring had nothing to do with the act.
@@blusafe1 it had nothing to do with knowing where the coin was, it was still important to the act.
@@blusafe1 you didn't understand what OP meant - they're saying he tricked Penn and Teller into focusing on the ring so they would guess that's how it's done and therefore he would win since it was wrong.

Star system?
I know Timon from doing his "magic" in german shows, he's a phenomenon. More often than not he isn't this confident. Either he had a multi layered success confirmation setup or just acting to cover up. My guess is the first. With more difficult tricks or persons to read he gets a bit more nervous but somehow still nails it so many times. It's really entertaining to watch, i loved every single trick i've seen so far. Keep up the good work!
Maybe he is more confident speaking English than German?
Tf is a multi layerd success confirmation setup?
@user-yb2jm6du8m If he messed up , or it looked wrong, he had an out to cover for it. Even if he failed, he had a way to pull something out of his sleeve that made it look like that was a joke ending and he would come out on top.
@@AR-ey1ur I am assuming he means the paper reveal. In his left pocket his paper says LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT. In the right pocket it says LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, etc. So he just grabs the correct paper. He doesn't have to be right from the start if he has many options covered.
But I don't know how that would make him more confident. I assume he does that everytime, unless he doesn't and he was extra prepared for TV.
A person holding out two hands and holding an object in one will typically grip tighter with the hand holding something. Timon looks at Alyson's hands each time. A subtle difference if you're not paying attention but not as subtle to a keen observer. The attempts to influence (ala The Princess Bride) may not be attempts at all, but misdirection entirely.
I really enjoyed this piece, it evokes a lot of emotion and yet, tranquility. Thank you

Das witzige ist, dass er Allison zwar nicht manipuliert, Penn und Teller aber sehr wohl.

Penn & Teller were right at the "covered for all endings" part at least. The paper was rigged to open in different ways. And he would have to demonstrate, that the ring and coin are not magnetic or any thing of that sort.
Or there could have been lots of pieces of papers in different pockets - other then that I’m stumped
@@Max-eh3gj If my maths is correct, all possible outcomes would have been 16 - not completely undoable, but keeping in mind where you hid each and every specific one could be a little challenging :)
@@pitecusH the multiple card outcomes is not challenging. if the first is left, keep it in the left pockets. if the second is left, keep it in the upper pockets. if the third is left, keep it in the inner suit pockets. then the fourth he would have to influence and do his magic, but he can just remember to put two papers in that pocket with one being left and right, one inside and one outside.
@@pitecusH it's 8 really, because he took the paper out before the last coin reveal, but he still had to have a way of correctly guessing that last one.
And if he gets the guesses wrong at any step, he can produce the paper and take credit.
My guess :
1) he can tell by looking at the closed hand which one it's in. I'd imagine this would be what P&T are guessing about as there would be alot of potential ways to do that -- magnets, muscle movements, something else?
2) he has 8 papers hidden in various pockets for the first 3 rounds.
3) each paper can open two ways for the last one.
They didn't care about them paper
That is how i guessed he did it. The coin is huge and if she held it tight like a normal person would it would be obvious to see up close the different hand size
I think people are over analyzing the hell out of this. It's just simple logic and reasoning skills. Potentially with a small amount of deception. That's it.
I too predicted which hands she would have the coin in because it's simple once you understand how people think. It starts with the game name, "You don't have a choice." Instinctively, your reaction will be that you do, so already you've been primed to resist whatever is coming.
The next set up is placing the coin in the right hand. Because he placed it in the right hand, and she wants to prove she has a choice, she swaps the coin into the left hand.
He then takes the coin and places it back into her right hand. That's important, because she's still fighting against the idea that she doesn't have a choice. (I wasn't gonna break this next part all down but it'll help with the rest so...)
Her instinct/subconscious desire to fight against the idea that she has no choice would tell her to put the coin in the left hand again. But since he already guessed the left hand, he's likely to pick it again. Thus, his statement about the statistic, that women place it in the same hand again. That reassures her belief that he's going to pick the same hand. But what if he's tricking her?
And then the statement, "I'm not trying to influence you right now." comes into play. Whether or not she believes him is irrelevant. It reinforces her decision to place it into the right hand, whether she realizes it or not, on top of it already being likely he'd choose the left. Everything that's happened and been said has convinced her to put it into the right hand, and so she does. When he explains it, he's not lying. She tried to think 2 steps ahead, but wound up back in square 1.
Things are simple from there.
"The exact same thing" is just insurance to make sure she does it. She tried to outsmart him, by not switching the hand, but again he knows this behavior, the resistance.
Last round. This is the only time lying/deception comes into play.
He gets out the paper, showing the predictions. But as the other guy said, "the end could've played out differently and you were covered for all of those." That is to say, he had pieces of paper for every set of outcomes but since he doesn't fully know which set will be correct he can't give the judges the paper in advance until he has the right information.
Because she picked right twice, she assumes that he'd think she was going to change hands at the end. So she keeps it in the right hand. Telling her it was "the last round" was, again, just to ensure she did it.
But what if she did put it in the left hand? Unlikely. However, it definitely was possible. The true beauty of his perfomance was his confidence in his own abilities, because he chose to reveal the paper before making the final prediction, rather than waiting to see if he was correct. It sells the trick.
If you don't understand the significance of the paper(s). Anyone can be correct in hindsight. If he by some chance got every single one of them incorrect, he chooses the paper with the exact outcomes that she chose. Boom. "I actually did get all of them right, and I wrote it down here."
As for the Cow Test... I'm not 100% sure on what that was about, I don't think it was necessary (it wasn't for me at least) but I think it's as he said. To get to know her a little. If I had to guess, it's purpose would be to determine if she has a dominant or submissive personality.
milked (submissive) or milker (dominant). that would let him know if she's the type to give in to suggestion or the type to try to resist it. she chose milker (dominant/resistant) which would tell him that she's going to try to resist his suggestions. but again, that all slipped by me, so idk for sure.
It's not so much a trick as it is understanding how people behave and react to things.
Or he’s influencing her subconscious via induction. Yeah that’s much more likely.
@@R.E.E.D. I understand what you’re saying, and mostly agree with what you said. However, no magician is going onto this show with anything but a completely fail-proof act. If there’s even the remote possibility that the participants can mess up the act, that isn’t how it’s done.
My guess is that a stage hand with a magnifying sight is looking at Alyson and what hand she places the coin in and signals Timon electronically. He may receive a buzz or electrical sting etc, one or two times, two being right etc.
That was so incredibly impressive. I don't think anyone can do what he just did there. I mean it's one thing to read minds, but to get Alyson Hannigan to say *that* on American National television for a show that is watched worldwide, he really had to have gotten into her head.
Haaaaaave you watched American Pie?
@@JTProductions3 Well yeah, this one time at band camp.
"So Alyson, did you enjoyed, being milked by me?" Damn, what a question on tv, since she could be his mother.

@@scribe570 Except it was onstage, during a performance.
Either smartwatch or RFID in hand with proximity sensor that vibrates/signals some other way when it is close to the coin. About the ending - He basically had 8 double-sided cards inside his pocket with all possible outcome of first 3 rounds + 2 variants for final round. He chooses appropriate, "scans" the hands of an assistant and opens the right side of the card.
no tech involved
"timoooone krauß" lol
the size of the coin, 8 papers with double outcomes. simple and clever.
He has a sensor that vibrates and let's you know in which hand a person has hidden the magnetic coin.
I think the cow thing was definitely part of the trick. Getting to know her tells, which hand was dominant, and making her more comfortable with touch, maybe? Definitely got some sort of info out of it, aside from the thing to do with her husband lol
I think it 100% must be based on communication of some type, from the coin to the human. Otherwise he wouldn't need to bring a special coin he could ask for one from Teller.
The way you lace your fingers naturally is an indicator of which hand is dominant
I would assume it’s to transfer some sort of substance to her hands that helps determine which hand she has the coin in.
Probably also gives a reading as to her general level of compliance
@@LegendLength Yes, it's a radioactive coin and he wear dosimetric lenses :D

Underrated comment
I wonder if the size of the coin causes anyone's fist to be obvious when it's holding the coin, making it easy for a trained person to spot which hand is holding it. Would the trick still work if the coin was the size of a dime?
Good question, but whether or not he could tell due to the size of the coin is irrelevant, because the real trick was him having a paper predicting the pattern. And I have no clue how tf he did it, what a great mentalist performance
@@patches4170 well Penn actually says how he did that bit, it's his first sentence "covered for all endings". He had a specially prepared paper or a few of those cleverly made to be able to be unfolded in different ways to alter what the front size says. The actual trick is how he made it actually work each round. It might've been just propability based guessing, like a real mentalist does, but I don't think you would risk that for a tv show. There is magic envolved here but I cannot spot it.
@@patrickwehrstein8693 I'm really not smart, I read the first guys comment and thought"Yeah! I agree" But then I read the second guy and thought "Oh yeah, I meant that I agree with". Just when you think you're average, life reminds you you're not.
I wonder if the 'milking the cow' thing is a test to make sure the subject's hands are small enough/not double-jointed or something, to be able to pull it off more successfully :P
@@patrickwehrstein8693 I think it's a combination of probability and seeing which hand holds the large coin. He uses the first three rounds -- when he looks at her hands before "guessing" which one holds the coin -- to evaluate her response to his influencing triggers. Thus he has a pretty good idea what she will do in the last round and takes out that specific prediction before looking at her.
Reminds me of that scene in The Princess Bride when they have the battle of wits drinking the poison
Love how the most watched part is the stool moving
Notice Timon doesn’t choose straight away, but talks about the hands in a way that Alyson would give away tells. I agree with Penn who says he’s sure Timon wasn’t influencing Alyson.
But what about the paper in which he wrote down all those predictions beforehand??
@@xcalibur4376 The paper is rigged to open in multiple ways.

@@xcalibur4376 There are 16 possible combinations of left and right.

No influence took part in this trick :)
I think he treats ever turn completely different and has a way for each one. I think the third turn, he replaced the coin with a similar one but maybe one that was slightly bigger or smaller.

@@tomghzellol he was only in his early 20s in this video…he looks young because he still is young, he’s 28 now…your comment makes it sound like he’s 40…Alyson is her 40s.
The premise of the trick is that he always has her bring her arms out before he guesses, and looks at her hands. I’m guessing there is a tell in the way she holds the coin in one hand, which he would have seen when he placed the coin the first time. If he tried guessing when her hands were behind her back, it wouldn’t work.
The coin is pretty big for her hands. I think that's intentional. The milking was so he could gauge the size of her palms and choose the right coin to use which would just slightly cause her hand to bulge and give it away but not so obviously for those also watching.

There is one routine that can achieve the same effect without a ring. It does involve a tiny object that can be hidden in your palm in plain sight. I am not sure if that is what you used but regardless, well done. I understood all the code but was still stumped like Penn and Teller.
Brilliant. Thank you Timon.
Hey, good job. That was nice to see you milking Willow for coins and stuff.
Where can I find the full version of the episode? I'd like so see the continuation where you fooled Penn and Teller? I'm not familiar with the show so I don't even know where to look for it.
What is even willow 😅
@@zer0legend109 Her best and most famous role.
@@zer0legend109 what is even google
There's no continuation. The show is several bits with different magicians. He doesnt return or follows up
can someone explain the end to me pls? i dont know the show. how did he fool them? what all that about the ring and the father?
So the way I undrstood it from reading another comment is, the two gentlemen sitting are magicians themselves, and if they understand how a certain magic trick works, it does not count as "fooled". However if they think they know how it works, they would not explain what they think the trick was, because that could ruin the magic for the audience. So apparently he suspects Timon might be wearing magnetic rings that tell him where the coin is, and he decided to cover that theory with the weird dad's ring story. But Timon, using his analogy, refutes that claim, he did not use his ring to detect the coin. So they don't know how he did it, so he fooled them.
@@chandir7752 ah thanks man.
Very cool. I'm pretty sure I could tell how you influenced the 4th time, but the rest I don't have a clue. Very good!!!!!
Ok, so let's assume some things: 1) he can tell which hand the coin is in when he looks at how they're holding them, and 2) he has different papers in different pockets based on what they chose during the first three times. He pulls out the LEFT RIGHT RIGHT paper before she chose the final hand. So he either knew she would choose RIGHT or that paper can have either RIGHT or LEFT on it in the #4 spot based on what he sees in her hand. Is there a way to manipulate the paper when he's opening it so that #4 will be RIGHT (when he sees it's in her right hand)? Look at the way the words are written. My guess is that's part of the trick.
1:38: my name is Timon and I'm amsterdams most awkward animal.
Oh sooo good
Wieso sagst du das nur du frecher Bumsdings?
Multiple reading methods:
- Reactions from her and the crowd after suggesting his choice
-Thumb placement (after seeing natural grip on Cow test)
-Last one he may be cueing the participant by obviously displaying the paper and leaving the person free to choose whether he will fail or not. If the person has agreeable personality he goes with his cue, otherwise he changes it.
It has nothing to do with 'reading', it's normal magic tricks. Magicians routinely rely on lying and misdirection, "mentalism" is just one of those, and he only even seems to take a joking tone about his supposed mentalism anyway.
As with yourself, people want to believe in mentalism, so they try to find the supposed mental trickery, and are distracted from trying to find the actual trick.
The paper is the most basic aspect, he already knows which hand it's in before he opens the paper... simply selecting the matching piece of paper, or folding it the right way which will allow him to show the matching choices.
Penn even said that they know he can't read minds and he didn't influence her, which he was completely unbothered about, and likewise only said that the ring wasn't what was being used(or at least not in the way they meant) - ie: he used a different trick.
The show is literally about fooling Penn & Teller, anyone genuinely claiming to be a mentalist would have been more likely to have been a topic on their 'Penn & Teller: Bullshit! ' show.
the smartest thing is, you answer the code with a code like it is a real story XD
if you pause at around 5:15 you can see the difference between Alyson's hands. Her bottom knuckles on her left hand and inward while on her right hand they are sticking out, indicating that the oversized coin is in the right hand.
krasses video mann!!!
I was able to guess all 4 just by looking at how tightly clenched her fist was . He was able to manipulate the forecasts wonderfully well however !
@@jaromirbergmann9995 I believe that is forbidden by the show rules
@Jaromir Bergmann I assume you haven’t seen the show before
i miss this video and i havent finished watching it yet
Timon, did you share how you did it with Penn and Teller after the show? Great performance.
I guess the code here is:
"We think the coin in some way is magnetized or you are wearing a magnetic ring which helps you find the coin in allisons hand" and it certainly looks like that by the way that he's waving his left hand (with the ring) above allison's [hand] to check.
What I think actually happened:
The one thing we're not allowed to see much of, is the coin. The ring is the mis-direct for P&T, the coin itself which is slightly larger than average. In a magician's hands the coin is held 'naturally', but if it's brand new to you, it's easy to drop, so you adjust to holding it.
As for the paper?
I'd wager he had 16 sheets of paper folded up in his pocket.
But he guessed before she revealed her hands tho
He had already written the answers down before the show. How could he have known if it's about the way she is holding the coin?
@@Nloveru there were different papers with different answers
paper is brought out before hands are shown so I guess the paper can be unfold to show either left or right on the last one
The host of this show definitely knows something about making things disappear. She magically made a flute disappear at band camp lol
That was only one time!
A skin flute?
Cracked me up. So silly. 😂
Timon, if you don't mind my asking, who are your favorite mentalists (classic or contemporary)
Let me in
I wanna be closer to you
Open up your soul
Let me find that part of you
A part that nobody ever knew

So how many of you made the same choices as her? I did and it feels magic
imagine playing rock paper scissors against this guy
no game no life
He would stand no chance against my always rock tactics.
80% of the poeple play scissor first - try it out ! Then scissor again and as 3rd rock / so winning tactics is ROCK, ROCK, PAPER

Wow, fantastic 😊 I enjoyed

I dont wanna play rock paper scissors against this guy
Give it a try Let us know how you do ruclips.net/video/vLReR2XzAr0/видео.html
Right. Actually he's an expert in that game. Not kidding.
This one has a simple secret. The man is psychic and he could do this by reading her mind.
I'm out of work now, thanks a lot for revealing my secret.
@@TimonKrause I think i know how you did it :P
@@TimonKrause Good one.

Genuinely funny too man. That was a cool trick
