It's the way he so confidently says 'This is not a card trick' whilst simultaneously doing a blatent card trick in front of their eyes that makes it funny :P

[@ilmalocchio]

The power of suggestion. This is a really meta trick

[@maxthornton5301]

Wonderful trick, probably one of the boldest on the show. Walking that knives edge of simplicity. A single move that is so easy to catch if you are looking for it, but makes the trick seem incredible if you miss it, and after all what is a good magician besides a master of misdirection?

[@davidcorsaro]

Wow. Thank you very much

[@jorgedavid2568]

@Max Thornton Couldn't be said better. Many congrats @David Corsaro

[@davidcorsaro]

@@jorgedavid2568 thank you

[@Sam-py9qq]

The real genius element that meshes so well with the misdirecton is that the sleight of hand is not in a single flip which would be conspicuous for anyone tracking hands, but in 3 very natural parts of picking it up, holding it, and putting it down. The extended middle part in combination with the misdirection could easily make even an attentive tracker (especially someone anticipating a single quick sleight of hand) lose track of which orientation he picked it up in in the first place and thus have little reason to think it constitutes a flip

[@RetroFett]

To all those commenting what a "simple" trick this was. While technically not a demanding Kostya Kimlat or Shin Lim card handling routine, what sold this so well was David's presentation. There was SO MUCH he did right here... using the bell as a joke (and distraction), a steady demeanor and well delivered patter, the built in "Helen Coghlan" joke, the cover he provided himself when time for the move, and the way he walked away clean from the table should P&T ask to see the cards afterwards. And I believe he was betting on P&T trying to figure out the number of letters in the words adding up to the same value as a misdirect from the actual method (which they believed), as a nice decoy away from the actual method. This is a solid performance in a very stressful environment and David nailed it!

[@davidcorsaro]

Thank you

[@paulcrandall2534]

@@davidcorsaro You had total command of the table and their attention. It was certainly the confidence that sold the trick. Great job.

[@MikeP2055]

Very well put, mate. Crazy ninja-like dexterity doesn't always amount to a good trick. The one and only thing that matters is the execution.

[@YouTubeIsTrash57]

I would have to say youre right. At first i didnt really like this trick & couldnt believe it was a winner. But you make a good point. P&T have caught the smoothest of slight of hand moves from ACROSS the room. While sitting right there in front of him BOTH missed his move because of how perfect it was. Which is the game. The Best of the best, watch you & if you make them miss it. You win. Not my favorite trick, but like Allison said the simpler and faster it is the harder it is for them to spot.

[@burakdursun-xw3wo]

It's not about being simple or not. It was just not impressive at all. It had interesting built up but at the end I'm not impressed and find the whole routine weak; regardless of it's difficulty level (simple or not).

This is beautiful. He put it in their face with the Pavlov bell that he was going to get them to bite on the mentalism misdirection and created such a change of pace with the names on the cards concept that they didn’t even catch a card trick EVERYONE can see once they know to look.

[@CoryLuLu]

He even said, in the intro he uses psychology, but didn't say that's what he was gonna do tonight, rather he said "I'm going to be using a very powerful psychological technique"... Which isn't psychology, rather reverse-psychology.

The great thing about this trick is that it makes you think it's about word length. Your timing was perfect! When Penn started talking about the number of letters etc., you had that "Aweee you got me" look, Lol!. Great Job!

[@Ylyrra]

Loved everything about this, the presentation is amazing. Fooled me, and even now knowing how it was done and being able to see it... it just makes it that much more impressive. The misdirection is spot on to hide what's in plain sight, however smoothly and briefly.

[@davidcorsaro]

Thank you

[@vidmaster7]

I enjoyed this even though I was pretty sure I saw the deck flip, but I couldn't be positive because it was so smooth. After it was over, I checked and this is what happened: he turned the deck sideways, gathered the pile, and then simply laid it down upside down at 4:10. I didn't think he would fool them, but they completely missed that due to the superb storytelling, his confidence, and a very relaxed handling of the cards. Congratulations.

[@WarrenFeltmate]

Agreed, that was done extremely smoothly. The camera angle makes it hard to see, but I caught it the second time as well. However, had I been sitting there, I don't think I'd have seen it even if watching closely when he made the move.

[@MichaelStaiger]

There is something amazing about methods that most magicians would skip over. A lot of times both magicians and laypeople forget that you don’t need to create a new sleight of “move planets” to fool people. Props to Corsaro for creating an effect that uses good presentation over prestidigitation to fool people. That’s the sign of a good marketer!

Wow! So cool to see you on Fool Us! No reason you'd remember me, but I went to school with your sister. I remember you came to our 4th grade class at Marshall Hill and did a magic show for us. I was so amazed that D___'s brother (just a normal guy) was a magician. I always thought that magicians were... well, larger-than-life wizards who lived in mountain castles. I had no idea that a guy from my town could be a magician. That's what made me start learning magic tricks. I never went pro, but I still love magic even 30-something years later. So great to see that you're still doing it. And congratulations on the Fooler!!!

[@Hexspa]

“I should point out this is not a card trick.” Says the guy who’s there to fool everyone.

[@esilva8349]

That's magicians for ya. "Here is an average basic deck of 52 cards." Then why are you telling me that? "This coin is solid, and there is no way it could possibly go through this." I know, but why did you say that? All lies. That's why Teller is great, no words needed. You know why you are here and what he is. Just let my magic speak for me. Of course many magicians have great presence on stage. Just saying for the few, that tell us this thing is/isn't something when it really is/isn't. Some play into it, like that one magician on Fool Us I can't remember his name but I saw his video again recently. The trick was a card trick and he slowly revealed how he did the trick only to show that none of it was true and the "truth" ended up being a lie. It was very clever. It evolved 52 decks of cards on a wheel. Each deck had one real card and 51 blanks. Or did it? I'll see if I can find his name and edit it in. EDIT: Asi Wind is his name. His Fool Us performance is on KZbin, and worth a watch or re-watch.

[@maksphoto78]

I loved this trick! And Alyson's enthusiam. Yes, only after someone mentioned the deck flip did I see it on repeat.

[@patrickfarley8864]

so smooth and simple it's genius. Had to rewatch it about 5 times to notice the catch. Great trick!

[@davidcorsaro]

Thank you very much

[@Gooobae]

He definitely had the deck with all the names stop at a certain point, meaning if they picked the longest 3 words and he spelled them out, it would add up to for example 30 cards, that’s the maximum that could have been placed due to the word length, and then the other 22 cards where on the other side of the deck “upside down” so that when he flips the deck it still looks like it’s not been flipped, and simply his own named card was at the “bottom” of the deck, now at the top after the flip to make it look like their chosen words led him to that point, even though they could have chosen any 3 words. Extremely simple explanation and to think Penn and Teller didn’t get it, congratulations, very impressive to lead them elsewhere

[@mgia_unity1127]

You can actually see it happen at 4:10. Click back to 4:05 and watch the hand which handles the deck while he flips the cards on the table over. Can be seen at normal speed but very easy to catch at 1/4 speed as well. Very impressive to be able to pull one over on Penn and Teller like this when they are burning you, but he definitely took as much cover as possible by putting Penn and Teller on the same side of the table and covering the deck hand with the cards from the table as he flips the deck over. The two would have absolutely caught it if either were in Allison's chair. Of course I guess that is part of the game!

[@daveb5026]

Another one where the editing obscures the trick. If the camera had stayed on the deck, it would have been easier to see.

Am I dreaming, or did Alison get the trick? She went on about it being "simple" and P+T going down a more complex path and getting fooled, and literally that's exactly what happened.

[@blacxthornE]

I think she literally caught it. She was in a much better position to see it. I don't think she talked about the simplicity of the trick by pure chance. She probably told P&T later that she caught it and that's why she said they would be fooled if the trick was simpler.

it is being added to my list of simple yet elegant foolers. There are a few, not too many which are this elegant. Follow the leader is one, as is the doc you pulled. It took me some hints in the comments, time stamps and a slow motion replay, watching that several times even with the sound off, to finally understand how it was done. The audacity!! Well hidden from view, clever! despite them burning you, they were also cleverly taken on a trip down memory lane, with the names on the cards of their foolers and your accessible but very distracting banter and sense of humor encouraging them to focus on these names. So even though the "trick is just one move" as someone wrote in the comments, it is the multitasking that always takes my breath away. Beautiful trick man!! Well deserved!

I am not a magician but I went once to a magic school (just a trial evening) in Munich and learned there only one trick that was a bit better (and some children tricks) but at the one better trick (I weirdly have never seen anywhere on youtube) the one important move I had to do was a bit similar to your one, so I could concentrate on only one skillful thing AND A LOOOOT OF STORYTELLING to nicely confuse the spectators.

"This is not a card trick." It was... Only after I rewatched frame by frame. This was brilliantly disguised and I knew what I was looking for and still struggled to pick it.

Thank you

Damn. This is the first time I thought I knew how this was done and it was the same thing penn said and I was wrong again.

[@mikemclenison8200]

I remember this trick when it aired. That was fun!

Most simple yet beautiful magic. Yes the most impossible tricks have the simplest answers. 4:10

I wish I could be Teller sitting there. It mus've been amazing to experience misdirection after all these years trying to master it. Chapeau!

Thank you

I'm going to be completely honest... I didn't even catch that any trick was done. So when the routine ended and everyone was clapping, I was confused because I didn't think anything actually happened. I went back to watch a 2nd time and understood what was supposed to happen and then I saw on my 3rd watch how it was done. What mainly confused me was how disjointed everything felt. From Pavlovian bell ringing to picking words and counting letters... it didn't feel like a natural progression at all. Like what did Pavlov have to do with the trick at all? What was the significance of gathering those specific words from Penn? There just didn't seem to be any real logical thread at all. It was like reading a story that starts off "Once upon a time there was a princess." And then on the next page it goes "And then the child graduated at the top of their class. The end." Like.. was there even a story there? Why did it suddenly end? What even happened? - Essentially my feelings on this routine.

Thank you for your feedback.

That was so simple.. so easy.. just flipped the deck over when you put it down and boom, that was it, that was all of it. just.. so simple and bold in their face, good fuckin job.

[@biosdilt1399]

Wow I'm amazed, that's really the proof that you don't need to have insane techniques to pull off a stunning magic trick, literally a child could do it but it leaves you speechless anyway thanks to your great delivery! Great job there

[@davidcorsaro]

Thank you

[@applejacks971]

Huh, I thought I had it figured out before P&T left the stage. I was confident it was the number of letters in the word choices, as did P&T. Very cool performance, very well done, however you did it!! :)

[@davidcorsaro]

Thank you

[@EricTorreborre]

Just watched this. The lesson is: *everyone* can be misdirected. Even the mighty Penn and Teller. Well-done sir!

Thank you

What an absolutely stunningly simple trick that was only apparent because it was caught on film.

This is as smooth as the fooler with the Oreo cookie, if you guys remember that one.

"This is not a card trick" @ 4:04 is the psychological trick.

[@TinkerTailorSoldier1]

This one is about as easy as the guy who fooled Penn & Teller with a cookie. But simple got the job done, the act had me captivated from the start.

[@sailaab]

Please explain.. which part was the trick I am so sorry.. but was it the end? I have poor eyesight now and not from tbe English speaking world

[@TinkerTailorSoldier1]

@@sailaab They all had a free choice of words that were of different lengths. The combined number of letters of their words somehow ended up exactly on the card with his name.

[@sailaab]

That helped! Thank you @@TinkerTailorSoldier1 🙂 for explaining.

[@ke6gwf]

@@sailaab the trick was that half the deck was cards names on it, but the bottom of the deck had reversed cards on it, so after dealing off the cards, as he's flipping the dealt cards, he also flips the deck upside down onto the table, and the card on the bottom is the one with his name on it. So the entire trick was flipping the deck over, and the rest was to distract Penn and Teller! Lol
