Can Topas FOOL Penn & Teller with an ORANGE?!

Teller's faces get me every time. You can just tell how much he truly enjoys watching people do tricks.

@topasmagic I think that was U hu did the Orange trick and through "green screen" kind of tech but didn't fool them and they got fooled by a cookie in 1 of their show; still a great way of doing Magic and hopefully next time I'll B able 2 fool them like that cookie guy did... till then... good luck.

Incredible performance Topas. I will always remember you from World’s Greatest Magic as the guitar glasses guy performing to Hello Again. Keep doing great things

[@heatshield]

One part that I have not yet seen anyone talking about is the puff of magic smoke from the opened orange. That moment would not have meant as much without it. My only magic practice partner has passed on, and he taught me to always think of the special tiny details that would really make a composition worth being proud of sharing. You gave me a good memory of him with this performance, and I thank you.

[@jamesrgoes]

I originally thought the puff was actually oils from the skin when he pulled it open but looking at it again it was probably some sort of powder placed in tbe orange to appear as smoke

[@heatshield]

@@jamesrgoes you know what? I didn't think of that because it just appeared like too much "smoke", and magical. I actually used that property of orange peels in one of my acts before. It's even flammable. Kind of fun to show kids at Christmas (or any place you can find an orange and a candle) that you can make miniature fireballs too. I'll re-watch now. I don't think it was the peel but you could be right. If it was the peel, it was accompanied by a pressure release sound , which makes me think the orange was whole until that point in time. That would be even more impressive. Have to clean up all the insides real quick and lap them. That thought crossed my mind for a moment the first time, but I almost just dismissed it, imagining more tricky ways to accomplish the same result. Watching now. Thanks for the response, bud. 👊😎

[@brianpadraig]

@Red Dwarf i think penn saying 'lucky with an orange' actually implies there would have to be other outs--ie she actually ended up picking the empty orange so he didnt have to bother with anything else, but had she picked one of the other 2 he had some kind of trick he was going to do to get the right one. could've been as simple as the one she picks is the one that gets thrown away and then she has to pick another one, or could've been some kind of slight of hand to switch. anyway, that's just my interpretation of 'lucky with an orange' lol. if it was actually luck, that means he would've had a different plan for if she had picked another orange haha.

[@JDeWittDIY]

The glass doesn't have to be gimmicked. After he places the paper tube the second time, he pushes a button under the table. This activates a tube that rises from the table and dispenses the juice. As for the orange, it's a force. If she choose a real orange, the choice was to discard it, not to use it. Until she picks the right one.
