    They treated you as an adult, which is the highest compliment you can get. I hope you go back on the show as many times as it takes to fool them! I want to see that!

    That was the first time I think in fool us history that an act got a standing ovation from every single person in the audience , including penn and teller.

      You're dumb. The act didn't get a standing ovation from anyone. Penn turned around and did a violent arm gesture that manipulated everyone into standing up and cheering like idiots. That was the real magic. One guy in a suit controlling hundreds of homeless people.

    You just did one of the bravest things a magician can do: you explained the trick up front, and then used that to give the audience a false sense of confidence before playing the real trick. That used to be forbidden in the magic world, and that’s the tactic that got Penn and Teller originally branded as “the bad boys of magic”. And you did all that, performing for _them_
    Keep up the good work!

    I am glad they respected you enough to not pretend they were fooled as seasoned professional magicians.
    I was not "fooled", I am old enough to have seen most of this trick many, many times.
    However, your stage banter and the twist at the end were entertaining and unexpected.
    Hold your head high, you did yourself proud.

    Add to it the fact that she looks like a China doll, is totally charming and in control of herself (AND the audience), and indeed you do have the future of magic.
    Her tears at the end were the perfect prize, and better than the FU trophy could have ever been.
