- I've read your comments on my 2nd "Fool Us" appearance and made this video to answer your questions. "Why did you tell them you practiced for 18 years?!" "Why did you catch 5 cards?" - All those answers and more. Here's a detailed play-by-play of what was going though my head before, during and after my performance.

MORE TRICKS FROM THE BABY!
Please, so cute ;)
i am actaully kinda glad you didnt fool them, becuase otherwise we would have never known you did it for real,
and that at least for me is much more impressive than a slight ofhands
It's still slight of hand theres just no trick
Exactly!
I actually thought that you messed up when you caught like 5 cards. However, when you explained how you purposefully adjusted your fingers in order to do just that and showed that you could have caught only one card, my respect for you as a sleight of hand artist went up tremendously. Your dexterity and card handling skill are extraordinary.
You are one of my favourite working magicians today.
Performing in front of P&T is scarry even to the seasoned magician. Not to mention to the many people in the audience. The pressure to NOT to messed up is a possibility.
There are three ingredients for a great magician: skill/talent, determination/practice and a good authentic personality from your heart. It's rare to see all three in one person. Mr Kimlat, I applaud you :)
Wow I’m in awe of your talents but this video is super awesome too! What I mean is it’s one thing to perform and gain accolades in Magic, but it’s kind of a next level thing to create and post a video like this to honestly share your thoughts and self criticisms, etc!!! Very much appreciated, and well done!
Totally echo that. Thank you Kostya! Inspiring to hear a bit of your life philosophy, how you seem to embrace challenge and fear… that’s amazing! As well as how moving an experience it was for you, things we wouldn’t have known without a candid reaction video.
The 'trick' is great but what I like best about the performance is how excited that Alyson appears to be. I think that getting your audience excited in anticipation for seeing something amazing proves just how good you are at what you do. Keep up the good work!
You've got to be one of the most likable guys on CZcams -- thanks for the magic and the insights!!!
I so love you highlighting Teller's reaction after Penn tells him. Whenever I go back and watch the videos of this appearance, that part of the video blows me away. As Penn said, "when you fool Teller, that's when you fool us!" But to go even further and see Teller so clearly amazed and in awe - wow that gets me every time. And what an absolute compliment to you. Of course, your performance is always so much fun to watch - I don't mean to downplay that. And I'm so thankful that you gave us this commentary and reaction. It's a delight!
On one of my next Orlando Theme Park vacations, I have to take a day out to catch one of your shows. I know it'll be the highlight of the trip!
Please come back to the show. I am stuck to watch your only two appearances every few weeks!!! It amazes me every time!
These are great, please do more "behind the scenes!". Actually, reaction videos (by professionals!) are so popular now, you might as well start a trend giving comments on other magic tricks (without giving too much away, of course!)
Yea! Congrats for the content! You are a mice magician, and u did it great
I love the fact that Kostya says several times "I don't need someone to call out their card for the trick to work" without mentioning, (at least to the part of the video I've gotten to) that he proves it IN THIS VIDEO!. When he ruffles the deck, to mimic what he did with Penn. When he flips that extra card just like he did with Penn, *It's the five of diamonds he stops on, and what card does he snatch from the deck the first time?
Was very looking forward for this kind of video, always appreciate behind the scenes stuff. Have a nice day my brother
Thanks, you too!
I think I found the clip of the baby catching the card funnier than I should have 😂
The level if dedication to this is amazing. You are one of the best magicians in the world, respect for such insane work ethic. Would love to see more of these videos.
of*
Also wanna say I'm impressed by the show's editors. As a former video editor myself, I never noticed that parts were cut out, which is a good thing.
I have watched this trick so many times and I have loved it every single time
wow man. to the trick is amazing. but to do it in an impossible way that's beyond anything I could comprehend you are really amazing
I was suspicious about a reaction video, but you showed how good you are, not only as a extraordinary magician, but also as a truly good professional and a grateful honest man. Bravo
Kostya, I love how much passion you put not only into your magic abilitys, but also into spreading magic. You really try to bring magic closer to people by showing them how complex a trick can be - endless methods can have the same effect. The ideal way would be that someone taking a trick puts his individual touch to it.
You often say, that you‘re so glad that you've been invited to that show and Penn and Teller gave you that opportunity. I tell you what: Millions of people including me and thousands of magicians around the world appriciate you and the work youre doing!!
Hope to See more of your „amazing stuff“ like Penn Said ;)
Keep it up
Greetings from Germany
What a great, honest, and positive self reflection while reviewing your 2nd performance.
This a great self assessment. I loved it. One of my favorite tricks!
I love your humility and the way you explain everything. I always love hearing from anyone who is passionate about what they do, and it's evident that you are a true master of your craft. Your ability to explain it so well, is the giveaway. Thank you for the insight that you give us, and a perspective we can appreciate!
The only other non-fooler that P&T gave this much praise to is Michael Vincent, so you're in good company 💪
Love the small view into your head, and how you connect magic with business! 💯
Thanks so much!
Wow, as a P&T fan this was some really great insight into certain aspects of the show like the cuts that I've thought about before but so far never really gotten any information. Funnily enough, just last week I thought about the very same thing you mentioned, how we (spectators) can admire getting fooled by magicians but never really respect the true amount of skill and training that went into it. I really wish that I could learn about every magic trick only to be able to appreciate how good that performance actually was. Of course not right away but maybe in my final days so until then I can still live a full life getting fooled by magic tricks.
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video-some really fascinating insights into IMO the best show on TV. You come across as so humble and genuine-thank you, sir!!
Penn talks about the magician vs juggler often on his podcast, maybe because he's both.
What struck me is when he said that the reason magic looks like magic is that we can't imagine practicing the moves as many times as the magician is willing to practice them. When we see a juggler, we get a sense of how much practice it took, even though they actually practiced 10x our estimate. But with a magician it's like 100x our estimate of how much practice it should take.
I just love you man! This type of behind the scenes/reaction to your own performances content is so interesting and valuable if you ask me.
The first time I watched this was on TV and you blew my mind with the skill level required to snatch that card. Knowing how you did it only elevates the 'trick' to master level. I still come back and watch both your performances on P&T for the sheer joy they bring. Thank you.
This was so nice & sweet of you to confide your inner thoughts & feelings to viewers as you were performing this second trick!
I thoroughly enjoyed hearing your analysis & appreciate you taking time to make this video for us viewers who may never know the time, effort, & stress required to perform to a live audience & in front of Penn & Teller.
Dude you are awesome
Thank you so much for doing this. I love knowing what you were thinking when you performed this. When Penn says “he’s better than you think”, it’s an absolute compliment. You know this because of the praise he gave you on his podcast after your first appearance where you fooled them. He was in awe of you then, and he’s in awe of you now.
I've been waiting for this video since you did the last one for your first performance! It really gives an insight to how much more the 10 minutes that we just see. Sometimes the magician keeps their persona so well that when Penn and Teller get fooled the Magician lets down their performance face and you see expressions of elation and fulfillment, it's incredible to see the change in those faces.
Doing these videos forms a deeper connection with so many more people into the world of magic, and the amazing human behind the magic.
Wow. Refreshing to see you are so humble and friendly and kind. I should have known since Penn and Teller wanted to hang out with you ☺️ I usually find explainers and let's watch videos annoying but you were very informative and awesome. Thanks for being awesome 👍
You're awesome! And it's a pleasure to see you perform and react to this video. I've watched both performances many times before. And although I wasn't interested to learn how you did it, I still loved them! Well done!
I've been dealing with stage fright for almost 25 years. Despite concentrated effort, never was able to conquer it.
Just the thought of someone going up there with a very high risk trick like this, I really felt the breathe you let out as you were getting the rhythm.
Thanks for your comment. I don’t think stage fright is something you have to necessarily conquer like an enemy. And concentrated effort only makes you more aware of it.
Instead, you can find something else to focus on once the performance starts (your technique, the script, the audience, their reactions) and it will go out of your awareness.
As you perform a trick 100+ times, the prior experience builds a confidence that makes it go away. Minute by minute, you learn to be comfortable on stage for longer periods of time.
But the nervousness before the show could always be there and that’s a good thing. It forces me to be present and pay attention. Treat it like a untapped source of energy…
That was a great watch. Thanks for sharing all your insights and good luck in the future!
Kostya thanks my man for this, was really intriguing and you are clearly an awesome guy. Hope to see more of you on the magic scene
Wow your attitude and your energy shows such a positive vibe :) Amazing talent!!!! :)
This is incredible! Excellent explanation and production quality. Great work Kostya!!
It's so impressive, not only performing on stage for TV but infront of an audience with Penn and Teller right beside you! Plus on top of all that, performing an effect that is so difficult! I almost faint when I'm doing a trick for one person. If you're ever in England, I'd love to see you perform live.
Ok so you're just a legit wizard. Got it.
Since now, one of my favorite magic videos on CZcams.
All your tricks always blow my mind including every time I watch them again, you Sr. are exceptional and I'm glad to see how far a "simple" human being can push skills. Amazing and truly inspiring!!
You are a professional and gentleman . I watch and re-watch your magic.
Highly interesting to watch! Just as the video you did on your first performance. Also: I found it inspiring to see that note sheet giving an insight into your practising progress. Thanks for the video
Kostya, you've been a sensation for a long time, no overnight tag in the magic world. thank you for the RR cull, it's one of the finest things I know. Keep up the amazing work you do brother.
WOW, you are a true champion in my heart dude! Thanks for this awesome video!
What's additionally great, apart from the trick, is your communication skills shown here and brilliant video lighting. Thanks for a great video, Kostya.
Very nice of you to share your thoughts with your viewers. I'm reminded to appreciate the hard word anyone puts into developing a skill and revealing it masterfully. Kudos!!
I really appreciate your honesty in this vlog. I love your performances. Keep up the good work!!
You are a breathtaking presenter and showman. Really. The way you just explain is really entertaining alone. Keep up the great work, you are truly talented!
I really like the vulnerability and honesty that you show with this video. Great job!
What an incredible video. Thank you for sharing this with us. You’re awesome!
Penn's head would have exploded if you would have just dribbled the cards (without asking what the card was) and then caught that one card. It's nuts that you really had the ability to do that. Still amazing.
I saw the other videos about this to and for me it is still mind blowing. Respect that you have been practising this long.
I only saw your tricks recently and this was magical. I think this trick and the fact that you didn't cheat it at the end and went through with what you had planned was amazing. It really was the perfect 2nd performance because the trick was even more impressive because of how impressed Penn was in explaining it.
If you ever have the opportunity for a 3rd appearance, I hope it's a trick similar to this in that even if you get busted, it's still seen as a very impressive trick.
i‘m from germany and never knew fool us. somehow youtube recommended your video to me and i love your performance. keep up the great work!
This was great! Thank you so much for sharing!!
I loved both of your performances and enjoyed Penn and Teller's reaction both times so much. I perceived the second one almost like you described. the nervousness, the skill etc. and I got from Penn's statements right after the act and later, when he said, 'he is better, than you think' exactly that. and of course I know about a little bit about how show's are recorded. I wasn't questioning a card changing and things like that. don't know, what all those commentators were picking on. so, in conclusion, thank you for the chance to hearing it from you personally :-)
I bet the other thing that tipped them off was that the trick was so simple/flawless that pure skill was the only possible explanation. With that being said, well done!
Riveted, absolutely transfixed. 34 minutes flashed by like 34 seconds. Kostya's sincerity and love of people shines bright.
It's amazing you saw so many flaws in this performance, where pretty much everyone else just thought grabbing multiple cards was the only mistake.
Thanks for this brilliant masterclass ! I enjoyed and enjoyed it again and again
The trick is epic. It's unfortunate that it didn't turn out ideal on TV, but it still is an amazing trick.
I think you subconsciously didn't want to fool them, but rather just go out there and kick their a$$e$. So you didn't fool them, but you blew their minds with pure skill, which is even better. Nice job and video.
Just look at Teller's face throughout the trick. That man just loves your work Kostya!
I think you're one of the best. Absolutely king of kings! Thank you for being an amazing magician and a very positive person. Thank you for sharing!
I love the behind the scene production info
You are awesome, and this is such a great video. Keep on shining !!
that's just amazing
That was awesome, thanks for the video!
Brilliant. Thank you!
Amazing performance and absolutely fascinating to hear your commentary of your mental processes and last minute decisions and changes. It actually makes the initial performance that much more mindblowing - and shows how much consideration is paid to so many small deliberate distractions throughout the trick. Additionally, the beauty of this 'bust' is not that they identified a gimmick the trick used, but that you were busted purely for the skill of sleight.
Your passion, your skills.. I'm not a magician, nor a juggler, but you're such an inspiration! Thank you!
I loved the video, thanks for the behind the scenes look at your performance.
Really great behind the scenes! It prompted me to do my own reaction videos to my agt acts ☺
Such a cool guy. Honestly I think Penn and Teller revealing your trick was way better for you than fooling them. Congratulations! I think when he says , "he's better than you think", he was saying the 5 card grab instead of 1 was still a jaw dropping move.
You're amazing. Wishing all the best
My take on Penn's "It's better than you think" comment, is that despite they had figured out this trick, he is recognizing your talent to the audience and that he respects you as a magician.
But that's my take.
You're still one of the greatest magicians in the world. Trust me !
my favourite magician ever, hope you come back to Fool Us again!
Even though I now know how the trick works, it is still an amazing work. Chance of missing is why I love this trick. If you would miss, I would still be amazed. Thank you.
Honestly the fact you actually count the cards falling and grab one is more impressive than using a trick or gimmick.
This is really nice to have your insights and I wish more performers would do that, not for especially revealing the trick but to explain some details, like those famous red herrings because the misdirection for audience and for magicians are waaaay different, and to hear what might have worked or not give (at least for me) a new layer to the performances in P&T ;)
This is why I subscribed Kostya😁 you got my like
Great video! Your commentary was informative and entertaining. Oh and great skills! I love this.
I realised since I look up methods I appreciate magic more: Knowing someone do something but could not see makes me excited. I honor skill and dedication.
Man you really are great, I love these insight videos, and all the subtle nuance you had, love from India 🙂
Though you did not fool them for the combination of reasons you just explained, this skill required for this effect makes you a legend my friend. Loved your 1st appearance as well.
Finally - I was waiting for this Kind of video
Beauty is found in imperfections. And this magic is beautiful.
Very enjoyable video. Thanks!
I am a fan of magic since i saw it first time perhaps about 50 years ago, i dont know how good the performer was, but good enough to fool me..I think and that is for everybody who is on your level, no matter what they do, e.g. sport etc etc, 99% see only the results, never spend a moment of time to think how much time and energy it cost to get to this point.. congrats
I watch and it relaxes me, it amazes me, it takes mi to an other world an other time even to love it so much that I like to perform it, well i dream about, but I know it not for me to do..I love you and your time to make this video, it gives me an different perspective of magicians and how much it cost to become a GREAT one..I know you are one off the GREAT once..cheers ( BTW: I like magic even more since i can understand English...thats magic for me , well a sort off :)
BTW: I saw the video when u performed and am so happy to find your video as well, makes it much more appreciative , thanks for doing this, you are amazing and it makes me enjoy that you enjoy what you do, you are a PRO my friend
It doesn't matter if the trick didn't go as you wanted, it was awesome and impressive
Great video and such a great attitude you have!
Screw anyone that gives you crap for grabbing multiple cards. Most people's hands would be shaking so much those cards would all be on the floor. That said, every time I watch the video of this performance (and I've seen it many times), I really feel for you that in the moment you felt you needed to make the choice to play it a little safe. I know the impulse (I once had the chance to play for 20,000 people and I was terrified), but you only get those really big opportunities a few times in life and I know you wish you had gone for it. I would have loved to have seen you do the trick there the way you did on the news show on your other video. It is really amazing when you don't even ask their card. But it was still great and you could tell both of them were really impressed with the skill.
Really enjoyed this video, thanks for the peek behind the curtain!
Great stuff man! Keep it up
I really enjoyed it
Great job!
18:55 wow this part was new for me. Interesting.
