[@astrowuff]

Really shocked these slight of hand masters couldn't get it.

[@AriochStarr]

He's just *that* good!

[@buttersnow8707]

I don't think there's any doubt that they'd be able to see it watching it on video like this, it was more than obviously framed. The brilliance was behind using the well known predictable gag as distraction, they were just set off guard.

[@Tooopper]

To be absolutely fair. We were given a prime angle and a close up. It's sort of hard to have your senses redirected by a magician when the camera starts shoving it in your face. Especially with this trick in particular. The camera was definitely not kind to this one.

[@-danR]

What nobody is getting is that the gross-out factor is _part_ of the misdirection. An old master like Teller was probably in a (thinking 'that ain't a classy move for a magic act; he should leave that part out' and 'geez what's he going to do next, offer me the glass..?!') mood. Cognitively, it smothers the load.

[@KombatGod]

Teller is too kind. He drank all milk just to act like a regular audience member, but I'm sure he knew the magician would spit out the milk. In fact I think he had Teller and Allison there because he thought he'd get Allison with the milk but not Teller, and then he'd get Teller with the cookie.

[@codewordbw3340]

I agree

[@Zeru64_]

Also, I think Penn wouldn't be that kind, he would spit the milk. "Penn, you honestly scare me".

[@AzNightmare]

*Whenever Teller or Penn is called up to be a participant, they always go into "random audience" mode. They take that opportunity to examine things up close, but they will never embarrass or ruin someone's trick. That's not the spirit of the show.*

[@SethiozProject]

@I don't think so! that's the magic, it's a lot easier to notice things when you're not on the stage. If you're there yourself, you're not thinking clearly. that's how most magic is done, misdirection.

[@boondogglet132]

@@SethiozProject isnt that what Penn has preached for the last 20 years. Misdirection.

[@CH3FFI3]

Teller was staring right at him when he loaded the second cookie.

[@sigma_z]

But it was covered and it looked natural.

[@chrisrosemagic]

Yeah, he was a tough one to get past.

[@GentlemenMonkey]

It was really effective misdirection. The actual trick of the cookie appearing was so unexpected and the moment the loading happens seems so natural and unrelated to anything. It's really quite brilliant. People rewatching this while looking for the loading will see it as the plain and simple action that it was and feel underwhelmed but the thing is, this is magic in its purest form. We all watched it happen plain as day and none of us caught it, even Penn and Teller. I will always be more impressed by magic like this than slick slight of hand or clever mechanical functions.

[@josephBo]

Yeah that was outstanding misdirection by Chris. The trick is so so so basic that you don't even think about it while watching it

[@roberth9814]

He fooled them by convincing them there was more to the trick than there is.

[@37pancake]

@9:16 i heard Allison saying" Do we need to call your wife" 😂😂😂😂 to check how skilled he was with mouth..😂😂

[@titavaughns7698]

😲 Allisonnnn 🤣🤣🤣

[@paul-ye3ut]

Penn: how skilled are u with your mouth Alison: wow Alison was interested

[@Dr.UldenWascht]

Years later and this is still one of my most favorite 'Fool Us' performances. The misdirection was so strong yet so obvious in hindsight that you can't help but be in awe. It's beating P&T in their own game right in their faces. I can only imagine how hard they were kicking themselves after the show. Amazing 😄

[@migesss]

First sensible comment i've read about this. Everyone is all "oh that was so easy to spot, I don't know how they missed it". When we can be sure most people can't and didn't catch it at first, even if indeed its so obvious IN HINDSIGHT. Awesome performance and well deserved trophy IMO.

[@korana6308]

I agree , this is so simple yet so incredible , his laugh is timed so right and is so organic. I honestly don't think anyone noticed it from the first time.

[@darth.4996]

My God. The sheer balls of sneaking it in front of Teller.

[@jamil3465]

just brilliant how easy he gets the cookie in his mouth by missdirection

[@imaEnVideo]

Misdirection, misdirection, misdirection. That's all it is about, and that was one, if not the, best misdirection. This is a great act, and a fantastic misdirection that trapped the 2 men whose job is literally to not get trapped by it.

[@Womfu]

It was such a simple load-in but the misdirection was executed perfectly to where they were unable to notice it

[@dreamwalkertunes]

I bet when they looked back at this they face-palmed so hard. Ha

[@BlokeOzzie]

I'm sure they did. The fact that Teller and the host are both looking at him the moment he does it, and doesn't even notice it, goes to show the brilliance of masking sleight of hand in the most mundane fashion such that you don't expect the sleight to be there at all.

[@thishandleisiunavailable]

Lmao

[@Pandapeep]

Nah. They like magic, they like magicians. They've said many times that fooling them isn't important, showing cool entertaining magic is.

[@sandqwert]

It's hard to believe that single simple move just fooled them!!! This proves that a trick does not need to be complicated in order to be effective... Nicely done.

[@chrisrosemagic]

Agreed, on both points. Thanks for watching.

[@pepperplume]

Right! You just have to get away with one trick

[@magusmelanie828]

The secret to this trick is having the audacity to perform it

[@mangashu911gt]

The fact that he actually got away with such a simple trick. Well played sir.

[@SomeThrillingHeroics]

I have to say, that's one of the best foolings I've seen. If you watch it back, it's blindingly obvious, but first time it's so natural you never even see it.

[@erichughes3987]

Exactly. I was thinking the same thing!

[@mr.jashon]

Agreed.he proved that a simple and basic trick can fool Penn & teller .😂

[@PickyMcCritical]

He actually seemed surprised to win, like he was just having fun and getting his name out there, but accidentally had superb presentation beyond what he expected lol

[@schlafanzyk]

So simple, yet so well disguised and easy to miss.

[@peypeyninja]

For sure, or my best guess at the nail. The Simon says, watch me. Now you go focus all attention on them and gives you a chance for "magic" its a beautiful set up for misdirection.

[@jubblibur1619]

oh man that misdirection was ingenious lol, it was insanely apparent in the video what he did

[@Ohmz27]

Can't believe Teller didn't see the cookie load, it was so obvious lol, they'll be kicking themselves watching replays of this.

[@eeeddddddiiieee]

When you only get to watch it once it’s very hard to see but when you watch it a second time you see it right away.

[@scribe570]

You realize on the second watch what is coming, and that's there's very little opportunity to slip in the cookie.

[@Mishro22]

Blows my mind how well he performed this. Teller was staring directly at his move and still didn't catch it. His timing was spot on perfect.

[@kelvinwolfbane]

HAHA anyone notice how teller is only focused on his hands and not giving a shit about what he's saying?

[@diowk]

Penn and Teller must have felt quite embarrassed when they watched this back

[@Conserpov]

It was so egregiously obvious (on rewatch), yet they completely failed to register it because he tricked them into not expecting it Legit fooled them like kids with the simplest misdirection & sleight

[@royreed4696]

I'm sure they did

[@cr0wsb0nes]

nah they just wanted him to perform for them in vegas , they liked his act

[@spockman4250]

What's great about this is he makes the load-in immediately after making a joke. You're mind is in the process of understanding and laughing at the joke that it doesn't focus on the split second he makes the obvious move. It's the classic misdirect.

[@surveyordave]

his face/mouth looks very different after the load-in.

[@alexandramarberry1023]

It was so obvious on my first time watching it that when it got to their guess, I thought it was going to be the nail that stumped them and not the cookie, despite the title of the video.

[@schwabentutorials]

That move, yet so obvious, is so perfectly integrated in the whole performance and persona that not even Teller, being right next to him and literally staring at it, did catch it. That is impressive!

[@Landrar]

schwabentutorials Absolutely! It's blatantly obvious how he does it once you know the outcome, but he's so seamless in his act that you just never see it. Brilliant!

[@sixdolla]

It's a show. I'm pretty sure they seen it but made it fun for the show anyway. I don't have a problem with that. Kinda the spirit of magic. It's fun.

I was half expecting Teller to spit out some milk too and be like " what bitch" LOL

[@lemon_maho]

Lolllll but not the cookie xD

[@chrisrosemagic]

I was hoping he would. That would have been great!

[@vaevictusdeus]

The real key to this trick was bringing Teller on stage (Teller's better at spotting sleight of hand) and forcing him to his right by not breaking eye contact with Penn. Sneaky stuff. Very well planned and executed.

[@wowantonlavey]

actually penn is far far more into and adept at slight of hand. teller is more misdirection magic.

[@iBleedRedNGold916]

Excellent call. I agree 100%. Penn is more, like he said, Carney trash. Teller is more the "Magician". So having Teller right next to him caused Tellers POV to be from the magicians eyes rather than a spectator able to see the whole trick. Also I think he didn't invite Penn to join because Penn would've easily caught the cookie load at the end. Excellent catch my friend.

[@jackdaone6469]

@@wowantonlavey You got it the other way around: Penn’s the misdirection specialist, though he’s no slouch at sleight-of-hand and other magic techniques. Penn was, in his own words, “carny trash” before Teller recruited him to be his partner. By Penn’s own admission, Teller is the superior magician of the two.

It's neat but kind of straight out of the box stuff, right?

[@lucasmucas9072]

Agreed, I guess professionals can make mistakes but after a rewatch it was immediately obvious

[@praguepride9350]

It goes to show brilliant misdirection. As Penn said he was watching out for the "spit the drink out" trick and because of that focus they missed the brilliant load. P&T talk about this a lot in tricks that end up fooling them is that there are tricks where they don't know what the effect is going to be and therefore they don't know what they are supposed to be looking for. Remember everything on stage has a purpose. The whole reason he did the human blockhead and the milk spit was to prime P&T to think of juggling and not magic so when he did a magic move it slipped right on by. Very bold but also well deserved win.

[@chrisrosemagic]

[@Benjamin-rq1fi]

I saw the milk jug in the case! I was astounded the audience didn't react to it.

[@bg73]

I also thought it was weird how that case opened and the milk was standing up-right

[@OmniphonProductions]

THANK YOU! I think, if the case had been more forward on the stage, it would have drawn more attention. Maybe he meant it as a, sort of, Easter egg for us die hards. Also, after rewinding, I can't believe he pulled off that pass with Teller looking right at his mouth. SO SMOOTH!

[@chrisrosemagic]

Yeah, I'm sad that didn't get much attention. It was my take on the 'bowling ball from briefcase" routine. I had planned on walking on stage with the case in hand. The director changed a few things just before we started and those changes made the milk and cookie jar production a non-subject. In hindsight simply placing the case on the floor and picking it up, setting it on the table, then opening it would have made a big difference.

[@---cr8nw]

This was absolutely brilliant. Bringing Teller onto the stage to get him right up close and then distracting him with his disappointment over the milk hold: nothing short of genius. Don't let these other commenters get you down. Any magic move is easy to spot if you know what you're looking for and only watching for that one thing. You had 3 tricks, albeit simple tricks, running in just the right rhythm to confuse two of the best magicians in the world.

[@copokitapo]

If you know the ending of the trick the cookie load is obvious, but going in not knowing what to expect makes it a classic.

[@Zero-yd7dm]

Wow! He got lucky Penn wasn't looking when he did the misdirection part. I get why Alison and Teller wouldn't noticed but he's very lucky Penn missed it. Watching it on video it's easy to tell but in person I'm sure it's tough. Love seeing such a simple trick, executed well, fool them!

[@Rambowjo2]

The trick is that he tells them the game is over, so Teller pays less attention for a short moment. Also the trick is so absurd, that the way he did it would not even register to Teller as an attempt at a sleight, but simply doing what is a perfectly reasonable thing to do in such a situation, after having spat out milk. Teller totally saw him doing the sleight, it just didn't register at all.

[@brettpe5679]

I am blown away how they missed the obvious being legends of the craft.

[@inthefade]

The fact that it was so obvious took BALLS and an insane amount of confidence in your natural poise and demeanour, which is well deserved, considering that Teller didn't even catch it, he was right next to you! Bravo dude, genuinely, that was well done

[@benwhitcombe9880]

i really think the most beautiful magic tricks are the ones that become insanely obvious on the second viewing. unbelievably elegant well done chris

Once you see it, it's totally in your face, but so nicely executed that you miss it.

[@James-nv3uj]

Very simple and perfectly executed. The use of props was excellent and the misdirection brilliant. How they missed it is the real challenge.

Hahahahaha, they were expecting a much sneakier trick! And Teller was looking right at you too. Beautifully done.

[@benhansen1474]

This trick is a perfect example of why one of the rules of magic is that you never do the same trick twice. We should stop looking at this trick as "how did it fool P&T" and start looking at this trick as, "miss direction done so well... it tricked P&T"

[@free-space7059]

Nice! Te move he used to load the cookie is so obvious and simple so they didn't even thought about it. Nicely done! Sometimes the simplest way is the best.

[@EnhancedChimp]

They thought about it. They know exactly how it's done it was their second guess but they only have one. A lot of magician uses red herring which made them overthink and guess wrong.

yes true.....

[@alabaalala7272]
