I think this is one of those multiple outs tricks he can tell which envelope is the sheild and which has the hole based on the weight and he has a script that deviates depending on which order he picks them up you can tell in his conversation with allison he is trying to figure out which is the right one so he can do that one last probably switched it slight of hand the order so when she tells him which one she thinks it is he calculates based on how he switched it, like the second one he just runs thru it fast and doesnt really do it he knows its a dud and the first one he is talking alot moving alot he is manipulating the order . a thick peice of metal like that has real weight to it that cutout would be a noticable difference in weight especially when magicians practice the tricks ALOT

This trick shows how great Allison was as the host.

Do they brief Allison on what is going to go down? Seems like a really intense position to be in.

I’m surprised Penn thought the machine was gimmicked and didn’t consider that the plates would be gimmicked. This could work by the hole getting covered up with a beveled circle of metal and it slides over depending on which direction the plate faces.

Great trick!

It’s in his watch

I'm not following this "trick" whatsoever 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Card Palming/SOH with envelopes?

Bruh it’s obvious he marked the one that didn’t have the hole so he knew which one did

What I love about this is how genuine your interaction with Allyson is because it makes the trick feel like a close or intimate experience, rather than detached which a lot do. The effect, hits home much more!

I really don't like "illusion of danger" tricks. Start to finish I wasn't smiling, just stressed.

Magicians are switching out cards left, right and center. I think you just had a safe plate that you switched and all the four with Allison probably had holes.

This is hilarious. I especially like how roughly you handle the device, just to emphasize how archaic and brutal it is.

This is done in poor taste. What you did to Alyson is psychological violence and not OK. You really, really dragged it so long when you told her it was her eye on the line that she looked like she was going to cut the film. You could have easily done the trick without that part.

8:25 Great question. Great answer.

My guess is the envelopes are marked in some way that's subtle enough to not be noticed by the audience. Then he knows which is which and can script around that.

This seems easy to me.

My least favorite fooler. That was disgusting.

Fantastic presentation Danny.

I still have that card you signed

Go ilcs

Power of suggestion?

Alyson is just fit for this so funny

So where was the magic?

Thanks for coming to the o’connel bash you just made me legit contemplate how you did that your card tricks are amazing also great job😊🎉

U' re sick man🔥🔥🔥🔥

Slide of hand he change the envelope

He shows himself putting the plates into the envelopes. And he takes extra time with the regular plate. And watch him put it on the envelope. The way his hands move doesn’t add up to the plate going into the envelope. Hes putting it behind the envelope and there’s already a 4th plate with a hole in it. He holds onto the plate till the end. The only problem with this is I never see when he puts it in the envelope. Also he never rips opens the envelope which is strange but maybe just cuz it’s over. Or the machine is modifiable. Aka the round thing in the middle he kept touching between 2nd and 3rd card

i got the trick. The plates are gimmicked. Theres a panel that slides to cover or reveal the hole. He just has to tilt the panel

uh this is easy to figure out... He switched the steel with the hole, then he "mentslist" by choosing the steel out right and choosing the hole that allison thinks, implant the obvious. He makes up a story to avoid the hole.

I like the part where when you put down the altoids tin the video cut

My guess is all of the plates have a inbuilt slide that when tilted cover the hole..

Fun fact: in German an egg is called "Ei", which is pronounced the same way as "eye" in English.

He’s got a fake steel eye that he’s had since the first time he tried the trick

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to know how a trick is done more than this one, really amazing.

This is my favorite Penn & Teller so far, good job Danny!

I really miss Allison :/

"So for this next trick, eye need a testicle...." ~utter silence~

_👁 can't believe you fooled them!_ _👁 figured it out!_ _I'll jus say this..._ _I hear the sound of metal coming from somewhere. Lol_

Had I watched this trick at the time it was out... I would be here writing praises on how great a trick is... But now that I am also periodically watching the new host of the show per youTubes recommendations: I have to especially ALSO praise how perfect it was to be doing it with Alison. And how she fit this role beautifully. I am sure that someone s brilliant as you would have tailored your routine to fit the new host just as well; but here: she fit all TOO well. Very well played... GREAT trick!

Could the "shields " be the trick, like sliding metal plate inside the shields?

This is a whole other genre of magic tricks... Horror magic 😂

I've watched this a few times and I know exactly how he's done it. Don't keep reading if you don't want spoilers. Danny is actually a time traveler. He's able to experience each of the outcomes and has lost his eye to the trick several times. Each time he fails, he travels back in time to before he was impaled and tries again. Once he succeeds, he remains in that timeline. It's a seamless transition so nobody in the audience or at home can perceive when he makes a time leap. Very impressive trick, but unfortunately you can spot a temporal anomaly (caused by the tearing of the space-time fabric) at 7:41. Hope this helped!!

If I were to do that, I would try to have some sort of magnetic sensor under the table that can detect the solid plate 🤔

I might be completely wrong and I highly doubt this is actually how the trick is performed but when you asked allyson to pick she slammed her hands on the envelope to feel if there was a hole and im guessing a lot of other participants would do that. If they don't you can also check the envelope and bail out last second if they picked the wrong one so you're never in danger.

I love this so much 😂😂❤

amazing trick! im a new fan!!

cool Merry Christmas Jesus Birthday new years fun

Bit of Darren Brown here. In round one he pulls two envelopes moves his hand over them and says "its one of". He then eliminates the one Alice believes it is. In round two he says "point to 1" whilst pointing to the one she should choose. She ofcourse chooses 1. Having already programmed her in round 1 she finally chooses the correct one. Tada!

Allison is so freaking adorable and funny. 😊
