      stress is not natural
      edit:- I dont understand in what context i made this comment, I just mean to say that stress can be managed, if you are able to manage yourself really well you can make it so you are never mentally stressed, I would like to differentiate it between fatigue or tiredness
      stress at least the way I have defined it in my mind is that, it is more about worrying/anxiety and less about actual problem, for example one may be stressing about their exams instead of focusing or dealing with it in another manner, but this can be eliminated
      but without managing anything stress is indeed very natural
      and the fatigue/tiredness the man would have gone through while doing those things would have been huge

      @@pnut3844able to elaborate stress just decreases your capabilities leading to frustration or anxiety
      What the caveman had was either a fight or flight response most of the time or desperation
      Desperation actually can lead to either success or breaking your mind
      Stress is absolutely artificial coming from a constipated mind and millions of inconclusive or indecisive opinions about the world
      The caveman did not have time to make conclusions which were indecisive

      A lot of magic falls under very similar premises (stuff like fake shuffles, bottom dealing, forces, etc). Then sometimes common props are used (this deck is tapered). Everything else is just wrapping the trick up in different ways to make it shiny and new. But no matter the dressing, the same principals still exist. Once P&T spot the false shuffles at the beginning (which they can probably see with their eyes closed at this point), they have a very good idea how the rest of the trick is going to pan out.

    Ive watched EVERY single Fool Us episode since they started this show, and i believe this is the most times you see Alyson's mouth completely just dropped over and over again. I also don't believe in older episodes, that you ever see Jonathan's mouth drop this many times during one single magician's act. I'm a big fan of the show and believe that even if the act doesn't fool Penn & Teller, if it's done so flawlessly and beautifully, the magician should be able to go home with some kind of trophy or better yet, just for proving how great they can perform, give them one night in the Vegas show. I think that would be well deserved by Jimmy Ichihana & a lot of other magicians that weren't foolers, but just absolutely fantastic at their craft!

    Jimmy, first off well done. I know how you did this trick, but I'm more impressed with the fact that you can. That your brain can even process that amount of information required to pull this off is I think the truly amazing part of this.

      I think they indeed sometimes do. They just missed the mark on this one. Jimmy deserved the trophy here. Such wholesome presentation, just smooth flow throughout everything.

    • @coupdegrace2767
      @coupdegrace2767 Před 4 lety +22

      Trophy means little, for a magician reputation is what truly matters. They nailed this trick due to the fact that they recognized certain method, if they blatantly acted as if they got fooled, it is a direct hit to their reputation.

    • @d4rksol123
      @d4rksol123 Před 4 lety +16

      @@coupdegrace2767 Cant really agree with you. For 3 main reasons:
      1. Penn and Teller are probably the most recognized magicians in the world. One 'fooled us' is not going to do diddly squat to hurt their reputation.
      2. They have done this on other occasions.
      3. The show is designed in a way that reputation is not really at stake as much as you would think. They get one shot at guessing how something was done. A magician is able to use uncountable forced fakes or bluffs or make intentional mistakes to make it look like he/she did it one way when actually doing it another and Penn and Teller have to either get which one of the numerous methods was used this time or admit they got fooled. Fool us is not about Penn and Teller not knowing how the trick could have possibly been done, its about magician throwing enough smoke in their face to win on technicality.

      There's one where the guy did just that and got away with it. Look up "penn and teller most controversial fooled". It's super sketchy.

      But the goal is not, to do a trick that they can figure out, so well, that the „normal“ audience doesn’t see how it works, the goal is to do a trick so well, that they can’t figure out how it works.
      And for someone how does magic it was very easy to see how this trick worked, although it was very well done.

I had to watch it at least twice to really appreciate the art of your stage presence. You have to watch in slow-motion to even try to catch your moves, they are that smooth!
