Yep, electromagnetic dice and or cup is what I believe he's hinting at. The rest is math, David Copperfield did this as a card trick thirty years ago on cbs. Still fun to see a new take on it
@@tobyfitzpatrick3914 I was thinking that would sorta be cheating. I think what happened is, somehow the color of those disks changed to whatever would give Teller a 2 pt advantage. The color of the disks were not revealed until after the m&ms were decided.
@tobyfitzpatrick3914 no I think he picked the two already but is doing the math in his head to see if he had another mathematical out or if there's a magnet that would have always changed it to two.
I feel the real magic here is the sleight-of-face to hide the arithmetic you're doing in your head while you talk. Loved the framing of the trick using concepts everyone can understand, Georgia Tech students are lucky to have someone who can demonstrate the concepts so cleanly and clearly.
This one took me a while to figure out. I immediately understood the interchangeability of the M&Ms... but, man, the disk colours really got me : ) Ended up coding up a little simulation to test a few variations and that let me see where the trick was. It's absolute genius once you figure it out. It's just such a shame that this superb trick didn't get through - especially when the '3 card monty' had previously won a fool-us trophy : / This trick deserved the win SO much more... but I don't think he should have mentioned mathematics quite so much. Without the unnecessary rationalisation, it would have been an absolute mind-bender. Almost felt like REAL magic for a moment.
I don't think Matt had to do the math in his head. When handing out the winner/loser stickers, he quickly looks at the back of the paper, where I believe he has all the variations to double-check the order of things and the number of things to add (this time I believe 1 green) during the magical moment of the trick
According to the company: "You can expect to receive 17 M&M's in a “Fun Size” bag of M&M's. You can also expect that to vary by 1 M&M. The lowest amount of M&M's you can expect to receive in a “Fun Size” bag is 15 M&M's. The highest amount of M&M's you can expect to receive in a “Fun Size” bag is 19 M&M's."
Yeah, that was a near-perfect magic trick. It's a shame we knew his background was in mathematics though... without that, it was an absolute mindbender. In fact, I doubt I would have figured it out if it wasn't for the math clue. That made me think about the interchangeability of the M&Ms and how the disk selection altered things... and once you start pondering, you can drill down and isolate the trick. Still, it's bloody impressive - really deserved the win.
Great performance Matt! Shame that they were not fooled 😥 I was definitely fooled even though I saw your lecture about this exact, or at least similar trick at The Session 2023 😅
They tend to get the complex, because they think that way. Some of the simple tricks fool them (check out Moxi fooling them with an over the counter trick deck - great performance, though).
With the only assumption that the M&M bags are all props with the same number of pieces of the same colors, I could make some math work, but there was still a few "random" things that would make the math more complicated than what I wanted to spend time thinking about this trick. Well done Sir.
Yeah at this point any time I see a magician give participants a choice of sealed and branded items I just assume they've been opened, fixed, and resealed.
No 1/4 of them where m&ms 1/4 where w&ws 1/4 are E&Es And 1/4 of them are 3&3s So 1/4 of 3&3 which is either 3 , 33 or 6 = .75 , 8,25 or 1.5 Therefore he didn't have 20 M&Ms As of 20 , 5 where true As of 20 , 10 weren't m&ms at all and couldn't be counted As of 20 , 5 where 3&3s which adds to the total by means of calculation Hence we can say he had either : A. 5.75 m&ms B. 13.25 m&ms C. 6.5 m&ms Or if all are true , he'd have 25.5 m&ms and 10 fake m&ms Which is a 1 in 2.55 chance to get a real m&m Hence why he knew teller would choose 2 because teller would forget the .55 . Therefore the dice was placed on 2 But there was 25.5 m&ms , only 20 where shown The 5.5 were hidden as it can help to restore the answer to 2 But wait , what where those colours? Probably 3 brown and 2.5 where blue or 3 So that the numbers either increased or decreased for each hand , where he would take slight of hand . He also used manipulated the colours so that the winner ( teller) gets brown and the loser ( penn) gets blue But wait , why did you read all this way for ? You must be crazy .
Well I immediately know this trick started with loaded M&M bags because there's zero way you get that many M&Ms in one of those Halloween candy sized bags.
Pause at 4:39 - Given what's on the table, you can distribute the M&M's any way you want and Teller always wins and the margin is always 2. The mechanics grip he used to open the candy package means he revealing his chosen candies, not a random set from inside a sealed bag. He knows what arrangement of candy to use because the electronic dice (available at any magic store) told him Teller's chosen number via a thumper. He did a great job though--his sleight of hand was great!
If l get this right he is saying that the dice told him what number was chosen and then he swapped the pack to match the difference. Any way this is pretty fun
@@edward9643 No no, teller chose the 2, but the dice 'told' the magician that it was in fact - 2. So from that point on he could set up the game as he wanted.
Not needed. You just have to pick the right pack of candy. In this case, 12 with winner colors and 8 with looser colors. If Teller had chosen another number, it would be a different pack of candy. And before that, the magician had guaranted that Teller would stay with the winner colors by the way he suggested the shuffle and distribution.
Man is way too much thinking for me to ruin the enjoyment of the trick. But I'm impressed they figured out it so fast. You can see at 5:04 Teller has turned into NASA super computer running all permutations in his head 😂
That was awesome. I was positive you had them fooled by the look on Teller's face knowing that he had chosen the 2. His mind was processing what was happening. I really like the cryptic style they give with the explanations of how it's done. Sorry mate that you didn't get through. You had me thoroughly fooled.
True. Teller never actually states whether he originally set the die to a 2 or not. We only know when he lifts the bowl it's on a 2. Watch his face as he lifts the bowl. I think Teller knew what happened but the audience doesn't.
BTW - the attempt at showing the digits of pi on that dome wall is wrong. It appears that the designers chopped off the right margin of a printed version of pi before making the graphic. Groups of 'n' digits are missed at regular intervals.
Nice one! I feel like this is one of those tricks that I could teach my 7 years old how to do. Not because it's easy, but because there is a lot of self-working math involved that he'd only need to adjust a few things. The only change I'd make is to change the dice with a loaded dice and make it a "random" roll under the cup. Very nice work! I loved it!
Amazing trick! 💚 Even when I'm good at math, even when I sat down I thought about possible ways of doing this... I stil don't see full picture (& I want to left it at this status). Matt, great job! :) Cheers from Poland
I really thought you fooled them, but they are indeed very knowledgeable (I hope that it is properly written) and it might the reason. Great trick, anyway... Congrats!
😮 great performance 👏🏼 totally fooled me. I could see the slight of hand for the cards to calculate the points for either side but the die is what totally throws me off.
@@bretth4988it was a gimmick dice, look up electronic dice or specifically “unifi dice.” That die comes with a bluetooth piece that produces a thump sound for whatever number is facing up.
They do, but they provide their explanation through analogy, metaphor, etc. in hopes that those who have figured out the trick (i.e. the performer) understand, and those who haven't don't. It's very rude and unprofessional to spoil someone else's work.
Huh. It sounded to me like Penn was hinting the dice was gimmicked with his "electric" comment, but I don't see why that would matter since Teller knew the number he chose before he placed it under the bowl.
The dice doesn't 'change' ... it just tells the magician which way up it is. The table 'reads' the dice electronically, and then informs the magician wirelessly - usually using a vibrating device placed on an arm or a leg. But, even when you know this - it's still one hell of a good trick. There are even dice that don't even need an under-table reader... they are charged wirelessly and send out a signal each time the top face changes using a tiny internal sensor. I have a set of two and they were quite expensive... once you take them out of their carrier they start signalling once the top face is unchanged for about 4 seconds. The benefit is that you can use them anywhere.
Normally math magic doesn't do much to *feel* magical. Even if I don't have the exact method, I can still feel the hint of something. This just feels flat-out impossible. If Teller had chosen a win by 6, how do you possibly force that? There's outs, like changing the rules so you lose a point for mismatches, but even so?! It's a brilliant trick and I loved it!
Observations: 1. I believe the Professor performs what is known as a "sloppy shuffle". It doesn’t matter how many times this is done before being told to stop. 2. With an eagle-eye, the Professor watches whether Teller cuts an odd or even number of cards. This will determine who he will ask to deal, knowing that Penn has already chosen to be the loser. 3. So, as Penn has chosen to be the loser, he will always be dealt the Brown, Red & Orange cards. If he is to be the winner, then _he_ would have been asked to deal, with Teller receiving these cards. 4. The mathematical magic is that now, no matter how Penn chooses to swap, _he will somehow always lose by two!_ 5. As Penn suggested, the die has been electronically set to flip to a two.
Strange to get the rules after P&T candy change. Matt knows the order of color of the discs that both will receive, Pretty sur he made a disguised Charly shuffle before. Give the distribution of the disc to Teller, why not to Penn (would have change the disc color they get)!!! Gimmicked electronic dice (with body response on wrist or ankle), the famous electric moment (about 300 euros in magic shop). Are we sure that all paquets of candy where diferent!! Possible multiple out, quite sur. But even if I'm in the right way, i'm not able to figure out the logical proceedure step by step. Good trick indeed. Loved it.
Very impressive trick, although being a bit of math nerd myself I figured it out. But to perform it and make the magic happen is another story. Nicely done.
Isn't that card trick in the intro mathieu's from the original series?... kinda rough to use a trick in your intro that a previous winner used on the show.
I’m pretty sure i know how this was done, and yet the part that fooled me wasn’t the math… it was the magic. I have no idea how you did the load of the inconsequential bits! You clapped first! How is that possible?!
@@CB-xr1eg The die is a known gimmick, but the color decks were new to me. Reminds me of those pucks they would give you when waiting for a table at a restaurant.
Please don’t massacre me if I missed where he said this. But Penn had 9 matches with blue and Teller had seven matches (4 brown, 2 orange, and 1 red) with the colors he had. Why did Teller win when having less matches than Penn? I thought Penn would win because he had more. I can’t find where the rule said.the guy with the LESS matches wins. Again I guess I missed it don’t kill me for this.
Teller had 9 points and Penn had 7, so my prediction was correct. It might have been confusing because the overhead camera shot puts Penn on the right, while the regular camera shot puts him on the left. I unfortunately didn't think about that reversal of perspective when I was rehearsing. ;-)
@@mattbaker4838 Ohhhhh!! I knew it was something stupid by me. No you did it perfectly. I just didn’t get that perspective right. Now that I re-watched it again, you were clearly speaking the name of each guy when you mentioned how many points they had. I think I was watching this with the sound low, because I was technically “at work” when I was watching this. Lol Thank you that was an awesome trick.
i had this guy at GT for a math class, and he's awesome! what a bunch of malarkey though! i want them to prove they understand the trick by writing a paper about it :D
She attaches herself to the fence using concealed rods she had prepared in her clothing before. She can stabilize herself and lift the lower section of the box. Tip it ober and shes out. This task was too effortless.
My guess is that he has multiple outs in the first phase. Like maybe mms of those colors don’t count or the first dics is double or something. He comes up with rules on the fly that result in a winner by six or less. The dice is the hard part. It could just be a dice that changes its face under the bowl. I think that was the hint. But that’s a bit lame.
I love Teller's look at 5:06. He knows he picked the 2, but has not yet shown us. He is already deep in thought trying to figure it out. 😎
I think you're wrong. He knows he _didn't_ pick the 2, and is wondering how it's gonna end up 'turning' into a two.
Yep, electromagnetic dice and or cup is what I believe he's hinting at. The rest is math, David Copperfield did this as a card trick thirty years ago on cbs. Still fun to see a new take on it

@@AgiHammerthiefalso, they come up with it together while the magician talks to the hostess. The length of the interview is edited down.

Go Jackets! Congrats on making it to the show. Penn and Teller have always been my favorite Magic duo. Hope to meet you one day!!
Had the honour of watching this Trick live !! it’s mind blowing ⚡️ And Matt is one of the kindest person you’ll ever meet.❤
"one of the kindest *person* ??
Yes. Matt Baker is a great guy.
was there a different margin?
Was able to vaguely understand how the trick worked untill the dice had two on it, had my jaw dropped.
Wow, crazy complex trick I'm guessing, so wild they figured it out geez. Love it!
They tend to get the complex, because they think that way. Some of the simple tricks fool them (check out Moxi fooling them with an over the counter trick deck - great performance, though).

Yeah at this point any time I see a magician give participants a choice of sealed and branded items I just assume they've been opened, fixed, and resealed.
Its like a shuffle resulting in a mixed deck. Why would you?
I saw how you cheated: 1/2 of the M&Ms were actually W&Ws.
No
1/4 of them where m&ms
1/4 where w&ws
1/4 are E&Es
And 1/4 of them are 3&3s
So 1/4 of 3&3 which is either 3 , 33 or 6
= .75 , 8,25 or 1.5
Therefore he didn't have 20 M&Ms
As of 20 , 5 where true
As of 20 , 10 weren't m&ms at all and couldn't be counted
As of 20 , 5 where 3&3s which adds to the total by means of calculation
Hence we can say he had either :
A. 5.75 m&ms
B. 13.25 m&ms
C. 6.5 m&ms
Or if all are true , he'd have 25.5 m&ms and 10 fake m&ms
Which is a 1 in 2.55 chance to get a real m&m
Hence why he knew teller would choose 2 because teller would forget the .55 .
Therefore the dice was placed on 2
But there was 25.5 m&ms , only 20 where shown
The 5.5 were hidden as it can help to restore the answer to 2
But wait , what where those colours?
Probably 3 brown and 2.5 where blue or 3
So that the numbers either increased or decreased for each hand , where he would take slight of hand . He also used manipulated the colours so that the winner ( teller) gets brown and the loser ( penn) gets blue
But wait , why did you read all this way for ? You must be crazy .
Well I immediately know this trick started with loaded M&M bags because there's zero way you get that many M&Ms in one of those Halloween candy sized bags.

Remember that Penn referred to that as an “electric” moment. Since Teller doesn’t speak on stage, it’s safe to assume the die was gimmicked.

A loaded die will not roll the same number every time. It just has more probability for a number.
Great and very smooth performance ! Congrats.
Bravo! Great performance!
Did you have a special connection with the people packing those M&Ms?!? I can't think of another way to do the trick. Very well done.

If he never spoke about equations or being a math teacher, they might not have guessed his technique
fabulous
I think the M&Ms poured out didn't come from the packet, he controlled that aspect and pocketed something.
I have no idea how that helped though.
I was waiting for Penn to say that Teller and him were “two peas in a pod” but he never said it.
Huh. It sounded to me like Penn was hinting the dice was gimmicked with his "electric" comment, but I don't see why that would matter since Teller knew the number he chose before he placed it under the bowl.

They mean the magician knew what number teller picked.

Rewatching and working the math, I've figured out a lot more about how this has to be done. but this is just so cool.
I can wrap my head around everything but the dice, if the magician had known the number It would all make sense, and yet he doesn't
@@arsenigold9470 Penn says "really an electric moment, when you revealed the dice", and I had the same conclusion when I first watched the trick.
Great trick. Pretty clever 🤓
Damn this was a good routine!
someone explain it to me.... i'm dumb. i cant figure out how this trick works ...
Observations:
1. I believe the Professor performs what is known as a "sloppy shuffle". It doesn’t matter how many times this is done before being told to stop.
2. With an eagle-eye, the Professor watches whether Teller cuts an odd or even number of cards. This will determine who he will ask to deal, knowing that Penn has already chosen to be the loser.
3. So, as Penn has chosen to be the loser, he will always be dealt the Brown, Red & Orange cards. If he is to be the winner, then _he_ would have been asked to deal, with Teller receiving these cards.
4. The mathematical magic is that now, no matter how Penn chooses to swap, _he will somehow always lose by two!_
5. As Penn suggested, the die has been electronically set to flip to a two.
What if you chose a 5? Would it then still flip to a 2? And if so, wouldn't that be a number not chosen by the participator and thus be invalid?
I don't actually think that the dice was electric, Teller obviously selected a number and put it under the bowl.
You can see Teller thinking hard when he blinks at 5:36
I really want to know how he did it

I’m pretty sure i know how this was done, and yet the part that fooled me wasn’t the math… it was the magic. I have no idea how you did the load of the inconsequential bits! You clapped first! How is that possible?!
Yep, me too. The word *electric* did it for me although I kinda had it figured out before then.
@@CB-xr1eg The die is a known gimmick, but the color decks were new to me. Reminds me of those pucks they would give you when waiting for a table at a restaurant.
Awesome trick!
Please don’t massacre me if I missed where he said this. But Penn had 9 matches with blue and Teller had seven matches (4 brown, 2 orange, and 1 red) with the colors he had. Why did Teller win when having less matches than Penn? I thought Penn would win because he had more. I can’t find where the rule said.the guy with the LESS matches wins. Again I guess I missed it don’t kill me for this.
I won't massacre you, but you have Penn and Teller mixed up. Teller won with 9 matches with blue vs Penn with 7 matches.
Teller had 9 points and Penn had 7, so my prediction was correct. It might have been confusing because the overhead camera shot puts Penn on the right, while the regular camera shot puts him on the left. I unfortunately didn't think about that reversal of perspective when I was rehearsing. ;-)
@@mattbaker4838 Ohhhhh!! I knew it was something stupid by me. No you did it perfectly. I just didn’t get that perspective right. Now that I re-watched it again, you were clearly speaking the name of each guy when you mentioned how many points they had. I think I was watching this with the sound low, because I was technically “at work” when I was watching this. Lol Thank you that was an awesome trick.
@@funlovingvoyeur thank you. For some reason I got the two guys mixed up in their seating positions. Thank you again.
If Teller had the TRUE pick of the dice... explain that ( not say N ) but ...
Teller could freely choose what number he wanted and the outcome of the game wouldn't have changed. What bag of candy was opened could have changed.
@@aaronanderson6958 the bag was chosen by Pen and BEFORE the dice pick.
i had this guy at GT for a math class, and he's awesome!
what a bunch of malarkey though! i want them to prove they understand the trick by writing a paper about it :D
She attaches herself to the fence using concealed rods she had prepared in her clothing before. She can stabilize herself and lift the lower section of the box. Tip it ober and shes out. This task was too effortless.
What the heck are you talking about? Fence? Clothing? box? You're obviously not describing the M&M trick the rest of us out here have just watched.
Even if Penn didn't give him the blues an swap for brown teller still would have won by 2
Hahah teller sitting there like how the hell hahah
Where is Allison?
Band camp
I have no idea what even happened
My guess is that he has multiple outs in the first phase. Like maybe mms of those colors don’t count or the first dics is double or something. He comes up with rules on the fly that result in a winner by six or less.
The dice is the hard part. It could just be a dice that changes its face under the bowl. I think that was the hint. But that’s a bit lame.
It looks cool. Really cool. But if the dice changed its value its lame. Hope it 2 was the real Teller's choice.
I promise that 2 was Teller's actual free choice.
@@mattbaker4838And he could choose any number? That's really amazing then. One of very few tricks that got me for so long.
The video popularity feed shows I'm not the only one skipping Brooke... I miss Alyson
A barbie doll is no substitute for the magical presence of Alyson.
Alyson was super cringy. Jonathan was the real deal.
Alyson didn’t have Jonathan’s charisma, but she still had her own quirky charm. The new lady has a raspy voice, can’t project, and seems robotic.
That is no Barbie doll.
oh my...,Brooke Burke
