Shaq vs Penn and Teller

[@theendofit]

you have already lost if you "pick" the 3 of clubs with penn

[@Teth47]

I think that's the point XD

[@geeralo]

oh yeah, you should know that card :D

[@TheComicBookJoker]

Yep. Card trick with Penn Jilette + get the Three of Clubs = “You are already dead.”

[@0Heeroyuy01]

3 of clubs and a select few other cards like 7 of harts are common cards for some reason wonder why?

[@deadlyfred02]

Shaq: *draws 3 of clubs* Pen: I'm about to end this man's whole career

[@leftyfourguns]

Gives you a good idea of how big Shaq really is when he makes Penn look normal in size

[@christopherb475]

Hey, Roland

[@Gadeasy]

+leftyfourguns yeah man shaq is over 7ft and penn is 6'6

[@JackVermicelli]

+Ian Fain With the exception of their queen of hearts gag.

[@evhfan]

axelasdf I've never heard anything about the Qh force before... what's the story?

[@ReDrUmHD1]

+Ian Fain They have a trick where they get one of those glass boxes with fans on the bottom that makes money go flying all over the place when turned on. Rather than putting money in it they use playing cards. First they force the Queen of Hearts, then Teller gets in the box as Penn explains that Teller is going to grab the spectator's card out of the air. They turn the fans on, cover up the box and when they uncover it, it's revealed that it's now an assistant inside the box in a queen of hearts costume, while Penn claims that it's Teller himself that has transformed into the queen of hearts.

[@holliswilliams8426]

[@T1J]

3 of clubs is definitely Penn's favorite card to force, its a nod to their fans. their whole act is about the audience kind of knowing how the trick is done yet still being impressed.

Its obvious to make calls.look up old documentarys of Penn and teller you will see and hear them both talk.its just something that they came up with to add mystery to there act.lol

When you are with Penn or Teller and you "choose" three of clubs, you know that it is forced, it's like their trademark. :-D

Wow. Teller even at that age (around 60 here, I think) still moving fast underneath that stage. What a legend.

The card is ALWAYS three of clubs.

[@rockerseven]

Not always, but most of the time

[@24magiccarrot]

+Jack Curran any time Penn and Teller force a card they use the 3 of clubs, it is actually in reference to the 3 clubs used by Jugglers, as Penn was originally a professional juggler.

[@rockerseven]

Actually I've read in a few places that they chose it because it can easily be seen on camera. Although it could be a combination of the two.

[@leonuug]

I was about to type the same thing!

[@redskincaps]

isn't it also because they have their own gravestone with the 3 clubs in California

[@rowanbrown5541]

Despite not really having the presence for showbiz, Shaq is pretty funny. The covering Penn's face and when he was talking about not being allowed to do magic again were both top notch.
