Plot twist: Carlos never got his ID back
In this scene (5:53), Carlos' expression was like, "Ha-ha! Can I have my license back now?"
Looks like he got it back at 3:03 folded in the paper. Why else would old mate take the paper from 'carlos' fold it and give it back?
@@lukethompson8137 I notice that too! But if that’s the case, how did the magician create a false ID to show penn and teller, since they saw it at the end of the trick? I’m so confused by this trick haha xD
@@EmmaTheSwede , memorized the info maybe?
@@lukethompson8137 no he still has it in his right hand
Penn laughing hysterically at the thought of being murdered by dynamite is one of the funniest moments ever on this show LMAO. Then Teller's reaction to his souvenir, also incredibly hilarious.
4:45 Penn inconspicuously checks under the table with his feet. lol
Good catch
Mr Eagle Eyes 🤓
I dunno why, the device was obviously in his wallet.
@@DocFunkenstein now I want Penn to stick his feet in his jacket looking for printers
🧐👍😎
It is so rare that the guest gets penn to laugh like that
Penn loves dark humor. And Wayne nailed it lol
Thank you for not spoiling the result in the title. Nice performance!
8:44 Wayne, you looked genuinely surprised here. As a mentalist, I thought you would have seen that coming, lol. Great performance.
He's a mentalist, not a psychic :p
Lets all climax together cracked me up.
Best mentalist/prediction routine yet, in my opinion. Also a great personality. Very captivating.
The story about guns blazing is code...guns probably represents January and 7 shots probably 7 x 2 or 14...partner sends signal to miniprinter
Yeah he admitted there was a printer, they just guessed the location wrong.
No one gonna talk about the fact he said "Let's all climax together!" 😂👍
Great showmanship & Congratulations for Success Fooler 💯
That was EXCELLENT !! Great Job! and Congratulations, Wayne !
This guys pretty cool. A true entertainer
Wow. I’m watching this the night of January 13th, my name is Carlos and my birthday is January 14th lol
What are you trying to say ?
It's a trap!
Do you know, every Carlos in the world have birthday January 14th?
And Carlos that was the real trick Man he is good
is your driver license still with you?
I saw Carlos at the DMV trying to get another licence!!
Wow perfect timing happy birthday Carlos!!!
This is a great performance.
I was actually in the audience of this show. Penn and Teller did eventually figure it out, just after they stopped the cameras.
Caesar oh...
Caesar so... How did they figure it out?
what was itttt
@@arniecalang4583 There was a card imprinter, just not where they thought it was originally.
@@swiftythegathering I imagine he still got to keep the trophy. Did P&T announce they figured it out while he was still onstage?
I LOVE YOU MAN! LOVE IT!
He is great! Our company hired him and he blew us all away. He did some sleight of hand up close, but the mentalism part was so crazy. He could literally guess what we were thinking, he was also able to unlock a few phones, knew what word we chose and what article it was from, knew what names we were thinking of. He’s a time traveler for sure.
Luckily he didn't blow you away with the dynamite he gave Teller 🤣
The fake dynamite covers the noise of the printer, which is on him.
Yes true. The dynamite also gave him enough time to print the card.
Bingo. And the table close concealed him putting it in his wallet.
Yh...Absolute misdirection
Yep, thats what i think
Yeah but when did he enter carlos' data into the printer?
that was one of the funniests presentations I've ever seen on this show.
Wonderful performance
I've been beinge watching these clips over the last week, they guess everything! Finally someone who fooled!
Happy Birthday Carlos!
LMFAO The starting joke is so good
Sleight of hand, sleight of mind.
Very nice 🙏
Saw you in Estero magazine. Very talented.
I could easily explain this if Penn wasn't the one choosing the volunteer, that part got me. It must be multiple outs, maybe some other type of press printer in your jacket or something. It's possible to have a small one and then remote controlled by someone else .. at least this is how I'd do this trick if I had to replicate it. Nice job and I really liked the joke about the dynamite fooling them if it went off, very authentic and original joke that was actually funny. Also Alyson looked so cute and adoreable when you mentioned the defenseive position lol
My understanding is that offstage help is against the rules. So it audience plants, that type of stuff. So they can only use what they brought on stage with them to perform the trick. If an accomplice was under the table for example, that would have been allowed.
@@RageDaug Perhaps a remote he has, he does putt his hands behind his back a couple of times
What I think happened to the audience pick is, on the "letter", it likely says "Dear {say your name}....".
And like the comment section speculates, likely a card puncher in his thicc wallet :)
@@jackbotman that’s what I thought about the letter. Like (not the trick, say your name) but it would be to risky
@@RageDaug offstage help isn't against the rules
His wallet has the card presaged. And in his extremely thick wallet, is a wireless card punch built in it. The card in his wallet gets the first name and birthdate punched into it during the stage. Hence the long need to extend the show with the dynamite for the card to get done in his wallet.
What about the paper with Carlos' name on it that was given to him 1st?
@@UndergroundGamer When the paper was seen @2:40 Dear is printed, and maybe Carlos is written in pencil.
@@shadowhawk22 That's right. Good spot! So that's why he didn't want the letter facing the cameras.
@@shadowhawk22 ))) Carlos" is in italics in the form as "Your Name". That's why Carlos smiled when he saw that his name wasn't there, but he accepted the game.
Carlos is apparently a magician, like everyone in the audience, so he accepted the game more easily than a layman. These tricks require the impudence of a magician and the art of taking the initiative in reading the text where the name is missing, in order for the victim to learn how to mention his name in the rest of the text in exchange for "Your name". It's all about this trick that not everyone can do. The rest is a matter of technology. The wireless press machine is smaller than a 3.5 "floppy disk drive in his jacket pocket. That's why it took him a while to pull out his wallet - he had to insert a card from the machine. Penn de facto revealed the trick. That's why he played a comedy with a table and a tablecloth. Penn always physically reveals what is not part of the trick - information for the inexperienced.
I highly highly doubt it@@DL-kc8fc
Dynamite part was hilarious 😂
The Dynamite was key to the trick! The perfect misdirection
Somewhere out there Carlos has a membership card with no ID
Well executed, this takes a lot of skill... :)
I'm intrigued how do we join the club Wayne?
Climax together 🤣
cant everybody here just accept the fact that wayne hoffman is a mentalist AND real magician with powers :D
he did it without printers, without electronic ect. =)
The security let him bring tnt in with him and all 3 of them climaxed together. Wonderful show
Carlos looks like he is really wanting to know when he is going ot get his licence
"Body language expert" tells her she is "sitting in fig leaf position"
Now I am no expert but Im pretty sure she was in a STANDING position....anyone else notice?
Nice trick sir.
It must be fun to read the comments everybody trying to figure it out
I stayed 4 nights in the Rio and met Penn in the lobby after a show
so?
Loved it. Thanks
5:51 Carlos does not look like he wants to join the club
And the exploding one LMAO
2:52..."Carlos" knows and is saying to himself. "I want $100,000 to keep my mouth shut." LOL
He can have half of the FU trophy, there's no money in this.
plot twist 2 , Carlos wasn’t him , he was Carlos
how did you do it man?
Did Carlos get his Driver's License back?
Not allowed to use plants
Kalibur Kitty yeah i think he placed it in the letter around 3:00
Nah he was robbed
He got it before living the stage :)
Well done Wayne. That was a really cool trick. I thought you had an embosser to make the membership card in your inside suit pocket based on how long it took you to get your wallet out, but regardless, how the eff did you know they were gonna pick a Carlos from the crowd?
He didn’t
I bet you he asks for a Las Vegas local from the crowd so that he can get a common, easy to spell name. He also says "a guy", probably to avoid popular female names that have multiple common spellings.
If he has a rapid portable printer, perhaps he held it up against the envelope, which has a hole in the appropriate position to leave access to the letter.
He could have held the license up to a lapel camera, allowing an assistant to send a command to print.
That would also explain why he crumpled up the envelope - hiding evidence.
@@inyourhead9714 The reason Penn said he couldn't do it 30 years ago is that, the printing technology wasn't available...I'm not impressed, this isn't '"magic or mentalism '" anymore, it's modern technology BS....Blackboards that write like chalk, portable embossers, etc....Just isn't real magic or illusion...Assistants that sit off stage and print names on membership letters......just straight up BS...Even this guy looks sleezy......
Or his name wasn't Carlos. When did the volunteer say his name was Carlos
How did he get his name so fast on the paper?
The letter wrote “Dear Carlos”. The guy’s name wasn’t Carlos but he said it is to go with the flow. It is called instant stooging. When you volunteer to stand in front of a big audience for a magic trick you probably feel some sympathy for the magician anyway and you want to assist. You don't want to ruin his/her trick. Also you get to be part of the most amazing trick that leave the others in the audience amazed. So you just comply.
Alex Marin I..... I am Carlos
Uhm... That doesn't quite work, since he had his licence to show to penn and teller. Since Penn picked the audience member, Wayne had NO way of knowing his name and birth date until the exact moment he saw his license at 2:18. The letter is first "revealed" at 2:33 (when he lets go of it) So to get Carlos name on the letter, something had to happen in that period. I don't claim to know HOW, but SOMETHING happened. You can also see how importaint it is for Wayne to keep the paper facing away from the camera at 2:40 :) So the upper part of the paper might not be printed, but IDK :) Really good trick. I do agree that the dynamite "shtick" was used to misdirect from the printing of the card. 4:09 is where the printer is used, however he does it. No magician stands on stage with his hands behind his back like that if not doing something.. It's here the dynamite is reaching "blowing up", which draws _everyones_ attention to the dynamite, and forgetting about his hands being working behind his back. After that, his trick is done :) The wallet comes from his back pocket too, so.. he had the knowledge of "carlos" and his birth date, and about 10 seconds with his hands behind his back. I think Penn and Teller might have gotten missdirected when he pulls the wallet up and pretends to take it out of his inner pocket, since I'm sure they saw that. (4:50)
So I've only come up with the time _when_ the trick is performed, but have no idea how :P
His name is Carlos, he's an old friend of mine. I haven't seen that dude in a minute this is fucking hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 Carlos Zavala is his name lol
Pretty funny that this Carlos Zavala and Jorge Lopez here in the comments have only 5 subscribers and no videos uploaded... Something seems really fishy here.
That's risky and could be very embarrassing.
Didn't anyone notice that he never actually asked the man from the audience his name? He just took his drivers license and said, himself, it was Carlos, and gave him a letter and told him to read it out loud which read that it was addressed to Carlos. This is, actually, a genuine mentalism routine. There's nothing going on. He just tricks the audience into thinking the man's name was Carlos, and already had the ID and the membership card.
if you make that claim, please tell me how did wayne get carlos's picture into the second ID? Correctly me if I'm wrong but it seems as if he has a second ID with the name carlos, because the back of the id at 2:29 is not the same as the id at 5:35. Even if he had a second card, how does he get the picture of carlos onto the second card? I agree that he tricks the audience in thinking his name is carlos because the letter is addressed to a carlos, in general.
It's possible that he slipped the ID into a sleeve designed to cover up the ID except for the picture, but with all the information he wanted on it, so it looked like a single intact card. He knew exactly what format of ID to expect, because he specifically asked for only "locals" to raise their hand. Why else would he ask this if the format of the ID was important? Granted, it might be hard to make such a thing with someone as keen as Teller handling the card. But you can also see he doesn't actually give Teller the card. He holds it and lets Teller look at it. That's my guess.
I guess that doesn't make much sense with how modern IDs work, now that I think about it. I guess I don't know.
I agree with you about possibly placing another ID over the real one, but this show takes place in vegas correct? Carlos ID is from Florida. It in fact is not a local ID. I think that he uses some sort of mentalism to deceive the audience- something along the lines of a trick where I say, "Write something on the board". You write any word. But the trick is that I want you to actually write the word 'something'. I feel like he does a mentalist trick like that to fool everybody. I don't know magic at all so I dont even know what to call this type of mentalist trick! Is the stuff Wayne does between 3:00-4:30 misdirection to get the ID how he wants it? I don't see what he does though in this time. Teller also touches the card at 5:46, but doesn't necessarily hold it. I can't figure it out.
The letter didn't say Carlos, it said dear ..then carlos added his name
lets all climax together hahahahahaha
😏
His name is not Carlos. He swaps the driver's license and pressures the guy not to reveal it. It's obvious when you look at his facial expressions and that disappointed smile at the end.
Catched! When Hoffman crunched the envelope he puts it in the rear pocket picking the other licence, than sleight of hand and he puts the guy's licence in the sheet during the folding act at 3:01.Then "Carlos" goes out with his lic enbedded in the sheet of paper! So no need to involve him anymore. No technology involved. cool
His name is Carlos Zavala look him up on Facebook lmao. I used to be his friend 😂😂😂😂
There is definitely a card swap and a very good one in timing. Remains the problem of the photograph on the switched card.
Look at the wallet....its way too thick on just one half of it not to have a printer in it.
His name is carlos. It didn't say Carlos on the letter, just dear. And he had a printer
I know Penn did it on wired or GQ but I really wish Gob would make a guest appearance as a contestant : anyone talk to Will Arnett. I want to see Gob try and foold Penn.
He had the tiny printer hidden under his chair , that's why he pushed the chair when P&T when up to the stage to check the table .
tHE TABLECLOTH WAS BAIT THE MORE OBVIOUS CHOICE to get them to have to pick it with the license being put on the table to also mislead like one other said here the 7 shots was code to off stage in mini printer on his person iT SHOULD not end there if there are multiple ways to do a trick then its not fooling them just a matter of guessing. When he held his hands behind his back while talking he was retrieving the card
Excellent!
"Right now, Penn and Teller have to decide whether or not they want to die."
Doesn't this have preshow work? I thought they didn't allow that on the show.
He had the membership cards of everyone in the room pre-printed!
i guess in the letter it was written "don't say your name"(or something like that) in the begining, and then, while he did that dinamite thing he changed the guest's card with one pre-made
I really didn't care for it. Next.
Brought you by. Oh forget it.😅😂🤣
Are instant stooges allowed in the show?
Some thoughts.
Although the timing would be tight Wayne could use a thumb writer to put Carlos name on the letter through a hole in the side of the envelope we never see.
We have the monumental distraction in the dynamite which gives Wayne time to use something like a dymo machine to press out the name and date. You know one of those old label printer gizmos
That’s in a side pocket and he then takes the pressed card and does card to wallet.
Correct
I still don't even know where the mentalist part of the trick is?
Writing Carlos on the paper is easy to do if you have the right tool on your 👍 Now, why the dynamite? That was a mere noise distraction so no one could hear the printer. Penn was close. But the printer was not in the table. Where then? Well I've got to 'SIT' down and think about that one for a while😊
That guy seemed pissed with they said he had a printer
Seems like he had some printing device in the wallet and had it print Carlos. That thing was thiccc
Teller looked disappointed when the thing didn't go off
What if when he brought * Carlos * on stage that wasnt actually his name, but in the paper he gave for the audience member to read he stated that the audience member should play along like his name is Carlos ,and then used a fake drivers license of Carlos
The show doesnt allow any way for the audience to be "in on it". Also doesnt allow audience plants.
That was what I was thinking, but the picture on the driver's license would still have to look at least vaguely like the guy who Penn picked in the audience.
The guy's name actually is Carlos, but the sheets says something like "say your name here". That's why he didn't want Carlos to turn the sheet around. It's called instant stooging and it is allowed on Pen and Teller
Without giving it away, there is a major hint between 2:00 and 3:00.
Amazing, He's good enough to even fool Pen and Teller
he never said his name was Carlos. He never earlier said his birthday either. He just said "isn't that weeeeeird?" and then he called him good looking. he also kinda subconsciously got Penn to choose a man when he said a "guy"
At 2:40 its probably written "dear [say your name] bla bla bla" and the spectator just wanted to call the BS lol
I figured it out instantly, just pressed the embossed ID against the member card that didn't have any embosment which just needed to be heated up by his wallet.
Carlos is an obvious accomplice.
The producers know how the trick is done, and accomplices are not allowed. 😎
Is his name actually Carlos?
No shit
Carlos Zavala o.o
If his name is not Carlos it’s a great scam, but they should have notice his pictured didn’t match when looking at the date
If his name is Carlos and his name is on the paper that is the best part of the trick
If his name is not on the paper Carlos almost ruined the trick by turning the paper around
The printer has to be on stage either the chair or the jacket.
They didnt check his chair.
Printer was in the chair
It was under the chair not the table lol
okay but did Carlos get his driver's license back lol
Dude looks like a ponytailed Weird Al
Didn't need it. Wayne gave his cousin a ride home. :-)
He says he's good at reading body language, proceeds to say Allison is sitting in the fig leaf position. Fails to notice she is standing.😀
The welcome latter is folded wrong. Printed area shouldn't be seen. Who fold latter like it. He did that because he can write name from the back of envelope. Because I think envelope has no back side.
Second think, 02:45 he is taking too much time to put envelope in the pocket. And also seeing the driving license while putting the envelope in.
Yep. A gimmicked envelope to allow for nail writing.
Carlos looked a little skeptical of your whole act … how was the letter you handed him phrased? I wonder if there’s a way to handle that part of your act differently, so that there’s no risk you’ll “lose” the volunteer … or maybe I’m misreading the body language, if so my apologies and please disregard my whole comment. But often in an act there’ll be a point where you need your volunteer to sort of be “in” on the fun, to willingly collaborate with you, and at those moments there’s a varying risk your volunteer instead will think “Oh, _this_ guy, get a load of him, this whole thing is lame!” and instead of bringing them into the fun, you’ll have lost them. And that looked like it was happening with Carlos a little, like he kinda went “Yeah, no, I’m not down with this” and you lost him. Am I making sense? Anyway, I like your act, I just wonder if there’s a way to minimize risk during that part of the act, where the volunteer reads the letter, _if_ I correctly picked up on what happened there. Kudos, though, on fooling P&T, and you put on a great show!
I think the letter probably said something like "Hello, (say your name)."
Something going on in his pockets...
Why this guy's jacket 3 sizes smaller to fit him right, do magician make enough money
now he knows where Carlos lives .. poor guy
I have the same birthday as Carlos🥳
so?
Never expected a reply a year later
Well here's a two year one: Happy birthday!
Take a chill bro
Wayne: *Rhymes 'us' with 'us'*
Also Wayne: yeah, I freestyle.
Get the fk outta here...
the rhyme is "school us" and "fool us". not just "us". rhymes aren't always just one word with one word.
He sounds and looks like Weird Al.
He didn’t fool them. He embarrassed them and it felt cheap. They know it was done with a printer.
This guy looks like a graffiti artist called kiptoe
Can't help but wonder if the volunteer is actually Carlos. He doesn't look very impressed at 05:52. They never zoomed into his handed over drivers at the start. So technically the only 2 people who know the truth is the magician and volunteer and even randomly picked he is not going to stop the performance to say that's not my name. I assume he has 2 pre-made 1 with a woman's name and 1 with a man's. Could be wrong but just seems odd. Why remove him from stage aswell so quick. He never asked his name when he first walked up and when he read the letter Dear Carlos the magician gestured saying That's you ! Basically saying please go with this.
“I want all of us to climax together” woah buddy
You have the grammar of your sister, or girlfriend, depends on how you see it
Good and funny routine, but easy to figure out. When he says he uses no props, that's not entirely true.
