[@JasonParkerMagic]

1) How did you enjoy Vincenzo's performance? I thought it was incredibly creative and well put together. Not to mention that accomplishing his final effect must have been difficult! 👍 2) If you enjoyed, then subscribe and click Like! 3) Yes... I know... I should be working on my audition video! 😅 But I just wanted to film at least one reaction mid-week.

Are you doing a performance on Penn and teller, where you review your own performance on pen and teller? Inception!

[@_definitelymaybe2332]

All the best, mate and now get down to practice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@larryd4352]

It was a very creative and entertaining act for sure. I figured the whole thing had to do with the helmet and the glasses. On the first part, I figured there was something on the card Allison chose that only the magician could see. And maybe the box was rigged with a secret bottom that he triggered that moved all the pieces of paper to a secret compartment...and released the papers that only had the butterfly. I think the helmet had something that triggered the 3D view of the butterfly for her to see. I am probably wrong..just my thoughts. Enjoyed your video! Can't wait to see you on TV with Penn & Teller!

[@adarsh.b3047]

Amazing performance...... truely enjoyed it.

[@LaStNLiNe]

So how IS your audition material going? Maybe aside from your reaction videos you can do some Audition updates??

[@bicpapermate]

Dear Jason: If you appear on Fool Us, will you do a video reacting to yourself? And if you do, do you think you'll be able to figure out how you did the trick?

[@rex007king]

Alyson looks so cute in the hat. She's also so sportive and supportive as well.

[@wayneyadams]

13:34 We never go tto see the other pieces of paper in the box. It is very likely they all had the same image on them. This trick is more about having a good time than amazing magic. Penn gave it away when he said everyone was wearing the same glasses, or almost the same, meaning Alyson's glasses were rigged in some way. He also mentioned seeing the light just like Alyson. Last Christmas we drove through an amazing outdoor light display. At the entrance they gave us holographic glasses that showed showed multiple mages of candy canes whenever we looked at a bright light. Everywhere we looked the lights were surrounded by hundreds of little candy canes.

[@JasonParkerMagic]

wow the holographic lenses and candy canes experience sounds very cool!

[@notthere83]

The timing on Teller's glasses really was SO awesome...

[@moniker]

Loved it.

[@thundernuts9283]

at 4:35 Allison is still covering up the "water mark" that Vinny needs to see with his special glasses..so he asks her to move her hands in a magical way...

[@aselrahc]

I think Penne’s comment about the “conformity of the crowd” is the code you missed. 😉

[@Davesdiy]

The butterfly was a force, the glasses were like those Christmas glasses you can get which makes lights look like snowmen or xmas trees.

[@PhilBagels]

I think you're right! I didn't think of that. That's a much simpler answer. The audience's glasses had a "square" filter, so that points of light would make squares, and Allison's glasses had a butterfly-shaped filter. So both the butterfly and the square were forces. I can understand how the butterfly was forced, but I didn't see any opportunity for the square to be forced.

[@fuzzydrawrings269]

@@PhilBagels The card had marks on the back, that's how he knew it was a square. He tried to give the impression that the audience all said "square" but if you listen they're definitely not all saying the same thing at all. The audience all called out random choices.

[@tnmtemerity]

The TSA was onto something...

[@88porpoise]

fuzzy drawings I thought half the joke was that the audience clearly didn’t know.

[@edlabetski]

@@PhilBagels basically yes. Audience had simple cheap no effect glasses, and she got ones that turns lights into maybe slightly phallic looking butterflies. As for cards they could be just marked, he looks at the top one before she picks it up.

[@erizzle67]

The music at the start of his intro package is Bach, Brandenburg No 4, 1st movement "Allegro", just in case anyone is wondering!

[@raphaeljames9382]

Thanks

[@iamgort70]

Because of a camera edit we never see him take the original two drawings out of the box, he palmd them the spider & the house. The box has a false diagonal panel, notice that the box that opens doesn't have a normal lid, he may have had the audience put drawings in there but the diagonal panel covers them when he opens the box (facing himself of course) then what he tipped out on the table in front of Teller were ALL drawings of butterflies already in the box in the 'reveal' compartment thus can meeting the 'force'. The glasses he gives Allison merely have the butterfly effect (see what I did there?) on their lenses.

[@Peeps86]

I really like this guy. Really fun and entertaining. I would love to watch him perform again.

[@LaStNLiNe]

I concur... He seemed very comfortable on stage... I feel seeing an entire act would be a good one...

[@coleeg69]

I've already seen his performance and liked it, but your reactions makes me want to see his performance or any performance twice!

[@marcelnz]

ALL of the drawings were butterflies.

[@malex4321]

I always go straight to your videos when I get an update!! 😊

[@JasonParkerMagic]

Thanks! really appreciate it! :)

[@GigiHudnall]

VIncenzo is a great showman! And that is what is so entertaining about him. I did like that he asked for and received audience participation, which always makes the audience feel included instead of just spectators! I also loved the helmet! You are right that it looks like it was fun to put together. As far as the fable, yes, it was ironic. I guess you can't fault a hunter for hunting you if you yourself were also hunting? Also, break a leg (or break a card? Not sure what magicians say...) on your audition! I am VERY excited for you!!!

[@moniker]

THANK YOU! I appreciate your kind words and I'm so glad you enjoyed my act.

[@PridePinball]

I suddenly feel like watching "Ghostbusters."

[@malex4321]

You beat me faster than an ⚡️ with that comment!!

[@sbaxter4207]

Such a great movie. The original, of course.

[@blackjack67576]

I don't know, a couple wavy lines.....

[@khendar]

I think the glasses has diffracting lensing material on them, and when Alyson looks at the bright light on Tellers helmet it displays a butterfly bokeh-like effect.

[@BrianSu]

I think so too. And his own glasses has polariser which allows him to see markings on the back of the cards hence he knew she had the square.

[@lalalalamm]

I'm so excited to see what you come up with for your audition video for Fool Us! Best of luck!!

[@harleykeiner4095]

i just love the intensity of your face when you watch these. I hope you react to yourself on Fool Us.

[@seanfowler8552]

The Hunter and the Eagle fable is about how we are often part of our own undoing.

[@goodmaro]

The detail about getting into magic, then getting away from it for a while, then getting back into it, is a familiar one not just for magic as you say, but *all entertainers.* Rodney Dangerfield went back and forth a few times between comedy and sales careers. Laura Cantrell between singing and Wall Street. And so on. Plus, even staying within the entertainment field, performers tend to go back and forth between different specialties.

[@marcedwards5583]

Great performance. Even though there's probably a simple explanation, the performance was so much fun.

[@Puffster]

He actually revealed that the box was gimmicked when he said TSA inspected it. This could only mean it had a concealed compartment/flap.

[@transformer889]

I think you are very correct

[@giorgioleoni3471]

Or simply that it's a special box, since he had to bring it from home

[@jonathanholz3510]

Moral of the story: what you discard or leave behind may lead or assist in your own ruin

[@johnjohn-cs9eu]

He did not switch on the psychic hat when Teller wore it - continuity is important.

[@moniker]

It was still on!

[@polingification]

Allison moves like an 80s 🤖

[@JeanDavidMoisan]

Can't wait for the: magician reacts to Jason Parker on fool us!

[@user-wu7ug4ly3v]

The box is off-the-shelf mentalism. The trick to fool them was about how they got Alison to see the 🦋

[@RussBillard]

Nova Scotia, my home province. Hope all is well with everyone Jason. Thanks for another reaction video.

[@maksphoto78]

I watched some of this video wearing my red-blue glasses.

[@zzxd7720]

Maybe on the helmet there are cameras that point downards. That's why he told Alison and Teller to fasten the chin strap. So the helmet would be always on the right position. Then the 3d glasses Alisson used had polarizing filters, so she can see what the white light is projecting on the front part of the helmet.

[@RichardRoger1966]

hmmm.... for YOUR audition: Make sure to use one of them (Penn or Teller) as part of the act, to keep them busy. Yes, they will be closer, but easier to miss a little something when they're involved.

[@nikkiandkeesha9617]

I went to school with this kid haha this is nuts

[@xandresglx]

Jason I am addicted to your videos 😬

[@yland6003]

There are glasses that have a film on them that make all sorts of fun shapes when you look at small lights. (Squares for the audience, and butterflies for the Magician &Allison) So I guess he forced the selection, how? I loved this one!

[@PedrovoriskAB]

Hey jason, good to see you back.. !!!

[@johnjohn-cs9eu]

Success with the prep and you will nail the audition JP

[@marvinpelt6700]

3d glasses he was wearing shows the card when looking at the lights on the helmet

[@dinpuiaraltesiakeng2818]

Mr Jason, I really want to see you on that stage performing! Wish you luck, hope you fool them!!!!!! Goodluck!!!!!!!!!!

[@SamKSammyNitro]

my guess is the helmet pics up the image when the wearer looks at the drawing and projects it in light towards the person wearing the 3D glasses which allow the wearer to see the image.

[@Robin92B]

Yea i kinda need you to react to every single Fool Us act ever,,, cuz i love the content!

[@JasonParkerMagic]

thank you! :)

[@jervimiah]

What makes you choose what magicians to react to? Because I think there's like 1 performer from each show you don't react to 🤔

[@jimthor806]

Jervimiah some of them are literally not worth it

[@johnjohn-cs9eu]

The sound effect reminded me of Star Trek

[@nadimasghar2853]

Hey Jason i’ve never commented on a single video here. I love your videos about penn and teller. Please do a reaction on Michael vincent who performed on penn and teller. That sleight of hand is just crazyyyyy. My head is still spinning from watching it. How the hell on earth did he actually do that?

[@goodmaro]

Allison's intimating that she had a raunchy thought is just schtick.

[@chazM6116]

I think it the "AmazeBox" by Mark Shortland who has been on fool us

[@MexieMex]

It did appear to be just that.

[@billyjeffersoniv4344]

I think you'll make it on brother. If not this year there is always next year. I cant wait to watch you on there whenever it happens

[@sbaxter4207]

i really thought this trick was great. I was expecting Pen to be full of praise like he is with so many other contestants.

[@moniker]

Thank you, s baxter! I'm so glad you enjoyed my act.

[@KeithOtisEdwards]

Those watching this are missing an opportunity to see more of Vincenzo Ravina in his show over Zoom. You sign-up at his website, and he sends you an alert when the show takes place. I’ve participated in one and was impressed. The show is mostly mentalism, and none of the tricks Vincenzo performs were purchased in a magic shop. They’re all original; at least I’ve seen nothing like them. The price is whatever you want to pay.

[@notthere83]

I don't get it - how are they missing that opportunity? Surely, he doesn't do his show EXACTLY when I watch this...

[@KeithOtisEdwards]

notthere83 -§- No, he did all new and different tricks, mostly mentalism. I enjoyed participating with the other guys (fellow nerds, of course) and interacting. Just the thing I needed during the quarantine (although I think that at once point he wanted me to shut up). It was a small audience, so I don’t know if or when he’ll have his next Zoom performance. You should visit his website. What I liked the most was that nothing he did was purchased at a magic store. All original tricks - some were not so good, but one was, IMO, the equal of Derren Brown! The important thing was that interacting with the magician and the audience was _waaay_ better than just watching something on TV. If the plague continues, this will be the future of close-up magic and mentalism.

[@JusNoBS420]

Nice code talk on the edit cut Jason!

[@susansemola8606]

[@colmwhateveryoulike3240]

I think Alison was just joking on the spot about Teller having a dirty mind to correspond to his suggestive eyebrow waggles.

[@polihayse]

Maybe the original picture he picked was a picture of something inappropriate, and it was cut and edited. Allison could be referencing that first image when she said it couldn't be said on television?

[@johnkean6852]

Aesop: Trust no-one. Even the Majestic can be victims of treachery.

[@AndreVandal]

I think the glasses that were different was the ones he gave both Penn and Teller, otherwise they would have seen the trick with the square that the audience saw.

[@aredub1847]

he should have made a "and someone drew a peni.., lets just put that one away" joke.

[@maksiuhong]

I remind me of my young experience at Disney park. It was Christmas and everyone got a 3D glasses. There were a few types of glasses. When you were wearing it, every light you saw would appear in a special shape such as mickey and snowflake. I think this is the same mechanic. Every audience got the glasses with a square and Alyson got the one with the butterfly. Penn and Teller just got the glasses with nothing. For the selection, I think all the paper may have the same butterfly on it. The two examples he showed maybe pulled out from his sleeves or something like that.

[@DavidMulderOne]

If that's how he did it then the force from the cardboard box would mean it has secret compartments to switch out the audience drawings for his own drawings, which would explain the TSA inspection.

[@gehyashgigzwerg]

I am no expert in magic, BUT didn't he show us the cards and then gave those same cards to Alyson to shuffle and pick the top one? Also while she is mixing them, you can see that they have different pictures. So i think the first part of this trick is in the helmet, not the glasses...

[@maksiuhong]

@@gehyashgigzwerg I also not an expert. What I am talking about is the selection of the 2nd part of the routine. For the 1st part, it should be some kind of force but I didn't recognise it. However, from the reaction of Jason, it probably is something most magician knows. I don't think Alyson was having a free selection. If she did, the magician needed to somehow find out what she picked and control the helmet. I also don't think the image seen by the audiences can be affected by the helmet.

[@Vegas89156]

I was wondering the same EXACT thing about the background as well!!! I think that would look soooo cool in 3-D.

[@MrXBT2000]

Actually the background image appears to be invalid for the glasses they have. Left eye (red glass) would see the left half and right eye the right half. That means that your eyes would have to diverge, which does not happen normally. If anything it would have resulted in headache or possibly triggering strabismus. If the red and blue side of the background was swapped it would have been meaningful for your eyes, resulting in the image appearing to be very close to you.

[@Vegas89156]

X-BT 2 things...1) What the hell is Strabismus??? Lol And 2) What if I flipped the glasses upside down so that way the colors would correctly correlate with the background???

[@MrXBT2000]

@@Vegas891561) a medical condition (eyes not focusing on the same point), the term in my native language is well known, but I had to look up the English translation, check Wikipedia. 2) if you flip the glasses around (left-right, not upside down) you get the same effect as I described for swapping the red and blue in the background. I didn't study that background in detail though. If there are an odd number of lines it would be messed up and not work. Any interesting 3D effect would however require the lines to be curved differently in the two images - that could make the top and bottom of the image appear to be at different distance.

[@88porpoise]

Vegas6551 strabismus is a lazy eye or being cross eyed. Just wanted to clarify the common English terminology. I say that as someone who has had years of migraines and shit from untreated strabismus (thanks optometrists who said it was just aesthetic) causing double vision roughly 20 years after I first noticed the lazy eye.

[@ikon1403]

Jason will you react to Max Major and Ryan Tricks’s new judge cuts agt performance?

[@RobertBallMagician]

This was a crazy trick 😊😊😂😂😊😊

[@lancetschirhart7676]

9:55 I love how he called out that bullshit segue lol. Perfect response.

[@Bmorgan1220]

That helmet most likely has a camera on it facing downwards towards the hands. With a wireless connection and a very small screen on those glasses this is very doable. Or he is just using misdirection and sleight of hand.

[@GrapevineMediaStudios]

Jack of all trades is a reference to the Jack in the Box trick which is is a variation of. See the light, the image of the butterfly would have been projected

[@ryangueret9282]

I enjoyed the performance. I think the rest of the pics in the box were all butterflies. Also, good look coming up with your act. If you need some ideas, reach out bud.

[@bikeadventuresokanagan9293]

Loved the performance, never heard of V's performance, but hope that changes... Really fun to watch and clueless on the method ..

[@moniker]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed my act!

[@svensorensen7693]

Oh wow, I'm surprised to see you still making videos so close to your deadline, Good Luck~ Very entertaining performance! My guess is that the helmet emits some not normally visible light/pattern that the special glasses can help you see. Seems to match with Penn's comments

[@orange11squares]

could be some holographic infrared or UV projected image But i doubt he has the capability of doing something that complex.

[@jyesucevitz]

im guessing the paper had a uv ink image on the outside and Ravina's and Allison's glasses were different and could see uv. but a uv light would make white items glow purple yet i didnt see it. guess im not sure.

[@jamiewilson9280]

She was just being silly. She couldn’t see anything inappropriate.

[@tnmtemerity]

I think the center of a butterfly drawing could look rather phallic.

[@notme222]

Jamie Wilson That’s not Alyson’s type of joke though. And if he does bars a lot I could believe he’d have a hit with implying dirty jokes.

[@88porpoise]

notme222 Pretty sure she has made a few suggestive jokes on the show before. Or at least played along with them, much like I suspect here she may have been playing along with the look that Teller was giving her here.

[@DL-kc8fc]

She wasn't stupid. It is necessary to get used to "psychedelic" glasses quickly. It is important to always look at the light to make the effect as pronounced as possible.

[@flevin58]

Penn said "like Allyson we also saw the light". Maybe they guessed that the 3D glasses were filtering red or blue colors to show some hidden message in the helmet. But then remains the mystery of how did he know it was a butterfly !!!

Any camera on the helmet?

[@superhunk1989]

Vincenzo's performance was very enjoyable. Really love the helmet. 13:05 - 13:25 I was thinking exactly the same. Seriously. The ending of Aesop's story was kinda sad... it reminds me of a book where the inventor was killed by his own invention.

[@Kinkajou1015]

First, good luck on your audition. If you don't get in this year, refine and try again next year. Second, I'm thinking for the first bit the ESP cards were marked some way for him to be able to see which card she had just by seeing the back of it. The part reading Teller's mind, gotta be some kind of camera getting a quick snapshot of what he picked and then some projection of it. How that would work I would have no idea.

[@davidtechi7564]

Good luck with your preparation

[@mrsmissy2669]

Jason, I'm so glad your trying out for FU. It gives you a better insight into those poor nervous magicians that are trying their best to entertain and FOOL. Btw I pulled out my mind reading glasses and it had no effect on the swirling background in the beginning of the vid but the revolving blue and red pattern appeared to protrude from the screen. Hmmmm. 3D purhaps, lol. I loved Vincenzo's act and really was fooled as usual. Aesops: Growing feathers may be the death of you! yes, ironic.

[@moniker]

Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked my act!

[@knightyyz]

I'm thinking all the folded up pictures were butterflies? The two he showed were sleight of hand not from the box.

[@johnjohn-cs9eu]

That psychic hat _becomes_ Teller.

[@RamakersRoger]

i think everybody is missing out one part, how did he get the audience to shout out square . For me it is an optical effect, using the colour of the 3D glasses and the visuals on the back. I can't see it in the footage, so I didn't see when it happened. But I expect he is using the effect ; If you got a red filter and look to a black screen you see black, if there is a red square or any other colour what is mixed up with red, you will see that square. But if it is pure blue or green , you will not see that square the screen is black for you. So if he would have given the audience 3D glasses with red and green filters in it, the audience would have seen a green square But if he had given Penn and Teller Red an Blue 3D Glasses, they wouldn't have seen it.

[@jodrafting]

There are these cool glasses like that out there that when you look at lights you see an image. Usually you get them around Christmas time and you go out to look at Christmas lights and you see a bunch of butterflies in this case. 1 butterfly for every light. I don't know how he got tell her to pick butterfly unless the whole box was full of butterflies

[@PaxIesus]

I'm pretty sure the glasses were a sort of "Smart Glass," where the hat would act as a camera and transmit the card to the wearer of the glasses. I suspect Penn and Teller were given "Normal" 3-D glasses however, hence why the coded explanation said "Almost all the glasses were identical," implying either that all the audience except P&T had special glasses, or all the glasses except the magician's pair were normal.

[@plectrumura]

This was my first reaction too, but then I can't figure out how he got the image captured correctly. It's not like Teller was looking down at it the whole time. If that was a force it fooled the heck out of me.

[@watcherofwatchers]

You're making it too complicated. It's almost never a secret camera. The drawing was forced, and the helmet illuminates a butterfly etching (or something similar) on the glasses Allyson is wearing. That's my guess, anyway.

[@zzxd7720]

Smart Glasses are bulky and a lot bigger.

[@Jon66B]

@@zzxd7720 And expensive, magicians will always opt for the simplest and cheapest option. Why would you spend $1000s for cameras, smart glasses, etc when you can just force a piece of paper.

[@PhilBagels]

@@watcherofwatchers I suspect the helmet simply displayed the word "square" and then the word "butterfly", rather than an actual picture. The reason I suspect that is Allison's reaction - she may have seen the word "butt" at first, before seeing the full word, "butterfly". Just a guess.

[@johnjohn-cs9eu]

Could there have been a butterfly drawn inside the glasses and Alyson didn't want to be a party pooper? You touched on this too JP then Penn said :" *almost* all the glasses were the same." (Obviously a box of butterfly drawings since we did not see him take the house and spider out of the box?)
