he fooled me when he made the circles into squares
+Jonas Hulse same
+Jonas Hulse Those are metal squares that are designed to look like circles until pressure is released from a point. Basically, it is a prop doing what it was made to do.
+OmniscientWarrior liar, it's magic!
Easy, All these squares make a circle!
@@Aarygon TFS Mr. Popo is awesome.
is it me or does he clearly give him his same dollar back lmao
It was to add an extra layer of confusion there was someone who added confusion by reciting a poem and it fooled penn and teller in the end with him also doing a couple other distractions as he went along
Ian Minogue his dollar is a gimmick dollar. Meaning it’s a prop for the illusion. Magicians could careless about breaking the laws of destroying bills
@@ianminogue942 wouldn't making a counterfeit bill be more of a crime than tearing a real one?
Nick Newcombe You can buy prop money that looks pretty close but says its fake on the bill itself
Ian Minogue lol no
Great job Blake!!! You've come a LONG way since practicing tricks on us in the kitchen. And I still haven't figured those out! True wizardry!
Are his mom our something?
+SeaK SMO >our
lol sorry
shaddup mum
If your his mom, poor choice of his name. Translates to: 'steal a bug' from Lithuanian
This is the alternate universe where steve-o becomes a magician
Love me a good potato quality video
You made my day
I love the constant complaining.
SAM BRICKELL It's what i'm good at. lol

i prefer poe-tah-toe
''Can someone in the audience trade a 1$ bill with me? Thank you. Now Penn & Teller can you please sign it? Thanks you. Ladies and gentlemen, in this trick I have performed, I have magically switched a counterfeit 1$ bill for 50$ from ebay.''
+evilkk3029 I see :P thx for the info. Although I don't understand what all the ''.......''s are for, it's not like if I was seriously debunking the trick or something, why are you being so awkward?
+evilkk3029 that I noticed right away...his bill was all new and the other guys was crumpled. He straightened it and returned it.
xD Hahaha ok this just made my day.
Yeah, I suppose he didn't want to deface money on national TV
K0DeX go
You're all discussing the dollar bill trick and I'm here still trying to know how the rings became squares!
I think it's a prop that has two configurations; one as a circle, another as a square. Notice how the the flat of the band changes orientation from one configuration to another. By twisting the band, it switches into the square configuration, like when rolling a rubber band.
all this circles make a square
all this circles make a square
all this circles make a square
That's not a real sentence
That's not a real sentence
That's not a real sentence
All your base are belong to us
All your base are belong to us

and I'm still wondering how does "Vogt" pronounced "Void"... shouldn't it be pronounced "Vog"
Look at 5:36-5:44 when Blake is trying to misdirect attention, Teller is staring straight at his hands the entire time, watching the trick happen. Then Teller turns and smiles at Penn, because he knows he wasn't fooled.
Good catch man
Wrong
@@stogie0608 wrong
I didn’t see anythubg
This act shows that putting on a good performance with a good trick is more important than fooling them. It’s such an amazing trick
put it at 1.25 speed to get rid off the drunk voices
U can thank me later
+kostas oikonomou can't do that on mobile :(
I see what u did there ^^
SILENCE!
THANK YOU
4:50 - You know you're doing a great job when you manage to get Penn's eyes to lite up like a little kid at Christmas!!!
This has become my favorite version of this classic piece of magic. So organic and clean. Good job Blake, hope to jam with you on some ideas soon!
It's my opinion that the best magic tricks are those that make people go "Woooah" in some form or other.
He got that reaction. And I enjoyed the trick. Of course it's impossible to make "whole" paper pass through itself to form a perfect ring, but like P&T said: He did it so well, with so much skill, that you can *watch* him do it and still fail to see it.
This is a win in my book.
Yup. Just pure raw talent. Talent taken so far, you can't distinguish it from magic. That's extremely impressive and entertaining.
well im writing this as im watching, and at 1:50 when he "borrows" the $1 bill from the audience member he swaps the bills and he just hands the guy back his own dollar bill that he was originally trying to volunteer for the trick. So the magician pulled out his dollar and then pretended to get a totally random bill, but in the end he used his own bill and gave the audience member his own money right back to him. idk if that necessarily does much for the trick since i only just started watching, but im assuming thats an important part of the trick. You can see Teller leaning out of his chair trying to see the move, since the magician does a good job of blocking their view of his swap
+Bbfishman yup, u are right.
+Bbfishman That's the first move. Good on you for spotting it, but try not to talk openly about method. The muggles hate that.
+Bbfishman Yup. Guy pulls out a perfect bill and audience member has a crumbled bill.
+Bbfishman yeah i noticed that right away too. his bill looked brand new. the black dude bill had some wear & he did a poor job of false swapping them.
+Bbfishman Explain to me how the trick was done on the fake bill, n0ob
I can't wait to scroll down to see all of the magic experts explain how the trick worked and that they could do it better.
He fooled the west of us. 8:39
+Lovethempeas lol you silly wabit
+Abraham Hernandez umm...wabbit has 2 b's...for fwuck sake...lol
+Lovethempeas
What happened to the host? He sounds so normal in other "Fool Us" episodes, but the past two I checked out, he's had that cwazy lisp.
+Rex Spaulding
Ross has always had an issue with the letter "R", it's nothing new.
I just assumed the East got the trick.
This is a really wonderful close-up trick. A total crowd-pleaser. Congrats!
SO awesome to see you on this show. We worked super briefly together at Ping Pong Productions in the edit bay for a day or two. Told my wife that I was working with this crazy magician kid who was the real talent behind the scenes...glad to get to show her who I was talking about!
My theory: He made a small tear in it at 4:17. I think you can actually hear the rip a bit at 4:18. Then at 4:23 when the camera zooms in, you can see he starts to hold the bill very carefully as if its torn, not to reveal the illusion. Then he slips the bill inside the other carefully at 4:24. And here's where the madness comes in. I think that he has some sort of really fast drying, really clear glue/or tape stuck on his fingers and he is pressing it on the bill to put it back together. But it's just a theory. A magic theory.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand cut!
this is why Penn said something about fingernails...because he used his fingernail to cut the bill
But if you can examine it after, it'd be pretty obvious if there was tape on it
Its not tape for sure. It must be some kind of glue.
2:03 I feel like he did something fishy like swap the two bills in his hand so that he could use his bill anyways
yeah ive seen it too xD did not fool us :p
so what. it didnt help him link them
+mikey caputo that means he has his own rigged bill..dumb shit
You do realize this man can do that with any bill. This is a competition all of the people on here use red herrings like that to try and trick Penn And Teller
I figured he just didn't want to actually break the law for his trick.
This wasn't really fair! If you didn't show P&T your prior methods, they would have been fooled. I'm blown away, too, that it ends clean, with a signed bill that can be examined, after all is said and done.
Not really sure why so many people are fixated on him not swapping the bills. That's just one element of the trick. Even with his own note, he still has to do something with 'seams' as Penn and Teller point out, right in front of their eyes, where they are unable to see him do it or feel the seams on the note afterwards.
Absolutely
Seems like in later seasons this would have earned a trophy, maybe I'm wrong. Great skill, great act.
the stereo effects on this video are amazing
Great trick, loved it. But something in this video went wrong in post. HIDIOUS audio. Good god.
1st world problems....🙄
@@turdferguson7112 fuck off Steve
"Hidious" grammar too.
so basically, the only reason they didn't get fooled is because he showed them at other shows... this is why a magician never reveals his secrets. they basically said he did the trick very well, and the only reason they weren't fooled is because he already showed them the trick.
Yup, he showed the trick, but he didn't know that Penn and Teller was an audience before. He said at 7:25. If he would have known they saw it, he would approach the magic differently.
Yeah. He said he's held on to that trick in particular for himself, but sadly that wasn't enough when it uses a lot of the same moves as his others, and he's shared those with Penn & Teller, and others. I'm sure he's happy with the exposure the show gives him.
They read david roth's coinwork: spellbound and knew pretty much how he did it, but david roth still "fooled them". Isn't this the same for blake?
Magicians code bro. He can tell other magicians his tricks, not muggles.
TK TrueKep No, he said "If I had known I would have been here, I would have handled that differently."
Excellent job Blake. As a fellow magician a loved watching your creative version of a classic. Very entertaining.
"You guys don't seem into it" funniest thing a magicians ever said
He makes a tear in one of the squares and covers it up with his hand the first time, as you can see him holding it very carefully around 4:24. At 4:44, you can see that he is still covering up the same place the tear was made (bottom left of the top "square"). The second time he links them, he uses some kind of glue or sealant that takes a while to dry. This is why he holds on the bills very tightly while stalling for time by asking Teller to accept responsibility, which takes around 30 seconds. By the time he finally hands Teller the bill, it's already been glued/sealed back together, so the seam is invisible.
Come close, closer, because the closer you think you are. The less you'll actually see.
Awesome piece of magic Blake. You Fooled me for sure! If you haven't already done so, I hope you release this to the magic community. Thumbs UP for sure!
Loveee this guy!!!! :))) ....0he has such a good soul!....mBlessings all the way from Monterrey, Mx!
That guy is always there.
Idk if I'm wrong but to me it looked like he switched which hand the dollar bill was in and gave him back the same one.
agreed
Chaotic Plays yeh I saw that it was obvious as his bill was straight and the mans bill was crumpled yeh he still had a straight one after the swap plus the guy took the bill from him and crumpled it in his hand so we couldn't we that it was the same one
Simply amazing! Love the style!
can't find the seams? uh he fooled P&T too in my book.
+knpstrr Just because they can't find it doesn't mean they don't know it is there.
OmniscientWarrior yeah... you can say that about any trick.
knpstrr nope. Like if you had a tear in your furniture, and you had a seamstress repair it. If they did a good job, you wouldn't be able to find where the tear was. Even though you know it was there and you know how they fixed it, you just can't find the seems.
OmniscientWarrior Nice try.
+knpstrr The thing about the show is you have to fool Penn and Teller. If they know how he did it, he did not fool them. Now, they could say that for each person that goes up there "Ah yes we know how you did it" but the talk they have with the guests is for them to confirm they know how the trick was done.
The bill swap in the audience was switched in his hands and he gives the man back his same dollar. The bill that teller rips is a normal bill. The bill that the magician rips is a rigged bill. The bill has a precise cut in a spot that would end up being the corner of his final ripped bill, he hides that cut corner with his fingers the whole time. When he connects the 2 bills he simply slides the other bill through the cut in the corner. The "welding" of the rigged bill is done in his hands after the final interlocking. I'm not exactly sure how that was done but maybe some type of glue.
+Kanye Twitty That is the whole trick, isn't it, welding paper? Hell if I know. And I know most of the tricks.
+Kanye Twitty BTW: Best user name evar :D
+Kanye Twitty Rubber cement?
Yea i was thinking something like that. I was actually thinking maybe glue stick glue, i think i remember it made pretty seamless edges with paper. I almost think he deserved to win because they couldn't find the seam. It's kinda like they said "we don't know how you did it but we know its a trick because you're on this show so you're busted". BTW thanks lol
+Kanye Twitty
Nice. I think the seal occurs during "look into the camera" - 5:39
"Because when you need to do the dirty work, we're staring at your hands." -- 5:36
"He does it so well that we can't see the seems but we saw the seems being made." -- We can't see where you glued it, but we saw you when you glued it.
Great trick ♥
Incredible - Archaeologists have been searching for the missing link for hundreds of years - and YOU have found it! Well done!
I went to school with Blake, he was always into magic and performing for others. Great job on the trick and keep up the great work. Glad to see you finally are able to take your love of magic to the next level. Congrats bud!
Didn't know Stev-o has a twin... guess his whole family is bizarre.
Wait, so Penn saw how he did it but can’t figure out how to undo it? Sounds like Blake fooled them to me.
loved the show, amazing work
That was a brilliant piece of work.
if you look at 2:00 while 2:04 in 0.25 speed, it's hard to see in the shitty quality but he doesn't swap the bills.
+Jordan Copeland you can clearly see him doing it lol... check at 2:03 that he put the bill from the guy between his middle and ring finger (he started to spread the finger while going to get the bill).
Then with the thumb of the left hand you can see him swiping the bill he always had to his left hand and pretend it's the guy's one.
I knew this from the beginning, but still .... how did he connect the 2 halves without making a noticeable seam? :D
permanent glue?
its a smart misdirect. Making them think he is using a random persons bill so that it isnt a "prop bill" that way he is able to have the seam set up perfectly while making them think he had done it right in front of them.
misdirection he din't switch the bill from the guy in the audience he actually gave him back his bill... slight of hand watch closely... ooohh for the trick he used his own fake bill
I hate trivks where you have to use fake and premade things... That just takes out the "skill" part of most of those tricks ...
is this actually what happened, it actually does look like the man just recieved his own crumpled bill back, I suppose the magician thought the crowd person would give them a clean crip bill out of courtesy but nope
Exactly
No that's not how it works. You notice Penn says "We don't have the hands and we don't have the FINGERNAILS" to create a paper version of the linking rings. It's the same bill, he just took one of the and cut a special seam with his finger nail that overlays and locks itself into place. The type of paper dollar bills use is woven so when it is cut thinly and at a jagged angle it can be "relock" at a seam so that you can pull on it with minor to moderate force that if it were to come apart you would think you had torn it. Brilliant and original.
then please tell me
This kid should be rich. He has helped other make a shit ton of cash. I hope he goes out and gets his own now. He is great.
Just wow!
Good looking dude, sharply dressed and great confidence! That is a winner, fantastic!
2:51 "More unique" that's magic right there.
I think you have to have a certain amount of charisma to gain the audiences respect as a magician and you did. And as for the trick, fantastic Blake. You deserved to go to Vegas...sorry you didn't fool them man.
That was really excellent magic and wonderful showmanship.
still a great act that pays homage to the classic linking rings trick
I genuinely thought Steve-O was on fool us due to the voice. It's crazy how similar they sound.
The trick was well worth the watch too, I loved his spin on classics.
Blake, you deserved to have fooled them.
Amazing hands.
I've bought a few of Blakes tricks and have yet to be disappointed. this one looks amazing
BLAKE I WAS YOUR RA IN COLLEGE AND YOU WERE AWESOME THEN AND ARE AWESOME NOW!!! Great work man, you rule!
He should've gotten that trophy! Not seeing the seam bc of his skill is the same as not seeing the sleight of hand they know is occurring in other tricks, and they've given trophies for that!
Also, this guy is SUPER cute lol
Yes! Watching at least a hundred of foolers in past few days (rabbit hole, don't ask), and seeing a handful of cheap tricks that accidentally fooled them, this young man deserves the trophy more.
You kinda sound like Steve-O! Awesome trick :)
Literally went to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed that hahaha
It's slowed down quite a bit, which helps as well. :P
Chevy Yeah Dude!!!
That was still an awesome effect! I thought you had them fooled Blake!
This is probably one of the best Didn't Fool Us
What happens... well putting it shortly, It's a rigged marker. The marker has a certain glue, the seam that was cut was in the middle of one of the signatures. He then spreads the thin layer of glue from the signature over the rest of the seam which takes place at 5:34 when Teller nods his head and then looks at Penn with that look. That look signals Penn and let's him know that Teller has figured it out.
I think you're right. Thanks
+Jonathyn Coughtry feel free to explain it then dumb fuck
Vogt pulls out a perfectly smooth bill, the audience guy pulls out a folded, crinkled one. Vogt then goes back to the stage with a perfectly smooth one again.
Yeah.
+Keenan Sears Yup, saw the same xD Its quit clear he swapped them
+Keenan Sears I just went back and watched, and I noticed that Blake gives the guy the same dollar bill back to him. Blake puts the smooth bill on top of the wrinkled one then pulls the smooth one away in his left hand, folds the wrinkled up and hands it back to the dude.
+smooze419 Yes I noticed that right away. It was his only chance to do "the dirty work" Penn was talking about.
Amazing work, Blake!!!
even magicians bow down to you, the inventor of tricks for magicians.
Didn't actually switch the bills at the start
It's great to see an original trick !
I'm not a budding magician or anything but from what I have observed watching this video multiple times which can slightly explain how he might've done it is:
1. Blake never exchanges the bill with Del Marlow (Yeah that's his real name, cool right?) which is pretty easy to spot.
2. At 5:20 or so Blake starts his little misdirection talking about federal laws and shit, that's when you start observing his hands and Teller's eyes, at precisely 5:39, Blake manages to tear one ring, slide the other and glue it (or whatever). While Penn's busy speaking for Teller, Teller spots the trick ignoring the misdirection and tells Penn right away and that's when Blake knows he's busted but he still puts up a great show for the rest of us. Great Job Blake, you're truly inspiring.
How is this not a fool? If they know how it's done and can't figure out how it was done... HOW IS THAT NOT A FOOL?!??
Thank you first minute of the video.... i now no when the flash is back on :D
I now know. Not I now no.
+Peter Blackham HAHHAHAAHHAH!!!!! comedy gold
Guys remember The Flash is on Tuesday October 6
Totally awesome. Much respect for this young man. I think his picture is in the dictionary under "hardworking".
that was brilliant. well done, man.
He sounds like Steve-O
+Chris Lombardi SAME!!!!!!!!!
amazing
That was Amazing!!! so talented
Wonderful trick and great presentation. I just want to keep watching it I couldn't care less about how he does it.
He never switches the bill
+MattMexor Penn implies and it could be done that he is simply a small seem in the bill he is holding during the trick. Some sort of adhesive is then used to mend that 'seam' and make it appear whole. The wizardry is in how effectively the guy does it. What makes the bill special is simply the way he manipulates it.
My only issue with that claim is objectively: we have no reason to necessarily assume the bill was special. P&T more than likely would be able to tell and would have called that out. All of this is basically going on the premise of: I presume he used a modified bill, therefore I will contort the evidence to fit my predetermined hypothesis. No big deal, it's just really we can't say. It's an assumption that it is.
This guy sounds like Steve-O if he had a Orchiectomy
Beautiful trick, nice performance - well done!!
"HE WOULD FOOL ANYONE IN THE WORLD!!" I love how defensive he got for the kid, haha!
When did Steve-O start doing magic?
Duuuudeeee.... righhhhtttt...
You fooled them. P&T are inconsistent with the award. You should have received the trophy.
Greg Francuz teller saw him put them together at 5:23. They were not fooled, like his act, the sleight of hand has already happened, he just talks for a bit to create the skit. They were impressed with how smooth he was
What I love the most is, there’s not a deck of cards in sight !
Pretty epic really. I did see something going on but not sure how you did it still. Great job man.
don't worry you already fool them on wizard wars ;)
Milo Oblong all grown up.
When he has teller repeat what he said he was doing his magic. His voice covered the ripping of the bill.
A little late, but; you still kept up with it by letting them keep the trick! Good stuff, hope to see you on there again (if you haven't already). Respect goes a long way here, it seems.
What in the hell is going on with the audio video? That fooled me
+Insomniac it's 2016 just change the speed to 1.5.
At first he's talking in my right ear, then my left, vise versa, it fooled me too
FYI, it is not illegal to destroy money. It IS illegal to alter money with the intention of passing it off t a different value, like trying to alter a $5 bill to pass as a $50. If destroying money were illegal, how would they have those penny press machines practically everywhere?
penny's don't fall under that law
+Marcos Valencia pennys
+Marcos Valencia pennies
Emers Lochingvyrr wow I'm dumb lol
+Marcos Valencia Then why are there also quarter press machines?
Love this. A magician's magician. You can see the respect.
He gave the guy his dollar back. Bad switch. Cmon.
He swapped the bills
The guy had a crumpled bill and the magic guy had a non folded one
he had a non folded one when he got back on stage
it literally has no effect on the trick
Boi isn't he on AGT right now?
yup
I think the main trick is how he could throw his voice from my left to right ear simultaneously
Fun fact Blake. Your dad Charles and I met in Indiana and he told me to check you out. Glad I did.
Not to trying to be mean but his voice is very unpleasant to listen to.
I think its just the quality of the video. johanthans voice is messed up too.
It's both. His voice is a little annoying and so is the audio
+Hunter Jensen it reminds me of Steve-O
+Anonymous Fapper true bro. It's fucking magic that Steve-O is still alive tbh
Really? I actually like his voice. He comes across as really genuine and it's easy to maintain interest
Did anyone actually watch the flash?
Every week when it's on
WhatAreYouBuyen yeah lmao
I did, all 4 seasons and waiting for the 5th season around the corner (50days from now)
Blake that was an amazing trick, great job!
Absolutely amazing! 👌👍
