    Penn and Teller have a brilliant double misdirection built into their act. While Penn is clearly drawing the attention because he's big and loud, you start to think "I need to keep an eye on that shifty little bastard over there" and you just keep getting pulled back and forth and you can't focus on either one entirely.

      Penn has always said he is “carnie trash”. He graduated clown college, after all. Most of his acts are mentalism, juggling and other miscelanous acts of wonder. Teller has always been the “magician” of the two, and in their shows, he is always the one doing slight of hand, disappearances and such.

    *The Reveal:*
    *Set up:*
    The pack of cards was organized in a way Penn remembered, the shuffle in the beginning was "the juggle", he practiced on that shuffle before. After the shuffle, the pack was organized in the way he remembered every single position of every card. Teller had his own four pack of cards, one for every sign (heart, diamond etc.), And the gimmick of them is a 13 buttons on the other side that slowly pushes a card, and every pack has all 13 cards + fake cards, and all of them with the same sign.
    *The Penn part:*
    *Illusion:*
    In 2:27 Penn shuffled the cards, but didn't really, he took about 15 cards from the top, and mixed them back to the top, which had no effect on the magic since Jimmy cut the pack in the middle.
    *The cheat:*
    In 2:56 Penn had a peek at the face of his cards, and since he remembers the order of cards, he knew what card Jimmy's going to pick, and how many cards does he has in his hands.
    *The signal:* _(only if you're in a team)_
    In 3:02 Penn delivers Teller the information he has, he lifts the pack *9* times, and makes a weird shake in his hand that signaled the *hearts* (he had three other pre approved moves that hinted the other three signs), that's how Teller knew it is the *9* of *hearts.*
    *The Teller part:*
    *The show:*
    In 4:05 Teller reaches into his jacket and searched for the *heart* sign pack, he takes it out and opens it up.
    *The illusion:*
    In 4:17 Teller takes a flower as a distraction from the fact that in the other side, he spins a roller that pulls the *9,* he had 12 other rollers that would've spin the other 12 cards out.
    *The end:*
    Well unsurprisingly Teller was "right" and Jimmy's card was the *9* of *hearts,* they didn't force the card or faked anything.
    *The vote:*
    Just watch the video there's nothing to not understand with the votes.. JK lol hope it helped you understand the magic and how magic tricks usually work. Have fun i was the YOYOMAN. ;)

    The trick is revealed at 2:55
    Penn has memorized the order of the deck and the shuffle he does is false. He instructs Jimmy to cut 'a little more' than half way, this is to make it a bit harder to throw off the audience, and if he messed up the top few cards. Since he knows the exact order of the deck, he sneaks a peek at the bottom of the stack as he turns them over at the 2:55 mark. Since he knows the bottom card is the 9 of Spades for example, and the 9 of Spades is 26, then 9 of Hearts is 27. Teller also knows the order of the deck, and when he hears Penn say '27' he knows the next card would be the 9 of Hearts.

      There's a real cool thing you can do with cards. Once their in a set order even cutting them chanfes nothing. If its say ace two three six clubs hearts spades diamonds (chased as its called) if you cut it and the six is on top its still ace two there six it just starts with the six. So Penn knows the order, jimmy cuts the cards. Penn sees 1 card and then he knows the next. Regardless of if they were shuffled ahead of time or not.

The banter is genious: because it makes you think theres a lot going on: there are big props: the chair, some juggling wich makes you think that its misdirection. While everything already happened when Jimmy picked the card.

    The cards are in a special order and Penn looks at the bottom card at 2:55. Once you know the bottom card, you know all about the picked card card, Teller also knows the number so he's ready to raise the correct card. Once Penn says there are 27 cards, the rest is trivial.

      More likely that the back of the cards are marked. To mark a deck you just get a red marker & blot out one spot for each suit, another spot for each number or face & because this is going to be used for the trick they do another mark to number their cards. He then signals to teller the number & suit in code so it's not obvious, could be a hand gesture or some specific word/words he says.

      Penn pulls out the deck wich has 27 cards above the 9 of harts, than penn shuffles but about 15 cards than pulls back above the 9 of harts if u look closely, the card above the 9 of hearts has a bending so that jimmy easily take that cut without thinking, than the trick is done teller did nothing

      Here's how it works, the cards are stacked and with some maths, you can work out how many cards you're holding (check out scam school) Penn looks at the card when you changes hands and can work out what Jimmy's card is. I've seen this trick twice now and Penns patter changes meaning he's using code to tell the person hidden in the chair what Jimmy's card is and the person in the chair gets the card stock to the weighted pulldown. Notice teller isn't just standing like he normally does and that chair is very big and can easily hide someone. Also, teller isnt holding the cards the full time and theyre out of view for most of the trick.

  • @zapdunga12
    @zapdunga12 Před rokem +75

    The cards are set up in a certain order at 2:56 Penn sees the bottom card. He now knows what card follows so he knows what card Jimmy cut to. He also knows how far down. He codes the card to the person sitting in Tellers humongous chair who sets up the 9 of hearts to be the card to come up. That assistant is the one who hands the big deck to Teller through a hole in the chair. Well that's my guess. You even hear Penn use the word Heart at 3:42.
    It's not a deck where every other card is a 9 of hearts because he has Jimmy count the cards face up on the table and if every other card was a 9 of hearts Jimmy would notice that. But he wouldn't notice a set up order deck.

      When Jimmy takes the top card of the bottom cut and puts it in his pocket Penn swaps the top cut for 27 cards from a real deck without a 9 of hearts.
      So.. Jimmy counts 27...
      Teller only ever has to reveal a 9 of hearts.
      Meanwhile Penn swaps the bottom cut for the rest of the real deck.

    2:57 penn glimpses the bottom card. This shows the entire deck has been stacked in a pre arranged order so that Penn knows the card and position in the deck. By glimpsing the bottom card, Penn knows the next card is 9 Hearts AND the prearranged system associates each card with a number equal to its position. Then it’s a communication or code system to transfer the two digits of the position to their assistant who is hiding in the big chair and loads the card into the big box. Note this is the ONLY card in the large box… bc the box is simply a mechanical widget to raise the card. This shows the incredible detail, skill, memory work, practice, and sheer gall P&T have gone to to create this illusion. Damn good.

    Penn does NOT shuffle the cards. He just pretends to. They are ordered. After the cut he looks at the bottom card and immediately works out how many cards he has as indicated by the bottom card. He also knows what the next card is because the cards are all ordered. Teller doesn't know what it is and he NEVER knows what it is. After Penn announces that there will be 27 cards the assistant concealed under the chair then knows what card he must get ready for its grand appearance in Teller's hands. Penn asked Jimmy to cut to the middle or MORE because he needed to give the assistant time to arrange the big deck in readiness for the reveal. Jimmy's counting the cards to a number greater than 26 gives the assistant the time he needs. The large deck is, by this time ready to be extracted from the hole in the chair at his right side.

    And because it’s Penn and Teller, we have no clue to know which ones of these were actually false flags to make you lose if you were in the Hot Seat for Penn and Teller fool us.

    Penn's shuffle at the beginning is a fake shuffle that doesn't really alter the position of the cards (or if it did, it would be just the few at the top). Thus, the deck order has not been altered. Penn has committed to memory the order of the cards and thus, after Jimmy's cut and placing the deck on his hand, he flips it over really quick to see the bottom card. This allows him to know exactly how many cards are in his hand and what is the card that Jimmy has placed in his pocket. Teller also knows the order so after Penn tells everyone its 27 cards, Teller knows exactly to pull the 9 of hearts out.

    The brilliance of Penn and Teller's magic tricks is that you never care how they are done. They are more entertaining than they are magical.
    But if you want to know how it's done... I believe it is a stacked deck. Jimmy cuts the cards. Penn sneaks a peak at the bottom card of his packet, which was directly above jimmy's card. That tells him what Jimmy's card is. Then I believe he secretly tells Teller which card it is. Another comment suggested that when he says "Remember in your heart" it was to communicate the suit to teller. I think there may be something going on with the hand gestures Penn does around 3:51. He actually does do the ASL sign for 9 many times, which may just be a natural hand gesture but it's hard to say. Then Teller just uses a big gimmick deck to rise the card.
    In their masterclass, Penn actually said that when they come up with an idea for an effect, they pretend to perform it as if the magic is real and observe their own mannerisms to find out what they do naturally and what they can get away with. For instance, Penn naturally puts his hands in his pockets often and talks with his hands while Teller often keeps his arms down at his sides. So I can totally see Penn using his natural hand gestures to conceal a secret hand gesture.

    Penn “shuffled” the cards himself. It means he knows the order of the cards. He then insisted on Jimmy cutting the deck in the middle. Penn looks at the bottom card so he knows the number of cards in his hand, it also reveals the card to Teller. Pretty simple trick.

      I'm kind of disappointed that I wasn't able to figure that out myself. I knew the shuffle was a fake, but I somehow missed him looking at the bottom card.
      I'm sure this answer is easy too, but how does Teller make sure that the correct card is on the rising mechanism? I'm guessing it has to do with Penn saying the number and Teller priming it while Jimmy's counting.

      @@trickytreyperfected1482 Based on where he pulled it out from it was under the couch which can hide numerous decks and since Penn specifically said to get as close to the middle of the deck as possible it seems like he wanted to limit the possible choices. That deck of cards is so massive so I wouldn't be surprised if it were actually a printer or it could push out several different cards based on some type of user input.
