Penn & Teller Fool Us | Nathan Coe Marsh | 1080p | Fooled?

[@carpetlick5243]

Guys it's very simple how it's done, first you put it in the box and then pray furiously that the golf ball magically appear in there being there's about a 1 in infinity chance it will. Nathan just got lucky.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Carp Etlick first one to nail it .

[@somanken]

that's the solution to every magic trick, what you dont see is the thousands and thousand of magicians who haven't sold their soul for that incredible luck.

[@Pythagoras_was_right]

@@somanken No, its just algorithms. KZbin only shows the successes. There are thousands of videos of Nathan's prayer not getting answered, but each one only has a couple of views, so they algorithmically disappear without trace.

[@markothevrba]

I like how Penn can tell him how he did the trick without anyone else finding out. They got like a secret magician language.

[@benjamin.tranbt]

This is my favorite part of the show !

[@secnep]

Benjamin Tran yes I wish there was a compilation of their explanations to the magicians

[@Cardistian]

Penn certainly has some extremely difficult professional talents & skills but he also really has a unique skill of his vocabularies he uses when communicating directly w/the magician he & Teller are trying to bust the secrets

[@GopzU_Anton]

Props to you, answering all these comments so kindly really deserves some respect. Thanks for the entertainment and you just got 1 sub more. Great act as performer!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks, GopzU -- appreciate the kind words!

[@mookateer]

only one explanation, he pulls his power from the dark dimension

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Shhhhhh....

[@NonsensicalSpudz]

Dormamumu i've come to bargain

[@iLampy]

[@sgtoz]

I have come back and watched this numerous times over the years. It's great every time. Very well done.

[@XxCrazyKBxX]

I’m not a magician but watched a lot of penn and teller. I really enjoyed the code share in this one. Especially because some episodes people seem to sneak by in minor technicalities at times. They really worked to try to get the answer, and you replied “there’s a secret to that” but that they got it.

[@tbonenom3736]

Note to self: Never play golf with Nathan Coe Marsh. His ball would just appear in the hole...

[@jellopuddington]

One of the better tricks and performances I've seen on this show, great showmanship. I'm no Penn and Teller, but I couldn't figure out how you did it. Well done.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks for the kind words, Jello -- glad you enjoyed and hope you're having a great week.

[@PrinceThor]

Jello Puddington You do an amazing job. Keep it up

[@ArneWidding]

Great use of a classic!

[@khalidmkhan]

Great show! If I may be so bold to say, you didn't put the glass jar into the box and you used the 'force', to get the card into her hands. I'll leave out the how. Loved your presentation. Well done!

[@RapidVidsProductions]

thank you so much for not spoiling the result in the title

[@finalfantasymad]

Ahhhh I spotted it on second watch after Penns comments. Masterfully performed. Won't give this one away.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Shaun Reynolds Thanks Shaun -- enjoy your weekend

[@johnrupesh4535]

What a trick. Absolutely loved it. You can't make anything appear more magical than that.

[@blakewilliams8148]

maybe he actually just has a magic Jar that can make anything and he chose to use it for magic tricks, went on fool us then realized he shouldn't let the world know about his jar so he said they figured it out.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Shhhh....

[@ApolloStarfall]

I knew both of the main illusions, but they were executed so flawlessly, integrated perfectly, and covered so nicely that it was still incredibly enjoyable. Great job

[@chenrongphang8984]

such a gentleman who responded with respect to their guess and did not argue with Penn and Teller despite having a secret to the golf ball in the jar.

[@MagicDuel]

Great job Nathan! So proud of you - so much of you in there, so magical, so likeable! Great job and this appearance is a great launching pad! Bravo!

I loved this. You just come across as so smooth, confidant and in control. It was seamless.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Ryan Boyd so appreciated, Ryan -- glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheJovan211]

I always wondered how these kind of tricks were done (putting an object at an impossible location) and I still do... Amazing performance!

[@TheSleightDoctor]

I think I've got this one figured out, but it's a beautiful performance, Nathan, and you deserve a long and lucrative career for your flawless presentation and artistry. 👏

[@MahdiTheMagician]

Great performance! Anyone have an advertisement to rent American Pie? KZbin is hilarious!

[@The_Wailing_Doom]

Great stage present and a very impressive act. Nicely done!!

[@gabriel68009]

An great job and a great performance so much energy in one trick, congrats

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks, Gabriel -- enjoy your day!

[@Sidistic029]

That was a really well done trick all around. Even though it didn't fool them, you should really be proud of that performance. I wish you all the best

[@nickfelice3444]

I saw a trick similar to this when I was 8 years old; I was confused then, but now I'm absolutely baffled. Well done

[@mangwenigumede5574]

Im 3 years late but this was absolutely beautiful

[@xpndblhero5170]

That was actually really cool.... I'd love to have a golf ball in a jar for my golf ball collection. 😁

[@randmc2971]

The only thing I love more than your act, is the insight in your comments on this video. Bravo, Friend!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks so much!

[@timmack2415]

Bravo!! Very entertaining routine. 👏👏👏

[@ramdalal]

Greetings from Germany !! Not only was the trick great but your presentation and charm made it even more top notch and extremely likeable while being professional all along the way ! Das war Super !!!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+ramdalal How kind of you, Ramdalal

[@ErickTG]

awesome presentation, congrats

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Erick Graziani Much appreciated

[@Ianrahn12]

Wow what an amazing performance and trick! very entertained.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+John Arrington Thanks, John!

[@drewa3597]

great performer and trick

[@User_forbidden]

Pinn's maniacal laugh towards the end said it all.

[@devinthomas4866]

very nice performance P&T hard to fool Thanks fro the great video

[@thekenmorgan]

Hi Nathan! We had the pleasure of not only seeing you a few weeks ago in Old Town but participating in the show itself! Finally had the chance to look you up with Penn and Teller. Incredible performance! Equally amazing as your show in Kissimmee! Newly subscribed and looking forward to new videos! 👍😀 🎩🪄🐇

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@crispybanana3198]

i really liked the act, classic, with sharp sense of humor but also not trying too hard to be funny what made it feel so natural, great job

[@hungryy226]

That was very impressive, even the way you carried yourself was impressive!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thank you!

[@antonnym214]

That trick looked real to me, man. I know i'm just a layman, but wow. And you're FUNNY! Very nicely done.

[@invictuz4803]

Amazing effect, but even greater presentation! This feels like one off those great classics. I like the props too, they are so neat and satisfying to look at and listen to.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+InvictuZ that's so kind of you

[@ki-hunlee3132]

what a great performance

[@kevinducharme3988]

Amazing job Nathan! You were flawless with the trick, but well it's Penn and Teller. They kind of know a lot :) Going to be attending one of your shows soon for sure though. I live in the Orlando Area and I look forward to the next gig you do in this area.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Kevin, so glad you enjoyed and I look forward to seeing you at a show. Have a great weekend!

[@neelparmar6690]

You may not have fooled Penn and Teller, but you sure as hell would have fooled almost anyone but the best magicians and you should be proud of that. Well done.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Neel Parmar that's so kind of you, Neel

[@frankhurst9665]

Very funny and entertaining. I MIGHT know how you did it, but I could never reproduce it (I have no real talent in that area), but your act was brilliant. Thanks for the laughs.

[@oiurehj]

This is why i hate magic...because right now i really want to know how to do it.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+oiurehj this sounds hokey, but the truth is that the secret is never as interesting as the effect...I wish (and P&T themselves have said this is one of the reasons for their interest in creating this series) that I got to experience magic without knowing the secrets -- because it can be a FAR more interesting experience, and we magicians no longer get to feel that, and it is what got us into magic in the first place... Thanks for taking the time to comment

[@MiniDemonic]

There is some merit in knowing the secrets as well. Like P&T has shown in their own acts, you can reveal the secret to tricks without making the trick worse or less interesting. Their clear cups and balls and the liftoff act are good examples of this.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Sure -- but P&T will be the first to tell you that these are a very specific genre of trick, namely pieces where the secret is *more* entertaining than the trick itself. "Liftoff For Love" is a great example of this -- its an awful and uninteresting trick through the performance half, what gives it legs as a bit is the incredible entertainment value of watching Teller slide and spin around improbably to hit his marks. Those are rare pieces (and its the reason you won't see P&T exposing The Magic Bullet, or Shadows, as part of their show), far more often the secrets of the tricks are deflating and give you a "that was it?" feeling. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@MiniDemonic]

Sure, but I would still argue that knowing the secret is interesting for some people and does not break the magic. Take the Masked Magician(Val Valentino) as an example, he had a TV show where he exposed the secret of many tricks that shouldn't be exposed but watching that show made me more interested in magic and appreciate it more. I can see your line of thought tho, it might be hard for you as a magician to see a magic show from the angle of a non-magician because magic is your life, kinda. For us "mortals" that want to know the secrets but not practice them it's different. We can't look at a show from a magicians angle even if we know the secret, we will still get fooled and we will probably need to rewatch a trick multiple times just to catch things the magician do during a misdirection. I never get a "that was it?" feeling after I find out the secret of a trick even if the secret is really really simple. Heck, sometimes it just makes the whole trick better if the secret is something simple. I know that I'm not alone in thinking that knowing the secret adds to my appreciation of the trick but maybe people like me are a smaller minority than I think. With that said though, I'm not trying to persuade you to reveal the secret. Some, *read most*, magicians don't want to reveal their secrets and I respect that. It's just that, in my case, knowing the secret makes me appreciate it more. A magician once said "magic is 95% showmanship and 5% the effect or trick" and I agree with that, can't remember what magician said that tho. The secret to tricks shouldn't be revealed in the same act they are performed, but they shouldn't be guarded as corporate secrets either. Sure, some secrets could be kept so magicians can have their own original tricks.

[@guywithknife]

MiniDemonic I agree. If a trick turns out to be simple, I get a "oh wow that's so clever" feeling. Also, I appreciate the showmanship that goes into tricks, whether I know how it works or not. I've watched how to do quite a few tricks, especially card tricks, and I still don't see how a new trick is done when I see it even if it only uses techniques I already "know" (at least not without rewatching many times) and it totally does not detract from my enjoyment of the trick. But of course I understand why maciacians don't like to reveal their tricks :) Its only natural.

[@10IcePrince10]

your so great i need to watch 3 times to see the chiar and the pole , you are amazing ! 😉

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks!

[@PhilRaso]

Nice routine. Well done. I got chills.

[@GRAND4x4AutoAccessories]

What a great performance Nathan, really enjoyed your presentation.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks so much, Leonaidas

[@Burrell19]

Great misdirection with the ditch. The presentation of the whole performance was absolutely terrific.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Burrell19 Thanks!

[@kingbarriga]

Congratulations on you appearance on the show and even though you didn't fool P&T, something very few people achieve, you put on a great and entertaining show. I felt so dumb for not noticing the height of the pole, but then again it was your wonderful personality and banter that kept me completely distracted. I would love to see you perform live and would definitely write some weird stuff on the paper.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks so much, Kingbarriga

[@talk2evin]

on the eight day he said "let there be a golf ball"

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Evin Sebastian Ha!

[@talk2evin]

Nathan Coe Marsh awesome trick man! sure fooled me

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks!

[@csheye9164]

Awesome job Nathan. The next time I play golf and shank one into the woods, I won't go in there to look for it I'll just get the one in the jar. LOL

[@abrb1223]

Rabbit 17 "In emergency, break glass for extra balls"

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Ha! Love it Rabbit17. Enjoy your (almost) weekend

[@applejacks971]

Penn and Teller may have figured it out, but I'm baffled. Not to mention to get to the pole, he had to walk up hill, both ways lol! Love the 17-25' above the earth stuff :) Super awesome!!!

[@JustinSBarrett]

I think I figured it out. Very slickly done, sir!

[@dc4334]

What a beautiful presentation! This man has clearly done his homework. I would love to watch a full show presented by him.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

That is so kind of you, DC -- glad you enjoyed

[@FunBoysGaming]

Very well done, love this routine.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed!

[@TheBilli96]

It always amazes me how Penn explains the tricks at the end to the magicians in a way only the magicians (or people who know how to do the trick) could understand and no one else! Like did what he say make sense at all to you or is it only some key words he says that tells you he got it? Really awesome trick by the way!

[@Kazuya.Enjoyer]

Watched it last year only to come back very nice

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks!

[@jasonlapierre7316]

Allyson nails them at the end! "Gentlemen stop play with your balls" She never leaves the spirit of american pie!

[@DigitalViscosity]

I truly enjoyed your performance, I remember watching this episode with my Oma and she passed away this year. She thought you had p&t for sure.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

That’s beautiful, Torei. I’m so sorry for your loss, but really appreciate you sharing with me.

[@Fant]

It's so cool to see Nathan Fillion can do magic

[@dustinplatt775]

_I think you had an agreement with the Devil_ Ah a man of fine taste

[@goodguybibs4912]

P&T said it himself and he agreed to it. There is no way possible that is done without the work with the devil.

[@ML-mx3mm]

Great performance! Well done

[@charlienorman9146]

Very well Performed, good luck to your future endevours in magic!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thank you, Charlie

[@chrisclark6824]

Is it just me or did he tell Allison to step inside his office? 👀😂

[@mackfan]

I noticed the two key movements, but it was done incredibly well and natural. Good stuff!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+mackfan glad you enjoyed!

[@svendragonion6792]

Nice little Trick and you caught them cold. ;-)

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks, Sven

[@tamoghnachakraborty1303]

Mind blowing simply. I have been binge watching fool us continuously on KZbin. But this one was sure made me stop and re watch 10 times. Fabulous magic it is❤️

[@Z06guy81]

Very nice! Great trick! I was finally able to figure out how you did the trick due to Penn's comments. Don't worry though I won't say anything. Again, great trick and performance as well. Congrats!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Z06guy1226 Much appreciated!

[@lindseymckirdy1830]

Lovely trick well executed

[@miclagace]

Sir, you won me over by the end. Great performance!

[@adelinpopa8440]

I used to do card magic (as an amateur, of course) and I can say I have kind of a good eye, but this got me. I really love to not know how a trick is done, it is way more better. Great job!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Adelin Popa so glad you enjoyed -- appreciate you watching!

[@DeadlyDanDaMan]

Wow...I honestly have no clue how you did that. That is one of the better tricks I have ever seen :)

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

That's so kind of you

[@TheUnorthodoxGears]

Incredible! Great act :)

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks so much!

[@markotiikkaja2974]

I was thinking of a golf ball as well. That was the most incredible part of the trick.

[@levatikyn7785]

This effect is so clean and the concept is great! Well done! Definitely going to add it to my routine! 😂

[@ObsidianHoax]

I really wish everyone wrote down Centipede.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

You are not alone.

[@lewis541]

Alison, she was great on How I met your mother!

[@hunterscott8065]

Just barely caught that but it was incredible I was rather surprised to see you pull it off without a hiccup. Quite impressive

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks for taking the time to write, Hunter. So glad you enjoyed it.

[@londonnight937]

A very fine routine, I would absolutely love to see it live, in front of my eyes. Very well done sir!

[@stephenhosking7384]

Most of the "comedy" magicians on P&T barely get a chuckle from me, you were very funny! Great trick, and beautifully constructed to a surprise ending. I have no idea how it was done, and don't want to - I enjoyed the act too much.

[@shaney9293]

funny charmin guy :) great magic

[@InfestedChris]

I love this guy, hes hilarious. After watching a few times, I think I know how it works. Great work, had me fooled the first time.

[@scosco781]

This guy's entertainment level is 100%

[@mef12727]

Placing the box inside the box is a delicate process. Grabbing something from the same height does not need delicacy. In simple terms the pole height could have been the same.

[@DustinPlatt]

Hail Santa.

[@grayskindablue]

I have no idea if you’ll see this, but I was really stoked to read the behind-the-scenes you wrote, none of the four parts of the article work anymore though. Maybe that’s by choice which is very much your call! But if it’s still up somewhere, I for one would love to know more details. It was an excellent performance, fooled or not. You are genuinely quite funny, too. Comedy is often just a little awkward in magic routines but yours is solid, it feels like a very natural part of your personality. All the best!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Glad you enjoyed it! Working to make it available again (long story short, I had a new site designed and there have been some technical hiccups with keeping older content in the same address) Thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed it, and I’ll do my best to reply here again when the link works again.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

They’re back up: nathancoemarsh.com/penn-teller-fool-us-behind-scenes/

[@kilroy1964]

Ok, this had me stumped for a bit, but I've figured out both parts: The part where he needs a chair to get up but not down, and the part where the idea of a golf ball was chosen randomly from many different ideas from the crowd. Well done!

[@sickranchez2023]

Just watched this years later and I genuinely said to my wife "Golf Ball" ... How weird, I can only guess the seed was planted there. Great trick 👌👌👌

[@kydott]

Wonderful performance, I enjoyed how you put everything together to create a comedic but also interesting act. Really great even though P&T gave hints on how it was done I still have no idea how you did it, well done.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks so much!

[@DaddyHensei]

They didn’t figure it out. He just agreed with them to keep real magic a secret is all haha.

[@Teth47]

There's something about self-deprecating humor during a magic act that makes it way more entertaining. I guess it's the contrast of great skill and harsh words drawing me in, but good job overall. I would've been entertained even without the trick, but it made everything that much better.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Teth47 So appreciate your kind words and glad you enjoyed

[@deanmcbride6162]

amazing if you came to Scotland I'd be interested in a show or even meeting you

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks Dean -- if I have a public show in Scotland it will be posted on my Facebook page at facebook.com/NCMComedyMagicShow/ ... glad you enjoyed and I hope you get to catch a show live

[@supremebohnenstange4102]

Great act had to watch it twice to get it all the distraction great job

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks so much

[@danielngoh7754]

A lot of people say it's a good trick. But I tell them this ain't a trick. Tricks are for kids. This is magic. Well done!

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

+Daniel yellowthunderbird That's so kind of you!

[@AmityvilleFan]

pretty simple, but it's a nice addition that the ball does not come out. What I liked this guy used EVERYONE at his disposal.

[@callmetanishq]

Amazing performance Nathan. I started watching and thought I'll be able to guess how it's done. I didn't even get close. So I thought teller might let something slip. All I know now is this really is work of the devil 😈. Good job buddy.

[@NathanCoeMarsh]

Thanks so much, Tanishq

[@paulpardee]

Would you use the same method to get a golf ball in the jar as you would a hardboiled egg?

[@dimitrz2000]

Amazing trick 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MrBongers]

That was excellent. Congrats on a great performance.
