Penn and Teller: Fool Us | Magic with an Etch A Sketch | Abby Segal

[@flamezoidtron]

I think the real magic here is the fact that a human being can make anything other than incomprehensible lines and squares on an etch-a-sketch LOL

[@modergav]

YES

[@MarkMcDaniel]

It takes a lot of practice to even begin to make regular shapes.

[@tonyh9970]

I can make stairs all day long. So, I guess I'm a real magician. 😂

[@flamezoidtron]

@@tonyh9970 lmfao hellll yeah

[@anotherdayanotheranimation]

Wait, you can make linea ans squares in an etch-a-sketch?! I can only make dots!

[@tk20channel]

This was the most calming performance I've ever seen on this show. It's like a cross between magic and meditation. It's the calming of her plot, voice, and narration. Just wonderful. And how the heck are you so poised with Penn & Teller sitting there? Really well done and I wish you the best.

[@stevejohnson2627]

Agreed. I wonder if ASMR magic is a sub-genre yet.

[@Hdtjdjbszh]

what I love about this show is that "losing" isn't really losing, it's being told how great the trick was Because they figured it out. Even when then figure it out they still apprieciate how great the tricks are.

[@christophalexander4542]

Indeed - even if they "lose" - they were already CHOSEN to be there. And we know this show isn't a cheap freak-show where they intentionally show inepts. Just being there means you have a good trick, or obvious potential.

[@KucheKlizma]

Yeah you can only go up from there I'd imagine.

[@salia2897]

Yeah, I really love that too. It is not like these talent shows, where they need losers that are humiliated by some "judges". All the people selected are good enough to do magic professionally, and even if they don't manage to fool them, they are treated very kindly and get some publicity out of that and the audience appreciates the performance. After I've watched a few of these, I already know that someone did not fool them, when Penn starts in a really kind tone and explains what he liked about the trick and the presentation. So nobody leaves there with their dreams destroyed.

I know, I don't have a daughter yet but if my turned out like that I'd be thrilled.

[@IAmBael]

You can just tell the whole way through how much Penn & Teller love her, like they're just ready to adopt her. It really shows how much it warms their hearts to see new, young magicians add new things to the art.

[@cravingminds8434]

I just love how she delivered the performance. So calm and so professional.

[@himmelsdemon]

It almost sounded like she was doing a guided meditation on them.

[@kittenmagician7416]

Your presenting style definitely lends itself to abstract thought and mentalist magic. Very relaxing and different than what you usually see on the show. Very cute and cool trick

[@shinfaux7717]

I think I just found one of my new favorite magicians. I am almost 19 and I started magic last year. This act is super fun and inspiring, thank you!

[@yourgrandmashouse1970]

Good luck with your work

[@TylerTwombly]

This is a super cool magic act and it’s even cooler that it is all her original invention. Can’t wait to see what else she comes up with!

[@ZekePolarisBSH]

Not her original invention, someone did this in 1999 known as "Etch a Mental" and before that in August 1996 as "Menta-Sketch"

[@LachimusPrime]

Just because someone came up with it before doesn't mean she didn't come up with it herself. It used to happen in science all the time, pre-Internet. It's harder now that we have access to info across the globe but I'm betting in her junior year at high school when she invented her trick she'd never seen Menta-sketch.

[@iami3rian394]

It's been forever since I've seen those tricks, but unless I'm very wrong they're pretty much exactly the opposite of this.

[@macdaddy9344]

I don’t care if you fooled them or not. Lovely presentation and hoping to see more of your magic in the future!!!

Great work, I love the code that Penn uses to allude to the tricks secrets. Awesome trick and I hope you keep on performing and expanding your skills.

[@ZekePolarisBSH]

It was the first code I understood from him. His code is kinda hard to decode even for tricks I know how are done.

[@magicjoeblack5761]

go live that creative magical life, it's the only way to fly.

[@kwilson5832]

I've watched so many of these now and I love the way that Penn's code is so encouraging to the magicians. He's not patronising or condescending and he doesn't spoil the tricks for those people who don't know how it was done. When the magicians realise that they haven't fooled Penn and Teller, they're not disheartened, but seem really appreciative of the opportunity they've been given. The fact that the magicians are allowed to upload the videos on their own youtube channels speaks volumes. I understood Penn's code in this video - how the cards were forced, how the telephone was drawn really quickly (too quickly for Abby to have actually drawn it while they were watching), but it was a really delightful performance and I hope that Abby continues to develop her magic skills.

[@williamkelly198]

You did a magic trick with an Etch-a-Sketch... That's amazing!!!

[@AwesomeMetalBands]

Abby this is one of my favourite performances, you have pioneered a new genre of magic. Instead of using a magician's blackboard you have used an etch-a-sketch which I have never seen done before.

[@ZekePolarisBSH]

Someone did this in 1999 known as "Etch a Mental" and before that in August 1996 as "Menta-Sketch".

[@AwesomeMetalBands]

@@ZekePolarisBSH thank you very much for your expertise and reply

[@ZekePolarisBSH]

@@AwesomeMetalBands I still liked the video though, because it is magic

[@AdeBamforth]

So thought I had this busted until the wagon appeared; what so great is you can see just the impression of the first image all along, which just confirms it really is a working Etch-a-Sketch!

[@markchinguz4401]

@Lassi Kinnunen 81 it was a force for sure

[@markchinguz4401]

The forced cards were done smart. The bottom of thr telephone is the wagon

[@SgtJoeSmith]

@@markchinguz4401 yes that's why Penn made comment. And like guy above said.... Electric stepper motors inside. Button on side or rfid. The phone was drawn but not from her turning knobs. Hit different button or something to draw wagon while shaking or after setting it down. The cards shown were forced and not cards they picked. That's for sure. I may be over thinking rest. Maybe she legit drew phone and some other way of making pre drawn wagon reappear. The pen and teller picture was amazing. Good performancr

[@markchinguz4401]

@@SgtJoeSmith I think she drew the phone to be honest. If it's a force she can practice drawing the phone quickly

[@SgtJoeSmith]

@@markchinguz4401 yeah that what I been thinking. I watched etch a sketch disassembly video today. Penn said she actually drew it herself and she said yes. Some people can draw nice pictures fast from years practice. I don't think anything electronic like some think. Penn would 've heard stepper motors. I'm stuck inn the wagon. Though shape and position has something to do. It couldn't be drawn until it was held upright. Or tell she stopped shaking. Though she shook unusually long time. But that could be attempt to through them off. Maybe a string same color as aluminum dust stuck to back of screen that she pulled off fast when picking it up to reveal wagon. Cause pen and teller image. Was also above where wagon was. Like the bottom was rigged so she couldn't draw below certain point. Gray string would blend with the dust.

[@glennewell8108]

Hey Abby my name is Glenn and I live in Tennessee, and I saw your routine on Penn and Teller. They may have figured it out, but I sure the heck couldn't figure out how you did it. But I want you to know just as Penn said, you're so humble, and that's what makes you very unique. Keep holding on to your dream of being on stage and performing, because I think you have what it takes to become greater. I wish you the best of luck dear And before I forget, I decided to follow you on KZbin, just because of your humbleness. You inspired me

[@wictimovgovonca320]

Very nice performance with some original creative work. My favorite part is that as far as I can tell, she never told a lie. We certainly drew our own false conclusions, but she didn't tell us something false. For example, she never said this is the toy/card you picked, just to remember "this" toy. If we drew the false conclusion we picked it, that is on us.
