Piff the Magic Dragon on Penn & Teller Fool Us

[@JLawL]

This made his career! He opens for Penn and Teller quite often now, even has his own show!

[@pascalslonina8655]

He even got his own Theater in Las Vegas after AGT

[@jeroenvannunen3061]

They are really good friends now

[@belindacook2250]

What I love as much as anything about this is the way they treat each other as buddies, being sarcastic to each other as guys will do, and taking it all in good fun.

The prize beyond the trophy is to appear as a guest in Penn & Teller’s show. Well, now Piff the Magic Dragon has his own super popular show in Vegas, can’t wait for Covid to get lost and go and see it!!! SUCH a great entertainer!

[@austenmanning6074]

What is it called (he’s my favourite magician)

[@funnyusername8635]

I've been binge watching magic, lately. I can't wait to go back to Las Vegas for shows. Also the Atomic Testing Museum because I'm that kind of nerd.

*Him putting the whole rest of the banana in his mouth was fucking hilarious.*

The sheer joy from Teller in response to this was wonderful.

[@peter2213]

Almost every single thing seen here he did on America’s got talent and it’s amazing how consistent he was with it

[@hyhena-gaming9986]

He use this act on agt, the first act at that.

Well, you can't pretend he has an infinity of acts

[@8wheeledassassins.]

He invented this trick so it makes sense. John Vanderputt is his real name and he has been performing for a long time.

[@mr.jimbusiness6326]

actually he did this first on FU, THEN AGT

[@zengance1323]

its called a standup routine for a reason

[@bigkev84]

I saw him at The Lowry soon after this (and before AGT). The show was brilliant. The first half was comedy magic and the second half was just magic! Brilliant

[@freddiesmagic6370]

I know he won't care but I watch this whenever I've had a bad day, always makes me laugh!

[@TitaniumDragon]

This is such a bizarre act. But I have to say, that was a very good trick.

[@TheRealSabakuNoGabo]

Rest in peace Mr. Piffles... You will be missed. Fly high you magnificent chihuahua dragon.

[@ahadatta1787]

I’m surprised Stacy could tell he was looking at her She’s just as magic as him

[@patrickbyrne5070]

I love this so much. Thank you mate. You’re a G. 6:05 you cemented yourself as a legend and a friend to the most iconic magicians possibly ever. For over a decade and runnin. Fkin amazing. Real recognise real. Thank you for bringing that joy when it was needed most brother. I hope you’re doing well over there - you’re a truly unique talent.

[@nahbro7282]

I saw him live and it was amazing. He did mess up a trick where a picture was actually a screen but he played it off super well

[@moneyshotmonday7471]

[@sidneyvandykeii3169]

His show is 3/4 stand up and 1/4 magic. I've watched lots of videos but, haven't seen him live. His Deadpan style of humor cracks me up.

It is stand up

[@SeahawksBamBamKam]

[@SR1Records]

I can explain it for you. 24 people gave it a thumbs down, and 22 gave it a thumbs up. Hope that helps. (And you're welcome).

[@Tsukaiyo]

Maybe because he did that EXACT same act for America's Got Talent, and most likely they saw that one first (like I did)

[@Agnos7692]

His fool us episode was taped years before his agt act...

[@hardusvaneeden5913]

This is the same routine he did on America's got talent

[@_wowzaimshook_9368]

Definitely, and he had more energy on America’s got talent. This is just dry

[@jonstiffer4994]

@@_wowzaimshook_9368 The dry is what makes it so good. A bored, slightly irritated guy in a dragon suit performing magic is brilliant. With more energy it turns into a clown show, which I guess is more suitable for American TV.

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

At 6:04 people laugh really hard--Teller literally stomps his feet! But I don't see why. What happened there?

[@BulletHunterz]

Because nobody ever has had balls to come to their show, and as they are talking about fooling, they got the balls to not focus and instead eat a banana

[@YouTubeallowedmynametobestolen]

@@BulletHunterz Really? Because he took his first bite at about 5:40, but the really big laugh didn't come until more than 20 seconds later, at 6:04. But you may be right. Maybe the full impact of it didn't hit until that moment; sometimes you have to carry a that kind of insolence on for a while before it hits its full fruition. In any case, thanks for the response.

[@vkws828]

Pegasus if you rewatch it; he takes a second bite as they are beginning to speak to him. The laugh is caused by his indifference of the situation at that moment.

All the cards were the nine of hearts. But with peal off regular cards over all of them? Except where, he told her to write her name. Neatly in the top? 90 degree portions after folding it? Ideas?

[@bornbrit777]

If you look at the "Y" in Stacey, you'll see how the bottom of the Y goes onto the king then disappears

[@RabbiHerschel]

@@bornbrit777 according to people on the internet (always a reliable source) Penn and Teller actually were fooled by the trick, but their guess was close enough that Piff conceded anyway, and they found out after the show.

[@eddyganges3934]

@@RabbiHerschel that is correct. He said it on a podcast a few years ago. Piff knew early on forming a bond with Penn and Teller would be better than being knitpicky on the trick in the long run and he was right.

And adding the music over Penn talking is supposed to do what? He said nothing inappropriate and didn't say how the trick was done. Just offered a guess suggesting that the Jack of spades ♠️ was over the top of the 9 of hearts ❤ which was wrong by Piff's confirmation.
