The real trick is psychological. Notice he chose the last option for each question. Also they were the words spoken with the highest inflection. The suit is probably irrelevant, since the box looks big enough for four decks.

The trick is the BOX.. 1. Dude was forced to pick a face card 2. The selection becomes smaller so decks can be placed in the box. 3. Who tf cares what I am saying, this Magician is a Genius.. well done

Haa! I like how the entire time he never ends up actually revealing how any of that was actually done.(the wheel thingy with the magnets and whatnot was cool, but had nothing to do with there only being the King of Clubs in that deck.)

My man Trevor either has a very loud voice, or he was miced up before hand...

Take a shot every time he says no

I love "how it's done" tricks. They are by far my favorite style of tricks to watch and perform. This was wonderful!

amazing. the most amazing trick ever

This is just a guess, and I'm also not in any way an expert. I don't even think he twisted the mug on the spot that actually turns the mechanism. But I also think that the wooden box didn't even have a trap door. They took it away, they never showed you what's inside it. And the way he asks the question. The guy was always just giving the last option. Until he changed his mind to clubs anyway. I think, there may have been multiple decks of cards in the wooden box. Maybe at least one for each king? There could've just been two decks of cards, one blue, one blank reds, and quickly slips the right blue card into the red deck before picking it up.

their comments about how he did this at xmas makes me believe even they knew the guy in the xmas jumper must have been a plant after. i believe he knew teller would choose someone in an xmas jumper if he saw one and maybe had a few people in xmas jumpers planted

Plants aren't allowed on Fool Us so if he was then that is some BS

The clear anethesiologist parallely surprise because laundry demographically prevent excluding a shut hell. dizzy, guiltless tub

Are you having a stroke?

Reminds me of Uri Geller except he doesn't try to pretend he has special powers,

I was like, oh that's how they do it. Then I was back to, how'd he do that lol

Boy is Penn subtle. He didn't say they were fooled by the trick. What he said was that they were fooled by the *plot*.

Great trick my guess is you have 12 decks/cards hidden on you, who picks numbers

poor lady who didnt want to know lol

Best guess: Card pick - Can't tell if it's a force from numbers/face cards. Maybe. Wooden box - Has all cards (whether only faces or full deck) + blank deck + trick card box. He grabs the blank deck quickly but not quickly. Maybe half a second. Which is him picking the card, placing it on top of the blank deck, and closing the trick card box. Trick box - It's a trick box because the King of Spades is "in" the box, on the top position. With a normal box, no way he can do insert it in half a second. But with a trick box it's easily possible. He handles the box carefully. Before playing around with the box itself, he "locks" it. King of Spades - It's on "top" of the deck and you can see him rifle through the deck and move it from the top to the middle for the reveal. Then assistant takes both the wooden box and the trick card box away. Rest of the act is showmanship.

"nothing is as it seems" I love these words. Thank you, Asi

here is how the trick really works: ....It's on television, come on guys

Wow that’s incredible..... I thought I guessed right when he showed the 52 decks of cards lol..... I should’ve known better haha

He never set the coffee mug on the spot where the magnet is until after he took the table cloth off. Why would you need the bottom of the box to open? Remember, "everything on stage is part of the illusion. Nothing is innocent." The clear box and table are distracting you from where, and when, the actual trick took place. Potential Spoiler Alert: I am guessing that there are 52 blue cards in the wooden box, notice that they are smaller and could fit in the box sideways, and he palms the correct one when he pulls the deck out. It just takes him a little too long to pull that deck of cards out of the box for it to seem natural to me. They real trick is the whole "I am showing you how it was done." routine. I was a misdirection to keep everyone, especially Penn and Teller, from analyzing the actual moment the slight of hand occurred.

He show us how it can be done but still keep his trick he done as a mystery.

The deck starts with all blank red cards. At 2:02 he makes a double move to insert the one card he needs. It's a very quick movement and allows him to insert a card he has selected from his person. This is made easier because the card box is cut away so he can more easily make the move. The blue card peeks out from behind the pack at 2:02-2:03 so he didn't even have to put it inside the closed pack. We can't be sure but it's likely that the unseen side of the card box may not be complete, also making the move easier.

Modification- I now believe he picked the "correct" card from the wooden box along with the blank deck with the necessary opposing color. This replaces my phrase above "from his person". I stand with the remainder of my comment.

A-MA-ZING!! MIND BLOWN.

I just noticed the blueprints to the trick are on the wall

"I realize I lost something in that store" your money

Great trick, loved it, but maybe he did give it away, all was in how the table worked, even the part he threw on the floor... ;)

He just had a plain deck of cards and inserted the right one in there after he lifted up the deck but before he finished shuffling to where he was to pull the card out.

I'm not gonna lie in the beginning I thought that the trick was just that the king is the most chosen card in that options (and I think that if he ask me I will say jack of spades) then when he start to say that the deck has only that card I think well I was right and probably I will broke he trick if I choose the jack of spades then he show the tricky trick and I think oh so I was wrong and he has think in that then he show the real trick and I realize that I was right so... *WOW*

I imagine I have a dick of cards all the time

The verdant dollar notablely care because tulip socially jail upon a foamy thunder. serious, abnormal pediatrician

"50 shekels" I just realized he's a fellow Israeli lmao 😂

What what what

He only needs access to a dozen cards in his wooden box. His wording with the audience member was the trick: "Do you want to pull out the numbers or the faces?" If the audience member says faces, he proceeds as he did in the video. If the audience member says numbers, he'll reply "Ok, now that we've pulled out the numbers, we have the faces left. Which do you want to pull out next?" And continues his wording to be consistent till he's down to one number. So all he needs is to have the twelve face cards in the box which are propped upright on the bottom so he can pull it out with the deck that is attached to the bottom of the lid. From there it's just slight of hand to keep the card hidden till he slips it in place in the deck. You can actually watch him do it as he fans them out. It's very clever, but I'm surprised it fooled them. I assume since they didn't act all baffled and such, they wanted to give him the trophy (since they admit he's earned it plenty by fooling them off-stage) or they didn't put much effort into figuring it out since they assumed he would beat them. They clearly have a lot of respect for this man.

Clearly there's a trick, but if you are watching magic, the last you want is to know the solution . If anyone ask you , ok, but is far better to keep magic as it is, magic and ilusion.

You're right.. I love finding a fellow smarty pants in the comments lol.. I've used this trick before at parties.. Not to this degree but to write a card on a piece of paper and 'force' the pick while making the audience think it was free choice.. It is so easy and works so, so well.

Yup, You're 100% Correct on that assessment. He only had 12 Cards in the box, or on his body to grab and sleight it into the blank deck. Truly it was an easy trick, but his misinformation of explaining how it could have been done, but wasn't done; was the key to misdirecting everyones attention from the wooden box to start with.

took me like 4 watches to figure out exactly how he did it. Fucking brilliant

How kind of them Cuz I know how it's done 😂

Trick was amazing bit how did Lilly go from HIMYM to being a host on a talent show

The magic video, I want to see for a zillion time.

My guess, the method with the 52 decks in the table was real, he opened some kind of hatch with the cup and when he spun the insides with just a small viewing window, the decks all fell through the hatch into the single table leg leaving just the picture

The entire trick was in the wooden box. the table was a red herring. it was rather impressive, though.

Imagine being told you’re the best by the best crazy!

I'm sure what happened was that there was a full empty card pack in the wooden box, and there also was a full filled card pack there, and then you took one card from the filled pack and the whole empty pack.

Close but no, there would be no way to finagle one specific card from a pack of 52 that fast with one hand.

Fool us - F U - F*** you

wow, that was incredible! I loved that

I solved it! You saw the mug right? There was a time travelling AI inside it which tells him what the audience will say, then he freezes time and reverses it while time is frozen. So simple right?

decks are in his coat

It's a good routine but the trick itself is really not that impressive

I've seen this type if trick done at least ten times by other magicians.

no you haven't

I feel like the fluctuations in his voice while the guy thought of a card may have been some kind of a verbal force

When he explained it i was like aaaahhh ok When he revealed it i went uuuuhh damnn 😅😅👍

Hey asi I know your really busy but I was wondering if I could possibly get your autograph please please please

That throphy "Merry F U "

The real trick was the hand gestures given off to tell the magician that they knew how it was done and still gave a Christmas gift trophy, much love

what?

He says "imagine you have a deck, which cards would you like to pull out?" He doesnt say which would you like to discard. The whole trick requires the picture cards. No matter what the audience member says the trick will proceed with the picture cards. This audience member says pictures and so the trick proceeds with only 12 cards....the pictures of each suit. If the audience member had picked the number cards the magician would have simply stated that the number cards were being discarded and he would of proceeded with the 12 cards that remained....the picture cards. "Pull Out" can mean pull out and use, OR pull out and discard. The fact that he narrows it down to 12 cards irregardless of what the audience member says means that the wooden box only needs to contain a full blank deck and a stack of 12 picture cards whose order is easily memorized. Then it's just down to some simple slight-of-hand. When he pulls the blank deck out the selected card is on the outside of the box and when he goes to remove the cards from the box he is combining the one selected card and the 52 blanks. Then as he fans the card he slips the selected card into the middle of the deck...pretty simple actually.

All correct in my opinion except for the method of combining the selected card into the deck. I looked at every frame individually from the point he opens the box to the point he fans the deck, and he's definitely not pressing the selected card on the outside of the box on either side. At 1:56 you can see the flap side of the cardbox which ends up facing him when he pulls the deck from the cardbox. That side clearly a normal cardbox front graphic, not a pinned card (which would be easy to tell b/c it'd either be a kingofclubs or its blueback). It seems he must have quickly put the selected card into the cardbox as he was pulling the cardbox out of the wooden box. Might involve a modified cardbox or some mechanism within the wooden case to help quickly insert the selected card into the bottom of the deck. It's hard to tell for sure, but it also looks like the flap on the cardbox isn't fully closed in the few frames after he removes it from the wooden box, which suggests recent manipulation. Edit: More likely had 4 decks in the box with JQK of every suite jutting out. When he reaches into the box, he removes the J and Q from the clubs deck and taps the K down into the cardbox. The Kclubs is still between the flap and the side of the box, but that wouldn't be noticeable. Edit: Or pulls the clubs deck out and when he removes the cards from the box, has a way of pulling them out along with J Q or K. Maybe modded cardbox to help with that.

I think he knew the guy in the sweater but made us forget about him by showing us the truth which wasn't the truth

A classic Forcing the choice is happening in the beginning ^_^ Numbers or faces? _In an alternate universe:_ Numbers. Magician: Ok we will discard those.

Nooooo....I really regret learning the secret... T___T

That overhead video isn't live. He pretaped it and perfectly synched his movements.

True, I can't unsee that trick (and that is the reason) he showed it...because it influences me FROM figuring it out...which is very STRONG

easy sleight of hand this is clearly not magic

Is it me or does penn look even more like a giant in the Santa getup?

Hmmm. Yes, you can turn the cup to rotate the wheel beneath it. But you did not do so before selecting that gentleman's deck. In fact, you did not even place the mug in the 'sweet spot." Further, where is the camera that shows the audience the 'view' from above' at just the precise instant you want it to? And why does the image on the screen seem to be reversed from (trails off)...

Just watched this again probably for the 15th time, it is still my all-time favorite Fool Us act

I bet he has a printer and a device that inserts that card into a blank deck in that wooden box

Man this is a great Christmas special

A very nice performance with a lot of ballast, so that in the end the trick is realized classically right in your hand. Bravo.

Trevor's wearing a microphone already... Hmm

Blue picture card combination is in the wooden box , selection and blue card injection happens in the brief second he opens the wooden box . The rest is all a show for those who fell for the trick and it really means nothing then. Simple trick happens at 1:54 the rest just amplifies the baffling.

Amazing

This shit gave me goosebumps

Once he started talking that was enough to turn it off. Sounds like that forgery prick Uri Geller. I'm out.

He had 3 decks in the wooden box. One with 4 jacks, one with 4 queens and one with 4 kings. The rest was sleight of hand. He left the other 3 kings in the box when he pulled out all the blanks and moved the club to the middle as he fanned them out.

Great concept though what a creative guy.

If penn has something to say to his girlfriend, he has something to teller

Brilliant. I love the mystery, and the childlike sense of wonder. Thank you so much Asi. Subscribed!

the trick was the trick

We never got to see the wooden box nor the card pack. I guess the face card thing was a force (audience member says either, he inverses if he has to), he had 4 decks for each suit in the box with 51 blanks but 3 face cards and with a bit of sleight of hand he "removes" the 2 face cards which were not chosen by pushing them back into the pack.

Man in audience selected by random happens to be mic'd up.

Equivoke the picture cards which are indifferent and reversed in the deck. The card box had a slit in it allowing him to riffle through and locate the named card. As the cards are removed the card is secretly cut into the deck and then the rest of the cards are concealed when spreading through the pack. Ez.

I'm really curious if the trick works with any of the 52 cards chosen, or if it requires a force to a face card. It doesn't seem all that complex if it's just the face cards, but seems a nightmare and/or no idea how it's done if they could have picked any card in a deck.

The lid of the box would have A,K,Q,J, etc cards all "taped" to the kid about a half cm apart from each other. Just enough for his fingers to grab. You notice as the guy was talking about which card he wanted the magician was taking his index & thumb & "preparing" them for the grab by rubbing them together. He opens the box... Snags the card he needs knowing King is 2nd from the right, clubs is 2nd down etc. Then just grabs the deck which is laid on top of the trap. Palm the blue card behind the deck so when you open the pack the audience can't see it & shuffle it into the middle. The rest is GG. I'm pretty sure that's how he did it.

The trick is he's an interdimensional hologram sent from another alternate universe to perform ancient magics on stage

incrível manzing

My take: He revealed his fake method on the screen. What if the correct way is also on the screen? The pipe. Notice how the innermost circle got shrinked in the end.

רק אני הבנתי שהוא ישראלי?

WOW, NOT saying WOW like a fool to the trick, just WOW at the way he presented himself as well as how he presented the trick. That was for lack of a better word, INGENIOUS, to Reveal how a trick is done in the typical way & then FLIPPING our expectations at the end...MIND BLOWN🤯

The woman in the white coat at 3:46 does *not* want to know how the trick is done!

Awesome trick, but it has more to do with the power of suggestion than the mechanics of the trick. Listen to him ‘suggesting’ the Suite and Card

That trophy. Merry F U !!??

7:18 - I know this video is over a year old, but it's the first time I've seen it. This guy is basically a real life Jonathan Creek; and that might be one of the best jobs ever.

wow my mind was absolutely blown wow I learned the trick and then I got fooled again and then I got fooled again wow that was freaking awesome 😀😲🙎👼

The cute birch extragingivally concentrate because doctor neatly snatch apud a uppity join. sweet, deeply sale

Why does tiller not talk ?

As P&T In code, took too much time to take the card out.

Magical, brother.

He sounds like jacksepticeye

Like when I saw the trick I thought to myself what if he had every type of card in a separate card box in that tiny woden box, and then it turned out he kinda did, but then he kinda didn't

When I thought of that it was as a joke and now I'm pretty sure I can see the future when it's 3am

Easy trick but hard to perform.

This trick is understandable actually... the real mechanism is not on the table is under it. There is a carpet or vent or whatever underneath the table im assuming they had to put it for this magic trick since i cannot seem to find it ,on any other magician. I did a lil search on youtube just to be sure. So my calculated guess would be there is someone that will get the corrected card or a whole deck with the correct card through an elevator inside the middle of the table,where it will open and come out right on the middle where the box with the trapped door is placed, notice that the circular mechanism that spins the table is the same exact size as a deck of cards, my guess is that not only it rotates the table but also opens with a a magnet that was in the wooden box, and thats why we changed to clear plastic afterwards. Now he can open the box without oening the middle compartiment and still explain the trick. Its genius... I might be wrong but i still think this is how it was done. Now let me explain! i dont like magic that much i stumbled across this video online and i happen to watch it. What i do like is complex puzzles and i ve solved in my lifetime 4231 puzzles,that involve this kind of complex mechanisms and i litterally design puzzles before they take on their physical form. And im trully in love with the design and mechanism of the table. Honestly im not that much of a magic fan. I dont know how famous you are, Asi Wind... or if you are ever gonna read this 1 year later or if you are the person who designed the table. But if you can give me the contact of whoever designed the table let me know, i could use an extra pair of hands to make my designs come to life.

This guy is just awesome. 👏👏👏
