MURRAY The Magician on Penn & Teller 'Fool Us'

[@byronp2311]

It's nice to see someone on here that is ONLY here to perform a classic and to pay hommage to someone who came before him. And using that guys props. P & T must have appreciated that.

[@flogoph13]

byron p Totally agree, awesome performance they should just give him a pass for an act in one of their live shows, or said if there’s not one audience member in here that you didn’t fool we’l give you a FU trophy and a spot in one of our shows....just my opinion, but like you said not just because of the performance but for paying homage and doing a performance he knew wouldn’t fool them but would definitely entertain them and that they could appreciate 👍🏼

[@byronp2311]

@@flogoph13 I sometimes suspect that they give the FU (gotta love that) to some who didn't actually fool them, but were so flawless that they were impressed.

[@mikel9567]

@@byronp2311 It is always given to people who actually fool them. They never give it just because they were "impressed". It's not even their call whether they give a trophy or not, it's the judges call. Before Penn and Teller even engage the performer, they already know if they are getting a trophy or not. All the banter and code is just for show.

[@byronp2311]

@@mikel9567 You may be right. I think I was simply repeating something I read elsewhere. On a somewhat related note, The Apprentice was fully scripted. And not by Trump. He just did his lines. Not that I ever watched the damned thing.

[@tendopain2291]

@@mikel9567 do you mean that penn&teller did already see the trick before the show or that the judges decide for/instead of them and penn&teller simply have to do it

[@ataraxia7439]

I almost feel like the should have a different category for people that aren’t trying to fool them so much as just do a cool trick for everyone. This was really nice.

[@AlTheEngineer]

I really respect Murray, he 100% knew that Penn & Teller would not be fooled by this trick, but he wanted to bring it to the live audience to honor his mentor and make him proud - I really admire that! Honor in show-biz is nearly dead with Hollywood eating itself alive, its refreshing to see this :) Great act BTW, I truly enjoyed it!

[@german69692007]

really?

[@pauldwalker]

i don’t care that it’s an old trick that many understand. the execution is flawless and remains enjoyable no matter how many times i see it.

[@hockley91]

It's great to see him on Pawn Stars too! He brings so much history to the artifacts. He was able to prove that a straight jacket was actually owned and worn by Houdini.

[@cchavezjr7]

He's one of my favorite experts from the show.

[@sleepyjoe8459]

Am I the only one who recognizes this guy from Pawn Stars? The one where they called him in to verify the authenticity of a genuine Houdini straight jacket

[@TheMagicofRoberto]

thats him! he has also been on pawnstars many other times

[@bmhernandez8798]

i remember him from Blind Date!

[@sabrinamarkham8715]

Lol I was just going to comment and say, I think I know this man, and I was going to ask if it was pawn stars!

[@sailaab]

oh man.. yes! . . that makes sense though.. since he has all the Hollywoody connections. . . that (Pawn Stars) show and other reality shows (including P&T) aŕe obviously a bit too glissed up and rigged (fake.. to mske it palatable or sensational)

[@philipknott6397]

I know. He has been on Pawn Stars. I have been here in Las Vegas for 32 years.

[@saipawankumar5297]

Your intention was never to fool them but rather use this platform to pay homage to your legendary teacher. Great job Sir! Hats off

[@st4rlegend716]

1:56 these expressions says everything XD

[@TheDisarminghinkle]

I love watching people get to have an opportunity to geek out over something they love. And, I love that Penn and Teller are still down to Earth enough to geek out over a classic act.

[@roguishpaladin]

It wasn't just the act, though. The fact that those were the original props used is a heck of a treat for them - the magician equivalent of, say, Cal Ripken's jersey when he broke the consecutive games played streak.

[@TheDisarminghinkle]

@@roguishpaladin You had an opportunity to say the record-breaking ball. But, instead you went with the JERSEY!?

[@KSE828]

I highly doubt Murray was actually trying to fool Penn & Teller with that simple trick. He likely wanted to pay homage to Mr. Electric mostly.

[@BusGoesRound]

He literally confirmed it himself

[@wilsonm.d6923]

duh

[@mindicity3874]

I'm sure he wanted to pay homage, but Murray Sawchuck also has his own show in Vegas. Like when Mac King came on, it's advertising for their shows, plus they're friends of Penn and Teller's.

[@AL-pt2of]

Or simply to gain more public exposure for himself.

[@kevinmessineo5710]

Intelligence shows. Everyone knew mur wasn’t do it to fool. He’s a pro

[@michaeljaffe5665]

I remember the first time that I saw Marvin & Carol perform this illusion 30 years ago. His style and showmanship will never be forgotten. His lecture was quite interesting as well. He said that he had no problem exposing how he did his illusions since no "young magician" would take the time necessary to try and duplicate it. I am glad that you are keeping part of his act alive. Great tribute and a great job!

[@TheMagicofRoberto]

Hey Murray, Roberto here, DAMN, you are professional to the TEE! Only other magician with such grace and class and TRUE showmanship of our time along with David Copperfield. I still think you are highly underrated in the Magic industry, compared to others who call themselves brainfreaks, I applaud you and your talents naturally on stage!

[@SDesWriter]

Some tricks are to fool the guys, some are to show off the magician's skills, and some are just to entertain. Glad to see something done just because it's entertaining and how we remember magic growing up. Also good to see a magician whose doesn't need him to fool them to feel fulfilled.

[@DavidFMayerPhD]

It was nice to see the re-presentation of a classic act.

[@SpideyHypnosis]

Dude I love this! And mostly I love how you did something that you knew for a fact they knew the method to and prioritized honouring your mentor rather than doing one of your many many tricks that had better odds of fooling them! ❤️

[@xXTheBl4ckC4tXx]

It is more getting his name out. He just came to be on camera, since he could not and didn´t even want to fool anyone...

[@SpideyHypnosis]

xXTheBl4ckC4tXx TRUST me Murray very much CAN fool many pros. He chose not to

[@xXTheBl4ckC4tXx]

"Trust me" never sounds trustworthy. Thought that can very well be the truth. He didn´t accept a challenge, wasted potential. Better try and fail, than not try at all.

[@ospexc8822]

This channel isn't him idiot

[@TripleTreuViet]

Its "honoring" u dumbass

[@Robothut]

Always loved Mr Electric, saw him on the Ed Sullivan show as wee kid. Just fantastic when he produced a never ending string of lit lights from his mouth. And with the tech of the 1960's to work with.

[@RequiemDream]

Robothut My father was at Fool Us as a magican. He fooled Penn and Teller, he used a small German gas chamber and gased a kitten, Penn and Teller didn't get the trick, that was because there was no trick, he actually gased the kitten! He fooled Penn and Teller hard!

[@Viewer13128]

where can i watch your father's video?

Your just brilliant Murray. . Great mind great personality the perfect magician in my eyes.. I wish I had your confidence around people as it's something I struggle a lot with.. I'm a practicing magician who keeps failing with nerves around strangers it makes it so difficult.. your an inspiration to me to be better.

[@davidmunns135]

I remember Mr Electric his act was fi nominal and I’m so excited to see Marvin Roy’s original props in use once again a great trick but I knew it wasn’t going to fool Penn & Teller but a great trick though

Beautiful routine, Murray!

Wasn’t this guy on Pawn Stars once? They called him in to asses a straight jacket supposedly warn by Houdini.

While it is always nice to see something totally new created by a magician, I love it when they can perform something that can harken back to the roots of stage magic *_and_* pay homage to older magicians.

[@keekeecoloring]

Just saw him at the park county fair n he was amazing

[@ChrisKramer_]

she had that dance, like an old cartoon lol i loved it

[@justinmosher6223]

I love the fact that he said we learned from the the best musicians that means the Elder ones that taught him and that's the real meaning of life but a lot of us don't take that knowledge to live life at that age that we get told but I was describing start watching continue to follow

[@shawnr771]

I hope your museum got a bump in attendance.

[@reeruns9972]

The reason this show is so great is because whether the magician fools them or not, every bit is different and SO cool!

[@markalexwhite]

Serious muscles in the assistant's left arm! ;-)

[@hockley91]

That was awesome! It's like a comedian doing some old material again for a new audience to enjoy. Being able to perform these older tricks certainly gives insight into the process of magic and illusion.

Finally, a five minute video that’s entertaining, compared to the other ten minute ones that doesn’t result in a fool.

[@claymccoy]

After the show he went on the parking lot and covered people's cars in milk.

[@Bbbshushrhrsux]

Dude I remember seeing this guy perform in my elementary school in like 2003

[@MrReaperHand]

I always love seeing them walk off stage and leave all the props. It is even more interesting considering these are the Mr. Electric original props. I am sure either he came back on stage to grab everything himself or the handlers grabbed em. I am leaning towards him because of the care he wants to use to be sure everything is fine with them and if something were to happen it would be his fault not others. I loved this it was no e to see. It may be a simple trick, but I am a simple man and easily fooled by magic. Made me smile

[@andreaskarlsson5251]

Homage to one of his idols?

[@goodmaro]

I guess the pitcher must be like one of those trick baby bottles that can receive liquid into an internal chamber; I had such a toy. If so, he must have tilted the pitcher as far as it would go before we could see that chamber.

[@davidwalter2002]

I love how P&T have such respect for those that paved the way for their success, and for the students of those forefathers who pay homage in their own acts. No, you didn't fool them, but the warmth that flowed between you was unmistakable. It was nothing but respect from one professional to another.

[@ItsCapital]

I've seen this guy as an expert on Pawn Stars!

[@ku8721]

Murray didn't do this for the attention... he did it just to see Teller's face light up more than the bulb!!! Honestly he could've brought DOZENS of tricks out there! Many of his own creation, but if you saw the look on Teller's face several times. Well then you know he was playing to a house of only one!

[@MrCatface]

Is... Is that the freaking Smokey the Bear vs McGruff the Crime Dog song in the background??????? But for why?

[@sniffableandirresistble]

Class act

[@jasonredhorn87]

Awesome performance Murray. didn't youtube delete like all of his videos for some reason not too long ago?

[@lionelkeks1074]

After going through the comments, it seems am the only one who doesn’t know how the trick was done... especially the milk in the folded paper part. 😂

[@itsamemario444]

my guess is a gimmicked pitcher so when he is "pouring" into the paper its draining into a reservoir in the middle of the pitcher and once it's full he drips a little into the paper to make it look like he overfilled it. Then the rest of the trick is just simple stuff and the hardest part was for the girl to hold 1/2 gallon above her head.

[@calebfink3542]

That a cool trick, but it would be cool to see a reimagined version where it would be harder to tell there's a real light above the one filled with milk. Using the incredible technology that is LEDs I'd imagine that you could get a much smaller base. Either way those are really ingenious props!

[@richardwintle1020]

The real tell is the statement that it's a 500 watt light bulb. It's not bright enough, and would be way too hot for the assistant to hold for any length of time. What a great act though.

[@SuperAgentMan]

Pretty sure this guy has been on Pawn Stars
