    One of the best routine I've seen on Fool Us or just in general. No convoluted tricks, no constant misdirection with useless props and jokes, just a simple trick well presented that feels like real magic. I loved it.

    the routine is awesome. the script and the effect is nowhere else to be seen. but... teller was 73 years when this was filmed.. and watching at his face, even taking into account all he knows about magic, but seeing his face, being able to be surprised once again... priceless. gabriel, you're one of a kind

    What I like about the Fool Us trophy is that it actually means something, they don't give them out to just anyone, P & T are an excellent pair of judges as they are extremely experienced. It's a good competition. I'm so glad this close up magic is making a comeback, for so long the big grand magic was popular but there is nothing to magic that uses stooges and camera tricks.

      Exceptions prove the rule. Why did Penn reassure viewers that he had asked the producers if they had "made adjustments" there? Because producers make adjustments from time to time and you can find several such "adjustments" in FU !!! In this case, there were no "adjustments", because shellfishers with sponges are very good even on the street when they rob. :)

    I definitely saw some of the transfer moves from under the table or below the table, where we couldn't see. But, even so, the routine is difficult to figure out and it is genuinely amazing at times. Even if you see one of those moves I can't explain most of the routine at all. Its very good.

    WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ROUTINE! Sponge balls are so accessible for beginning magicians, to the point that I feel they are so under appreciated. I had no idea they could be this amazing, though!
