Erik Tait, international champion of comedy and magic.

When not writing comedy and creating original magic, he performs his cutting edge card magic for companies like Honda, Ohio Health, and Bark Box.

He can do US budget.
great routine! I was wondering if anyone was going to mention Dr Green, haha, please take it as a compliment though!
can anyone tell me what magic trick he did? I could not stop watching the beard and with the electro house back track I was in a trance
Just a fabulous trick, it was such fun to see and you are so gifted in sleight of hand, an extraordinary performance.
It doesn't matter if everyone knew how this works, it still looked incredibly smooth and still looked impossible.
Seeeshhhhh man this is crazy❤️👌
Erik, in fact, went to his beard 5:59😆
Wow I thought I was the only person who thought M Knight has been scamming!!! Hahaha
4:45 That smile and chuckle from Shawn brings me joy. He's both a judge and FISM winner. He knows cards and sleight of hand. But it looks like that reaction stems from him genuinely having not seen you load the card. For just a second, he went from judge to delighted spectator. I do magic, but I rarely do magic for magicians, just out of paranoia of looking like a goober. But if that kind of reaction is what is there, I need to start.
your performance is AMAZING MAN!!!! :D ... .... if just the audio wasn't so screwed up
I just watched you on Fool Us and it is amazing how much you have improved this trick, or at least the technique! Well done!
awsome deck
One of the best performances of this show. Bravo!
All that time to get on show and you do a 3 card monte. Not sure how you forgot it’s fool them not show them
I ended up taking this routine to the Olympics of magic and bringing home the Bronze medal. So I am pretty ok with how it worked out.
The switch of the aces is pure gold! loved it. But saying their back in the deck is wow! :)
Super magic and funny, too! Great.
I love seeing Teller's face when somebody straight up impresses him.
This has to be my favorite act from Penn and Teller that did not fool them. It’s easily in my top 5 favorite acts from the show. Everything was fantastic. You were just so funny and and gave such an incredible performance. That, and you’re obviously no magic slouch. This is such a difficult trick to pull off as seamlessly as you did it. You may not have fooled them, but you gave them what, in my opinion, is one of the better performances from the show.
That was one of the best performances I'v seen on this show.
Thank you so much!!!
Never seen anyone deal invisible cards lile that...
Seen you on FISM and Penguin! Great moves! Lennart Green was the first magician I truly loved. Hearing the shout out there made me so happy! Great performance!
First time seeing Penn trying to sabotage a performance by deliberately choosing a different position for the queen (in the second step) after seeing the queen (as we all did) in the central position. Was he trying to challenge the magician or to communicate that he spotted the slight of hand? In any case, good comeback by Eric.
I honestly don’t think he was trying to sabotage me. I think that I hadn’t figured to scripting out the way it is now and he was deliberately acting like a lay person.
I love that you brought this back from your Penn and Teller performance with a few mince tweaks. I always loved your performance and presentation of this scam-ah, I mean game! Well done!
Totes perf? Come on man drop that from the act, say fantabulous or something.
I was saying “that’s Hawt,” but then I got sued by Paris Hilton for copyright violation.
Imagine doing close up magic at FISM, while Shawn Farquhar is sat next to you burning your hands haha. I’ll be honest, I followed most the routine, but the presentation was superb, the sleights were fantastic and all while being very funny.
music is annoying as fuck
I’ve seen Erik do this live. He is so much fun to watch, and the routine is awesome. Fantastic work!
Execellent performance Erik. I hope that one day I will be able to compete at FISM. I am one of the podcast listeners, and when I found out you were going to TAOM also, I got very excited. I am only fourteen, and this will be my first magic convention. I tried out for the junior close up contest and I was accepted, and I will be honored of you would come to watch it. It would make my day. I am a huge fan of yours, and I really hope we can “throw some cards around!” Congrats on winning third place in FISM, and I hope I’ll get to meet you at TAOM! Kindest regards, Jake McCord
See you there kid.
@@eriktait434 Thanks, can’t wait to meet you!
Great performance , well done.👍 Those camera angles were a bit unfortunate though, but your routine was well thought out , I enjoyed it very much👍
I enjoyed watching this video. But I have a question. In Shawn's position, he must have seen a lot of secrets that he shouldn't have seen. What do you think?
A decision was made very early on in the construction of the routine to have the best show for the audience and just accept that the person on my left can see everything. The piece is specifically built for competition. So the person on my left will usually be a polite and compliant magician. There are many moments that misdirect that person so they still experience magic, but when building a competition routine I make different choices than I would when building a routine I am going to perform for lay people.
beautiful!
You are a very skilled individual…much respect.
I am magician and i crazy about the monte tricks. And you add something to this category of trick. You add an very good presentation and original effect. It's not just "Find the queen" ! All the effect of this trick is justified and execute with a method i'd never seen before. And a final with 3 clear card is just... beautyful !
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great auditory illusion and nice sleights
Great job.
That back and forth between Penn & Tait was iconic. This coded language should be called, "PennLatin".
Lol she did not like the "Buffy cash" joke 🤣 😂
Yes she did. She does have a sense of humor.
Absolutely, absolutely impressive!!! Bravo!!!
Did you asked Shawn Farquhar his name? :) (edit: f...ing autocorrect)
As a long time IBM member Shawn is a good friend of mine. However in the context of competition I wanted to proceed the way I would with any random person so the judges could get the feel of the routine without doing inside jokes between friends. If this had been a performance at a convention it would have been different. But this was world championship competition. So. Yeah, I asked him his name.
@@eriktait434 I was certain you know him. But it looked so funny to me. Like asking Copperfield his name :) And of course, excellent performance. You're great!
Love how you talk it out it is great❤
Better than your Fool Us performance! Fucking fantastic dude!
Lennart Green 100%
Honestly, the most impressive thing to me about this performance, is being comfortable enough to give Alyson room to do her brilliant comedic things, in a back and forth fashion. Most "comedic" magicians aren't secure enough(or good enough) to be able to go there when on stage. You're legit funny, Erik.
That's a great point actually.
The funniest part of this is Shaun pretending not to be a magician! 😂😂😂
Wow! Excellent hands!
Robert Englund vibes. Which is a good thing.
Very nice.
"Are you sure you don't have any of that Buffy money laying around?" Hilarious! Well played lol!!! Hearing a Buffy reference made my day lol!! Such a great routine! How'd the freakin cards disappear??? 😳😵💫😲
Oh snaps! That's right!
woulda been better if he asked about the american pie money
Can we talk about the invisible cards tho. Holy....
So cool well done
