[@STNeish]

Ya, I loved how simple it was... but I'm amazed they didn't notice it.

[@DefendYoungstown]

I actually thought Teller was going to do the milk, too. The magician seemed ready for that.

[@monkey3964]

Teller was just being nice. The milk didn’t fool him. That’s an old gag. The cookie did him in though haha

[@caysherry8701]

I remember watching this for the first time and having my mind completely blown, more so than most of the acts I've seen on Fool Us. Now it seems so obvious but there's still something so special about this trick for me. It's the way it all happens so naturally that your mind is literally forced to consider the possibility that he really swallowed the cookie and spit it back out. If there were no recording of this it would still drive me nuts to this day lol.

[@crispybanana3198]

those are the best tricks in my opinion, the ones that even if you crack them you can still appreciate how smoothly and clearly they were done

[@HalcyonSerenade]

I only just now saw the "magic moment" when seeing this video (out of the 3-4 times I've seen the act's clip itself) and I'm surprised I didn't see it before! He really does pull it off _so_ naturally, with smooth patter at _just_ the right time to make you think everything is over and keep your eyes from looking too closely... unless you _already_ know to look.

[@1108chuck]

I've seen this video several times and the look on Teller's face when Chris spits the milk back in the glass is priceless every time.

[@holydragon3530]

That's the simplest fooler on the history of the show

[@sentival]

theres another... theyre fooled by a cardflip

[@jonsmith5810]

Wes Barker had a great one.

[@martineldritch]

Not knowing what is going to happen next in the act makes it easy to miss the load.

[@ru99414]

It's actually so genius way to fool someone, by manipulating how our brain works. He sets it up as a competition to grab attention, and by using so stupid and obvious items, noone wants to loose! And when there is so little going on, we pay so much attention to everything, and focus all we can, that we actually fail in noticing- or memorizing what he did. It's like when you think really hard about walking, and maybe in a slight stressful situation where you have to make that walk count, it'll be so hard to actually move your legs

[@GuruEvi]

Now by rewinding the video the trick is actually very obvious when the cookie got there but you did it by using a very natural operation that I think it hides in our cultural subconscious much like the original ninja (stage hands in black robes are subconsciously "invisible" in Asian theater cultures). The fact that the cookie was relatively dry gave it away that the cookie wasn't "sleight of mouth".

[@user-sw1wq8lh2w]

the ninja aren't stage hands? Also the biggest achievement on misdirection and misinformation of ninja were who they were and what they could do. People believed ninja could breathe underwater, dematerialize, see without seeing, and much more. Some reasonable people still believe ninja had second sight. But the ninja also spread disinformation much like modern propaganda

[@Fluxty]

If Penn and Teller knew the plot of the trick they would've been able to notice the cookie load, just as we did when we re-watched.

[@Bahamuttone]

@@user-sw1wq8lh2w That means the convention of Japanese theatre of having black dressed stage hands that move the props around and even lift the actor to do "special" effect. They are supposed to be "not there" and so when one of this turns and shank one of the character it throws the public for a loop. That is the origin of the black ninja garb.

[@stevechance150]

When he was spitting the milk back into the glass, he should have dribbled the last little bit on his chin. That would have made the table cloth move seem even more natural.

[@chrisrosemagic]

@Steve chance… It’s funny you should mention dribbling. Since the filming of this segment the routine has evolved… I’ve added adult sized bibs for me and my guest on stage so that “we don’t get anything on our fancy party clothes”. It allows me to do just that; dribble down my chin and not get anything on my clothes or tie (if I’m wearing one). You’re right, it make it all the more natural.

[@brianzahn8052]

This was awesome! Congrats Chris on your amazing achievement in fooling Penn & Teller. It was great the first 300 times we watched this and was great again! You are definitely the Magic-Man!

[@salt0ftheearth83]

Wow amazing once I knew what to look for I totally saw it. Just speaks to the brilliance of his planning.

[@drleo]

I just happened to stumble on this again today after first seeing it years ago, and I gotta say, still a fantastic performance and fool.

[@SharkWayneGaming]

So glad I got to see that piece live when you came to perform here! :D

[@Yazolight]

Haha loved the Fooled U (FU!) trophy!

[@samgod]

At 4:55, his "correct" is such a calm smackdown. He's almost villainous in how he debunks all of Penn's guesses.

[@psdaengr911]

Really good trick, and it shows Penn being much better at accepting being fooled than with some other magicians. It think THAT is real magic.

[@PrasantKumarV76]

HHahaha!!! Great diversion technique with an Amazing performing and gestures. Really loved and laughed out loud as well. I sincerely admire the confidence you have that everyone will gets diverted and you can use simple key to get it back.

[@fahmihilme8883]

0:09 4 seasons of the show! But show with a high-5 sign. Must be new magic trick by Penn. 😆😉😅

[@Tsuchiya0930]

I really really love this act!! and I'm wondering what makes you come up with ideas of this kind of simple but powerful magic.

[@garrybooze8157]

That is so brilliant because I do the exact same thing messing with the kids at dinner... And still didn't notice it the first time. Lol

[@mahuk.]

Dunno Chris. Maybe lying there and saying you ARE that skilled with your mouth could also be considered as a win. Imagine the possibilities...

[@AaronccGuo]

It's true, the best way to fool them is to invite teller up and do close magic and let pen sit. Teller catches more misdirections than pen when they're both sit. To be fair, they might just being nice when they're invited on stage to coorperate, like they'll not stare at things they think are suspicious, rather coorperate with the magicans to perfect their act since they are part of it.

[@DavidEvans_dle]

Wow, a classic magical lesson. Don't let magicians fool up. Penn- "Its not easy to be funny, its not easy..,"

[@wckvn]

Wow, that was very easy and yet enough to fool :)

[@EirTheGhost]

The solution is very obvious but the it's so hidden that it's brilliant Totally ganna perform that at a party or to my family

[@Zeniwutang]

Its so obvious that it is brilliant

[@rayansebos]

So easy and So simple :D beautiful :3

[@jameslawson7383]

So simple, yet so deadly. His choice to leave Penn sitting, paid dividends.

[@cimoa]

"...FOUR SEASONS..." *hands show 5

[@FitFli]

i fooled Penn and Teller once, wow you must be a really good magician

[@1rroger]

Why does the sound cut out?

[@RenewedLifeMedia]

Damn that was so sly. When you watch it back to back you can see it happen but no one would ever guess.

[@Beastt.]

They should bring back that cookie guy

[@Jamesfrancosdog]

I mean it was prrrretty obvious watching from my pov on KZbin. But I can definitely see how the effect works in person

[@wildweasel3001]

Yeah I saw it after a couple of rewinds

[@kristianbiltoft5329]

I like this guy. charming and funny. Was definitely fooled on first viewing.

[@cleanermonkey]

One of my favorite tricks on 'Fool Us'

[@DaveGamesVT]

This really shouldn't have fooled them.

[@chrisrosemagic]

Total surprise for me too. I wasn’t expecting to fool them.

[@schlaftablette9032]

Penn looks like the undertaker

[@MrChadsimoneaux]

Still my favorite trick and performer from Fool Us.

[@KaitouKaiju]

Why does the audio cut out?

[@brianc6163]

does anyone else notice he holds up all 5 digits when he says 4 seasons

[@agentorw634]

In the original video on TV they didn’t show when he put the cookie in I think

[@ItsJoeyShorts]

You where at the restaurant going table to table when I was on vacation in Phoenix Arizona

[@w00tb0ss]

Did he have a nail up the nose the whole show?

[@Uouttooo]

Ok now do it with two cookies!

[@Dip3268]

Penn why do you think so much, let teller do the thinking business 😂

[@Jbird-ib2po]

Says 4 and holds up 5 fingers

[@larkvarhees9177]

anyone else notice the jab at jibreezy lol

[@Breadful1]

they overestimated him

[@wallyohrel9086]

My trick was I had cookie and milk and it went right down. " its disappear " 🥛🍙😛

[@bennettk1058]

Why didnt they want talk about jebreezy? Was that a joke or do they not like him?

[@DavidEvans_dle]

Ha, ha, that's funny. Had a boss at UPS, would always do card magic tricks. Second rate, yet we all played along - like we were impressed. Good days, Good days. #LOL

[@darthdruidman1]

Make KZbin videos! Or do a show in St. Louis!

[@GigglingBug1564]

I just figured it out. Doh!!

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

Why does this go silent in the middle?

[@chrisrosemagic]

It has to do with copyright infringement and I can’t seem to fix it.

[@adrienamcbride]

Why they're not in their seats? Why there's no host?

[@chrisrosemagic]

This was a separate special edition of Penn & Teller: Fool Us where they revisited past foolers.

[@terrybrown1134]

There's no volume

[@thishandleisiunavailable]

:)

[@GregLynn]

Cookie guy lied. HAD to have.

[@DavidEvans_dle]

Teller not talking, per usual. His history is supposed to be a linguist. 😄 This act was second to none.

[@allenstare1831]

How Do We No If They Really Fooled Pen & Teller They Could Just Say That's not How I Did It

[@bobdouglas9599]

Allen Stare there is a judge on the back stage that is told how the trick is done so the person can't do that. They are also there to listen on pen & teller when they are talking to who ever the act is if they are not on track the can decide they fooled them it happen once. When they where hints on who they thought a trick was done the judge felt they missed a part of the trick and decided they fooled them

[@TheN1H1LL]

That was an Oreo not a cookie..

[@DefendYoungstown]

... which they probably couldn't say, because Oreo is the most popular brand name for that particular type of cookie, and that's unnecessary license rights money or litigation settlement they avoided paying by just saying cookie.

[@ImAlsoMerobiba]

Have you seen Oreos packaged like that before?

[@KaitouKaiju]

Oreos are cookies
