Teller is too kind. He drank all milk just to act like a regular audience member, but I'm sure he knew the magician would spit out the milk. In fact I think he had Teller and Allison there because he thought he'd get Allison with the milk but not Teller, and then he'd get Teller with the cookie.
*Whenever Teller or Penn is called up to be a participant, they always go into "random audience" mode. They take that opportunity to examine things up close, but they will never embarrass or ruin someone's trick. That's not the spirit of the show.*
@I don't think so! that's the magic, it's a lot easier to notice things when you're not on the stage. If you're there yourself, you're not thinking clearly. that's how most magic is done, misdirection.
It was really effective misdirection. The actual trick of the cookie appearing was so unexpected and the moment the loading happens seems so natural and unrelated to anything. It's really quite brilliant. People rewatching this while looking for the loading will see it as the plain and simple action that it was and feel underwhelmed but the thing is, this is magic in its purest form. We all watched it happen plain as day and none of us caught it, even Penn and Teller. I will always be more impressed by magic like this than slick slight of hand or clever mechanical functions.
1. Simply BRILLIANT mis-direction! 2. YUUUGE 'kahunas' to attempt such a simple sleight in front of the masters themselves BUT, he pulled it off! And THAT is what "magic" is all about. BRAVO!
“I’m looking right at it and not seeing it. I'm riveted on what is going to happen with the glasses of milk. Focus creates blindness.” - Teller - Via Twitter
It's hard to believe that single simple move just fooled them!!! This proves that a trick does not need to be complicated in order to be effective... Nicely done.
Years later and this is still one of my most favorite 'Fool Us' performances. The misdirection was so strong yet so obvious in hindsight that you can't help but be in awe. It's beating P&T in their own game right in their faces. I can only imagine how hard they were kicking themselves after the show. Amazing 😄
First sensible comment i've read about this. Everyone is all "oh that was so easy to spot, I don't know how they missed it". When we can be sure most people can't and didn't catch it at first, even if indeed its so obvious IN HINDSIGHT. Awesome performance and well deserved trophy IMO.
I agree , this is so simple yet so incredible , his laugh is timed so right and is so organic. I honestly don't think anyone noticed it from the first time.
I have to say, that's one of the best foolings I've seen. If you watch it back, it's blindingly obvious, but first time it's so natural you never even see it.
Misdirection, misdirection, misdirection. That's all it is about, and that was one, if not the, best misdirection. This is a great act, and a fantastic misdirection that trapped the 2 men whose job is literally to not get trapped by it.
I don't think there's any doubt that they'd be able to see it watching it on video like this, it was more than obviously framed. The brilliance was behind using the well known predictable gag as distraction, they were just set off guard.
To be absolutely fair. We were given a prime angle and a close up. It's sort of hard to have your senses redirected by a magician when the camera starts shoving it in your face. Especially with this trick in particular. The camera was definitely not kind to this one.
What nobody is getting is that the gross-out factor is _part_ of the misdirection. An old master like Teller was probably in a (thinking 'that ain't a classy move for a magic act; he should leave that part out' and 'geez what's he going to do next, offer me the glass..?!') mood. Cognitively, it smothers the load.
I'm sure they did. The fact that Teller and the host are both looking at him the moment he does it, and doesn't even notice it, goes to show the brilliance of masking sleight of hand in the most mundane fashion such that you don't expect the sleight to be there at all.
The real key to this trick was bringing Teller on stage (Teller's better at spotting sleight of hand) and forcing him to his right by not breaking eye contact with Penn. Sneaky stuff. Very well planned and executed.
Excellent call. I agree 100%. Penn is more, like he said, Carney trash. Teller is more the "Magician". So having Teller right next to him caused Tellers POV to be from the magicians eyes rather than a spectator able to see the whole trick. Also I think he didn't invite Penn to join because Penn would've easily caught the cookie load at the end. Excellent catch my friend.
@@wowantonlavey You got it the other way around: Penn’s the misdirection specialist, though he’s no slouch at sleight-of-hand and other magic techniques. Penn was, in his own words, “carny trash” before Teller recruited him to be his partner. By Penn’s own admission, Teller is the superior magician of the two.
The funny thing is that it was dirty as crap. And they still missed it!! And Teller was staring at him from 5 inches! :D Second time you watch it you will never be able to miss it, he is just so clumsy. But it worked like a charm :) And
SO DIRTY! Teller just looked away at the wrong time because Chris started talking. He even thought they figured it out right away when Penn says let's talk about the cookie. Chris says, " You mean the one Teller just ate?" With a sly grin. He figured Penn saw it.
For sure, or my best guess at the nail. The Simon says, watch me. Now you go focus all attention on them and gives you a chance for "magic" its a beautiful set up for misdirection.
He actually seemed surprised to win, like he was just having fun and getting his name out there, but accidentally had superb presentation beyond what he expected lol
The timing and distraction in the trick were just perfect. Almost impossible to see in the first viewing, yet so easy after the second. Penn and teller must have kicked themselves for not noticing it if they re-watched the act. Well done!
They probably noticed it, but thought it was too obvious, a red herring, a misdirection to fool them into announcing it and then turning out it wasn't a load.
That move, yet so obvious, is so perfectly integrated in the whole performance and persona that not even Teller, being right next to him and literally staring at it, did catch it. That is impressive!
schwabentutorials Absolutely! It's blatantly obvious how he does it once you know the outcome, but he's so seamless in his act that you just never see it. Brilliant!

Fellas you forget that Penn and Teller can't rewatch the trick!! The load is obvious in hindsight but in the moment (and with some overthinking) it totally makes sense that they didn't catch it
@@giuliosusini1370 I don't think they missed it, I think it was so obvious that they took a chance that the guy was bluffing them and they only have one guess so they went for it.
It's their job to catch it and they are supposedly experts at it. What totally *doesn't* make sense is Penn's absurd "sleight of mouth" nonsense. Why can't people just admit that P&T screwed up instead of rationalizing it?
What's great about this is he makes the load-in immediately after making a joke. You're mind is in the process of understanding and laughing at the joke that it doesn't focus on the split second he makes the obvious move. It's the classic misdirect.
It was so obvious on my first time watching it that when it got to their guess, I thought it was going to be the nail that stumped them and not the cookie, despite the title of the video.
This was absolutely brilliant. Bringing Teller onto the stage to get him right up close and then distracting him with his disappointment over the milk hold: nothing short of genius. Don't let these other commenters get you down. Any magic move is easy to spot if you know what you're looking for and only watching for that one thing. You had 3 tricks, albeit simple tricks, running in just the right rhythm to confuse two of the best magicians in the world.
this is such a good trick for experience magicians - so so very simple, and he knew it would work because the nature of the show. so many people there are incredibly skilled enough to trick penn and teller with pure trickery, while chris just did a performance with such simplicity and believability that youd miss it the first time and anyone could overthink it
Perhaps it is the simplest of tricks that fool the masters as they are looking for the clever and the mundane passed over their eyes. Perhaps that was the biggest bluff of all.
Chris was too smooth with the presentation. The timing of where it falls in the routine is perfect. Right after they lost, so their guard is down. Incredible stuff!
While Teller is standing beside him, you can watch his eyes looking him up and down watching every little movement. That alone is fascinating to watch.
It took me FIVE rewatches to catch the cookie trick. FIVE! The fact that it was so obvious took BALLS and an insane amount of confidence in your natural poise and demeanour, which is well deserved, considering that Teller didn't even catch it, he was right next to you! Bravo dude, genuinely, that was well done
The trouble is that the trick comes in so early in the setup, and unless you know what he intends to do, there's no way you're looking for it. The trick is set up to misdirect from the actual structure of the trick.
Legit the best part of this trick, is Teller Literally watches the load, from a few inches away, and missed it, and i dont even know how he missed it lol
Just goes to show that no matter how quick, simple or obvious a method might be, it's the performance, misdirection and timing that make it magical. This is a simple, but beautifully timed, piece of misdirection. So beautiful that even P&T didn't know what to look for. Bravo sir 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One of the best parts of this is Teller not even raising an eyebrow at the suddenly flaming wallet. Almost like he expects wallets to do that every time.
I mean, it's a pretty straightforward magic shop gimmick, isn't it? Wouldn't be surprised to see a display selling them two for one as soon as you walk in the door. It's neat but kind of straight out of the box stuff, right? I like to think Teller saw the flames and was standing there wondering if it was _Acme's Flaming Wallet Gag_ or _Junior Magician Inc.'s Impress Your Friends_ box #4 while Allison reacts appropriately. Note to self: find out where to get one for myself.
Chris, I met you in 2014 when you did a corporate Christmas party for a company I worked for at the time. You gave me a deck of cards after blowing my mind. I just wanted you to know that I am now on my way to being a working magician 4 years later :) You inspired me, my friend. Much love!

Wow! He got lucky Penn wasn't looking when he did the misdirection part. I get why Alison and Teller wouldn't noticed but he's very lucky Penn missed it. Watching it on video it's easy to tell but in person I'm sure it's tough. Love seeing such a simple trick, executed well, fool them!
The trick is that he tells them the game is over, so Teller pays less attention for a short moment. Also the trick is so absurd, that the way he did it would not even register to Teller as an attempt at a sleight, but simply doing what is a perfectly reasonable thing to do in such a situation, after having spat out milk. Teller totally saw him doing the sleight, it just didn't register at all.
People complain about this? Sorry but that move is utterly superb and so natural, and Teller is looking right at him when he does it and he still doesn't see it! Bravo!
It was so egregiously obvious (on rewatch), yet they completely failed to register it because he tricked them into not expecting it Legit fooled them like kids with the simplest misdirection & sleight
Nice! Te move he used to load the cookie is so obvious and simple so they didn't even thought about it. Nicely done! Sometimes the simplest way is the best.
They thought about it. They know exactly how it's done it was their second guess but they only have one. A lot of magician uses red herring which made them overthink and guess wrong.
James Wilcox Yeah, that's what I was thinking! That took guts!!! So did risking the cash, since there was always the possibility that either one would catch on, and spit out both the milk and cookie! Talk about taking chances he never needed to take!
Imagine the faces of the other foolers when they see that this magician used such a simple technique in such a clever manner to fool P&T. But hey, a fooler is a fooler whether it’s a simple or complex trick. Good job sir! 👏
Yes, I watched it again, and it's the simplest thing in the world. I think of those other guys who practice their insane card tricks to try to fool P & T and, well, let's say tidying up was all that was needed.
Beautiful misdirection. Impressed that penn was Distracted for being far enough to see what he was doing with his hands and everything else he was doing
People in the comments that aren’t excited or happy for such a cool trick are people you shouldn’t invest time in. He fooled them, name of the game. It was a fun trick and he had a lot of skill to pull it off. Smile my guy, life is pretty cool
5:08 When he said "I'm sorry you just lost" He literally mean it cause that was when they, the whole audience and we all actually lost what he did😂 That was hell of a misdirection did in a brilliant way🔥
Why is this trick getting hate in the comments?? This is one of my all-time favorite Fool Us performances - the method may not be technically complicated, but the routine is *tons* of fun and it beautifully shows how even a simple method when performed with perfect timing and misdirection can fool even the best of the best. Amazing stuff, Chris Rose.
Smart and elegant in its simplicity. The brilliance of the false end of the the trick when teller fails to spit out the milk and lose $100 such that he lets his guard down and misses the 'load' was wonderful. The false ending shows very nicely how to manipulate the psychology of 'vigilance' so that simple sleights can be performed. Congrats!!
Yeah as soon as i looked back i saw it and it was very obvious, but that required me already knowing he was going to do that. First time i completely missed it. More psychology than slightly of hand
Everyone saying the load was obvious, the trick was easy... That's the point of magic being in ROUTINES. Any trick, standalone, would have been even more obvious and totally absent of fun. But because the audience and assistants got caught up in the act, they were fooled by the performance, not by the trick itself, because it's not about the trick itself. Chris himself says his magic is fun and childish, which was his biggest hint. He hid the trick within play. The game of it is what fooled them. And if any part fools them, Penn and Teller consider it a Fool. Deceptively simply and simply deceptive - that's both the fun and the beauty of this act. Good show!
But it's not a good routine if you spot the trick as it's happening. The load came off like unpracticed. He cheated toward Teller and his mouth opened before he covered... If Teller didn't catch the flash, he must have been seeing something completely different.
In my experience the more simple the trick, the more skilled the magician has to be. Anyone can pull off a forced card trick, this required lots of skill!
His biggest act of brilliance was to bring Teller up on stage. Penn's problem is he loves to get caught up in the story, and Teller would have absolutely caught that load.

Teller is too kind. He drank all milk just to act like a regular audience member, but I'm sure he knew the magician would spit out the milk.
In fact I think he had Teller and Allison there because he thought he'd get Allison with the milk but not Teller, and then he'd get Teller with the cookie.

Also, I think Penn wouldn't be that kind, he would spit the milk.
"Penn, you honestly scare me".

Really shocked these slight of hand masters couldn't get it.

Teller was staring right at him when he loaded the second cookie.
But it was covered and it looked natural.
Yeah, he was a tough one to get past.
I bet when they looked back at this they face-palmed so hard. Ha

Lmao
Nah. They like magic, they like magicians. They've said many times that fooling them isn't important, showing cool entertaining magic is.
Penn's weakness is that he always looks for the most complicated way.

I met you in 2014 when you did a corporate Christmas party for a company I worked for at the time. You gave me a deck of cards after blowing my mind. I just wanted you to know that I am now on my way to being a working magician 4 years later :) You inspired me, my friend.
Much love!
Matt L... that’s GREAT!! I’m so happy to hear you’ve been inspired. If you’d like to chat more about magic and if there is anything I can do to help you along your journey please get me your contact info via an email... Chris@ChrisRoseMagic.com.
Much love in return. CR
It's so simple but the misdirection was perfect.
Teller was looking right at him when he loaded the cookie... and he still fooled Penn and Teller!
Teller must have noticed it and thought it was a red herring.
@@praevasc4299 possibly
When you only get to watch it once it’s very hard to see but when you watch it a second time you see it right away.
You realize on the second watch what is coming, and that's there's very little opportunity to slip in the cookie.
I love how excited teller gets
Wow! He got lucky Penn wasn't looking when he did the misdirection part. I get why Alison and Teller wouldn't noticed but he's very lucky Penn missed it. Watching it on video it's easy to tell but in person I'm sure it's tough. Love seeing such a simple trick, executed well, fool them!
The trick is that he tells them the game is over, so Teller pays less attention for a short moment. Also the trick is so absurd, that the way he did it would not even register to Teller as an attempt at a sleight, but simply doing what is a perfectly reasonable thing to do in such a situation, after having spat out milk. Teller totally saw him doing the sleight, it just didn't register at all.
People complain about this? Sorry but that move is utterly superb and so natural, and Teller is looking right at him when he does it and he still doesn't see it! Bravo!
so simple yet they didn't catch it! love it!
I think Pen and Teller are so focused on seeing something complex that they forget to look at the simplest moves in magic
The guy also seems so well mannered, so him doing what he did kinda seemed normal and "aside from the trick".
This guy makes me happy. He's what I want to be when I'm a full grown adult
There are times when I feel like I haven't made it to "full grown adult" status yet.
Penn and Teller must have felt quite embarrassed when they watched this back
It was so egregiously obvious (on rewatch), yet they completely failed to register it because he tricked them into not expecting it
Legit fooled them like kids with the simplest misdirection & sleight
I'm sure they did
nah they just wanted him to perform for them in vegas , they liked his act
This is one of the purest examples of "simple, but effective" 👏
Once the milk is spit out, everyone thinks the trick is over. Then, no one is looking for the other shoe to drop.
It helps that he joked and made everyone laugh. Total defuse.
What you did to hide it was pretty sneaky, and polite.
honestly im more impressed by the nail
I like the look on Teller's face when he grabs the last cookie - "It's dry!!" Ah, when simple magic fools legends...
I feel like he was truly surprised that they didn’t catch him. Great act!
Nice! Te move he used to load the cookie is so obvious and simple so they didn't even thought about it. Nicely done! Sometimes the simplest way is the best.
They thought about it. They know exactly how it's done it was their second guess but they only have one. A lot of magician uses red herring which made them overthink and guess wrong.
yes true.....
How did he do it? I can't see it😔😔
Brilliant move right in front of Teller, looking right at the trick! Genius!
James Wilcox Yeah, that's what I was thinking! That took guts!!! So did risking the cash, since there was always the possibility that either one would catch on, and spit out both the milk and cookie! Talk about taking chances he never needed to take!
Imagine the faces of the other foolers when they see that this magician used such a simple technique in such a clever manner to fool P&T. But hey, a fooler is a fooler whether it’s a simple or complex trick. Good job sir! 👏
Yes, I watched it again, and it's the simplest thing in the world. I think of those other guys who practice their insane card tricks to try to fool P & T and, well, let's say tidying up was all that was needed.
can u tell me how?
@@davidg5423 If you still haven't figured it out, let's say he did the cleanup before the load this time.
Perfect distraction!!! I'm guessing Penn & Teller have already kicked themselves to death after rewatching this lol...great performance!!
Beautiful misdirection. Impressed that penn was Distracted for being far enough to see what he was doing with his hands and everything else he was doing
People in the comments that aren’t excited or happy for such a cool trick are people you shouldn’t invest time in. He fooled them, name of the game. It was a fun trick and he had a lot of skill to pull it off. Smile my guy, life is pretty cool
"How skilled are u with your mouth" Alison: "should we call up your wife"
LMAO It was slight of hand but it was so well performed they missed it.
I was half expecting Teller to spit out some milk too and be like " what bitch" LOL
Lolllll but not the cookie xD
I was hoping he would. That would have been great!
5:08 When he said "I'm sorry you just lost"
He literally mean it cause that was when they, the whole audience and we all actually lost what he did😂
That was hell of a misdirection did in a brilliant way🔥
Good catch. Looking for it it's obvious, but I didn't at the time.
Very simple and perfectly executed. The use of props was excellent and the misdirection brilliant. How they missed it is the real challenge.
Why is this trick getting hate in the comments?? This is one of my all-time favorite Fool Us performances - the method may not be technically complicated, but the routine is *tons* of fun and it beautifully shows how even a simple method when performed with perfect timing and misdirection can fool even the best of the best. Amazing stuff, Chris Rose.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a fun experience.
Hahahahaha, they were expecting a much sneakier trick! And Teller was looking right at you too. Beautifully done.
The simplicity is the beauty of it, it was executed so naturally!
Holy shit. It was too obvious to even realize. Why didn't I see that the first time.
Once you see it, it's totally in your face, but so nicely executed that you miss it.
This is still one of my favorite tricks ever on this show. The sheer courage to pull that off right in front of Teller is legendary!
Haha they probably felt very fooled when they saw the footage
So easy to spot when you watch it back
The load is obvious in retrospect, but the first time through, I didn't notice at all
It was so simple and obvious, they looked it over and couldn't figure it out. It's maybe the most brilliant trick on this show
This was an extremely simple trick, but well executed
Yes
Smart and elegant in its simplicity. The brilliance of the false end of the the trick when teller fails to spit out the milk and lose $100 such that he lets his guard down and misses the 'load' was wonderful. The false ending shows very nicely how to manipulate the psychology of 'vigilance' so that simple sleights can be performed. Congrats!!
Yeah as soon as i looked back i saw it and it was very obvious, but that required me already knowing he was going to do that. First time i completely missed it. More psychology than slightly of hand
This was actually so brilliant , the misdirection is so perfect .
Everyone saying the load was obvious, the trick was easy... That's the point of magic being in ROUTINES. Any trick, standalone, would have been even more obvious and totally absent of fun. But because the audience and assistants got caught up in the act, they were fooled by the performance, not by the trick itself, because it's not about the trick itself. Chris himself says his magic is fun and childish, which was his biggest hint. He hid the trick within play. The game of it is what fooled them. And if any part fools them, Penn and Teller consider it a Fool.
Deceptively simply and simply deceptive - that's both the fun and the beauty of this act. Good show!
But it's not a good routine if you spot the trick as it's happening. The load came off like unpracticed. He cheated toward Teller and his mouth opened before he covered... If Teller didn't catch the flash, he must have been seeing something completely different.
This is fake. There is no way any human can place an oreo inside their mouth and not eat it.
Lmfao
He did eat that.
Lee Anderson
He did eat it
he obviously had another cookie
I cannot eat oreos 😔
One way of beating someone smart is to do something so simple he will almost always overlook! Pretty clever I love it! XD
Spazzsticks it was a pretty cleaver, indeed
Abrahim Hussain damn! Hahaha i did not notice. I wrote that on mobile. I wasn't referring to a freaking butcher's knife! Hahaha
Can one of you message me cause I've watched it about 5 times and only have one theory but it doesn't feel correct.
When you rewatch it, it's so obvious, but that's the key, you don't watch the trick more than once.
The genius is how simply it really is.
My hat is off to you sir.
In my experience the more simple the trick, the more skilled the magician has to be. Anyone can pull off a forced card trick, this required lots of skill!
The simplest slight of hand but a nice distraction
Sometimes the simplest answer is the correct one. I imagine P&T were kicking themselves after realizing how simply it was performed. Well done!
His biggest act of brilliance was to bring Teller up on stage. Penn's problem is he loves to get caught up in the story, and Teller would have absolutely caught that load.
I spoke with Teller afterwards and he asked me to confirm his theory and responded “your misdirection was perfect”. That made my day.
Wow I can't believe he got away with that move! Talk about ballsy.
Total surprise for me too. I wasn’t expecting to fool them.
