[@davidwalter2002]

A really nice, fun twist on the mind-reading/card-finding act. I'm not a magician, but it seems to me that the same thing is true for magic tricks as is true for storytelling and movies: There are a limited number of stories/themes/tricks, but what makes the great ones work is how the storyteller/filmmaker/magician varies it to make it interesting. Lindsey, you made this trick personal, fun, engaging, and a joy to watch. All the best to you.

[@RealRickCox]

@@LindseyNoelMagic You really do need people to watch the performance from an audience perspective and make sure the magic translates. I went back and watched a few times to see if I could match the comments Penn made to your performance. The one thing that stood out is that neither Teller or Allyson confirmed the word on the paper. If I had to make a guess at how the trick worked, the photos were somehow marked, so the word written down didn't really matter. :)

Why do we need to be told repeatedly she is bisexual? Can't remember the last time someone told us they were hertosexual as a part of their act.

[@Stormie33]

Seriously. The notion that she didn't feel validated when watching other magicians is a strange one. How could she have known what their sexual orientations were one way or the other? I'm certainly not aware of who any magician is sleeping with, well, other than Lindsey now, nor do I care.

[@travisf2660]

Love seeing more women in magic! You're beautiful! Love your outfit! Great performance 👏

[@VancouverMagic]

I've been telling my magician friends for awhile, that this is the way you have a better chance of fooling Penn & Teller. By "pretending" to be using a different method (and in your case, 2 different methods), you have a better chance of fooling them.

[@chrisb7035]

The thing is, as a magician you haven't really fooled them. They only get one try, but they still know. It's more satisfying if the actually have no idea. That's what I would go for. Not just the trophy 😉

[@MikerBikerB]

She did seem to quickly unfold the piece of paper so that may have been exactly what you say .

Nice routine. Funny, energetic, quite original. But what does her sexuality have anything to do with magic? Why peaople is trying to arrange mythical “inclusivity” in places and events it doesn’t matter, I don’t get it. Like a vegan at Metallica concert informing everyone around in his dietary preferences.

Totally agree, it simply wasn't related in any way to the performance. If someone can perform well and entertain people, nobody cares about who they sleep with.

two years for a force of a cat? What am I missing? I'm missing that it wasn't a force..... but it felt like one, and that's a bit sad for the trick. Having Alison pick a card completely at random.... I dunno. Don't mean to be mean spirited or anything...... it's just the drop cards until I say stop feels like a force. Maybe it was to try to get P&T to take that bait..... but the trick suffers for it.

[@kitty_in_sl]

You have a lot of courage to get on that stage and do that. Congrats. I don't understand why people keep injecting their sexual preferences and gender things into everything, though. I get that magic has been dominated by men - and it's great to see that is changing as magic (as well as everything else) doesn't need to be for one gender only. But the fact that you are bi-sexual and think you need to be "represented" on the magic scene for it is just total hogwash. There is no excuse to start making magic about being bi-sexual. Just like there was no excuse to ever make it only a men's club. Put this simply: I could care less what your sexual preferences are - I care only about your magic skills and stage presentation. Being a girl or bi-sexual means nothing. So why even go there?

[@AdamPreuter]

In an ideal society, where things had always been equal - you'd be correct, because it would be a non-issue from the start. But given the long history of non-acceptance, and even outright oppression, it makes sense for the marginalized to bring attention to their successes. It's only by highlighting their representation in society that we normalize their existence and move toward making the whole thing a non-issue. Like it should have been all along.

@@AdamPreuter I'm a straight black male

[@jones1618]

@@AdamPreuter Superbly well said! I do find there's a tendency among 15 to 25-year olds to jump to declaring themselves some color of rainbow sexuality (especially bi-) to be "edgy." Maybe that's a sign of expanded social- and self-acceptance (good things). Or, maybe for some it is just faddism or, worse, conscious sexual appropriation. Still, without knowing the contents of a person's inner self, I think we have to tolerate some performative posers along with the brave self-advocates.
