Watch me try to fool Penn & Teller while at the same time scare the crap out of Alyson Hannigan! #magic #pennandteller #foolus #pennandtellerfoolus #mentalism #apolloriego
Check out some behind-the-scenes footage and see what it’s like to be a contestant on Penn & Teller: Fool Us! ruclips.net/video/fszAaAuXfZI/видео.html
I love how Penn allways takes time to compliment the magician, even if he and Teller were not fooled
That's one of the things I love about this show. First and foremost, it's two of the world's best magicians enjoying other people perform their craft. It's a competition show second.
Yes! I love how they always show respect for skill and showmanship, regardless of whether they were actually fooled.
Hey, they selected the contestants to be on their show. If they had bad contestants that would lower the quality of their show :)
Especially when they are not fooled. I've seen when they are fooled, calling the magician a rat bastard.
Very solid performance. I love how on this show the magicians acknowledge the "Yeah, you got me." moment.
Nice performance and showmanship. Very proud of you. Keep it up Son👍
Thanks Pa 🙏🏽
Considering this is like the fifth time a variation of this act has been performed on fool us, it's not a surprise that it did not fool. The fake injuries were a nice addition though.
Congrats Apollo, I'm glad you had this opportunity. You seem like a good person.
Thanks Matt! Lord knows I try to be 😅
I’ll be doing a behind the scenes and commentary about my performance in the next video! Subscribe to stay updated! I also love of your theories on how it’s actually done! Keep ‘em coming! Thank you all!
Key words were "choice of magicians", i.e. "magician's choice" and "marked". You know which envelope contains the blade and since it can appear in the assistant's hands at various stages, you have multiple scenarios for each of them.
Great trick! I'm glad you thought about safety first and had Allison wear those glasses. 😁
Fabulous stage presence and presentation! I hope this isn't the last time I see you work your magic.
Wow thank you! Yes I’m definitely working on some new projects right now! Hope you’re subbed 😄
Well done, Apollo! Keep it up, my man.
Much appreciated! Will do!
Cool performance and congrats getting onto such a coveted stage!! Hope to see your name around more
Fantastic performance 👍😊👍😊
Many thanks Robert!
Nice act! Please be careful out there. There are versions of this very trick (with knives or spikes) which have gone wrong, as you pointed out in your intro.
Baffling! With Alyson selecting the envelopes I see no way this could be done!
Filipinos love danger! So proud that a fellow Filipino performs on fool us! I hope you try again to fool them!
Salamat kababayan!
So good! Really enjoyed this so much!
So glad you enjoyed it! I love your stuff Mahdi!
I was REALLY hoping when he said to open the last envelope, that the blade wouldn't have been in there.
This looks like a variation of the trick in which a spike is concealed in a paper bag. I once saw a video of that gone wrong.
2:46 is where the magic start 🙂
wrong
Yes! Thank you for representing and showing the talent of Filipinos! 🇵🇭 You certainly got me fooled. Keep it up dude, you're awesome.
Thank you so much! It’s an honor to rep our people!
I’m all for any magic that creates some legitimate risk. Even it’s all decent.
That was great man, really enjoyed, hope to see more from you
Thank you! More to come!
You presentation and the script in general :-) were mesmerising
Much appreciated 😊
My thoughts are either:
A) every envelope had a foil disc in it that was smashable, the grapefruit demonstration at the beginning was just a ploy, or
B) envelopes were marked a lá the traditional smashing your hand on a Styrofoam cup trick
I initially thought of putting foil blades in every envelope to sort of, throw them off but the handling got too complicated for my taste so I just stuck to my original Deliberation method.
I didn't see the switch, nicely done... really tried to follow from start to finish... Didn't expect so much freedom for Alison
Allison: "yeah, but..."
Wow i watched the video sins you uploaded and still don't know how you change my 20 dollars bill for a dollar and come back to my 20 you are so good
Yes! That was in Abracadabra NYC! Love your content brother!
Jam! I mean, damn! Good show.
Thanks Jayson! 🙏🏽
YES PROUD HERE FROM PHILIPPINES
Awesome! Salamat!
Great work Brody 🙌🏽
Thanks bro🙏
Congrats Apollo nice to see a performance that isn't just about being funny. Keep at it brother ✨
Thanks so much🙏🏽
I think it was Harry Houdini who said "I would never do anything more dangerous than sitting in my living room". I know P&T say something similar...but you sure made that look dangerous and defo fooled me. Wonderful illusion/trick.
P&T think it's morally wrong to put actual danger into an act, and they won't allow it on the show. I respect that. This was a great trick, though. Very well presented, and the strawberry jam at the end was a fun twist.
@@davidwalter2002 There is a wonderful trick/illusion P&T did on the Connan show where they use razor blades. I do know how they did it but I would highly recommend it as a perfect example of how you can do something that looks really dangerous but in fact...it is "no more dangerous than sitting in your living room" 😉....thanks for reply.
@@dazuk1969 I vaguely remember that one, gonna (re)watch it right now, but when I think about seemingly dangerous magic acts from P&T I always remember the "catching a bullet with their teeth" one. I loved that one, and from what I remember it's what brought me to P&T.
@@nero3700 Yeah, Penn & Teller will do seemingly dangerous, but not actually dangerous tricks.
Apollo !!!! Congrats ! Proud of you 🎉🎉
Thank you! 🙏🏽
I love her "oh great"
Hey bro nice job. I'm also from Rogue magic shop. Keep it up
Awesome! Thank you!🙏🏽
Can't believe Penn was fooled by that old classic
It's possible he said that to get the "if you had your choice of magicians" in.
Yep. 1:56 He never put the blade in the envelope, and if I can see it from here, p and t could from there.
@@oneanddone7992 The blade was in there. The envelope with the blade in it was marked. He gave Alyson mirrored glasses so he could see which one was marked.
Yes he did. Then Alyson put it in later.
He was thrown off because I used an alternate method and threw a couple of red herrings in there…
I think you used the common trick of "illusion of free will". Most likely you swapped the blade, it was never in any of the envelopes, because when you let her pick for you, this is where things can go wrong if you reall let her pick, altho it was unclear to me if she should have lowered the one you going to smash or the one that has blade in it, so maybe it was multiple outs.
strawberry jam was a nice touch tho.
The blade was most definitely in one of the envelopes and I was in REAL danger if I had the slightest brain fog. It wouldn’t have been strawberry jam squirting out if I hit the wrong one 😅
This guy is fucking awesome
I appreciate it! 🙏🏽
mentioning blood and i'm thinking of Teller's art direction for MacBeth at the Folger here in DC :)
apollo ascending from sansminds
That’s my boyyyyyyyyyyyy. Yea Apollo
Great one, at least you got one fool , good performance
Thanks Frank!
Sometimes I understand Penn's code words and sometimes I don't. I think I got this one.
"Marked"
Great work buddy! We gotta hang out again! It’s Ray btw xD
Polaroid reflection was the key :) search polaroid. To see marks you cant see by usual unless you use this type of glasses. Notice allison's glasses.
That was the red herring but Teller didn’t fall for it. The method is a lot simpler than that…
Good job! That was entertaining! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!🙏🏽
All he needed to do was to look at the small width difference that has the blade in the envelope.
Aha!!!!
Email me at info@apolloriego.com i’m gonna send you a free gift!
@@apolloriegomagic Oh really? If I emailed you, how would you know it was from me? And whats the gift?
Well you’re the only one who got the method so I want to send you some magic tricks. I’ll give you different options. Also, I don’t get a lot of emails from my youtube viewers…
What does Allison have on today
One of the envelopes has a different color, not much different, but enough so he can see the difference. But the audience can’t see the difference
There are also Infrared Contact Lenses that can see luminous inks that are invisible to the naked eye. Combine that with the mirrored Safety Goggles Allison was wearing, just need one side of the envelope marked.
@@Terpe75 And a teleportation device.... nothing that fancy being used here.
love your story and work
Thank you!
Allisons preformance in this is amaxing and funny as heck
She was really fun to work with and super down to earth!
Great job my brotha! U always had that showmanship going 4 u, even back from when we worked 2gether at Marvin's Magic. I'm beyond proud of u man, and so proud 2 tell everyone..."I know that guy!"👍🏾
Are you too into performing arts?
Would love to see your work
Thanks so much! What’s your name? I miss the old Marvin’s Magic days!
💙🤍🙇🏻♂ @@apolloriegomagic Love and respects from India.
@@sailaab thank you so much! 🙏
Proud of you, bro! Congratulations! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks a lot Sef!🙏🏽
I know it's a trick, but it makes me nervous having someone else handle the props. Hopefully, he switched out the saw for a blunted one just in case...
The gloves are cut resistant
I prefer the "code talk" to just mention magician names, because I never know them.
You are amazing Apollo!
Thank you so much😊
Great performance Bro!
Congratulations!!!
Thanks bro! Glad you liked it!
Good trick!
Subscribed this was awesome.
Thank you 🙏🏽
Great performance. I was fooled.
Thank you 😄
Even if the envelope is marked he still had to go through all of them that Allison picked.
If one of the envelopes has the blade, he only smashes a single one. Watch the first envelope that he doesn't smash. Allison grabs two new ones, but doesn't put the first back on the stack with the others, it's off to the side a bit. He smashes both that round. The third round, you can see her pick it up in her left hand. And this time, he smashes only one, the one in her right hand.
@@Talenelgood eye
One envelope had a small "mark" on it so he knew the whole time
Nope…Teller got me on a technicality. There was a moment that was cut out of the performance where he and I had a conversation in the middle of the verdict…but Im not going to publicize what he said out of respect to my idols.
That’s my friend !
Hey long time no see! W.C. Bryant alumni here!
He used the lights to get the reflection in the envelope when he made Allison lower his arm his checking it to assured it.. ❤ great trick
Not the method I used but certainly very similar to the red herring I was pushing them towards.
awesoe
Cool shirt. I want one.

Would have been a much better trick if you can work a way for the helper to pick which envelope to put the blade in instead of one of your choice.
Congrats Apollo!!!!!
Thanks Reuben!
Congratulations
Thank you! Cool that we have the same last name!
omg that was killer!! ✨
Thanks LJ☺️
He knew it was there and if it were in the lower hand he would hit top and if on top he would hit bottom. No matter what she picks there is always a new empty envelope to smash and when she had 2 empty he smashed both knowing they were good if 1 were the blade he would have only smashed 1
Equivoque and marked envelopes
1 out of 2 for a 50% FOOLER? I'd call that a success 🙌
Thank you 🙏🏽
I'm guessing you have MUCH better tricks .. you're a GREAT performer!!
Good Luck next time.. get back on next season!!
even tho i knew the injuries were fake, as no actually dangerous magic is allowed on the show, the fake injuries were good for a good laugh, thanks!
Well…if I had a sudden lapse in judgment and hit the wrong one, that rotary blade would’ve definitely penetrated my skin. It almost happened to me during a trial run while smashing the envelope with grapefruits😅
I'm sure that the CW just loved him for blowing off their audience and doing a callout to us RUclipsrs instead!
Oh yeah😏
So the deadly blade was in the envelope with the crease in it... Good one
There were no creases on any of them beforehand. Alyson handled the envelopes with cut resistant gloves on so she just happened to crease one of the empty ones by accident.
Uy kababayan! Matagal na akong nanonood ng Penn and Teller masaya akong makakita ng isang Pinoy na pumunta sa kanila. Kamusta ka diyan!
Maraming salamat! Eto…magic gig dito, magic gig doon. Pa subscribe naman dyan kuya/ate hehe
@@apolloriegomagic Sige lodi subbed na! Ingat!
Lol, those are cast saw blades! Very harmless.
Yeah…I’m sure something that sharp won’t cut through flesh🤦♂️
So.. how did he do it?
New subscriber 😊
Thanks for subbing!🙏🏽
@@apolloriegomagic 👍👍
Great act, it's a shame that Teller had you sussed but, he's one of the greats, not much is going to get past him.
One thing no one mentioned is that you have lots of charisma and great stage presence. Sure, you're an excellent magician, but you could get up on stage and read out a booklet of instructions for a washing machine and people would still pay attention. You can't learn that, you either have it or you don't, and you have it in spades.
So keep going mate, though you didn't fool 'em, I think we'll be seeing a lot more of you. All the best from England.
Thank you so much! And yes I got more in store!
Future big time talent? I'd say, "he's got it".
I appreciate it brother! 🙏🏽
Nice performance, and great choice of trick to try and fool P&T given there is 2 very different ways of doing this, they had a 50/50 choice, unfortunately got it right!
This is probably one of the first time I seen when one of them were fooled and the other one wasn't
It was part of the coded message.
@@AveragePicker Yes, it was well played, though. 😎
There had to be a way for you to recognize which envelope had the blade in it, and it had to have something to do with the goggles, yes?
No. Goggles weren’t required.
I used the goggles as a red herring but Teller didn’t fall for it 😅
When he told her to lower the arm, that made me think it wasn't a magician's choice. But according to Penn and Teller, apparently it was. Magician's choice with marked envelopes is certainly the simplest way to do it. When she lowered an arm, I thought he had probably done it by switching the blade with something not dangerous instead, like a rubber blade with some kind of crust coating that could look real enough to Alison but not be dangerous when smashed. But according to Penn and Teller, he did it the other way.
Multiple outs, I think
@@YuriyDavygora If he used multiple outs, I don't think he would have said they solved it.
At 5:15 he tells her to lower a hand and she lowers her right hand as if he is intended to squash that envelope. Later at 5:30 he instead has her further lower that hand and squashes the left hand envelope.
I think the way he does it is by just saying "lower your hand" without clarifying if that indicates to use or exclude the lowered envelope. From there he can just pick whichever envelope he wants and count on the social pressure of a live performance to stop the person from correcting him on which envelope the participant intended, and in even the participant's mind it comes off as miscommunication rather than a force
@@rheawelsh4142 Yeah, clearly that's the magician's choice. But it's a risky one because one of the two options is more awkward. Doesn't look as natural. But it's a high risk/high reward because if he gets the more natural looking choice, the magician's choice is harder to detect.
🎈🎈👌👌👏👏👏👏👏👏
🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good thing she put the safety gloves on before going back onstage because if she did not put the safety gloves on before going back onstage then it would've gone badly when she tries to attempt to release the blade from the sixth envelope causing her to have a blade cut.
Yes…the producers and I made sure Alyson had on cut resistant gloves. Her safety came first.
maybe I have bad English, but I watched it thrice and still don't know the meaning to their codes
Mark... It is marked
@@trym2121 Yes but he only said Marked 26 times.. are you sure?
Damn... This performance was amazing, I got fooled by Apollo, even if he try personally to me, he will scare the shit of me with that, congratulations Apollo, keep it up and go for more
Thanks brother 🙏🏽
I know how he did it,
it's basic russian roulette
sometimes it works out, sometimes not
I have seen this similar trick done 1000x on this show .... it's not a romantic trick
Yeah…I wasn’t trying to hit on Alyson so why would it be romantic?
I jumped when I saw the red on your hand. I though you had messed up, and sliced your hand wide open.
Glad to scare ya! 😂😂😂
Wouldn’t Allison know by the weight?
Fair point but we’re not allowed to prearrange anything with Alyson or anyone for that matter. Stooging is not allowed on the show.
@@apolloriegomagic us of course, I just thought she might feel it when she held it
@@rachelclegg79 but yes the spectator does feel the weight difference. I usually fake them out by pretending to go for the one with the blade in it…it really freaks em out 🤣
@@apolloriegomagic well, ultimately it worked and it was amazing 🤩
I was only curious because I am new to magic and am very paranoid about anything I do being spotted immediately. So thank you for your reply 😊
@@rachelclegg79 cool if you ever have any questions about magic feel free to ask me on ig instagram.com/apolloriego?igshid=YTQwZjQ0NmI0OA==

Awesome
Thank you Michael🙏🏽
Incredible performance! I feel like he did fool both of them!! They owe him a trophy!!
Lol thanks bro!
Aww that was nice of Apollo to help Alyson to get the surgeon glasses out of her surgeon coat pocket for her but I wonder why he got the surgeon glasses out of her surgeon coat pocket for her I mean she could've done it herself like she could've just handed him the envelopes so she could get them out of her pocket, put them on and then Apollo gives her back the envelopes once her surgeon glasses were on.
Psychology says, no matter what happen,
Human nature will be greater than anyone,
ALLISON CHOOSE THE ENVELOP CAREFULLY FOR THE ACT, ALLISON IS A PROFESSIONAL, SHE DONT WANT ANY ACCIDENT HAPPEN
uy pinoy!
Yup! Proud Pinoy here!
so easy hahahaha but well done
