I loved that trick fully. And the acting. That look on his face when he’s like “whose box is this?”

[@X320riginal]

It was the worst trick ever on this show!

[@edgeofthought]

Haha “this is the worst”... I read that and brain went to wurst... I’d love to see this trick performed with various German sausages. The wurstest trickiest box trick ever

@@X320riginal You think you can do it better?

[@amannate3455]

The only problem is that it took too much time in the beginning. He needed to show that his trick was good enough by showing the boxes, doing the card trick and doing the book trick. It took Penn and teller out of the magic routine and put them into calculating mode. Trying to keep up with different number of tricks employed in such a short amount of time. The trick was complex no doubt. Later, the comedy and magical effect were on point too. It's just that the starting feels like a typical magic trick that Penn and teller were not fooled. I mean saw one trick which was very simple that even I knew how it was done but Penn and teller were fooled because they were too into the feeling.

One of the best performances I've watched, even if he didn't fool them. The showmanship and comedy is top notch

[@reference2592]

I genuinely believe this is one of the greatest magic tricks of all time, and I’m not exaggerating. It’s so creative and so unique that it actually inspires awe. In contrast-no matter how technically impressive they are-card tricks, coin tricks, escape tricks, and vanish tricks all just blend into each other eventually. A magician locating your card or a coin disappearing is nifty, but it’s not actually meaningful. But this trick plays with ideas of teleportation, mysterious spaces, effects at a distance, and maybe even quantum uncertainty. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

[@TomStoneMagic]

Thank you, I’m actually quite moved by your kind comment.

[@keithnaylor1981]

[@vega1349]

This routine tickled me pink! Every time you said "Whose box is this?", it got funnier 🤣 such an innocent routine that felt simple but was clearly very complex!

[@barbedwings]

My favorite trick so far on Fool Us. Genuinely awesome performance.

[@tipi5586]

The sense of wonder you get from this guy is quite incredible. Especially because at first, he very deliberately plays up his strangeness and to an extent foriengness, and makes you question if he's actually any good, or is just popular in a very small niche. And then bam, dimensional vortexes happen and he's like "Who's box is this?" and you're left like, "...motherfucker."

[@TomStoneMagic]

Of all the comments here, this one is a favorite! Thanks for the laugh! :-D

[@desdinovvilla-lobos]

This is EXACTLY how I felt. Surfing, gonna check this dude out, seems like a birthday party magician......and then I'm rewinding and rewinding and rewinding and trying to figure out how he is traversing space and time.

[@EpicPianoArrangements]

"Whose box is this?!?" First time he asked it was funny, second time he said it was fascinating... but the third time he said it I was gob-smacked. There are very few acts that stupify me to the point of disbelief... and this was one of them. This... was magic.

This is stage magic at it’s best. Close audience interaction, minimal props, genuine comedy, simple to understand and completely astounding.

The moment a magician turns his body away from the audience, he/she is upto no good. :) Brava

@@niemandschuldet In OP's sentence, "The moment a magician turns his body away from the audience, he/she is upto no good. :) " they are referring to magicians in general and not any specific magician.

Dude this guy deserves more credit. This was probably the best trick ever on fool us and like it's so complex and everything this deserves so much more!

[@reference2592]

Right? Even if it didn't fool them, I kinda wish P&T gave the trick more acknowledgment for it's brilliant design and sequence. P&T care a lot about the "theory" behind magic performance and how tricks are crafted to be meaningful, and this trick was perfection imo, especially compared to the hundreds of card tricks they get on their show where there aren't any real "stakes" or "meaning" behind the magic. This is a trick that was artistically beautiful and meaningful without being too self-serious. No emotional music or hand gestures or shasowy lighting, just a truly beautiful trick done in the least pretentious way possible. That's a rare but wonderful combination.

[@realcomments]

Fooled or not, this was a masterpiece. Hiding a battery in the charging brick usually fools them! ;)

I have actually been on stage in Sweden (Magic Bar) years ago as audience member during this trick performed by Tom Stone. I picked the card and held that box behind my back. Watching the trick unfold pulled the world away from under my feet. So happy to see him (you?) perform it on this show as well. I think what the blunt words Penn & Teller used was. "Magic", "We finaly found someone with real magic."

Because it really was the 5 of clubs, but when the boxes have diamonds on them, it likely confused him

[@pkpckls]

@@Steve-fe4lq But he made a point of saying "don't show it to me", so he shouldn't have been able to correct him. I felt sorry for him there, the audience member cocked things up a bit.

[@ceesparxxx]

This was probably the best trick I have ever seen, and I've been watching Fool Us for awhile now. The fact that you didn't fool them, just goes to show how truly magical they are as a Duo.

[@reference2592]

Meh. That's one of the unsatisfying parts of the show. Some incredibly awesome, complex tricks like this don't "fool them" because they know how it must be done through process of elimination even if they don't REALLY know all the steps, but then some incredibly lame tricks which impress no one technically fool them just because it's a novel set up that no one likes or cares about and can't actually be used in real magic shows. But I agree--and I don't say this lightly either, that this is the best constructed and performed magic trick I have ever seen. Feels genuinely magical.

[@SimonJM]

I have watched this a few times and it NEVER fails to raise a smile with me, the deadpan delivery is wonderful!

[@Kathkere]

I sometimes binge Fool Us videos here on KZbin, and I have to say this remains my favourite act that I've seen. I haven't the faintest clue how one could make this trick work. It just seems wholly impossible -- but there it is. That's not all of it though, I really like your showmanship and the premise of the trick. It's just a stellar performance, through and through! The Swedish accent and the "oj!" is the cherry on the top.

[@suchomimus9921]

This might be my favorite ever Fool Us trick. Amazing. It felt like real magic. Great performance too.

[@craigbeckley2710]

This performance is so good because the effect is something that is layer upon layer of impossible. Three sealed boxes, all in different people's hands, and items jumping from box to box. Like, I can't even begin to comprehend how you can make the items move without it being blatant.

[@curbelo273]

This is a uniquely brilliant trick. Such a simple premise, but gradually expands into more of a mind melting effect.

[@vinity5202]

"How do you know when a trick is ready" sparked a great remembrance of a quote, which is "Don't practice until you get it right. Practice until you can't get it wrong."

[@20x20]

I took it to mean "when is the art of the trick done and fully refined" rather than "when are you fully practised and ready to perform the trick". one is a question of readiness of the trick, the other is a question of readiness of the magician.

[@gabriel-contentwriter5578]

Such an original and beautiful routine, Tom....keep this one with you forever!

[@grayskindablue]

That’s some incredibly, incredibly high praise from them - fooled or not. You looked totally relaxed and like you were just having fun. I imagine if that’s accurate, it’s gotta take an insane amount of skills and confidence in your skills to feel that way on stage in front of Penn & Teller. Big ups for the whole performance! You, the audience member and Alyson were really funny together. lol the audience guy cracked me up. The way he checked out the box and showed it to the camera like “it’s empty, you got that?” Then later he was like “uh, cards, deck of cards!! Uh 5 of… clubs, clubs!!” Dude was having his mind blown by the trick, at that point he could barely remember his card lol. And Alyson “yours. Because you’re holding it?” Sometimes random audience members and/or Alyson are pretty awkward but this added to the laughs.

I’ve got a few ideas on some of the more basic components, but how it all came together can only be described as Magical.

[@samsonhaze6595]

The issue with tricks that are this “magical” is they often have very few feasible techniques for achieving the illusion, thus, by process of elimination and watching him closely, penn, teller, and even some audience members may be able to deduce the method used in the performance. I believe this is why Penn & Teller were not sure if they had been fooled, because they probably had it narrowed down to 2-3 methods, all employing sleight of hand that is well known and recognizable to another professional magician. They (or he) could probably have produced the same result with at least a slightly different technique, and all three of them knew it, thus it was far more obvious to professional eyes what was taking place than to us (the general public audience)

Even though I know the premise behind the method, I have no clue how HE pulled this off because he didn’t use a regular method. Incredible style.

Oh wow, I watched a lot of Penn & Teller's Fool Us and this is my favorite trick I saw. It's absolutely fabulous! Just wow! Perfect!

This was PHENOMENAL! If you weren’t performing for P&T, you’d fool 99.9% of pro magicians - you fooled me! Bc when I have to rewatch at 0.25 speed, then again, I’m really stumped! Beautifully designed (and yes, VERY sneaky) routine 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻

That was an amazing trick! Really entertaining and about as close to actual magic as I think we've seen on this show.

My absolute favorite trick on the show. Well done.

One of the best tricks to ever be featured on Penn and teller imo Beautifully done!

Best trick I've ever seen. It was beautiful!

This is one of the tricks I am thinking "I don't want to know how he's done it". This one has a true feeling of magic I don't want to lose that feeling
