      One thing I'm curious about is whether Allison knew or not. I'm assuming she did, in which case, doesn't seem like it quite meets the conditions of fooling the people he's performing to. Obviously the show is about fooling Penn and Teller, but it seems like a tough magic trick to keep secret, if I'm right.

      The magicians are not allowed to use people who work on the show as actors or stooges. I believe the effect was done in such a way that Alison saw the words in English but we saw the words in Mandarin. It's a variation of an age old trick.

    After a couple of subtle prompts Allison understands and reads the reflection from the floor.

      From what I've noticed, the trick is much simpler than that. If you look at the black table, you'll notice that the side facing Alison is significantly more polished/shiny.

    1. It's not done using reflection. Check his other video on the channel where he does the same trick on their vegas show. He holds the card way too far in front for any reflection to be visible.
    2. It's not done using some digital ring either. He confirms that in that same video, but more importantly, he's not wearing it on that vegas show either.
    My theory, then, and I think I'm pretty spot-on, is that as he's putting the previous card on the table, he actually puts the answer to the next card next to it as well. Then, it would just be a matter of having that card say "NEXT ANSWER IS: CHICKEN" and Alyson just playing along, which she does really well. Thus, it's a good old "sleigh of hand" trick with a really clever twist!
    That was an amazing trick and I can't remember the last time I was so clueless about how it's done. It's truly unique and I think you 100% deserved fooling them. Great job, and subscribed!

      Extore - fair enough. I didn’t want to go into a big discussion of grammar and foreign speakers of mandarin but I’m sure you’ll agree that primary anglophones who are learning mandarin often struggle with the concept of using verbs to affirm instead of a general-use “yes”. They will often use 是 and 不是 for “yes” and “no” in almost any situation until they get better at it. All I’m saying is that for a small moment he thought she might speak a bit.

    Wow! Unbelievable delivery! I’ve watched DOZENS of magicians, not just on Penn and Teller’s show, but also with their own online platforms in the past several weeks alone. There are MANY talented performers out there with a variety of style and talents, and they’re almost always very impressive and mind-boggling to watch. I’m particularly impressed by these two men and the two David’s: Blaine and Copperfield (I saw the latter live in Las Vegas, front row seats courtesy of the Bellagio VIP concierge, from about 30-50 feet away at all times!). However, I was also completely blown away by your talent and showmanship! Absolutely BRILLIANT work! It’s not just about the incredible skill involved, but perhaps more importantly in your case is the care that goes into your unique presentation to the audience. This is the main aspect that I believe made Teller get so choked up over your work. As you know, Teller is immensely talented and experienced himself and is considered by many, myself included, to be easily one of the top skilled magicians alive today in terms of both technique and presentation. You both have an incredibly unique style and an incredible amount of nuanced ability that sets you apart from ALL of the rest out there. I think the emotion invoked in Teller’s face is VERY clear proof that you have something that just leaves your audience utterly speechless and in awe of what they have just seen! I have NEVER once seen Teller so moved before! Absolutely astounding and breathtaking work! And you’re so incredibly young to already have such a rare and distinct ability, enough to truly set you apart in Teller’s mind and mine as well! Clearly, a one in a million kind of act from such a truly gifted and brilliant mind! This was an absolute masterpiece! (Technically, I haven’t watched THIS particular video as of yet, I have only watched the one with the Polaroid-style card trick that you did to try to fool the amazing Vegas duo. I was so impressed that I immediately wanted to see more of your work, so I clicked a link to land here for the next illusion. Yet I am already very impressed and moved by the last one!) Spectacular! I will watch this one and others, and I have already subscribed to your channel and look forward to more upcoming videos! Fantastic (literally!) work! Kudos! Keep it up! 😁

    at 3:10 he tells her to look "that way" and points to the right of the stage.

    -For the "No" card, he specifically asked and added "Yes or No" at the end so that Alyson can say No, because if he only asked "Do you know what this mean", Alyson might say "I dont know" and that ruin the scene, theres no trick for this one just a forced Yes/No.
    -For the "Fool Us" card, he revealed the English words between his hand during the performance of the "Chicken" card. Notice how the English words supposed to be at the back but he intended to hold the cards with the English facing the front so Alyson can see the between his finger at 4:17
    -For the "Hand Some" card, why would he need to put 2 cards that he didn't choose on the table? He could just pull out the card he picked and still keep the unchosen cards in his hand. The 2 cards that he put on the table are directions for Alyson, he didn't just put the cards on table, 5:15 he SLAMMED the card hard so that it get Alyson attention. It could be one card written "Read the next card" and the other card written the English phrase that Alyson say out loud.
    -The "Forest" and "Chicken" could be similar but cameraman did a good job not to reveal the trick.
