Hallo, Ich hoffe, Sie haben eine weitere Chance, Penn & Teller zu täuschen, aber das nächste Mal werden die Reisebeschränkungen aufgehoben und Sie werden in Las Vegas vor Ort sein.

[@undeadOtter]

Brilliant, just brilliant. Well done!

[@zauberer]

@@undeadOtter Thank you so much. Very happy that you enjoyed it!

[@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307]

They have seen the same trick before, they should know how its done.

[@jasonflay8818]

Dude, the "seriously?!" Is worth more than just getting the trophy. Setting up P&T to think they were absolutely certain they knew how you did it to pull the rug out from under their feet was fantastic. That is quite the accomplishment. Great trick!

[@zauberer]

Thank you very much. I am very happy with the outcome.

[@jamesfair9751]

I heard no way and really but no seriously however now I’m done being an ass and agree 100%

[@GlockSnW]

They let some slip thru the cracks

[@GrandpaCanCook]

Christoph, not only did you fool Penn and Teller, you had them confident that you didn't. Oh, plus you were funny, interesting, entertaining and the trick was great. Thank you.

[@zauberer]

Very happy you liked it. Thank you so much for the feedback.

[@davidt8087]

It's clear that for the first part he made picking mein erster job look and sound like the best option to choose subliminally and it works most of the time and there was no magic just luck

[@zauberer]

@@davidt8087 She had a totally free choice.

[@LoriWolfcat]

I love how Penn just accepts that he was fooled, even tho he doesn’t get the full picture. Penn is so humble and can happily take the fooler result. He was so pleasantly surprised!

[@harshthacker4910]

Yeah ofcourse, he trusts the judges. Also he does gets happy when a magician wins.

[@KaladinVegapunk]

Haha the only part i thought i guessed was how he knew which game she would pick, it was the easiest to pronounce, and most Americans are embarrassed attempting to pronounce foreign words, and always intentionally say it poorly and laugh, it's a weird quirk, even though English is a Germanic language and it's really not that complicated haha

[@duckofdeath3266]

@@KaladinVegapunk Yeah, plus the trick of writing the desired one in an easily readable bold font and the two others in condensed fonts. Since she doesn't know the language she is repeating the only thing she can read at an instance. The astronaut is the usual slight of hand, she did not get to pick a random card. The fish, my guess is the big custom die was the thing he tricked them on, by making them think it was weighted. I am guessing that big helmet contained more than a fish. :)

[@thomasyates3078]

@@KaladinVegapunk English may be a Germanic language, but it's vocabulary is almost entirely Romance, so pronunciations are very different.

[@xmine08]

Hey cool, a German contestant on Fool Us! Glückwunsch zur Trophäe!

[@zauberer]

Vielen Dank für Deine Wünsche!

[@elliotburing87]

That goldfish was like, “I better get a bigger bowl now!”

[@zauberer]

He is living in a pond now, so he got what he wanted!😉

[@taigenraine]

Penn and Teller were on the right track, but since they didn't say it in German it didn't count!

[@zauberer]

Exactly! :-)

[@TorQueMoD]

Well done Christoph! I love that Penn was totally shocked when you fooled them. I think perhaps he was more shocked than you were :P

[@Vinemaple]

I love this guy just for being a mentalist who is this up-front about his act being fake!

[@zauberer]

Thank you. I appreciate your kind words.

[@a24396]

Not only did they think they figured it out, but they were REALLY confident. So when the judges said you had fooled them it was an even better victory! I also loved how happy Penn and Teller seemed to be about being fooled. I could tell they were questioning the trick allover again to see what they might have missed or guessed wrong about. That's probably the best kind of outcome for those two: true joy at learning about a new technique they'd not even considered.

[@a24396]

@film fan Penn and Teller don't know anything about the tricks they see. The first time they see it is on the show. If they think they figured it out they will make a guess about the technique used. If they aren't specific enough to describe the technique used then then they are fooled. An important way to keep everyone honest is that some of the producers are told/shown how the trick is done. Because they know exactly how the trick is done, they are in the best position to know if Penn/Teller actually figured it out when they made their guess. If they *think* they figured it out but the producers tell them they are wrong, then they are wrong. The pretend they hate being fooled but every time it happens, especially when they believed they had figured it out, they are almost always really happy. This is how I understand it, I suppose they could overrule the producers, but they never have so far...

[@lucun_]

Fortunately it was the goldfish that got picked. The only way I could imagine the goldfish getting ditched during the act was... :(

[@SibrenFetter]

The real goldfish was probably never in his mouth to begin with. Or at least only at the very last moment.

[@TommyTauWau]

David Blaine does this with frogs and he swallows them and can regurgitate them. He has a stomach full of water before the act.

[@user-zi8lg5qu1h]

@@TommyTauWau That is called taking it too far

[@ShadowWasntHere8433]

Thank god she didn’t roll for a spider

[@DL-kc8fc]

If the "mug" (number 1) was selected, the Wizard in the helmet would first have to drink water (with a fish) to have an empty mug in his teeth. Some tricks require sacrifice. :) I hope this scenario was never intended! :)

[@MBValentine]

is it true that penn and teller make you tell them how it was done if you fooled them? Fantastic, funny, magical. Everything I could ask and more, what a splendid act!

[@zauberer]

Wow, very happy you liked it. And no, they still have no idea how it was done 🙂

I love Penn and Teller, and I used to love this show. Its just not the same. When everything is over video, and the audience is on zoom. Its hard to put myself in that headspace where people were wowed by a trick. Even Penn and Tellers reactions. Can't wait until the show is back to the way it was.

Being a mentalist act does have slight advantage over P&T as they are not that familiar with those methods. They still know them well, so it certainly was no walk in the park either to fool them. Adorable, humorous trick as well.
