    There's two records. The initial reveal of the record shows that it is rather thick. It's both a regular record and a gimmick record. It might be why she has Brooke stand back a few steps so she doesn't see how thick the record is. The gimmick record has a collapsible groove in it to allow the needle to pass through it. Both records go in the box. The needle and ribbon go through both records. Brooke grabs the ends of the ribbons. Helen pulls the gimmick record up leaving the original record in the box with the ribbon through the hole. The ribbon is now going from Brooke's left hand, through the side of the box then the real record in the box, up to the gimmick record, back down to the hole in the back of the box and to her right hand. She then puts the needle through only the real record. When she reinserts the gimmick record, she spins the record to line up the groove so that the needle collapses the gimmick allowing the needle to pass through it. After it's in, the groove is pointing down and you can see her spin the record in the box on the needle with her finger two times to get the record to spin 180 degrees. The groove in the gimmick record is now lined up vertically with the needle, she lets go of it, the record drops out of sight and we hear it land as she removes her hands from the box. She then pulls out only the real record with the needle and the ribbon through it.

    I didn't figure it out but once reading someone else's solve, it's pretty simple. Cool trick. You can see the two records very briefly when she drops it into the box, at 2:25 - the hole in the middle is perfectly aligned, and then when the record is dropped (2:27) you can see the two records are slightly out of line, meaning the hole is more crescent moonish, rather than fully round. Cool trick. Props to her Dad, he's clearly got a knack for making some awesome gimmicks!

She threads the needle and ribbon through both at the same time, then lifts the fake record out of the box. She threads the needle back through the real record before pushing the fake record down, which then collapses in some way and falls into the cabinet. The revealed record at the end is real, as is the needle, which is why she was happy to give them to P&T. Of course, immediately offering them to P&T also served the purpose of distracting them from coming up and inspecting the box/cabinet.

      Look at 4:39 to 4:41 in slow motion. It's clear that the needle gets shorter and then longer. You can even see the color change on the threaded end of the needle. It's hollow, and split into two. When the record first gets inserted, it splits apart into two pieces. Then the hole reaches the needle, and it "jumps" out to be longer again. There's clearly an outside tube to hide the inner workings, and an inner rode to connect the two halves and make them stronger.
      She fooled them because they knew the needle was gimmicked, but the machining was so good they couldn't figure out how. It just looks like a solid needle.
      There's clearly some trick to set it up. The wooden thing at the beginning is likely key to setting it up.

    My best guess: it's a variation on the the doughnut on the ribbon trick. Two records (instead of doughnuts), one is a real actual record, the other, that get pushed down is made of some destructible material that breaks and falls through a hole in to the base.
    The Coghlans used a trick chemical as 'milk' in their previous fool of P&T, which points to them having some expertise in trick materials.

    • @onlyspam408
      @onlyspam408 Před 2 měsíci

      The record she pulled up is fake like a thick paper. The contraption allows the thick record paper to slide down and ribbon slide out of its cut. When the assistant pulls the string, she pulls the string out of the fake record. The main difference is the shininess of the fake and the real record.

    I'm guessing some sort of double layered record. One full/complete one and a gimmick one with some sort of break. When see the threaded gimmick record being lifted out of the box (4:25), the ribbon is running through the full record which is still down inside the box. When the gimmick record is lowered it gets concealed/split into the box doors, OR it drops through the bottom and into the table. If you look at the orientation of the writing on the record label, it rotates from when it is lowered to when the door open.
    Regardless if I'm right or wrong, close or way off, it's still a great trick!

      No that's a frame drop. I looked at that a few times (it's legit). No one is thinking about the "wooden" box. If you look at time (2:24) you can see "wooden" stick out that don't make sense for the rest of the build... Why would those be there?
      And then you ask "how did she thread the needle?"
      She put a magnetized metal cap up a wooden thing that magnetize. So with a simple strong magnified element it would would bond... Cause Penn and Teller would try to break it apart from the middle, but not the top.
      Then you have the needle going through.... Cause wow.... why is there an inch and a half between the two boards that have wooden rods that make no sense to be there on the inside of the box on all sides? It was custom.
      The trick is not slight of hand but good engineering with really strong magnets.

    At the 4:22 mark, the record is really two round parts stuck together. Helen separates and pulls up and out only the brittle fake record (bfr) leaving the real record in the box. She then puts the large needle through the hole in the box and through the real record. Then forcing the brittle fake record (bfr) back into the box the needle splits/breaks the brittle fake record (bfr) and the bfr falls down into the black table out of sight leaving the real record still in the holder with the ribbon and needle still in the center. Cool trick. Invented by her 91 year-old father.

    • @titmusspaultpaul5
      @titmusspaultpaul5 Před 3 měsíci +1

      Not sure if that would work as you'd need both parts of the record to move. I think its much simpler given the props and that they examined the record. They would have noticed some residue (the record being sticky, a small part of the "fake" record etc...). Good guess but I don't think you have it.

    • @Darenimo
      @Darenimo Před 3 měsíci +2

      @@titmusspaultpaul5 It being two records is correct, how the second one slips free of the string could be that it breaks, or has a split through t. At 4:40 she is seemingly adjusting something with her hands, so that might be it. When she positions the record cabinet on the table, she is very careful to position it 'correctly' which leads me to think there might be a hole in the table where the fake record can fall into. Another way might be that when placing the gimmick record back into the box, it doesn't go into the box. It goes into the cavity of the rear doors. Those rear doors are two pieces of plywood with a very small gap. This still allows the ribbon to go back into place. This cavity could have a sharp edge just above the position of the needle so that the gimmick recrord is cut and allowed to be inserted all the way in. When the rear doors are opened, it cracks/splits/breaks the gimmick record into two pieces. The doors open backwards and are obscured by the real record in front anyways.
      Either way, what is left is a real record, real needle and real ribbon.
      To be fair, there's so many ways the duplicate could be gimmicked, that it's hard to guess the exact method, but it being a second, gimmicked record is probably right.

      - secondly, her 'patter' is absolutely awful.

There are two records stuck together, one vinyl, and one of a breakable, perhaps "paper-cellulose" or a "sugar" type material. She pulls the ribbon through both of the records, after the needle is out, notice she separates the two records with her thumbnail as she lifts the breakable record out, leaving the vinyl record in the cabinet. Then she places the needle back into the vinyl record still in the cabinet, when the breakable record comes back down, it is broken by the needle, freeing the ribbon from the breakable record. Then, via a mechanism, trap door perhaps, it's disposed of. She really should work on getting the breakable record to have the same shiny finish like the vinyl record.

    Well I'm super at a loss. Near as I can tell the needle has to be gimmicked, not the records. But I don't see any opportunity for her to have swapped the gimmicked needle for a different one. She is wearing short sleeves and Brooke is right there the whole time and can see both in front of and behind the rig. So it really seems like the needle she offers P&T is the same one she used for trick
    Furthermore it's pretty bold to use a record as the item that passes through the needle. Because the surface of a record is very fragile and easily scratched. And yet she offers both of these to P&T to examine closely. And they damn sure know all the things to look for.
    On top of the her placement of the record in the device as well her pushing the needle through to begin with all seem rather haphazard. The hole the needle goes through lets it sit in there kind of wobbly. The exact opposite of what you would naturally want for a gimmick to have the best chance to work.
    It's like she really went out of her way with every detail in order to make the trick harder to pull off. Because just merely fooling them wasn't enough I guess. She left them completely baffled.

    • @trentvlak
      @trentvlak Před 4 měsíci +5

      I have an idea. It's possible to machine two sides of a threaded metal object to come together with no visible seam. What if she had a locking mechanism to split the needle in half then locked it hard together in that last motion when she has the needle and record in her hands? There would be no visible seam and Penn would have to put a huge amount of force to unscrew it.

      Look at the way she handles the needle after the trick, she is pressing the needle from both sides, I think that locks it into place permanently. The needed can be taken apart, but using some action can be locked, similar to how an umbrella is locked...only irreversible locking

    • @George_vv
      @George_vv Před 4 měsíci +3

      My theory for how it was done is more in the idea that there are two records (one whole and one split and hidden in the back doors). I still don't really have a clue how the needle threading trick was done although I think I have seen it before.

    I think the record she pulled up with the string on was a duplicate and when she pushed it down it went straight down the big black stand leaving the normal one she had just pushed the needle through. That's how I think it worked. It worked to fool the great P & T and that's all that counts. That's my theory

    • @FusionDeveloper
      @FusionDeveloper Před 4 měsíci +2

      I think you are 100% right!
      They say, a magician never has anything "extra".
      Everything is a prop or used to hide something.
      The table she has it on, is large, black and solid, which is very unusual.
      Black colors are used in magic all the time to help reduce visibility, which even if you suspect it, by just being black, it's more likely to be missed.
      Also, you can see that she lined it up in a very specific pre-determined place and i swear it looks like i can see a black line on top of the table.
      (edit I missed the part that she shows it empty first) So there doesn't appear to be a record in the wooden box at the start because she shows it open. If the real record is in the box below... okay I'm lost.
      You can see it's still black in the wooden prop when she pulls that prop threaded record up.
      If you then look at the wooden prop, you can see that the bottom has a tall lip, which is used to hide the slot that goes into the tall black box below it.
      When she pushes the prop record down, she is turning the record so that it is facing a certain orientation, which is where it is sliced.
      You can see she pushes down past where the top of the record should be, and you hear a sound, this is her pushing the record through and landing on a platform in the large black box.
      As far as whether or not all the records looked the same inside, I don't know, but that would make this trick easy.
      If all the actual real records are unique, then there would have to be another way to do this.
      Also, you can see how much room there was for the record in there, plenty of room for her to stick her hands down into.
      You would think the slot would be just big enough for a record and could simply be released to fall down with gravity or for her to just pull the strings and have it pull the record down into the wooden box.
      This trick had me fooled until I read some comments and examined the video and did some thinking.

She then pulls out the fake record, and inserts the needle through the real record. She then puts the fake record back in, but it separates in half, allowing it to pass through the needle and the string, and it is pulled out the bottom by the person in the table.
