@@ErzengelDesLichtes And I guess Penn realized that, and deliberately said something else. But then Ben might have anticipated it, and didn't choose that. And if Penn would have anticipated that.... well, anyone's guess how deep of a level they were playing at.
Well sort of. They do claim these shows and as such (likely) take the ad revenue that would otherwise go to the channel owners. Through the subsidiary/network All3Media.
The show makers get the ad money, the magician gets the really nice advertisement. Penn & Teller endorsing your act - even if you don't fool them - has got to be a pretty good thing to put on the resume.
I literally made this exact comment on the last Fool Us video I watched. Even if they do take the ad money it's quite nice that they allow the magicians to post it on their own channels.
I dunno i mean the act was great but the punchline actually was the magic which was very great and novel and creative but without the magic it would just be a guy telling a story about getting robbed. My point is i don't know if he would be a good comedian but he sure is an awesome magician.
This would have been so much cooler (IMO) if at the end he was like "and I still had all of my mon-" but when he flips open his wallet, the $100 bill is replaced with the 4 of Hearts (the card Penn chose at the beginning). Really nice performance, though.
It's really not hard to have your own channel 😂 clearly Penn and Teller wanted the individuals to gain from this TV show and decided to give them the rights to their own acts. Why would penn and teller need to benefit any more from this show anyway. Give the little guys a chance.
I loved the comedy bit in the beginning. Super funny, really made me laugh. Such great delivery. I know jack shit about magic but I also enjoyed the trick because I enjoyed the magician's personality.
Dude you're hilarious!! No forced jokes or awkward laughter, just professional sounding comedy with a pretty dead-pan expression! Nailed it! Oh and the trick rocked too ;)
Ben, as a fan of "The Hold Up". I 100% agree with Penn on that your version is way better. And I dunno, you're a fantastic magician but holy hell are you also one hell of a stand up comedian.
Such a great combo of jokes and magic. Just what I personally like to see when I attend magic shows. I've seen Ben do this in person a few times and it seriously never gets old. Can't wait to see what's next!
for someone with such a busy schedule and poor sleep pattern , the biggest magic in this video is how well and full of life he looks! id be looking like road kill after spending 95% of the year traveling!
"Oh a selfie?" "I just really wanted to take a picture of Penn and Teller with my arm around you." This was one of my favorite jokes I've seen on Fool Us, great job with the entire routine Ben.
What would really make this act amazing is at the end when you show your wallet if instead of the $100 bill you instead show the card that you had the audience member, in this case Penn, name at the start of the story on the inside of the wallet. That being said, great act.
+olehoncho This is actually an amazing idea that should be taken with the utmost seriousness. Though he should likely have the person write it down, or do something that can be referred back to. Your audience isn't likely to remember what they idly tossed out for an answer. Otherwise this would take a decent holdout trick to fancy new levels.
You seriously are a pretty good standup comedian as well. Anyone can think and write down something funny, rehearse it, and preform it. The delivery and cadence of the setups and punchlines is key. You nailed it. Thank you for making a stressful day x10 better
What I loved the most about this is that I'm guessing you absolutely knew going in that you weren't going to "fool" Teller of all people with a slight of hand routine, but rather just wanted to perform a really, really good routine with skill you came by homestly for one of the best slight of hand artists in the world. I love the idea of just wanting to perform well for a hero- and while my praise means shit all next to theirs, it was really a joy to watch. Thanks for that!
+vernonclassic actually you're incorrect. The effect concept predates tommy wonder by many years. And the method you see is my own. It doesn't use any of the mechanics of the previous incarnations and isn't "push button" as you say.
My point isn't really resting on whether it's a mechanical off the shelf gag or completely original so much as the fact that sneaking any slight of hand past Teller honestly is just under sneaking a card trick past Ricky Jay on the good friggin luck scale, no matter whether you invented the method behind the effect or not. I could be way off base, as I am not a magician, but it's my impression as a fan that Teller is about as legit as they come when it comes to vanishes and productions and so on.
Very simple trick, but very beautifully done, and what a great confidence on the stage, and a funny performance! It's a bliss to watch, thanks for that!
I went to the magic castle recently and it seemed to be a trend that magicians were introducing a lot more comedy into their routines these days. You pulled off a great mix of comedy and magic..congrats to you.
+Tony Tiger I went at the invitation of a magician that was performing that night. It was Halloween, a packed house, and probably a different experience than other nights there. But yes I definitely know what you mean...it was frustrating to not have a chance to see the bigger shows because I didn't have dinner there. Plus my other complaint was that the drinks were super stingy for the enormous price tag on them. $15 for two sips worth of whiskey sour along with 10 ice cubes. I guess I know to order beer next time ;) Overall it was a cool experience to be there though!
YOu know ... had Penn accidentally picked the right card right off the bat - I might have stopped right there and exited looking real significant. Of course it would have killed any further entertainment value but ...
I absolutely love the misdirection as he throws the ripped up pieces of the envelope through the air. You can see him reach into his pocket and put the ring back on just as he does, but you would never notice it live, without being able to rewind, it's simply perfect.
I accidentally noticed this and it ruined that single part of the trick for me 😂 I still don’t know where he got the watch unless it was already on his arm
I met this guy on a cruise ship and he is wonderfully cool! He loved my "Walter White" shirt. His act is also very entertaining as well as AMAZING. He will make your jaw drop!
+Riz Aqua your guesses are wrong. Also, I'm not sure what you think you're accomplishing by guessing the method on a public forum. You've missed the point entirely.
+Ben Seidman I've been checking out these videos from the Fool Us show and you are a complete delight, Ben! I wanna see a live show and I NEVER want to see live shows anymore, just because I got health issues and it's inconvenient, but I really, really wanna see you live. Do you have any plans to come to Colorado any time soon? Anywhere in the state, I don't care, I'll try my damnedest to be there (although you're chances of me coming do go up 100% if you come to Colorado Springs, hint hint wink wink lol XD)
+deathskilledreaper What an honor. I don't have any CO shows on the books but when that changes i can let you know. Just send me an email with your city name in the subject line. My email is on my website, just google me! Would love to meet you after a show.
+Official Master Max He's an American dude that records himself discussing topics and doing everyday things. Made popular by CZcams and Tumblr, Tyler was able to gain millions of CZcams subscribers. People enjoy him because of his quirky, comedic quips and overall playful and silliness. He's also gay but I don't think that's too relevant. I personally never really liked Tyler's skits, but other people do, so yeah.
I have been watching this show religiously and this is hands down the best act. Not only funny and entertaining you took all of the allotted time and told a story only doing one trick instead of "machine gunning" a bunch of tricks hoping one fooled them. Amazing job, I loved every second of it.
I absolutely loved it and would go to your show in a second, which I don’t think I could say for some that even did manage to fool P&T. Loved everything from top to bottom. One of the most memorable and engaging ones I’ve seen. Thank you 😊
+Ben Seidman Come to New Zealand, Ben. We need your special brand of schtick. We've even got homeless people now, so you can use that joke here. I kid you not. It's a recent thing.
such a good act . wonderful magic . great comedy . usually i rewatch these kind of videos to know how the magician do those things . but seriously i dont even want to know how this trick work , it is perfect
I thought it was sort of strange he was just telling jokes at first, but when he did his trick it made me completely forgive him for making me think I started watching a laugh factory video xD
One of the funniest routines I've seen. And I don't know why some people think that comedy and magic isn't synonymous. Penn & Teller themselves have lots of comedy in their shows, as well as many other magicians.
That is probably the funniest magic performance I've ever seen. What a ridiculously great line of dialogue that included some double entenders I'm not even sure you meant to throw in there. So glad that Penn and Teller didn't bust the trick because I'd love to see that one in person one day.
+Reego Gabrang I disagree, I'll clap silently in an audience for a subtle reference. Sometimes someone sees you, sometimes no one does. This guy had a camera this time.
4:04 - Puts empty wallet in his pocket and takes another hidden wallet and puts it on his waist 4:25 - Grabs his ring with his left hand 4:37 - Pushes hidden watch down to his wrist then pulls his sleeve up.
First time I am seeing this. This was truely amazing. I love this type of magic. So edgy and practical. Good story telling as well. I could literally visualize it in my mind.
+Ben Seidman Well, I would prefer to watch a two hour magic show with 10 tricks instead 1 or 2... that would be boring and a waste of money for me... People didnt choose a Magic Show without a reason you know... :p but keep it up. theres an audience that will enjoy that.
1 in 52 chance of fooling them with that first trick. genius.
Winter Summers I’d bet it was the 3 of Clubs since that’s Penn’s favorite card to force.
@@ErzengelDesLichtes That was my guess too xD
even if he had the right card. it doesn't fool them. they knew he was doing a 1 in 52 trick. so not fooled.
He probably has multiple cards hidden somewhere and if by chance Penn would've chosen one of them, he could've done something.
@@ErzengelDesLichtes And I guess Penn realized that, and deliberately said something else. But then Ben might have anticipated it, and didn't choose that. And if Penn would have anticipated that.... well, anyone's guess how deep of a level they were playing at.
It is really cool that the show producers/CW let all the performers post these vids to their CZcams pages.
I agree
Well sort of. They do claim these shows and as such (likely) take the ad revenue that would otherwise go to the channel owners. Through the subsidiary/network All3Media.
Agreed, considering most companies nowadays just try to copyright everything they're associated with to the point that is disgusting.
The show makers get the ad money, the magician gets the really nice advertisement. Penn & Teller endorsing your act - even if you don't fool them - has got to be a pretty good thing to put on the resume.
I literally made this exact comment on the last Fool Us video I watched. Even if they do take the ad money it's quite nice that they allow the magicians to post it on their own channels.
At the start I completely forgot that it was a magic show, and got really into his comedy. He would make a great stand up comedian
Thanks Lili!
great way to make people less perceptive.
I thought the same thing. Even though I came for the magic I was kinda hoping he'd drag it on longer.
Well if he's doing 200 shows a year he's probably booked by comedy club often so it doesn't hurt to be funny I guess.
I dunno i mean the act was great but the punchline actually was the magic which was very great and novel and creative but without the magic it would just be a guy telling a story about getting robbed. My point is i don't know if he would be a good comedian but he sure is an awesome magician.

that would have been awesome!
Also impossible
Not impossible at all. Deck in the jacket pocket... any good magician can pull a card from a new deck
Chase Meta
I was thinking instead of a 100.00$ bill it was 5 20's
He was assuming Penn was going to say 3 of Clubs
"I've always wanted to take a picture of Penn & Teller while my arm was around you." LOLOL
+jrjubach That will be amazing if it turns out that he took the pics of Penn & Teller AND Jonathan Ross & himeself during those couple seconds.
PearlescentAquamari Samsung phones have a camera mode called 'Dual Camera', which takes both pictures at the same time.
sadly this is a shitty iphone
That selfie gag is just priceless.
Jonathan 's reaction makes it ever better.
Awkward humour at its best!
He got that idea from me
I was expecting him to pick the hosts pocket
@@cd5steve same lol
That would have been awesome if Penn guessed the right card
How do you know he didn't? If he did, it would have ruined the first gag.
and I'm 99% sure he had a 3 of Clubs in his hand! 😂
If he had, then instead of playing it off as a gag, he would have completely fooled them with that one.
He had 1 in 52 shot. Not bad.
@@hq3473
Imagine going on Penn & Teller, doing a simple card trick that has a 1/52 chance, and winning. They'd never figure it out.
Yup hes a wizard. 6:47 hes walking off 6:49 hes gone.
Shake Exactly what I was thinking 😂
Lol
Yup Jesus confirmed
XD
😄
One of the funniest segments in the history of the show! Awesome trick.
+Larry Fine thanks Larry! For realz!
I think the best magic trick he did was when he completely vanished between 6:47 and 6:50
amen
+Jacob Marley Mears can we get this guy some likes?
+Jacob Marley Mears yes. just like Christianity and other mythology in recent times.
+Jacob Marley Mears this comment deserves more thumbs up xD ahahaahahahaahaha
+Jacob Marley Mears Quality Banter
Holy shit every magician that performs in Penn n Teller has his own channel, like, everyone...
apostolos Papadopoulos I know! And they always put their acts on their channel, if only fool us had their own channel
apostolos Papadopoulos yeah apparently it's not 1873 any more, but who would knew that?!
It's really not hard to have your own channel 😂 clearly Penn and Teller wanted the individuals to gain from this TV show and decided to give them the rights to their own acts. Why would penn and teller need to benefit any more from this show anyway. Give the little guys a chance.

They're all professionals.

My favourite act on Fool Us ever! The monologue leading up to the trick was just brilliant. Well done Ben.
+Richard Bellars Thank you Richard!!
+Ben Seidman this was actually amazing!! keep doing what you do, pure brilliance
thank you so much! I will keep doing it. I have no other skills.
+Ben Seidman Said the magician who also plays music, acts, and is apparently a damned fine stand-up comedian. XD
ha! those count as skills?!
Dude you're hilarious!! No forced jokes or awkward laughter, just professional sounding comedy with a pretty dead-pan expression! Nailed it! Oh and the trick rocked too ;)
+Mugsy Hazard thanks yo!
He’s the only one who’s made me laugh on this show lol. In fact, funnier than most Netflix comedy specials too.
He performed on a cruise ship I was on! He was equally funny and nice.

no , im jewish

I think the best part of your act was getting teller to literally laughed out loud
+phil roberts Ha! So True!
Brilliant in every way. Smooth, hilarious, and very entertaining.
+Anonymous Thank you!!!
The magic was just the cherry on top of this comedy show lol :D

What would really make this act amazing is at the end when you show your wallet if instead of the $100 bill you instead show the card that you had the audience member, in this case Penn, name at the start of the story on the inside of the wallet.
That being said, great act.
+olehoncho If he did that and fooled them he would be world famous.
That would be a great trick... with a little sleight of hand and and a sorted deck in his pocket, he could pull it off.
+olehoncho the card is a ice breaker
+olehoncho This is actually an amazing idea that should be taken with the utmost seriousness. Though he should likely have the person write it down, or do something that can be referred back to.

The reverse selfie made me laugh so hard. 😂
One of the best and funny performance. thumbs up !

6:18 the guy at the back started clapping, but then realised no one else did so he stopped... lol! xD
hahahaha
Reego Gabrang hhahaahahahahha
Reego Gabrang hey you are out of focus 😁

I disagree, I'll clap silently in an audience for a subtle reference. Sometimes someone sees you, sometimes no one does. This guy had a camera this time.
That's not what happened and everyone who agreed with you is an idiot.
This is by far my favourite, so good!
What a classy artistic magician, I truly appreciate that . And he’s funny as hell! Act is easy to follow and captivates because of its wow factor.
I enjoyed that so much. Thanks for inspiring me as you have through this performance. You rock.
+GregoryL Thank you Gregory!
4:04 - Puts empty wallet in his pocket and takes another hidden wallet and puts it on his waist
4:25 - Grabs his ring with his left hand
4:37 - Pushes hidden watch down to his wrist then pulls his sleeve up.
man, thats pretty obvious, the hard part is where did he put the first set of items
@@ToMeK3001pro he never put them in the envelope.... Watch it in .25 slow Mo ..
@@kedovey6953 where does he put them
@@HalfMask somewhere in his pockets. Simple sleight of hand that pretends to put item inside the envelope but the items are hidden in his palm.
Did you figure that out all by yourself? Good job! Now you can color with crayons if you keep it up!
And you were perfect!! A lot of fun to watch!
First time I am seeing this. This was truely amazing. I love this type of magic. So edgy and practical. Good story telling as well. I could literally visualize it in my mind.
not sure if magic show or standup comedy
just wanted to post that comment...
Is it a crime for the act to be both?
+PCjabber Thank you! Not sure why everyone is so confused.
PCjabber when did anybody say it was a crime?
+Ben Seidman
Well, I would prefer to watch a two hour magic show with 10 tricks instead 1 or 2... that would be boring and a waste of money for me...
People didnt choose a Magic Show without a reason you know... :p but keep it up. theres an audience that will enjoy that.
He's good, and cute! Great job!
What I like about this is not just the trick but comedy in the beginning.
"I've always wanted to take a picture of Penn and Teller while my arm was around you"
Actually lost it
This is great! He performed this for a DECA conference a few years back
+Tanner Hagen well remembered man! you got to see it before the world :)
He took my ring, he took my Rolex, I looked at the brotha and said damn what’s next?
i understood that reference 😉
It was a clear black night, a clear white moon...
Can't have shit in Vegas.
The jokes were perfect! Thanks for not spoiling the ending by putting it in the title. Great routine.
The main reason why I like Fool Us is because there are many different types of comedy. And you were the best one yet
