17-year-old Vilgot Michelin travels into the FUTURE | Penn & Teller: Fool Us S10

[@bosco7837]

Congratulations for developing a wonderful routine that you could perform on any stage, anywhere in the world and get great reactions from the audience. At such a young age it's a great accomplishment.

[@VilgotMichelin]

Thank you truly. 🙏

[@frankesposito2182]

Your Amazing !!!

[@chrissibersky4617]

Very entertaining. Very smooth. Clever story. Congrats to a good performance.

[@TheRealJovaYT]

Even understanding how it's done in the end, still can't imagine this being possible to pull off so flawlessly.

[@MrYungfras]

Getting praise from P&T is almost better than fooling them. Almost. Great job young man. I look forward to seeing you headline!

[@VilgotMichelin]

Thank you so much for your kind words! And I’m glad you liked it. :)

[@kma3647]

He did predict he'd win in the future. I'd love to see him back on P&T to try again! Great stage presence. A lot of fun to watch. Talented young man

[@protector22222]

Yes his stage presence was better than some veterans of magic... Now..lets hope he doesnt let his teen...hormones distract him from continuing his amazing talent ...lol

[@sailaab]

Loved the great energy, stage presence and presentation, Vilgot.🙂 Hope to get to see more of you in the times to come. May wishes for the same.

[@VilgotMichelin]

Very kind of you, thanks! 🙏

[@sailaab]

Våra varma önskningar är alltid med dig, kära Vilgot. Fast nu ökar min ålder och jag vill inte resa utanför Indien, men jag ska försöka fortsätta titta på stigande stjärnor som du. När jag var i din ålder 1996 var jag väldigt vårdslös. Och det är där din mognad, ditt fokus på dig själv och din lojalitet är fantastiska egenskaper att se.

[@IceSkating_hamsters00]

I agree, great stage presence.

[@rolffendrich7875]

Du rockade så jäkla hårt 💪 För mig som är yngre är du em riktigt stor inspiration!

[@VilgotMichelin]

Åh stort tack du! Det betyder mycket att höra. Kör hårt 💪

[@grave-tender]

That is an absolutely wonderful idea, executed perfectly! The concept, theme, scripting, stagecraft, confidence, everything, and such clean open handling with no funny moves... Penn's improv coding of enough for intelligent kids to google stays stronk XD Vilgot will go far.

[@VilgotMichelin]

Oh man this makes me glad to hear! Thank you 🙏

[@sadegh411]

Congratulations on your amazing performance! Your confidence truly shines through. Looking forward to seeing more of your talent in the future! 👏🎉

[@joebloggs2534]

If you did this with a signature it would be one hell of a trick

[@jasonbarrylambeth]

If he is really smart he cones back on next year and does the same trick but with a signature. Best part is, he could do it exactly the same way... as long as he has already planned for the future in the present. I have a cool method for making that possible, but since this recording was in the past, it may be too late to make that happen.

[@4saken404]

This comment got me thinking. And it not only revealed at least part of how he did it but also gave me an idea on how to improve it slightly. Not sure if it would make much difference in person but it would make it much harder for people to tell if it is truly the same card or not even after looking at the video. Because there are little details in the proportions of the first card that would make it easier to pull off the illusion.

[@davidleavitt835]

I sense a great Jedi in this.

[@therealBocaStudios]

You can’t do it with a signature without stacking the deck

[@jasonbarrylambeth]

@@therealBocaStudios you can absolutely do it with a signature, using the exact same method as he did here. Just not in the present, only in the future.

outstanding performance. I myself have terrible social anxiety. just being on that stage would be beyond what I could do. you not only conquer the difficulty of talking in front of a crowd, but you added magic and did it in front of two of the titans of magic. incredible job all the way around. wonderful.

[@equitecengineeringtechnolo7762]

Excellent act

[@zantas-handle]

Lovely use of idiomatic English for humour and a super-cool punchline! Well done!

[@KenLieck]

One little thing: For a trick to be fully & properly constructed, I know that you want to have that one last little twist at the end, which in this case was the fact that the card was from a red deck. However, in this case we've already seen that the card has the special drawing on it, which is frankly more impressive than the deck color part, so as a result that final twist is really pretty anticlimactic. I'm just throwing this out there as an unsolicited piece of constructive criticism, and I hope it's taken that way, because you're a young, talented guy, and you know what they say: "The youth are our future -- which is a good thing, because they make rotten presents!" (And we can all be thankful that joke is now in the past...)

[@Craznar]

It was to sort of 'show' that he didn't just draw the same shape on a card in both decks.

[@gonzalogoded2089]

I agree, presenting the card face down but red might be slightly better.

[@magckmn01]

I just want to know if you can do this trick? Do it at all, do it better? Or if your just a hater being douchey from the (hopefully uncomfortable) confines of your own (or are you hiding out in your moms basement still?) home?

[@Craznar]

@@magckmn01 He wasn't talking about the magic, rather the presentation of the magic. Feedback is a very useful thing for young performers and Ken was rational and not attacking in his comments. I too thought the red reveal at the end was a bit out of place, and I still loved the trick and have no idea how it was done. So calm down there :)

[@gonzalogoded2089]

@@magckmn01 LOL, you feel the need to feel offended for the magician? But to answer your question: yes, any amateur can do a version of this trick, the only real issue is banishing the origianl 6 of diamonds and there are several methods for it. That is why Penn and Teller and so dissapointed, the guy put no effort on creating the trick, or had not enough time.

[@goofy_smelttryhard4569]

I saw this performance in person and you were so amazing and I know if you keep putting in the work you will fool them next time.

[@MagicKjell]

Tänk vad du har utvecklats med din magi. Detta är ett mästerverk och kan inte göras bättre av de bästa. Du har en fantastisk utstrålning. ... jag har ändå varit domare i magi på Norra Brunn, så jag vet vad som är bra. All lycka i fortsättningen.

[@VilgotMichelin]

Stort tack Kjell 🙏🥳

[@cokesquirrel]

Good luck young man you have a great stage presence and I hope a very bright future

[@VilgotMichelin]

Thank you, it means a lot. 🙏🤗

[@NerdSnipingBatman]

At 2:52 you didn't let them see the whole deck: super sus. From there the trick is super obvious: the red card with stick figure was always there, just hidden in your fan. When you drew the stick figure later, it was on a forced card. The method of force was pretty obvious as the pen allows you to have a wide degree of range that you "stopped" at. Drawing the exact same stick figure of course, and then later either palming or hiding the card: your fan wasn't very wide so easy to hide a card or two. It would have been more impressive if she signed the card.

[@nitedk]

Nobody asked. If she had signed the card, it would be a completely different trick.

[@usedbodypillow6718]

Stop using words you just learned from chatgpt. He didn't even use palming and he for sure didn't hide the card in his fan doofus. 😂

[@PatriotDave87]

Really good trick. But when you did that faro shuffle right after they examined them, they knew right then how it was done. But still loved the trick and the idea of sending it into the future was great!

[@wallyohrel9086]

Very good trick. Just come back do it again. 🔟

[@Disciple793]

Having Brook sign the card would have blown my mind. Nevertheless, a great performance. Inventing your own magic trick is a sign of how serious you are to your craft. 👋

[@MagicKjell]

Wow, what you have developed with your magic. This is a masterpiece and cannot be done better by the best. You have a fantastic aura. ... after all, I've been a judge in magic at Norra Brunn in Stockholm, so I know what's good. Wish you All the best in the "future" 😂😮😅.

[@nitedk]

It was a great trick and a cute magician 😊 But it could be improved by a less obvious force... and I think he should do the reveal of the red back before the drawing. Showing the drawing, he has already "proven" that it's the same card so of course it's got a red back.

[@isaacgriffin7132]

Well done! Fooled me.

[@nouser7036]

Så jävla mäktigt Vilgot!! Är så stolt över dig❤️ / Ilana

[@RODGERGRUMMIDGE]

Fairly simple for P&T to work out. Brooke was forced and P&T weren't allowed to inspect all the cards. And the reason the red reveal was so important to the effect is that the audience might suspect there were 2 cards with drawn stick figures. But nice work presented with great confidence! Well done.

[@c1arkj]

Yeah, I saw the force too.

[@TobyIKanoby]

Yeah, the force was a bit to obvious to me, I am no magician but just know the concept. I think if that was done a bit more elegant the trick would be a bit better.

[@lrissunflower]

Well done! Was not expecting the card to be on the other side lols

[@jigga2jones]

Wholesome. Love Brooks too in this. :)

[@AndyPaxTheGameCat]

I don’t think I got the code but…he drew the picture himself. The “time traveler” was already snuck into P&T’s deck before the box was closed.

[@Alan_Hans__]

Very nice. The selection of the card is probably the only part of the trick that needs work. I didn't see where the card ended up in the future deck but the Jedi mind trick to select the 6 of diamonds was the most obvious part of the trick.

[@mut88]

Definitely very poor "Star Wars". Otherwise great performer. 2:50 and it's set

[@MsCartman74]

The force was painful. Like really painful, his hand just hovered over it.
