The smile she had right when he coded it to her is priceless

[@colors6692]

"coded", he was being extra obvious like Ekaterina was in her performance!!

[@MartinMenge]

@@colors6692 she corrected him but conceded on principle. Good comeback.

[@crehenge2386]

Beautiful performance! Few perfomers can take such a simple idea and make it into such a great experience. I'm a magician too, but you fooled me with the fairness of the thought of object. Loved it! I know that women have to work twice as hard for half the recogintion in this field, and I'm glad to see such a strong force changing it. You're in my top ten list of all living magicians today!

[@colors6692]

"the fairness of the thought of object" What does that mean?

[@gerardmonsen1267]

@@colors6692 I think he was saying he was impressed about the fact that she gave Allison a free choice of what object to think of instead of limiting the choices to a small number of possibilities.

I watched this on tv yesterday with my mom, and out of nowwhere i yelled OMG its EKATARINA! And my mom was so confused on why i was so excited and i told her i watch her on youtube xd

[@wilsonsamuel2469]

Had to come and watch this, after she said on her live show on 1/1/2024 that this was the most difficult presentation / trick she has ever performed so far! Thank you. @Ekaterina

[@bernardmolan2976]

Ekaterina Dobrokhotova is my favourite magic tutor on the internet and one of my favourite magicians on the internet. Why? One simple reason: Because she doesn't have an ego. And frankly, that's extremely refreshing. She is just her self and she has a warm and engaging personality and she speaks softly, in a friendly manner. She isn't a loudmouth.

[@ekatmagic]

Please be nice in the comments ☺️ I still have some explaining to do... join me on a live YT stream Sunday 2PM EST

[@kaymansex]

Ekaterina congrats Ekat I loved your whole presentation cause it has so much feeling

[@robertherzog9294]

I don't see anything to explain... I have a vague idea how it was done, but it was done with class and great presentation and a great story. Its hard to fool those guys, they know it all and have seen it all. The only way to really fool them is to something they've never seen. Great job Ekat, you should be proud of that performance!

[@ernie_m9982]

I have been waiting all summer to watch you on pen and teller on tv. But the one day i choose to study and miss it i miss out on you.:( lol. But it was a beautiful performance. But this inspires me to keep working on my magic so I can one did perform to a big audience as big as this or even bigger! thanks for the magic ekat

[@Angshana]

Your signature inside card would have 100% fooled them ≧▽≦y

[@patrickcarter8762]

I looove this video it's really my favorite video on this channel

[@BronzDano]

Wow I’m so happy to see Ekaterina on Fool Us, I’ve been subscribed to her channel for a couple years now and it’s awesome to see her grow as a performer and as a person. Congratulations on this next big step! ❤️

I think it's high time to see Chris Ramsey on fool us

[@onemorerep6597]

MD S he said he won’t go on the show due to he fact he needs a work visa to do it and that’s about 7,000 bucks

Gotta echo what Penn said: Absolutely loved your use of art in your act. And big big bonus points for using Bansky!

[@eddiep1063]

You did a great performance....I got so excited last night when I saw you were gonna be on there!

[@mercedeswilkins9085]

What a blessing

[@thehitech8890]

Lets learn... ❤️

[@robertwiegand9927]

I am discovering you late in the game obviously but excellent performance. I was fooled and entertained at the same time. Great job! I have been watching your videos to learn cardistry and have learned so much from you in the past couple of weeks. So thank you for the great content. You are easily one of my new favorite magicians.

[@ekatmagic]

appreciate it Robert, thank you!

[@Danny-le8by]

Great performance, and love the outfit! It feels so cool to watch someone I’ve been watching on KZbin go on stage (: Congratulations!

[@totally_not_a_bot]

This is one of those few acts that can be described as art. Thank you for sharing it ❤

[@Adam1984_]

Rewatching this after all this time because you mentioned it in your latest review. Of course I've known from the beginning how you did it, but that doesn't ruin anything for me. This was still a great performance. As much as I enjoy your reviews, it was the performance videos that you used to do that made me fall in love with your channel. Your charisma whenever you perform is always great to see.

[@TomSwervo1]

How you pulled this off is really secondary to your forging a great connection with the crowd. Magic is about more than just being fooled--hell, I still think the old classics are fun, even though I know how they're done. And yeah, you fooled me lol. There's obviously something hidden in the balloon, and maybe something about the "spray can," but I have no idea how the image on the card thing worked.

[@Ericmatcha]

Couldn't ask for a better performance! Thanks for this Ekat! :)

[@junjis4725]

That was Brilliant!!!!!! 👌😱

Great performance Ekaterina, full of emotion and enthusiasm ! Keep it up!

[@BartekHCOL]

You were Great. Pen and Teller are pro... so they know all most all of the magic stuff. I've been watching U for over than year and I think that You are great magician. I like your flourishes to. Trick is Good. Very Good. I admire you for your being yourself on the stage. Be magical.

[@ekatmagic]

thank you :)

[@wolfgangbuck841]

Absolutely Love Ekat's perfornances. She's Boss!

[@miss_magicunknownxx6143]

Great performance and you are my idol I watched you on a UK show not long ago and you really made me think that most people just see female magicians as the magicians assistant (you know the lady who gets chopped in half kind of thing) but you made me realise female magicians can use the same methods and routines as male magicians and create just as beautiful performances if not better sometimes, I'm so done with all the stereotyping and the way people look down on female magicians and don't give them the credit they deserve!!! You are a brilliant example to young aspiring female magicians like myself...LOTS OF LOVE EKAT!!! Keep it up☺️😬👍👌❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ekatmagic]

thanks for the love :)

[@miranda8423]

You demonstrated the revolution cut superbly! You're right, the moves were at it's simplest form, and for that, thank you, kindly.

[@katonhurt]

So lovely trick! I like so much when magic comes with a story, not just an effect.

[@smneildas657]

Wowww!!! Was waiting for you to be on fool us. And the billet switch was amazing 👌🏽😉

[@mohamedhayder7035]

it was great to see you on the show and your act amazing

[@happykinggamer]

Wow! I think magic it's about creating feelings. You take a memory and make it real again, so beauty. Congrats and cheers from Mexico!

[@marcuspi999]

Question for anyone who knows how it's done. I know a lot of the sleight of hand techniques and am pretty good at spotting them or at least understanding how it may be done, but here, my question is this: if Allyson would have said that her meaningful memory involved her pet aardvark or her copy of Catcher in the Rye, could the magician still pull off the trick? Or does this trick rely on common answers? I'd think that it would be dangerous to rely on typical answers.

[@RyanCarlosCleary]

Well done E done a great performance!

So happy to see your finally on P+T. Keep it up! Subbed

[@mikeianneo3432]

I loved your piece. I’ve always been a fan of your KZbin work so it was nice to see your originality on television. I especially liked your use of balloons with magic. I’m a balloon artist so it was very nice to see. Orange you glad you used real history with pop art! I’ve never seen that used in a magic trick the way you used it. Bravo!

[@voltaquake]

I don't get how this works. Did she have bicycle prepared somewhere? What happens if they choose something obscure? Like a hamster wheel?

[@almightyethrion]

Went here after watching the "console" video

[@natzirt]

That's right

[@chris_stacey]

Excellent! I can't even begin to imagine the pressure you're under performing - not only for a studio audience, but for one of the most accomplished magicians in the world (and also Penn Jillette!). I'm guessing there's a whole index of ways you could do the trick, perhaps resorting to an attempt at just nailing it otherwise... although maybe not. Regardless, really good! :-)

[@djmixah387]

HOLY CRAP I THOUGHT OF A BIKE AS WELL - GREAT JOB!

Fantastic performance Ekaterina! I was expecting the 'Word' to be written on the prediction, and was delightfully surprised to see the 'Picture' instead Look into how Derren Brown does his version on his Infamous or Miracle stage show..........super clean

That was really good and it was fun. I love seeing you perform here and Wizard Wars

[@youssofmrad6399]

You are always perfect and giving me real hope ♡♡

[@deejay6869]

I'll accept that. But then I'm gonna hold on to the "illusion" that u did. Keep the magic alive for all of those of us who love to see it happen. You're the best.

[@nihadalabed7411]

You were great Ekaterina, maybe u did not fool penn and teller but just hear the people scream, i did love the show.

[@merkazoidduff7651]

Awesome! Congratulations!

[@EngeltheFallen]

Wow, amazing to see you on the show. What a great routine. That was the best presentation of that trick I seen easily. Loved the visuals. I am sure a lot of people will be hunting you down after that.

[@funkybrother1979]

This was a great performance. I have been a fan of Ekaterina for some time now and have much respect for her. I am quite appalled with the negative comments here and even more so with this pattern of breaking apart the magic methods from performances and ruining it for everyone else. I guarantee if you pull up any performance from Fool Us, you will quickly see multiple comments attempting to reveal (and not always correct) the secrets. Anyone who makes a public post breaking down an effect or making negative comments on a performance has no understanding what the definition of what magic truly is. Like Ekaterina mentioned, the magic is the feeling you give someone...it is in a person's eyes, heart and mind. If you tear apart a flower, you may learn something about its creation but then destroy the beauty you once possessed, leaving you with nothing.

[@ekatmagic]

well said :)

[@davidchristober6358]

Wowww cool! Just now i saw ur performance in television on comedy central.. it was awesome... congratulations

[@NicholsFamilyAffair]

Very classy! Congrats on a great show and memorable experience for you!

[@MasterBrainwash]

I saw the performance on the show itself, which I watch regularly. I enjoyed the performance and thought the comments at the end were favorable to you. Not sure that I understand the comments of Mr. Davies, although by the displayed icon, I guess you agree with it? I really thought their comments were complimentary to you and appreciative, although maybe there was something you detected that I didn't. Although, just hearing them again here, as I was writing this, everything said, aside from them indicating that they knew how you did it , seemed to praise you - or did you feel that they didn't know by what they said?

[@frost9681]

If you know how its done, which is quite obvious if you know what you're looking for, its obvious that Penn & Teller would know. Decently performed, but simple and obvious trick. Penn also states how the trick was done quite obviously in his 'code'.

[@jwd3003]

Superb performance Ekaterina, as always.

[@spinehong]

I like your magic review. You are the best magician!

[@aidanlam5336]

Although I know how the trick was done, this is by far my favourite act on Fool Us. The presentation was flawless and super engaging. Usually the story about objects having meaning is fake and cringy, but this was authentic and wonderfully incorporated into the act. If you ever come to Sydney, I'd love to go see you perform. Fundamentally magic is about entertaining, and you did that 110%

[@adilmounir1533]
