Notice everything is number based. Value of coins, number of state, values of height, date of birth, etc, all of which Morgan has memorised and trained to receive. My guess is some kind of wireless morse code, fed to him somewhere on his body, for example Nebraska's state number is 37, memorised 3-7, and thus translated into Nebraska via Morgan's memory of each state number.

If that were the case, the producers would not have allowed the fool. The producers, who are all master magicians know how the trick works ahead of time, from the acts. This is done so that a judge's decision can be made in case Penn and Teller make a wrong guess. Maybe they disabled the comments because of stupid and rude people.
@jmpgoalie934 жыл бұрын
Here's a super-late reply for you! It's not possible for a contestant to cheat or lie about the method. The show has a professional magician on the production team. Before they are allowed to do the trick on stage, they have to show him how the trick is done. Penn and Teller don't know the method in advance, but the producer does. If they had tried to lie, they'd have gotten caught, and would definitely not have been invited back to do a second act.

Moe Lester I know that. But there was no need to reveal that piece of info, unless it was a decoy. The guy with Alison (Morgan) is a memory guy, he used memory tricks in their first routine to fool P&T reading hand signals. It's possible he could learn the different tones of each coin, but no way possible he could know the tone of 20 coins and know the exact value of the total coins dropped, nor know the details on the driving licence. They use other forms of communication, in the first routine it was hand signals, in this routine I'm not sure what it was unless I research P&T's reveal. Either way saying that was either a slip of the tongue, or a decoy to try and trick P&T into thinking it was purely sound based which it was not.

"Oh no, Alison, U.S. coins wasn't really a bother because we still use the same coding system. derp a derp."
