....teller is a friggin master. He swipes the blade from Conan right when he starts spraying the shaving cream, then he holds the blade onto the knife blade, and plunges it into the grapefruit with that first stab.
One of the things I've always loved about Penn & Teller is the huge respect Penn always gives his partner. He always talks about how Teller is superior at slight of hand. It's nice to see that honest respect given to his partner.
@@Damaged7 They're both the brains behind the duo. Penn has written every single word he's ever spoken onstage. Teller writes none of the script whatsoever. They both collaborate on ideas and themes.
This is a masterclass in sleight of hand. The sheer artistry pulled off by Penn and Teller is nothing short of amazing. How Penn is able to keep your (and evidently Conan's) full attention while Teller performs some of the most incredible and slick sleights is mind blowing. I was able to meet them in 2015 after a show in Canada. They are the nicest, most inviting performers. Such a thrill watching them on stage. The way these two play off of each other and their chemistry, every show, easily explains why they are still so well renowned to this day.
Penn and Teller are some of the best illusionists of our time. The dynamic of the talkative and silent one is what allows them to maximise each other's strengths and play off of each other so well. While Penn is an amazing sleight of hands artist, Teller is the true master at it and while Teller is quite funny when he talks ( which is admitedly very rarely) Penn is a master of misdirection and he uses his larger than life physique and personna to distract the audience while Teller performs the tricks. There's a reason why they've had such long and illustrious careers to the point where they often break rules of magic just to show off their skills and still are able to not only impress, but also still surprise and trick their audience. I talked with them 20ish years ago on a trip to Vegas and just like you said, they are incredible people.
@@publicmail2 parent is making a reference to the classic Penn & Teller bit where they do cup & balls with clear plastic cups. Parent is correct that it is a classic example of misdirection, as is the juggling of the grapefruit a moment later. The signed blade is in Tellers' hand. It needs to be so that he can load it into the grapefruit with that first stab of the knife. Conan does not need to be shown that it is "OK to squeeze", because...of course it is. It's a magic trick. Slicing a talkshow host is a bad move professionally for magicians.
@@harryballz6740 I saw them in London four years ago. After the show, they ran out in front of the theater and gave autographs and took photos with every single audience member who wanted it. They do it after every show. They stand there for two hours, which is longer than their actual show, until everyone gets a chance to meet them. They only leave once everyone is gone. They don't have to do it. But they're legends.
It's similar to how Alex Horne is known as Little Alex Horne, even though he's 6"2, because he's comedic partners with Greg Davies (who is 6"8). Greg looks like a generally normal sized man without any reference sizes, so anyone who stands next to him just looks tiny
I'll never forget walking through Washington's house at like 14 years old and having to duck to get through all the doorframes. 1776 is less than 250 years ago and it was so bizarre to walk through this mythological man's home and feel like a giant at maybe 6 ft tall. Super bizarre how much humans have changed in such a brief span of time
The trick was done well. Using razors throws the people off with the "danger" element as a distraction psychologically and plus the are very responsive to magnets. Shaving cream was also whimsical as a humorous antidote that keeps the crowd happy and easy. Genius...
5:21 you can see teller holding the razor blade with his thumb against the knife when he makes the first cut, he lets go of the razor blade and puts it in place before turning it at an angle where the making the final cut would expose it, pretty cool
@Some Person he shook with his left because he was holding another razor blade to do the trick where he pulled out the blade from Conan's ear at the end.
@@lukeyluke9977 yeah, he had the blade against the knife to put it into the fruit, at the end he shakes with his left cause his right is reaching in his pocket for the last razor blade for the final out of the ear bit, Conan kind of ruined it when he turned to shake Teller's hand by turning the attention to him as Penn was misdirecting xD though the coin (or razor) out of the ear was more of a gag than a trick, everyone knows that one anyway so it doesn't matter
@@MartinDolan Exactly. There are two very very very very very slightly unnatural movements of Teller. In the beginning he's holding the can too far over the hand for spraying. That's when he uses the magnet to pick the blade. After spraying he puts the can into his left hand, grabs the blade with his right hand and puts it into his jacket. But even if you know how the trick works after watching it half a dozen times, it's great, creative and artistic. The illusion works, and it is even more impressive when you see how nearly seamless the manipulation fits into the natural movement of the hands.
Their act is genius. They certainly got some inspiration from The Amazing Randy, who was also very fond of the skepticism and "magic isn't real" sort of thing
That was some seriously smooth misdirection from Teller, he insert the razor blade by stabbing the grapefruit first, then cuts at a different angle. He makes it look so natural.
For those wondering how he got the blade out, the can is magnetic. If you notice teller passes the can over the blade before he starts spraying it. Then watch his hand and the can. After which he loads the blade and when he turns over the grapefruit he's rolling it back to insert the blade into it moments before he cuts it open.
I was gonna write a comment about how cheap those tricks were and then, all of a sudden, Teller pulls that razor blade from behind Conan's ear and I'm blown away.
4:31 - Probably a magnet on Teller's Creme bottle, just strong enough to lift the blade off of Conan's Hand. Then you can see the subtle finger movements of Teller's right hand moving the blade towards his palm.
how did conan let the "were going to be cutting into this grapefruit, which btw has the same consistency as cutting into human flesh" line slide without a comment loll
4:31 teller get the blades secretly to conans hand 4:36 you can see teller getting the blade on the side of the bottle and put it in his pocket 5:06 teller get the knife together with the blade and stick the blade on the side of the knife(thats why his thumb is on the side of the blade of the knife) 5:27 teller stick the knife to the orange so the blade will get inside of the orange
The opening joke of them sneaking into the brain and popping up and down it's just so funny. Great comedian sometimes defined by their ability to find a joke in the simple basic stuff, the boring stuff we take for granted like an introduction
On a boardwalk in NJ I saw a street magician produce a tightly rolled 20 that was signed in this manner from an orange he cut into and to this day I think it was the most incredible trick I've ever seen in person
I love how Conan goes for a handshake and teller shakes with his left hand and moments later... oh Conan you’ve got something behind your ear, let me use my right hand to pull a... RAZORBLAAADE!!
He pushed the razor blade into the orange when he first cut it with a knife. You can see him holding it with his thumb against the knife. That’s why he turned the orange around after the initial cut.
First cut put the razor into the grapefruit, 2nd cut pushed it down and then he flipped the fruit around to actually cut it in half to "reveal" the razorblade.
*do not read if u dont want to know how trick is done * 4:20 so c how he put on the edge of hand , the bottle that teller has , is picking the blade up, and Shaving cream is from Penns bottle. Tellers bottle is removing the blade, with a magnet on the side of the bottle, yes cream is coming out, but the blade is on the side of the can, u can c teller pulls the blade off the side of the can 4:33
I just realized they are like the Simon and Garfunkel of magic; one short genius who does all the work and one tall guy who coasts on being a phenomenal singer/talker. Edit: this was a joke, I love both S&G and P&T.
I feel nobody in the audience picked up Penn’s joke when he said about usually using razor blades and did a slicing action toward his wrist, then said “to shave hair”
Teller palms the razorblade out of the shaving cream (only reason both sprayed the cream). Puts it in his right pocket. You can see him holding the blade with his thumb against the knife blade (that he takes from his right pocket) and pushes it into grapefruit. You can see this is what he did, because after pushing the razorblade in, his thumb moves back to the normal position you have when holding a knife. Still very fun and funny. Especially the “that must be a familiar sensation” dig.
When Teller sprays the shaving foam in Conan's hand, he slips the blade into his hand holding it against the can. Then he puts yhe can down and puts the blade to his side. When he cuts into the grapefruit, youll notice he stabs the grapefruit with the knife first, then wipes and cuts yhe grapefruit. When ue stabs the grapefruit, thats when he plunges the blade into the fruit. Then he cuts it ipen, revealing the blade. Even if you look carefully, ots so hard to get it. Teller is truly the goat.
5:24 I think I've got it. Look at how Teller sticks the knife in. The razor blade was on the knife and he lodged it into the center for the later reveal.
Man, that foam joke, wow. Penn and Teller were so nonchalant about it, I'm still not sure whether they meant it the way it sounded (and the way Conan understood it too, lol).
teller had a magnet on his can of shaving cream. he presses it against the razor blade in conans hand. (hence the weird off center placement) and took it as they were filling Conan's hand.
At 4:28, it's very subtle but you can see Teller grab the blade before putting shaving cream on it. Then at 4:35 you can see him put it in his right pocket. At 5:00 you can see Teller reach into his right pocket to get the razor blade, and he gets out his knife, and he holds the razor blade against the knife blade with his thumb at 5:08. That's why his thumb doesn't leave the blade at all, until 5:26 when he stabs the orange and shoves the blade into it.
@4:30 the razor blade on the Conan's hand is lifted by a magnet hidden in the foam cans. When Conan is asked to squeeze his hand covered in foam, either Penn or Teller insert the signed blade into a slit (pre-cut) in the grapefruit. When Juggling, Conan says "stop" however The orange that is picked is always the one that has the blade because that is how they planned it. When the grapefruit is cut in half the blade is reveled and the illusion is complete.
I think Teller inserts the razorblade _after_ the grapefruit is chosen. You see Teller cutting an X shape into the grapefruit, then he stops cutting, shuffles his arms a little, wipes the knife on the handkerchief, then turns the X shaped cut away from the camera/audience. I think that's when he inserts the razorblade into the grapefruit, at 5:33, because you can see that Teller has one hand one the grapefruit, but he's shuffling that hand around a little.
What I love about Penn and Teller is that they don’t pretend to be mystic, like too many other magicians/illusionists. They know we’re not idiots, and so they don’t treat us like idiots. They recognize that we understand that this is all just a trick.
*do not read if u dont want to know how trick is done * 3:00 there is more then one razon blade in ,, u ever have tha blades stick together witch makes sence ,,, so if ther is 4 , and each has two stuck ,, then they end up with 8 at the end . ..
Obviously there's a ton of misdirection in this trick, but I really like the tactile misdirection they use on Conan. A razor blade is pretty light, but you'd still notice if it was removed from your palm. But the shaving cream on his hand distracts him from that sensation while also hiding Teller's sleight of hand. Very nice! Always more impressed when a magician can fool the volunteer on stage as well as the rest of the audience.
4:30 Teller takes it (you can see it in his hand afterwards) Even in slowmo, you cant acutally see when he takes it, so good. Teller later loads it onto the knifeblade 5:07 to then punch it into the orange at 5:23. Even though I know exactly how it works, I cant see Teller take the blade from Conans hand, because he hides it perfectly.
SPOILER ALERT: Teller took the blade out of his hand when he sprayed the foam...then put it in the grapefruit on the first cut of two....very very clever and he did it right in front of him. Teller is a master of slight of hand.
'This is not juggling, this is misdirection!'
Oh my god and it is! Teller is just calmly taking the razor out and pressing it to the knife blade. The ad reference lines up perfectly, too

i believe he applied an adhesive, and touches the blade with the can. you can see him pull it off the can and pocket it while penn gets conan to yell.
Yup. 5:01 Penn is juggling to get attention away from Teller doing stuff on his side and attaching the blade to the knife.

*owned a horse. He didn't know how to feed it.
5:07 Woah...teller not even shy about loading the blade onto the knife...
Power of misdirection from Penn
there's an important life lesson somewhere within that interaction. probably.
I think for Penn & Teller not even having to hide something is always their ultimate flex.

Good eye!
The most impressive part of this trick is the steal from Conan’s hand. It’s incredible!
Hence, the blade was placed near the edge of the palm. to make it easier.

That taller dude sold a book to Joey on Friends.. Didn't he? 😂
Man Penn is great with slight of hand. He'd divert the viewer away from the secret until the trick is done.
Penn is the ONLY guest Conan’s ever had who’s taller than him.
Okay, I guess I forgot about Shaq, who’s 7’1”, but Penn is probably number two tallest.
2:24 that face lmao
4:43 I love penns humor so much.
what did he say?
"Aaaaa... mmm!"
"That's a familiar sensation."
😂😂😂
Connan about ruined the ear trick teying to shake tellers hand lol!!!
Can see the moves but still so much fun to watch!
At 4:28, it's very subtle but you can see Teller grab the blade before putting shaving cream on it. Then at 4:35 you can see him put it in his right pocket. At 5:00 you can see Teller reach into his right pocket to get the razor blade, and he gets out his knife, and he holds the razor blade against the knife blade with his thumb at 5:08. That's why his thumb doesn't leave the blade at all, until 5:26 when he stabs the orange and shoves the blade into it.
Two of the best to ever do it
At 4:31 you see Teller take the razor away along the bottle and put it away into his pocket.
@4:30 the razor blade on the Conan's hand is lifted by a magnet hidden in the foam cans. When Conan is asked to squeeze his hand covered in foam, either Penn or Teller insert the signed blade into a slit (pre-cut) in the grapefruit. When Juggling, Conan says "stop" however The orange that is picked is always the one that has the blade because that is how they planned it. When the grapefruit is cut in half the blade is reveled and the illusion is complete.
I think Teller inserts the razorblade _after_ the grapefruit is chosen. You see Teller cutting an X shape into the grapefruit, then he stops cutting, shuffles his arms a little, wipes the knife on the handkerchief, then turns the X shaped cut away from the camera/audience. I think that's when he inserts the razorblade into the grapefruit, at 5:33, because you can see that Teller has one hand one the grapefruit, but he's shuffling that hand around a little.
Wow. Doing the 6 Card Repeat with razor baldes. So cool!
Wow. 3 legends in one room
What I love about Penn and Teller is that they don’t pretend to be mystic, like too many other magicians/illusionists. They know we’re not idiots, and so they don’t treat us like idiots. They recognize that we understand that this is all just a trick.
I dont know about yall but my quarantine conan binge is going swimmingly
3:18
“All I’m doing in this Trick is holding this here, I feel like a complete moron.”
Do you wanna try Palming the Razor Blades, Conando!?!?!?!?!?
Teller sure is slick.
Penn and Teller are National Treasures. I love these so much. No Homo
Sleight of hand with razor blades.. that's amazing!
Freakin love Penn and Teller
Thats a familiar sensation 🤣
*do not read if u dont want to know how trick is done *
3:00 there is more then one razon blade in ,, u ever have tha blades stick together witch makes sence ,,, so if ther is 4 , and each has two stuck ,, then they end up with 8 at the end . ..
Still really hard to see I've tried watching it over and over and i can't see the switch
Obviously there's a ton of misdirection in this trick, but I really like the tactile misdirection they use on Conan. A razor blade is pretty light, but you'd still notice if it was removed from your palm. But the shaving cream on his hand distracts him from that sensation while also hiding Teller's sleight of hand. Very nice! Always more impressed when a magician can fool the volunteer on stage as well as the rest of the audience.
4:30 Teller takes it (you can see it in his hand afterwards)
Even in slowmo, you cant acutally see when he takes it, so good.
Teller later loads it onto the knifeblade 5:07 to then punch it into the orange at 5:23.
Even though I know exactly how it works, I cant see Teller take the blade from Conans hand, because he hides it perfectly.
3:24 Conan looked like he really wanted to bite that grapefruit
SPOILER ALERT: Teller took the blade out of his hand when he sprayed the foam...then put it in the grapefruit on the first cut of two....very very clever and he did it right in front of him. Teller is a master of slight of hand.
