Hey there! Did you enjoy Benjamin Earl's performance? I thought it was stellar, and his personality and style very enjoyable as well. And... did you have any other interpretations for the Aesop's fable? BY THE WAY, I plan to go back and react to each and every episode from the beginning... SO come along for the journey and SMASH subscribe.

[@kingrobert1st]

I didn't enjoy it so much. This kind of card trick is about as entertaing as watching someone solving a rubiks cube.

[@MexieMex]

I remember this causing quite an upset at the time, I know somebody in the audience when it was filmed and Teller insisted that was how it was done and offered to do it himself to demonstrate. Penn spoke about it later on his podcast too, insisting they were right but Johnny (Thompson the adjudicator) gave Ben the win on a technicality.

False shuffle vs false cut?

[@stokesfitness7492]

They said he located and retained the Aces at the beginning and did false shuffles and cuts to make it look like he was actually locating them. This is how I would do it because I am not that experienced. From what I know of Ben Earl is that he actually locates them through shuffles (he gets a quick peak when he flips the cards upward throughout the routine) and moves each one into position each time through shuffles... but they are never all together in one pile.

[@shmatts5269]

Can you tell me what that podcast episode is please?

[@TwistedSoul2002]

I really like how Fool Us has evolved- seems in this first season, Penn won’t let much go, doesn’t speak in code etc. - almost takes it personally (which is fair enough as they have their reputation to protect). In the later seasons, Penn mellows out so much and actually enjoys not fully understanding a trick immediately.

[@Exobably]

Yeah, I wonder if initially they didn't think they were going to get very many people to fool them EVER, and as time went on there have been a lot, so they don't worry so much about it.

[@AL-fo3jj]

I think they just were picky in who would open for them in their show kinda like an interview rubbed the wrong way

[@blacktigershearthstoneadve6905]

People say that Penn actually was right and this win was given to Ben unfairly (not his fault, it was decision of someone behind the scene). There was a much more serious conflict than officially shown. That's why Penn was so agitated, he knew he was right.

[@pauliejay4161]

I simply love that you are blown away by this trick. The theories and explanations are always wonderful, but when we see that you are obviously impressed we already know that we are watching something special.

[@superhunk1989]

2:49. Looked at the 'marked' positions of the aces: 6, 12, 18 and 48. The positions can be divided by six. That's how Benjamin can locate those aces so easily.

[@DavidLindes]

But that's the order he got them in... as shuffled by Penn or Teller or a producer (without hijinx)... I suspect it's coincidence?!? I think when "memorizing the deck" he was actually memorizing those numbers... but didn't know them in advance, or have planned that they were all multiples of 6. So it seems to me, anyway.

[@AlphaMachina]

If you go through frame by frame with the close-up of his card manipulation, he's making the effect with only the top portion of the deck, while holding a break throughout the entire thing. You can see the break even through all of the crazy shuffling and card gymnastics, even when he spins the top 1/4 of the deck, the bottom 3/4 are held still and have a break in them the entire time. @ 4:40, put on .25 speed and pause every few frames. There's always a break in the deck. He's just REALLY good. I mean, insanely fast.

[@Muziejininkas]

But this explains only part of the trick- how he can force the right card on that spot 4 times?

[@24magiccarrot]

I think he fooled them on a technicality. Even afterward Penn mentioned that he felt that P&T was right and that the judge was being pedantic regarding terms. Especially when Benjamins stated that he had to shuffle whilst keeping track of the 4 aces you can't do that without some sort of controlled shuffle it is a little pedantic to not accept false shuffle and controlled shuffle to mean the same thing.

[@jfrusciantetube]

Every trick is based on technicalties. When any magician makes a prediction, you either have a force or a production of the prediction; they know, yet some of them are foolers. They thought he was making false shuffles and producing the aces from locations (how, I have no idea - looks close to impossible) but actually he was tracking them through real shuffles - althought not complete ones, of course. To me, it is a valid fooler. I have the impression that they have never seen similar techniques.

[@24magiccarrot]

@@jfrusciantetube If you are tracking cards and not doing complete shuffles then you are doing false shuffles, false shuffles includes tracking cards and controlling card positions as a true shuffle implies randomness if the person shuffling the cards knows the location of any card then the cards aren't shuffled the majority of false shuffles the magician is only controlling and tracking one card so in this trick there was effectively 4 times as much false shuffling than a regular trick. Penn's statement is intentionally broad so as not to give away specifics of the method

[@Jungbeck]

@@24magiccarrot I don’t agree. Let’s pretend for a second that he did a completely fair riffle shuffle. Then let’s pretend he was rain man on crack and could keep track of every card in the deck, despite doing a complete riffle. That’s not a false shuffle. Eventhough, with your logic, you are trying to convince us it is. But it’s not.

[@24magiccarrot]

@@Jungbeck Any shuffle in which you are able to track any amount of cards is a false shuffle a complete riffle shuffle is a false shuffle from a magicians perspective as a minimum of two cards locations are known and controlled in every riffle shuffle. If you have rainman abilities and able to track every card during every shuffle then it is impossible for you to do anything other than a false shuffle Most beginners to intermediate false shuffles are designed specifically to control only one card so in general most false shuffles 51 of 52 cards are fairly shuffled. Based on your argument there are no beginner false shuffles because you are only able to track one or two cards.

[@paulmayon8821]

And when pulls the single card in his hand you can clearly see the crimp.but again. So fast. So smooth

[@BeeEatingOrchid]

That crimp is from the palming.

[@blackavalon508]

[@reason43poole37]

Your right Jason, awesome, hundreds of hours of dedication.

[@wildcat31772]

the 4 ace locate was legit. the second half, as a card mechanic type, i was able to follow what he was doing.

[@tarbosh917]

Yeah the one handed part prep was as simple as controlling the Aces to the top of the deck. Palm one, the first two picked out were clearly from the top which I noticed in real time. The third was a bit interesting since even slowed down to 25% it looks like he genuinely put it in the middle somehow but perhaps there was some TV editing that missed a part of that move to get it to the top. Locating the aces in a few seconds and setting up all the breaks and quickly controlling them to the top seemed pretty dope though.

[@grazryan]

It breaks Pen’s heart when he say you didn’t fool us but then the Judges backstage intervene and Pen has to declare it himself that they got Fooled

[@notthere83]

Oooh, I had not seen that backstage clip before, that's awesome!

[@RaptureReady2025]

I think this magician has innovated and practiced soooo hard a new technique where he “tracks” the cards and genuinely shuffles the pack such that the cards are “controlled” to the top. Whatever he’s doing, I don’t think it’s been done before? Or maybe the blind guy Richard Turner does something similar. Funky! 👏👏👏

[@tomekstec981]

I think he's just like the blind card mechanic who just controls the deck and where everything is. So he is reorganizing it through shuffling, not taking them out and then pretending to shuffle. He actually did what we think we saw.

[@johncarr8684]

Jason, truly enjoy your show. My eight year old grandson is thrilled by all of it. The fables are good for all of us, particularly young folks. Thanks

[@WelshPaulJames]

Not a clue, beautifully done. John Archer was the "ex policeman with envelopes " the first fooler

[@SeitoCoDM]

He was culling the aces through the shuffles, which makes it even more impressive because he was able to locate their exact positions just by looking at the cards for like 10 seconds

[@dazuk1969]

What a truly great card trick. Sometimes there is no point trying to work it out. Even if he told us how he did it...it would take years to achieve it. This is one where it is just better to enjoy it and not stress about how he did it. This dude is up there with Shawn Farquar in skill level.

[@larncieldarknciel440]

he was looking at the cards as he was shuffling. He memorized the position of the aces, and simply look at the cards as he was shuffling to locate them. It happens so fast most people can't see it. He used psychology on teller by offering left first in a loud voice and right later most people never go with the last choice. How he pulls the aces with the right hand only. Simple, He put the aces on top of the deck and shuffle everything but the aces. He never shuffle those 3 cards. Each card was pulled from the top of the deck. He is cutting but he is putting always the top back at the top and yes he hide the ace in his hand. It was bad because he gave a face as he was doing this. Probably he was anticipating he might get caught by the two magicians. Now, I know how it was done, but I can't replicate this trick the hand speed is insane.

[@curtcoleman]

I feel like Jonathan and the judges are way more strict on the hosts (Pen and Teller) in these earlier episodes than in the newer US episodes with Alyson. It's more like Jonathan is there to keep P&T in line, and Alyson is more of a host just introducing the magicians. Anyway, great video. Happy New Year to you! EDIT - Do you remember when Daniel Madison did a complete deck switch on P&T? He asked them for a deck of cards, and then switched them out with his own deck (he had brought both red and blue Bikes with him). At first I thought this may have been the case here.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

That's really funny as soon as you say I think I seen a break in the deck I was thinking the same thing

[@52ShadesofSpades]

Part 1 : Definitely there was some setup for the first part of the trick, hint when the deck is spread out you can see the 3 aces at 5 cards apart from the beginning and the last ace was at the 5 position from the other end. And the shuffle followed by are in a way to produce those aces( don't know the exact way how it's done). Part 2 : For the second part he put all the 4 aces on top of the deck and then performed the false riffle shuffle in order to show as if he is mixing the deck( In reality all the aces are on top of the pack). Then he palmed the top card ( ace of spade) while asking teller which hand to perform with. Now rest of the trick is pretty simple, he produced the 2nd ace by single hand which look like as if he is cutting the deck but in reality he is just tossing the bottom half of the deck giving an impression as if he is cutting the deck and producing the card. 3rd ace is followed by simply cutting the deck in 3 packet by extending those packets on to the table( top card again is the ace). Last ace is produced in the same way as the 1st ace and the trick is done. Great trick by the way by ben. Kudos to him.

[@BoostedLeonitus]

False shuffling is so cool

[@SDesWriter]

I think I know how he did it. He was taking quick glances of the deck as he shuffled and when the ace got where he needed it he was so good with his card handling he could then move it where it had to be to drop it within 3 or 4 moves. I think it's card mechanics on the level just below Richard Turner. But I'm just guessing based on how many times he turned the deck enough to see a few cards at a time (at least). The magic talk at the end seemed to hint at that, but I actually typed this comment as he was doing the shuffles.

[@kinanatto257]

[@sharpeillusions]

I believe he was glimpsing the deck whilst shuffling to try find the aces.

[@sisgaia]

I really can't say that I know how he did it, but I wonder if this might provide some insight: He started off with the deck face up when he cut to the Ace of Diamonds. In the closing comments, he made a mention of having to locate them. Is it possible that he somehow located them during that initial face up time and controlled things from there? Whether this is right or wrong, it was an incredibly impressive trick. I think that this is the sort of trick that impresses those who know some magic more than those who don't. So often, it's the other way around.

[@BigAlCapwn]

[@billyjeffersoniv4344]

Hell yes! Saturday morning video!!!

[@bilskro]

What is upsetting is the camera angles and cutting out parts that I want to see. The first part is the amazing part. If he did not bring and add his own aces to the deck than I am AMAZED. I cannot imagine how he could look at a deck and could then move those aces into place. Once the aces are in place then he can shuffle or whatever the deck as long as he maintains the aces places, so he really did not need to do false cuts totally at least. And based on the edited footage I could not see him add the aces, but I think he had to.

You can notice he is peaking the cards (small fan of 4-5 cards) each time he cuts the deck. So he is not false-shufflng, but he is putting very clever cuts into positions where more or less an ace was, and then peaking he can adjust the 1-2 extra cards to then produce the ace as top card on the next cut. Really really difficult stuff.

[@ewalltom]

It seems to me that tracking the location through actual shuffles is a very different thing than a false shuffle, which to me would mean something like retaining the Aces at the top of the deck. It doesn't seem possible he could really do the former though. He had to have been manipulating the aces to go where he wanted. Is that a false shuffle? By the way, there are people who can memorize a deck of cards that quickly. You could too if you worked at it for about a year.

[@nursen2106]

it takes more than a one year training. it's not that simple. you also need at least an identical memory, in case, you don't have a photographic memory. in case you have a photographic memory, you can learn or train to shuffle and count. but no way, that anybody can do it. sure, there are more talented people out there, then they know themselves. still, it is not that easy, as you make it sound

Check the location of the Aces in the deck.Also he never answered the question that Penn asked : "You weren't retaining". He answered around it , to dodge it. And from their location he just needs to strip one by one until he reaches every Ace, which is why he starts with the deck face up. So in general there really were no false shuffles, they were actual shuffles just purposefully done bad to not ruin the trick. Still amazing what he did. Those are my thoughts anyway.

There are moments right before he produces each ace where he turns the deck slightly upward toward him and does a flare where he spreads a small packet within the deck.

He Does a wavey thing with the cards pretending he is cutting at 90 mph (he's not) and pulls an ace off the top. Then he puts the deck into 3 piles and pulls an ace off the (still) top. Then he puts the last ace in the middle followed by an immediate cut to that card. Then he palmed the last card which was the ace on top and puts it behind his back. Seriously, why is this getting reactions from people?

[@jimmygriswold9258]

I noticed a few times he tilted the deck up vertically i assumed it was to peek at some part of the cards? And it wouldn't have been hard to memorize 4 or 8 key cards to find the aces... but even then. . . If it werent for it being a barrowed deck i would assume roughing fluid, or some tool of that nature, but it fooled me, but like they said a lot was going on during the trick .

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Hmmm that's a great thought. I guess you're right he could have counted and remembered how far down the aces were. And then with all of his semi-false shuffling and cutting he was removing one card a time from the top or bottom to count until he arrived at the aces. If so, that's pretty clever.

@@JasonParkerMagic Yes he was peeking throughout, but the important part was that he switched the deck with a TAPERED DECK that he had prepared ahead of time.

I guess this can be done in a couple of ways, not the way he did it, but I know people are able to manipulate cards with shuffles and move them exactly how they want them to and be able to control where different cards end up and with a good enough memory or using certain techniques he can place them wherever he wants to just like solving a rubiks cube blind, you need to remember exactly how each piece is orientated and how each move changes the orientation of each piece so either that or maybe if he has idetic or photographic memory. the second way of using slight of hand is probably how he did it

Teller really wasn't convinced, rarely seen him annoyed.

[@morfy2581]

he never wanted to speak more.

The crazy thing is that he actually produced the aces from the centre of the deck and was finding them one by one. So this was actually not a trick cuz he was actually doing what he said I am only talking about the first part. If u don't believe me then u can buy his dvd (which i think is called 'red herring') and he explains how he does it.

[@mkgeiger278]

I think you need to think how he palmed the last card so fast and clean that when he spread the deck out he saw where the Aces were then he palmed them all out of the deck as he was shuffling the first time. Then he would throw the aces out after doing the shuffles which were all full and not false shuffles. That is my laymans take on it.

[@joerunningman9705]

To me it looks like a fast game of.... peekaboo, if you watch closely he looks at the cards every few shuffles in the first part.

they legitimately hated when morgan and west fooled them. i think it was because it was very early in the shows beginning. so all the "rules" hadn't been established. they cut the celebrity silhouettes faces out of scraps of paper. there's a point where one of them walked behind someone or something that looked like a point where they would have made a "move" to finish the trick. Penn said that at that point i mentioned was when they did the deed. it wasn't. morgan and west did that intentionally because it hadn't been done b4 on the show. they used misdirection on P&T to hope that exact move would have them guess the wrong method. and it did, and penn was pissed. very easy to see. Benjamin i think just flustered penn a little and thats why they edited in penn half assedly admitted he was wrong. another great vid from Mr. Parker..
