- (Original airdate: 01/23/03) Penn performs a card trick while Teller's head is encased in cement. Watch more classic clips @ conanclassic.com.
- Komedie
Wow after 45 years Teller is finally out of the concrete
53 he's been in concrete, finally out.
80 years pass by flying huh?
He must be glad. 99 years is a long time.
I can’t believe anyone can sit in that thing for 135 years
He looks pretty good considering he'd been in that cement for two and a half centuries.
I feel so bad for Teller. It must have been hard growing up in the 50's with his head encased in concrete.
Well, it was a lot less accepted back then.
Yeah, and I bet that's why he's so short too.
@@big0bad0brad lmfao
Who is he? I don't recognize him at all, after 14 years in cement
He’s a blockhead.
I swear when Penn told Teller to do the "Voodoo move" and then smacked the tongs against the concrete I almost died from laughing. LOL
Classic
Dude same. I about laughed up a lung
yeah thats epic ^^
5:26
He said 'special move' not 'voodoo move'. Mandela effect.
"It's never been done before."
"We did it in rehearsal this afternoon, and it went well."
What’s the point in quoting the video if you don’t even quote it correctly?
@@matthathaway5015
So people like you, who have to nitpick everything to feel like your life has meaning (spoiler alert, if you feel a need to nitpick, it probably doesn't) have something to do with your otherwise pointless lives.
@@matthathaway5015 matt, stop it you silly
I wasn't nitpicking, I was genuinely asking what the purpose was. You quoted a video that everybody in the comments section also saw, yet you quoted it incorrectly. It was a genuine curiosity to me--why you would find something important enough to reiterate but not enough to reiterate correctly.
But sure, my life is pointless. You've deduced it all from a single comment that I made.
Keep it up, buddy. Maybe if you keep taking attention-grabbing quips from other people you'll garner some sort of value to your own life.
@@matthathaway5015 how are you this bothered by a random inoffensive comment on the internet 😂
Much respect to Teller's mother for giving birth to a baby with its head stuck in a block of concrete.
Nobody was aware that we had invented concrete that not only grows with the person wearing it, but remains completely square the entire time
It's amazing how much that concrete looks like grey painted Styrofoam
Honestly if that was real concrete it would weight upwards of 160 pounds.
It's eifs stucco...
Sure sounds like rock when he hits it with a hammer
@@drmntpibb Looks like plaster of paris, easily set to any shape and breaks quite easily in a thin layer like that.
@@matthewryan4844 still would be quite heavy. Glad to see penn had a rig supporting the weight of it all
I love Penn screaming instructions at Teller like it's perfectly normal
He cant hear in there
"Well, we did a rehersal and you saw it" Penn just has one of my favorite comedy styles. Just completely and straight forward honesty
Pen's voice got that bad after spending one year yelling to a cement block.
You spelled 75 years wrong.
Poor Teller completely lost his voice from yelling out of the cement block.
The really cool part of their act, is that Teller has made Penn look like the "brains" of the operation all this time.
casual fan here: care to elaborate
@@PanicAtTheBen Teller is ten times a better magician than Penn, that's why he always does all the crazy stunts while Penn acts mostly as the presentator. He's still also a great magician, but doesn't come close to Teller.
Penn will often admit that Teller is the better magician. Penn used to be with the circus (seriously) and is a much better showman. That's why they make a good team. Obviously, Penn is still a solid magician, and Teller is better at showmanship than he admits.
@@PanicAtTheBen they are both encyclopedias of magical knowledge. Together they are a perfect duo. Penn is talented at many things but Teller is an elite sleight of hand magician. Penn is the perfect complement because he's loud and creates just enough diversion. They're also not selling "real magic" per se. It's meant to be obvious at times or poke fun at magicians that claim to have super natural powers
@@craigstaley352 Penn is way better at verbal patter, though, I'm sure.
I’m starting to suspect that Penn and Teller maybe might not find David Blaine all that fancy...
Why would they? Penn and Teller are world class magicians, David Blaine's only true talent is hiring the right video editors that can do camera tricks and finding a fake audience that pretends to be amazed.
@@PApro as a fake audience member of one of those things. I’m not allowed to discuss if my fake amazement was real or not
@@PApro what?
@@abdelrahmanbaraka6133 it wasn't that hard to understand. David Blane don't preform illusions or slight of hand, he uses camera tricks and fancy edits.
@@PApro lmfao BRUH
Wow, this is the first time I could immediately see how a Penn & Teller trick was done.
The 4 of spades was forced. Then, when Penn hands over the ripped piece to Conan, he switches it with an already ripped piece that matches the card that has been in Tellers mouth the entire time. I assume the destruction of the other ripped card is to prevent the rip lines from being compared, masked as a "voodoo" way to transfer the card through the "concrete"
That's the point, it was bullshit, it was on purpose
I mean you know the card has been there the entire time. It's all misdirection and force. If you watch enough Penn & Teller they're surprisingly upfront. I mean they have bits where they literally show you it's a trick. They took the idea of performance to a different level.
@@dewdude Ya like the clear plastic cups for the cup and ball trick
Teller uses both hands to get one pair of tongs out of one pocket.
yes but do you know how the force was done?
4:24 That's when the magic happened.
Beautiful beautiful bro,
the Only error was from Teller because he wasn't able to replicate the same hard angle.
So on the handoff Pen hands over the piece that is already palmed by Teller and hands that to Conan while Teller replaces to Palm, the piece he just cut. That's why the card is destroyed. It was never meant to match up. But playing the 'stump', that little snap on the hand of Teller, on the handoff is Segway for perfect misdirection as Penn directs Conan to show the crowd.
(Someone tell the video director he has tickets for their next up coming show for not doing a close up on that ripping error)
I highly suspect converging lines of the suits blend all of that.
Our eyes do fall to the hand movements since the majority is hard lines or dark gray tones.
I get to enjoy it either knowing it or not, like your favorite comedian saying the same joke you've heard him say but it's his delivery so it's fun hearing it again.
Just cause you know it doesn't mean you can't enjoy it.
Oh wow haha
Same thought lol he just gave conan another card piece instead of the one pen had
When he does the jedi spread
@@MrOneNye i get that, but how did he was going to pick the 4 of spades?
this trick really helped them cement their legacy
That joke didn't have much foundation... try to write something more concrete
Hey man. Nothing is set in stone.
@@Pulang_Diwa i'm too stoned for this
Get out all off you 😂
At first, I was like .... What?!?! Then, I'm like... Ohhhhh.
To all those claiming this was a bad trick with bad execution you totally missed the point, the trick is bullshit and they made it very clear side the beginning, the original show is all about exposing bad magicians, or worse, people who think their stuff is real...
What show did they have that exposed bad magicians?
@@jameslutian1977 Bullshit!
Hmmm I missed the point then :-)
That’s literally not what bullshit is about 😂
I agree, Penn and Teller love to expose bad magician's. That is why they fumbled this trick and you can see the torn piece hand off sooooo clearly. Penn and Teller are pros and I was shocked at first to see such a fumble from then, then you reminded me their show is about "Bullshit" and it now makes sense. See my comment in the main thread. If they wanted to do this trick right, Penn would have the "target" torn piece on him the whole time and swap with a slight of hand as needed - no handoff at all. I love their act. Remember they drove a semi truck trailer over Teller and THEN show us how they did it.
Its a damn shame Bullshit didn't last nearly as long as it should have. It was such a good series, especially the random tangents. Like the UFO episode where it went from UFOs > UFO conventions > crazy people > anal probing > sex toys > UFOs.
Many an emergency room Doctor and Nurse have seen an Unbelievable Foreign Object...
I love the one where they went to a hippie convention and got them to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide (H²O)

@@landonletterman831 * H₂O
@@StoneE4 well ain't you fancy!
@@landonletterman831 No more fancy than correcting someone who types : E=mc₂
if you replay it and pay attention you would see that when teller "accidentally" hands the card to penn he switches the ripped piece to match the one preloaded card in his mouth
Okay but how did they force the 4 of spades?
Other than the obvious of answer that the whole magic show was scripted
@@TheItchyDani3l I mean forcing cards is a pretty common magic thing, I have no idea how they do it, but it's pretty common.
@@XinxFlenler I believe Penn had 4 stashes of cards on him. His left hand reached to the spades pile and got the 4th one. The skill and practice is what gets me. If I’m right (big If but hear me out) then he was palming it in his left hand before the transfer.
Not their best move but still damn impressive.
They never shuffled, Teller knew the order of the cards and was counting. They had preset cards to stop at, short, medium, long, and Penn had a torn version of each in his pocket.
My guess
@@hotmetalslugs Teller still had the piece he ripped in his hand and stashed it in his pocket when he reached for the tongs
Lmfao I love these two 😂😂😂 it's crazy that after 450 years teller finally got released from the concrete box
450 lol
Can’t believe he went 60 years in concrete
Yeah 90 years in concrete must be really taxing
It sure was nice of that Pharaoh to help him encase his head in concrete like that.
I nice easter egg for pen and teller fans, the first card that "would have been selected" when they pretended he changed his mind was the 3 of clubs. It doesn't look as good for tricks where you tear a corner off, though.
when he hit himself in the face i died lmaoo
Great setup, Great switch. Brilliant comedy. Classic Penn and Teller.
@@largeformatprinter1946 it wasn't literally everyone, or nobody would have been fooled.
1:02 “You’re on cable, we are not”… Oh Conan give it 7 more years.
Considering conan is really tall then i can't imagine how much of a monster Penn looks like in person, he makes conan look of normal size
I can only take so much of Penn but I could listen to Teller all day !
Penn cant help exposing the tricks of the trade... even on a late night show.
I don't think it's ever been done!
Whatchu talkin bout Conan you saw it in rehearsal and loved it!
Smashing the burnt card to the block was a stroke of comedic genius
Man... I got excited that BS was coming back. Now I'm just depressed.
The BS is in full effect.
There is a show about it too.
It’s called “fake news”
So Penn was wrong and people DID stop lying?
I still cringe thinking about their respective episode on the climate crisis and passive smoking. I wonder how their views have changed in the meantime…
@@Lumpiluk LOL
You are a clown!
@@Lumpiluk actually I watched an interview where Penn said that he wished they'd never done the passive smoking episode and his views had completely changed.
That switch was so clean and on brand for Penn and Teller. Loved it.
I like how Penn can stop Conan talking sometimes.
I just love the dynamic of these two and the little jokes like "Show it to Conan" and Teller turns to Penn 😅
That "oh my gawd" at the end there was so unsurprisingly sounded, lol
Conan foreshadowing on ending up in cable is really sad!🥺🥺🥺
Well cable was not a great place to be back then - but now every television has it , and honestly, some of the most popular tv shows today aren’t on broadcast OR cable. Like Conan’s will be soon as it turns into an HBO Max show.
True, but had he known network TV was for saps he would've approved of his future self.
One of my all time favorite P&T talk show appearances.
Great trick, super easy. Penn took the ripped piece of card from Teller, gave Connan a different ripped piece, the one that was actually in Teller's mouth. Sleight of hand.
I'm just wondering why there was a pencil line following the tear on the card in teller's mouth?
@@gabrielholes4642 I think it's a cheeky signal that the torn piece and card match and also were not the same ones from before, not that I'd expect many in the audience to believe they actually reconstituted a burned card.....Those kinds of humorous riffs like the transparent cups & balls have been staples of their act, Penn has often said that people at magic shows understand they are tricks and no one should believe they actually witnessed something like a lady being literally sawed in half, at least since the 20th century.
Swapping out the ripped piece to give to Conan was probably the easy part and second nature to them, but making sure he ended up with the 4 of Spades and making it look effortless was less easy.
I guess slightly differently. The one in Teller's mouth has been there since the start. Penn gave Conan a small piece that matches the card in Teller's mouth (see the switch around 4:26). The sleight of hand is in counting the card from the deck. The four of spade is a certain position in the deck. After dealing the cards on top, Teller keeps four of spade always the top card and deals the cards below it.
1) 3:22 There are two 4 of spades cards. The first one is already in Teller's mouth at the start of the show. Its corner is already torn and the corner is in Penn's left hand jacket pocket. The second 4 of spades is on the top of the deck.
2) 3:30 As Teller fans out the cards, notice the sequence: 8 of clubs, 9 of hearts, ace of hearts, 3 of hearts.
3) 3:37 When Conan tells Teller to stop, both times Penn says "the next card", because Conan is not allowed to choose the face up card, since the face up card will never be the 4 of spades.
4) 4:00 Notice the card sequence as Teller reveals the cards one by one: 8 of clubs, 9 of hearts and the ace of hearts... same as when Teller fanned out the cards. However, the next card should be the 3 of hearts, right? But it's not... it is revealed to be the 4 of spades. Teller was likely second dealing (dealing the second card from the top, and leaving the four of spades as the top card the entire time... a quick search on CZcams will show you a lot of very skilled people demonstrating this).
5) 4:12 Teller tears the card in a very distinctive way as Penn reaches into his left jacket pocket and palms the pre-prepared torn corner into his left hand.
6) 4:20 Penn pretends to take the newly torn corner from Teller and hand it to Conan, but Teller actually palms that corner and Penn hands the pre-prepared corner to Conan. They look identical to us from far away simply because they have been torn in a very similar distinctive manner.
7) 4:30 Penn holds up the torn card to Conan, and Conan holds up the corner, but Penn doesn't allow them to get very close. You can clearly see him pull away as Conan holds up his corner to Penn's card. This is because Penn doesn't want Conan to notice that they will not match perfectly since they are the two parts of completely different cards. If Conan had noticed, he typically would have made a joke like, "Hey, these don't match! But let's just pretend I don't notice that!" Unlike Letterman, Conan isn't one to play dumb when he sees a hole in a bit.
8) 4:44 While reaching for the tongs with his left hand, Teller puts his right hand (which is currently hiding the corner he just tore off) into his pocket and deposits the card corner there. You can see him stuffing it in with a few extra movements.
9) 6:28 Unlike earlier when Penn held one part and Conan held the torn corner and Penn didn't allow them to get too close to each other, this time the two parts are both in Conan's hand and a very tight closeup shows how perfectly they match.
It's magic!
Close. The corner that conan gets and the corner that teller rips are not similarly ripped. Notice the 1st cards corner was cleanly ripped but the second one had a triangular point to it.
6:29 They didn’t even erased the pencil line which shows how to tear the edge apart. 😂
@@jonassimon2412 That's not a pencil line. Thats the inner ply of the card.
@@jonassimon2412 To be fair, most street performers don't allow you to get an HD close up on camera. They'll show it and move it around so as to show everyone in the audience
"Do that special move Teller" ..🤯😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love the pencil marks on the card at the end. A simple trick, but it's all in the presentation that makes it fun.
1:01 Conan is the real magician here.
When Conan said ‘stop’ for the first time, the card was the three of clubs
That's funny because they've done tricks where the 3 of clubs is the card.
I dont get it. What is the significance of the 3 of clubs?
@@the_original_Bilb_Ono it is Penn's favorite card
@@philsburydoboy Yep. I think there are compilation videos out there showing this. It's not s dig, though. I mean, these guys often show how magic works, so it's not like we're finding out they are some sort of frauds. I consider it a sort of easter egg for fans to find. 😉
Do you think that's an Easter egg for the real fans? I hope so.
Man I love Penn and Teller

Its a mixed bag. This trick was lame. I think anyone with any knowledge of card magic knew the trick, from the moment they said cards were involved. Its the delivery and predicate for their tricks, that make them fun.
@@nobody-tj1mvTrue. And they tried to use slight of hand when Teller was tearing the corner of the card and Penn told him to hurry up
Always love the shenanigans of these two ! Been watching them for decades 😆
Teller is absolutely precious bless his heart. He’s like a modern magical Harpo Marx ❤️
i never put that together, you're right!
Those two are the best couple of magic industry! its god damn funny, interesting and always blows my mind with crazy magic tricks 👏👏👏
its illusion not magic in the real occult science sense
Conan:“You’re on cable, we are not” … years later…
"Watch the magic transference, as the spirit of the ash moves through the concrete."
seen these gentlemen live years ago, just great showmen.
Man,, how powerful Teller's shoulders are to carry that size of a cement block!
Its a baked fake block
and phenomenal ears to hear through that block and earphones on him...
Don't insult Penn like that, he holds his own, Teller doesn't have to carry that hard.
@Marie Whitbread What are you talking about? Damn! Where is levity and whimsy with people on the internet? Did you read the original posters comment? He joked that Teller's shoulders must be big for CARRYING the CEMENT BLOCK on his head, and I flipped the idea by insinuating he was calling Penn a cement block. As the term to carry means that a skilled person takes an unskilled through something to completion. I mean it really can't be taken any other way.
After watching fool us I can say they could give Luke a run for his money
I've watched these guys for so long that I don't even care about catching their slight-of-hand moments anymore.
"I don´t think it´s ever been done"
"Well we did it on rehearsal, you saw it" 😆
And this is, why we're gonna miss the show. Any other show, where something like this would fly?
Wonderfully performed, both the smoothness of the trick, the voodoo mockery and the chaotic banter and ‘theatre’ of the act!! The switch was sublime. (Might have also spied a little ‘force’ too).
LONG LIVE PENN AND TELLER!!
For sure! Only way it could have been better would be if anyone but Conan was sitting there. His stupid attempts here to get laughs with his childish quips illustrate exactly why he lost The Tonight Show.
Owooo!!! I am keeping it downloaded!!! This is hilarious!! I want to see it again and again!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
These guys are truly the best. Masters of magic and comedy.
We going to talk ab how that card from his mouth had a traced cutout?
Rip some playing cards sometime. They have a dark glue layer in the middle.
That's what a card looks like when you rip it.
I love that I know how this is done, while it's being done, and I still enjoy it.
The card trick is so basic and silly, but the way they present it is everything
how does it work?
@@MetalGuitarTimo slight of hand the card was determined from the start and the card he tore up probably had pre cut markings which is why its perfectly exact
@@Pwnerz36 I think they actually also replaced the corner that he tore off with with the one that matched exactly before handing it to Conan.
@@Pwnerz36 but conan was allowed to chose from pens hand too.. so he was involved maybe?
@@MetalGuitarTimo Yeah, but they don't give Conan the last card they deal, they give him the one on the top of the deck, which is yet to be seen and they can place whatever they want on the top with a little slight of hand.
Only a magician would be classy enough to wear Doc Martens with a suit.
This is a great clip. Loved the show when it was on.
My take on this (non-magician) - The card in Teller's mouth is there from the start. The deck is a trick deck with a four of spades stuck to the back of either all the cards, or many cards. The way Teller removes the chosen card from the deck is different to how he dealt out every other card, this is because he is deftly peeling a four of spades off of the card below. He rips it in a near identical way to the pre-ripped card already in his mouth. Meanwhile, Penn is removing the pre-ripped corner from his left pocket, and at the point of distracting Conan they expertly switch the torn corners before handing the pre-ripped corner to Conan. Now comes the risky bit, they pretend the pre-ripped corner matches the card Conan chose, but never actually touch the two together, because they don't exactly match. Penn then burns the evidence and Teller slips the newly torn piece into his right pocket as he "searches" for his tongs. It all becomes clear watching at .25 speed.
2:45 Penn exposes late night television 😂
Yep. The greatest duo in the history of magic. I'm delighted that I was... unwittingly...on Penn & Teller's Bullsh*t in the Bottled Water episode. I had the agua de Coolio. True.
i loved that episode!
P&T are amazing at magic but even better at showmanship. Everything is so fun.
Damn took many many rewinds to finally figure out how it was done. Its penn is so seemless with the switch its crazy.
6:28 - you can see the 'pencil mark' that was drawn over the 'ripped' or 'tear' portion of the card to match conan's torn part. LOL !!!
at 4:25 you can see then exchanging the pieces
At 6:52 mark the video ends

Every. Single. Fucking. Time- I come back to watch this video
and they have Tellers head encased with concrete again!
Have some respect for the lil-Feller; didn't you see what he did?
I love to see card tricks.
The most amazing thing was that the card was not the three of clubs
You can see the trace line on the card.
he totally practiced that card tear. you can see a penn line drawn on it. and it doesn't 100% match up.
this stunt quality is about what you would get from a middle school kid trying magic stunts for the first time.
and for my next trick watch me pull a snake out of my pants.
i notice a bit of a drawing on the revealed card, methinks teller practiced that tear so he would get the shape exactly right blindfolded and just had a second card with the same tear in his mouth
They werent as smooth at this one i saw him hand conan the corner of a different card n palm the one he tore off... still good tho
You can also see some pencil lines around the torn out bit on the card in teller’s mouth.
@@graemevanderjagt17 I saw that too I was wondering if that was pencil marks or just like shadows or something
Not gonna lie, best part of the trick is Teller smashing the tongs against his block of "cement" xD
That was my favorite part.
I loved Penn & Teller's show
Teller is so slick with cards. I know exactly when he had to have forced that card on Conan ( 4:04 ) , but even in slow motion I can't see him do it. You can see the cards he's taking off, and you can see the actual sequence at 3:30 where he shows the 9 of hearts, ace of hearts and three of hearts. You can see the 9 and ace come off, and conan says stop. The 3 is next, but Teller pulls off the 4 of spades instead. I see his hands pause for a second, but I can see the top card, and I don't see anything move. So good.
Penn and Teller are so great. I love Bullshit and everything they stand for.
Wow for the first time I could tell exactly how a pen and teller trick was done before they explained it. Card was already in his mouth torn in the specific way. You can see the pen marks tracing out the "tear"
Not how they did it lol
Idk if you are being serious or just kidding. The marks are there to make it obvious how the trick was done
Iove that you could see the pencil marks at the end.
I doubt it actually gave anything away, but it was a nice touch.
Penn and Teller's Bullshit needs to make a comeback.
5:31 THAT'S when the real magic happened. *wink, wink*
I hope they upload more Penn & Teller appearances
i love this trick because its so easy to do in fact that card could've shown up any where they wanted but its was fun to have it under a concrete block
Single stepping the frames (, and . on PC keyboard) between 4:26 and 4:27 is when it appears that Penn's left hand slips the second torn card up into Teller's mouth through the opening at the bottom of the block structure. That's assuming that there were two identical cards stacked when it was torn. Penn would have also had to of palmed the second corner before handing it to Conan (relatively easy to do while he was moving his arms back and forth).
It's hard to see, because there are like five hands there moving around very quickly and hiding Penn's left hand the moment it goes up into the bottom of the block.
That's the only time I can see where one of the torn cards could have wound up in Teller's mouth.
Then of course, the other torn copy was burned in the tongs.
Love the pencil on the card @6:29. Instructions to the intern on where to cut the card. :P
yeah I notice it too
@Cleo Valeriano Everyone report the above reply
That's actually ink inside the card. Tear any playing card, Pokemon heard, MtG card, you'll have the same mark.
Ah yes, Penn & Teller: Bullshit will go on forever. I'm really enjoying the new episodes.
He was just bullshitting you
Of all the penn & teller sketches or acts I've seen this seemed to be the dullest one but I still love these two dudes
Around 4:25 is when the exchange happens. Teller hands Penn the corner piece and then Penn hands Teller a different corner piece that he hands to Conan.
Excellent catch!
Penn looks so massive sitting on that sofa.
Or a really small sofa.
I'm met him. I'm 6'7" and he's taller than me, probably 6'8" or 9"
@Marie Whitbread i will reiterate. I've met him in person. I know how tall I am (6'7" on the nose). He was slightly taller than me. Maybe he's shrunk a bit as this was almost 20 years ago, maybe he was wearing thick soled shoes, but I think the internet is wrong sometimes.
I was on stage with Penn and Teller once. We rehearsed, I had one simple job……and I blew it! I blew it! Penn tried to save it by throwing the blind back on the cage….but I blew it. My only chance for them to save me from my college drudgery by asking me to join them on the road.
I'm sorry to hear that! At least you had a chance and it was probably entertaining for everyone there
you would probably not get the chance anyways have done this kind of thing many times too
They had a whole narrative planned out for this bit. They really put effort into looking effortless for sure.
Penn & Teller are the GOATs
04:07 Penn returns half the deck into his right pocket but places the remainder of the deck into his left pocket. This is when he takes out the prepared corner and keeps it in his left hand.
04:25 Penn swaps the prepared corner from his left hand. He is pretending he's taking the ripped corner from Teller but he's in fact passing his prepared corner to Conan. Teller vanishes the corner he had just ripped off in his right hand. Notice how they don't really compare if the ripped corner he gave Conan matches the ripped card.
04:44 when Penn yells at Teller to get out the tongs, he proceeds to 'search' for it in both his pockets, because he has obviously forgotten in which pocket the tongs are. He's in fact vanishing the new ripped corner in his right pocket while taking out the tongs from the left one.
They burn the new ripped card whose ripped corner is in Teller's riht pocket. Then they break the concrete revealing the old prepared ripped card that has been there all along and match it with the old prepared ripped corner Penn has passed to Conan. Of course, there was force. You're welcome.
Teller has really came out of his shell
For my Dad’s 80th bday I booked Penn to do a video bday greeting for him. He was so funny & did such an amazing job. My Dad couldn’t believe it. He loves them.
New twist on a trick I’ve done for 45 years.
Except for Teller’s head in concrete the spectator choses one of the lemons chosen at the beginning of the trick.
oh, those fertile fields of bull bleep.
they truly span every inch from coast to coast. bleeping bleep!
Penn: IT FITS EXACTLY!!!
Me: yeah coz you switcherood at 4:25 🙄
... But wait!?
How'd he know it'd be the 4 of spades?🤔
Well it was on the top of the deck the whole time... He was never actually picking up the top card; not until Conan stopped. Neat slight of hand to force the card.
Weird thing is if I had seen this before P&T fool is, I wouldn't have a clue.
Thanks Penn and Teller; y'all really made magic more interesting
It was "Have some compassion!" that got me. Killed it.
