Thank you to all who watched and subscribed and thank you for all the kind words 🙂 For those calling out that it’s a different bill, they film something called “pick ups” which means they reshoot small moments after the fact. They reshot the moment Alyson signed the bill to get a closer look and used that shot - during the actual trick it was the same bill. Promise :) you can see the trick performed elsewhere on my channel. Thanks for all the love ❤️ - Rachel
The two college kids where they tried to fool Penn but not Teller. Penn: "I know with me and my partner, we do a lot of tricks together." (hints towards working with a partner) Penn: "I don't think we fooled you." Conner (Magician): "What do you think, Kenshin?" Kenshin (Magician): - raises from tarp with sign: "No" -
Maybe not the most confounding trick in the show's history, but this does stand apart as the most confidently chill and natural performance I can recall seeing over the dozens I've watched -- with none of the nervous energy or awkward patter rhythms that sometimes understandably manifest under pressure. Really an achievement of which you and your father can both be proud. Well done.
u know I was about to say this trick completely fooled me but then i had a “rubber duck” moment and I think I got it haha. One of those situations where the trick is so impossible theres really only one way left. That bring said I agree, one of the cleanest performances and the energy was just so great. They’re clearly a master entertainer which is the true game here.
That is without a doubt the greatest ending to a segment ever on this entire 9-year show. You owned their busting of you and it was magnificent. And sure, the trick was good too. 😉
I've been watching Fool Us since seson 1, and I can not remember a time where Penn laughed that hard before. The high pitched laughter was great. Amazing stage presence, really funny, and such a great performer. Awesome job, Rachel!
To quote Penn: "What really killed me... he's a real pro... he's prepared to be showbiz, he's prepared to be impressed, he's prepared to react. And he does my favorite thing you see in show business: which is when a guy who is *pretending* to do something, all of a sudden really does it." Really got that vibe from this laugh, she caught him off-guard and turned this familiar concept on its head :D Source of the quote: czcams.com/video/NdxT3BL_Iik/video.html
Your comedic timing and self-satisfied smugness is a difficult thing to pull off. Many try, but most cannot find the line between confronting the audience and welcoming them along. You did it, and it looked effortless. Your continuation of your character after the magic presentation was complete recalls Piff when he was on the show as a contestant. Never broke character, and basically snubbed P&T while they were critiquing him. You did the same. Perfect. I wouldn't doubt you've made a couple of new friends! Looking forward to seeing you collaborate with them.
This was the best example of showing that it's much more than just knowing magic tricks.The showmanship and live interaction skills were top notch! And I love watching it again and again!
Anyone who can get Penn to laugh almost uncontrollably (a la Harvey Korman and Tim Conway) is magical, indeed. Loved the recent rerun of this appearance! 😎👍
Picking the lint off your top after the blindfold was in place - brilliant! Superb performance, P&T were absolutely delighted. As were all of us. Brava!!!
"the first thing you said when you came out is you always like to steal something and i dont think the audience noticed but right *here* on fool us... you were stealing something." "yes. yes i was. yeah ya got me" lmaooo the reason why people love p&t and why they are so timeless (you can watch their first tv special "go public" from 1985 and still love it and laugh) is because they put on a show, they have fun and they are so creative in their routines. i think we have here a new magician following in their footsteps. this is my favorite routine on fool us by FAR. its a classic trick done time and time again but yet so enjoyable to watch. i love everything you added to it. p&t love the bait and switched signed item gag and theyve done it a lot so its no wonder you didnt fool them but i love how you took it and you really really made them laugh like no one else has made them laugh.
You're the funniest magician they've had on the show!! Great personality. Top magic trick, too. LOVE the "I removed our signatures" gag - in the spirit of the whole thing, I'm stealing that one.
I love how they can reveal to the magicians that they know the trick without telling the audience how it is done so that the magicians can continue to perform those tricks.
This is the best "acting" i've ever seen on the show! Most magicians repeat the words of their script, but you're actually putting personality and real reactions! And P&T's laughter is the proof, it's rare to see them heartily crack up like that, congrats
I saw many FU performances but never seen Penn and Teller so happy. I'm sure they enjoy the show very much as I do. What a charming magician! Rachel, you make my day. Thank you.
What a great performance! Your stage presence is so smooth and your patter is SO memorable! I loved every moment of it! As Penn says, you fill up the room with your personality! Keep being an amazing performer and I hope you inspire many more female magicians!
This is one of those acts where you know that she didn't get booked because Mike Close thought she could fool Penn and Teller, but because he knew she would absolutely dominate the stage and become an instant fan favourite. Congratulations Rachel, that was a fun trick, a fun performance, and you're a fun magician, and I'm damn sure we'll be seeing so much more of you.
I have only one idea of how you did that trick but what I loved the most was your confidence and personality, the verbal swagger and comedy. You're a ⭐
People get hung up on whether or not the performers can fool Penn and Teller, and forget what wonderful exposure being on a show like this is. Going out in front of a big TV audience and looking like a seasoned pro is as big a deal in the long run as the prize on offer. What a wonderfully natural and charming style. :)

"Make us feel like idiots for busting you" Priceless! Girl, you are GOOD!!!
😂😂
I've never heard someone confirm the code while he was talking lol. That was fantastic 😂

Her father agrees, thank you.
Harness this to your advantage notthing fools better then a faked nervousness that looks genuine.
@@DrDave-gv4tt r u her father? if so. I'm sure you are proud of her. she is a genuine talent. magic aside. her presence is brilliant.
Her father is proud

@@andrelaszlo That's a great insight!
@@andrelaszlo IIRC it was about Donnie Osmond watching Dany DaOrtiz with Penn & Teller. Great video.
...and SO many great gags. I laughed out loud multiple times, especially at the epipen. Hilarious.

As were all of us.
Brava!!!
I feel like this is one of the most comfortable, non-awkward magicians on the entire show.
She definitely is a natural.

That was a "standard" wrapped in a fantastic package. You made them laugh while totally smashing them. Just great.
I love how they can reveal to the magicians that they know the trick without telling the audience how it is done so that the magicians can continue to perform those tricks.
You could see how much they loved and respected her as an entertainer. Very high praise and cool to see.

So talented and charming, she actually made me laugh at the end. I so appreciate it.
It doesn't have to be something impossible to figure out, it just has to be an amazing experience, and Rachel Wax delivered just that. Excellent!
I saw many FU performances but never seen Penn and Teller so happy.
I'm sure they enjoy the show very much as I do.
What a charming magician!
Rachel, you make my day. Thank you.
The banter at the end was as good as the trick itself. Really great.
Penn's laughter at the end is the best moment thats ever been captured on this show
I dont even want to think about how this is done... cuz this was awesome as is. Bravo.
You definitely killed it. As Penn said, you totally won at the game you're meant to be playing on FU. A star is born.
Great performance - just watched it tonight ! Loved her personality and magic !
This is good work! And getting the 'verdict' was hilarious!
Soooo FUN!!! You are❤
Beautiful spirit!
one of the best versions of impossible location I've seen in a long time. Wonderful.
That is an amazing routine! He's definitely right there, you put on a helluva show. Love your energy, love your presentation, it's just awesome.
Wow, Love her Energy! #positive
Love her. Can’t wait to see her in person.
Awesome performance! Thank you !!!
I think I've only seen them laugh that hard once or twice! That was great
What a great performance! Your stage presence is so smooth and your patter is SO memorable! I loved every moment of it! As Penn says, you fill up the room with your personality! Keep being an amazing performer and I hope you inspire many more female magicians!
Left me wanting more magic from you! You were great!

Such a charming performer.
She's my favorite so far. Such a charming performer.
This is beautiful performance I loved every minute of it!
This is one of those acts where you know that she didn't get booked because Mike Close thought she could fool Penn and Teller, but because he knew she would absolutely dominate the stage and become an instant fan favourite.
Congratulations Rachel, that was a fun trick, a fun performance, and you're a fun magician, and I'm damn sure we'll be seeing so much more of you.
The Best! Congrats!
From beginning to end, that was fun! I'm excited to see you come back for another :)
Rachel you killed it at the end!! You had Penn in stitches, and me as well! LOL
what an absolutely brilliant performance 😍🤩
This was great!
Rachel was so charismatic, energetic and confident lady. I really liked her personality as well as magic trick.
Outstanding 👏
Cuteness overload! 🤩
Skill is one thing but I think being entertaining and a great smile like yours is the real magic.
She was LOVELY. Great performance.
Absolutely loved that trick.
Fantastic! Great job!
This is exactly how magic is meant to be performed... with a great delivery and an entertaining storyline supporting the actual magic. Outstanding!
Good gravy, that swagger is *legendary*
Amazing performance and routine!
stunning, funny, and YOU WON THE BIGGER GAME for sure!
That personality! 🥰
You have a wonderful personality, and I just had to giggle when you turned the table on Penn & Teller. And I really enjoyed your performance. 😊
Exactly that type of person ( magician) to go out and have a funny day. Love your confidence and humor.
I have only one idea of how you did that trick but what I loved the most was your confidence and personality, the verbal swagger and comedy. You're a ⭐
Fantastic routine. Loved it!
This was one of my favourite acts on Fool Us. Your energy, stage presence and creativity deserves its own theater one day.
She has incredible chaotic neutral energy and I'm here for it.
Great trick and stage persona. ❤
You won the bigger game, indeed!
Very enjoyable to watch!!
World class patter and personality along with a well-executed illusion. I love it!
Great performance. Very clean handwork. Even when you know what you're looking for you can't see it.
Enjoying. Well done!
Making Penn and Teller genuinely laugh is about as hard a feat as fooling them.
Congratulations
That was delightful.
How cool to see your path. Wonderful to have watched you grow and mature into an incredible performer. Funny, fooling, ENGAGING really really cool.
Best patter I've seen in a while .. possibly ever.
Fine magician, great performer. Well done.
Great showing, you are a wonderful performer.
what a fabulous advert for her, she was great
Solid magic but also great comedy instincts, natural af and just a personality tailor-made for this kind of thing, well done
Awesome!
This was the most entertaining “banter” or whatever you call it I’ve seen on the show yet.

Beautifull trick!
This was soooo entertaining! And funny! Thanks!
I am going to come from europe around april just to see this energy
Beautiful Beautiful Magic Presentation. Actually the best delivery I have seen of these kind of tricks. Well executed. We were entertained.
That was BRAZEN theft!! And so much more entertaining for it!! I feel like I've been rewarded for my loyalty to the show.
She's great!!
