FOOLER! Wrapped up in plastic wrap and still FOOLS on Penn & Teller: Fool Us

[@wildwing94ckan]

Alan, when I watch what happens in .25x speed, it's plainly obvious that I am fooled 4 times slower. Great trick!

Allison’s quick thinking with the cellophane wrap at the end was genius

[@BassCossack1]

she knew immediately when he said he did not. ...OH! and grabs the remaining cellophane.

@@andrew66862 Hey! No need to throw shade on my boy Jonathan Woss.

[@craigaherrington]

I said the same thing out loud watching the video, great job Allison on improvising and putting a stamp on the end of the segment.

[@cg21]

The woman is a fantastic host.

[@boreduser12]

Could be the producer telling her in her ear

[@xXFluffers]

my favorite moments on fool us are when penn suggests the solution to the trick, often times fairly confidently, only to have the magician tell him that no, that's not it at all. Penn and teller both immediately get so excited when they hear their hunch was wrong, it's honestly really cool to see how passionate they are

[@gonzalogoded2089]

Bear in mind producers can tell them if they are correct or not. I believe producers wouldn't let them tell the method right away if they were correct, so in this case I believe Penn knew very well he was guessing wrong

[@dr.floridamanphd]

@@gonzalogoded2089 that’s true. There’s even been a few rare cases where Allison gets informed by one of the producers/judges saying P&T didn’t get it even though they believed they did.

[@zakmartin]

The old cellophane trick! I can't believe Penn and Teller didn't see through it.

[@jimbobjones9330]

That was a pretty transparent attempt at humor.

[@ericmol2614]

Yeah, it's all over now. That's a wrap.

[@TylerMann]

Damn!! Nice work! And I love Alison already grabbing the wrap before the Fooler came up, she was so excited she had the idea lol

[@falcoproudneck]

I'm not a magician, but I feel like the soul of this trick was in the misdirection and not on the moves. Absolutely beautiful.

[@hanstrolljegeren4317]

Misdirection is one of the primary fundamentals to magic/sleight of hand. Indeed, sometimes, that's the point.

[@Misteribel]

I may be wrong, but Penn not talking in code could’ve been because he almost certainly knew it wasn’t the right guess anyway. Congrats on a fabulous, funny trick! ❤

[@danielmann5427]

That was my thought too. He knew it wasn't a right guess.

[@stephenbeck7222]

Yes, Penn is a showman through and through. When he doesn’t have code for a correct guess that he likes, he just has Teller draw a diagram in his notebook and shows it to the magician discreetly.

[@alexanderchang4735]

@@stephenbeck7222 could be wrong but maybe that (teller walking up/whispering in his ear) couldn’t happen due to the covid regulations? No idea though and maybe Penn did think his guess was wrong

[@danieldk5148]

I've seen comments saying that they take much kore time than we see here and the producers/judges can gear everything they say and even say something back like "if you think thats it, you can just say it".

[@theoh.5734]

Not wanting to break one secret of the show, so just a litle: Penn did know it wasn't the right guess

[@zenwarrior6945]

My favourite part of this is that you seem legitimately surprised that you fooled Penn and Teller. Congratulations!!!

ah yes, the card "FOUNTION"

It's a wrap. Alyson came up with a very original idea. I bet you kept laughing for a good long time after the show. 😀 I love your performance!

[@tunghnguyen]

I bet the reflex from all those sitcom years must have helped haha

[@torma99]

We had to wait for it for years but this was the time when I first felt Allison was on par with Jonathan Ross as a host.

[@sabotagethefool]

Alan saying Alyson is the best in the business, her at the end with the cellphone showing she is worthy of such a claim, loved that, loved the act, love the UK bringing home another FU trophy!

[@jayducharme]

That was delightful. It's nice to see you wrapped up in your work.

[@EDBybee]

Really great act. Loved the patter and your wonderful humor. Seeing Teller's expression when the card appears was priceless. Thoroughly enjoyed act.

[@hquest]

The producer of that jacket, or those shoes, might be very proud of such timely applied physics like yours. Amazing performance, kudos for fooling P&T.

[@VarmintLP]

I feel like this is a hint as to how he did it. I have my suspicions on that too.

[@jl98456]

I'd bet double or nothing it's not the shoes

[@thexanderthemander]

He palms the card and puts it under the Lapel of his jacket. When he moves his arm a certain way it drops from his jacket.

[@thomasdickson3622]

Very close and almost perfect, rewatching it I can see how it's done; it does involve motion but the card never moved ...

[@cycling_coder]

Love it, great performance and stage presence! Teller really seemed shocked when the card appeared under the wrap!

[@andrewtessman9921]

Honestly, I think Alyson's solution at the very end was both brilliant and befitting, given the act and props.

[@CyberwizardProductions]

good act and a hysterically funny ending. I think the absolute best part was when you proved to penn that you couldn't move your arms by trying to hold the bottom of the trophy as you exited the stage.

[@akhere4279]

He didn't say that he couldn't move his arms... he said he didn't do it that way.. he did it another way.

[@radu_nedelcut]

Loved the trick. Video editing prevents me from fully enjoying it but still had a lot of fun watching this and I don't know how it's done. Congratulations!

[@litigioussociety4249]

Alyson at the end really put the cherry on top of the whole scene.

[@4ntig3n]

Finally one that I understood but P&T didn't. Great act :)

[@jttech44]

The move was so appropriate and natural, you really couldn't see it unless you know it's happening, and even then, the card just shows up, like it still looks like magic, which is very very cool.

[@ShaneKnockItOff]

Nice trick! Hands fully tied, I wouldn't want to yank your chain 😉

[@robertharvey6030]

Managed to spot the trick but took a while, thats the magic of how you expertly delivered the trick with great comedy, huge congrats, hope the very best for you and your magic career!

[@jackedwardkelly13]

[@ShaneCarr]

Brilliant cardistry and misdirection from the moment the trick begins to the moment you pull the trigger and the deck of cards explodes.

[@NWSanta]

All of you magicians are mind bending and truly amazing people; thank you for somehow bending reality!!! Super impressive!

[@stevenfagaly3810]

Rather amazing to see comedy magic fool them as the primary goal is to entertain. Unique, creative act.

[@maumbu]

I've seen soo many episodes and this is the first time I've ever re-watched a trick. Congrats mate. 👏🏿

[@ace_falken5362]

"I'm gonna find that card again without slight of hand..." It is a magicians job to lie to us. Though to be fair, once he was wrapped up his arms and fingers didn't have to bend. And after watching the whole routine like 5 times including using .25x speed (slow mo didn't help) I think I figured it out... Brilliant trick, cling wrap and the card launcher being the only items not common to every magician. (Everyone already has cards, clothing, and a pen)

[@AzaFTW]

whats the solution?

[@a24396]

Amazing trick and perfectly delivered! Thanks so much for posting!

[@IzroneI]

What a great routine. Enjoyed it! I feel like the crowd didn’t appreciate your humor as much as they should have, though.

[@JediPhoenix1976]

[@KB-ld7jw]

[@MrGiye]

Amazing performance, and you're incredibly fun to watch!! . And such an elegant outfit. You chose a perfect way to keep everything wrapped together till the end of the act! I'm happy the producers are careful enough to edit in such a respectful way for the magic to stay alive. Next time you could try the same act wearing boxing gloves.. can you imagine that?? please imagine that... all the best wishes!!

[@uhohhotdog]

I’m claustrophobic and just seeing you wrapped up like that for so long nearly gave me a heart attack

[@michael12700]

After watching this many, many times, I am pretty convinced I have a very good guess on how the trick was performed. Though, I'll keep that guess to myself!

[@Belfastchild1974]

From the first moment, I thought you had the card palmed in your left hand and during the wrapping was able to put it up there. I was kinda surprised that Penn went for the right hand, and then even after you said it wasn't that and he switched to left he still didn't have it right. So apart from a great routine, it was also very successful at misdirecting people who think they might have an idea.

[@MeepsGO]

Oh wow very cool. I can think of one way but it seems so risky but genius

[@oopomopoo]

.25 at the right moment and you can see what happens ;) Very well thought!

[@samdurham6277]

Such a cool trick. It's so much more personable than getting the card behind the glass.

[@JumboJabs]

Great trick! Sometimes I wonder how Penn & Teller don't get the trick. Pretty positive I know how it's done but still a great performance and Alan is hilarious.

[@follower8815]

How’s it done??

[@caveman7854]

Thigh think it was great movement and patter. Excellent trick

[@valscripted]

I think him walking off the stage without showing his back is the key to his trick

[@Telris86]

I'm fairly certain I saw the move to set up the trick. Honestly I'm a bit surprised that they didn't notice it. Based on the look on your face I guess you were very surprised as well. Very well presented and entertaining. So good job and hope you enjoy that trophy!

[@AlanHudsonmagician]

They only 1 chance to watch. They don’t have the luxury of repeated viewings on KZbin

[@chomskybeat]

That was amazing. Top change was cool too but wow, I dont even know how exactly you took it from the deck in the fooling trick 😲

[@tunafishboi4236]

So i sort of have an idea when things got switched up and possibly an idea how this COULD work... would I be able to create and perform it? Absolutely not. Lol. Awesome magic.

[@andycain4351]

Really enjoyed this, congratulations and I hope you managed to get out of the cling film eventually ❤️👍

[@SteveBrecht]

I just figured out the path the card took and I'll say the misdirection was incredibly well done! I never would have caught it without being able to watch it again. Wonderful!!

[@Daedric_Angel]

I watch a lot of magic videos, that is the extent of my knowledge, lol, I don't do magic. I am pretty sure I figured it out right away, could be wrong though. That being said well done! And no I won't add what I figured out, wouldn't want to risk spoiling it if I am right.

[@jackmartinleith]

Just watched it again at quarter speed and the only fishy thing I spotted is at 4:54, where there's chest-level movement beneath the clingfilm. Dummy right hand with moving fingers perhaps? No, because Alan H said that's not how he did it. So I'm still puzzled.

[@pepe6666]

I couldn't see through that trick at all! It was so fresh.

[@Alan_Hans__]

Nice. The 2nd sleight is the important 1 and it most definitely wasn't the right arm/hand.

[@keithnaylor1981]
