Penn and Teller just showed us how much class they have! Great ending!
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.
No doubt, eh?!
Yeah that integrity.
P&T did fool Ben into telling them how he did the trick.
Ben also had class for not fighting them on it based on Teller's (possibly vague) one word
I love how they will bring back performers and admit when they were wrong and were fooled. It really elevates the show.
Yeah, they aren't too prideful to admit they were wrong. They really get joy out of being fooled and want to make sure these folks are recognized properly. No embarrassment, no shame, just honesty. Love it!
THIS! This is why I love Penn & Teller so much. They're not afraid to admit a mistake, own it, and rectify it with grace. Those two love the art so much they respect every aspect of it.
The one thing both those men despite most is hypocrisy. They are two of the most genuine men on earth
agree. i second that.
yeah.. umm .. no ..... they know how all of these tricks are done.. the problem with video is that you can rewind it over n over.. if you are a magician like myself you can catch the sleight of hand that he is doing.
You don't know the whole truth. In a few cases, magicians complain that Penn and Teller didn't detect the trick and didn't get the trophy (it's on YT). They were advised not to complain and to be happy to perform in the show (statement of one Italian magician). Old friends are given trophies out of friendship. Penn and Teller had to publicly come forward and explain their actions because the rules were blatantly broken, which are broken primarily by the producers to get ratings. Also, the producers' cuts are unpunished, creating the unresolvable nature of the trick, thus TV viewers cannot judge the magician's actual performance. If the magician has influence by some association, Penn and Teller prefer to correct their statement so that their show does not become a tabloid target.
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.
"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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@alexubel again, I don't care how hard a 5' 4" guy works, he ain't making it into the NBA.
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!
Yeah, class to defer to the hosts. Glad he got that trophy
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!
can you tell me at least 2 other times this has happened,if you can not remeber all of them 4, please?
Can you link the other ones?
I only know of one other time..... that amazing coin guy who came back on another show to get his trophy.
Simon corneal with the poker chip.

Class from Ben for not debating the masters on stage, and props to the masters for making sure they got the right call in the end.
Ben, what a WONDERFUL voice and presentation style you have! Your energy is confident but not cheesy, clear but not condescending, and fun without being frivolous! I'm SO impressed!
Yeah really polished, and I think a wonderful and magical trick
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.
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.
Thank you for not spoiling the ending in the title! Also, super cool of P&T to go back and make up for their mistake. Super cool routine. I was blown away.
But they did?
@@gnoccochini sarcasm exists.
@@Niesrind correct
@@gnoccochiniThe title doesn't say anything about a retraction.
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!
I was so disappointed when you didn’t get the trophy, so imagine my surprise when you did! Congrats!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Man, the patter and presentation is as smooth as silk. When I think of a good magician this guy is the type of magician I think of. Quick, intelligent and eloquent. And all this is without the trick which had me 100% fooled. Great things await this guy.
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.
P&T just performed a great show of ethics, honesty and class with Ben. Respect and applause to all three men here.
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!
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.
You fooled them, and you fooled me! Really classy act. And this clip really highlights the excellent showmanship AND sportsmanship of this show, everyone behaving with such grace. Ben, the boys, the whole lot. Bravo!
The absolute brilliance of this show is the fact that Penn and Teller can just sit comfortably waiting and remembering all of the magic tricks from around the world that they see. They are building the ultimate war chest of the best tricks.
Well done!
Its cool to see Penn & Teller being honest and reward you the trophy.
This is probably the best trick I've seen this season.
Probably second best trick.🎭
That Korean guy with his card trick... that shit was awesome!
But Ben's is pretty fucking cool too!
Great routine, greak tricks, fantastic script and amazing presentation. I am stunned by many performances on Fool Us, this was one of the moste enjoyable ones by far.
Yes!!!! So cool Ben! Congrats! He’s been working this gift of his since we were kids. Happy for you man!
Seeing something like that makes me feel the way I felt when I first saw Penn do the "Is THAT your card?!" trick where he plunges a knife through his hand. I was absolutely flabbergasted! I like feeling like I'm seeing genuine magic and this made me feel that way! Thank you!
The best of the best admiting they were wrong. I know some politicians who would learn a lesson from this video.
Admiting you were wrong dont bring down your value. It shows the world your integrity which is truly in need right now.
HOLY MOLY!!!!! It was not only a great trick, but also an exceptional presentation!! So smooth and inspiring.
Congratulations! I almost turned this off when you said you didn't fool them but I'm so glad I didn't!
Unbelievable! Well done Ben!
Rooting for you good sir! So happy to see you getting noticed. I can’t imagine how much work goes into making everything so seamless.
It just shows that even masters of the craft can be wrong. Amazing stage presentation too. Absolutely loved it. ❤
Homegirl was pretty into THAT magic trick 👀
This was just amazing!! I sincerely applaud your dedication to your craft and your presentation was beyond perfect. Well deserved!!
Heck yeah, Ben! So happy for you. I watch a fair amount of Fool Us, and I was able to keep up for awhile. The ending of your trick was definitely a twist for me.
Congratulations! Very entertaining! Beautiful routine!Loved every minute of it!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Now THAT was an impressive magic performance! The finale was incredible.
This is the beauty of this Duo. Honest acknowledgment! The signature hallmark of great people! Such a lovely vibe it leaves!! Thanks Penn Thanks teller! 🙏🏾
Truly beautiful - thanks for sharing this! Mesmerizing work,.
That’s awesome! Gives the show integrity when they do that.
Amazing. Great Job. Mind blowing
Bravo to Penn and Teller for keeping this show as fair as possible! Thanks for the video :)
Next level stuff! So glad you got the trophy!
Beautiful. And a tough crowd for him at the start! Go Ben!
Great showmanship & performance! This was a fun trick. Congrats twist at the end!! Glad you Fooled Them 🔥🤟🙌
Great magic Ben, great stage presence, so glad you fooled them!
This is a wonderful performance with such a cool final moment and a beautiful message.
this was one of those moments where I was in awe of the trick and as much as I love Penn & Teller, I so hope they don't how it's done. Two big wins here, Ben - that seemed utterly impossible & Penn & Teller - magic with integrity, pure class
Best performance I have seen on Pen and Teller and best patter so enjoyable.
Ben, that was fantastic you fooled them. Congrats 👍😊🙏👏👏👏👏🪄✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Honesty from a couple of magicians! Well, you still fooled me. Great routine.
Best patter and story writing I am seen - so clean, not a wasted word! (Also, the magic was pretty cool)
Penn & Teller, amazing. Honest and of a class rarely found in show business. Thank You......
Wow! Astonishing, mind-blowing! Congratulations!
Respect for Penn & Teller! And congrats, Ben!
That's humility, and integrity! Bravo!
What a great presentation. You definitely put lots of thought into the story you presented, and it definitely gave the illusion and extra layer of "wow."
Beautifully done. Congratulations!
Loved that ending. I thought the trick was incredible
I enjoyed the humbleness from both the magician on stage and p&t more so than the trick.
I loved this! I was surprised that P&T "figured it out" but was very happy to see that they corrected their mistake and gave you the trophy that you definitely earned. Great routine and I hope to see a lot more.
Great presentation Ben
Your stagecraft is excellent. Genuinely enjoyed, and a beautifully woven yarn 👌
You have good interaction with your banter...great job ...keep it up
Its very good to know they check their hypotesis. Serious commitment for serious magic.
I loved some of you new moves with the ring and yarn. I have not performed in years but I am going to practice those moves so I need only carry a string in my wallet but do a performance ANYWHERE even with people all around me. Thank you for such a wonderful set of moves that even a old man with arthritis who cannot palm a card anymore can do. The methods you came up with are almost self working they are so slick!
Great job! Awesome twist!! 💥BOOM!!!💥™
A beautiful trick and I really enjoyed your narrative, charming indeed.
You have such amazing charisma. Thank you for such an amazing performance!!!
The jar part was a great ending to an entertaining set. Congrats!
What a wonderful routine & the ball of yarn in the glass jar baffled me. I look forward to watching more of your performances.
ps) congrats on the win!!
That is the DEFINITION of CLASS and HONOR! It could have ended when he left the stage. Kudos for making sure they got it right.
Congrats Ben! What a rollercoaster that must have been.
Congratulations ! You deserve it !
From a fellow Houstonian - that was a BEAUTIFUL performance!! I gotta get back to HMNS to see you in action!
HUGE integrity points - bravo, bravo ❤
That was a great magic trick, enjoyed it from the start to the end. And well done on the Fooler Trophey.
This was amazing dude. I saw how disappointed you were when they first said you didn't fool them. I could tell you thought maybe they did and you did the amazing/awesome/respectable thing by accepting defeat. Then you got the trophy! Couldn't ask for a more entertaining fool us segment.
Great trick...and great reminder of Theseus.
Secret aside, this was a beautiful performance. Ben has stellar patter, that fluid and entrancing to a degree. A great story teller. Just a great routine.
This was so impressive and the storytelling and mythos added a whole new layer
Wow, throughout most of the performance I was surprised how well I could follow and thought it was basically just foam balls. But that ending... I was increasingly pushed to the edge of the seat until my mind was thoroughly blown :D What a spectacular performance!
Beautiful presentation. Wonderful ending. 🎉
Great story and performance, it is a real magic!
Very eloquent. Very crisp performance.
Awesome job, Ben! Great performance
Amazing routine! You crushed it
I’ve been to Ben’s show in Houston. It’s a lot of fun and a chance to see a world-class magician up close. If you haven’t seen it you should go!
this was amazing! the fact that he accepted that they thought they knew how he did it when he probably knew they didn't get it is a tetament to being a class act
Just have to say what an extraordinary trick. And congratulations.
your act was awesome man! really! 👍
Fooled me lol….well done, thoroughly entertaining Sir!
Amazing trick. I really liked it.
It was a great act though. I loved the ring onto the knitting needle. That was great! *Oh wow, I paused it before the end... Congrats on the fool!
Definitely one of the best tricks I've ever seen, well done
That was a very creative storyline and magical ending. Enjoyed very much.
Wow, first of a kind! Congrats!
Great job brother!!!! Bill
Great trick with a great outcome! Bravo!
What a wonderfully entertaining performance. You Sir, are amazing. I look forward to much greater things from you. Subscribed.
oh this is beautiful! absolutely love this!
Ben is awesome. I think he even knew they probably did not know but out of respect he didn’t say anything but pen and teller being as awesome as they are showed true class
Beautiful performance.
