Alyson is just fit for this so funny

So where was the magic?

Thanks for coming to the o’connel bash you just made me legit contemplate how you did that your card tricks are amazing also great job😊🎉

U' re sick man🔥🔥🔥🔥

Slide of hand he change the envelope

He shows himself putting the plates into the envelopes. And he takes extra time with the regular plate. And watch him put it on the envelope. The way his hands move doesn’t add up to the plate going into the envelope. Hes putting it behind the envelope and there’s already a 4th plate with a hole in it. He holds onto the plate till the end. The only problem with this is I never see when he puts it in the envelope. Also he never rips opens the envelope which is strange but maybe just cuz it’s over. Or the machine is modifiable. Aka the round thing in the middle he kept touching between 2nd and 3rd card

i got the trick. The plates are gimmicked. Theres a panel that slides to cover or reveal the hole. He just has to tilt the panel

uh this is easy to figure out... He switched the steel with the hole, then he "mentslist" by choosing the steel out right and choosing the hole that allison thinks, implant the obvious. He makes up a story to avoid the hole.

I like the part where when you put down the altoids tin the video cut

My guess is all of the plates have a inbuilt slide that when tilted cover the hole..

Fun fact: in German an egg is called "Ei", which is pronounced the same way as "eye" in English.

He’s got a fake steel eye that he’s had since the first time he tried the trick

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to know how a trick is done more than this one, really amazing.

This is my favorite Penn & Teller so far, good job Danny!

I really miss Allison :/

"So for this next trick, eye need a testicle...." ~utter silence~

_👁 can't believe you fooled them!_ _👁 figured it out!_ _I'll jus say this..._ _I hear the sound of metal coming from somewhere. Lol_

Had I watched this trick at the time it was out... I would be here writing praises on how great a trick is... But now that I am also periodically watching the new host of the show per youTubes recommendations: I have to especially ALSO praise how perfect it was to be doing it with Alison. And how she fit this role beautifully. I am sure that someone s brilliant as you would have tailored your routine to fit the new host just as well; but here: she fit all TOO well. Very well played... GREAT trick!

Could the "shields " be the trick, like sliding metal plate inside the shields?

This is a whole other genre of magic tricks... Horror magic 😂

I've watched this a few times and I know exactly how he's done it. Don't keep reading if you don't want spoilers. Danny is actually a time traveler. He's able to experience each of the outcomes and has lost his eye to the trick several times. Each time he fails, he travels back in time to before he was impaled and tries again. Once he succeeds, he remains in that timeline. It's a seamless transition so nobody in the audience or at home can perceive when he makes a time leap. Very impressive trick, but unfortunately you can spot a temporal anomaly (caused by the tearing of the space-time fabric) at 7:41. Hope this helped!!

If I were to do that, I would try to have some sort of magnetic sensor under the table that can detect the solid plate 🤔

I might be completely wrong and I highly doubt this is actually how the trick is performed but when you asked allyson to pick she slammed her hands on the envelope to feel if there was a hole and im guessing a lot of other participants would do that. If they don't you can also check the envelope and bail out last second if they picked the wrong one so you're never in danger.

I love this so much 😂😂❤

amazing trick! im a new fan!!

cool Merry Christmas Jesus Birthday new years fun

Bit of Darren Brown here. In round one he pulls two envelopes moves his hand over them and says "its one of". He then eliminates the one Alice believes it is. In round two he says "point to 1" whilst pointing to the one she should choose. She ofcourse chooses 1. Having already programmed her in round 1 she finally chooses the correct one. Tada!

Allison is so freaking adorable and funny. 😊

Brian brushwood does this with a knife and stabs himself, that’s how he got famous in the early days of CZcams, I still have no idea how this is done. I know the producers won’t allow anything actually dangerous on the show…I’m sure the machine actually won’t poke you eye out if it does hit it..ai love it!

Slightly bothered that the last plate was not revealed out of the envelope. If I had to take a guess, I'd probably say that there's some slight of hand going on but I can't see where or when.

you use great music in these. great trick as always

She is on on it. @4:33 She bangs the metal plate on the table to allow for the inner pane of the "plate" to slide and reveal the hole.

It's a gimmick trick but I did enjoy it.

Beautiful trick and the presentation around it. Loved it! How Alison was constantly scared through the act. I wonder if Danny still have an adrenaline rush when pulling the pin and realising the "hook" when his eye is on the line, like Alison had.

I love tricks that make the audience uncomfortable. Just fun to watch people struggle with tension?

No inventeeees que yo sí sé como lo hizo y ellos no 😮

" I don't Like you anymore "...!!!! Awww....SO ADORABLE....🥹🥹🥹 I ❤ Allison and her presence in the show brings a complete full package 📦. I mean... Penn & Teller as the JUDGES and Allison as a announcer or host. 💯% complete... AWESOMENESS...!!!! AMAZEMENT...!!!! ENTERTAINING...!!!!. EVERYTHING....etc.etc.etc. 😄😄😄

God... this is so cringy. The woman is so unconfortable... and all in the name of cheap entertainment and laughs. This is horrible magic. The plates are just fake, the handling and everything is so obvious. Penn and Teller pretending to think the machine is a gimmick... so obvious and cringy. And poor woman, no wonder she left the show.

Squirming Alyson is the best Alyson..

5:22 no hints allowed

I wasn't fooled with this one. Obviously, the 3 metal plates with the hole are lighter than the one without the hole. They could also be of different thicknesses. I don't know how Penn and Teller wouldn't spot this immediately. There was no mystery for me at all in this trick.

😓 "PromoSM"

I reckon you're feeling whether or not the plates have holes and adjusting the act accordingly to suit it. It's excellent acting the way you go with the flow.

I think it's very telling that he never opened the last envelope and showed us the metal plate, so I'm guessing that has something to do with how he did it, but fun trick

Its called he knew the weight of each plate (the full one will be heavier than the other 3) and used a psychology trick to determine the most likely position. Aka SWAG, scientific wild ass guess

😂😂😢 you really need to turn Jesus before you hurt 🙏 🙏 hurt 🤕 your soul 💔❤ amen 🙏

3:14 either he doesn't know what "a site for sore eyes" means or I don't know what it means

i think that this was the first russian roulet type of trick that i really enjoyed watching

I might have a guess but it seems to be good form in the comments not to mention specifics. I'll just say that if my theory is the right one I still wouldn't chance it! They all have holes. I'd be terrified of the trick slipping.

My guess is he can place it anywhere through slight of hand .
