Aleš Hrdlička on Penn & Teller: Fool Us in Las Vegas

[@woodchuk1]

If you make Penn giggle like that, you’ve won, trophy or no trophy. Well done, sir!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

That’s how I see it :) Thank you Woodchuk

[@stantheman143]

Throughout the decade of the show, Penn was filled with shock, awe, surprise, anger even; he was inspired, he laughed, he enjoyed the humor, the patters of many, many, many magicians, but I don't think I've seen him ever filled with this much pure joy with a performance. Well done lad.

[@Mauritsonline]

YES, absolute PURE joy, it might have had even more meaning than 'fool us (with magic)' - this made him fall in love with a routine he never appreciated before - this is indeed EXCEPTIONAL

[@ales.hrdlicka]

🙏😇

[@FabiasShipman]

Best show I’ve ever seen. Took me 10 seconds to decide that. Thank you.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Fabias :)

[@markp44288]

This was really beautiful. Really. Thank you!!!!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@xiaoyu88]

Surreal! loved it. I have a warm place in my heart for the Czech Republic and I knew I would love this act, almost as Penn :D Lots of love from Israel

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you 😇Much appreciate your comment, greetings from Prague

[@kumel619]

He wasn't here to fool them but to entertain. Totally loved it & was smiling all the way till end. TY

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Amen. Cheers :)

[@NecroOver]

I don't care about the methodas, but hands down - it was the best act in this kinda niche I can remember and one of the most enjoyable acts I ever seen on this show, without trying to lie to myself . It was very joyful, thank you .

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Immanis for all your kind words! Made my day :)

[@Ixzion]

Awesome performance man! Thanks for making and sharing it!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

My pleasure! Thanks a lot :)

[@janekrubes]

Úžasný a skvělý! Obdivuji a smekám. Dělá mi strašnou radost, když někdo tahkle reprezentuje naši zem!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

S radostí a pýchou! Moc díky Janku za milá slova :) Stay Honest!

[@janekrubes]

Snad natočíš nějaké video kde popíšeš jak to celé probíhalo, myslím, že nejen mě by to zajímalo. @@ales.hrdlicka

[@twistedsisterr]

So different & made me laugh the whole time!! You're so talented!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

@@twistedsisterr wow! Thank you 😇

[@plectrumura]

I don't think I've ever seen the judges and the performer both having the time of their life at the same time. This was incredibly wholesome and well-executed. Superb job man.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

I had the time of my life :) happy you could see that

[@russofamerica]

Amazing performance! Strong physical comedy, a joy to watch! Also, the music was fly!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you so much Russ!

[@gatorwrestler303]

One of my favorite acts I've ever seen on this show. Great job

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you for your kind words 😊

[@bambulkomccloud3983]

I never knew that juggling can be so much fun. That was really enjoyable!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

❤

[@Ryataro21]

As a fellow juggler who also loves magic, you got me smiling too throughout your whole routine. I'm excited youtube recommended this video when it has inspired me to work more on my own magic routine with ball juggling. All the creativity with rings in your performance is an absolute delight to watch. Keep up the great work! 😄

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Ryo, greatly appreciated!

[@TorQueMoD]

I love that he came on the show without any intent to fool them, but just to put on an amazing performance. I agree with Penn's response... it was joyous!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you! I am so happy it translated :)

[@IncompleteTheory]

Penn is known for over-the-top praising any act but this one was truly heart-warming. The juggling really struck a nerve with him. Great show, thanks for uploading!

[@veigrvran8728]

That was his way of saying he knew what the trick was... How many times can he say "giggling" before you figure it out?

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thanks for leaving a comment ;) means a lot

[@olivier2553]

That is a very beautiful act.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thanks Olivier!

[@fourierbird]

This made me grin ear to ear from start to finish. I felt like a kid again, watching ring juggling for the first time. Superb performance!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

🙏😇

[@Blueroyalty]

I'm actually not a fan of juggling but absolutely LOVED your act! You brought so much energy and innovation to the stage! Well done sir 👏

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Gustavo! Means so much to me! :)

[@damnshadyone]

such an amazing act, one of my favorites i've seen on this show. well done man

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Big words. Means a lot :) thank you

[@Bowinkle69]

Such a unique performance 👏 well done, and thanks for being able to witness it ❤

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thanks- My pleasure!

[@N22ndo]

I have no idea how he did anything and I love it, I really felt like a little kid with joy again.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

So nice to read reactions like this one! 😊 thank you!

[@Hypno_Daddy]

Man the vibe of the light and the black void of the backdrop, really just gave this something from out of space, and I just adore the choice of colors you made, gotta say this is probably one of the most risky ways of using that technique and it worked out perfectly. The movement, the fluidity, this has got to be my most favorite juggling/magic act this year

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you so much for your kind words! So happy my directions and artistic choices that I keep questioning all the time, are seen.

[@eaberrydc]

Joyous, beautiful, astonishing.

[@tristonwilkinson]

This was the greatest thing I've ever seen

[@ales.hrdlicka]

🤯🙏😇

[@infinitonica2362]

Been watching and performing magic and juggling since I was 5.... for over 35 years.... one of the most creative acts I have ever seen. Fantastic!!

[@andrewvelonis5940]

The fact that his act is wordless means he can perform it for audiences of any language.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Your comment means so much to me! Thank you 😇

[@modalize]

i dont wanna blink man, this is insanly amazing

[@ales.hrdlicka]

😉 Thanks a lot!

[@spencethejuggler]

Love the blend of magic and ring juggling! So fun and pretty effective!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you! Much more ring research to come 🤫

[@philippejacquet8617]

As a fellow juggler, I can only congratulate you for your creativity on this one ! How many times have I seen performers boringly alternating between different siteswap patterns... But on this routine you really explored the possibilites of the rings and it was a real breath of fresh air ! Keep up the good work :)

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Philippe :)

[@stevewebber707]

Your blend of juggling and light hearted magic, was both entertaining and joyful. I think the reaction you got from Penn, resonates with me and the rest of the audience. There have been many amazing acts on fool us. But I think that you, hands down, presented the one that was the most fun.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Steve! ☺️

[@hyde33]

Great magic, pretty skirt!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

I really appreciate this comment! Thank you 🌻

[@grimmriffer]

When you watch a juggler, you know you're watching someone actually do what it looks like they're doing. So with this, I had to keep reminding myself that rings don't disappear and reappear and go floppy, and there's a magic act seamlessly rolled into it too! 🤣

[@ales.hrdlicka]

😇

[@manjisaipoe517]

Loved your routine Ales, and loved the reaction from the audience and judges almost as much. A true entertainer in every way. Peace.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

❤

[@nowomennokids641]

Wow, how cool was that? The whole act was smooth and graceful, totally engrossing. Loved it!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you so much ☺️

[@twistedpixie6972]

That was a beautiful combination of flow and magic. So much joy in the performance from Aleš that it filled the audience with the same!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

❤

[@walternullifidian]

I would call this kinetic art! 🤪

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you 😊 I take that!

[@SvenskSork]

This is very very good. Its like a little tripp into fantasy land!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

I am so happy to read reactions like this! ❤

[@hfcriske]

I completely lost it at the first "manbun manipulation". This was superb

[@ales.hrdlicka]

😂cheers 😇

[@zachz8880]

Absolutely amazing!! Was an absolute joy to watch ❤

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Zach :)

[@ShinjiSixteen]

Absolutely phenomenal!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

🙌 Thank you Shinji!

[@Lky-Pky]

I love this act! I've been in and out of magic for the last 6 years. But I've started to see the wonder and joy magic can bring people. Volunteering to perform seems like an amazing thing. Thanks for being awesome!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Lukey :) keep it up!

[@magolaiton]

Omg that’s a very good rutine, I love all the performance , I see a beautiful new movements in the juggling rings Congrats

[@ales.hrdlicka]

😇

[@adriansolis5362]

Seriously such an incredible performance. And to see Penn giggle like a little kid was about as magical as your energy and skill. Wonderful

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Adrian! 😇

[@JimboBimbo355]

Paráda, gratluju! Cena nebo ne, bylo videt to nadseni a jak je to bavilo... a to je to hlavni!!

[@geobooo]

Great show would love to see it in person I think it would be even better.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Hopefully one day 🤞 😊

[@asymmetricfuzion970]

As someone with a very tiny bit of knowledge around juggling, this was absolutely world class. Insanely impressive. So so good

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you for your praise 😊

[@LDFeyre]

Awesome performance! Your act was beautiful. I enjoyed it so much! Thank you for sharing this =)

[@ales.hrdlicka]

[@zohebsuleman1678]

amazing!! hope you make it big big time!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Zoheb, hopefully one day 🤞 Greetings

[@MikeGervasi]

Anytime you can make them giggle and smile it's a win. Especially Teller with a card trick as he's a master of card control. When he gets that happy baby smile, the rest is frosting.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

I love his smile so much :)

[@CazualTim]

There are some people whose joy and enthusiasm are just unavoidably contagious. Thanks for sharing with us, I loved it!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you for your kind words! 😊

[@RobertBallMagician]

Your performance was wonderful 😊👍😊👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you Robert 🙏😇

[@loduk102]

I love the act but i also love the Euro techno in the background.

[@Ogsonofgroo]

To see the gents so tickled has me filled with joy and a stupid smile on my face, what a fantastic act!

[@pauldelcour]

Absolutely wonderful, beautiful, comical and so enjoyable!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you Paul :)

[@prrevil]

Best reaction from Penn ever 🤩

[@ales.hrdlicka]

I was so happy for it :)

[@Mauritsonline]

wauw, WauW, WAUW! what an exceptional beautiful and aestheticly perfect routine, I loved every second of it, what a beautiful choreo, what a good taste of performance. And yes, the fact that you had Penn's heart run faster as well, says it all: YOU ARE ORIGINAL and GREAT! *makes a humble bow*

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Wow, I am speechless 😮 Thank you for the praise! 🙏❤️

[@huseyx2]

This was joyous and unique! Thank you for creating that routine

[@ales.hrdlicka]

😇 thank you for your compliment!

[@tequilacollins]

I've seen more complex juggling acts, but this is the most beautiful one I've ever seen. Very well done.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

🥰🙏😇

[@8o8inSquares]

That was absolutely astonishing! Well done man!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

🙏Thank you man! 👀

[@heatshield]

That was outstanding. Some of those elite moves could have fallen down at any time. What a great performance.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you for the recognition

[@heatshield]

Joyful watching again. Thank you.

[@SpyroTheEternalNight]

man, this has everything. it's silly, it's dramatic and suspenseful, it's surreal, parts of it are REALLY tough to perform, ... man, you're going places. this is the kind of stuff that gets skeptics watching.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you so much! 🥰🙏

[@vidaroni]

Fantastic performance! The most entertaining juggling act I've ever seen, for sure!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

That means a lot to me! Thanks 🙏

[@zakmartin]

That was so smooth, I actually forgot you were juggling.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Mission accomplished :) thank you🙏

[@nelligan5477]

Incredibly skillful and imaginative. Well done Ales, and thanks for giving me a refreshing and delightful performance.

[@ericallen774]

I have never watched one of these segments that brought tears to my eyes, It was so beautiful, and he is a beautiful person as well. wow

[@ales.hrdlicka]

🥲💖

[@poja82]

Tremendous act. This was years in the making, no doubt.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

You are absolutely right. Thanks for recognizing that ;)

[@sam_murai]

Aw c'mon Penn and Teller - even though you weren't technically fooled, this was definitely a crowd-pleasing Vegas-worthy performance. You should be making an exception for excellence in showmanship

[@ales.hrdlicka]

😇 Thank you Sam!

[@juanchis.investigadorsonoro]

The best praise ever! Make Penn do THAT. You won the best award ❤❤❤

[@ales.hrdlicka]

[@rewandemontay]

Awesomely surreal performance! Superb skill.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thanks a lot Rewan! 😇

[@Antis14CZ]

Perfektní představení, myslím, že Penn to vystihl dobře. Oni jsou veteráni, vědí, jak se to dělá a předpokládám, že ve tvém případě ti ani nešlo o "Fool", ale o to, dát jim šou. A to se ti povedlo. Bravo =)

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Je to tak :) děkuji moc

[@MrBitterman75]

Udělali ti super stage, krásný!!! Moc gratuluju, skvělej výkon!!!

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Jojo, stage se jim povedla :) díky moc!

[@RobbBoswell]

Very entertaining.. kudos for that valiant effort to fool Penn & Teller.. 😊🤘🏼🇺🇲

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thanks Robb!

[@im1fadedRob]

WOW! Absolutely stunning performance. It just felt like juggling at first, but you incorporated the juggling into your magic so wonderfully! Very beautiful and fun to watch. You deserve every word of praise that Penn had for you and so much more. I hope you have nothing but success going forward.

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thank you so much for your high praise!

[@reason43poole37]

Krásné, fakt tě mají rádí :-). Posledně je Odnřej Přeniška trochu naprudil (3x), ale tohle se jim očividně líbilo od začátku.

[@SkyeRangerNick]

That was a lot of fun; even on the small screen of my desktop here at home. Thank you. I don't think I giggled much (I am more of a gawky grin type) but I sure joined in on the applause a lot. 🙂

[@ales.hrdlicka]

Thanks for joining 🙏😇
