    Memorization is a big part of Siegfried's trick. He truly has an incredible mind. Since the cards were never shuffled, he set up the deck in a way that only HE knows. This way he knows which card follows which. First Penn selected a card and then he asked Teller to take the next card. But when putting the cards back he again asked Penn to place his card back first and Teller to put his on top. This reversed the order of the original set up. When the cards are separated into 2 piles, Siegfried asked whose card is in this pile. Penn said his. Siegfried knowing how he originally stacked the deck would see which card did not belong. He did the same for Tellers card. A simple way to understand this is, take a deck of cards at home and set them up red, black, red, black. Have someone pick one card and another spectator pick the next. Then tell the first person to put their card back and then the second person. When you separate the deck into 2 piles of 26 cards one pile will be all red except for one black card and the other pile will contain all black cards with only one red card. Of course Siegfrieds trick is much more difficult and you have a lot of memorization to do. Very well thought out and very well done. BRAVISSIMO!

      @@austinlogan4247 Penn & Teller are assuming that the trick is based on a force - this is when the choice of the card appears random but it was actually influenced by the performer. For instance, when you say "stop" he actually stops on the card he wants you to choose but does it so quickly that it appears to be the card you said stop at. He could do this during the "waterfall" of the cards when Penn says Stop, ensuring that Penn took a specific card he knew would be taken.
      The "force" was a red herring here as Penn truly does have free choice of the card. However, the deck is memorized by the performer and once he knows which card Penn's was next to he then knows Penn's card (and therefore, Teller's card since it was right next to Penn's). It's actually really smart that he takes a peek while Penn and Teller are choosing their cards, using Allison's eye contact as a fake proof that he can't see their card - he doesn't need to see their card he just needs to see where in the deck they chose from!
      If Penn & Teller had asked if he could do the trick again except this time have them shuffle instead of cut the deck, or ask him to do the trick with a deck that they shuffled beforehand it would be a 100% fool me. Instead, I believe he just has excellent memorization skills and great stage presence.

    SPOILER ALERT:
    I recognize how this is done because in 7th grade I memorized the sequence of a shuffled deck of cards. Cutting the cards doesn't change the order.
    The card order of all 52 cards was pre-memorized. Cutting never changes this order. He pre-memorizes the sequences of the two stacks the deck is split into. These sequences always remain the same. Any card out of order is instantly recognized when he fans out the cards in either stack. He doesn't have to see the second stack because he has pre-memorized the 52 card sequence.

    Great trick! A waterfall force would be too basic a move. The secret is the separating the cards into 2 piles. Instead of making it harder to guess, it made it easier. He knew which card didn't belong in the pile, because they got put into the main pile in reverse order. Penn volunteered the information of which pile contain his card and which contained Teller's. Once he knew that, Siegfried knew the cards. I'm surprised Penn & Teller didn't catch that. Maybe it's their policy that if they don't get it at the first guess, they concede the trophy.

    The deck is not shuffled, he have a periodic order inside it (that order is not ruined by cuts or separation card by card), but the order was irreversibly compromised when the first card (pen) was putted below the second card (teller one).

I am 100% certain the deck was prearranged in one of those ways where no matter how many times you cut, the only cards out of order would be the one that they chose. He added some diversionary moves at the end but I'm sure he knew what the cards were when he split the pile. Regardless, the effect is awesome, and thought I couldn't do this trick nearly as good as him, it was an easy solve, which I'm sure Penn and Teller would have guessed second.

I wonder if P&T more didn't know how to suggest change of order without ruining the trick for the audience as well? "When I do magic I like to know that everything is right where I expect it to be. If I look and something is out of place, I know it must have been moved by someone else." maybe with some fluff?? Or maybe the closeup stage presence genuinely distracted them and they thought something about the waterfall would be more important..

The separation would make it a 50:50 guess, but he effectively nullified it by asking Penn and Teller which one spots their card in their respectable half. As long as he sees the bottom card during the shake he does at 2:09 (perhaps on one of the screens behind Alisson?) he's good since the starting deck was in a specific sequence already. Alternatively - if he did a sleigh of hand (which he didn't) at 2:13 - 2:20 he could just look at the sequence at 4:22. I'm wondering why Penn and Teller thought 2:09 was a decoy.

    He had the cards in an easy to remember order (ex: the CHaSeD arrangement, though in this case it would have to be a different arrangement as the end of the trick would cause CHaSeD to result in black and red piles) then when Penn and teller pick cards, Penn selects first (so his card is on top of tellers), teller second, and then penn’s card is placed back first making his now below tellers so they are reversed in the order. Cutting the deck does not shuffle a cyclical order, the cards are always in the same order (think if you laid them out in a circle). Then when he divides them, two cards will be in the opposite piles due to being switched; those are Penn and tellers cards

    Awesome trick. To make a guess how he did it: He memorized the sequence of semi-random shuffled cards, then spotted the odd one out. You see him actually examining the cards before he picks penn's one, and that examination may be totally real. The cuts don't mess up (most of) the order, he can see where it split. And the deck came pre-shuffled and was not shuffled after. The selection was genuinely free. Edit - I see now this is the magicians own channel.

      The cards were not shuffled before the waterfall at all and when he spreads them out on the table you can clearly see the two red 8s next to each other roughly in the middle of the deck before the waterfall. Only thing I can think of is he knew the entire order and, if you look at the cards laid out at 1:16 there are a lot of patterns to the pairings of cards next to each other. It would not matter where it was stopped if he knew the entire pattern and was able to identify exactly where the stop was.
      I do not think it mattered where the stop was, he knew the card order and knew what 2 cards were picked no matter where the stop was and had some way of identifying the exact stop point. The trick was in being able to identify the stop point and knowing the order of the cards. No card force needed.
      The entire performance was spot on and the presentation was great.

    This is absolutely the kind of magician that I would love to watch up close, his personality is so wonderfully wild and his smile is infectious.

    If i’m allowed to make a guess about the trick i want to point out the fact that when penn and teller’s cards are put back into the deck they have been switched of position and that the deck itself is one-way and it has been set up in such a way that cards are alternatively shuffled. Deck cuts are inconsistent, but i dont think i have to explain why...

      I learned a trick like that a long time ago and while it's also my best guess, I have to wonder if that's really what he did. Either way, his presentation was great and really sold the trick.

    Can we take a second to appreciate that he didn't put the fact that he fooled them in the title, making the video more fun to watch.

    He knows the complete order of the whole deck, when he lifted half of the deck while he was staring at Allison he saw the card that is next to the one Penn took.

      Yes! I think he intentionally chose the waterfall because 95% of magicians would say at this point that it was forced and then he had freedom to do whatever.

      No he did not and actually he does not really need to look at it.

    1:16 the 8 of Hearts and 8 of Diamonds are right beside each other in the middle of the spread. So I'm guessing this was a force

      Uh because penn chose stop n teller had to take the one below it...n at the end he says he can do it anywhere in the deck

      It wasn’t forced.

    Amazing performance, great magic, comedic and humble. I was smiling from the moment you started speaking about the trick.

    I love the reaction when Penn says "Waterfall Force". That's when you knew you had them.
