Rebecca Herrera Fools Penn & Teller with her Ears LINKS: www.martinhartfilms.com/my-mag... www.martinthart.com/tv--radio... PIDDINGTON'S SECRETS www.amazon.co.uk/Piddingtons-...
I just have to say that I hate when someone says whether they fooled or did not fool Penn and Teller. It's like telling the end of a movie, and then you don't even want to watch it. What that said, this was an awesome routine and very well executed
Yah, and they didn't even say great job or qny positive remarks. Definitely had something going on there. And she didn't correct penn when he said there's someone else in the audience watching.
I will start by saying it fooled me, too and was spectacular. AND if she ever needs to do misdirection, her legs are a fantastic distraction. The only thing i can imagine is that the writing pad, easel, whatever that thing is -- can sense the pressure of the marker and then transmit that by wifi or blue tooth to let's say some sort of tactile matrix under her shirt on her back. It STILL takes a lot of skill and practice to translate that to a reasonably good picture in her mind, but she must be that skilled. Nicely done. Very enjoyable performance.
Yeah. The marker had a motion sensor. And played back information. But that’d still be hard to reconstruct. Like the location of the square. She made no comment on the water squiggles. I think.

It sounds like this is one that actually did not fool P&T at all but that they had to say fooled them on technicality. The verdict is that someone is helping convey the information to her (e.g. she has a partner sitting in the audience). She ruled out some of the possibilities while teller was on stage. She's not wearing an earpiece, so nobody is speaking the answer to her. Her eyes are covered so nobody is hand signing the answer to her. However, there are a wide variety of sneaky transmission methods that could be used. For example, she might have an object that vibrates tucked into her belt that vibrates a code to her. It's important that the art be simple because something like B-O-A-T or H-O-U-S-E is very easy to transmit. P&T seem to be aware that she is up to SOME kind of deception along these lines but, as they say, short of doing a full strip search of her, they can't technically say how she's doing it, even though they know essentially what she's doing. So this comes off as kind of a win by technicality.
I don't know if Rebecca did it this way, but it is certainly possible to "see" with your ears. personally i can do that quite well myself. she asked for simple, but not too simple shape for a reason. if you're standing close to the board and shape is being drawn with a special marker on special board that makes more noise than it should, then it's definetely possible listening what was drawn. you can literally track the source of sound and determine what was drawn. HOWEVER i did notice that she had oppertunity to stick something in her ear while Teller was putting the fold on, she stuck her fingers quite close to her ears, from that camera angle it's not possible to tell whetever she put something in her ear or not. other method would be to have display inside the fold, even tho Teller checked it, you can tell that it has something solid inside of it and when Teller is putting it on, you can see her adjusting the fold, which could be because she is making sure the display part can be seen. it only needs very basic display. it can literally be hidden between 2 layers of black, when Teller checked it, he thought it's just normal blindfold that has something solid in it to keep the shape. if it was me, i'd use basic LED display that can be seen thru the inside layer, but when display is off, you won't notice anything.
A lot of blind people "see" with their ears, and like I said with my main comment, I think she did exactly what she said she could do - she could "read" the sounds being made
I think this is only impressive if she does not have an accomplice communicating the answer to her somehow. Otherwise, if someone is aiding her by sending a signal of some sort, it wouldn't have to be transmitted to the pen. Could be tap code pulsing in her shoe, or waistband, or whatever. One techy solution, which I doubt she used, would be to have a system of mesh vibrating points on her back that mimic the pressure the paper feels--then it's like guessing what somebody is drawing on your back. Whatever the case, I think all the patter about the answer forming in her mind is fluff.
I wondered if the reason Teller went in for the hug after the trick was to check for one of those devices on the back, but I agree that's probably a too-cumbersome solution.
I initially thought the same thing, but heck it does not need to be the pen. She could have something strapped to her leg that could quietly vibrate Morris code.
In this instance, she did not perform a "trick" in the classical sense of the term. For this feat, the boys could take her at her word, she truly did decipher the drawing by hearing it. The clue was when she said that she could not hear him all the time as he drew the image. I would recommend placing a separate mike on the board in the future. When one practices this ability 10,000 times, one can train themselves to understand what is being drawn... she was not getting help from anyone in the audience or from any other source in this act. : )
“Like a Mona Lisa or the Picasso” stood out to me the first time I saw this. Just a slip up? Not sure. It could be that “The Picasso” sounds like it could be a ship or leads you in that direction. But it seems relevant that the background has boat shapes on it, or at least a lot of curved lines. I think she just influenced the choice of object. Nothing simple, nothing complex, not a flower. So what are you left with? A house, a cat, a boat? And if you’ve been primed to think of boats, it’s inevitable. The rest is just acting. And I didn’t even mention her legs once.
Everyone wants there to be a gimmick - but it's not required. Teller isn't immune to mentalism. There are only so many things someone would draw with those limitations, then she just does what she actually said she did and match it to small number of: house, boat, bike, dog, car... she might have primed him some too to be more likely than others. It *could* be a signalling device, but it's far from required.
I think she did EXACTLY what she said she was doing. I didn't close my eyes for the trick, but I did for the square, and I guessed she had drawn the square. I really think she could "read" the sounds being made
Look at the placement of the microphone and how the small triangle exactly matches the flag at the top of Teller’s drawing. The board itself resembles the square part of the boat and the background is full of curved lines.
@@organist1982 I think so, it’s not really magic though, it’s taboo only because a few are able to do it, but anyone can learn. It’s really has to do with being focused and blocking out all other things from your mind. That’s why most people aren’t able to accomplish it, it’s the outside chatter that gets in the way.

@@heartofthunder1440 Wasn't the movie "The Men Who Stare at Goats" based on this? Great movie, BTW, but I am of 2 minds whether it can actually be done. I have, in my own mind, been able to transport myself to some place else, but that was more likely just a lucid imagination able to visualize something quite close to reality, rather than some place that actually exists
Fooled by a pair of legs. Nicely done.
A pair of legs wins a pair of kings!!

Lmfao. Oh the visuals one can have on that one. Lmfao.
The trick speaks for itself.
@@ProuvaireJean 😂
Believed it was her pure skill initially, but suprisingly P&T are not buying it 🤯

It seems interesting that she wanted the (quite thick) marker back in her hand.

Camera in the pen?
@@m____w____6981
Maybe. Or a coded vibration.
@@m____w____6981
Definitely the pen, regardless of what it does.
Yes VERY keen to get it back in her open hand. And the way she then felt and held it.
Sounds like a mouse eating in the background.
i kept pausing the video search my room for a mouse, LOL
Charles Ingram was in the audience 😂
a classic, but not only for the fooler magic trick ;)
That was a boat?
Wonderful performance. 🎉
great pins
This show doesnt allow pre-show or stooges. So either pure skill, or the board itself helped her somehow.
Or the inappropriately large marker that she took back.....
"Flower!"
Any wireless device that could send morse code would do.
I had a thing in my mind.
Whatever... She won the trophy

It had to be the marker.
Doubt it. People like to throw off the judges. Like to see her do this turned around no blindfold. Lol

This is just a guess, but I think there was some type of audio device in the blindfold. Maybe a bone conducting device.
Yep I thought the same thing
Peripheral
Correcao;"performance"
Sign language
Morse Code sent to the pen?
Ahhhh, great idea!
The trick is in the pen, guys. She's receiving a radio signal.
I am thinki,ng about "blind language" received into the the pen ?
So easy yet it fooled them
Well… Teller used the marker… but did he check the marker?

Boat or candle
Boat… if it was a candle then the waves would have been a handle for the candle holder… just saying
Morris code to the pen?

True enough
Both your autocorrects are autowrongs 😅
Give the pen what kind of coat?
@@heisenberg69 lol, thanks for the edit!
Device from her inner ear into her mouth.
These devices were first used by special forces way back in the 80s.
Looks more like a candle
seems her pen could vibrate for specific shapes, square, banana, semi circle - bottom first, top last
Or just morse code spelling it out.
@@stephenlovell1693 yeah even better
If i was them, i would shutter into the pen, if you let me search you everywhere, you will get the trophy. Deal?
I'm not entirely sure this was a "trick" so much as a skill. I'm not this good, but I have pretty sensitive directional hearing...
Tiny Morse tapper hidden in clothes?
She said how she did it and still fooled Penn and Teller. All they had to do is repeat what she said, she listened to the sounds the marker made.
No she didn't
True

Pressure plate behind the drawing board. Wired to a telesensory plate on her back.
...or at least that's one way to do it.

Morse code in the marker.
1:06 Well that's not hard to believe because I can suddenly taste with my eyes-what?
She’s a remote viewer
I've wondered if some magicians are perhaps able to do that.
