Ok I personally believe Brook don't normally " just happened to have her driver's license on that day " 😂

[@tonyrainbolt9388]

I agree!

[@djg5135]

Giving Brook your number made me laugh lol. Wasn't expecting that.

[@tonyrainbolt9388]

What a fun trick! I really like your presentation. Great character.

[@clintonwilcox4690]

You can tell how great a magician's performance is by how disappointed the crowd sounds if Penn busts the magician.

[@4saken404]

Yeah not to mention us watching from home. I was really bummed out when Penn didn't say "You fooled us!" 😞😞

[@SethiozProject]

nope, audience just likes silly jokes, that's why they are disappointed, but even tho P&T do some comedy themselves, it's still a magic show and not comedy. you need more than comedy to fool them. maybe in got talent show they'd go for it, but nope, not here.

[@clintonwilcox4690]

@@SethiozProject No, you're wrong. The audience has groaned before when Penn busts a magician that hasn't been doing comedy. But magicians are performers, which means the whole package is what audiences find enjoyable. Either way, the magician did a good job, despite what some random person on KZbin who apparently gets his jollies by disagreeing with strangers on the internet says.

Nick! That was so great! I have been waiting to see this for so long, and just wow. You are a class act. So original, so awesome.

[@jasonwillis4819]

Very entertaining - the intro with her (HIS!) phone number was great. Also - like others have stated it is so Classy and kind that Penn & Teller allow the performer to post their segment on YT themselves.

[@MirageUchiha]

_That was great, Nick!_ _You'll get 'em next time bro! 👏🏾 👏🏾_ _Create something of your own that's even crazier than your first trick, and you'll seal the deal for sho! 💯_

[@TylersMagic]

Great job Nick!

[@viopsadmin]

Love the awkward humor.

[@drake1448]

Good performance

[@oliverhughes610]

Eric will never let you live this down

[@Markobi1]

😂😂😂

[@zel4365]

Penns got ur number now yea that’s better than the trophy😂

[@CoinMagicUnderground]

Fun stuff!

[@CalvinEastwood]

Sassiest diss I've seen on this show I think ... dang. I thought the trick was great!

[@ajaysartaddiction6384]

Where did the 5year old Id vanish too when he went for his wallet

[@TheCyberadam26]

Great routine from start to finish. Well done Nick! :D

[@JimEdmiston]

That was one of the funniest performances I’ve seen. A lot of the comedy goes flat in other routines. Great job! 😊

[@isspenguin]

Wait - When did Mac King fool P&T? I thought he was busted all 3 times he performed on the show.

[@chrisdedavid1860]

5:13 Card disappears from hand, now, that's magic! 🙂

[@SlyYe11owGuy]

I absolutely loved that entire piece Nick. Way to go! It’s nice to see solid original magic for a change. Congratulations.

[@CinemAdsvideo]

When did he get the card in his wallet??

[@jaykay3071]

I’m assuming when he took off his jacket, I think it went up his sleeve when he was covering his hand with the handkerchief and slapped it on his back very quickly when taking off his jacket

[@Andrew_McGrath]

Let’s gooooo Nick!!!!

[@BrandonKlingensmith]

Great act, Nick! Can't wait to see you cover for Mac soon.

[@youlikeitiloveit3747]

Did Penn actually call you?

[@magicelliotth]

Never known Penn that harsh before

[@devinthomas4866]

Nice act. loved it. don't know the secret and don't care it was great. Congrats

[@salifyanjikunda5426]

I have noticed that people some people smile when taking ID photos. Just wondering if that's a thing in the US. Where I stay, you need to show a serious face and your hair has to be pulled back.

[@davedixon2167]

depends on what kind of ID, if I remember right. Smiliing is OK on a state ID like a driver's license, but a passport is serious face. Something like that.

[@sammyeisenhower1986]

they tell you not to smile.

[@lifesbutastumble]

@@davedixon2167 I have NO idea why you need a serious face on a passport, because who on earth goes on holiday showing a serious face? lol

[@chenghsin8619]

First view! first comment!

[@szolanek]

Well. The only "move" I could detect is the way the jacket was removed. Awesome technology was built in, but actually the slight of hand was great. For one slight of hand there is no trophy. How the mechanism actually worked, they didn't know, but who cares? Penn gave you the compliment for not making extra moves. Well, magic is a tricky business. Here we missed the anticipation part. Nobody knew what's going to happen and nobody cared. Good tricks are made for the 5 years old mind, catching their attention. Keep trying!

[@jamesrgoes]

Lots of fumbling with the wallet...though the tape wss undone 😂

[@Damoinion]

"secreting" is probably not a good choice of word there. I instantly went to secretions. Think snails, slugs.......

[@jaygilligan]

It was really refreshing to see how you took the stage and made it your own, super compelling performance! But what the hell is up with Penn first of all constantly being a creep to Brooke and secondly being an asshole to you on "the bust"?? His fake phone call to you was bizarrely aggressive for no reason

[@chautauquatrail]

That's kinda what threw me off too, that whole ending that Penn did felt... unlike him, he's usually super nice to people. Weird.

[@davidleavitt835]

I don't think that was aggressive or mean. In comedy, especially stand up, that's known as a callback --no pun intended-- and, I think it was done with a wink.

[@martinzinho6455]

Prettty sure that was code for how he did the trick

[@sammyeisenhower1986]

it wasn't for no reason. Penn was using that to tell him they knew how he did it.

[@PhilBagels]

I know how the trick is done, only in the most general sense. Not enough specific detail to say you didn't fool me. The wallet taped to your back adds an extra layer of difficulty and confusion, which is what fooled me.

[@makebreakrepeat]

You deserve better friends 😅

[@Clifton100]

We all want Brook's number. It simply don't matter that she's elderly and post-menopausal cuz she's so hot n sexy n beautiful with a stunning smile! She's sexier than AT LEAST 98% of 20-30 yr olds, imo.

[@roharbaconmoo]

Seriously no need for modesty with her
