Magician REACTS to Horret Wu color changing cards on Penn and Teller FOOL US 2019

[@JasonParkerMagic]

➠ PATREON: www.patreon.com/JasonParker ➠ INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/JasonParkerMagic ➠ TWITTER: twitter.com/JasonParkerNow That was a pretty cool performance by Horret Wu! Have any of you seen him perform before? I liked the visuals in his act and the concept... while not too fooling feeling from a magician's perspective... I still feel his act had a nice magician feeling to it, and he seemed like a nice / cool guy as well! What were your thoughts?? Comment below! :)

[@fewwiggle]

Very boring act. Regardless how it was done, "we" imagine he could do (most of) this with technology, so there is no 'thrill'

[@DummyUrD]

Personally, I think the performance was a bit boring, but his sleight of hand was really good. I especially like how he dealt the card right at the edge of the cone of light to sell the instant change even better, that was really great. I tried out to deal cards with some rubber gloves but I really had problems to deal to the 2nd person on the table doing that and dealing to the 3rd person was impossible altogether. Hard to play cards that way.

[@antonnym214]

"That's how I got my green card." In the USA, the immigration status cards for naturlization were green. So if you got your green card, that means you could legally stay in the country. The card is no longer green, but the saying remains.

[@ktn8329]

Some cards were blue already and he did a second card deal during the “instant change” at 4:10 portion. Other parts the light actually effected the cards and made them actually change. That’s why penn said that some times the light was a magic want and other times it did stuff and was a magic device.

[@Fluffisnoterm]

That cheating move with tweezers was a total flex.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

haha yeah but magic is in essence some kind of flex right? It's doing the impossible..... it's some impressive thing... :)

[@bandit_2ss]

Honey Badger Strength & Conditioning what min?

[@bricelory9534]

My guess is it was an applause cue because it was a clear beat for the trick, not that the switching on the white light was anything particularly fancy.

[@chloemiller5365]

I like how you add different animations in each video whenever you say “ABOUT MAGIC!”

[@Blondie42]

I don't know anyone's mentioned it but Horret was runner up at FISM 2015 immediately behind Shin Lim and his routine was amazing, in case you haven't seen it.

[@magicfun-tx7qq]

Not true. He was joint first place with Shin Lim. They are equals.

[@Blondie42]

@magicfun-tx7qq Not true, it was just as I said it. Because both of them said it.

[@adamcboyd]

Let's say Richard Turner would like some of that dealing.

[@PunxTV123]

yeah his act like richard turner, he pick the 2nd card always.

[@adamcboyd]

@@PunxTV123 There are more subtle ways to talk method, for future reference.

[@SleightClub.]

Witch Doctor btw it wasn’t a second deal. It was a deal form somewhere else, not trying to give too much away but it wasn’t the second card.

[@billyjeffersoniv4344]

This dudes cardestry is amazing

[@360escapades]

Might beat long shot but here is my take.I think Jason Parker is the Mastermind behind all these magic acts.the way he critics the way stares !As though he trained all these magicians????? And now there unleashed to the world to cause havoc.blow our minds.

[@ianho386]

You know you are really good at sleight of hand when people say you are using photo-sensitive paper😂😂😂

[@nethminchamika]

your videos are very helpful... keep it up.

[@rik9086]

Where Penn said the light actually did the magic, he was talking about some physics. An object appears to be a certain color as that is the combination of light it reflects, while it absorbs the rest. If all light of our visible spectrum shines on an object, we claim it a certain color, but if we only light an object with a part of the colors it reflects, it appears to be another color. A green surface that is lighted by blue light only will appear blue.

[@dannyvizor3403]

You're telling me this guy second dealed that smoothly with gloves on and tweezers?!

[@desarguesbaptiste5577]

I guess you can modify the tweezers in order to grab the card on the bottom or something like that.

[@pavmx703]

@@desarguesbaptiste5577 That's what I'd figure. Put some kind of grip on only one side of the tweezers.

[@elLooto]

Seconds are dealt from the grip. the tweezers are irrelevant. Watch Turner dealing seconds one handed.

[@bigbadbyrnes]

you are too pure for this world Jason

[@billyjeffersoniv4344]

It's really cool how you broke his act down from using the gloves. I bet you're really on to something there

[@aak72537]

I love your channel so much! You have such a pleasant and respectful personality!

[@FatLane]

His place mat turning transparent made me think back to the fundamentals of performing. it's not always misdirection and sleight of hand. Sometimes just doing something in the open isn't an illusion, but just a cool trick. Kind of like yanking a table cloth off a table without breaking any dishes.

[@powerpug964]

I see what you mean

[@ed_boogie]

7:38 you can see the card he palmed with his left hand fall from his hand behind the table. Which I assume was a solid card. Overall very well done.

[@MonteD1]

The gloves actually helped him grip the felt that was covering the clear mat. You can see him preparing to pull it at 7:38 and then stowing it when the camera angle changes.

[@Wiwb411]

Great video! Thank you for making the show bigger, I can see the magic and your reaction. Keep up the great work!!

[@JasonParkerMagic]

I do it every time I can... most "Got Talent' shows don't allow me to do it though and still have to make face big for those... :(

[@andrewdickens7016]

One of the most creative act that did not fool, just great performance

Great video and great story time! Thanks, man

Good commentary as always, and the Aesop's Fables is a nice finishing touch. I find myself sticking around to hear the little short story. Thank you.

[@johnkean6852]

Loved your theory of the evolution of his act

[@johnkean6852]

Great stuff JP

[@VancouverMagic]

His sleights were quite fluid and I believe there were parts where he was using his rough side to accomplish some of the displays.

[@soccerking710]

Awesome vids! Keep em coming.

This seemed more like a chemistry presentation.

[@jordanroyal9762]

Jason. I will need your entertaining videos now more than ever. Starting school. :(

[@JasonParkerMagic]

ah no..... sorry to hear that! Just keep ahead / on time with your homework and reading and it should be all good! I remember the worst times were when I allowed myself to slip behind and trying doubly hard to catch up is NO FUN. Hope your semester goes well. And IM REALLY GLAD to hear that my videos help you with stress relief :)

[@jordanroyal9762]

@@JasonParkerMagic thanks bud. Keep doing you.

[@charleswoodruff9013]

The cards are clear and are coated with a chemical that reacts to different wavelengths of light. The sweat from his fingers would've probably smudged the cards, which is why is wore gloves. Also, the light probably also included an ultraviolet bulb, which will cause some chemicals to fluoresce.

[@RoyvanArem]

Maybe the chemical is toxic and that's why he has to wear gloves

[@californiumkineticsoup367]

Well, I don't feel very suicidal so it must have been good. Thanks, you saved my life again ^!^

[@MexieMex]

That routine was a NOC out!

[@JasonParkerMagic]

[@ningding7381]

He finally fooled Penn and Teller with another act.

[@sirlaugholot]

I may not care about reaction vids, what i do miss is your willingness to communicate. It was refreshing.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

hey thank you :)

[@sirlaugholot]

Not sure what the opposite would be...action...prevention... Dont know... Iam encouraged when people do good Godly things.

[@TheNuggzt3r]

That turnover pass at the start made me not expect very much. Then there came that flawless second deal.

[@Mcmysteria]

That second deal is insane.

[@Mcmysteria]

And I get to the end and Penn points out he has been doing this move with gloves on the whole time.,,..holy crap didn’t even think of that.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

You know I actually thought it was a bottom deal :)

[@exectech]

Jason, I think the color changing is just the way light works with our eyes (along with his slight of hand). A white card under a green light will look green, AND a green card will look white under a green light (or other color). There are a lot of optical illusion demonstrations that show this. So he would just have to swap white cards with green and they would both look the same under the green light. Then he pulls them out from the green light and voila, they are green.

[@litedeveloper]

the aesop was so good I lost my train of rant on the trick well. played lol

[@josepheapen7690]

This was a beautifuly crafted trick but what he did is mostly slight of hand using the light as a distraction..but i think one set of cards did have some kind of photosynthetic color changing stuff. like the mugs you get

[@digpen]

around 7:42, at the end of his trick you can see him drop his left hand and pull off the velvet covering on the mat.

[@gusteg83]

04:40 "duh, and/or hello" as Archer should had said. Green Card needed to be in America

[@W3l3ho]

yo Jason!! have you seen horrets fism act? that is so amazing stuff

Nice dissapearing dude! I had to not blink and watch in 0.25x to see how you did it. Love you man awesome vids.

I watched at .25 and still didn't see what happened!

[@JasonParkerMagic]

haha thanks! :)

[@ModItBetter]

Great performance , Hopefully we see a variant on the show with pure slight of hand.. I actually was thinking right at the end maybe the light was a prop to fool them and us..

[@hikaru555]

4:38 not sure if that was a serious question but yes that was lol

[@LepricahnsGold]

What he was referring to in the "green card" joke was US permanent residency cards for non-citizens used to be a pale green color. There not, now, but that's how they came to be called "green cards".

[@Nyhmii]

great reaction! don't know whatsup with google, but not getting notifications. Even with bell on always

[@brianszopinski98]

You're funny guy you got a good sense of humor 🤣🤣🤣

[@peters616]

It was a good entertaining routine but I was more impressed with his background video clips. It seemed in the beginning that he only showed both sides of the first two and last two white cards and only one side of the rest. So i assumed the rest were colored on the back and a lot of trick was him dealing the colored under card. There were a few things he did where I didn't know how it was done though and he generally seems to be very skilled.

[@michaelkim4570]

Cool reaction👍👏

[@kchose2766]

7:39 slide of hand.

[@gusteg83]

6:50 Freudian slip? Did he just somewhat explained the trick?

[@RobertBallMagician]

Some nice effects with the cards and light.😊

[@20-6]

Keyword : "Horret Wu TBS Japan" in Google, then after, youtube card-magic-video, timing 6'55'', to be performed by him!

[@JoeScottish]

The Aesop moral is "There is always someone worse off than yourself.".... today's was pretty easy to guess

[@kirkjohnson9353]

Well, he is obviously extremely talented with cards. For me, this routine falls kind of flat. By mixing technology in my brain just starts to assume anything I don't understand IS technology- and not magic. And therefore, I was not as amazed as I should have been. Every one else seems to like it so maybe it's just me that sees it that way. I hope to see more of his work as he is really good.

[@dartfield4655]

you should definitely see some other stuff from him like his mind blowing jumbo card routine :)

[@marctompkins3001]

The cards are specially treated with a chemical. Kinda like a doctor looking for blood in a sample. The liquid is clear, but it shows up blue if found positive. Or like the black light that will show up traces of blood, even when a murder scene has been cleansed up. His chemical works in many mimicking colors.

[@floggyWM1]

you over complicating the trick, he deals the cards from the bottom of the deck

[@thomasarussellsr]

I was waiting for him to tear a clear card and pour out some Skittles.

[@ashesdrivered]

I slowed down playback and noticed he deals off the bottom of the deck. Check 4:11 or so at 1/2 speed.

[@chialor1945]

Anyone who wins FISM has a great story line to their magic. I enjoyed his act on the show. I think he could have even stepped it up much more honestly.

[@andrewdickens7016]

Couple of possible different methods used At first it could be the old wire finger trick Then it could be the headphones giving instructions The guy is sneaky and his routine has a lot of red herrings so he has outs for p-+t’s guesses

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Yep I've already done a reaction to him! BTW.. I noticed that channel you mentioned is simply uploading entire episodes of Fool Us recently from TV? lol... now THATS copyright infringement. He didn't even add any reaction or commentary... just uploaded a copy from tv. NOW THAT WOULD SAVE ME A LOT OF TIME! lol....

The Tweezers are quite large and if the bottom has more GRIP to it that could also make things easier

[@sydthemagician]

I was really happy to see Horret Wu to be on Fool Us; however, I feel he should have done his fism winning routine. This routine was great in every way but I feel this wasn't as shocking as his other routine.

[@igorsvacic217]

Pretty simple trick to desolve. Some colour changes (literally lol), few known sleights, second deal, thats it. This routine is heavily inspired by a similar routine I saw years ago, but I cant remember whose it was. It was done with multiple colour light bulbs tho. And it was MUCH more impressive

[@MavisRileyJunior]

@igor Svacic Andos FISM 2012 its on youtube.

[@shaynecastillo1746]

Jason Parker the reason why people were applauding when the card turned green is because he said " that's how i get my green card " get it? Green card!lol

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Yeah at the moment I was confused if that's what he meant as a joke / pun or not..... but yeah now I realize it's definitely what he meant. :) :P

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Haven't watched the video yet, but I watched this when it aired. The only thing that I thought I might know was the false deal with the colored cards after each time he changes one card to the correct color with the light. Kind of like Richard Turner does by acting like he is sliding off the top card and dealing from the bottom in a smooth motion. I think the cards weren't all white to start with and he had some colored ones in there or that they were some type of color changing cards. He also showed only one side of the "white" cards the way he handled them before the trick really started. IDK .... but here we go. also 7:39 why people were looking at the clear cards he yonks the black cover off lol

[@beansbeans1000]

Hey Jason. I watch all your videos now. Could say I'm hooked I guess. Magic has always fascinated me, but I'm not a magician in any shape or form. I couldn't help but notice you said nothing about why the multicolored cards did not fade back to white slowly as the blue one did. They were under the light for the longest time. Also the parts of the cards that were covered by other cards had changed into the various colors without even being exposed to the light. Hmmm. The more I think about it the less I get impressed. Nevertheless it was entertaining up to that point. Keep up the great work and the short stories. Reminds me of school. We read a lot of Ray Bradbury and Roald Dahl in class back in the 80's. Love your channel.

[@joeytulips2180]

7:43 you see him slide the fabric off his mat and lap it

[@Visualeaf]

I love this act and this routinr, and his sleights were amazing. However, I feel like the moment where the light is constantly changing colors and he spreads the deck under it and you see he was using so many different colored cards in the first place was a mistake in performance design. It was in a way showing his hand, I felt, by proving he did have cards that were already colored the different colors. It didn't add anything either, I felt. It only served to undercut the the entire concept a bit.

[@markemerson98]

pretty sure theres a few BDs from what i can see

[@MonteD1]

I thought the same thing about the rubber gloves.

[@DavidLindes]

I thought this was a delightful performance. Not quite as magical to me as DK, but... up there. I see (through replays) how he did some of the key things, and know (through past experience of color theory and such) how some of the rest worked, but it was an utter delight none the less, and a lot of it I did have to go back for or be really thinking about to make sense of.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

No I haven't and no I don't think I could! they have a ton of magic experience

[@michaelolson6982]

I saw this magician on P&T and I knew that P&T would say that they were not fooled by the act, but I do not think that they knew exactly what happened or enough to get away saying that they were not fooled with the amount they said, I know that the judges are listening and they must have approved the decision and that means that we do not know where the bar is set for identifying what happened in a generic way verses exactly what happened.

[@gigo20]

The tweezers let him access his inside pocket to swap out which deck he was holding right? Not a magician here, just slightly caught up on misdirections.

What kinda bothered me about the "weak blue light" is that blue light is actually more energetic than red light. He should have put just a bit more thought into the patter :) Other than that, I enjoyed the performance.
