    FAQ
    An occasionally asked question: Did I lie to Penn & Teller?
    No.
    During the performance there are 2 people that know how the trick is done. Me (obviously) and Mike Close. Mike is the magic consultant for the show, and for lack of a better way to put it, Fooler judge and referee for the show. He is the person Penn & Teller are talking with when they are trying to figure out the trick while Alyson and I chat. If I were to have lied, the cameras would stop and I'd be called out for it.
    The pea was in the walnut.
    So why did P & T ask about the handkerchief?
    My guess is to eliminate that possible method for the TV audience.
    So why did I use the handkerchief?
    When the walnut is cracked open in addition to shell fragments going everywhere, sometimes the signed pea flies off the table. It's rare, but it happens. Watching three grown men search for a signed cork pea would not make for good television.
    Could Penn or Teller have cracked open the walnut?
    Yes, but given the time constraints of TV, and the need to expedite the process, I did.

    • @PugFaceMedia
      @PugFaceMedia 14 дней назад +2

      It wouldn't have mattered. The metal cup was empty at that point. He hid the pea in his hand, then when he took the wallet out of his pocket, he took out the walnut shell with a pre-carved hole in it. Then he popped the pea into the walnut. When he brings his hand from below the table, you can see him insert the walnut into the cup.

It's like mental misdirection. It basically keeps you from being complacent so that when he goes to pull the wallet out, you're not like "uh oh, he's doing something weird now...." the whole trick is full of odd, distracting moments.

    Here’s my guess on how he did the last trick! It’s actually really simple.
    At 3:44 he uses sleight of hand to take the pea. Underneath the table is a secret compartment where the nut already is, most likely in two halves and pre-glued for easy assembly. At 4:37 he hides his hands for a few seconds and puts the pea inside the nut. Then at 4:51 he moves the shot glass closer to him, and as it switches hands he places the nut underneath it.

      While absolutely true, I can't help but think that shaky hands would actually make it a bit harder for someone to notice a move. If they're always making those little movements, it's really hard to tell what's nerves and what's concealing some sleight of hand.

    • @arnabkar8792

That is when he slipped the palmed pea into the nut. You can tell the nut is split by the way he holds it together even when setting it on the cloth. He doesn't release the nut until it's covered. He then really tries to smash the nut so that it breaks in more than one spot to not show the split down the middle.

    -Knuckles are tucked in on his last 3 fingers for holding the pea in between the fingers.
    -using quick slight of hand while moving the shells around, he slightly lifts the shells releasing the pea then catching with his tucked fingers. when the pea is released its always directly behind the shell and caught immediately by his fingers. hard to see through cameras even in slow mo.
    -for the last trick he released the pea from the shell/glass right before moving it to the front corner. he then has the pea in hand till he puts its in the closed shell under the table before grabbing the wallet. he then moves the silver cup to the back corner places the closed shell that he pulled from underneath the table under the cup. with said pea inside.
    sleight of hand was top tier

    You know, I've spent the better part of 2 days looking at Penn and Teller Fool Us routines...
    Some segments are better than others, but what really sets some of the performances apart aren't whether or not they fool Pen or Teller, which is usually great to see in its own right. But rather, you know you see a great magician when they are genuinely passionate about what they do and are excited to be on a stage to share it with two other magicians they clearly admire and respect. Just look at him celebrate when he wins the trophy!
    I don't care very much for the egotistical types who are looking for glory, and this guy strikes me as a seasoned, well-adjusted performer, who has a great sense of humor, and a great act; even prompting Penn (one of the loudest and most refined stage personas I've seen in magic) to state "what a great routine, great routine" at 9:10. Cheers, Doc!

    You seem to have grasped the most important thing about being a magician. Magicians are entertainers first and foremost. Some magic performers get lost in the technical skill of their routine and forget to be entertaining. Others are great entertainers, but lack the skill to amaze with their magic. With you, the skill and the entertainment just naturally flow together, and it makes the whole act very entertaining and very impressive at the same time. Only very few people manage to do both well.

    He is removing the pea by just slightly lifting the shell as he moves glass and shell towards the front (3:52), then he places the pea in a shell prepared with glue when he takes down both hands (3:36) and reaches for his wallet. The whole nut is placed under the cup when he removes the cup and moves it to the right (4:48) you can clearly see how he is cupping his hand over the opening and tilting the cup slightly forward. folding over the cloth to crush the nut hides possible hiccups when breaking the shells.

    Just goes to show, so many times Magic Greats like Penn and Teller have been fooled by simple piece of slight of hand - only because the person was a great showman and really fun, such that it all just blends in. Great watch.

    Crazy good slight of hand. For the first round I had to watch it in slow motion more than once to see how he did that. Didn't even bother with the rest. Well played sir.
