[@ValexNihilist]

what i love about this is that i have NEVER seen a trick even remotely similar. glad to see the magic world is still being innovative

[@MihaiSorohan]

The truth is that he has four, but he's very good at keeping one of them hidden.

[@djona4724]

Every time i thought one of them was fake, he just threw a curve ball at me. I'm thoroughly impressed.

[@itzme3588]

Messi is doing magic now 😄

[@vinnydarrc3953]

Ikr

[@DoseofScienceDoS]

I think he only has one real leg and two fake legs

[@mikemc4549]

@@DoseofScienceDoS At the end i was thinking no real legs so might be on to something

[@MrBurn360]

hope he broke a leg... or two...

[@rgeorge9260]

Where is the Penn & Teller reaction / their review? I want to know what they thought, and whether they were fooled!

[@zebfross]

That finale showing "all the legs" were fake was just fantastic. Loved this trick!

[@matthewbarry7026]

what? Pretty sure only one was fake, or does this actually have no legs?

[@nthomas87]

This was maddeningly confusing because I know good and damn well there is something incredibly simple going on somewhere. Brilliant performance.

[@TheGreatCigma]

I thought my dress shoes were expensive, imagine having to find a center shoe 🙃 The sleight of hand, the puppetry, and the pantomime are amazing and the physicality of the piece is on another level.

[@Tooterbooter]

I didn’t pay attention until reading this commend, but it looks like he has 2 left shoes and 1 right shoe 🤔

[@richardlloyd2589]

Maybe he alternates.

[@MegaSahil009]

the sleight of "Leg" you mean

[@boothy918]

Just amazing all round. It appeared obvious at times which was the fake leg but then a number of times he threw us off. The music, the act the variety of tricks all perfect. Loved this.

[@electrojones]

I've seen all the multiple-leg acts in the US and in Europe from 1960 on. I've seen Milton-pede the thousand-legged man, Ten-Foot Jerry Lang, Gladys Wilson-Tate, the Spider-Woman, Ben Octopus Reilly, and all the other greats. This man managed to do with 3 legs what Frank Charles couldn't do with a dozen. He can write his own ticket on the multi-limb circuit.

[@robertray8510]

Original, creative and deceptive. I loved this!!!! One of my favorite acts so far on P&T!

[@nadnerb2k]

Is it weird that this performance almost gave me a third leg? Bloody well done.

[@stevemikellides5711]

Hahaha 💪 that's my favourite comment of 2022!! 👍😂🤛

[@sagarsrivastava8238]

[@TheMorg101]

youtube should hold rewards for comments like this one

[@davidtogi5878]

Well if ur a male then u already have one, though a lil bit shorter 🤭

[@cheesethrower]

It's a simple illusion but that execution is divine. I've seen a few multi-leg acts but this is the first one that truly pulled off the optical illusion. I have no idea what you're using for the third leg but the mechanics of it must be pretty intricate, well done.

[@DoseofScienceDoS]

It really appears he has two fake legs and one real leg

[@OneAndOnlyZekePolaris]

He has 2 real legs, 3 fake legs.

[@iDanceMyButtOff]

he has two real legs, the other one is his THIRD leg 😏

[@seeps9353]

His "third leg" is so big it has a knee... less like magic and more like magic Mike.

[@billytheripper4]

@@seeps9353 this guy gets it

[@AC-gw4qu]

Amazing. I'd say that we really gotta give Alex Adler a hand, but if we did that would probably create another ten minute routine with three hands. Stunningly good.

[@stevemikellides5711]

That was bonkers insanely impressive, he just kept dialing it up, and up and up, what an inspired performance 👏👏

[@noahjwhitmore]

Very cool act! Like Teller "said", the best part wasn't proving that all three were real, but it was proving that all three were fake. Had me guessing which ones were real the whole time. Penn had a lot of good things to say about you, well deserved! Congrats on being on the show!

[@Kamarkarze]

Although I followed the fake leg the whole way through, I was still entertained enough to watch it twice in a row.

[@mattdillon3617]

I freaking LOVED this performance and was TOTALLY baffled!! It's weird...it's bizarre...and a little intriguing....but I couldn't stop watching!

[@thornofsociety6857]

Right up Penn & Teller's alley.

[@mathewoneill5543]

Phenomenal act! So original and beautiful

[@anshumansingh3071]

Don't watch this when you are high

[@benjamindeliege486]

Wow! Congratulations for this show! Thank you for these 3 magical minutes

[@magnetisk]

I've loved this piece for many years now. Axel is a genius.

[@metalhead3913]

This is amazing!! and you can tell Teller was touched by this brilliant performance too!!!

[@michaelwicks1088]

its so up Penne and Tellers street

[@TsunamiBeefPies]

Astounding. And so much fun! Effortlessly performed, even though it must be incredibly demanding.

[@johnhein2539]

Out of left field and wonderful. I do some close up and have never been crazy about performing to music, but when I see others excel at it, I get the itch. This is a fantastic trick!

[@waltermanfred826]

Being a magic dilettante (amateur), I can "see" the sheer artistry and craft involved in this totally amazing performance. I agree with Penn's assessment that if a trophy should be given for performance, Axel's act would run away with it. Till now I am amazed at the alacrity and dexterity in the leg switches. Kudos. You got a fan!

[@sleepinggorilla]

They should have such a trophy for favorite acts. Just having Penn and Teller say that you are great probably opens doors for people.

[@blayral]

great performance showing how timing and choregraphy is essential to any magic routine

[@gauravupasani9088]

What a performance 👍🏻👍🏻. Just briliant. Left me completely speechless.

[@sharam5614]

Holy moly this is one of the most imaginative, creative and fabulous magic i have seen.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

Not the most mystifying feat, but a really clever idea, very well executed. And lots of fun to watch! Unique and whimsical. Thank you for it, Axel!

[@markfdesimone]

Those are very mystifying feet!

[@jacobwondolowski4096]

WoW! What a performance! Congratulations @Axel Adler!

[@KirusLab]

We just all watched a man play with his third leg.

[@tannerlambdin622]

i thought i had it figured out like 6 different times, and then he would change it completely, that was genuinely amazing!!!!

[@shLSS]

This was one of the most magical routines on FU I have seen. And I have seen all of the episodes available on YT :-)

[@Pillowcase]

Thats a great routine. I've watched a lot of acts on this show, and this is one of my favorites for sure.

[@darthslackus499]

Somewhere, someone is missing a shoe.

[@DavidUng]

This is just amazingly fun to watch. It's so awesome seeing how artistically awesome you've come along. I still remember your Arrows routine fondly!

[@leaheubanks3881]

I loved every second! Want to see more!

[@yong79]

What in gods name did I just watch!? This is brilliant! Who wakes up and thinks of I’ll do a third leg magic trick?

[@stuart2673]

I absolutely love this act! There have been various other three-legged acts (Jake the Pegg, Rudy Coby etc.) but they all tend to wear long coats. This is so cleverly constructed (both as a theatrical piece and the leg) - and as P&T point out, the trick is to present all the legs as fake, not just a fake leg as real. Really want to see the four-arm routine and a two head routine now!

[@strooomon]

One of the most enjoyable acts of the long standing terrific series. Bravo.

[@damienjames739]

That was one of the greatest things I have ever seen!! Brilliant! 😀

[@andrewtessman9921]

The act is so insanse and elegantly done. I can only agree with what Penn said (from the full episode, going beyond this clip). Fooling the two masters is one thing, but the presentation is out of this world!

[@dustinthewind2648]

Did he fool them? I'm guessing not, but I'm sure they were as impressed as we are.

[@steviejd5803]

Brilliant music

[@hixx1987]

I had the pleasure to see this number in Madrid ON LIVE before the pandemic, and I can ensure after attend to many magician shows that this is one of the most impacting and very disruptive tricks I had the pleasure to see on a liveshow! Totally different to whatever you saw before and vey enjoyable if you can see it at 10meters far!

[@tousurlo]

As usual: unique, beautiful and brilliant.

[@Geeksmithing]

I guess we aren't supposed to know if he fooled them? Lame.

[@JunkyardBashSteve]

Isn't obvious? That one right there is fake! No.. that one. Stop moving it, it's the third one right there

[@aamodthakur5791]

It is very entertaining. Watched it again and again, great show.

[@tysonthomas7094]

What a different and incredibly awesome act!

[@hillbilyjed1318]

I wish my third leg is as huge as his.

[@petterwadsten]

Brilliant, funny and beautiful. Masterpiece!

@Axel Adler This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Brilliant.

[@theembalmer3987]

This is a classic use of hands technique created back in the 40's. Carnival scene. My grandfather was a carnie and stories he told were so entertaining we sat around him on Saturday nights... Although he knew all the parlor tricks he never spilled the beans about them, it's the code magicians follow.

[@rubenkertesz6333]

Love that at the end he takes two legs "off"
