Rick, I had a blast sharing the stage with you!!! I still can’t believe we fooled them!!! 👏👏👏
Can’t wait until VEGAS!!!!
What
Me too!
how did u do it???????
@@RickSmithJr yes!!!
So excited to share our episode of Fool Us!!! Hope you guys all come to Vegas and watch this LIVE!!!
Dear Rick
let ne work for you and your channel. Please
that was an exellent show
Awesome performance!
My best guess on how its done would be that 19 of the 24 Targets are Tower Bridge and the other 5 they have shown, have some sort of different material at the back so no matter what, a playing card will never stick to it. It will only stick to the 19 Tower Bridges
I mean they also deliberately chose to only show items above a normal throwing range. It's kind of obvious that most of these are the tower bridge.
I don't think it's a different material. At 4:37 there was a card stuck in the Lithuanian building.
It's possible that there were a bunch more tower bridges. My own gut feeling was that the card image was paradolia - they looked more like the pyramids than the tower bridge to me, but I'm not sure that would work for Pisa and Eiffel (two others shown).
Great trick, however it was done :)
I would guess that sticking a card in one of the others wouldn't work.
@@Cthulhus_Mum I am pretty sure world champion can throw cards much harder than someone doing for the first time, so some of them could have been coated to just make them much harder to stick to.
Thank you for not spoiling the outcome in the video title! It makes it SO much more enjoyable to not know and WONDER if you win the trophy or not... fantastic thank you!
I think that the outcome was spoiled by the mere fact that Rick Smith Jr & Rokas were in the title
It says "FOOLED" on the thumbnail so it was obvious they fooled Penn & Teller
The performance was top notch. About the method - out of the 24 targets only 5 were turned over as proof, so there is a possibility that all the other 19 targets are Tower Bridge. The rhyming of the two targets and giving Penn one of the same 5 is suspicious. The real trick is how to puncture one of the 5 proof targets, but not let it be punctured by Penn and Teller after that. It could be that these 5 targets have hard transparent coating and require a special throwing card.
Wow! I love your thinking process on this!!!
@@RickSmithJr Nice seing the magician answering to the guessee, first time I see that, it s very nice
@@moimoiettoi13 I would add not special card just resistant to card both the partisapants can pry throw the card much much harder and puncture the covering...
they probably would have guessed that too but they they only get one shot, feindshly clever in its simplicity.
but that would be a mechanism, no ?
Absolutely crazy.
So honored to share the stage with you Rick throughout the years! Now you are fooling two of my most legendary magicians ever??? Inspiring me to step my yoyo performance up!
Love to see it.
Go for it! It’s gonna be fun!
When did you share the stage with him lol
@@sentinautt many times over the years. Also coming up soon for Magic Gives Back! Check out his IG for more info.
The two of you should absolutely work together and develop your own show. Each of you are awesome, but the two of you together are unparalleled
Thanks Jay! :)
One of the most unique Pen and Teller performances I've seen!
I am guessing 4-6 Tower Bridge plates were on the board and were a bit soft so card could penetrate more easily. The one plate that Rick stuck with a card was on the hard side, but he is good enough to stick a card in a harder surface.
🤔🤔🤔
What if there is just a method to just appear the card in this position?
This was my thought too, and is absolutely brilliant if so. Even better than any other more elaborate trickery because it combines their throwing mastery.
Let me add, Rick, that your frisbeeing the plate to Penn was also part of the trick. You did not want P&T coming up and examining the board, so you threw him a piece hoping this satisfied his curiosity. Well played.
@@BruceLinderPT Possible but by that point, they weren't allowed another guess and would have also been satisfied with their word because judges are monitoring it anyway. Also... that wasn't a real guess. P&T stated the obvious thought many might have had just to satisfy the audience. A real guess is spoken in code only typically.
Respect for not spoiling the outcome in the title!
I'm so pumped. I've been watching both you and fool us forever, and y'all got em. So good.
Congratulations! When they drop the codes and say straight out what they thought happened, you know a trophy's coming down!
Ive always had the idea and tried to creat magic using card throwing but ive never seen anyone do it until you two. This was a pleasure to watch congratulations!
I think you guys did a great job here and in the end Rick was able to show that not all the target could look like what they created. I look forward to seeing more from the both of you guys in the future!
Congrats on appearing Fool Us, guys. 10/10 act.
thanks :)
I don't think they forced the tower bridge! When they turned around the board they were throwing the cards at, you can almost see a grid there. I think they threw the cards in a way that they can turn the squares of the grid so that the thrown cards can look like any of the pictures behind the targets.
Penn happened to hit the bridge, so at some point while they were showcasing the targets that Penn could have hit, they switched around the grid so that it shows the tower bridge!
Really great trick, and great card throwing skills!!
I didn’t think of that but that’s very possible. I was thinking they palmed a sticker or something somehow of the bridge to put on the plate when he pulled it off
So happy for both of u man
Been following you for quite a while now and I knew you guys would kill it👏
Pure talent! Awesome job guys. Well deserved!
Great job! Love your tricks and tutorials as well as that show!
Love to see Penn & Teller fooled, and it was such a pleasure that it was coming from a dynamic duo such as yourself 🥳 love the magic, but boy did I have some trouble moving my mouse on my mobile device 😅
Lol
Hearty Congratulations both of you 🍾💐! this is great and I love how Rick threw the disc at Penn! 😀
that was my favorite moment :D
Speculation about the trick:
I am wondering about multiple outs as a component of the trick- the drawing of the bridge could have passed for the Pyramids of Giza in a pinch. I don't think this super likely, and if it's part of the trick it's not all of it.
The way that they were taught to throw the card might cause it to go left more often, if they emulated his motion? But I don't think that's it, either.
In this clip there's a jump around 5:19 and the board is in a different position, which means they were touching the board while Penn and Teller were talking away, and off camera. I think they did some slight of hand that the audience wouldn't have noticed, but Penn and Teller might have if they had been looking. This wouldn't be a "camera trick" (not allowed) if the trick could be performed in front of a normal crowd without them seeing something wrong.
My other idea is that Rick had some kind of decal that easily and quickly stuck to the disk (static electricity?). We've certainly seen sleight of hand of that caliber on the show before- things not caught even on a 0.25x speed replay... This might explain Rokas's brief confusion about a "mechanism". It's not a mechanism (gimmicked) if it's just skill!
There might be some way of gimmicking the drawing board...? You can see it's made of segments, but that might be a production limitation rather than a necessary part of the trick. If you combine this with my 1st comment about the Pyramids and Bridge being almost interchangeable- that would be my final guess.
For what it's worth, I don't **really** imagine I've figured out something P&T didn't, but it's fun to guess.
I remember maybe close to 10 years ago you performed at my school 😂. It’s great to see how far you have come!
I love both Rick's stuff and Penn & Teller... So I had to love this
I was just at the show you performed at pack 303 Blue & Gold!
I loved it! 😍
I really loved how dynamic this performance was, and for once the intro actually enhanced the actual act on the stage. Great job you guys and also loving all the guesses you've commented on here already:)
That might be the most unique trick I've seen yet. Dig it.
Šaunuolis Rokai, linkėjimai iš Lentvario :)
Hey ! Both of you Nice to see you on stage. Bravo ! :-)
Rick “I had a blast sharing the stage with you and this trophy with Ruckus for 5 secs, now gimme!!”Yeeeet ✌️
Dude! This trick is so Perfect!
Great job! I had fun watching you at Silver Dollar City and talking with you for a while. You're a wonderful performer and a great guy in person too. I've been waiting to see how your trick on here turned out! Congrats!
So glad you remembered to watch!!!
Wonderful! This bridged the gap perfectly between the last Fool Us I saw and the one I’m going to watch now.
a great trick, and very skillfull. You both worked good as a team! i am impressed! *thumbs up*
You guys killed it. So happy for you both that you got the trophy 🏆 too👍😊👍😊👍👏👏🤜🤛🍺
What makes this trick great is that it really switches your attention to the targets, not the thing that was DELIBERATELY hidden from audience view... the artwork of the bridge. If that didn't have anything to do with it, then the artwork could have been shown already and Penn's hit target would be the trick reveal, for an even greater effect. There is even seams in the board. You can see them easily after they flip it around. My guess is that it's some type of panel system that can change the artwork. Possibly remotely (notice how thick the board is, plenty of room for mechanics to handle panel shifting).
all the trick lied in the cards, see how they gave them a new deck of cards to penn and teller not the one used by Rick so card can stick only to the certain disc(s). And not all the discs were shown so we never know how many had London Bridge on them.
P.S it was always going to be London Bridge.
@@hannanatiqsiddiqui How in the world would a different set of cards control which target they could stick to? The targets were painted styrofoam how could the cards possibly be rigged to stab into to certain ones? Even if that was possible, they could be standing there all day if they kept trying to go for a target that didn't allow a card to stick to it. If you think it was a Tower Bridge "force" then it's more reasonable that the non-bridge targets themselves don't allow cards to be stuck to them. In magic, it's usually always the most simple and obvious solution, and the most obvious solution here is to focus on exactly what is hidden from the audience view. If the drawing board didn't have anything to do with it, they would have shown it before they even threw.
@@djlowtek My guess (and this is only if I were to attempt it, but I'm neither a card thrower nor a magician): You know that a relatively unskilled card thrower like Penn/Teller aren't going to hit the higher-up ones in a way that sticks, so those can all be "proof" pieces. The middle/lower ones you have a few proof pieces with either thicker styrofoam (that's harder for a card to penetrate, using gimmicked/thicker cards, or just relying on your skill as a better card thrower to be able to get it in one of them). This essentially forces the plates that Penn/Teller can get their cards into to be the Tower Bridge (of which you have many many chances for them to get it right).
I don't think the plates have moving parts, I don't think the image was switched when he held it up to his chest (with the image reversed so we couldn't see it - though it is possible), and I don't think the tower bridge on the board they threw the cards at was manipulated in any way after they threw the cards.
Kudos! Really cool trick!
Here's how I think you guys did it: As opposed to what Penn suggested, it was only the disc with the Tower Bridge on the back that a card could actually get stabbed on. Much as the back sides were truly different, only the front side of Tower Bridge was able to hold a card. So, no matter how long they tried, it would end only when they struck that particular disc.
Oooh, that’s a good idea, but you are not there yet, any one of the 24 targets could have been stabbed with a card!
@@RickSmithJr Well in that case I'll put my money on the screen to which you two threw cards somehow enabling the pattern to change depending on what disc was hit at the other side of the stage :)
I was thinking the same thing as you Murat. Mr Rick smith said all targets are stab able. Maybe, they are. But also, how much of each individual target will hold a card. What percent of each individual target can or may get stabbed?
he honed in on the word mechanism that wasn't accurate, so basically the pictures can be changed, but not via a mechanism
@@albertlwj Maybe how they pick them up to turn over, as opposed to how someone else would... Like, all of them having the Tower Bridge as the bottom image, an external layer with another image to remain on the surface when they pick up the struck disc?
Love to see this, such a good and creative performance
Awesome! Congratulations to you both!
Sensational trick!! Great work guys!!
Rick and Rokas are back in business!
So awesome I loved it.. and the Omage Penn gave to Ricky J… absolutely amazing magician.. was epic
these guys are amazing looking forward to more from them
Amazing act!!! And you guys fooled penn and teller. Magnificent
You guys got em!!!!!!! Woww what a trick! Congratulations 🔥🔥🔥
That is so awesome congratulations to the both of you
This was a great performance. I'm sure that Penn was furious when he caught the disc and inspected it.
well earned trophy guys. hope they gave one to each of you
That was a cool trick. 100% original. I love that.
Penn usually tries to talk in code. He didn't this time. Once he realized you had it,there was no hesitation. That was the only guess they had. Nice job
Btw, how the show works - whether magician fooled Penn and Teller or not is decided BEFORE Penn even starts talking. During interview Penn and Teller will tell their guess to backstage judges, and than discuss how to commune this to the contestant.
So if Penn doesn't talk in code - you know it was a fooler.
@@konstantintarasov1971 How do you know that mate ?
@@mathieugonon3574 producers of the show discussed it on some podcast, after one of magicians was accused of lying to Penn.
@@konstantintarasov1971 thanks a lot of the precision :)
Congrats guys, that was awesome
Congratulations guys! awesome trick!
Just saw this on TV.. I imagine that only the London Bridge discs were penetrable, the others the cards couldn’t stick into.
Such a great trick by two of the best in the business! Great job Rick and Rokas!
Thank you Kent :)
You did a great job I watched it live!
Congrats, cool performance and I do believe a cooler friendship.
A great innovative and fun routine! I liked the hundred dollar bet too. LOL
I met Rokas in Hot Springs during Maxwell Blade's Festival of Magic a few years ago. Amazon dude. Love the magic!
Who knew that Rick Smith Jr.’s debut of magic, (that I know of) would be a fooler! I wish you could’ve shown a little bit of your Modern Rogue episode cuz you seemed familiar, but I couldn’t place you, then I remembered the Modern Rogue episode where you taught Brian and Jason to throw playing cards. Did Brian help you at all too? Cuz I feel like he would love this trick! If he didn’t help you, you should go back on his show and see if you can fool him!
Brian would love this trick! I should reach out and see if we can do something again soon!
Awesome job guys!
Watching again!! Love this!
The only thing that caught my eye is one of them was really close to the board behind the other magician when he said please take your seats.
My guess is that the switch of the picture was done at that very moment unless this is what Pen was already referring to. I just noticed it was prime time with no eyes on their board.
Super cool Rick 😊 you’re awesome dude!!
You guys deserve two trophies
Congratulations you guys!!! VERY GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!
Dude!!! And just think we got some inspiration from your show the night before!
What an originl trick. Im Impressed. Wtg guys.
Helios from Greece.
I hope you fool them again next year to restore balance! Splitting a trophy in half requires throwing some clever trick.
Haha
GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! WOO!!!!!
Great work man ❤
Awesome job dude! That’s Amazing
Good job guys! Now it’s time to start catching a signed card in your teeth! That would be a great “spin” on the trick.
Wow, awesome guys!
Im thinking of magnets on the card and the plates…
Really love the trick
Great magic and skill juggling trick. I was interested and looked through the comments for theories on probable methods and after reading........I thought, instead of guessing how it is done...how about this approach (the 1-p approach). This trick would have really blown some minds if after inviting Penn and Teller to the stage, have them turn away, and then reveal all 24 "locations" to Allyson and the audience. One and only one being the "tower bridge from London" of course. Flipping them back, of course, and then Penn and Teller open fire. And then for Penn and Teller to nail the "tower bridge".
If you guys could pull that off in 24 hours, you would have fooled me, and maybe even have gotten Penn to say "You fooled us" instead of "bring down the trophy".
Great trick and thank you for not revealing in the title whether you fooled them or not. :)
It is spoiled in the preview picture though.
I always thought card throwers used metal cards. I’m gobsmacked you can throw normal playing cards with such force!!! Combining with mentalism just sensational. Energetic performance!!
I feel like the other guy who said "I'm not sure..." Almost makes them not getting the trophy 🤣
Awesome trick. Im thinking that target was the only target that a card would have stuck in. There may have been a few more, but were all the bridge. If i had done that, i would have made 5 or so duplicate targets that were stickable (for lack of better term). And obviously remembered where they were. Not sure if im right, but congratulations to fooling them. Awesome work and a good story behind it.
congrats Rick
I have been subbed since you have had 360k subs and I even have your cards
Keep it up
Very nice trick! 🙌
(I think the magic was in the board 🤔 the way I think the trick was done is: some of the icons were the same, it's almost impossible to remember/know 24 different places in the world and statistically for people who have never trough cards will hit the middle
1:51 "Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer"
This is the best trick ever 🏆
Congratulations! Nice trick 🙂
Some are wood and some are not. Only need 5 to be soft enough to have a card stuck in it . 5 the same strategically positioned would be hit quick. So that part is easy. The picture being created with the cards was easy as well. Because each time they switched that allowed a opportunity to remove the bad throws and keep throwing cards until it somewhat resembles a bridge.
I have been watching Rick Smith Jr for a long time. I still can't throw a playing card worth a damn. I'm glad they won a trophy though.
Great trick! The key were those drone Bluetooth gimmick cards. Each has a little camera to check the drawing picked. Then, each card only had to flew to the correct position for that drawing. That is why the board was turned around. Well done anyways.
You're kidding 😀
Bluetooth Playing cards is the best guess I’ve seen so far!
@@RickSmithJr Magnetic paper and magnets. Only the right plate had the correct charge to attract and the rest were set to repel...hence why the plates were so thick.
@@chrisjohnson769 Or every plate was the Tower Bridge except for the five they turned over, and those five were built especially resistant so Rick could stick one in his demonstration, but Penn and Teller couldn't.
GREAT job guys
Nice skill.
Well done.
Sveikinimai!
Gonna take a guess, hope I'm wrong. The board the bridge was "drawn" on was made up of smaller squares of foam. I bet the foam squares could be rotated, and the cards could have formed an approximation of any of the 24 locations. P&T had a free choice, and the image could always be changed.
Great guess!!! I wish it was that easy, however the drawing was completely real! This was the first time ever that I was able to combine magic and card throwing.
@@RickSmithJr I'll add my guess on top of this one since it's related. I think the board where the bridge was "drawn" was digital and made up of different images of thrown cards to make up the different shapes. Then whichever one they hit, you could rearrange that board to choose the one selected. I noticed that while you were throwing the initial round, there were mistakes, missed cards, and bounces. None of those occurred during the more difficult "throwing" of the image. Loved the trick and the performance!
Congrats on fooling those guys , i see from the comments people think they figured out how it was done LOL , but personally i just enjoyed the routine
Together they are "Rock Smith"!
This trick is so so so smart! I am a magician and I thought about 15 minutes and finally I got a solution. This is definitely a trick designed to fool magicians. Every magician will have the same thought as Penn did. This trick is something between force and covering all the choices (multiple-outs) . So smart! So wonderful!
Nice one. 2:35 bottom card is under the visible line, 6:11 there is no card at that position. So magic is in the board. I was also expected that they were able to only targets with London bridge. I like how Rokas didn't believe they won
At 2:45 he removed that card as they turn the board. But yeah that board is very think, would be room for some shenanigans. However I believe only a few targets are soft enough for a none pro-card thrower to get a card stuck.
Awesome act!!! :)
I think there was a magnet involved between the cards and the main target
Lol you could tell Penn was like ... ya ... I know how to throw cards :P
Came to my school when I was in like 8th grade this is cool
the circles with the bridge on it (which there were multiples besides the plants they showed) were made of a softer material. P&T's throws would've just bounced off the non bridge circles. Surprised they didn't figure this one out.
I'm guessing every disk was the Tower Bridge, except for the ones they showed the image of. Those five disks were designed so they'd be way harder to stick, so that Rick, "The Greatest Card Thrower in the World" Smith Jr. could stick one in his demonstration, but Penn and Teller, "I just learned how to throw a playing card a minute ago" would stick a Tower Bridge copy way before they stuck one of the other images.
