Absolutely mind-blowing. As for myself, I am fully capable of entering a room already having forgotten why I went there.
Lol
I open the fridge and stare in it like an idiot, closing it baffeled of why I open it.
You told us that twice before already!
@@b4ph0m3tdk9 then go sit down and be like ahh I wanted a drink lol
How did she force the 2? Does anyone know what that move is called
Incredibly impressive. I think it's worth going over how this was done just to show how impressive it is:
There's no force.
It's a marked deck of cards (Penn says "it's right on the mark").
She has memorized the deck order (Penn mentioned memorizing everything), so after Alison takes a card, she looks at the next card on top, can tell what that is from the mark and from memory knows what card should be on top of it.
Then she has the ability to create any of the 52 cards on the cube, she's either memorized an algorithm for each one, or perhaps more impressively, she knows the cube so well that she can move any pieces to any location, and therefor might be able to create any image she wants.
Truly impressive, her memory and muscle memory
I'm not a magician and I don't know how she knows the card but I know the cube and if you know the card it is really simple to create a pattern you want, and learning the cube is peace of cake, I liked a guessing the card part more :)
If this trick was done the way I think it was, Alyson truly had a free choice and could have picked any card from the deck. This means that Sydney is capable of creating every combination of card value and suit on that cube in real time with pure skill. That in itself is completely amazing and although Penn and Teller were able to figure out how it was done, know for fact that neither of them could ever duplicate it. Absolutely incredible!
Yes, not a force. Which makes it 52 times more amazing. And it's remarkable that Sydney can do all that while maintaining the patter that keeps you engaged while the solve is happening.
@@jwolfe01234 that would be mind blowingly insane!
@@RCinginSC That's not how it was done. Alyson could have chosen any card.
@@RCinginSC No, there would be too many ways for the trick to mess up that way. She knew the order of the cards (which is why she never asked Allison to shuffle it) and the cards were marked, so after Allison picked her card, she could look at the mark on the next card to know what Allison chose. After that, she did the cube wizardry, which she could do for any card.
Serious skill on display here from both Ms. Weaver and Mr. Jillette. The skill Ms. Weaver demonstrated should speak for itself. Mr. Jillette's ability to rightfully praise, while hinting, is great as well.
I am envious of both.
This was absolutely incredible. People are saying the actual magic trick involved is easy but even if that were true, the execution and sheer skill involved is just mind-boggling.
I „hate“ you for being able to reveal any card on a 7x7 cube in less time than it takes me to solve a 3x3! Seriously, great skill.
Awesome
Yes
The cube part was just pure skill. The knowing what card she picked was the magic trick part. All together . Mind blowing
"mind blowing" as in a person who doesnt under flight is mind blown? its a simple pattern!
@@danquaylesitsspeltpotatoe8307 This person lectured at ivy league universities and you can't even construct a proper sentence, much less do what Sydney did (or design an airplane for that matter, as you mentioned flight). That you think you could viably take a swing at this individual is truly what's mind-blowing.
@@phrog4662 GREAT LOGICAL FALLACIES - THE TOOL OF THE UNEDUCATED WHO HAS NOTHING VALID TO SAY!
" This person lectured at ivy league universities"
Who? what is their qualifications? what did they lecture?
Who do you think im taking a swing at?
It was at the idiot who doesnt know the stacked deck is a simple pattern thats not hard to remember!
Its a childrens party magician grade trick!
IT IS NOT WORTHY OF THE SHOW!
Im guessing you are so dumb you are also "mind blown" by a person remembering a simple pattern! or learning to use a rubics cube! 🤦♂🤣
Wonderful trick. I believe the mark on the cards is the identity of the card above it so when Alison took her card the one left on top identified what card she took.
Could you please explain how?The cards were shuffled?
They were cut twice. That is hardly a shuffle. Odds are greatly in her favor of choosing 2 cards that were not separated in the cut. And actually, only the first cut might have messed anything up. The second cut meant nothing.
You cant mess the order up with deck cuts....
@@jonglazer9416 Basically it doesnt matter how many time you cut the cards if the cards are marked in circular fashion. As the top of the top most card is the bottom most card always
It's actually much simpler than that. Marked cards can be interrupted. But if you switch the decks, to an all 2 of clubs deck, you can never pick the wrong one, it's practically the biggest force. This is my guess of what happened.
Stilllllll.... if that's the gimmick, until I watch it a second time, I didn't see it but seems the most plausible.
Update: definitely could've been a marked card that was also based on order in the deck.
She was definitely playing the odds though, either cut could've threw it off. But only 2 cuts, lessens that chance.
The trick itself simple enough but I think people are missing the big picture as making any card you need to in a cube that big with that speed is insane. Amazing!
Well she trained for 10 years and practiced Rubik her entire life, of course it's impressive, but it's her life passion somehow.
Easy to figure out in principle, but likely only one person on Earth that can do it
Yeah that's the thing with this trick: there is only one logical way for this trick to be done, which makes it very difficult to fool P&T.
The comedic timing was also incredible (adding on to penns praise)! So much fun to watch!
I love how the moment they praised her, her expression changed cuz she knew that they weren’t fooled.
So she memorized the order of the cards in the deck.
Cutting the deck does not change the order of the cards (think about the deck as being on a ring and you are just taking cards from the top and bringing them around the ring to the bottom.)
The deck was marked and she knew what the "new" top card under the "old" top one was by looking at the new top card when she put the deck back into the box. And when she suggests that there is no way that she could know what the card was, and neither could Allison, that was the deception suggestion. The Ouija and the devil references were also a good suggestion to throw you off. She obviously knew what the card was before she started manipulating the cube.
Penns key words: hit the mark, the algorithms aren't the only thing you memorized, good card selection.
And very entertaining.
It's not memorizing the deck, per se, but setting it up according to a system. Starting with whatever card you want (usually an ace), you place them in order where each card is three more than the last, wrapping around when you get to the end. You use a different suit for each of the first four cards, and keep the suits in the same order throughout. Then, when you see the card before or after, you add or subtract three and all you have to remember is the order of the suits. You can see this setup exists when she spread the deck (2-5-8, 6-9-Q, etc.). The easiest way to do it is to keep the suits in alphabetical order, but it's not necessary as long as you can remember the order you're using. I wish I could remember the name of the system so I could give it proper credit.
That aside, the cube work is magical in and of itself. This sort of mentalist routine is one of the few tricks I can do because I have absolutely no hands, but I couldn't imagine doing it using her method.
Thank for this, after about 5 minutes of wrapping my head around this thought process I got it! Lol
ZyliahWar 🥺❣😭🤗🤗🤗 you are better than those with hands.. in sooo many ways
It’s probably the Si Stebbins deck stack.
@@vickielawson3114 It was a marked Si Stebbins deck setup. You can see the setup in the spread. But wow.. still hugely impressive that she can cube out any card and suit combination on the cube and that quickly.
What a great way to introduce the cubing community into the magic community! As a member of both, really enjoyed it
the devil joke is absolutely hilarious. loved the delivery of it as well
the cards are in a certain order...cutting them doesnt change the order...so peeking at the bottom card while putting it in the box lets you know what the card was on the top...the true amazing part is working the cube to make it into what the card was...if the cards were shuffled then it would make it not work
Yeah, but even if they are, how can she know where Alyson will cut. It can be any card
@@TheJovan211 lets say you have 1-10 and you cut now on top would be say 8 9 10 but then the rest would be 1-7....you still know the card ORDER so if you flip to the ten you will know 1 is next....
I was pretty confident that this wouldn't fool Penn and Teller, but honestly, if the card selection part was removed and she simply cubed a displayed card by itself, it would still be super impressive.
Forget the cards... the fact that you are able to memorize how to reveal any playing card selection that quickly on a 10x10 cube is beyond magic and into the realm of deep-space celestial sentience. UnbeLIEvable!
I'd probably need 3000 years at my current rate of learning abilities to reach her level.
And being entertaing while doing the solve. Amazing
Just wonderful NeeNee. You did great. You were very poised and well spoken. I'm so proud of you. Love Butchie.
Yes...well said
The way she handles that cube is fascinating, it's always a joy to watch dexterous people at their best. That must take a LOT of practice. Kudos!
That was crazy how you worked the “FU” into the cube as well as the top card, too bad you didn’t get to show it .
thank goodness "winning the contest" doesn't really matter here because you deserve everything and you will have it
Just the dexterity and memory you need to work with a cube that big is amazing. The magic was just a bonus on top.
Just watching her hands and the cube spin alone looks like pure magic! Honestly I would love to see more of your magic. You have a wonderful way to marry something palpable that we all relate to (the cube) with math and magic. I think thats a great formula for amazing magic.
This becomes so much more impressive when you try to handle a cube like that and feel how difficult that is !!
25,000 hours?! Omg that's dedication. I had a rubik's cube from a secret Santa when i was 14. I tried it for 5 minutes, got mad and threw the cube. I didn't know at the time but the color pieces breaks off.
OKAY JUST FINISHED YOUR PERFORMANCE PART. I HAVE NOT A CLUE. This was incredibly impressive
...so was it just math? Not that it makes sense to me, but i kept hearing "algorithm"
She memorised the order of the deck and looked at the bottom card so she knows what the top would have been.
She also memorised how to get from a perfectly solved cube to displaying any number and symbol in the cards.
It's all completely memory based so could really only be done by people who practiced cubing for many years.
Basically this is 100% cube skill attached to a very basic magic.
It's impressive but very odd choice for a magic show
An algorithm is a series of steps needed to achieve a solution.
For example a 3x3 cube has an algorithm per stage, some mirror algorithms (for example if you sometimes need to move a square to the right and in other times to the left) etc, even in the small 3x3 cube we are taking about sequences that are pretty long, so presumably in the big cube she needed to figure out and then memorise various sequences of steps she would then use for example to "draw" one of the leaves of the club.
such a great performance and as far as im aware, incredibly innovative idea - i LOVE the cube being the one who has the knowledge and uses you to reveal the answer. so good! excited to see what types of tricks you come up with in the future :) !!
It was wonderful, I really enjoyed watching this show
Wish you the best in everything and keep going!!
I went into this thinking it was a force… which in itself is still impressive to create the number and suit. But then Penn all but said that she’d memorised all 52 ways to create the result… which is just nuts.
Penn said something about "right on the mark" and "algorithms... not the only thing you memorized ". So either a marked deck or a memorized deck. Penn covering all his bases there. And this is my problem with it. It's either one or the other. My guess it's a marked deck because she smiled at that hint.
@@georgeb9088 I mean, it's most definitely marked. But that's not the trick. In fact, there isn't really a trick - the mark is obvious. She's memorized how to create 52 different outcomes with the cube, that's the incredible part. It's not a magic trick, it a feat of pure intelligence.
@@monodescarado If you listen closely Penn said that those algorithms for creating the card out of that cube are not the only things she memorized. So he was hinting that she memorized the deck and had a peak on the first card.
@@georgeb9088 Right, but none of that matters. Anyone can use marked cards, and there are a hell of a lot of people that can memorize the order of a deck.
But the important thing is that it's a free choice. Which means she needs 52 multiple outs... all of which need to be made a massive rubix cube.
If we're just judging it by the magic, the trick isn't very good. She's not a magician and she looked positively awkward on stage. But what she is is a savant that can memorize how to create 52 different permeatations on a large rubix cube.
Let's just say she had the whole order memorized, so Allison could pick ANY card. You would still have to memorize the steps on the cube at the same time as remembering the order of the cards. This girl is an absolute genius!
But how did she know which card she picked? Only thing i can imagine is that the cards were marked. Like „right on the mark“.
Great job, Sydney! So much skill and joy on show here.
even if it didn't fool them, it was still an incredible trick. some magicians have quick hands. you make them look like an arthritic 90 year old.
seems like a simple force with a very difficult reveal. I can't solve a 3 by 3, so solving that puzzle is insane.
That would have been the easy way. It wasn't a force. That's why this is not just a difficult reveal, but a COMPLETELY INSANE reveal.
The most impressive thing is there’s no “magic” involved. Just pure skills.
Wow congratulations Sydney. That was amazing!
Mind-blowing, wonderful skills and quite a refreshing act! Too bad it didn’t fool them, but damn this was just wonderful to watch
A genius lends their hand to a magick trick. Stellar performance.
Love this trick - great job!
What a great trick and a great routine.
Awesome Sydney!! You looked very excited as Alyson revealed her card!!!
Wonderful trick amazing just to watch those hands!
Sydney, you're a Cube genius, so it was only the well-known method for the magic that let you down. Talk to an established magician and get that side of the equation to a higher level, then add your unique skill, and I'm sure you could come back and blow their minds.
I believe P&T have seen every card force known to man. Very difficult to fool them in that regard. Still amazing Cube work. 👏
I've seen comments saying it was a setup and marked deck . Now I'm not sure if two cards were trimmed forcing the cuts or was each card setup in such a way to indicate the card on top of it 🤔
Amazing display of skill
Absolutely incredible! You're amazing!
wow. just the sheer fact you found a way to make that pattern and got it down to a tee is incredible
holy shit the skills to make a fucking number out of that
amazing
I love your accent and it reminds me of my college years in NC.
That was incredible. Actually blown away.
Yes, go ahead and throw jokes around while doing the most elaborate reveal of Fool Us history. Might've not been the most fooling of performances, but certainly impressive.
Very unusual Rubik’s cube magic. I enjoyed . Thank you
Congratulations. This is great.
Good for you exposing the world to cubing and getting to be on the show! Thats insane!
I love how a red center is on the white side.
So I get how how she knew what the card was, but being able to manipulate the cube into showing the answer is insane.
I don't. How did she figure it out?
@@Nuclearburrit0 marked deck
@@iami3rian394 but she didn't look at the card at any point before the reveal.
@@Nuclearburrit0 I'll give you a hint, if you'd like. The "mixed up deck of cards" isn't randomly mixed. She knows the order of the cards.
@@iami3rian394 ah, yeah I get it then.
Fun performance! Very good! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Sydney you’re amazing and you’re so respectful human being
This is a great trick 👏
This is the most terrific card magic that any begineer can learn, the card is not mixup and its arrange properly by plus 3
You are truly a gem Sydney!
That was amazing Sydney loved the trick
Wow that's really great! I'm only at 40s avg with the standard 3x3, I know the CF, getting the first few OLL algs in but very very slowly. That said, I am already taking my step into the bigger cubes, and no not towards the 4x4 or above, but towards the tesseract and the other higher dimension ones. Btw what I always wondered is why it's called an nxn cube, I mean it's a cube, all sides are the same, just call it an n cube.
This trick is impressive not by how she did it, but the way she did it! Really love it!
Like penn said. Somewhat simple trick but the execution is so impressive. She may be the only person able to execute this trick as such with her ability to memorize and retort algorithms necessary. She is a genius playing a finite game
That was sooo good! I hope you return to P & T and would love to see you on AGT!
this was my favorite one so far
Being Hungarian, it'd really heartwarming to see you cubing on this insane level. Also, congrats on your performance!
Ugyanitt bojler eladó 🇭🇺 😎
Cards has its individual mark & Order. Sydney know the picked card by the top card. Cube part was great.
Your explanation really sucks.
Man this was sick as hell and the patter was great too I love this trick!
Great job
The moment I realised what was about to happen I was like "THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE GONNA DO WHAT I'M THINKING!" and you did it! That was just brilliant and flawlessly executed! Please keep it up!
Skilled handling of the cube but a simple handling of the cards meant that Penn and Teller or any seasoned magician would not be fooled.
Amazing
Good trick, keep up the good work ❤
Amazing trick and Sydney is a legend
you can see how the deck is prearranged, all numbers are in sets of 3, and all suits are following the order spade, diamond, clubs, hearts. She checks the top card after the pick and calculates the previous one taken. Then she proceeds to do the cube, which she is a champion, of course
is it bad that the card trick is almost irrelevant to me? i mean it's great, sure, but the CUBE. the absolute skills there, i just cannot even fathom what i'm seeing much less have it end up spelling something!
Wow! I'm speechless. What an awesome trick.
First she learned how to do a combination (suit+number) of all the 52 cards on 6*6 cube!!
Then she memorised a random order of the deck!!!
That's mind blowing
No switched deck! You can tell by the keenness to hide the switched deck in the box! 😁 It was cut out most prob because it was not fooling the camera! In the part of the show missing!
Force card. Plus a pre prepared Rubix cube which when solved for all colours reveals 2 clubs. She solved the Rubix cube as if solving a normal one for all colours except when she's done it has 2 clubs
@@HappyBloke81 there was no force or deck switch. What would be the point of switching the deck after Alison selected the card??? The cards are marked, she has the order of the deck memorized, and she knows which card was before the one left at the top after the selection from memory. She actually does have to memorize all the algorithms for presenting the cube at the end of the trick. It’s simply a matter of practice. Extremely impressive, and not easily replicated.
this was impressive
There's a reason you asked for the deck to be cut and stacked and not shuffled :) But regardless it is still an awesome routine! You are way more proficient with that cube than I ever was with a 3x3
so how did she knew the card?
@@MetalGuitarTimo Memory, cuts don't change the order of a deck no matter how many you make, she looked at the bottom card while putting the deck back, the bottom card is the one before the top one, the deck looks shuffled but in fact it isn't.
What a great trick. You fooled me kiddo! Great job!
Good job Sydney. Really fablouse. 👏
My brain just melted. I failed algebra 101 in college and had to cheat the rest of the way through school.
i have no idea how she did this trick. that is crazy. nice job sydney!
If you want to know... Read on....
Of course she knows the card before she touches the cube. How? Well the deck is in a prearranged order that is meant to look random. she has this order memorized. After Allison has taken her card, the magician looks at the bottom of the deck while putting the cards in the box. Knowing that card, she just has to think what the card next to it is, and that's Allison's choice.
Amazing!
You rock!!! More!!!!
It really sucks that in terms of magic this is a really basic trick because the sheer incredible skill it takes to memorize all the algorithms for 52 cards is astonishing and deserves a mountain of praise. Take the trick up to the next level by perfecting a better selection and this is a serious killer
Who said she knows 52 algorithms and not only one?
She only needs to memorize 17 algorithms, 4 suits and 13 numbers.
I think she only has to memorize one, the 2 of clubs
@@danielal3868 Allison cut the deck
@@thememaster7 So?
*Spoiler*
If I heard Penn right, it was a marked deck. Like he said, in addition to memorizing the tiny marks, did she literally memorize 52 different results on that cube? If true, that is fucking insane.
She didn’t memorise the results she used commutators to swap the peices to show the number and suit
@@rujon288 what? How does that work? Sounds wild
Yeah, I feel like this trick would be much easier by just using a force lol. But very impressive.
@@jayblack5231 czcams.com/video/n3G1DfwTkSc/video.html this explains it kind of
That was AWESOME!
OH I don't think Penn was able to capture Sydney's intelligent ... This girl is a savage on that cube it's incredible ... magic requires doing dirty work but on this trick ... there isn't really cheating ... I did not feel I'm being tricked at any moment ... everything looked so fair and seamless like a breeze .. Awesome job I can't believe I'm watching this a year later
Great trick. I figured out how she knew the card. From that point on was the crazy skills with that cube which I cannot fathom.
How’d she know the card?
@@bransonmiller6550 As a card magician myself, not going to share. It is quite easy though.
The cube part is not that difficult if you know the basics of the cube. It's relatively simple to switch the middle parts using commutators. The speed is impressive, but the concept is straight forward.
@@jimmckay2337 Deck switch clearly! I dont know how these people come up with the memorise the deck and count where the cut is!
Thats a hell of a trick
Absolute Genius
Brilliant!!!
Skill-Overkill! Awesome!
Unlike other people here, I'm not trying to understand how a magic trick is done. I just want to be entertained and amazed, and you did just that, Thank you!
So well performed wow!!! You fooled me 😂
Every thing was pure perfection 👌🧡🍻
That is by far the best cube trick I have ever seen! I am just stunned by this!
There was no cube trick. Just a card trick.
Uau! Just amazing, beautiful performance. I think you can return with a trick or your own and fool them.
Penn is a master of Code Talk.
I have caught a few of his codes and figured out what he said or which trick or maneuver he was referring to but most of the time I have No Clue.
While the magic was not impossible to figure out, wow, the memorization and dexterity is amazing! I am glad they brought you on so you could show off a little bit lol
Do you know how she knew it was 2 of clubs?
@@Skatelifefool Marked deck.
@@barisyakut7970 It can't be true...she did not see at all before Alyson sat on it
@@truthonly2114 It is. After Alyson picked her card, the performer carefully checks the top card which is enough to figure out the selected card. Penn also says “right on the mark” which is a code for marked deck and also check her reaction when Penn says that.
