"When I found out I was gonna work with magic legends Penn and Teller" "I got very excited." "I wanted to ask 'em all the questions they probably heard a million times, like," ""Well, how do you make this or that disappear?"" "Believe me, ever since "American Pie"" "people have asked me," ""Ooh, well, how did you make a certain flute disappear?"" "[laughter] Yeah." "Yep, even when I'm with my kids." "Good times." "Well, you're gonna have really good times with the next illusionists that we have tonight." "They're gonna put Penn and Teller to the test and try to win a spot performing in their famous show here in Las Vegas." "And now, for my next trick," "I'm gonna make the stars of our show appear." "Penn and Teller!" "[cheers and applause]" "♪♪" "Oh, thank you." "Take your seats." "All right, let's meet the first act that's gonna try to fool Penn and Teller."

"[cheers and applause]" " These next two magicians might be the Lennon and McCartney of magic, which means they're just a few years away from hating each other." "Welcome the harmonious duo David and Leeman." "[cheers and applause]" " Hey, hey." " Oh." " Restraining order." " Oh, right." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." " That's good." "Welcome, thank you very much." "Uh, we're very honored to be here tonight." "Uh, we knew we were gonna be on the show about three months ago, so, naturally, we are totally unprepared." " And I don't know if this is gonna work, but tonight we're gonna show you a rope trick." " But first, in a desperate attempt to fill time, we're gonna teach you some things with a deck of cards." " So if anybody has a deck of cards, feel free to bring it out, follow along." "We'll wait." "[laughter]" "Maybe just take notes." " Just take notes." "That sounds good." "[laughter]" "I will show you a professional version." " And I will show you the beginners version." " Here's the very first thing." "This is your classic in the hands riffle shuffle... and bridge." "A lot of people know this one." "In case you don't." "[laughter]" " It's a lot harder than it looks." " It's true." "It's true." "Here's something a little more difficult." "This is a one-handed shuffle." " Ooh." " All righty." "audience:" "Ooh." " Ooh." " It's also know as a lonely Saturday night." "[laughter]" " I can do some shuffles too." "This is how white people shuffle." " Mm-hmm, it's true." "[laughter]" " And this is how black people shuffle." " Mm-hmm." "[laughter]" " It's 'cause we're all the same, you bunch of racists." "[laughter]" " Looking for a punch line." " So full of hate." " Unbelievable." " And now... for a rope trick." " But first, a card stunt." "Uh, I need a volunteer." "Hi, uh--I'm gonna-- just right over here." "Lady, uh--hey, come over here." "For God sakes." "My God." "Hi, what's you're name?" " Stephanie." " Stephanie." "Stephanie, can you just step up here just for a second?" "Stephanie, can you just verify that all these cards are different." " Yes." " Go ahead and take out any card that you like." "It can be a random card." "It can be a favorite card, but don't show me." " And don't show me." " And don't even show the camera, okay?" " All right." " Stephanie, whenever you're ready put the card back into the deck." "Perfect." "Stephanie, you can have a seat." "Give Stephanie a hand for helping out." "Thank you very much, Stephanie." "[cheers and applause]" "Stephanie, in a second, this is what's gonna happen:" "I'm gonna squeeze the deck of cards, one card's gonna shoot out, it's gonna rotate 52 times in the air..." " I'll count." " Thank you." " And then I'm gonna catch your card..." "With my lips." " Whoa!" "[laughter]" " How do you feel about that, Stephanie?" " Good." "both:" "All right, she's into it." "All right." " I like it." " Here we go." " Drum roll, please." "[audience drum rolls]" " One, two, three." "[sucking in air]" " Whoa!" "Stephanie, what was the name of your card?" " Queen of hearts." " The queen of hearts." " The queen of hearts, ladies and gentlemen." "The queen of hearts." "[cheers and applause]" "I did it for you, Stephanie." "[laughter]" "I did it for you." " The queen of hearts?" " Oh, yeah." " Can I show 'em my thing?" " Of course." "No, no, no, no, no!" " It's different." "It's Vegas." "It's Vegas." " The queen of hearts!" " Yeah." "[cheers and applause]" "Nice." "And finally..." " For the moment you've all been waiting for." " To fulfill our contractual obligation to try to fool you," "Penn and Teller." "Scissors, please." " The cut and restored rope trick." "I don't know if this is gonna work." " Either way, don't blink." "[cheers and applause]" "Thank you very much." " You guys, you are wonderful and funny." "And you were both street performers that just happened to meet in line?" "Is that correct?" " Uh, yeah, we like to say we were street workers." " Oh, street workers, okay." " Yeah, with hearts of gold." " A little bit different." " Oh, I like that." "So this is just a professional relationship, right?" " Yeah, well, I mean, we've never hung out outside of performing." " Because I look at you guys and I just picture you guys as best fr--friends and you jump rope with this after the show, and... [laughter] But, no." " We were, like, four years into the relationship before we even shook hands." " Yeah, that's right." " Oh." "[laughter]" "Well, I think we've given them enough time, sirs." " Oh, we like duos." "We like duos very, very much." "And the being tied together with rope, we know that not only is that a good act, and not only is it symbolic, but it is also the way you actually feel." "I'm gonna tell you, being attached to someone else for your whole career, it's a living hell." "[laughter] Um, stage right is David." "Is that right?" " That's right." " And I consider you the Penn of the group." " I suppose, yeah, yeah." " You do most of the talking." " Yep." " And watching you work is great." "I like the guy that does most of the talking, but I think with-- and it's Leeman." "Is that right?" " Yep." " Uh, with Leeman and Teller, even though we do most of the talking, these guys have so much pull." "Don't you?" " That's true." " Don't you have a lot of pull?" " A lot of pull." " I mean, even though we're doing the talking, and we kind of propel the whole thing through, sometimes it's the other guy that has a pull." "You know what I'm talking about?" " We know what you're talking about." " We know exactly what you're talking about." "all:" "Yeah." " But it's a great trick." "Great trick." " Well, thank you so much." " Well, it's, uh--so," "I'm sort of starting to feel like" "I'm back in high school, and feeling really left out." "[laughter] Um, so do you know what they're talking about?" "both:" "Yeah." " I think that we agree that I'm better." "I think was the whole consensus." "both:" "Yes." " Clearly the cute one." " That's what I was saying." " Yes, so you didn't fool them." " We didn't fool 'em." " No, we didn't fool 'em." " Okay, and you're clear on that, but you did entertain us, and we know you need therapy, so that's great, but thank you so much." "Guys, give it up for David and Leeman." "[cheers and applause]" "All right, good--oh." " Just--come on." " [laughs]" " We still have a few more tricks up our sleeves including one from the four sleeves of Penn and Teller." "More "Fool Us" on the way after this." "[jazzmusic]" "♪♪  [jazzmusic] [jazzmusic]" "♪♪" " Welcome back to "Fool Us" here in Las Vegas where memories are made to be forgotten." "[laughter]" "Let's meet our next unforgettable performer."

"My name is Jibzy." "I'm 20 years old." "I come from the south side of Chicago." "[scattered cheers and applause]" "Now, when a lot of guys are my age, they do some pretty dangerous things like gangs... drugs... juggling flaming torches." "[scattered laughter]" "Studying Latin." " [laughs]" " Okay, I'm just playing." "I'm just playing, guys." "But people ask me all the time," ""Jibrizy, how do you make money doing card tricks?"" "It's quite simple." "Let me show you." "Check it out." "audience:" "Oh." " Just like so." "And now I got me so moola to buy me another deck of cards." "Make it rain." "[laughter]" "The thing is, when I was growing up as a kid," "I didn't always have money to buy those fancy, awesome props you see at magic shops." "The--you know, the kits that you see." "I didn't even have money to afford a magic wand." "The closest things I had to that were a pencil and a pen." "Let's try this." "I'll take the pencil and I place it into my pocket." "Now, if the pen is here, then that must mean that the pencil is here." "Watch this." "[cheers and applause]" "All right, if the pencil is here, then that must mean that the pen is... audience:" "Ooh!" " Here... [cheers and applause]" "But I came to this realization that I can do magic with just about anything." "Even when I couldn't afford those fancy props." "I can even do magic... with... [laughter]" "Some sugar, baby." "That's right." "Now, this next trick" "I like to call Sweet Penetration." "[laughter]" "Alyson..." " Huh?" " I'm gonna need you for this one." " Okay." "[laughter]" "Well, then." "I do have to say I'm married." "Sorry." " It's okay." " Okay." " It's only national TV." " All right." " All right, so, we have a bunch of sugar packets here." " Okay." " All right," "I'm gonna mix 'em up." "All right, what I want you to do is I want you to take this Sharpie." " Yes." " I want you to put an X on the coin." " Ooh, okay." "Ooh, that's tiny." " Hi." " It's all good." "Okay." "There." " Okay." " Is that good?" " Yep." " Okay." " Awesome." "Okay." "Alyson's X." "This is what we'll do." "Alyson..." " Yes." " What's inside here?" "Go ahead, feel it." " Sugar." " Sugar." " Good." " [chuckles]" " All right, this is what we're gonna do..." " Yes." " Check it out." "Alyson..." " Mm-hmm." " The coin." " Yes." " Just like so." "Now, Alyson, do me a favor." " Mm-hmm." " Go ahead and feel the sugar packet." "What do you feel?" " It feels like the coin's in there." "[cheers and applause]" " Now, look." "Alyson..." " Yeah." " Do me a favor." "Take the sugar packet..." " Uh-huh." " I want you to rip it right in the middle." " With--okay." " Yeah, just rip it straight in the middle." "Beautiful." "And inside..." "Is a coin." "[cheers and applause]" "Alyson, is that your coin?" " That is my coin." "[cheers and applause]" "And you are Jibrizy." " Thank you so much." "I appreciate your time." "I'm Jibrizy, and peace out." " Wow, that's fantastic." "Ladies and gentlemen, Jibrizy." " Oh." " Here, come over here." "And show them your shoes!" " Oh, yeah." " Come on." "Very cool." "Well, that was really fantastic." "So you're the magician for the Chicago Bulls." " Yes, I am." " That's incredible." "That's so cool." " It--the funny thing is they found me in the newspaper in the Sports section." " [chuckles] What?" " Yep." " What were you doing there?" " Not sports." "[laughter] I'll tell you that much." " Uh, you just turned up?" " Uh, yeah, they just, like, ended up say-- like, contacting me, and was like," ""Hey, you want to do magic for us?"" "And I was like, "Yeah, why not"" Yeah." " Wow." "It shouldn't be that easy." "Just so you know." "That's--that's very, very good for you." " I'll take note." "Next time, make it hard." "[laughter]" " I think Penn and Teller are ready." " All right." " Let's check in with them." " I love--I love when we have, you know, younger magicians on and a whole new way of thinking about it." "It's just--it just fabulous." "We just like everything about that, and, uh, do you know the name Slydini?" " I do." " Okay, so you know what I'm talking about there." " Yes." " Uh, I'll also tell people at home, and correct me if I'm wrong, 'cause I'm sure you will, you could have had Alyson write her initial on there, right?" "It didn't have to be an X." " I--yeah, Alyson" " It real--it really was the same coin." " Uh, I'm--yeah." " Yeah." "I'm just saying, it--it might even be a slightly better trick than people at home think, but, uh, I wanna make this as complimentary as possible 'cause we were really blown away by it." "What you did was you took the simple little trick, and you made it a miracle." "An absolute miracle because you did slight of hand with your mouth with perfect misdirection." " Oh, thank you." " And I think you know what I'm talking about there." " I do." " You actually were doing slight of mouth there." "Um..." "[laughter]" "And it was really wonderful." "We really loved it, but, man, we can love you without you fooling us, and you didn't really fool us." "Do you feel good about that?" " Uh, could we elaborate a little bit more on the Slydini thing?" " Sure, uh..." " A little--a little further." " Well, we're just saying that when you-- Slydini had a really cool way of picking things up off a table to make 'em disappear a little bit." "Why doesn't Teller talk to you a little bit here..." " Okay." " Because I don't wanna say more 'cause it's too damn good to give it away." " Teller's coming up." "[cheers and applause]" " What's up, Teller." " This is very, very exciting." " [laughs]" " I" " It could--could be." " [indistinct chatter]" " I was--I was very close and I think you guys guessed wrong." " No, I didn't do it like that." " [squeals]" "I see it." " I think that means, uh..." " I'm gonna say it:" "He fooled you!" " You fooled us, my friend." "[cheers and applause]" "Beautiful, man." " Yes!" " Ooh!" " Beautiful!" " Yes..." " Cool, man!" "Come on!" " [laughs]" "Ladies and gentlemen," "Jibrizy fooled them!" "Whoo-hoo!" "Congratulations!" "[cheers and applause]" "Oh, Jibrizy!" " Oh, oh, oh." " Oh, fantastic." "Congratulations." " Wonderful." " Thank you so much." "Jibrizy, ladies and gen--gentlemen." "[cheers and applause]" "Ah..." "So Penn and Teller have been fooled once." "Let's see if another fooler is in the cards or--or the magic wands." "See you in a minute." "[jazzmusic]" "♪♪  [jazzmusic]" "♪♪" " Welcome back." "Penn and Teller have been fooled once." "Let's see if they can redeem themselves with this next performer." "[fireworkexplodes]" " Hi, I'm Rick Maisel, escape artist." "Dangerismy profession... [dramaticmusic]" "And I've had near-death experiences." "I was submerged in a milk can, and it's impossible to breathe." "Twominutes and45secondsgoesby, andI 'musingbothhands andmyhead asa batteringramtoescape." "♪♪" "Whew." "Theescape thatI 'mgonnaperform ontonight'sshow, it'ssuperdangerous and the key is not to panic." "LikeHoudini, mymarginof error islifeor death." "[cheers and applause]" " Please welcome Rick Maisel." " Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." "This evening, I'm going to attempt an escape." "An original escape, and actually," "I'm going to attempt to escape from handcuffs and leg irons while I'm inside this spinning washing machine, but we're going to add soap and water." "Um, I'm actually going to need the assistance tonight from Ryan Stock and AmberLynn." "They're actually my assistants and safety experts." "[cheers and applause]" " Great." "I'm here to be the voice of Rick." "He's gonna be inside a washing machine." "He's not gonna be able to hear you guys." "You're not gonna be able to hear him." "AmberLynn is here to chain him up." "A dream for some people out there." "Now, she is locking him up in regulation police handcuffs." "She also has a set of shackles that's going on." "Each one of the locks that go on there are real." "Now, that's two pairs of cuffs." "We're gonna go all the way up his arms." "This is pair number three." "We're gonna go cuff number four." "And the final one, cuff number five goes on." "Now, once we put him into the washing machine," "I'm gonna do a countdown with you guys." "It's gonna go:" "Three, two, one." "Amber is gonna turn on the machine." "She's gonna turn on the machine so that I don't get the blame for it." "You got this, Rick?" " Almost." " Almost." "We're gonna put the leg shackles on." "Now, we're not gonna set this on delicate." "We're gonna set it on normal, but there's nothing normal about washing your clothes while you're wearing them." "Some of the water's actually already in the washing machine, and that way we don't have to wait for it to fill up, and then Amber is going to pour in the rest." " And just pull on them for the audience." " You ready, Rick?" " Yes, I'm just gonna slow my heart rate down." " All right." "♪♪" "Ladies and gentlemen, once he gets in there he's got two minutes to escape." "This is a trick in itself." "Fitting himself into this washing machine." "You can see it's a tight fit." "He barely has room to move." "Never mind try to pick five sets of cuffs and a set of leg irons." "All right, we're gonna close the door." "We're gonna lock it up." "We're turning this machine into a death trap." "[grunts] You got it?" "You ready?" " Almost." "♪♪" " Here we go." "Amber is gonna close the door." " Yep, still in the restraints." "All right, let's go." " Here we go." "Close it out." "[cheers and applause]" " Everybody, count it down." "In three... all:" "Two..." "One!" "All right, now I know as you guys are looking in there, you can see there is some water." "Now Amber is adding actual soap and water to the washing machine." "She is filling this up." "Now, I know you're thinking at this point," ""How does he breath while he's in there""" "The answer's simple, he doesn't." "He doesn't breath while he's in there." "I want you guys to hold your breath along with Rick while he's in there." "Now imagine the force, the g-forces pushing the blood up into his brain." "And here's the weird part, while he's escaping, each time he removes a set of handcuffs, it becomes more dangerous." "That set of cuffs becomes a projectile that may hit him in the face." "That could even knock him out while he's inside the washing machine." "Now, he has to escape in a minute." "We're talking--around a minute is what we're looking for here." "Now, uh, we actually had an incident in rehearsal." "Somebody left a red sock in the washing machine and he came out pink." "A serious incident." "Now we--we are at 53 seconds." "53 seconds." "Now, we're hoping he gets out in one minute." "If he doesn't get out within two minutes it goes into the spin cycle." "The deadly spin cycle." "You know how bad it is to get caught in the spin cycle." "No you don't." "Only Rick knows how bad it is to get caught in the spin cycle." "We are at a minute and ten seconds." "A minute and ten seconds." "If he's in there for another 30 seconds," "I'm gonna have to throw in the towel." "[laughter] Is he gonna make it?" "Will he get out of here?" "Ladies and gentlemen-- yes, check if he's okay." "Here's the problem, if he doesn't get his hands out of the cuffs, he can't signal us, and if he does have a safe word, we can't hear it." "I was, uh--we're at a, uh-- we're at a minute 30." "A minute 30." "[knocks on glass]" "A minute thir-- ladies and gentlemen, he's out." "Give it up for Rick Maisel!" "[cheers and applause]" " Whoa!" "Wow." "Whoo!" "That is absolutely incredible." " Thank you." " Oh, man." "So you've actually, um, like broken world records." " Yes, and again, this is not a world record that I want anyone to-- actually, to ever try and attempt." "Um, and I'm the current world record holder for the straightjacket escape in 2.23 seconds." " Wow." "That's incredible." "[cheers and applause]" " Thank you." " Wow." "Well, let's go to Penn and Teller and see what they think of your magic." " A washing machine is precisely what Houdini would escape from in the 21st century." "This is really, uh, in the direct lineage of Houdini." "Whereas all the people who recreate his escapes aren't doing Houdini at all." "Houdini did not recreate things." "He created things." "I've never seen anything like this." "I will also say, Teller and I have been in a room with a million bees." "Teller's been in every kind of water tank." "Uh, Teller has been, uh, in a, uh, cement mixer." " Trust me, I'm very impressed with you all." " We've done every sort of thing, and Teller just said to me while he was watching you that he would not do this." "Um, and what I should also tell people here is that the vast--the vast majority of this is all real." "You are just one crazy son of a bitch." " [laughs] [cheers and applause]" " Um..." " I take that as a compliment." "Thank you." " And, you know, Houdini would do, uh, handcuff things as well." "He would do jumps with cuffs off, uh--off bridges, in boxes, all that kind of stuff, and I think you are in direct-- direct descendant of Houdini's." "You're really great..." " Wow, what a compliment." " But I hope somewhere in there I snuck in a word or two that gave you a little bit of a wink." "What do you think there?" " Awesome." " [laughs]" " I'm so--I'm s--I'm, like-- you guys are-- I'm such a fan of you all." " Aww." " So this is really cool to hear this from you." " Yo--just great, man." " Thank you." " That is high, high praise indeed." " Just great." "So, obviously, not a fooler, but certainly very impressed..." " Fabulous." " And I've never heard them gush more." " Awesome, awesome." "So thank you, Rick Maisel!" " Oh, man." " Thank you, all right." " Thank you." "[cheers and applause]" " Thank you!" "Whoo!" "[sighs] Mentalists, slight of hand artists, flesh eating zombies, we'll try anything to fool Penn and Teller." "Stick around and see what's next." "[jazzmusic]" "♪♪  [jazzmusic] [cheers and applause]" " Welcome back to "Fool Us"" "where magicians expose themselves to Penn and Teller and no one has to call the police."

"I'm a magician from the D.R., Dominican Republic, and it is a dream come true to be here today." "I mean, talking about dreams, have you ever wondered how awesome life would be if we had real powers?" "I mean, I could take something as simple as taking the cards out of the box and making it look magical." "Well, something like this." "[exhales]" "And the card box vanishes... [cheers and applause]" "And reappears inside my pocket." "I mean, that would be amazing." "I wish I could do that for real." "Um, or maybe, while doing a card trick, you know, there's always a card selected." "In this case, the kind of clubs." "The king is placed right in the middle of the pack, and now, since I have real powers," "I can do whatever I want, right?" "For instance, if I just snap my fingers it will appear right on top..." "audience:" "Wow." " But, of course, that's impossible." "That's impossible." "I mean, for real." "That's impossible." "The card is in the middle." "Remember?" "But, of course, that's just my imagination telling me things that I know are never going to happen." "I really came here tonight to show you one of my favorite card tricks." "So, Alyson, would you mind joining me here?" "A big round of applause for Alyson." " Aww." "[cheers and applause]" " I'm honored." "How you doing?" "Good?" " Great." " Okay." " Yes." " Oh, man." " Ooh." " Right now I'm gonna pass the cards like this, and whenever you want say "stop."" " Uh..." " Say "stop."" " Stop." " Okay, that will be your card." " Okay." " Take a look at it." "Remember it." "Show it to everyone here." "I won't see." " Yes." " And I also want you to sign it on the face." " Okay." " Please put your, uh, smiley face, a phone number... [laughter] Or maybe your bank account with the password." "Something simple." "Okay?" " Okay." " Let me know when you got it." " I got it." " Okay, perfect." "Show it one last time." "Let me know." " Okay." " Are you done?" " Yes." " Okay, place the card back inside in the deck." " In--in the deck." " Yeah." " Okay." " I'm gonna turn over." "I want you to shuffle the deck." " Oh, boy." " Yeah, I know." " I've had nightmares about this." "[groans]" " This is a relief for me." " This--this is very embarrassing." " Oh, that was good." " [grunts] [cheers and applause]" " That was perfect." " Okay." " Thank you." "So now, Alyson..." " Yeah?" " I'm gonna find your card." " Okay." " Um, the problem is" "I don't know how to do it." " Oh." " Uh, yeah." "Uh, that's why I need the help from two famous magicians, which are right here tonight." "[laughs] So, everybody, please welcome" "Mr. Jose and Ramon, which are right here inside the box." "[laughter]" "Boom." "They are very famous magicians." " Oh." " Do you know them?" " No." " They are in every single deck of cards you buy." " Yeah." " Yeah." "I want you to check them out." "They're normal, right?" " Yes, very." " Okay, so now, they're gonna find your card." "Pass me Jose." " Uh, that one." " No, that's Ramon." " Oh, sorry." " Okay." "[laughter]" " Oh, wait." " Mm." " There's a problem." " Oh, dear." " Um, this is an issue." "Uh, they don't know what the card is." " Oh." " So I just need you to whisper your card to them." "Not to me." "Not to anyone here." "I'm gonna turn around." " Okay." " So do it now." "Let me know." " To both of 'em?" " Yeah, to--to both of them." "[laughter]" " Nice, okay." " You got it?" " Yeah." " Okay, perfect." "So now that they know your card they're gonna find it." " Okay." " Jose will go right on top." "You can see they have different backs so you can follow them." " Yes." " And Ramon will be on the bottom." "You can see all the cards they have in the middle, so, hopefully, one of those should be yours." " Okay." " So you're gonna help me now." "Okay?" " Okay." " I'm gonna put the deck right in the middle." " Mm-hmm." " Come on over." " Oh." " Put your hand right on top." " Just like this." " Like, to--oh, yes." " And whenever you want, I want you to snap your fingers, but before you do..." " Mm-hmm?" " You need to believe because if you don't, they won't do anything." " Okay, I believe." " Okay, so, whenever you're ready, snap." "That's perfect." "Right now they are moving." "You remember Jose was here, Ramon was there?" " Yes." " They started getting closer, closer, and closer..." " Uh-huh." " And suddenly, they stop." " Okay." " But you don't believe me, right?" " I do believe you." "I believe." " Oh, thank you." " I believe." "[laughter] Thank you." " Yeah." " So, if that's true, they move all the way from here to there." "Leaving only a few cards in the middle." " Yeah." " Hopefully, one of those should be yours, right?" " I hope so." " So--I hope so too." "[laughter]" "Without being very precise, how many cards do you believe they have in the middle now?" "Five, four, six?" " I" " It doesn't matter." " Okay." " It doesn't matter." "Just put your hand right on top, and whenever you want, snap your fingers." "Oh, man, I saw that." " Better snap." " You saw." "They start moving again." " Oh." " Getting closer and closer." "This time, almost touching." "I said almost because now..." "They only have one card, and one card only." " [gasps]" " For the first time, Alyson, what was your card?" " Three of hearts." " The three of hearts." "Oh, man." "And that's exactly the three of hearts signed by Alyson." "[cheers and applause]" "Thank you very much." "Thank you, Alyson." " That was amazing." "Ladies and gentlemen, Felix Bodden." " Oh, come on." " That is so cool." "All right, well, they're obviously gonna talk amongst themselves..." " Yeah." " But I want to talk to you." "That was so cool." " Oh, thank you, thank you." " I love that." "And so, what was your first trick?" " Um, my first trick?" "Uh, it was a variation of this one, actually." " Oh, oh, really?" " Yes." "Yeah, I love it." " And, um--and do your friends just make you do it all the time and..." " Oh, no, in the beginning it was like that, but now they need to pay and they don't want to." "[laughter]" " Nice." " So, basically, yeah." " That's funny." "You're so charming, and so wonderful, and that was really cool." " Oh, come on." "I'm gonna blush." " Aww." "[laughter]" "All right, well, our Jose and Ramon are looking like they're a little..." " Mm." " I don't know, they--they're-- they--they're discussing quite seriously." " Yeah, yeah." " Oh, hi." "all:" "Hi." " Welcome to our show." " Thank you, thank you." " We have so many North American magicians." " Thank you." "[cheers and applause]" " Good to have someone Latin on the show." " Oh, yes." " That's wonderful." "Although, now it scares me." "Now we've opened up a bigger geographical area." "We're gonna get a lot of great people like you." "That was a great act." "Great act." " Oh, thank you." " Um, you know, it was nice that while I liked that part of your dirty work walls-- was done while talking about the dirty work." "I always like that." "Always like," ""Let's look at how this looks," and then doing the thing." "I'll also say that a lot of times, you think misdirection's just pointing over there, but it's always done in the plot." "It was nice that you were able to gi--put all the attention on Alyson whispering to the cards and doing all that while you were able to do some, um, some other little business in there." "Now, you know, we are a, uh--we're a team, uh, Penn and Teller, and, uh, I don't know, you probably don't know, um, U.S.A. magicians from the '40s or '50s..." " Oh." " But we've kind of patterned ourselves on, uh--on an act that was called "Shift and Cull,"" "but Shift and Cull were two people that we really, really loved as a, uh, magic team, but it's a wonderful act." "We really love it." "And moving things close together, and sandwiching in between, always a good idea." " Thank you, thank you." " Thanks." " Does that mean anything to you?" " Oh, yeah, of course it does." " Okay." "The double--the double act?" "[all laugh]" " Okay, and so somebody on Twitter will explain it to me, I hope." "[both laugh]" "And, so--so you're satisfied that they know how you did your trick..." " Yeah, I believe so." " And that you didn't fool them?" "But you certainly entertained, uh, us, and--and now you've made fans out of this country." "Now you're an international magician, and thank you so much." "Felix Bodden, everyone." "Thank you." "[cheers and applause]" "Not enough magic for you?" "Well, don't go away." "We have a trick from our very own" "Penn and Teller coming up." "[jazzmusic]" "♪♪  [jazzmusic] [cheers and applause] [playing lilting piano music]" " Penn and Teller lovingly refer to themselves as carny trash 'cause they started out performing at Renaissance festivals and state fairs." "Watch Penn, accompanied by Georgie Bernasek, take us back to their roots with a red-hot display of carny magic." "[playing soft piano music] [cheers and applause]" "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪" "[laughter]" "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪" " [mouthing]" "♪ ♪ [laughter]" "[playing dramatic piano music]" "♪ ♪" "[cheers and applause]" "[laughter]" "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪" "[cheers and applause]" "♪ ♪" "[cheers and applause]" "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪ [cheers and applause]" "♪ ♪" "[cheers and applause]" "♪ ♪" "♪ ♪" "[cheers and applause]" "♪ ♪" "[cheers and applause]" "♪ ♪" "Wow." " That's, uh, Mike Jones over there." "Mike Jones." " Whoo!" " Georgie Bernasek." " Georgie." " And the most dangerous part of that whole trick is smoking the cigarettes." " [laughs]" " Don't smoke cigarettes, ugh." " No." "For Penn, Teller, and all of us here at "Fool Us""" "we thank you so much for watching, and hope you had a magical night." "See you next week!"
