Really great trick. One thing though. She shouldn't be given the option to trade unless she's looking through the painting or it contradicts the narrative. Unless it's supposed to have tranferred x ray vision to her.

[@ThatBugBehindYou]

If she said she did want to trade he would have held the painting back over her eyes to confirm I'm sure. Regardless her simple presence in the trick ruins it for me because for 1 how can you "see through envelopes" and not be shocked by it, and for 2 if you actually can't see through the envelopes and are guessing why aren't you acting confused or saying you can't see through?

[@goffe2282]

[@SKyrim190]

@@ThatBugBehindYou the instruction he gives is something like "what color is being projected to your mind?" Or something like that.

The entire idea of trading the envelopes at any point during the routine kinda ruins it for me. If it was truly supposed to be X-ray vision, why would she not be sure about which color she chose previously?

[@unclecreepy4185]

When a magician hides his hands behind a table or anything, it’s an obvious cue that he’s doing a swap of sorts.

[@RDM606]

I thought the same thing

[@TombunnyHunter]

Normally, yes. But on Fool Us the magicians often do that as misdirection to put Penn & Teller down the wrong path. Remember, P&T only get one guess, several people have won, NOT by doing a trick that they can't figure out but by providing them with clues that make them think it is more likely to be done by one way than a second one that they would have said. It is actually the only thing I don't like about the show is when they win like that. I'm genuinely more entertained when P&T have no idea how they do it and not by the magician winning on a technicality.

[@lordofentropy]

Yeah unfortunately it was pretty obvious. My eyes immediately went to him pulling out the envelope from the table. Don't know if it was camera angle, nerves, maybe the lighting so the eyes didn't draw attention, or something else.

That's a red herring.

[@bummers]

When he went for the eyes, his right hand went behind the platform for waaaaay too long.

[@sanderschat]

oke, one color explained...

[@JIKitty]

The envelopes all have green inside. So no matter how they are placed, the green one will always be right. The red one was swapped under the table. The ones that Peter opens himself are slight of hand. He doesn't really take something out of the envelopes, he is already holding the right cloth inside his hand before opening. Those he gets previously. I think: one from the table and one at 5:17. One hand will simultaneously hold the envelope and the extra cloth. The extra cloth is also packaged tight, so that he can make the illusion of it coming out of the envelope.

[@vinhix]

@@sanderschat lol I'm not a magician and there's not one single move I didn't caught him doing, you can even see him placing his hands in his pocket, the right one sitting there for quite a while, and then just the obvious palming and covering his hand the whole time after that. Yeah I couldn't do it, it requires years of practise, but its a pretty easy trick and if I can spot all the trades he did, any magician can see how the trick is done fairly easy.

[@Fatvod]

@@vinhix Not palming, he's using thumb tips. You notice each time he tears open the envelope he jams his right thumb inside, then he squeezes the outside of the envelope to take off the thumb tip and then reaches in to take out the scarf. He's really good at hiding the thumb tip during his movements but there's a few spots that if you pause you can see it. That's also why Penn gave the code word "tip of our tongue" he's referencing a thumb tip.

When he hands the fists envelope to Alison, we all see the swap at 04:12. As mentioned above, the envelopes that he opens have 2 colors inside. He just pulls the corresponding color.

[@adityaganju]

** Spoiler Alert** (Not for the faint hearted- I mean you, Serena) What I hope Penn would say: All envelopes in beginning had green. 1st one was an obvious change to red before handing over to Alison. Then green handed to Alison. Other 2 envelopes in control with magician. Puts hands in pockets/under table both times, saves up yellow and blue cloth in fake thumb/fingers etc. And that’s the trick. What Penn actually says: Subtle.. Sherlock Homes...mystery.. Me: huh?

[@joeskis]

There's gotta be a way to do it without the obvious switch and the guest holds all the envelopes. The magician hands the envelops in a particular direction. "hold right here. Now tear the bottom off with your other hand." the orientation of the envelops determines what pocket gets opened and it's contents spilt.

[@IILMNBD]

No sir..she could actually see the inside...but that's not magic..but work of reflection and other physics laws..hence a failure.

For the final two, I think he's using false thumbs and stuffing them in the envelope when it opens them. Basically, all envelops have green. Red is swapped behind the briefcase. Yellow and Blue are each pulled from his pocket at different times using false thumbs. Notice how much longer than Alyson he takes to open the final envelope.

For yellow and blue, he's palming a scrunched up piece of fabric (which he loaded into his hands out of his pockets when he stuck his hands into his pockets while talking). When he tears his envelops open, he leaves the wadded up green inside the envelops and displays the palmed appropriate colors.

Funny part is, Barney Stinson also tried to "test X-Ray with Alyson" before 😄

Glad that Allison switched to the comfy clunky white tennis shoes!

A great show regardless if they know how you pulled it off. I have no clue other than forcing. Well done, Sir!

[@isabella-a-a-a]

Love this trick, the aesthetic and your vibe. Great collection too, would like to see more! Fantastic job :)

[@PeterWood]

Thanks so much, Isabella! Very kind of you. Also, I was lucky enough to perform on the show a couple of seasons later here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5-ncoCQa7R_a9U

Peter is a fabulous magician and is someone I would love to see in person doing a full show. 👍🏻

[@amadueskooler6559]

what ? this guy is the sloppiest worst i have ever seen , the first envelope red , he does the swap and you see his hand behind the table , watch again . burner , now i'll watch the rest sure its just as bad

[@arturo9610]

That was a very fun trick to watch. Well done!

[@Punklynn911]

You made my kids so happy when you visited our library in town. You are so great:)

[@ukiyuhahsuh478]

So many GREAT magicians like yourself, standing out on KZbin is hard. I love this content, thank you for sharing, I hope you grow in popularity and crack the YT algorithm.

[@PeterWood]

Wow, thank you so much! Being on the show was an honor, and having folks enjoy it on YT is icing on the cake. Cheers!

[@mrdavemagic]

I love this show and so happy my friend Peter had a chance to do this during the pandemic.

[@Pathfinder-Doc]

Wonderful. I felt like a kid again.

[@PeterWood]

Big thanks, Jeremy!

[@snowy5599]

I grew up watching you and your brother on the HoCoFair stage, and I am floored to see you on P&T now~! Congratz on making it there!

[@PeterWood]

Thank you so much! Feeling floored myself; and fingers crossed we'll be able to have a HoCo Fair this year :-)

If Anyone Would Fool Penn & Teller, Peter Wood🙆🏾‍♂️

[@myalteregoartist]

The act is great.

[@grewntd]

Incredible how magicians have their own code language

[@MikeFarnhamGalaxysEdgeGroup]

Switched envelopes behind the suitcase. Easy.

[@eloryosnak4100]

Kudos to you for not doing what so many magicians do. You wrote "I gave Alyson xray vision" You didnt write "amazing magician nearly bedazzles penn and teller!"

[@PeterWood]

Really appreciate it, Elor! It's a subtle but important distinction, and I appreciate that you picked up on it.

[@stevesalt8003]

Rather simple though elegant.

[@skycaptainIndigo]

I love this dudes house and i love that he collects amazing things!!! I wish i could find a significant other like that....

[@TheMagicofRoberto]

Great original routine I did notice a few things that confirm Penns statement. There was a lot of camera misdirection focusing on Alice when the magician would not want the audience to see but they wouldn't be catching it as they're not trained to see what is actually happening. Still very entertaining and great story line

[@interstaffing]

4:13 Don't need to be Penn *or* Teller to ask "What's going on here?" As soon as any part of a magic trick disappears from my view, I question it... I can never answer it, but I question it.. lol. cheers.

[@MavericksArcade]

I wish I could enjoy this show more. The tricks are quite obvious in most cases, even more so when recorded.

[@TheRagingPlatypus]

I can't tell you how many times watching this I think, "And this one time at band camp..."

[@kazuichikaz]

You're brilliant! I love the types of tricks where it looks like the audience member is doing the trick rather than the magician themselves. Your stage presence is great and I love the props - wonderful performance!! 😊 I'm purposely not reading other comments because I don't want to spoil the magic, I never understand Penn's rambles at the end haha and this trick in particular I just loved it!

[@PeterWood]

Wow, thank you so, so much, Katie! I've always found this approach far more interesting than the "all powerful magician" cliché, and am delighted that you agree :-) Really appreciate your taking the time to pass along the kind words.

[@Tasarran]

It's almost impossible to spoil the magic, for me... It's even more impressive to see the skill and cleverness that goes into the actual trick... I mean if you could teleport objects from hand to hand for real, that would be amazing, but I wouldn't be amazed if you could do magic tricks with it...

[@AutPen38]

I enjoy the audience participation too, but I'm perplexed by this trick. Could it have worked with any random member of the audience or was Alyson "in on it" in some way? I can't work out what it is that she "saw" that made her choose particular colours... but perhaps it's best to not know. I'll have to watch this a couple more times, because I'm a bit mystified by what actually happened. Good trick!

[@thorinmesser]

@@AutPen38 I think the rules of the show forbid stooges so Alyson should never be in on it.
