>going on Penn and Teller: Fool Us >they say they've

Sometimes they pretend to swap decks and such just to make them guess wrong. It goes against the point of the show. Lots of the contestants try to achieve FOOLED status without actually earning it.

>>87396575
I remember Penn got really upset the one time it happened. And then they started to catch on, and I don't think it happens as much anymore.

Also, skinny Penn is worst Penn

>>87396817
link? i've only seen bits and pieces of the show, but this one scene sounds interesting.

>>87396300
They're probably just still embarrassed about the oreo/napkin move that was hilariously blatant and they still missed it.

>and the OTHER deck of cards

>>87396817
The first time I saw was when a magician came out with a large box, bigger than what he took out of it, and did his trick. At the end Penn said that there was stuff in the box he didn't use. Then he showed them the inside of the box where he had written the word, "NO". Penn and Teller gave him a standing ovation, but most people don't do it that cleverly.

>>87398130
It was a guy who they thought did a deck switch but he didn't. He didn't intentionally mislead them, he just knew that the most common way to do that trick would be a deck switch and was being a cheeky bitch about it.

>>87398251
He could have just brought out a single deck of cards. His oversize box was definitely to try and trick them.

I like the one where a guy comes to do the exact same card trick pen and teller did a few weeks earlier on the today show.

Penn saw the smirk on the guy's face and said "this motherfucker" and pretty much got rekt in the card trick and had no clue how he did it.

>>87398345
Kostya kimlat. Best trick imo

>that episode with the stupid watch toy
>visibly triggered when Penn dismisses his whole trick instantly

>>87398436
Wonder how much practice you have to put in to sort the cards like he does for that trick.

Is there a place to talk about magic on 4chan? I learned the muscle pass over the summer and it was satisfying to practice it until I got it working, but it's a pretty underwhelming trick for how much effort goes into it. What are some cool coin tricks I can learn to go along with it? Sleight of hand is preferred to gimmick coins since that lets me just randomly do magic at bars/parties without preparation.

I know magic is bullshit and everything can be explained, but i've always had this tiny lingering doubt in the very back of my mind.
>What if?
What if there 'were' people who could do really simple magic shit, but they keep it secret and mask it as an act?
I know i'd try to keep that shit as quiet as possible.
Even someone who could do something as simple as making a card or something disappear would immediately get a black back over thier head by the government and dragged off to some lab for testing

>>87396300
There's only so many ways to do a trick, and when you're a pro, it's pretty easy to figure out how shit is done.

It's all either:
1. Sleight of hand
2. Use of specialized props
3. Use of a known / unknown assistant

That's it.

So when somebody does a trick, all you have to figure out is when they pawned / produced whatever, or which prop is rigged, and since you're a pro, you're familiar with the distraction techniques and timing used to hide your sleight of hand shit, so it's not hard to figure out. So unless somebody does something actually worthwhile and unique, P n' T are more than likely going to figure their shit out.

>>87396575
>Sometimes they pretend to swap decks and such just to make them guess wrong. It goes against the point of the show.

Well yes and no.

Some people are obviously cunty with telegraphing moves that don't matter, since the rules are that P&T only get one guess.

But you can't go too narrow with it either because magic really just comes down to a few things you can do and variations on known themes. Entirely new routines and methods are rare. They've even basically admitted that some winners win on the basis of flawless performance rather than strictly fooling them.

More to the point the show is really just a gimmick. The points don't matter so to speak, it's just the spectre of American Idol talent show with judges, but people come on just to showcase their skills. Like Penn likes to say Piff was one of the most successful acts they ever had on and he wasn't a fooler.

I just wished to Jebus they'd get rid of Alyson, she's really awful as a host. She's gotten better I guess, less nervous. But there's no fucking contest with the bantz of a Jonathan Ross.

I've been dicking around with a screenplay involving that very premise. Some shitter who knew how to do basic magic and his main way of using it was to fuck with people on the equivalent of /x/ and /pol/.

that's my favourite one, just that he does it in penn's hands makes it that step cooler.

then he comes back and fools them again, absolute madman.

>>87398202
>cool
There are backstage judges you reveal the trick to beforehand.

>>87404336
To be fair he does address that. He says he showed it to them, they guessed the same (incorrect) method as Penn and he told them that was how it was done.

Honestly it’s an ingenious method but the whole ‘I secretly fooled them’ thing just reeks of attention seeking. He chose to accept defeat rather than telling them they got it wrong - that’s not meta-conning, that’s just being a beta.

>>87403616
Fucking lmao

>>87404044
Holy shit.
Commenting so I can find this again later

>>87399476
At he got humiliated in front of Simon Pegg. You could tell he really respected him and was nervous when he was performing the trick.

wtf is wrong with these people?

Really interesting concept, but the fact that they didn't destroy careers by explaining their shit had me upset.

>>87405373
I honestly think they were giving a shit magician more credit than he deserved, looking for a trick that wasn't there.

>>87405550
Not sure how possible this is but for every episode they need to put in 1 winning act for every 3 losers. So it's possible that they were getting to the end of the run and needed another winner.

>>87405418
Most of the acts on here don't use original techniques, so P&T can 'spoil' the trick just using method codenames. For tricks which are actually original like Farquhar's book trick or Piff's card morphing trick they have to be more explicit about the proposed method or draw a diagram. Only in a couple of cases have they actually revealed a trick on stage but usually in those cases it's pretty obvious anyway.

easy to see how he put the 7 into another deck.

i'm guessing he had 1st deck he gave to penn to show it's a real deck which we saw
then traded it for a 2nd deck with only 7s, so obviously penn picked a 7.
then he put the signed 7 into the 3rd deck that was ready to get another card in it (in the screenshot). penn believes both jokers are removed, which means this deck also don't have them so there's extra room which makes it easier to put the joker in it.

that's about it i think? anyway it's extremely well done.

>That shitty nigger kid who fooled them just because they guessed wrong some shitty trick which could've been done a hundred different ways

>>87406225
Nah man there couldn't have been a deck switch between Penn shuffling the cards and choosing the 7.

>>87406450
There was a deck switch, though. Penn called it out, and Teller noticed too.

>>87406450
this new deck didn't have a 7 in it but likely all the other cards, so he must have know about the 7.

or, i guess it's possible he managed to take out the 7 in his other deck somehow during the trick, after penn picked the 7, and then replace it with the signed one he got from penn. he's fondling his pockets a bit during this.

>>87399476

post link nigga

>>87400127
Kek

>>87406530
Yes, there's an incredibly obvious deck switch when he takes the pen out where he swaps the shuffled deck for a new sealed deck, but that's not really important as they point out.

>>87406630
The point is that when Penn's shuffling the cards, you can clearly see they aren't just 7s. Between then and him picking the 7, there isn't any kind of deck switch as we can see and Penn can see because he's looking intently at Farquhar's hands.

It makes sense that the 7 was already taken out of the new deck and there's a correctly-placed slit in the box he reseals through which he can put Penn's 7, but a deck full of 7s isn't the way he did it. If it's a force, it's a really really fucking good one.
