6:01 the glitter nails threw me 💅

2:36 Lol is was thinking maybe to pick 47

Still fun and amazing 9 years later! Nice work.

'blind spot' ;) humans have no rear view mirror

That is CRAZY!

Ez trick, he had one end of a portal inside the hat and the other was in a Chinese Dice factory and they were just sending dice through the portal

Cool

Amazing!

Awesome. Amazing. Gertner is a stunning magician.

4:32 is why I love watching fool us with absolutely fantastic magicians like you Paul. Seeing someone so well trained getting sucked into an act that they can't help go with the no way in hell do you have something more with just their expression.

I've figured it out! It's impossible and he's magic.

He must have a lot of pens

i hated this one because he tried to cheat at the end right here 05:03

If Johnny was around today he could super imitate Joe Biden.

Saw this years back on Johnny Carson

I thought this trick would take years to figure out. The “****” shuffle is quite easy to pick up when you learn the nuanced finger movements and I got it in a few weeks. Also surprising how easy it was to “mark the deck” lol.

Johnny Ace Palmer mustve been summoned.

So how's he doing it? 😂

I saw all the moves but I don't know how he got so many dices at the end

This guy never gives up does he lmao

I like that he revealed they were wrong about the third die being inside the other!!

I feel like there are a lot of Monday morning magicians in the comments. Like, “oh yeah I saw that” or “the dice clacked.” Just enjoy the trick. There’s a reason this guy was on Fool Us 5 times and more than likely none of you have been

I was amazed by this trick the first couple of times but now that I’m watching it again it’s pretty clear that you slide the big die into the hat when you pick it up and lean back to laugh. Pretty cool trick nonetheless

It's weird to me the number of people here commenting on how they don't understand the code Penn uses. Sometimes he gets really obscure and no one is mentioning it, but in this one he's really clear with the forces and index and people don't get it.

It's funny when, as a magician, you understand what he says in code (at least kinda) lol

He's talking to his wife about the appearances like its an addiction

The way he got the jack of diamonds was an obvious bottom deal but idk how he did the rest

If he counted down 47, there would only be 5 cards left. There were at least 7 that I counted

That was great!

wow, Johnny almost ruined that trick

at 3.18 you can see the writing on the pen as Teller writes on the pick...

This guy was horrible. You could so easily see him pull the hat back to his chest and then put one arm/hand goes under the table to load the hat.. Amazing what kind of lame crap could make it onto national TV in the 70's.

4:13 adds giant dice to hat

I understood the code for once

Paul does close up table magic in Boston now. I and my family have seen him twice. He's good at his craft and just as nice as you might expect. If you're in the area I HIGHLY recommend his show.

Hold on. Was the 47 forced somehow? I picked 47 in my head before Penn did!

Stingy audience. Or "applause sign guy" is slow on the uptake.

The pen reminded me Shawn Farquhar's first appearance

how the fuck

I got most of it, but missed the second big die. Did he load both at once?

4:10 he slipped that big dice in there somehow it’s crazy

The thing that bugs me is when he moved the card with the pick on it, at 3:02, the way he moved the pick by passing his hand over the card. That seemed as an unusual way to move a pick. You don't have to cover the card with your hand to move a pick. This feels like this was the moment there was a switch of card. Also, he went back to the deck of cards directly after that strange move.

5:19. he counted out to 47 and removed the 47th card leaving 46. but then he lays down the second section of cards that were "higher" than 47, and there are 7.......46+1+7 is not 52. edit, and the marker segment at the end would have given him enough time to remove 2 cards in case they examined the deck after. idk how all that helps the trick but i thought it was interesting.

I have been practicing the perfect faro for several months now and having a really hard time getting the knack, I’ve been experimenting with marlos from bottom to top weave from revolutionary card technique and giobbis from top to bottom from card college 3, I’ve also watched several KZbin tutorials which I must say, only one seems to really have the knack but still can’t nail it consistently, I’ve been doing magic for over 20 years and never really played with the perfect faro but am having a real hard time with it, I’m now considering giobbi personal instruction 3 and 4 which is around 75 dollars which I don’t really want to pay because I already have all of the books and I only want it to view him explaining what he explains in the book, I’m also considering Michael closes work to see if that can get me there, any tips , pointers or advice would be much appreciated

Ok, I can see where he loaded all the dice, except, WHERE THE FUCK DID THE SECOND BIG ONE COME FROM?! I saw all the rest, but the SECOND BIG ONE!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? WTF?! Edit: Oh my god, I see it now. Wow, cleverly done! So much misdirection!

This blows my mind every time I watch this. it's not sleight of hand...it's magic.

This one was easy to follow. The clangy 3 cup monte was baller though.

Jonny Carson and Paul Gertner KODAK MAGICAL FUN

Mate, I was 'playing along at home', so to speak, and I picked the same number as Penn! I know it's a matter of chance, but it still had me surprised.

Jedi's working on that trick.
