Teller is there too. He used to be silent, now he's just invisible.
Made me genuinely chuckle, very nice!
@@evesword4270 thank you. Happy to have made you chuckle!
Pen made Teller disappear. Jk
He's the one filming
He took Chuck Norris's invisibility trick
"We were doing a seance at Steven Spielberg's bachelor party" is the wildest sentence I've ever heard
It's also hilarious because knowing Penn being a staunch atheist, what worst people to get to perform a seance.
Spielberg is gonna be so disappointed if he sees this.
I mean...you haven't?
Almost. In my head I heard, "We were doing a seance at Steven Segall's bachelor party". That would be wilder, but way worse.
The way he says it too, like "oh yeah typical Thursday"
“Magic isn’t real” that sounds like something a wizard would say.
@provis345 p that's wholesome
@provis345 p This is the one time I will disagree with Penn. Magic IS real, except to magicians. Even then, it still is real, but it's an art and not fairy-tale fantasy magic.
And per his advice, I'm starting to learn some tricks for my new nephew and niece. Can't wait until I can a few down and the kids are old enough to enjoy it: because that's the real "magic."
/suggest ScamSchool/ScamNation. Brian is really good at teaching for those interested.
@@d34dR0d3n7 Brian is great! Good recommendation, Friend.
Its subjective, nothing disproves its existence. It could be real, saying it isn't real leaves a dead end
@@d34dR0d3n7 better recognize the skills they have than to just say its magic, even more magical to know anyone can do it with practice
Hearing the rabbits enjoyed their job makes me extremely happy
I think it made all of us happy.
It did indeed
The most important thing that I learned in this video is that the rabbit is also a magician, and that he likes to perform the trick as much as we like seeing it.
I mean instead of a rabbit out of the Hat I would like to see maybe a turtle or a dog I think that could be interesting
Why else crine rn
I love how most of this video hes like "Its not real its a trick please dont eat sharp objects"
Yup.. cuz he for sure knows there are many stupid people in this world and is afraid that one might actually try do it.. lol
@@mattg1271 That's the best part - they chew rather obnoxiously which is PERFECT for building it up. Meanwhile, that's basically the "trick", right in front of everyone's eyes.
Or.. You know.. Candy glass
@@mattg1271 or instead you could do it how they actually do it and just use blown sugar which is what break away glass is actually made of much safer and tasty to looks just like
real glass if you do it right sounds like it when you smash it to
You know that if he explains even one part of it, some dude's gonna go out and buy razor blades tonight
"We were doing a seance at Steven Spielberg's bachelor party..." ...as one does...
if I had a nickel for every time I did a seance at Steven Spielbergs bachelor party, I'd have some nickels, let me tell you.
You dont? Wierdo
I wonder if Spielberg saw this and went "I KNEW HE SCREWED IT UP!"
I mean, we’ve all been there!
What's even creepier is here we have Penn saying magic doesn't exist, then he says he performed a magic trick that is impossible to explain at a seance for Stephen Spielberg. Think about that for a bit, a magic trick happened at a seance that the best magician is incapable of explaining, and he is the one that performed it. Interesting.
PB Initiate: "How do magicians make pipe bombs?"
Penn: "The same way normal people do. Next question!"
It’s so nice to see such a genuine guy who admits it’s all a trick.
No magic, no paranormal, just admits that it’s all a trick.
Intelligent man eloquently explaining.
He is a treasure.
Magic is real bub. Read "The Secret Teachings of All Ages" or watch "A Trip Into the Supernatural." Read a book called "Modern Magick." I said read these books, I don't recommend practicing what they teach.
@@alfredocarrillo5922 lol nah dude it's your bias to want it to be real that makes it seem real to you and others like yourself. "I want to believe" sums it up.
@@alfredocarrillo5922 Magician who does these tricks everyday admits that they are not real magic.
This guy: *no*
In GOB's words "it's an ILLUSION MOM!" 🤣🤣🤣
"They don't have to be good."
*sends a felt ball to the 3rd plane of oblivion*
"See its easy"
hahaha
"3rd plane of oblivion" got me good
Sometimes stupid tricks like those get me more excited than the elaborate things they have on their show
@@enlosmargenes I agree. I find close up sleight of hand much more fascinating than most elaborate tricks.
Right lol I still dont know how they do that
Dying Kid: “Penn, is magic real?”
Penn: “Lol naw kid you dumb.”
Lmao
Oh ma gahd
tips fedora
Kid: Dies
Penn: what are you stupid
Screams: hey everyone this kid that just died thinks magic is real. What a dumb kid
Thousandth like🙌🏼
Magicians don’t reveal their secrets, they sell them
If you good at something don't do it for free. Idk who quote dat.
@@explosivemind08 joker
I instantly remembered the movie The Prestige because of this 😅
"who the kcuf want to be an MC if you cant get paid to be gnikcuf MC" -ODB
I've noticed that Penn Jillette often talks about, and clearly thinks about, morality and ethics.
He's heavily influenced by Houdini. That was something he was super into, ethical tricks
Because he’s a libertarian. ✌️
“The trick doesn’t have to be good!”
*does trick flawlessly*
It actually fooled me lol
It's not a good trick because it's "too easy" or "very simple" as a magician tricks that are super simple feel like they are bad tricks. When it's a puzzle, when it's a challenge, and you pull it off... thats a good trick.
@@michaelmcgee5478 Just because it is simple doesn't mean it's not a good trick. It doesn't have to be extremely hard to impress people. I've gotten some of the best reactions with some of the easiest tricks
It means it doesn't have to be too complicated but should be executed properly.
Plus camera angles. See how the lens focus shifted? But he’s a real nice intelligent guy in real life.
9:06 "Your little nephew or niece will just love it"
me: "wtf how'd he do that"
@Amir Hamzah His finger is always painted Red...
@Amir Hamzah how would he do that with a red finger?
@Amir Hamzah did he absorb the ball with his finger?
@Amir Hamzah I'm talking about the red finger remark?
Hope Watch the trick frame by frame. What you thought was the ball in his hand before he made it disappear was actually his finger!
"you should not go to an entertainment expecting someone to get hurt"
MMA fans: 👁👄👁
Nascar fans :o
@@lenonel3286 Are there lots of injuries in NASCAR? I thought auto racing is pretty safe these days.
@@reaganharder1480 yeah but watching a car crash, flip and burn is much more exciting that watching a car go around in circles 30 times
@@lenonel3286 true. But even in crashes I personally have seen very few injuries in motorsport. It's kinda incredible actually.
@@lenonel3286 "watching a car go around in circles 30 times."
That's why i don't watch NASCAR. Lol
My favorite question was, “How do you know you’re out of invisible ink?”
Similar to "How do you know when your yoghurt has spoiled?"
@@clairechen7169I thought that as well. After rewatching that part a couple times though, finally realized he was referring to the 2nd Their (which was misspelled)
"There's no such thing as magic" sounds like something a magician would say
Is your profile pic bf1?
Aiden it is
@@Aiden-re7vy Lawrence of Arabia
Very good
Magician...or Vernon Dursley....
Man, I’m excited for the Teller episode, it’s just gonna be 10 minutes of silence 🤣
Teller is one of the finest mimes, to ever exist on this world. It is kind of funny, to recall the several times I was lucky enough to meet and talk to him... because the soft and gentle sound of his voice, is what sticks in my mind the most.
czcams.com/video/7xwAEdokypA/video.html
Would make a great video for April 1st.
It depends whether or not he does it in character...
Teller is not mute.
He can speak.
I went to their vegas show a couple of years ago and as always, they greeted guests after the show. Very cool. Penn was kind enough to let me tape a 30 sec get well video to my brother with leukemia. Very nice of him. Classy.
Penn: *Casually makes ball disappear*
My two brain cells: *💀💀💀*
But... those are three skulls.
Soggy Potato the third is for me
I'm no magician so I cant say for sure but, pay attention to his hand, he has a nail painted red so if you look quickly it looks like a part of the ball, pretty sure he drops the ball into his sleeve/onto the table then acts like he's holding it in his left hand
"We were doing a seance at Steven Spielberg's bachelor party..."
Now that's a way to start a story.
what is a seance? 😳
@@Alex632 It's that thing when some medium tries to make contact with a dead person.
The fact this has 666 likes makes this look so funny out of context
Humble brag...
I get the feeling Penn has dabbled in the dark arts and wasn't impressed.
Yeah, he should try the ultraviolet arts! :DDDDDDDDD
BadWebDiver He went straight to PLAID!
Because they don't exist...as he knows well.
@@blakes5827 Those of you who think you know everything...
Simply because you are certain that your understanding of "the dark arts" doesn't exist, doesn't mean they don't exist. You have much to learn.
@@jbc242424 LOL
Maybe the real magic is the friends we meet along the way
Lmao no
Yes
THAT IS SO GROSS AND CHEESY, I LOVE IT!!!😤
“We were doing a seance at Steven Spielberg’s bachelor party” sure.... that’s a normal sentence....
It sounded like something straight outta Gex
9:00 "Your magic tricks don't need to be good you can do this stupid trick:"
me: where the ball go??
9:05 he "passes" the ball to his left hand, but he actually didnt, its still in his right hand, then when the frame went abit closer to Penn's face you see him hit the table with his right hand, dropping the ball to his laps. The red you see is his finger, he painted his nail/finger red.
He makes us looks at his left by saying "if you look here"
I think thats how this goes, idk just guessing
Its an illusion, especially when he passed the ball left to right multiple times. Its all an *_iLlUsIoN_*
It slipped into the void
@@redlock1815 the red fingernail has nothing to do with magic tricks, it is painted red in remembrance of his dead mom.
@@kronnie13 but it is the red fingernail ahahaha look at it. Nicely done!
His nose inhaled it... obviously
How to eat glass: make a sugar candy that looks like shattered glass and crunch away to the horror of your viewers.
Or you can just eat the real thing if you feel super sad.
@@senza4591 but if you do that its not gonna be a magic trick anymore.
@@srsaito9262 the magic will be that your conciousness will dissapear.
@@senza4591 But you can only do that once
David Blaine legitimately eats glass. In one of his specials they show him going to the dentist, and you can see his teeth are completely ground down and the nerves are nearly showing. It’s pretty nuts
“You really shouldnt go to show expecting someone to get hurt”
Romans: “WHATS THE POINT THEN”
As Sigfried & Roy's audience were dramatically reminded...
Not really. Gladiators were like wwe today, they never actually injured one another lethally or killed the other. They would also promote people who payed as sponsors
Penn: i don't participate in the dark arts
Also Penn: so i was doing a seance at spielberg's bachelor party...
Well, tbf, he was asked about using the dark arts in the stage show to cover up mistakes...
I love Penn mostly because he dodges answers so gracefully.
I dunno I think Teller avoids answering questions even better than Penn BADUM TSSSS
It's not dodging it's lying (eating "glass")
@Colton Thompson what's the difference?
I mean both of these questions asked how to do tricks and he's not going to tell the internet either way
Penn is one of those few people who seems to exude confidence without pomposity or arrogance.
That's only for the past few years or decade. For many years, he had his head up his backside. But improving and becoming better people with time is all any of us can hope to do.
does he? he seems a still seems a bit.. uppity
may)(day he's allowed to be arrogant
Exactly. People don't seem to realize the difference between the real Penn Jillette and when he's playing it up on stage.
Well when he said there's no such thing as the supernatural, that was pretty arrogant because there's literally no way to prove that.
Why wasn't Teller here? I feel like he'd have a lot to say on this subject
A good way to open a conversation: "So there we were, performing a séance at Steven Spielberg's bachelor party..."
What's a seance?
@@vinnicinhus44 Like a ritual for contacting the dead

“Magic is not real” Penn is obviously not an electronic technician.
High voltage electrician here, I ear you dude hahahaha !!!
Yeah, no kidding.
"The black magic box that I'm not competent enough to understand"
Yesssss
I’m an electrical engineer who works with at the forefront of semiconductor technology in Silicon Valley. I’m with Penn on this one - everything I’ve witnessed still follows the laws of physics.
I noticed the painted nail before hand and still got caught on the trick
The painted nail is not related to a trick. He keeps that fingernail painted red in memory of his mother. He's had it that way for years
This guy is on my list of solid dudes your kid could write a report on as a role model.
couldn't agree more
He says such obvious things yet he seems so wise
Jamie Nelson lol
In an age of lies, Truth is king.
It also helps that he's an extremely smart person
Most wisdom is obvious. The difficulty is retaining and applying it to your own life.
That's intelligence, charisma, and wicked good articulation.
Much respect for a man who sticks to his values, even when it can make him unpopular. Magic is a skill, not divine intervention.
Funny thing is some of it is so skillful and so clever that it is more impressive than if magic was just real.
*Penn and Teller spawn into an RPG world, palms something into making it disappear*
Everyone: *Shocked Pikachu.jpg*
J Hitchcock Houdini spent a lot of time showing how mystics and fortune tellers would do their tricks so they couldn’t scam people. Houdini actually tried very hard to convince Arthur Conan Doyle that mystics couldn’t communicate with dead people to the point where they hated each other.
@@Moadar yeah that Kostya Kimlat guy who was on Fool Us, he literally practiced a precision shuffling technique so he can move the cards he wants to specific points in the deck and then grab it out of the air. No actual tricks, just pure skill
he even hinted at knowing how the cell phone trick is done, but declined to answer it because its not his to tell
I have no idea how Penn can keep doing magic after he removed his power inducing pony tail? That's the big mystery.
Much like how Teller can sometimes talk after giving up his voice for magical powers...
I like how level headed and direct he is about magic and the burden of honesty or showmanship that can can clash with each other. That being said its, I'm sure, much easier to view the "world" of magic through the lens he does and treat it the way he does, when you've achieved success in that field of entertainment at the level that he has. Love his and Teller's shows 🤟
"3 of spades"
Me: TELL ME WHERE THE REAL PENN IS NOW!!!!!
He's currently locked in some government chamber. The Penn that was in this video is, clearly, an Android, or Robot
@@ZacharyMellinger The dichotomy isn't between Android and Robot. It's Android or iPhone.
First 3 that showed up... not 3♧
@@gatherer818 Android is an operating system, so the other one wouldn't be "iPhone", but "iOS". That said, it's not a dichotomy; there's more than two mobile operating systems.
And the original comment wasn't even referring to Android, the operating system, in the first place. It was just calling Penn a robot.
Your comment was uncalled for and just plain wrong. How surprising.
@@OrdinaryLatvian Did you miss the joke? Zach said that Penn was clearly "an Android, or Robot", on a "tech support" video.
Not just one of my favorite magicians, one of my favorite celebs of all time. A truly kind and thoughtful person who takes the time to further the collective knowledge of his craft.
Agreed. I have the most respect for that guy.
Have u met Penn? Wish i did!
If Penn wasn't a staunch libertarian he wouldn't have been so big. But he IS a staunch libertarian so he and teller's "I'm going to fool you, but I'm telling you it's a ruse" schtick comes off authentic, cuz it is. It's like George Carlin said "when Clinton said I'm gonna lie to you, the public said "at least he's honest""
I LOVE how they incorporate trick reveals into the act! Makes you as a viewer feel like you're a part of it, because the way they do it...so hard to describe...best way to explain it is to suggest everyone watch their "lighting a cigarette" routine...literally the ENTIRE routine is about the trick reveal...ib fact, you don't even realize it's a magic trick UNTIL Penn & Teller start the reveal...when you can make a trick ALL ABOUT revealing the trick and that in itself becomes awesome...
YOU...HAVE...ARRIVED
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Love how he went into such depth with each answer.
I can’t get enough of Penn and Teller, I don’t practice magic but watching them do it is amazing.
I’m actually so impressed by the “stupid uncle magic trick” he showed, how’d he do that?!
Well the camera angles changes, I'm guessing he drops the ball because they dont show that and he even looks down at it
@@EpicBunty Nope, that's not how it's done. He could've done it standing up with nothing in front of him in real life right in front of you.
@@crimson90 then why dont u share how he did it? he could have done it upside down for all we know, but he didn't. the camera angle obscured the obvious lapping. simple trick which u are just overthinking.
@@EpicBunty so you've never seen a person do a magic trick before? I'm genuinely surprised. I thought everyone had seen all of these tricks a million times, and I'm not saying that in a mean-spirited way. But you'd be hard-pressed to see a magic show and not see someone do essentially the vanishing ball trick. Penn and Teller taught this trick to an entire studio audience for, I think it was their PBS special in the 80s, and had them all doing it as the credits rolled
@@mikeischangingplaces That trick only works in controlled environments
As a teacher of boys ages 9-14 THANK YOU for your continued emphasis on safety.
If they think it’s even 2% possible they will encourage each other to the point of stupidity
That's what boys do. It's amazing any of us males actually live long enough to see adulthood. LOL.
I'm 33, I might still do it with a 2% chance.
Id be lucky if the boys made me do something with a 2% chance
Eh, even adults can get like this

Lol!
I like the red fingernail, you just keep looking at it. Just as intended.
why is it red though?
@@Hussein_Nur it's a natural alarming color. By evolution you have to look at it. Think about the color of street or warning signs, yellow or red.
@@hpenvy1106 hhahaha, thats not what I meant. Why does he color it?
Here's what Penn said about it, " People are asking about my fingernail. Wear my Dad's ring and my Mom's nail polish. Just for remembrance and respect."
@@starpointstudios Thanks.
Following you and Teller for years. Glad to see you still active sharing information to the masses. :)
The real magic is the reactions and responses to the tricks. That's what it's all about.
I get the feeling that if Penn wasn’t a magician, he’d be a guitarist
Me too
he plays bass
He's a bassist actually.
He was a punk rock fan back then too
he plays bass in bands, and can play the guitar.
I love how he avoids answering questions. He does it in a creative and respectful manner.
With the danger one I really wanted him to say "I'm on my 14th Teller"
So honest and satisfyingly transparent for a magician.
Me: *looking away for a second*
Penn: "DANIEL"
Me: ?!?!?!?!
Daniel Kniffin I had the same response!
Same
lol
I did the same thing, which is odd as my name is Tom and not Daniel...
I know right?!!
“Magicians love magic MORE than non-magicians” he nailed that answer lol
3:36 Carl Sagan had the answer. "“For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.”
Kid: "I'm about to die. Is magic real?"
Teller: " "
Saw you and Teller in Baltimore many years ago. I took my late father (well, he wasn't late at the time) and both he and I were absolutely floored. It was one of the rare times that we both enjoyed the same thing at the same time in each other's company. Thank you (and thank Teller) for one of the best memories I still carry to this day.
10:12 that tweet was sent nearly a decade ago.
And?
2010 was max 3 years ago bro at most
Hold it, what do you mean this isn't 2010?
[Looks at calendar]
Oh...
*_Oooh..._*
Get some glasses it says 2019
ro59559 maybe replace your glasses because it says 2010
"I never, ever want to leave someone believing magic is real..." Harry Houdini, The Amazing Randy, Penn and Teller.... A noble legacy indeed!
I love it when he says “that would be morally wrong”
As a Magician myself.... I can say that this was incredible to watch! Penn = Goat!
**If you listen closely, you can hear Teller speak in the background**
Yes, but you see Teller doesn't speak.
Ethan : but he can
@@AbhishekTiwari-xt1kt So I hear, the curse is that Penn can only speak when performing and Teller can only speak offstage; in a rare moment like this when Penn is on-stage and Teller is not, they can finally communicate.
@@clockworkkirlia7475 Yeah ik
@PRESIDENT ANDREW YANG I've heard Penn say that Teller is a far superior magician.
Penn Jillette: "Eating glass is dangerous, I'm not going to explain how in case someone tries it."
Brian Brushwood: "Hold my beer. Well, first buy me a beer for the explanation, _then_ hold my beer."
Also, hold my torches, because after this I’ll teach you how to eat fire.
Good to see some modern rogues
"Hold my beer. Cause i need the bottle."
Yeah, if they are actually eating the glass, first they have to grind down the sharp edges with their teeth and swallow the pieces (unless they only chew a few small pieces and leave them in their gums). Then after the show, they vomit it all back up. Now imaging practicing that trick over and over.
I've never cared if I knew how the trick worked. I love watching magic and trying to figure out the trick. Knowing what the trick is doesn't make it any less impressive to me.
Seeing close up magic (sleight of hand) in person is amazing. You know it is a trick but can't see it.
If anything sometimes knowing how it works makes it ever more impressive. Not knowing the trick has mystique, but knowing the trick has awe. They're different types of impression but they're both valid.
"And for our next trick I'm gonna tell this kid with Leukemia that Santa Claus doesn't exist!"
And his next ask is that with your magic you make his Leukemia disappear, instead of a card.
I think Penn/Teller is one of the first to openly call what they do magic "tricks" which is very honest, but still retain the mystery of "how they do it" quality to it.
They're not the first. Traditionally, magicians in 19th century Europe would sign confessions to the local constabulary stating that what they did was trickery and that they were defrauding people. This was intended to avoid the potentially more devastating legal (and at times, physical) consequences of being found guilty of witchcraft, thanks to many European localities not bothering to update their laws for centuries. Also, in some places people did believe in magic in the torches and pitchforks kind of way.
It’s an illusion, Michael!
Not really. Houdini wrote like six books dissecting tricks much earlier. I recommend his books, they are free in Project Gutenberg. I especially like the one on fire walkers/eaters and poison drinkers.
I am completely confused when I see him without long hair. It’s like looking at an entirely different person.
SolidSonicTH same, I cant get used to him with short hair!
Only his voice and glasses are familiar
@@KittyPieVibes He...sort of has the beard.
SolidSonicTH and he’s lost a lot of weight
I just pretend there's a ponytail back there
Penn is one of my favorite people in general. Great show, keep posting. I really liked "ask a mortician" too!
If I had a nickel for every time I did a seance at Steven Spielberg’s bachelor party I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s strange it happened twice right?
Not really. I would have 2 dollars.
Thanks, Doof.
That Phineas and Ferb humor is coming in strong, lol
Love the Phineas and Ferb reference
And yes so true 😂
I could listen to this man talk about magic for days.
I once came across a person who INSISTED that magic does in fact exist and famous magicians are doing actual magic. Funnily enough there was someone else there who was a magician skilled enough to be in the magic castle who tried to convince him otherwise but he wasn't having any of it
That actually happened with Houdini and Conan Doyle(the author of Sherlock) as well. Doyle was very into spiritual things and was convinced his then friend Houdini was am actual magician. Houdini on the other hand was very open about the fact he was just doing tricks and actually spent a lot of time disproving claims of magic and supernatural. It became a big issue between them and drove them apart as one was convinced the other was hiding his supernatural secrets and the other couldn't understand how anyone could be so dense as not to get that magic doesn't exist.
Fool Us is one of my favorite shows. The comedy, humility, and innovation are incredible!
"Baby chicks do come out of eggs. That's not magic, that's nature."
😂😂😂
I believe "I did not develop or invent this trick. I believe its still for sale." Is a subtle way of saying a trick bottle that can be purchased. My how i love this man.
Penn is the absolute master of subtlety, period
Well, sortve but not really, all tricks, even those which don't involve gimmicks are "sold". Him saying that was more him saying "I'm not going to take food out of the person who is selling this trick's mouth." It's kinda magicians code to not reveal tricks you havent developed and are still for sale.
@@samueljackson3512 i think it was more the fact that you can 'buy' the props
@@plantpotshoes2644 well thats what you would think since you arent a magician. But like stated before all tricks are sold whether they contain a gimmick or not. Its intellectual property for who created the trick. He wasn't being subtle in giving it away.
@plantpot shoes I'm like 306% sure that what he means by it's still being sold is that you could learn how to do the trick by paying the original magician money to take a class, such as how they have classes to teach magic. That, plus the original inventor could sell the rights to do the trick to another magician and stop doing the trick for the right price, etc.
That red nail to add to the ball vanish was BEAUTIFUL
Penn: We dont resort to Sorcery and Shadow Magic
2min later
"We did a Séance at Steven Spielbergs house...."
😒
WHOA! So jarring to see Penn wearing something other than a black suit with stripes!
No black hair either
Ya Jorge and not using the 3 of clubs as an example card. =D
JayS Or ponytail!!
He still has the painted nail though.
shoutout to u for having a Lum profile pic
Penn is really pulling off that Teddy Roosevelt look well here.
What have you done
I want to know if they were ever forced to put someone in their vegas show that they didn't want to just because they really did fool them.
The sincerity and honesty makes this video better
Not gonna lie, I'm not used to seeing Penn without the ponytail.
Thanks for not lying, appreciate the honesty
And he’s pretty handsome without =)
He hasn't had it for a few years since he lost weight
Hes getting old and his hair looks kind of fragile
I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG
Love that he wouldn’t explain how to eat glass he is very considerate of how many stupid people there are in the world 🤣
@Kevin w I don't think eating a thing that was once a rock (mineral) is a good thing.
@Kevin w Oh ok.
@Kevin w Good for you and for the humanity. 🤣
@@ToonMageChannel salt enters the chat
@@deathnote939393 Forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me.
This guy is just awesome.
That question about telling a sick kid if magic is real or not, I had to answer my children when it came to Santa. I was very careful about this because I remember how shattered I felt when I was told that it wasn't a real person. I told my sons that Santa is a spirit that moves and lives inside people to create the magic and wonder of the season. Because of this, they never had to have a hard shift and it seems to have made it easier for them to get into that spirit themselves.
That's similar to how my mother explained it when kids asked her (she was an elementary school teacher for many years). Even as an adult, I think it's beautiful explanation.
You lied to your kids. What else have you lied to them about?
But why would one start to say that Santa exists? Why is it necessary to start the believe in him? I don't care about the idea of lying to a child but it could be dangerous to raise them on the idea that the world inherently rewards kindness and good behaviour.
It’s not morally or psychologically right to act like Santa is real. Scientists recommend that Santa is like a fun game where they imagine it but they don’t actually think he’s real
I know we're talking about literal magic. But as a full grown man I really do believe in the magic of Christmas. The giving, the joy, the warmth. It's something I think should be spread and kept alive as long as possible.
9:25 oof that little stab at the president
9:08
pen: yeah the kids will like this
me: where the frick did the ball go
yea me too...
Slight of hand, probably went in his sleeve. It never leaves the first hand, the hand off is faked, tucked squished into first hand, while you are watching the second hand receive it looking for it, the other discards or hides, then the reveal of the hand with no ball, and the other also free of ball. Lap or table fall could leave evidence afterwards, concealing is the trick.
I think it was a foam ball he could just squish with his finger into his hand
I'm an uncle, but also a dad.
I did an awful magic card trick and my kid was amazed! I hope I can perform that trick on my nephews soon!
8:10 Ah yes, the three genders: girlfriend, boyfriend, and any sort of friend you want.

I wish they could use magic to do the vanishing trick
He said PRECEDENT guys chill
@@samuelralte7 your a slow one.
@@prizm2807 you're*
Such a genuine and classy guy who’s incorporated it into his act with Teller. You both are awesome!
Something about the way Penn answers the uncle's question of whether or not he should learn some magic - "Yes, you should!" Almost as if Penn's encouraging him. I like that.
What do you mean "almost"? He was _explicitly_ encouraging him to learn some magic.
Yeah.. "Yes, you should!" is explicit encouragement.
@@RabblesTheBinx Jedi is a bit of a thick head
Penn & Teller - thank you for being so accessible and seeking to make people smarter rather than more ignorant.
Was expecting him to answer "a magician never tells" to every single question
Then you don't have much experience with Penn and Teller
I love his raspy voice

Penn:* explains rabbit in hat trick*
Also Penn:* neglects to used the toy rabbit hiding behind the laptop as a prop.
Thank you for the demand for honesty no matter the circumstance.
"we were doing a seance at Steven Spielberg's bachelor party" is not a sentence I ever expected
I could literally watch this all day. Love listening to Penn talk about magic. Been doing magic for 30 years and he's a mentor and legend!!!!
