Ive now seen every episode of P&T fool us, and after careful consideration as much as I was blown away by some of the amazing card manipulators with great music and theatrics this one act you did is my favorite to watch because its so unique from all the rest and has roots in the glitches of reality we often don't take into consideration as well. great work, and part of me thinks you did fool them on a different level.
Oh wow! Thank you for this comment. It really means a lot to me you appreciate it on that level. I'm feeling very encouraged!
I seen what this gentleman did on ted talks and this chick was talking about exactly what you did! And she also pointed out that police do this with pictures with witnesses. They alter the picture of an individual they wanted prosecuted. It was like 2013 when I seen it or was it a guy very cool! For reals
"Glitches of reality"? You're trying too hard to sound sophisticated.

@@badwolf7367 Sssh... give the lappy back to grammy and time for napnaps. The adults are talking, now.
This act is so good and not even for the illusion. You literally don't know where the magic begins and where it ends. That ambiguity of what might be and what might be fake is the essence of the performance of magic.
AKA -- magic too fake to be real, thus not magic happened
@@automaticninjaassaultcat3703 hehe thats epic somehow ^^
@@automaticninjaassaultcat3703 wrong. And you used the word JUST 2 times in your comment... the second time you used it was your arrogance running wild. It was Just bla bla bla. Its called TALKING DOWN.
Check Your Ego SMART GUY, Because you didnt figure out the trick.
Love this trick because it allows the swapped item to be laid out in front of everyone's face without even being noticed. Great performance!
Right. Nothing suspicious about putting the picture behind the folder for no reason before putting it on the stand.
That’s what Penn said
Even if you didn't fool them, the amazed look in Penn's face and the smile that Teller shown in his face is proof that you did well! This is one of the best magic I've seen!

@@TylerTwombly how did your comment turned upside down?
@@Nico12420there is a website called fancy text generator.
halfway through, i was like "He already switched it!", but yet it still worked, since it still takes advantage of the psychology at play, whether your brain knows it's coming it or not. very nice idea and execution.
I had to watch it a second time to see when he swapped everything, but it's still really interesting that our brains filtered out that the fact that the images were switched. He's using two entirely different psychological principles to perform his act.
Yeah I was able to figure everything out upon a second viewing. But what is, as Teller said, brilliant is that he is already doing it right in front of us _while_ telling us that our minds are playing tricks on us and it _still_ works.
Yea I figured out on the first watch, second photo that he swapped it, had to watch it again for the first and third, but very cool and well done trick
I guess it's sometimes handy to be autistic. These altered face images never fooled me, upside down or right-side up. They always look like right-side-up eyes/mouths on an upside down face or vice versa. So I noticed immediately when he switched the photos.
Still a really cool trick, though.
@@PBTophie wow, that's cool
Perfect Penn and teller trick tbh. This is exactly what they do explain a trick and then take it to the next level while never ever really giving the trick away
You're on my level
this may not have won a fool us... but this was one of my favorite performances.... genius well done and give me so many ideas... awesome work man!
Why... did... you... put... so... many... ellipses...
@@HOTD108_ why not lol magi answer haha
I have been following magic for over 30 years, including watching every Fool Us episode. I think this is one of my all-time favorite acts.
That is some dedication! Thank you!
Its a shame there is no real audience it was too silent in there
@@TylerTwombly Can you be my friend ?
@@stevebalmer8888 aired 💀
2:18 Penn saying "It's me" is pretty cute. He sounded so happy. 😊
Okay, he said he didn’t fool them but the look on Penns face revealed a lot more
No Penn's _explanation_ told him he didn't fool them. Penn's prior expression is irrelevant.
you can be taken back by an effect in the moment then realize how it was done once you think about it...
I guess usually it's Penn being fooled and Teller explaining him..
Don't play spoilers for those who read comments while watching.
@@LinkRocks comments are for talking about the video? What were you expecting?
4:38 I love the expression on Penn's face (his actual face) right here. It's what I've been saying this whole performance. Just WOW!!!
I agree that Penn's actual face made some good expressions during my performance!
For those wondering 2:53 notice how he put the picture behind the file, the picture was swapped. The 2 normal pictures of pen and teller were overlaid on each other.
At 2:08 he also swaps his own face
The book is possibly done with multiple pages, maybe one is sticky. Just speculation though...
You didn't fooled me, you fooled my brain and now im confused... Bravo.. i would give you a trophy
Perhaps we could have a Fool Us spin-off called Confuse Us?
Perhaps my favorite performace because it uses something so near and dear to my heart with neuroscience. I did not even care about the magic, as I almost forgot about it during the trick until the very end. I could have just watched him go on about ways our brain fools itself.
Yess
3:55 best view of the house, lmao.
Man I clicked on your timestamp and an ad with a full view of an house popped up lmao
Nice job Tyler. I’m surprised no one is talking about the greeting card part of the trick. I think the card was like a book. He showed the audience the card already opened (to pages 1 and 2) where he placed his picture over page 1. He then closes the card then while delivering the verbal spiel and he presses on all four corners, which glue or tape pages 1 and 2 together. So when he opens it again, it’s shows pages 3 and 4 that we see with the group picture which was pre-setup ahead.
If it's ok to speculate on the technique ... While the sticky-corner technique would work, I suspect it is simpler than that. Notice that the front is symmetrical around the horizontal axis facing the audience, and that he spun the card around its it. If the prop were a tri-fold, with the left leaf folding in front and the right leaf going in back (so that it looks like a Z from the top), then the spin was not as a mere flourish but a change of orientation naturally resulted in exposing different faces (of the card) when opened.
Truly a wonderful trick. It's just simple slight of hand, but he has you so focused on the photos' differences from reality, you don't notice those differences when they're upside down. He also makes sure to put Teller's photo behind Penn's because by that time we're even more focused on the differences. Such great misdirection and arrangement of props.
Such a fun performance. I love educational magic tricks. I went back and watched it very carefully several times and figured out how it was done, and it's amazing how easily deceived the human mind can be
that was incredible and so well presented. excellent work blurring the lines before and after with your patter!
This might be my favourite act I’ve seen on the show. Love the combination of using neuroscience and magic. Brilliant.
Thanks for your appreciation! It means a lot to me.
Dude, you're definitely improving yourself, all this mind tricks are very cool i was so focused on the effect and the explanation i didn't see the magic at first, had to go to the very own magic of CZcams, now you owe us and will have to come back next time with something more!
Wow, watching Penn's expressions throughout the performance was great to see.
Penn’s job is to enjoy the magic. Teller’s job is to watch how it happened and explain it to Penn.
Very nice performance! Had to view it twice to see the mechanism. P&T did good job noticing the trick on first view - their facial expressions misled me thinking they would have missed the actual mechanism, too.
One of my favorites. Penn's Daniel Kahneman comment threw me off a bit, easily fixed. Very audible zippy sound at 4:43 and that look you gave the portrait was priceless. Tweak the sales pitch a little, tighten up or alter the tech, and it's gold. This is a wonderfully effective way to show people that their experiences of an external reality are abstractions, extrapolated from very limited sensory data using the shared biology of our species.
What's Penn mean saying the neural network stuff was stolen??? Lol
What was the zipper sound from? I thought it was sound effects! 😆
This facial recognition and overall object recognition trait is why we see faces in the dark, monsters, and pictures of Jesus on toast.
Pareidolia
Why do you have to talk about monsters? I am sleeping alone in my dark room. 😡
I see those things because they're actually there 😨
Is this why I always see dicks in when I look at clouds?
I've seen these upside down faces before, but this takes it to a whole new level. I didn't know our brains could still recognize such messed up faces
CZcams magician Chris Ramsay, a while back, showed a playing card with a celebrity on it. Her face was printed 2x on the card similar to how regular face cards are printed. "Right side up" and both images of the celebrity appeared to be smiling, but once flipped over and the other face was actually doing an exaggerated grimace. I could see something was off but couldn't tell what until Chris flipped the card.
I wonder if this works because we _already_ see the world upside down, so the brain's used to some vertical flexibility.
@@definesigint2823 Many years ago, some (I think German) scientists did an experiment where they gave a guy a pair of glasses that turned everything upside-down and he had to wear them constantly. At first he had trouble managing anything but it got to the point where he could ride a bicycle. When they took them off, the poor guy had to go through the whole process of learning everything again (I remember a video of him failing to shake hands).
I think the thing is that the brain makes it all up anyway: it constructs a model of the world from the various inputs and programs itself so that the model seems to work. It's not that the retinal image is upside-down: it's that the brain has to take whatever it gets (it doesn't know the image is upside-down: it's just a bunch of electrical signals, after all, it's not even an image until the brain makes it one) and produce behaviour that doesn't get us killed and helps us achieve our objectives (riding a bike, shaking hands - whatever). Just my two penn'orth. It was a long, long time ago that I heard about the experiment and I haven't--sorry--gone to check whether I can find it again. Maybe that's tomorrow's entertainment.

When he first show is picture and when placed his picture, on the stand, that was a second picture, with the mouth clearly upside down.
I’ve watched so many of these Fool Us Tricks on both TV and CZcams, and I think this is my favorite one ever. It was just so unique and cool!
Thanks! I appreciate you saying so!
Such a genius premise for a simple trick. Just the idea of it alone makes this one of my favorites regardless of the simplicity of the trick.
THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SEE!!! Sure i love card tricks and other things.. but i always love when there is some new stuff.. YOU ROCK..
After the reveal I had to back up the video to see where the photos had changed. Seriously a clever move and definitely one of my favorites I've seen from Fool Us. Awesome trick!
A relatively simple trick that is presented in such a mind numbing way. Absolutely beautiful presentation where the trick happens long before it's revealed and buried in a real brain numbing effect. Fantastic idea and presented beautifully. Good show Sir!
Slide of Hand photo changes at 2:10 & 2:55 & 3:31 but so cool and great performance! really like it!
Very cool.
You should get an award for explaning the difference between perception and reality.
Very noticeable swaps, check out 2:55 and you will see. As for the cars at the end, watch how he seals up the page with his photo in it and it’s preloaded with the order. Good prop.
crazy how such a simple sleight of hand can be so powerful when done properly. execution is key.
though it's your performance and charisma that take it to the next level. well done.
Thanks Konrad!
I watched this last night on live TV just had to come back and rewatch it because I love your personality
Why thank you!
Your Vid popped up in my feed so I had to watch. Long time fan of P&T (Bullshit was hands down one of my fave shows of all time) but don't watch much Fool Us sad to say, making up for it now. Your act was genius, I mean sheer brilliance sir! As they said at the end, you told us AS you were fooling us and that is kind of Meta. Well done, from concept to creation a masterclass in magic. Thank you!
One of the few tricks where I caught on pretty early but my brain was still fooled. Very cool.
This was so clever, loved the performance!
Brilliant presentation. your bring forth so much charisma and positivity. It was an honor to watch you perform.
I needed to rewatch that to know when you changed out the pictures. well done well done
I love this and those switches were fantastic! I only caught the one for Teller's on the first view, the others were sneaky and so well done.
It's amazing to see.man.great experience 🙌
Very nice. It's a credit to you that I don't want to re-watch to work out where things were happening and how.
Fantastic act and performance!
Masterful. It is very creative and well executed. It mix the sneaky stuff with visual illusion and is hard for us to know which is which, where one ends and the other begins. Very well thought. Made my brain itchy in a funny way.
You look so different from the first trick you did; that trick was delivered so well. Unforgettable.
Truly fantastic. Such a refreshing performance. Thanks for doing this.
2:55 the most suspicious movement in the whole trick.
i think i noticed it when it happened because of the glasses in the picture, if you saw the position of the eyes in them at the begining youre gonna notice it
I think 2:09 is more revealing. I didn't have to rewind and was more shocked at Penn's feigned amazement. Almost as bad as the actors behind them.
Excellent post!
This guy is good, I’m glad he came on the show!
Very entertaining and you caught my full attention the whole time, thank you.
A lovely compliment! Thank you!
This was fantastic from conception to implementation. It leaves you with confusion and wonder as to if it’s our minds that’s creating the illusion or the illusionist. Absolutely stunning.
Thank you!!! Your words are much appreciated.
Man, some of the double talk is really easy to notice, but other times, like it, it just sounds like Penn is rambling for a few minutes.
With that being said, what a fascinating act watching you play with faces and after a few views I still can't figure it out. Good work!
I don't get how they decide on the editing of the presentation some of these effects for the screen.
There was one shot that practically focused in on the move... and in some acts the editing seems to go out of its way to hide the effect.
P&T may have worked it out anyway, obviously, but for someone like me, who treats magic more like a sudoku, I want to have to work at figuring it out... I want to earn that AHA! But there was some shonky editing in presenting this as a "Magic Trick".
Had I been watching it from the audience, I doubt I would have spotted it... In fact I'm pretty certain I wouldn't and I'd still be trying to figure it out.
Good stuff Tyler, well done!
The real magic of this act was your explanation of perception transporting me back to my grad school lectures on Edmund Husserl.
Wow, excellent presentation! Might not be the fooliest fooler ever, but it was entertaining from start to finish!
Absolutely! That's all I want. Most tricks are recycled and I know how too many of them work by but that was incredible delivery!! Just entertain us. And he did.
Thank you! And "fooliest fooler" is a great new term!
@@TylerTwombly you could show me how you do every single trick and I would still pay good money to watch you perform. Incredible entertainment. Nice work fella!
@@TylerTwombly Did your surname used to be (generations ago) "Tremblay" ?
@@Malfehzan It used to be Onembly, but now it's Twombly
Nice! I caught the exchange in real time, but only because I was already familiar with the optical illusion and it gave me a good idea of how it would be exploited.
So fun, I had a good time watching, thanks :)
This performance was awesome. Fooler or not, this was a great show
What a crazy magic idea. I loved it ❤️👍
It’s basic slight of hand but the psychology and performance is absolutely awesome!
What a concept! I know about the optical illusion but using it in a magic trick like that was really cool. :)
This is impressive. It is a simple trick, but I simply couldn't see it. Your presentation is so perfect and I really didn't see it the first time.
This speaks to your skill to do this, and Penn and Teller for being able to see it. Really great job all around and very entertaining and I honestly loved this. One of my favorite performances on the show!
What a great performance!
Very cool trick. Super unique. Loved it.
So awesome!! What a great trick 👍
I saw the slight of hand but it was so fast I was still mesmerized!!!
"We couldn't live without shortcuts."
I'm pretty convinced that emotions are, themselves, shortcuts. Shortcuts from inputs that have a usually-useful response that we emotionally find satisfying. The more critical the thing is to get a snap decision right, the more intense the emotion, and associated urges to act on it.
I highly suggest you read Dr. Eyal Winter's book: Feeling Smart: Why Our Emotions Are More Rational Than We Think.
It's a book that has information on the matter - was very interesting tome.
@@galgrunfeld9954 To add to the reading load:
How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain
by Barrett, L. F
@@ConstantlyDamaged If we're bringing in things to read, we absolutely need to suggest the scientist mentioned in the video - Dr. Daniel Kahneman - and his book, Thinking, Fast and Slow. It doesn't cover the emotional angle, but it does speak more to the shortcuts and can help explain what the nature of these shortcuts (or "system 1 thought") is.
@@roguishpaladin Ooh. Thanks. I'll look that one up!
That is an absolutely beautiful routine!!! Very smooth, you forgot he's doing a magic trick, perfect :D
Thanks but more importantly, is your display name a brag? Serious question.
Yeah, there was no magic in it, very pedestrian!
Absolutely beautiful trick, very nice story telling !
Thank you!
It's very clever to combined the Thatcher effect with magic, it made the whole trick much more interesting
There is slight of hand at work, when he puts his picture back in the folder, he swaps it with the messed up one, When he puts Tellers in the bracket, he puts it behind Penn's and slides out another unaltered picture. etc. etc. Compare 1:54 to 4:11 for a side by side proving it's not your brain reshuffling, but him.
@@kingrama2727 Maybe try watching the video before commenting. They did figure it out. Not to mention the fact that the video watchers always have an advantage in figuring things out. We can rewind and rewatch as many times as needed and in slow motion.
@@saber-jocky3436 wtf are you talking about?
They did figure it out.... Did you watch it?
@@POWERmmmSomething 😂 a fair question indeed... I think they were immediately suspicious when he put the picture back in the folder at 2:07... Tellers face after that tells everything
Caught how the trick was done. Took me a bit because of how good a talker Tyler is, but I'm impressed. I didn't catch it on the first try, and slowly caught each one after another viewing. Bravo. I'm impressed. Very very bold performance.
Both of your performances were amazing even if P&T weren’t fooled. You’ve got some unique and interesting tricks
Nope Nope,
Thanks thanks!

nice clean setup . i liked.
So amazing! Awesome job Tyler 😎
Thank you! I believe you to have also done an awesome job!
Saw this live last night, great job! 👏🏻
Thanks!
@@TylerTwombly no thanks needed, you absolutely deserve recognition!
I love tricks like this.
BRILLIANT!!! Loves this
+Tyler Twombly Wow, that was a fantastic effect and a fantastic presentation.
If you turn your phone upside down and rewatch it you can see where and how he swaps all the photos. When he has Penn's photo, there are actually two behind them, one each of Penn and Teller which are the correct versions. Right before he puts Penn's photo on the stand, he removed the bad photo using the stripped folder. You can follow the rest easily.
very apparent when he puts tellers photo on the stand, he actually puts it behind Penns and then slides it over together with a correct version, being upside down does the trick of concealing it, that's also why he squares up the pictures
@@Shadow__X it's even more apparent when you can actually hear him do the swap on Penn over the microphone 😆
Wow you must be fun at parties 🤦🏼♂️
@@benja1378 your fault for going into the comment section, what did you expect?
Don't know why I only hear the sound when I turn my phone upside down
I like the way you play with what the brain assumes in more ways than how many you say in the video.
Wonderful act!
Watch it again with your phone turned upside down. Very cool.
Can see the sneaky moves now
Muahahaha!
Brillant act 🥳 incredible swaping ideas : hard to make it more simple and efficient than this 👍
Best majic tric i ever saw. You are fantastic.
My mom says the same thing. Thanks!
What I like most about this performance is that I walk away with a little better understanding of how we think and perceive. This whole business of the brain scrambling to make things fit an expected pattern might go beyond facial recognition into realms such as figuring out what people say and mean, where we often make mistakes because we innately make assumptions. You've given me much to think on!
It goes way beyond that. Everything you perceive, everything you see, hear, touch, smell, taste and beyond is not reality, it is all made up by your brain. When awake your brain is constantly feeding a simulated version of reality to your consciousness. You never "see" the raw visual data from your eyes, nor "hear" what your ears hear, your brain takes all the data and gives it to you in an easily digested form for you to consciously perceive. This results in comical errors like in this video, or other videos where you can hear a crowd chanting many different thing based on the text presented but it can also be horrifying when it goes wrong (psychosis).
My personal favorite example of this is the blind spot. Every mammalian eye has a blind spot due to our retinas being inside out. In order for the information to get to the brain it has to travel back through the retina and it does this at the optic disc. This is the area where all the fibers of the optic nerve come together to exit the eye. As a result there are no light sensing structures there, it is literally a blind spot. Mammals have two eyes so the blind spot of one eye is always covered by the other eye. However, if you close one eye you don't see a black spot like you should. There is nothing in the optic disc to detect the light so why is there no black spot? It's because the brain is making it all up! It just fills it in based on the surrounding area.
The ultimate reason our brains can do this is evolution. It is much more costly to miss a real pattern than to "see" a pattern which does not actually exists. I.e. your brain evolved to see a lion stalking you, or a rival hiding in the bushes ready to attack, so well that it will create patterns of big cats or enemies' faces in anything that remotely looks that way even if they aren't really there. This is a type I error, "seeing" something that isn't really there. A type II error is missing what is actually there. As you have probably already concluded, type I errors are pretty harmless, maybe gives you a good scare, maybe leads to superstitious or supernatural thinking. But type II errors can be absolutely deadly. So your brain errs so hard on the side of type I errors that it is easily fooled by anything that looks remotely like a pattern.
I really liked this trick. The card at the end was a sweet touch.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you appreciated the card.
I caught the switches with the first three portraits because im pretty familiar with the upside down face effect, but they were really clean. The last part of the effect was also really good.
Great work man
It's all about performance and you proved it.
Just genuinely fun to watch. I'm not even combing the comments for theories. I like the mystery.
No need to comb. It was straight obvious. Glad you enjoyed it though.
4:37, One of world's greatest magician says WOW for your magic bro, you nailed it 🔥🔥🔥
This is actually an incredible trick. So much improved on your last show
It's probably all those self-help books for therapist-magicians i've been reading...
Me too I was fascinated. Thanks.
