Fool Us JAVI RUFO season 10 - espisode 17 Tribute to Rene Lavand. Slow Spheres.

[@jasonjackson5696]

You could see in Teller’s eyes that he was deeply moved

[@ajl9772]

Respect to all the magicians who don't spoil that they were a Fooler in the title of their videos.

[@sage23ish]

The fact that he didn't spoil it made me genuinely think that he didn't fool them, so after the trick, I was thinking, "How the hell did they figure that one out?"

[@ELVIS1975T]

If it’s a guy from Spain, it’s a spoiler 😂

[@MrCorvou]

was gonna say this. as the other dude also said, at the end I was just thinking "how the hell did this not fool them?"

[@leebrokus5069]

Whenever I see the spoiler, I make sure to click on it, pause it before it can register a view, thumbs down & block the channel completely without watching.

[@gi4dtv230]

I scroll the video to find out first,but I prefer the fooler videos.

[@GeorgeValkov]

Checkmate Teller! It's very rare that we see him astonished. Such a beautiful story. ¡Bravo Javi!

[@ShawnFarquhar]

So beautiful, so magical. A wonderful Fooler. Congratulations.

[@bretth4988]

You should delete yr comment so you don't give it away since it's not in the title... Give everyone a surprise.

[@shLSS]

@@bretth4988Do you read the comments before watching the video? I hope that‘s not a thing…

[@VanFarnel1]

@@bretth4988 comments are usually meant to allow us to share our opinion about the video and having discussions about it and with that in mind the comments are usually targeted at the people who've actually watched the video. It's quite unreasonable to expect and even more unreasonable to demand spoiler free comments

[@Savatage1964]

Holy shiz.... even the great Shawn Farquhar commented. Damn... that's gotta be impressive.!!

[@DonoVideoProductions]

I have seen countless multiplying ball routines in my life. It was one of the first tricks I ever learned as a child, and I continued to do versions of the trick throughout my magical career. If anyone had ever told me I would watch an essentially "stripped down" multiplying ball routine, and not only enjoy it, but actually be moved to tears, I would have suggested they get mental help. But then, there is Javi Rufo. I knew by the second production that he would not only fool Penn and Teller, but that he would move them as well. The fooling, the technique, is important, yes. It is startling, it is confounding, it is marvelous, and it remains a mystery to me. But it is secondary to the wonder and emotion, the art that Javi creates, as he literally weaves a spell for us. And we are held, spellbound, on his every word, disbelieving...but wanting so much to believe that we are children again...and magic is real. Thank you for giving us a moment of pure wonder. It is a rare and precious thing.

[@realist7934]

Beautifully spoken.

[@bar10ml44]

I never want to know how it’s done. I want o believe in magic.

[@shaidyn8278]

It's so rare that Penn doesn't have a joke or a ramble or a rant. He was so taken aback by the beauty of the performance. You could see it, too, that they were both like, "Wait how is he doing this?"

[@KokoKIR]

The magic of Spain is definitely on another level. It is no coincidence that this performance has been rewarded at FISM 2021

[@AngelicusImmortus]

It does seem that Spain has become a central focus for magic in the past ten or twenty years. I mean, there have been some fantastic Spanish magicians around for a long time, but now there seems to be dozens and dozens. Amazing

[@martinlagman]

I'll always remember how watching the magic of the great Juan Tamariz made me feel. Made me love the world of magic as a child.

[@dailybusiness8162]

The power of slow! Teller was moved and probably 😅 even Penn was! Beautiful 🎉

[@joshcryer]

Tellers reactions were so wonderful too, he loved it.

[@kenherrera2819]

When I saw Teller's face, I knew he had fooled them...and that was early in the act! I also don't remember ever seeing a standing ovation like that before! That was phenomenal in every way!

[@Mr.B_82]

One of the best acts I've ever seen on this show, and many others, bravo 🎉

[@Cruxvae]

I've done some sleight of hand stuff, and so I'm familiar with some of the principles of how it works. Which is why I was so in awe of this routine, because everything I know says that's impossible. Simply brilliant.

[@Allen-L-Canada]

I think it involves invisible threads, which pulling balls out of somewhere.

[@Nebzz]

@@Allen-L-Canada Haha what? It's simply white rubber shells within shells, then solid rubber ball which he bounces, repeat process using red ball that has both white and red inside. Think russian nesting dolls. The problem I had was how small the white balls got so quickly into the act. He was very good at turning the balls when he moved his hand in order to conceal the seams though.

[@Allen-L-Canada]

@@Nebzz wow, thanks. I thought about that too, just didn’t know how the shells can bounce. He never bounced the red ball, so we know it’s a shell. But each white ball he was able to bounce. I don’t know how can he produce 2 solid balls from the red shell.

[@metzonderhanden]

You are right, you can actually see it when playing 3:01 at .25% speed, the white 'ball' he throws in the hat bounces back up but it spins during the bounce and you can see its not fully round.

[@Allen-L-Canada]

@@metzonderhanden it’s must be a half shell.

[@SteveRyherd]

That was the best magic I’ve ever, ever seen.

[@JaimeLopez-pd6pi]

Hermoso! No se puede hacer más lento.

[@Endodontist-1]

I've watched almost every act on "Fool Us." This is the best one I've ever seen-so magical and poetic.

[@afeudale]

I don't think i ever saw a standing ovation on fool us! Wow! Congrats! 👏👏

[@javibenitezmagic]

Enhorabuena Javi, un acto hermoso y lleno de poética. Has conseguido llegar a una obra redonda en su sentido más artístico de la palabra que, como decía René, es simple, no una simpleza. Muy merecido querido compañero. De aquí al infinito, y mucho más! Un abrazo grande Javi. 🌹

[@Cafeteologia17]

los Javis!!!!

[@jordanfan8222]

Sentimental, simple, and impossible. Usually Teller is the more emotional of the two, but you can see Penn was deeply moved as well. Congratulations!

[@Dayta]

i dont care how this was done ..... this was magic ! so beautiful one of the best performances ive seen in years

[@Dayta]

and i keep coming back and watch this over and over and over again and it is as beautiful each and every time like the first time

[@mjrauhal]

Wow. I mean, one might have a fairly solid idea at first but they just keep coming, into clean hands, bouncing around. That was beautiful indeed.

[@net_lag]

I'm sooo glad I didn't scroll down to the comments until the very end Perfect title👌

[@AmfistomosAtlas]

He tuned them inside out with his magic aura. Nicely done!

[@johnmccombe6342]

Absolutely incredible. Every single aspect of the act was truly beautiful. Well done!!! Thank you for sharing your magic with the world!!

[@SimonQX]

The most beautiful routine I have ever seen, and I've been doing magic for 54 years

[@valenzupc]

Precioso, elegante, mágico, una gran actuación y un gran homenaje al gran Rene Lavand

[@craigstaley352]

I have no idea how he did this. This is a standard trick in amateur magic shows that uses shells, but he keeps producing the balls in a way that would be impossible with that technique. It's an amazing version of an old trick, and it's very impressive. I love seeing new versions of older tricks, and I'm glad that he won.

[@PhilBagels]

Exactly what I was thinking. As soon as I could determine where and when he produced the shells, he then would make a move that proved that they weren't shells!

[@technodaz]

I don't normally scream at the tv but dam those last two just made me scream "dam it" , like I've see this many times but never as smooth as that and still no idea how you did it while showing your complete hand more than once ....that was pure magic.

[@thureintun1687]

Omg this is like nothing else Very deserve fool us trophy🏆 I mean look at both Penn and Teller, i bet they were about to cry then and there 😁 It really is such a piece of art, just like most great magic acts, but much more beautiful than all I've seen

[@ClubRemy]

That is pretty much as good as magic gets. Bravo.

[@brygenon]

Great performance, and beautiful homage to René though the act was very much your own. I only saw René on TV, and I remember his can't-be-done-slower or maybe-it can. I keep forgetting he only had one arm because in his act that didn't come up. And I totally agree with Penn and Teller: the third move was when I realized that no, this is not what's in the magic shops. Great performance and great trick.

[@mahadevovnl]

I've thought I saw the trick several times, reversed, played it slowly... and nope. Nope. I did not see anything. Magical presentation.

[@gatorwrestler303]

That was brilliant

[@szolanek]

Best Magic Act Ever. And superbly executed. Felicitas! Every time a Spaniard enters the show, steals it.😊 Teller's face told it all. He felt a little boy again, and he appreciated it.

[@justcameforthecomments]

And Pen had watery eyes, right?

[@szolanek]

@@justcameforthecomments I don't think he can be impressed. Maybe if the host's boobs would show an escape act.😅 They got bigger, or the dress gets smaller? Magic.

[@chrispariso1040]

Watching René Lavand perform the Oil and Water routine when I was a child is what originally sparked my love for magic. This was an absolutely beautiful tribute to him - congratulations, and thank you for sharing it!

[@sykline1821]

This act is so beautiful I am speachless. Truly moving!

[@RealRickCox]

Wow. That was such an elegant presentation. Any time I thought I knew how you did it, I was proved wrong by the next move. But I'm not feeling bad because even Penn and Teller couldn't figure out how you did that. Great job.

[@randyporter3491]

I performed a billiard ball routine to music for many years. It's a well known routine, but beautiful when performed well. However, this was stunning ! I don't care about the "how", I just loved the "how well". Absolutely beautiful routine Javi.

[@Mindblazter80]

Please.. tell me how he did this!! Im going nuts!

[@conorbaird9409]

The perfect magic trick for this show. Incredible.

[@gavinwigg8057]

I watched this one a couple times while rewinding. I don't see the subsequent "reloadings" anywhere. Wow.

[@BrokeTheSeal]

@@gavinwigg8057yeah I don’t get it. Unless when he shakes the red ball it launches a tiny white ball out of it quickly and inflates immediately. That’s all I got

[@mrdibujante]

Felicitaciones!! Tuve la oportunidad de ver a René Lavand en Tandil y quiero destacar que lograste encontrar la emoción de su esencia en este acto. Seguro él también lo habría disfrutado. Un abrazo grande desde Argentina!!

[@stephenbarrette610]

There are times when you can’t believe what you were seeing. As a lover of magic tricks for over 50 odd years, this is one of those magical moments. What a fantastic trick. And what a brilliant show, and one of the best moments is when you see Teller’s face and see his appreciation and admiration of the skill he is watching and he has no idea of the technique! And he knows most of that stuff. An absolute joy to watch this gentleman perform his incredible routine.

[@clydemarnold]

This was so magical and moving...I wouldn't WANT to know how it was done!

[@beWorldly]

THAT was the most spectacular act i've ever seen. And I have never seen those kinds of expressions of pure awe on Penn and Teller's faces. What a magnficent performance!

[@ltcolumbo9708]

This is the kind of MAGIC where talking your act is tolerated. SUPERB PERFORMANCE!! 90% of the magicians on this show talk talk talk their heads off to commercials

[@castejb]

Esto cambió lo que yo pensaba de la magia. INCREIBLE! Que tengas y continues teniendo una carrera GIGANTE!!!!!

[@MaziAkinola]

I can watch this over and over again. It’s the most beautiful performance I’ve ever seen on this show

Beautiful routine Javi. Reminds me of the classical stage routines from bygone eras designed to just create a sense of awe and wonder.

[@justcameforthecomments]

Absolutely beautiful, it is the perfect act. The music, the pace in his speech, the words - and of course the trick; it all is just so on point. And I love how much Brook enjoys being part of the show - always

[@sgtoz]

Damn. That was one amazing act. It damn near made me cry.

[@nemolives3252]

La belleza de lo simple. Este es el acto de magia más increíble que he visto, por lo poético de tus palabras, por el hermoso homenaje a René Lavand, porque además reviviste por un momento la esencia del mismo, por la maestría en tu ejecución y el desafío de hacerlo con una mano, y por los sentimientos que despertás al realizarlo. El arte se trata de transmitir emociones, y has logrado que la magia y el arte vayan de la mano, como esas dos esferas inseparables. Gracias por tu poesía, tu arte, y tu magia, Javi. Ojalá pueda alguna vez ver tu acto en vivo. Te aplaudiré de pie como este auditorio. Estoy muy emocionado.

[@jesusrnieves]

My God, those crazy moves, I can see the muscles of your hand, you can fool anyone, that was amazing

[@IncompleteTheory]

Breathtaking, what a great performance. Plus, Penn will not say lightly that he is speechless, so that's a major accomplishment by itself. Gracias!

[@AgentPohls024]

Eres un maestro Javi, conozco poco de tu trayectoria, pero esto ha sido una de las cosas más bonitas e impresionantes que haya visto en un escenario, tan bonito y poético que lo hiciste, simplemente fabuloso. Muy bien merecido, muchas felicidades. ❤❤❤
