[@innocenttembo3434]

I love how Penn is so respectful in his analysis and feedback to the Magicians' work. Great judge!!!!

[@rodrigogodoy5318]

I felt that too

[@youtubeSuckssNow]

This time the admiration she showed was truly amazing. A lot of people get the "that was amazing and some snarky quips" But this was so genuine.

[@CyberBeep_kenshi]

Ye, they just love the art

[@brettbarager9101]

I really respect that about Penn.

[@monica11760]

I am always amazed how quickly Penn can come up with a reply, in code, if they were not fooled.

[@HalcyonSerenade]

The magician "ruining" the trick by casually preempting the end (like when he shows one hand at a time from beneath the handkerchief, supposedly _before_ he escapes) is probably my favorite magic trope. It's understated -- by acting casually about it, the magician doesn't draw attention to it and it _looks_ perfectly natural, but when you think about it, they _shouldn't_ even be _able_ to do it. It's like the magician saying "I know that you know that the trick can happen at any moment, so let's have fun with this." Danial executed this fantastically!

[@arandombard1197]

It's smart because we instinctively know that he can probably get out of those thumbcuffs, so by pre-empting it just before the reveal it throws us a curveball because we thought that it was going to be the final reveal. Now we're not sure what we should be looking for and we don't have enough time to speculate before he reveals the card around his two thumbs.

[@djalexander968]

yeah theres been times ive only realized after the fact like wait what happened to the trick?!?!? lol

[@DaFunkmastaFresh]

Red herring!

[@luderudecrude]

the deliberate showing of slipping his cuffs was a distraction so you wouldn't see him poking holes in the cards. putting the cards away and acting like he wouldn't do the card part because Allison "screwed it up" was also a distraction. he didn't pull out the same pack

[@Vinemaple]

Yeah, it's the first time I actually did a double take for it--and I've seen it before, too!

[@goldeneddie]

What style, what humour, what skill, what a triumph! As a fellow magician, I'm full of admiration Daniel - top class!

[@yggdrasil7942]

It's the humour that counts and yes, out of all the acts I've seen, he's in the top ten.

[@JiveDadson]

Ditto. On first viewing, I just went along for the ride. Wheeee. On second viewing, and knowing where it was going, I got it all. That made me appreciate the act even more! 🤌😗

[@vanmonroe4346]

Agree 100% --- he's witty and charming, yet humble and unassuming.

Dude was at my birthday party years ago. It's really more of a stand up show than a magic show. But that doesn't mean the magic is not really impressive.

Man, for so many people the language barrier can be such an obstacle for a performer, but you take the language and use it as such a wonderful and hilarious compliment to your act! Absolutely brilliant, one of my favorite performances ever on the show!

[@TheWesterlyWarlock]

It's actually integral to the act as well, as you see, his English isn't so good when he is giving instructions to Allison about putting the card back. ;)

This performance is so underrated! It's one of my favorites in the entire show. This should seriously have way more views.

how do you figure its underrated?

[@fleacero]

I love how at the very end, when Daniel nods acknowledging they know how the trick was done, Teller points to something they wrote just for him and when the camera changes you can see Daniel saying thank you to Teller. Daniel, ¡ha sido una actuación fantástica!

[@jwvandegronden]

Wow! Well spotted! Love that! He deserves all the praise.

[@Belle0477]

Thanks for pointing out this part. I missed it, and it makes the act even better.

[@CannibalAmerica]

[@DanielKmagia]

Thanks so much!!!!

[@lfcforever]

Never mind fooling, that performance alone deserves a trophy! 🏆

[@jwvandegronden]

He is genuinely warm and welcoming, open and funny. The way he touches Teller on the shoulder, and openly examines and admits he didn’t fool them, is so heart warming! What an amazing human being! And the trick was great and his comedic timing is impeccable. To top it of with his warm personality _(the way he guides his a audience guest off stage is so personal!)_ is so genuine if makes him one of the few naturals on stage, completely and utterly himself. Amazing stuff!!

[@robzecc]

Well done, that was great. Never heard Penn speaking so highly of anyone's performance, and I think he's right.

[@Tyler_Durden_562]

Feel like the fact that they refused to say any hints out loud is an accomplishment enough. To have Penn & Teller say your trick is a GEM and PERFECTION.....I mean dang, that's some high praise

[@J5Dev]

I am so with P&T on this... after the laughter had subsided, the first thing I thought, was "That was just beautiful"... because it was. Genuinely awe inspiring, thank you.

[@J5Dev]

You liked my comment... it brought me back to the video, which I watched again... and it is even better the second time, even though you know what will happen!

[@marcel1463]

Never knew Uruguay had so good magicans. That was a wonderful show from Daniel K. I watched it 3x times.

[@freddarsow798]

Fred Darsow 1 second ago This is absolutely perfect. He was completely successful-- He says: "People forgive a mistake, but don't forgive when the show is boring." His quips are short, fast, and funny. Rarely do the magicians/comedians keep me engaged and laughing out loud; usually the jokes are not particularly funny. I actually don't really care if they fool Penn & Teller. The way he keeps his performance very kinetic, the tempo and delivery fast throughout the routine and how he warmly interacts with Alison & Manuel (even w/ Penn & Teller-- they are just sitting there aghast) helps him get a kinesthetic response of real enjoyment and amusement. For me, this is the best routine that I have seen on this show.

[@benjaminsagan5861]

I just love this act. It's so cleanly executed and so charming. Side note: what an uncanny resemblance to Andy Garcia!

[@hobbscoblin1313]

[@FGQuinto]

Danial! Omg. Great act! I used to do a similar comedy thumb cuffs routine in the early 90s. I went away from magic and during that time i lost all of my magic things. I was left with only a few trinkets and the magic in my heart. Today i am studying my way back into magic. Until i saw this, i had forgot how well the thumb cuffs played for the spectators. This routine brought tears to my eyes. They are there still as i write this. Thank you for existing. I am going to buy the thumb cuffs and add a card routine. So perfect i wish i would have thought about it. Please except my rendition of it as a compliment to you. Maybe i will get it up on youtube. Again. Thank you for existing.

I am in full agreement with Penn. That really was a perfect routine. You are charming and funny throughout, there are a few surprises in the middle of the routine that are both fun for the audience (and I assume also necessary for the trick) and one big surprise at the end that is hard to see coming but like Penn said you knew was coming.

[@mattbohmfalk9717]

What's crazy is that even for a guy like me who has no magic background, it's easy to see exactly how (or at least when) he did each part of the trick when watching it the 2nd time through. But it's just performed so well that it isn't very noticeable the first time through. Like there's really nothing complicated about the trick at all. It's 100% sold with personality and performance. It's cool to see P&T give such praise to such a simple trick. I have no doubt that they knew exactly how he forced the card on her, how he switched the things he needed to switch, and how he did the whole thing from a sleight of hand standpoint. I think the only thing they were supposedly unsure of was a little detail about the appearance of the box she was holding at the end. The magician wisely and cleverly made it look like it was open and full of cards but there was some doctoring that helped sell that.

[@samantharynn9683]

100% agree, as someone who regularly obsesses over the how-it's-done of P&T contestants, the praise Penn gives the trick and the fact that he gives no hints, no code, made it more fun to decipher even though it's a wonderful use of selling simplicity. The comedy he uses is perfectly placed as an amazing misdirection, and on the first watch you don't even really catch what's going on. Spoilers ahead. Lest ye' be disillusioned, turn back. I figured out it was a force the minute the trick ended, just because of the fact that retrieving the card at that point was basically impossible. False shuffle, waterfall, the works. The false premise of the cuffs was amazing, and lends perfectly to the storytelling. Getting the guy to choose Houdini was even a force, look again at the backdrop! The box is definitely doctored to look like it's full of cards, while the real box is dropped in a pocket when he turns. Cover the hands, cuff escape, prove the cuffs are still there (which is genius when you think about the misdirection, because a moment later he pockets them!) into the pocket with the key, hand it off, a little movement as he punches two holes into a card that he palmed from the same pocket (you can actually hear him do this because of the lapel mic, but it's a similar sound to the cuffs coming on and off so it's negligible.) the copy of the forced card, and voila! Perfect excecution and a beautiful trick. Since P&T do this all the time, it's understandable they figured it out. But my, was it an amazing performance! I can tell it left Penn stunned. It left everyone stunned! I, for one, can't wait to see more!
