Eric Samuels on Penn & Teller: Fool Us

[@liudve612]

I loved the "Have a nice day!" at the end 7:46 :D

[@RageDaug]

Teller's face at 2:55. I love watching how much he loves watching these acts. Even though he's got most of them figured out, he still acts like a little kid seeing them for the first time. Absolutely love it.

[@varuntulsyan2558]

See this is a simple trick but far more entertaining and engaging than a lot of the foolers. What else does one want as an audience. Amazing

[@sailaab]

agree

[@erikamarie2787]

Wonderful routine! Half of the magic is in the storytelling. And you did it so well!

[@TheVlad1616]

He took a boring premise and made it entertaining from start to finish. That’s what you want from an entertainer.

matches my disdain for P and T

[@DL-kc8fc]

I may not have heard well, but I suspect he said medallions, not mentalists. The medallion has many variations, which is why Penn doesn't like it, as sometimes the "medallion" practice is not well identifiable. I don't want to stand up for Penn, who sometimes also "charms" in decision-making, especially when one of his old friends shows up on stage with a lousy performance. :)

[@a24396]

I loved this trick too... And I loved the way you wrote it... Very entertaining, thanks so much for sharing it!!!

[@RiviinAxlai]

Great comment! Almost too simple, but maybe he was hoping Penn & Teller wouldn't call his bluff.

[@DL-kc8fc]

@@RiviinAxlai You're right, he hoped. For Penn, he had a choice of one green card - a lure that all green cards contain the letter "T", but Penn didn't jump at it. Old trick, but still good if it's a great presentation, as in this case.

[@suchomimus9921]

this was so funny! Had me laughing throughout. One of my fav acts on the show

[@moviemaker2011z]

I agree with penn here, the routine is simple but fabulous, its a boring skit made fun, one that actively engages you and gets a genuine laugh out. While not the biggest or most grand act it was definitely one worth seeing. Great job there bud you did fantastic!

[@oldschoolwarrior]

Penn was right: the patter was excellent, it was very entertaining, there were genuine laughs...it was a great trick. Most magicians seem to only post when they fooled them. I like that you posted it anyway even though they figured it out.

[@NoahNathanson]

Agreeing with this comment. I enjoyed the act and thought he was super likeable. Made me want to see a full act or just meet him at a coffee shop or something. Very glad to have seen this!

[@RickDarko]

You aré correct. Thats great trick and a amazing mágician. O aint got a clue of how is done. Its all that matters.

[@applejacks971]

If this trick fails to entertain the audience, it can, at any given moment, be switched to 'Jeopardy Excuses'... "I'll take 'Your call is important to us" for $600, Eric" Great trick, I don't have a clue how it was done, very cool! Love it!

[@Rishikesh_Mohite]

He said "Have a nice day" as he went by.

[@Phoenix-bi9bn]

I think I got it. Double lift at the end. But it is clever. I must give it to P&T, I didn't think it was done that way, my way was far tougher and yours makes more sense

[@billrundell2097]

A double lift on the top row to lift each of the letters of the word truth.

[@larryphotography]

His stage personality was certainly magnetic

[@rafakordaczek3275]

Damn, I predicted 4 out of 5 guesses. That was fun by itself.

[@blairbartrem1607]

[@michaelrichter9427]

I spotted the trick while it was being played out at the end, but man, the delivery was so good I didn't care. You have a great act going on there, and an interesting understated stage presence that sells it.

[@EatMyDick]

@@williampetersen9915 but when did he double lifted the cards? I just don't get it.

[@williampetersen9915]

@@EatMyDick It's been a while since i saw the video, so I went back to watch it and it was now blocked; however, I found that it had been reposted and that although a double lift usually refers to tricks involving a deck of cards, in this instance, it is when he is revealing the 5 cards along the top row. As he's turning the cards over one by one to reveal the word TRUTH, each time he turns over a card of a selected lie, he's also turning over the panel now under (or specifically, behind) it. Which means that he's actually taking two panels (a double lift,) and turning them over.

[@EatMyDick]

@@williampetersen9915 ooooooh thank you William for going way out of your way to explain this to me. It was bugging me. Have a nice day from me!

The I fooled Penn and teller lie seemed to hit Penn hard

[@peletpower9650]

right i saw that to

[@electrichellion5946]

I missed where he said there were only twenty lies whereas there were twenty five lies. Where did he say it. I watched twice and missed both times?

[@PassionPopsicle]

It's the code. Not sure he actually said it, but there were 4x5=20 lies on the board. I'm guessing Penn is suggesting that there were five more (unseen) cards that he used to make the trick work :)

[@retroanim]

On the top line where are positionned the 5 selected lies, there's likely just a tiny layer of "wood" (recto) attached on top of a metalic layer attached on top of the 5 letters for truth (verso) on top of actual wood. So if the lies are magnetised, when put on the top line they get attached to these recto/verso cards. When they are returned, what you see is the verso of the cards whose recto is "wood".

[@Nagantios]

I love this routine even if they didn't get fooled.

[@martysmith7038]

Wait. Seriously, WTF? I just watched the chromyl chloride video from Nile Red, and now I'm watching the Eric Samuels "Penn & Teller: Fool Us!" routine. I have previously seen comments from two different videos mixed together in the comments below whatever video I was watching; I thought it was a bug. But how could you POSSIBLY be commenting, IN ONE COMMENT, on the two TOTALLY SEPARATE videos I just watched? That only ran together because I, PERSONALLY-it's not a KZbin playlist; it's just two different things I happen to like-like to watch Nile Red's chemistry videos, and also like to watch videos from the admittedly-kind-of-stupid-but-still-entertaining Penn & Teller show. Seriously, what sorcery is this?

its 20 tiles with lyes... 5 rows of 4. than they have a row of 5 on top that are flipped backwards. once he places the lye selected by the audience they stick together. So there are 25 tiles all together on the board

I feel like I picked up on his technique just for the last one because I assumed he was influencing all of them, and I actually correctly guessed which one she'd pick. I probably just got lucky...

[@Chazthefurr]

Dunno why Penn & Teller dislike mentalists, just because mentalism is not what they do. Just like escapologists don't really escape from impossible handcuffs..... I suppose "illusionists" are acknowledging that they use an illusion to fool you, so their job title is correct. Actually I only dislike those people who communicate (for money) with relatives who have passed. That is quite a cruel deception. And this guy was so likeable & entertaining..... and not all (say) card magicians are entertaining, though they might be technically brilliant.

Mentalism tricks are always boring as hell, to me. But this trick is probably one of my favorites. I loved everything about it.

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

Good guess but it's far simpler. This isn't using any mentalism techniques. The final cards are already in the top 5 slots, just flipped. He does a double lift at the end. That's why Penn talks about there being 25 cards on the board, not forces.

@@MatheusHenrique-gt2iv the choice is forced by the way he talks. All the choices he didn't want them to pick you can see he just read them without pauses and the same tone of voice. In the choices he want them to pick he makes a pause somewhere in the middle of the sentence making it funnier in a subliminal way. That's why penn says there were 25 lies in there, because he forced all the choices. The act is done smoothly though
