I like that the show lets each magician post their appearance to their own channel

[@loganthesaint]

jamesthemaniac yeah that must mean a lot to them. I think penn and teller are probably some of the greatest men out there. They have their passion and they love others peoples passions.

[@celestus87]

It's not like Teller has taken a vow of silence. Teller speaks all the time. He just doesn't speak when he is in character.

[@stvbrsn]

I imagine that’d be pretty dumb. There are ads right here on KZbin that feature him talking.

[@ChaimS]

You can just KZbin that, or attend a live show. After the show you can speak with Teller yourself.

[@shaunholt]

This'll be a bit random, but I've seen Penn & Teller's Vegas show twice, and every time after the show they take pics and sign autographs for everyone who came. Only performers in Vegas who I've seen take the time to do that for their fans. The last time, just as Covid was starting up, I noticed Teller sat for it, the first time he stood. So I think he was dealing with a lot of pain or discomfort, and still he did the show and meet & greet for everyone. So major respect for those two, especially Teller dealing with likely pain. And FYI, yes Teller speaks! I was shocked after the show how he greets everyone and talks with them. Not only get to meet him 2x and get autographs and pics, got to hear his voice as well. So anyway, am really fond of them. Class acts.

That is for the off-stage judges to listen in during the time he and Penn are discussing the trick. The judges know the trick and decide if there is a fool, so the performer can't cheat by bluffing.

It is one thing to get fooled on person, but to get fooled by a video that you can rewatch 100 times is incredible

[@kellywilliam3708]

I absolutely love /love/ love the concept of tying magic with helping patients with mental illness, especially depression, by showing them what they think they see, or what they think is real, isn't everything, isn't the whole picture, isn't static. That is such a beautiful analogy to me, esp as someone who has been to therapy for depression n such

[@jacobisaacmiller8056]

That's probably actually something to be really fucking careful with. Playing with mentally unstable and schizo people's sense of trust and stability during their recoveries and trials, as a "professional" who they are either seeking help from or in his case actually locked in with, simply because you want to be a magician and can't take your job seriously is unfathomable to me. I'm not saying there's no time for fun and if seeing a magic trick solves your mental illness, great, just remember that in a locked psychiatric unit like he mentioned many people probably do not care about a magic trick so I'd really leave it to the patient and even then they might react or internalize it poorly. It's selfish and immature is what it actually is, but given that our entire psychiatric care system is as heinously fucked as our legal and prison system, at least in USA, which is incredibly fucked btw as its run by nitwits at best and childish sadists and crooks on average, you're all fucked and I just hope I'm wrong and there really is a Hell for y'all. Take care.

[@jacobisaacmiller8056]

The last thing an unstable person doubting reality in a locked unit needs is some asshat who pretends he has a clever lesson about reality. Fuck off, who are you lying to? That's not a valuable lesson for anything beyond the most average form of depression or anxiety. Profound? Give me a fucking break. It was a dumb pretentious thing to say, that appeals to dumb pretentious people like you who want to comment how beautiful you think it is. I personally don't see the true value. It's fun when you don't attach some bullshit miracle to it.

[@daniel4647]

[@ZachsMind]

This wasn't about fooling Penn and Teller. It was about getting himself out there and letting people know about his efforts and his goals. And I'm okay with that. It's an honor to get on a show like this where millions of people will see you, and maybe a few of those people will remember the name and need what a psychologist who also happens to be a magician can provide to whatever that other person has going on in their life. Perhaps there's profit there, if nothing more than new life experiences and new journeys upon which to embark and explore. Also, for a modern day suburban world, who doesn't love office supplies? They're practically universal.

[@TylerTwombly]

Thanks for your comment. I gotta say, both times I went on P&T were not really about fooling them. It was about trying to have fun and make something interesting. I'll also say that as a therapist in private practice, you hardly need to advertise at all because (unfortunately) the need is so great for psychological services. I am almost ALWAYS at capacity in my practice and this is true for every therapist I know and most of them have never been on Penn & Teller :)

[@edsumnermagic]

Way to go Tyler! Great performance of a great trick. As Penn said, it's so great, it's not a card / coin trick, but uses just an everyday item.

[@edsumnermagic]

Playing cards are recognisable, but they are definitely not an everyday item (except for magicians and card players). My point however was that every magician does card and coin tricks, it's good to see some variety.

[@g0t2]

This is one that is less than interesting to magicians but excellent to spectators. To fool magicians is just a different (not necessarily superior) and often what intrigues magician doesn’t really interest laymen (i.e. that move was cool!). The detection of sleight no matter how difficult the move is what ruins it to laymen.. even if it took years to harness but if perceivable to laymen the magic is gone. Of which if the move is very difficult would impress magicians. So difficulty in sleights matter little to audience they just want a pure clean routine and are objective whether the move is hard or not. Magicians can respect difficult sleights but often lose the ability to see it from a laymen’s point of view which is an under appreciated fact. Great job Tyler i liked it.

[@tamiflu470]

i can't even remember the last time i used sticky notes(perhaps over 12-15 years ago) but i use coins almost everyday and cards quite often(if not everyday). and honestly i don't know one person who uses those sticky notes even once a month. i have degree in computers, i'm mentioning this because the most common place where those notes are found are the computer screens

Enkel Bega i agree. This one is a trick for the person. I don’t think it appeals for parlor magic but to the person or spectator it must be a personal experience. It uses a classic principle that those in the know would recognize.

[@Kaitri]

[@dennisstark9764]

Just beautiful, good emotions👍

[@MatyuHUN]

At 05:08 he writes Tellers dream in the corner, doesn't even try to hide it. Then be covers The Edge with his thumb (which is where he put the dream). Then he writes it again on something with the same color as the notes, a cut piece of another note or something transparent, idk. That he can move around and sticks to the note. Before the last move he simply removes the moveable piece of note/transparent paper one, and reveals the mark under his thumb that he originally made. That one is just regular marker on the note, nothing special so now the note is safe for inspection and is gifted to Teller.

[@dustinpdx]

Yeah I caught that as well, when he flips it over he switches which corner he is showing. What I didn’t catch is when he wrote the other copy that he moves around.

[@Netaction]

@@dustinpdx He wrote the circle on the real paper, showing Teller what he did. Then added the G but pretending to just look at the circle. After flipping the note, he hid the G and showed a movable circle that has been on the note all the time. The patch has the exact same size as the circle so the borders are not visible. He added another G, this time in front of Teller's eyes.

[@Allen-L-Canada]

yes, the two letters (G?) are different too.

[@darcsystems]

Cool to see some local talent on this show. Nice work

[@AHHHHHHHHHHHHl]

4:45 _silently judging you_

[@Jackgunned]

At 5:18, he writes at the top right corner of the note. When he inverts it, the writing should be at the bottom left. But he continues to show the top right where a circle was already in place. All he needed to do was write the C while covering the bottom left with his thumb. One can confirm this by closely looking at the difference between the original letter and what he shows at the end. Easier to see these subtle moves on KZbin at half the speed, but almost impossible to catch these moves live. Of course not hard for Penn and Teller. Well done by Tyler..🙏🙏

Hey tyler, from someone with cptsd, thank you for all you do.

[@aniketkhosa697]

I think I get the trick , when calls teller and write on the note. He didn’t actually write on the note but on a piece of paper that can slide on the note and is of same colour. That is how he is able to slide the written part. And he is hiding the actual writing with his fingers. In the end he removes the sliding paper and gives the note to Teller with the actual writing which he was hiding with his finger. Not sure but I think this how he is doing .

@@xorbe2 I think the first he already had the arrow +A written, then when allison said S he wrote the S aswell and covered it up with another piece of the note ( the sticky part).
