Josh Farley x DJ Panduh Penn & Teller: Fool Us

Penn & Teller: Fool Us Season 6 Episode 7 "Are You Better Magicians Than A 6th Grader"
#JoshFarley #DJPanduh #PennandTeller #FoolUs
--
Magician Josh Farley and his stuffed Panduh use their first national television appearance to inspire people to realize that it's okay to feel different or alone- that it's our very differences that make us strong.
--
"After the act, Penn & Teller both walked backstage, shook my hand, and as Teller was speaking to me, Penn overstepping Teller, even offstage, exclaimed, "YOU MADE TELLER GASP!!"... the biggest compliment a magician could hear. I was at a complete loss for words. Thank you to everyone involved. I still feel like I'm dreaming."

[@goldeneddie]

Wow, I've never seen a magician bring such sincerity and openness to this game of deception! Unique, a truly unique combination.

[@garyp4374]

I understand you are trying to complement the ACT but the word deception to me is nasty no one is trying to deceive you they are just trying to create an illusion to trick your eye and your brain into seeing something you're not

[@goldeneddie]

@@garyp4374 ​ @Gary P Ah Gary, I understand your concern about the word 'deception', but it's generally accepted by magicians to describe magic. I perform magic too, and many magic props (and some packs of cards in particular) carry the Latin phrase “Mundus vult decipi: the world wants to be deceived'. There's even a well-respected book about magic called 'The Art of Deception'. If you study magic, or spend time around working magicians, we use the word 'deceive' like we use the word 'trick', and everyone is comfortable with the expression 'magic trick' - even though 'to trick' actually means to deceive! But I do understand your concern, which is why I softened the expression by adding the word 'game' to reflect the intention as fun, and not 'nasty'. After all, even though the method involves a degree of 'trickery' or deception, it's the intention that counts - and that is only to create wonder and fun. I hope that explanation is helpful mate, and I'm glad that you're interested in magic!

@@goldeneddieI've been performing magic professional magic for 30 years in two different centuries lol I've never heard that term used and I don't know where you get that from

[@garyp4374]

@@goldeneddie I'm sorry you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about now the word trick and deception was always avoided that's what the professional magicians taught me and yes there is a book called The Art of deception but that's about the only reference I know of . who you're hanging around I don't know and what magicians are you're getting this from they're not professionals . I do real magic not mess around with decks of Cards I doubt very much whether you've been anywhere near working Professionals just by what you're saying it's great to have an interest in magic but really don't try and tell seasoned Professionals like myself about terminology and how it works . have you been on national TV 10 times have you performed in front of a live audience of a 1000 people have you ever vanished off stage and turned up at the back of 1000 people ? where you the vice president of the third oldest magic club . I'm not being rude but you know F.all about Magic by what you're saying keep practising your card tricks but please don't go on with this crap about I know everything when you've obviously never spent any time with professional magicians I can tell by the way speaking . when you've got 30 years experience and done everything I've done working and performing at the hardest market on earth you could start telling me how it is until then keep working on your Svengali deck

[@garyp4374]

@@goldeneddie I'm sorry goldendaddy but I'm finding this totally hilarious. good for having a bit of fire In the belly but your completely wrong on every single thing you said . have you ever been to a magic convention and one first prize for the stage comp can you give me any names of people that you say you've associated with have you ever been to a broken wand funeral ceremony ? have you ever done something that Houdini couldn't ? Houdini came to Australia to perform escapes but had to cancel the tour because the Australians were not interested and yet I have been performing escapology for 30 years in Australia one of the hardest market's on Earth and have made shitloads of money out of doing so. I even had an opportunity to audition for this show meeting the producers of fool us . I know I seem like I'm being very rough on you but I'm simply trying to explain to you that doing the I know everything thing in front Professionals will end up with you being very embarrassed which I hope you can avoid

[@Joshua.Jordan.Comedy]

This dude is incredible!!! I’ve seen him first hand close up and he blows my mind which is a hard thing to do to another magician. SO proud of you Josh! 🦉

[@JoshFarleyMagic]

Thank you Josh!! You're awesome bro

[@mercedeswilkins9085]

What a blessing and both of y’all name is josh

[@SpyroTheEternalNight]

being a victim of a lot of bullying when i was a kid, i feel like... represented here! your message really is inspiring and it's one the world needs to hear more. thank you for being honest about this. and i have no idea at all how you did the trick.

[@meandmyworld8401]

No-one should be the victim of bullying in the 21st century. There are very effective prevention and intervention programs available that minimise or even completely eradicate bullying from schools or any other setting. No-one is born a bully. Unfortunately that scientific knowledge still hasn't found its way into all corners of society. The problem is, once a bully has developed and gets away with it, it becomes a slippery slope towards amplified disrespect for others and the law, i.e. criminality. The sooner this route is cut off, the better, both for the individual, for the victims, and for society as a whole. It is great to see how someone frees themselves from the isolation that comes with bullying. This is a very nice trick and I would not be suitable as an assistant here because my skeleton is as stiff as the Eiffel Tower.

[@ZackhAttackh]

Amazing to see someone rise above the struggles they had as a kid. Good job

[@JoshFarleyMagic]

Thanks Zackh!!

[@TimsFoyleHeadgear]

The trick may not be very new or spectacular, but Josh's personality somehow got to me. It was a pleasure to watch his way of being and doing.

[@Dabeyoun]

Amazing trick, nice repacking of a classic! Love it!

[@alexdavis9324]

This is so much more fun to watch than a traditional sword box. We all know a trick being done over and over on stage has to be safe. Your version makes me focus on the fact I have no idea how you did it. Great job

[@JoshFarleyMagic]

Thank you Alex!

[@daddycheese689]

Great work, and Ur dad's a good builder :)

[@shinonomehakase2298]

I clicked on this video because my name is Josh too and I’m into magic. Not only did it turn out you’re just like me in terms of personality and backstory, but you also said EXACTLY something I would have said at the end: “You didn’t fool me” 🤣

[@daddycheese689]

Hahaha nice Josh.. yeah I thought it was so funny :) I hope Penn and teller get him back on and try and fool him ahaha

[@JoshFarleyMagic]

Love that! Good to unofficially meet you Josh

[@ManishSingh2k]

It doesn't matter whether he fooled them or not. it was a great show and one can easily tell that the audience loved it. He received a huge amount of applause. I believe that's the real trophy.

[@JoshFarleyMagic]

Hey Manish! Thank you for the kind words. I’m proud of the work we put into it. It was a true team effort getting this put together and happy with how the story was told. I appreciate it!

[@tk20channel]

Absolutely awesome!!!!! I was so into this trick and the storytelling and nervous comedy. Great job!

[@MitchellTF]

What makes it incredible is that nice little prover done by fiddling the box...and the sheer HEART in it. Because, I was thinking a fake black screen... And just a twist showed "NOPE!" Couple of times where I saw WHEN you had to have made a move...but not the HOW... Just...INCREDIBLE.

Beautifully built, beautifully written, and beautifully performed. 🎯

[@musicalboxbitspieces]

I was 1000% fooled while watching the performance for the first time. Very well done. When her hand popped up from the top with the front panel removed, I said "Dang! That's cool! How are they doing it?". But of course, this is KZbin. We can watch and re-watch as many times as we want. So with observation and deductions I eliminated the impossible and whatever was remaining must be the truth. By the way, a little mistake (or overlooked detail) helped me solve one part of the puzzle. An article of clothing to be more precise. To figure out the main part of the trick (where's the assistant), geometry led to the answer.

[@JoshFarleyMagic]

Thank you for the compliment! I love that you used the Sherlock Holmes line. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and rewatch.

[@loneranger718]

I noticed the article of clothing too . but i cant figure out how the woman was playing DJ in the end , unless this is an effect of Einstein's Theory of relativity (the twin paradox)

[@harshdevsharma6397]

Ive been following magic for 25 years. I like to figure out how things are done and while I have a slight idea how this was done, I can honestly say I was totally fooled. Loved the way this was crosswords instead of swords. Awesome performance. Great job man!

[@Mike-we3rb]

The masked magician allowed me to know exactly 100% of how he did everything

[@garyp4374]

as a professional magician I can't help myself I'm going to tell you the story about that guy. we knew his name from the start Val Valentino he was performing in Vegas but was so bad the audience's were booing him so the TV station said well how about you reveal all the tricks and will give you lots of money so he gave away a whole heap of tricks but the magicians haven't done those for 200 and no had no idea about stagecraft and even suggested that woman's tits would distract the audience. anything he told you was either bulshit or so outdated it doesn't matter the guy is a loser and he is now in a one bedroom flat drinking himself to death everyday because he can't be on stage

[@gonzalocornejo9267]

kinda weird when he said that this act of his is really unique, never done before, i mean, i think even Penn and Teller did it on a talkshow a few years earlier, but still, is a really good act

[@JoshFarleyMagic]

This particular illusion was published by a well known designer/builder. While many similar illusions have been performed this particular one has not.

[@DocRunaway]

5:46 - Ok, what's with Peter Jackson's weird way of applauding?

[@angelinavasquez532]

Is this the same person from the virtual night today? Well if not, I still found another great channel🤷🏾‍♀️ Edit: The newspaper and panda confirms it

[@urnfnidiot]

5:38 to 5:43 must be edited. How else can you explain the studio audience NOT seeing a panda head and then seeing her at the "turntables ".

[@Acaykath]

She probably ducked behind the table to do a quick change out of the panda suit.

[@wilsonsmanz]

I didn't think he would fool them. The trick is unique in its setup but the "magic" is not unique. So even though I dont know how its done I didn't think it would fool them.

[@RohitSharma-nd8gk]

scene cut.. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@andyp926]

We are all used to the "deliberately poor" editing done by the FU producers to distract or obfuscate by cutting between cameras when important moves are made, but this takes the biscuit! What on Earth were they thinking of to cut away and completely miss the appearance (or switch) of Brooke to the DJ decks on stage right?

[@JoshFarleyMagic]

I know! I was pretty disappointed by the edit :/ spent hundreds of hours, hired magic consultants, whole lot of money to make the switch very clean. Penn told me that, "it made Teller gasp and that's not an easy feat." Unfortunately it is what it is.

8:15 Aw. Penn and Teller didn't fool this guy

[@Abusiveyes]

Brooke can get it

[@crispy-k]

5:40 why the weird cut between what happened. If you watch the video frame by frame, the panda is starting to move to the left just before it cuts. Is this just fake and staged?

[@JoshFarleyMagic]

It's not fake or staged... shot in a single take with a live audience. That said, I completely agree with you. I was very disappointed by the edit :/ We spent hundreds of hours, hired magic consultants, etc. to make the switch very clean. Penn told me that, "it made Teller gasp and that's not an easy feat."
