So i took my deck of cards (which I haven't touched for years) and three of clubs was laying on the top naturally. These guys are incredible.

[@personandotherperson7696]

The long game

[@mediocrefunkybeat]

I remember my 60-something neighbour trying this trick with me when I was five years old. I had never worked out where the reveal video came from. 27 years later, I finally know. Amazing. Rest in Peace, Brian.

[@TheAlfsterino]

The cigarette routine is the one that got Ryan Hayashi into magic when he was a kid...

[@theawesomeMikeMike09]

Ah, so you've fallen down this rabbit hole as well.

[@codrax829]

@@theawesomeMikeMike09 yeah me too

[@magic-fetus1242]

It got me into smoking.. darn it

[@doaa7941]

Was it this one or the other one he watched?

[@taylorgreen9929]

And yes, really make sure that your victim remembers the card. I have had a couple tricks fail because my younger sister didn't remember the card she had pulled not three seconds earlier.

[@REVOLUTIONS51]

Too classic ahahah. If it's your younger sister it's fine though. When it's someone on stage it's like going through all of hell in 5 minutes ahahah

[@FlareDarkStormGem]

Happens too often to me with engineering students at college

[@seraphinaaizen6278]

That outro was the most 80s thing I've ever seen.

[@Mohawks_and_Tomahawks]

Penn wearing those bangs better than most 80's gals did

[@sketchur]

The end credits theme is by Jefferson Starship, by the way. ✌️

[@KM-jb3vg]

I never stop smiling while watching Penn and Teller

[@Kix-86]

That outro is so dang cool. And now look at where they are.

[@vjara94]

Is great to see how this routine has evolved

[@coax47]

We are relatively unknown... Went on to become one of the greatest magic duos in all of history...

[@yaosio]

They updated the card trick for the Internets, and to allow the deck to be shuffled. Instead of starting off with the 3 of clubs at the top of the deck you start with it hidden under an envelope. You tell them to shuffle it and do whatever they want to the deck since you have the card you'll force. Once they are done you bring out the envelope with the card and tell them to sign the envelope, have them look away for a pen and put the envelop with the card under it on top of the deck. When they turn back you take the envelope and have them sign it, and then put the top card (which is the card you just placed there) in the envelope without looking at it. Then you go to Penn & Teller's grave, which has the 3 of clubs on it, and tell them to take the envelope out and look at the card.

Of course Penn is an extremely outspoken atheist whose mother died in 2000, 15 years after this aired.

[@anthonybell5666]

They're atheists so bibles don't matter to them

[@THEMUDBUSTERS4]

He did say “in this special”. It was technically after the special. I think that was the joke or how I took it at least. Love these guys

[@JLawL]

Never believe anything a magician tells you.

[@THEMUDBUSTERS4]

Another way you could interpret it. This definitely sounds like them.

[@Allik27]

4:10 I learned this trick and wanted to perform it at a party of a friend. I put effort into making the video and everything, even slightly upgraded the trick with a false shuffle and bridge, so it really looks like the deck is mixed and I have no control of the position of the cards whatsoever. And then, at the very beginning, my friend's friend who I showed the trick to said "If it's really not in your control give me the deck and let ME mix it." She screwed it all up, not respecting the rule to watch the trick first, she tried to debunk it right away. Somebody give me a virtual hug please.

[@georgerendell7292]

Now that's bad victimship *hugs*

[@vesteban8331]

If someday anyone do that to you again I recommend you show all the cards "say, all the cards are different and you mix it", while do that look for your card, cut the deck and go ahead with your trick. Anyway, I give you my virtual hug :(

[@mackwackenstein]

The outro fills me with so much inexplicable joy it's borderline manic.

[@TacTwo]

They look so young!

[@_Fuscous]

I don't know about Teller...

[@mttqie]

Back then when you can't download things

[@KSE828]

That “French drop” was smoother than the finest whisky you’ve ever tasted.

[@villacando]

This is pure gold, man

[@twig8523]

Oh, that opening on the fundamentals of sleight of hand, I felt, really came together a little later on when they concluded with a slow bebop using the terms while Teller repeated the demonstration.

[@jsngallery]

took me a minute to realize penn was the news guy

[@JJSmith-zp3oh]

You cant help but love the credit roll.

[@daphne-blue]

Teller's a badass

[@jpjp9111]

I've done a hybrid of this forced card trick. I hid an identical card in a place in a friend's home. I later did a trick to my friend at my home. I failed miserably of course. Oh well.... Later when talking to my friend i asked about something relevant to where the card was hidden. They found it hidden within their stuff.

[@brandonanthonyk]

This act is brilliant. Fucking brilliant!

[@tobyflenderson892]

It does not matter the year this trick was preformed it has always been truly impeccable

I love the VHS era...

Amazing .they always had it ! ☺

[@pauls2613]

Insane geniuses

[@DrinkyMcBeer]

I'm still trying to figure out how they switched their heads at the end. True masters of their craft.

You can clearly see the edit in the video. Just look at their shoulders.

I wonder for how long has he had that nail painted for

yess

[@PapaZoltan]

I better set my cassette to record hold up lemme pause

[@chaytonaldridge3388]

penn and teller love the 3 clubs

[@dariuskikstra3994]

I enjoy the dated tech, reminds me of when I was a Kid

[@criticalmass613]

Teller is a stone cold killer

[@AdithyaShakthiKumar]

always the three of clubs

[@dethstark]

It's nice to see that Penn purchased more expensive wigs sense then.

[@nameless5413]

problem is that the cassette players are quite loud anyone would hear it.

[@yaosio]

They updated it for the Internets. Search for their grave on google.

[@nameless5413]

@@yaosio its not hard to update it, i am merely thinking back to glory days of VCR back when technology was quirky fun, made alot of strange noises. One could feasibly feel like mad scientist if they had all the gizmos and tools to play cassettes, video cassettes, records, diskettes and data carrying cassettes for their 8-bit. Just listen to 90s PC (with PC speaker) start up! i love that.

[@Harry351ify]

@@nameless5413 as if anybody would buy that video as legitimate news broadcast anyway. I'd know there's something wrong the moment that scene comes on TV.

[@michaelanastasio3375]

Just used giant card trick on my family, hehe

[@annshep4694]

No one will believe me, but I swear on that stack of Bibles and on my own life that I did this trick for my mom and the three of clubs was on the top of the deck. SHE even shuffled it. We don’t know how to do magic and that’s the first trick I’ve ever done. I picked up the card towards her and asked her if it was her card. She said yes in a sort of impressed way (I thought she was mocking me), so I turned the card around and I swear to you I thought I was looking straight at the face of a demon. Moral of the story, that will NEVER happen again ever in my life but I’m so glad it did. Also moral of the story, if you sit around doing nothing but watching Penn and Teller for six hours instead of doing whatever it is you should be doing, you might get haunted by the three of clubs.

[@TV-mm8re]

Straight slaps at the end

You can take a seat now ...

[@davidhollyfield9712]

I wonder how old they are in this

[@Reagan1984]

Penn is probably 29 and Teller is probably 36 here

[@doganduman1178]

where can i get this video tape or cd to learn tricks ? help me please!

[@leanonymous486]

What? I don't have to call in and order the scene?

90% od the time spectator pics 3 of clubs lmao

[@tobyflenderson892]

I wonder if they actually smoke or if it’s only for the trick

[@amirulianh4890]

Its the 80s...everybodys smokes...

[@NEpatriots88]

Why are you the way that you are? Every time Penn and Teller try to make something fun or exciting you make it...not...that way. I hate so much about the ways you choose to be.

10:14 💀

[@TenemenTTrash]

Ok but whats the point of the cigarette trick, its always seemed pointless too me

[@andrewcharles459]

It's one of the "tricks" they developed to reveal and show people how they do their tricks. They only ever reveal their own tricks, never another magician's.

[@ericdanielski4802]

First.

[@davidhollyfield9712]

Crazy to see teller has always stayed quite and idk why they keep adding the fake laughing it doesn't fit... Stop that

[@nicholastedesco2905]

this was filmed in front of an audience, those laughs aren't fake :)

Any one tell me what is the singers name I rally like her voice I wanna record a song with her If any family members friends reading this then can you let her know to contact me by email me or replying back her info I will contact her please❤
