    Thank you to all who watched and subscribed and thank you for all the kind words 🙂
    For those calling out that it’s a different bill, they film something called “pick ups” which means they reshoot small moments after the fact. They reshot the moment Alyson signed the bill to get a closer look and used that shot - during the actual trick it was the same bill. Promise :) you can see the trick performed elsewhere on my channel.
    Thanks for all the love ❤️
    - Rachel

      The two college kids where they tried to fool Penn but not Teller.
      Penn: "I know with me and my partner, we do a lot of tricks together." (hints towards working with a partner)
      Penn: "I don't think we fooled you."
      Conner (Magician): "What do you think, Kenshin?"
      Kenshin (Magician): - raises from tarp with sign: "No" -

    I love how they can reveal to the magicians that they know the trick without telling the audience how it is done so that the magicians can continue to perform those tricks.

  • @ianweis3108

    Maybe not the most confounding trick in the show's history, but this does stand apart as the most confidently chill and natural performance I can recall seeing over the dozens I've watched -- with none of the nervous energy or awkward patter rhythms that sometimes understandably manifest under pressure.
    Really an achievement of which you and your father can both be proud. Well done.

      u know I was about to say this trick completely fooled me but then i had a “rubber duck” moment and I think I got it haha. One of those situations where the trick is so impossible theres really only one way left.
      That bring said I agree, one of the cleanest performances and the energy was just so great. They’re clearly a master entertainer which is the true game here.

    Your comedic timing and self-satisfied smugness is a difficult thing to pull off. Many try, but most cannot find the line between confronting the audience and welcoming them along. You did it, and it looked effortless. Your continuation of your character after the magic presentation was complete recalls Piff when he was on the show as a contestant. Never broke character, and basically snubbed P&T while they were critiquing him. You did the same. Perfect. I wouldn't doubt you've made a couple of new friends! Looking forward to seeing you collaborate with them.

      To quote Penn: "What really killed me... he's a real pro... he's prepared to be showbiz, he's prepared to be impressed, he's prepared to react. And he does my favorite thing you see in show business: which is when a guy who is *pretending* to do something, all of a sudden really does it."
      Really got that vibe from this laugh, she caught him off-guard and turned this familiar concept on its head :D

    This is the best "acting" i've ever seen on the show! Most magicians repeat the words of their script, but you're actually putting personality and real reactions! And P&T's laughter is the proof, it's rare to see them heartily crack up like that, congrats

    "the first thing you said when you came out is you always like to steal something and i dont think the audience noticed but right *here* on fool us... you were stealing something."
    "yes. yes i was. yeah ya got me"
    lmaooo
    the reason why people love p&t and why they are so timeless (you can watch their first tv special "go public" from 1985 and still love it and laugh) is because they put on a show, they have fun and they are so creative in their routines. i think we have here a new magician following in their footsteps. this is my favorite routine on fool us by FAR. its a classic trick done time and time again but yet so enjoyable to watch. i love everything you added to it. p&t love the bait and switched signed item gag and theyve done it a lot so its no wonder you didnt fool them but i love how you took it and you really really made them laugh like no one else has made them laugh.
