Hello it's Emma here! This is my original performance from my time on Fool Us. Thank you all for the support it means a lot. Just the likes and shares are really helpful so keep it up!
Love you! Very nice Performance, and safly you did not fool them, but you fooled me :-) ! Next time you get them! Best of luck!
I was so rooting for you. That was an amazing magic trick and you had me fooled. There is no doubt in my mind that you will go far in life with your performances. Do not let gender be an issue at all. You have a great stage presence.
Hi Emma, fool us is mine and my wifes favorite show on Friday nights. I have to work every other Friday so we have the series recording on dvr. We saw your original performance a few weeks back and loved it. We feel you're going to go far. Keep it up sweetie and we hope to see you again in the near future.😊
Great job Emma! If I was psychic I would say I see great things in your future.
I look forward to seeing repeat appearances to try to get the trophy again =)
The real magic is solving the face of the cube while simultaneously talking to Penn, without looking like you're solving the face of a cube. Emma, you're obviously a very experienced cuber. Most cubers I talk to can't maintain a conversation while solving a face.
It's not really solving the face. It's really just getting 8 pieces around a center. If it were a solved face, there would be 3 consecutive colors on the bottom row of each side.
If the bottom face is solved, the bottom row every side should also be solved
@@rickymoszer3383 Except I think she was lining up the bottom as solid yellow while AVOIDING solving the side, because if the bottom row didn't look "random" on the four adjoining sides, it would have tipped off what was happening too early.
@@twincitiestarayes what you said. That was on purpose.
Anyone know why her cube had non-standard colors? The white and yellow faces should be opposite but they're touching on hers. I don't think any cube trickery is needed for the trick so why not use the standard color scheme?
I love that P and T allows the magicians to showcase their attempts to fool Penn and Teller on their own youtube channels.
How gracious is Penn to stand up at the end and get the audience to applaud her.
"She hates Penns!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But she love that pen as in Penn
I’m slightly dyslexic and that exclamation point really threw me off on your comment
Good that Penn didn't hate back and ruin the trick. Magic is magic only as long as the trick is secret.
@@HiThisIsMineNOICE! 😂
He just had to tell 'er!
I'm no magician but I am a cuber, and the casual way you used actual cubing skills while chatting with Penn was very impressive!
if you are a cuber you may have realized the color scheme on that cube was not correct... there is something odd about that cube.
@@manusoftar you are dead wrong. the main part of the trick is that she was able to solve the side a normal cube half way while looking at it, and then the rest while looking away and talking to Penn
@@manusoftar It was non-standard colours, but I'm 99% sure that I could hand her any one of my 3x3 cubes, and she could do the trick just as well.
@@Wright1331 I know, I was just saying it looked odd to see that color pattern...
The trick is no mistery, there are a couple of options for some parts (like, how did she managed to know which color did Penn choose, because it was clearly not a force, she could have done that by memory like knowing the original orientantion of the cube and keeping the order on her head as she turned the cube around or even by having some kind of tactile assitance on the cube itself to help her know which face she was touching) but it pretty straight forward.
@@Autoskip yep, it's not a gimmicked cube, it's just odd that she didn't use a regular color scheme for it...
there are many ways in which she may have known which color did Penn choose... she may have memorized the orientation she started from and keep a mind record of how many movements she did on her back until Penn asked her to stop to know exactly on which color she landed, or even have something on the cube, like something she could feel by tact to know which face Penn choose.
The rest is just solving the first face but disregarding the other of the cross and corners so it is not that obvious that she, basically solved that face.
The block part is a commercial thing that has been used for years (Like, the bowling ball from a paper block, and even David Copperfield has a trick where he draws a landscape and then makes the moon rise on the paper and lastly he rips the page and gives it to the spectator).
2:46 "whatever you want it's fine" I love that confidence and honesty. I can see Penn's face going "is she doing this the hard way?"
Another performance that clearly demonstrates that winning the trophy is not the main goal of this show. The true purpose is to witness amazing magicians perform even more amazing magic acts. Your stage presence is incredible; you're confident, professional, and it is clear that you love being there and performing magic tricks. You even handled Penn professionally. You didn't let him look around and carelessly touch things at the end. No, you placed the piece of paper in his hand and essentially said, 'Here you go, you can examine this as much as you want. Now, go back to your chair and sit down.' Great job!
Thank you 🙏🙏
At the end of the performance, the only thing that matters is that the audience was entertained. Everything else is just nitpicking.
You did not fool us, but we will make you feel great. I love how he makes magicians feel appreciated.
What do you mean? He usually threatens them with violence! 🤣
Daaang, Penn prompting the audience to give another round of applause is something I've never seen him do :O He was genuinely impressed and wanted people to recognize you :)
she did a great job. she was entertaining. she did a great trick on top of that. just because they knew how it was done doesnt make it anyless great of a job that she did.
There are very few female magicians. Let alone young, pretty and likable ones. So he doesn't want the fact that they weren't fooled to hurt her psyche in moving forward in the art. Just my opinion.
I saw yellow all over the cube the whole time she manipulated it that I never expected a full yellow side as the final reveal. I had to go back and rewatch. The last couple turns of the cube were so effortless that I still didn't catch it on the 2nd time through. Then I watched that part a couple more times. Unbelievable skill!
Yeah I had to watch a couple times. At one point you could tell the yellow was close to being solved and she just did the final couple turns with yellow down to not show. Very smooth. Only true cubers would truly understand. Not me that’s for sure.
The camera was off her hands for the last 10 secs.
The last two moves before she puts it in his hand were the whole trick, and I don’t know how she did it. I can solve a cube the slow “baby cuber” way. Knowing the color and working the notebook are clearly the “easy” parts of the trick. Talking to and guiding Penn while handling the cube and making it look mixed up until the very last moment are the deep skills. I’m sure Penn could pull this off, but Teller could never.. because he’s so bad at talking to people.
Dr. Martin Lewis, the cardiologist, would be proud. A captivating performance.
This poised, confident young lady effortlessly pulled this off.... WHILE NERVOUS.
WTF am I doing with my life?
The speed you completed that yellow face without looking or even making it obvious was really clever! When I realised where the trick was going I had to rewind the video to rewatch it!
I always love the Magician Talk they use at the end to let the person know they know. It’s a cool way to keep and reveal the secret at the same time.
What was the magician talk?
@@vegasidol He kept saying 'heart' to let her know he knew how she activated the invisible ink.
At least that's what I understood
@@jessicalawson1417 There is a trick called "cardiographic" by Martin Lewis which is probably a very close relative to this trick, and the cube part of the trick is simply pure cubing skill
@@vegasidol Martin Lewis, cardiographic
The thing With cube magic is: the trick is solving the cube.
you mean the one side
@@3dmagictricks The yellow face was not even properly solved, but that actually works better in the trick because there's no telling from the four adjacent faces. - It's easier as a cuber to stick all one colour on a face disregarding the adjacent faces (but still takes practice to do it so quickly as part of this act).
I think the presentation of the performance was even better than the trick itself, very enjoyable to watch.
She's very impressive. Her hair is wonderful too
I'm impressed, she is reaaaally good at presenting.
She radiates confidence - a star in the making for sure
I completely agree. She's a natural performer/entertainer and I was immediately captivated by her stage presence.
Already made!
That praise from Penn is not fake. Very well done! I look forward to seeing more from you!
I mean these folks who go on this show might be well practiced, but I'm still always impressed how people keep it together and even bring these masters on stage with them. I could never do it. I know I'd eat sh-t.
The grandmother comment made me snort laugh. LOL My son is OBSESSED with his Rubik's Cube. He will love this video!
Not only is this a very entertains, engaging and clever trick, but how she hid how she did it from all but the most trained eye is magic in itself. I watched it back and I think I’ve worked it out, but that only makes it that much more impressive - to call this a mere ‘trick’ does not give true justice to what is required to perform it. I therefore know Penn wasn’t lying when he said he and Teller could never learn it. Knowing how it’s done is one thing, but being able to actually do it is a whole other story. Amazing - wishing this clever lady every success.
I am so impressed by this young magician! And even more impressed with how Penn and Teller can keep coming up with these clever ways of saying they weren't fooled.
Solving a face while making it look like she was just mixing it up some more and chatting him up. Brilliant! Incredible solving skills raised to a level of confidence that allows you to pull that off on a stage with cameras and a live audience. This is not a trick that just anyone can do and therefore exclusive to cube masters only. Bravo! 🎉 🙌 🎉
Lol I struggling speaking in front of 10 people and this brilliant young lady just looks at home on the stage. Keep it up! You’re gonna be one of the greats one day!
You are a genius four times.
She rotated the six sided cube so that only four sides were available based on how she was holding it. All she had to do was remember the order, and as soon as he picked a color she knew it. The rest was the show. Her “additional scramble” was her solving the yellow side before handing it back.
Still bravo! 👏
But how did the cube end on bottom yellow in penn’s hands?
Before she places the cube on his hand, you can see she does few twists on the cube while talking @@Alex-hb1yf
@@Alex-hb1yf she solved that side and put it face down so he didnt see
@@Alex-hb1yf She placed it in his hands that way when she handed it to him. Also she either was banking on the psychology of people picking bright colors and knowing most people would pick the neon yellow, or she had multiple pens under the table so she had invisible ink for each of them.
@@Alex-hb1yf She already had the image of the cube drawn in the notebook prior to coming on stage with the white spaces of the bottom of the cube cut out. Then, with her thumb, she slowly slid a piece of paper that had been colored yellow up into view through the cut out holes. She had a paper for all 4 possible colors. Notice, she rotates the cube so white is not a possibility, as that would ruin the trick.
she has such a great stage presence. calm and engaging and quick on her feet interacting with Penn
how excellent to be so composed on stage at that age
Awesome performance. You definitely fooled me😂👍
At first glance, when you started coloring in the book, I thought you were drawing the exact pattern under Penn’s hand, matching at least the visible sides on the book with the cube itself. I’m very impressed!
Amazing! I love cube magic and this routine was brilliant
It wasnt. It was even quite obvious while she arranges the cube by herself before giving it to penn.
I get that nobody wants to break her heart but come on. The sooner she knows this trick wouldnt fool a 12 year old the better she will be at progressing towards magic tricks.
@@JoHn-if6wy well she got me lol I forgot she “scrambled” the cube herself a little - she successfully misdirected me! And the paper changing color was cool to me!
I'm so impressed! Just like with the Card Mechanic, how you can do that, it's crazy! And such an entertaining act around it. It was a great performance, and although it didn't fool me, I enjoyed every minute of that performance!
Great performance! I did magic when I was a young person (long ago) and had the opportunity to come up on stage with a very famous magician of that time. Looking out at that huge audience and experiencing that feeling of knowing I had helped entertain them had an incredible impact on me that lasts to this day. I just wanted to say that I hope this, and your other successes, has the same kind of positive impact for you! Well done.
Well done performance and what is MUCH better than that is the fact that you are very likeable as a person so people will enjoy watching you. Thank you for a fun watch. 😄
Emma's delivery is polished like bright chrome! ❤
Congratulations on a great trick & performance. I really enjoyed that.
Very well done. And great presentation.
Wow! amazing performance, I'm always fascinated by young magicians performing on an adult stage.
Been doing magic for long long time now
This was incredibly impressive
You have a great future ahead with that kind of skill
Amazing! 👍😎
Great performance, thank you!
Ayo congrats! That was amazing. Keep up the great work. For being nervous, as you said you were, it actually didn't come through in the pacing of your dialogue. You seemed calm and in control. Astonishing! Keep slaying and biggest blessings!
Emma the confidence !! 👏🏼👏🏼🙌🏼
So amazing, love it, bravo Emma!
Just amazing! Been a fan for a long time! Feels great to see you on the big stage!
Emma, great trick, fine performance! Looking forward to seeing you on stage in the future!
HOLY CRAP!! That was AMAZING!!!
I hope to see your magic act in Vegas and on tv again. You're a totally great magician. 👏 👏 👏
This is the type of trick that you could explain what you're doing as you're doing it, and it would still be impressive.
Oh boy, Emma, this routine was mesmerizing. You have a great career ahead of you.
We live in NYC and we'll have to look around and come see you.
You did a great job not only with the trick but with the keeping the audience captivated
Your confidence and love of magic shines.
Thoroughly impressed and entertained the entire time. That’s real magic, right there. You were clearly born for the stage! 🙂
As a magicians friend I was explained this and yes it requires significant concentration and genius
Bravo Emma!!!
I kept along with the trick, but the insane smoothness and confidence is astounding. Young lady you have an incredible career in magic ahead of you and dont let anyone tell you otherwise... 10/10 performance!
I loved everything about your presentation!! You are awesome!!
Hi Emma! I hope you continue your journey, you will be successful at everything you do! Your parents must be proud and I will share your performance with my 3 daughters, thank you!
You’re a treat Emma. Well deserved applause. Fooled me!
Impressive 🎉 Bravo 👏 keep doing what you enjoy. I look forward to seeing your future performances.
Fun and entertaining routine! Keep up the good work! ❤
Grandma with thunder down under cracked me up hahahaha. You go girl
That was great. Keep going your Awesome!
First time I’ve heard of cube magic this was excellent
Great job! You have a bright future ahead of you. The most impressive parts actually weren’t cubing or magic, it’s your ability to articulate and present your show in front of the big audience. And most importantly, you have a great attitude. I’m sure you’re do great things in the future. Keep it up!
(Btw, I’m a cuber and was a magician too back in the day, and your trick deeply resonates with me.)
Great performance and trick. So much fun.
Brilliant performance 🔥🔥
Good job Emma. I enjoy watching you .
God bless
Great, original trick, I loved it!
You have such phenomenal stage presence! Great trick, and a nice departure from other cube magic!
Great job, :)
I am very impressed by your skills. Keep bringing joy to people by showing them your magic!
This is not magic in its typical form. This is 100% skill that most people do not have and will never have and some easy and basic magic routine. Still impressive and certainly worth respect. The act was smooth and the audience loved it. Flawless performance.
I think all magic is skill. It's not like other magicians are using real magic ;)
@@Dayvit78 Some skills require specific mental powers that cannot be learned. It needs to be a born genius to be able to master them. I do not claim that other magicians use real magic, as there is no such thing as real magic. While I fully understand the steps, I would be incapable of performing them nowhere close to that speed and confidence as I saw in the video (and most likely I would make a mistake somewhere). Many "magic moves" do not require special skills, just practice. But this is not just practice, it is about being a genius. Comparable to top musicians who master their instrument in a way that the vast majority of fairly good players never achieve, even if they practice for decades. Some people have a gift to play the violin like nobody else, some people have other gifts. Some of us, like me, have none. 🙂 But that does not mean we cannot enjoy and appreciate performances by those who have them.
I don't think it's 100% skill, the trick with the invisible ink is a magic trick. I suspect the secret is when penn says blown away
@@erikziak1249not trying to discredit i myself think the trick was nice. but there ins't anything difficult in this trick. the most complicated part is 3:00 where you need to solve one face of the cube
It’s cool because we know how it’s done, but can’t replicate it, since we can’t “solve” the cube for the presentation.
That trick was great! What a wonderful experience for you, keep it up!
I know exactly how the whole trick works, but I'm all the more fascinated. Great job. I wish you every success in your future magic career :)
Such a great magician, I wish her the best at NYU.... John from New Jersey #1 Fan
I like how you merged Cardiograph and Cube magic
Great show! I’m no magician, so you definitely fooled me! Very good show! Very entertaining! You will do great things!
Hey, great job! Keep having imaginative fun! Keep creating.
That was actually awesome, I always find the Rubik’s cube ones interesting because of how “free” the choice is.
The color pick was a bit of a let down though. Even handling the cube behind her back, she knew exactly which color was picked, so the rest was just gimmicks and knowing how to solve a rubiks. Delivery was aweome though.
Truly amazing! ❤
Bravo Emma!
It was great meeting you in Vegas 🙌
That was spectacular
Fantastic performance and great trick. You fooled me and I hope to see more tricks in the future!!
I have a Rubik’s cube tattoo of which the pattern was taken from a cube magic act, so I always love seeing cube magic make it to the big stage! Awesome trick!
That’s so awesome!
That was an amazing trick! Amazing job! 😁
I watch this show a lot, some performances are more obvious, some are not, this one is not that obvious and require a lot of skill for sure. But what was the best for me in this act was actually that you didn't try to distract people with your appearance, you know a lot of magicians try to use some short skirts, tight outfits, some basic instincts etc. to distract people or just to get more attention to their (or assistant) body instead of the act itself and you focused on pure skill. Don't get me wrong here i think that you look stunning, but you didn't overused that, great act. Keep doing what you are doing and good luck with everything.
Even though I think I know how it was done, it still feels like real magic whenever anyone can handle a Rubik's Cube like that.
never change. always be humble as you are. don't throw your innocence for the evil world
Amazing performance
This was a great trick! Well done! 🔥
I love when a magic trick is not just a trick, but you actually have to be really good as well. There are a lot of tricks that can be learned in a few minutes. Those are fun and all, but this is not something you can learn without being proficient in cubing as well. Great job
Keep it up! I can’t wait to see how famous you get! You can also market and seek the tricks you devise. Good luck to you!
she had me fooled , stellar performance !!
Beautiful magic trick, Brava!
I loved your presentation, as others have said your cube skills are amazing. On second watch I could catch the face solve but you hid it very well in real time. You have a great future ahead of you and I know this isn’t the last time we will see you.
Great performance! Congrats 🎉
Bravo Emma! I started doing magic as a teenager and could never have done that performance, my stage fright was really bad. I ended up becoming a clown and doing comedy magic because the makeup and costuming made it easier for me to perform in front of people.
I did figure it out, but MAN I wanted her to win! The world needs more bright young magicians adding in new tricks! Cant wait to see you in the future!
You figured it out? How? What did she do, use disappearing /reappearing ink? And how did she know what color he picked?
@@John_Michael2000 I am unsure about the whole thing..
But what I DID notice was that sthe was only spinning one side. Only 4 colors to choose from.
From there it should be easy to remember the starting color and positions.
Or I can be wrong and look like a moron.
That’s a cool trick! Don’t feel bad for not fooling them, some of the greatest magicians I’ve seen didn’t fool them. These guys have been around this stuff for two times longer than you’ve been alive. Great job
She didn't fool them because it was incredibly obvious what she did.
There wasn’t anything remotely good about this. She put it behind her back and rotated it the same way, knowing between the 4 colors by turn. Then she just cubed. This is maybe the dumbest “trick” I have ever seen
@@timcarter817 Completely agree. The only thing she was good at was casually putting the yellow on the bottom while talking to Penn.
@@ricardovela2455 How did she make the yellow appear at 4:45?
@@TommonSensePro She already had the image of the cube drawn in the notebook prior to coming on stage with the white spaces of the bottom of the cube cut out.

keep up the great work, you are on the road to stardom.
