Penn & Teller Fool Us // World Champion Markobi

The FISM act is fully explained in my new Book (some differences here but majoritary the same ) ➡️ 3monkeys-publishing.com/products/stairway?srsltid=AfmBOor_wXTC8sZL7TbNvzn_f8V4jH4plpWeG1bZ9uFj7TVuOtL8LWpq

The real magic was watching Teller being so entertained. What a great routine!

[@jasonfritz838]

He actually has an audible gasp.

[@Kyle_Riel]

This was so bad. You just scribbled on a bunch of cards. Amateur. This show is so bad without Alyson Trash

[@jeffreyhudencial8194]

[@redbloodreaver4935]

It's actually surprising they have not already watched the act in his two prior performances on FISM and France Got Talent

[@stefanhooss2822]

"This is the happiest day of my week!", the best comment ever, after receiving a fool us trophy😁🤣😂.

[@CalvinSzeMagic]

He's been holding that face to pull this one off for the whole time. Perfect ending!

[@Fiyaaaahh]

He says "Probably the best day of my week". You know, just in case he wins a better trophy 😂

[@OverkilledUnderdog]

OMG. Ridiculous talent.

[@icescrew1]

Stunning. The most entertaining beautifully executed magic I've ever seen. In the top ten of the best entertainment moments of any kind. Thank you !

[@Kheldul]

It was probably filmed on a Monday.

[@rec-re-ate8723]

You know it's an absolutey amazing card trick when you not only see but HEAR Teller's reaction!

[@rvkit2873]

that wasnt him that made that noise lol. it does really look like it with the timing tho

[@samsthemank]

@@rvkit2873 You can simultaneously see and hear him react a couple times in the video. It's coming from someone else's mic, so it would have to be someone on stage anyway

[@Elite7555]

Why does he even wear a microphone? 😁

[@samsthemank]

@@Elite7555 The producers listen in when he and Penn are talking about the trick post-performance. They know how the trick is done, so on occasion they are called upon to make decisions on whether or not they were fooled.

[@WastedPo]

@@rvkit2873 - You're right that the startled gasp at the end wasn't him. But I'm pretty sure that the laugh at 3:40 was him, since it really doesn't sound deep enough to be Penn. Also, the wheezing laugh at 7:04 is definitely Teller. Brooke even looks at him.

[@sizableyeet]

P&T's reaction to the candy bar is so good, because you know that they clocked that shape in his pocket as a second deck the moment they saw him. Markobi is a real magician's magician.

[@nicolaslpte3295]

Same at the end, with the hand in front of the mouth, supposed to hide the card lol

[@Ian_Synnott]

It was to actually fool them into thinking he didn't have a second deck in his pocket when HE DID!!!

[@JPLYUKI]

The best thing about the "candy bar" is that it looks like a deck of cards in his pocket. Any magician would expect him to be carrying a second deck for a deck switch, so when he reveals it's actually just chocolate, Penn and Teller burst into laughter.

[@AntonAdelson]

I bet he does a deck switch indeed and this is just misdirection

[@JPLYUKI]

@@AntonAdelson imo Penn and Teller would appreciate this even more since they're masters at misdirecting you even though you know what to look for. Check out their take on the classic cup and balls trick with clear plastic cups. You can see the sleight of hand as it happens, but it's still absolutely magical.

[@ImAnBoosterBaby]

@@AntonAdelson Not necessarily, although possible. He also does the fake sleight of hand with the empty hand on his chin. After all, the routine was designed to first and foremost impress and entertain magicians (at FISM, not P&T), not a regular audience.

[@twinklesprinkle1318]

He does a switch later at 4:18. The whole act is very clever: He draws over the signature so that he can easily forge signed cards. Then halfay in the trick he does this switch. Then the "pause" is just misdirection, to make you forget about what happened. The fact that some seemingly random cards are face up, plus that he flips the kings and another random card, makes you think it's a normal deck, and marries well with the chaotic style. But the forged signed cards were here since this instant, and there is just no way you can trace it back if you're seeing it the first (or 5th) time because of all the chaos, even if the switch itself is not really hidden.

[@AntonAdelson]

@@twinklesprinkle1318 Yep, that's more or less exactly what I wrote in my another comment here! But you gave a lot more details! Thank you! This whole thing is like 10 minutes of pure non-stop misdirection master-class!

Watch closely from 7:32 he swipes a card with his left hand very sneakily. The/A marked card. The camera cuts at the exact moment where a switch would be made so that's not visible.

i'm not sure but i think most of those cards and probably all on the side close to penn where kings signed like brook normally does and his 'squiggle' and he's good at just showing the few that aren't etc. it looks like the card penn initially choose was also a king signed card as he lays it down for a split second.. i'm probably totally wrong haha

The deck switch at 4:18 is so smartly done 😊 in the previous pack, markobi was showing that all the cards were different, then switched with a pack that contains few cards side up and lot of signed cards…but how Markobi managed to put the remaining 3 K at the position 5 of each pack in such a chaotic way is simply amazing!

[@Conqoo]

How did he do the last switch? The Very last move.

[@xaviertsui9471]

@@Conqoo you mean when Markobi reveal the signed king of clubs? I don't think there is any switch. My guess is that the switched deck contains only pre-signed KC except for the few cards that have been displayed face up on purpose and the bottom card. Therefore, Penn could have selected any face down card and it would have been a KC. To confirm my theory: 1. the card displayed by Markobi is clearly not the same as the one that Brooke and Markobi signed. 2. After the deck switch I didn't see any move that are reversing the orientation of cards, therefore some cards were already face up in the switched deck. 3. Many actions/elements have been added by Markobi after the deck switch. This is so smart as usually the trick happens right after the switch. In this case the effect happened over 3 minutes after the switch. People already have forgotten that a card switch happened or didn't even linked the 4:18 move as a deck switch opportunity but rather an effect showing the transformation of a deck of cards into a single one.

[@DL-kc8fc]

Of course, "K" was a forced card and more "K" cards were described - the description of the first "K" is not the same as the description "K" at the end. The "awkwardness" was supposed to convince that the cards were different. It is a good trick that requires an obedient audience, which Penn and Teller are - they never look at cards if they are not invited. The trophy had to be handed over because Penn guessing deck replacement. However, this trick does not require such a switch - the magician made several tricks "from his pocket" in advance to convince the audience of this possibility. The magician is a very knowledgeable man and deserves the trophy.

After all of these years, you'd think there couldn't be any more great magicians that haven't been on the show yet. And still, they manage to find some time and time again. 🙂

[@SilverSlayer]

I can tell Pen & Teller respected your talent & really enjoyed your style of showmanship. Very good job 👏

[@1Dreamking]

Don't think I have seen Teller having this much fun before. That can only mean this is an awsome act. :) ❤

[@williamstdog9]

Guy is in GOAT status .. I’ve watched a thousand P&T episodes, and watched this guy win awards a few yrs ago, but this is MIND BENDING stuff 😱 👏👏 Easily top 10 or even 5 I’ve EVER SEEN 😵‍💫 Loved Tellers PERFECT reaction at the end too!!! 👍 So happy for him & his epic “messy magic” unique style 👌♥️☺️ Continued success bro!!!

[@YoldaKalBlog]

The most humble yet elegant magic trick i've ever seen in my life. Well done Markobi.

If you put it to 0.25x speed, you will be fooled in 0.25x speed

But if you put it to 2x speed, you will be fooled twice as fast.

[@Noelhall88]

I can confirm

0.25x speed shows the card he drops is a king of clubs with marker all over it. The whole table was full of them.

[@IBEWSparky]

It’s one of those things where you know what he has to be doing, but it’s not possible, so either he is doing something impossible, or he’s not doing what it looks like he is doing. Magic.

[@miltonfriedman69]

Did he use multiple Kc?

[@azzaKaiapoi]

I think he just be. Maybe that's why he scribbled on the card, so it would not be as noticeable?

[@him050]

@@azzaKaiapoi That's exactly it. Him being nonchalant with the cards and seemingly having them turn over at random is what makes the trick what it is and lulls you away from the explanation. If he was being meticulous with the cards and the packets, you'd immediately think that the deck wasn't genuine.

[@kenpearce3269]

Congratulations! That was a very fun and entertaining routine! Loved every minute of it!❤

[@yannchampion7007]

Bravo. Le "it's the best day of m'y week." m'a fait beaucoup rire.

[@stephanemalric8323]

j'ai adoré qu'il soit LA!!! c'est plus que de reconnaissance !!! c'est OUI!!! tu es le plus fort !!

[@MarioLink2]

Huge number. It's so well written, the character also serves the process. This FISM prize rewards intelligent writing, exceptional technique and daring. An important detail, for us French: it's particularly pleasing to finally see a card trick perfectly filmed on TV, something we don't know how to do in France. It really highlights the quality and complexity of the routine. Fun fact: in France, no one picks from the bag of chips, whereas everyone is more relaxed and playful here.

[@gegetlse]

Bravo Markobi ! Superbe prestation ! Bonne continuation à toi !

[@yookoala]

OMG! FISM champion Markobi on Fool Us! can't be more excited about this.

[@Markobi1]

Cheers

There is nothing better than watching masters of their craft being entertained like the rest of us. Teller is a master of close up/slight off hand. To fool him right in front of his face is absolutely amazing. The looks on Teller's face throughout this routine are so telling of this guy's talents, but this look 2:34 from Teller to Penn tells you everything you need to know. It says both, "this guy is good" and "how the hell did he just do that?" Plus the audible "OH!" and jumping out of his seat at the end. Sooooo good.

[@richardwiese9054]

The look on Teller's face at the end said everything!!
