Magician reacts to Shawn Farquhar 2020 performing a hybrid book mentalism & card magic trick for Alyson and Penn and Teller on their show Penn & Teller Fool Us 2020. Shawn is a World Champion of card magic, and in this episode he demonstrates an impossible card trick, quite like his previous tricks... with an object impossibly appearing inside a brand new, sealed deck of cards. Shawn Farquhar season 7 of Fool Us shares a very entertaining act... and I still can't figure out how he managed Alyson's selection at the beginning of the magic trick! Shawn Farquhar has previously fooled Penn & Teller twice and won the Fooler trophy. This video shows the reaction of someone familiar with magic so you can see how someone in this field feels about the performance! This is Fool Us Season 7 2020.

This was a fun video to watch! Thank Jason, you seem like such a nice guy. I have never watched reaction videos before and decided to make a reaction video of me reacting to this one: ua-cam.com/video/LaeZBKnyxEI/v-deo.html
haha great idea. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a first experience for me as well 😆
I should make a video of me reacting to Shawn's reaction of your reaction video! 🤯🤪
I just watched you watching him watching you!! Crap i should have recorded myself watching you guys so you could watch me watching you watching him watching you!! Now who's gonna watch me?!?! Wait was someone watching me watching you????...........
Such a magicians lovein' 🤣😂
I've said before, I bought Shawn's ACAAN a while ago, so simple and intuitive, thought I saw a simular Yoda technique but could be wrong.
Just watched Shawn's video after it popped up in my recommended (I'd watched Jason's video a few days ago), and flew back here to let Jason know... Beat me to it! It was really cool to watch both reacting to each other - thank you!
PS: I'm still clueless!!! Really beautiful performance
I just loved how he went from performing all over to opening his own small venue so he can spend more time with his family.
Yeah that's really cool and something I didn't know before watching...
Hey everyone reading this! First of all, I do not know Jason, I just really like his content and I want to see this channel succeed. He rarely, if ever, mentions he has patreon. I know it's hard times right now but if you can and you like his stuff as much as I do, please consider supporting him over there too!
Thanks for the help & encouragement Billy! Very kind of you. 🙏
Billy, I agree. It seems that Jason has a good sense of humor and isn't afraid to goof around and make light of his own foibles (love it!) So looking forward to seeing this, as Shawn has an amazing ability to fool.
Yeah Billy, I stumbled upon his channel by accident a couple of days ago, and @@JasonParkerMagic seems so nice and positive, just like Shawn in this video.
So good luck to you Jason, from this one of my personalities and please recieve this hit on the subscribe button.
Jason Barker is outstanding! I watch him every day! I love everything about his presentation down to his remarks! Proceed his input at the end! Before Penn and Teller speak! Jason Parker's the BOMB 🔥 SINCERELY YOURS SUSAN ❤️
That was really funny when he said that he calls them the broback kings
I'm really happy I'm sitting here rather than Penn and Teller's position. There were so many things happening and so many jokes cracked that I cannot even process what's happening let alone to guess how he does it. And Penn and Teller get only one chance to look at it the same way any other viewer would see. And they still got it right! Respect to both of them!
By the way, my take on the Aesop's fable is that, the frogs need the sun for their survival. But they're not aware of it. They only see that the sun dries up their mud and complain about it. No matter what good you do to your society, someone will see something bad in you and will complain.
Thank you Jason for the video. Keep them coming!
Ooooooh that's an excellent take on the fable! Thanks for sharing! And yes you're right I wouldn't envy P&T at that moment... but I guess somehow they figured it all out, including the card selection.... Hmmm...
@@JasonParkerMagic The first few cards are dealt without any shuffling. And it was a pass (he teaches that very move in his H.G effect download. )
Wow! Really insightful!
I love Shawn, and all of his appearances on Fool Us, and i think his third time has to be my all time favorite. Like Penn mentioned, he performed some old routines, and im just in awe at the sheer skill, speed and finesse he displayed in pulling off the first half of the act.
Tellers reaction was priceless.
"Right in the pocket" would be another code word. And I think we all have a general idea of how he does it, but does that really matter? Like anyone can learn a trick, but it's the skill with which you perform it that matters. And this guy's got skill. That's what I find impressive about magic, that even if you know what's going on the magician has such a high level of skill that you still can't see it.
It’s a classic idea to keep the top card (force card) or in this case a few cards, including 8 and 5 on the top while doing a riffle shuffle.
She then starts dealing and after those 3 are dealt he then says she can do bunches of cards or whatever. He spreads the cards as if to show how cards are normally selected and retains a break at the bottom 3 cards. He really just has to do a pass or even just shift those cards to top as squaring.
hmmmm wow! Well described. I think that might be the closest description to how he did it. In fact, after clicking publishing I went and watched that section again super slowly... and RIGHT BEFORE it cuts to another angle... you see Shawn getting fingers into position under the spread... probably exactly like you said in preparation for a pass. HMMM. I wish the camera would have given us a full view of this moment though. There are just a few frames where I could see it starting to happen....
Jason Parker
Even if we didn’t see it, that is the easiest and perhaps only way to accomplish this. It’s really just a card force with a very fancy complicated effect wrapped around it.
@@d_e_a_n I believe that's the trick too - I noticed that force right away (I saw it explained on a Scam School episode once), and after that the trick seemed straightforward. Regardless, I love Shawn and I'll be impressed with him even if I don't think he fooled me.
Look up a video of Shawn doing an ACAAN trick on his channel, Jason :) he is very familiar with doing such stuff
That is pretty much how I think it works.
Shawn’s the best!
Yeah he seems like a really great guy and very talented!
Jason Parker he is! I’ve only met him a few times but he was super nice and we talked for a long time.
Well maybe after JP ...
True
OMG. you have to watch shawn reacting to your reaction of him!!! best thing ive seen today.
Wow! My head hurt just WATCHING Shawn perform this trick!!! 😳🤯😵
I do believe Penn's reference to a pocket suggest that he held on to the 3 cards he needed for the trick as he offered the deck to alison.
Hey Jason, you should react to Shawn Farquhar reacting to you. I just saw that video and it was amazing. The name of the video is Shawn Farquhar REACTING to MAGICIAN reacting to Shawn Farquhar of Fool US Season 7.
By the way in not a magician, but I'm a big fan of you. Keep up the good work.
The "WoW" factor was missing for me. it was all happening so fast. Yet, when he resealed the pack back in the plastic, I thought that was done in such a simple way, as he just closed the flap!. This harms the first P&T trick. Although, how got them in new deck order and with the page inside is hard to see as the camera cuts away!
My guess is he is palming the paper and just slips it in from behind when he gets to J of diamonds as he is scrolling through.
Love this channel. Almost thought I was watching your video from the other day when you mentioned ffff. I will most definitely be checking out the new episode after I watch your reaction.
Keep on making content!
Awesome! Thank you!
yes, all the tricks, shows and reaction videos were all merging together.
It has to be said that it was the most wonderful card force.
Should try something like that in the future.
Regarding 8 perfect shuffles coming back to new deck order: Any regular series of permutations will eventually result the return of the original state in a finite set like a set of playing cards.
I believe the first two farro shuffles brought the jack the 8 and the 5 to the top of the deck. As Allison counted they were now at the bottom of the pile in his hand. When he spread the cards he did executed a pass allowing the cards he needed to be at the top. The rest is just fancy fast switching. That being said I still have no idea how he forced the card Penn took the first time around
This was great. The only reason I had any clue what was happening was because I attended one of his lectures and I picked up most of the stuff he uses. But he is awesome and a great performer.
Yes!! Was happy to see you reacting to this 🤙🏼
🙌
I think that's an interesting way he had his hand positioned against his chest there while Alyson is handing out the cards. I didn't see anything, but then Penn says "You did it so fast and clean" as he puts his hand against the edge of his own jacket. Maybe something, maybe not. But maybe something.
Possibly/Maybe a ruse ?
Given that his hands were clean before that and that afterwards it looks like he's palming some cards that is probably how he did it. Could also be what "right in the pocket" refers to, could just be his right hand pocket.
from 3:40-3:45. palm of his hand is over his lapel, he "motivates' touching his chest by saying "you have cards and "I have cards." making the unnatural move of bringing his palm to his chest seem "natural"
If you play his hand going from his chest down to the stack in slow motion(0.25%) you won't see him having palmed card there and even his fingers are quite far a part at one point.
I watched it multiple times, this would have to be the sickest palm ever especially considering he somehow got them from his chest wich doesn't seem like a palm that would allow you to set them up so precisely.
@@helderboymh Indeed, well you can't see if he's palming anything or not, but his hand goes fairly straight before he even touches the deck.
Nevertheless this is one of the best magicians in the world. So I honestly wouldn't put it past him lol. Also it is a well known spot to have a hidden pocket, so...
Still, could all be misdirection. In the end all we know is that he forced the cards in some way, and no matter how he did it it was done perfectly.
Dude, that third performance was the best of all performances by anyone.
At 3.32 when he handover the deck to Alison, the jack of diamond is already on the top of the deck. When Alison deals back cards, the Jack of diamond goes to the bottom of the deck on Shawn's hand. Then he cleverly forces it to the top of the deck.
@jason, I think the hint from teller is "fast and furious and clean and that maybe we'd forget stuff," regarding the force. If you look at what happens when he has alison putting the cards in his hand, the first few cards she puts down are just whatever was on top when Shawn handed her the deck. (fast and furious meaning the reason it works is Alison puts enough cards down to complete the trick before she starts messing with the deck, and forget stuff about not recognizing she already places enough cards before she did so). At which point any manipulation that puts those three cards on the top completes the force. (the clean reference). Could even have made it easier by picking an order that sequenced 5-8-J as the top three when handed to alison so that when reversed in his hand (from Alison placing them one at a time) they are already in J-8-5 order and it's simply a matter of lifting them to the top of the deck while his hand covers it.
Unless you saw more in the palm movements than I did that made it impossible for him to have manipulated them that way (I know you said you didn't see him /add/ new cards, but that would have different indicators I think)
"Pocket" was the word I picked up on.
Shaun forced the 8 and the 5 on top.
How though?
He said 5 before he had flipped the card to have even seen what card it was. The flap and Pen maneuver. Very sneaky.
I enjoy our story time Jason and the weeks amusing wisdom with just the right solar intensity.
It's fun how the Jack of diamonds was also the card that was chosen in the first time he fooled Penn and teller
it was the 7 of diamonds.

Nice book vanish effect : )
For the card selection, I think the cards are the first three cards to be dealt as, when Alyson stops dealing, he spreads the cards so he could side steal the bottom three cards and add them to the top.
Also when Alyson signs the box, you can see it already has the plastic on it.
All right two videos this week keep it up I'm not a video gamer but I've been reading a lot about the video game The Last of Us Part 2 I think there's a debate there that needs to happen something I'd like to see you talk about
What is going on penn literally said the rat bastard was not going to be allowed on the show..😆😅 can't wait to watch this
I don't go back to check, but I feel like Penn said probably something about doing the same trick again. Since they have to tell the trick to the judges, after the show they might reveal it to P&T.
He indeed is a world champion
Jason, I think you saw the interesting thing that I saw in the 2 shuffles, based on your look at the camera at 3:33 minutes. I was lucky enough to also catch the important sectioning out of the 2 bottom cards immediately after, just before a camera angle change prevented us from clearly seeing the control to the top of the deck (my assumption, but it just has to be correct). That is why it didn't matter how Allison shuffled the cards after dealing out the first 2 (probably reversed order). I completely agree with you on your assessment that 85 had to be predetermined.
The mere number of tricks and his skills blow my mind. Fooled me for sure. More importantly, it was really entertaining which is what magic is all about. Alyson dealt the cards but the cards were in his hands and with his skills he sure can force the card in a blink of an eye (just a thought, not sure). Thank you for the video Jason, it's always a treat.
They need to put this show in 4k 120fps.
He's back! Omg
I can not believe I wrote this. I feel sooo bad now... I am so sorry :( I am going to delete it.
I agree with the force of the three cards, but he didn’t use the pass, he used a sleight of hand Shawn invented himself called the H.G effect
@Red Dwarf I wrote how I think it is done.
If I had to guess the trick happened at 3:33. The cards were the first 3 she dealt to him. Everything else was for show
Dude great vid!!! and that was a hell of a story I'll be sure to remember...
Glad you enjoyed it!! :)
I guess he controls the three cards to the top of the deck when he runs through the deck to show the new deck order. During the faro shuffle he merges below those cards. Alyson deals the cards one after the other onto his hand, he only tells her to do groups etc. after the initial three cards are dealt. Then he controls the cards to the top like others already mentioned at 3:40.
For the book: There seems to be a second page 85, to which he opens it for Alyson. Looking closely at 5:47 and 7:14, you can see the page comes after the middle at first, but when Alyson opens it, page 84/85 comes before the middle of the book.
I didn't see the deck switch, but the camera isn't on him when the deck switches from his right to his left hand at 5:56
The flap most likely refers to a flap which he holds onto the sealed deck, so it looks like an opened deck when Alyson signs it. At 6:06 you can see the addded flap not being flat on the deck at its edge
Not sure if I'm right, it's just my best guess.
(I haven't gone through all other comments, so maybe all of that had already been mentioned)
Just realized he never runs through the deck up to the 8 of hearts at the beginning, in order to control that card to the top. But as he doesn't show the deck up to the 8 of hearts, this one could have been on top of the deck (below the ad cards) in the sealed deck.
Penn's flap remark refers to Hondo's gimmicked Flap Card used in the trick.
He is awesome. But your correct, he forced those 3 cards to top and used two decks and setup 2 books ahead of time. He did really great slight of hand on the shuffle but after those 3 cards were selected it is pretty straight forward.
Congratulations Jason, you must be pretty excited that Shawn Farquhar reacted to your video and also about his positive feedback. 😀
This channel is a joy
YOU are a joy :)
@@JasonParkerMagic Thank you.
I fold you for a while. Catching you once in awhile, and the videos were very good. I'll follow you more!
at 3:40 (exactly 6 or 7 seconds later, when the camera angel switches to his front)) you see, how he devides the 3 last cards from the rest of the deck, so he can put them on the top of the deck. And at 4:30, when he needs a "random number", he says "and a 5", even before looking at this card (so he knew, it was a five!). Too quickly said ;)
Great catch! I didn't notice that. He does appear to say "five" almost as soon as he sees the card... perhaps a little too soon, as you suggested :)
I think his whole act was way too fast...didn't have time to catch your breath. Did he have a train to catch or something? Maybe another highly paid gig in Saudi Arabia?
I notice the jack 8 5 are in arithmetic sequence 5+3=8, 8+3=11 (jack). but if you actually do two faro shuffles (in or out) these three cards are not next to each other, nor is there any sequence 5,8,11 of any other suits. My guess is he forced those three to be there.
I thought the hat trick originally came from hockey (3 goals in one game), but it turns out to have come from cricket, where it refers to scoring 3 wickets in 3 straight throws.
In USA I have always heard it as ice hockey. Turkey is bowling.
@@4familyandfriendsURL It's in most sports these days in some form or not. (Like football where you score 3 goals in the one half-time.) And even in games. I (for some weird reason) still play an old browser game called Utopia and a hat trick there is getting three crowns(Number one on the leaderboard in three different categories).
That said, had never heard of it in bowling actually. :O
@@andreaskarlsson5251 turkey is three strikes in a row in bowling. :-)
@@4familyandfriendsURL it would also be a hat trick since hat trick is bowling the same three times in a row according to google. :P
@@andreaskarlsson5251 I think google got it wrong, or it changed. Cousin was a pro bowler with four pro shops in san Diego area 40ish years ago. No one ever said hat trick.
Jason that was absolutely phenomenal!. Shawn thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing one on the one and only Jason Parker! He never gives secrets away!Mister Parker is one of the most upbeat happy magicians I love to watch! He is amazing! As you are also Shawn! Penn and Teller 😂 are the bomb!

3:47 look closely on his left hand and you will know how the Jedi intervened :)
Great video Jason! Love your reactions! :)
Thanks so much!!
Nice reaction video!!!
Shawn Farquhar is always fun to watch and he's a great magician.
As for being fooled i wasn't but it's a great rutine, fast passing, non- stop 👍
Penn didn't address (from what I've heard) how he got the Jack of D right.
Keep it up and stay safe 😁👍
thanks!! :)
Was looking forward to your comments on this! Looking forward to the other performers on the show!
They're coming soon! :)
At 5:54 the car pack swapped hands seamlessly. Bit suss? And earlier when the jack and 8 and 5 were chosen there was an obvious palm to load them on.
Penn also said "mythical flying horses," but a unicorn deck is just a design, not an effect, right?
He also said "pocket," which, I assume refers to the deck and *possible* book switch.
He knew Allison would deal the cards one by one at first, so, perhaps after the faro shuffles, (I think mentioning "learning" from Penn about perfect shuffles was verbal misdirection that he was, maybe doing faros that were perfect *for him*) he knew those 3 cards would be first and somehow controlled those 3 to the top. (I didn't see it.)
I know I'm stretching for an answer...
The flying horse that first comes to my mind is Pegasus. Does that mean anything to anyone?
@@osliverpool I didn't peg what he did but a did think it all very sus.
@@osliverpool I looked and found a trick called, "Pegasus Page," and here's the description:"a page is selected from a book and is made to disappear leaving a torn section in the book, this torn page is later revealed in an envelope in view througout!," so, I guess that's what he meant.
@@monteanderson7181 Aha, well found!
Wow nice find guys! I had not heard of this named "Pegasus Page" effect before.... although I remember Tom Stone did something like in his performance... my reaction is no longer available to that video because he forced me to remove it lol...
I think .... When he initially shown new deck it is ok... But when he put the cover in it's pocket he took extra J, 8,5 and then placed at top.... Then he shows the deck from bottom side face-up .... When it was dealt on his hand by Allison.. Those 3 cards went to bottom.... At 3:48 when he spread the card... He took 3 cards from bottom & placed it at top...
Penn also said “BASS” which could refer to base dealing. Could he have pulled the three cards off the bottom of the deck?
Similar type channel and I love your videos, but debating on whether to watch it now or do my own reaction lol.
I didn't even know he was on a third time! So this is the first time I'm seeing this performance. I was going to say this would best be enjoyed after watching this second illusion (this was like an episode of Arrested Development with all the call backs to the previous 2 tricks), but something you said makes me think you've seen it already.
Yeah I had to go ahead and watch his 2nd performance right before filming this one... even though I hadn't had a chance to make a reaction video to it before. :( Because I was afraid he would somehow make a reference to it. And he completely did! So I'm really glad I decided to just watch the 2nd performance ...
@@JasonParkerMagic Thoughts on the second one?
technically a hat trick is 3 goals by the same player in an ice hockey game.... other sports have adopted the analogy but it's stems from a hockey player scoring 3 goals in one game (a "natural hat trick" is 3 goals in a row by the same player)
Pretty sure the terms stems from cricket, hockey and soccer both adopted it.
It came from cricket, where if the bowler got 3 outs in 3 consecutive bowls, he literally got a new hat..... other sports adopted it from that
haha... funny to know that a new hat was the reward :)
He reminds me of myself when I “accidentally” took my kids ADD medicine.
He has his hand to his chest at 3:44 and when saying "That's good?" he quickly moves his closed, sideways positioned, hand on top of the deck. He forced 3 cards right there.
Nahh watch the ten seconds before that in slow mo you can see his hand is empty and its not possible to just put cards in that hand by just placing it on his chest. If you watch in slow motion you'll also won't see any cards in his hand as he puts it on top of the deck.
He forced the cards, the sleight of hand used is called H.G by Shawn Farquar, you can buy it
@@tomas_soeterik I just looked at that effect and I don't see how it's related at all as he use two ways to determine the card (one picka card from a fan and one name a card) neither of wich he used in this trick.
@@helderboymh I am talking about the force, he forced the card just like in the H.G effect. Allison starts dealing the cards and after she stops Shawn spreads them out and does the move. I don't understand what you mean a fan picked a card, sorry.
@@tomas_soeterik I'm talking about the video I looked up for that effect that you are talking about, watch that video please (search H. G SHAWN FARQUAR). Maybe that wil make this easier
He used the top 3 cards and instructed Alyson to hand over cards 1 at a time at the start, so the cards at the bottom of the pile could have been forced. The flashy hand waves before the card reveals could be to hide that he moved the bottom cards to the top.
Here's a thought. There are rules... but are they allowed to tell the director to ask a certain cameraman when to cut to another angle during a trick?
Maybe so... after the performance... they gotta spend a little time deciding what edit to release to the public.
The way I see it, you aren't allowed to use a camera trick, meaning you can't use the live cameras that Penn, Teller, and the audience are watching. But after the fact editing is irrelevant for fooling Penn and Teller, so the audience at home doesn't necessarily get the same performance.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I have never had any control over where the cameras are placed, which shots are used, or any input into the editing of the segment. I don't think I even met the Director. I heard his voice once in the rehearsal. LOL
Playing this at 0.25 speed, 1080p and full screen, he did not palm the 3 cards. He waved his hand quite a bit in front of Alyson and rotated in every angle. Nothing traveled through the sleeve, both hands were tracked. It was not a palmed force. The shuffle seemed fair, the choice seemed free. I'm fooled.
My guess is that the deck was not completely in new deck order. He only showed the lower half of the deck until the 'kissing Kings'. And when he did the shuffles, the top cards stayed in place. When the cards were placed into his hand, he told her only after the first few cards, that she can also put down multiple cards. So the desired cards were at the bottom. When he squared up the cards he controlled them to the top (at 3:48 is a suspicious sound).
Wow you guys are great! I didn't even notice that sound the first time. I do think something happened right there, but as the camera angle switched right at that moment, it's quite hard to tell...
At the 08:23 mark, Parker's face says it all (WTF?!??). 🤣😂🤣😂
Random number 85 is a force. This is a key to being able to prepare the deck. That's as far as I can get and I'm no magician.
JASON for the LOVE OF #$% please react to the 2019 Christmas FOOL US Asi Wind performance. It will knock your socks off!! Best Fool Us performance in a few years!!
For a split second at #3:48 you can see him grab cards from the bottom. Once palmed he moved them to the top.
Also. It is not until after she deals more than 3 cards to his hand that he says she can deal more than one card at a time. By that time the top 3 cards have moved to the bottom. Which he then moves to the top at 3:48
He's really talented
I was frankly getting annoyed with his constant references to the previous episodes he was on. Seemed a bit self-congratulatory or something. But after your comments about it really illustrating how he was merging the two illusions, it made more sense. I'm not annoyed anymore. Thank you. BTW, getting a reaction video out this quickly after the episode was pretty nice. Thanks.
I know absolutely nothing about card tricks or sleight of hand, so everybody feel free to gang up on me.
But both times he did this trick for Penn and Teller, he pulls the Joker out before the big reveal, and it seems like he could put the Joker where the selected card would go and leave it sticking out, giving him an easy way to put the selected card back in new deck order fast... But everybody's like, "I can't figure out how he gets it in the right spot." Am I totally off the mark here?
This was a great show last night.😊😊
Yes it was!
After watching some of those old acts from season one and then this, it's pretty clear that Jonathan Ross was so much better than Alyson Hannigan when interviewing performers and participating in tricks.
yeah Jonathan is SUCH a funny guy too...
Some times alyson is good.
I don't want to ruin the trick, but since you asked on the video, I'm 99% certain that he forced the cards.. The pass was almost invisible duo the camera angle
maybe he used the fan, in which he spreads the cards at the beginning, to control the 3 cards on top?
At 3:47 it seems he is doing something with the bottom card.
Where have you been??!!
I was still posting videos... just like once every 2 weeks. But now I'm back and will be publishing every week... make sure to put notifications to ALL ;) 😆
He was getting a haircut....check his last video for how it was done haha
Did you see that Shawn Farquhar made a reaction video to your reaction video of his performance on his UA-cam channel?
I've no idea how it works, but isn't a card flap where a card starts out as one card and then the same card instantly turns into another? It can also be done with card boxes to change their colour or design.
He is an amazing performer... However my guess is that the card selection was forced... He never declared how the cards will be selected initially once he had J Diamonds ready that became her selection
And so did choice of page 85
Oh!!! Put an extra flap on an already sealed deck!!! That makes sense!
Yeah exactly! Crafty!! Tricky!! :-D
He got her to cap the pen so that it masked the sound of him relidding the deck of cards. A magician rarely does anything for no reason at all, and he specifically asked her to cap the pen while at the same time fiddling with the deck lid. Key word here is.. "flap" The flap, the lid of the deck.
The fact that he said 5 before he even looked at the card was weird to me the first time I saw it but then I remembered I was watching a magician that already knew what those cards would be before he even shuffled the deck. Yeah, everything seems normal here guys...
So just assuming there was some nice force at the start, or way to get cards on top, everything else was just self working, other than getting the seal back on the deck.
Torn page, missing card, etc, etc, was all set and ready to go. Simple set/force, some nice kickass slight of hand and great talk!
My take, seems like a reasonable straight forward force. Due to cameraman it is impossible to be sure, but I don’t think he palmed the cards and placed them on top even though he put his hand up to his vest.
First he shows the deck of cards starting at the bottom saying they are in new deck order (call me suspicious). He starts showing the spades, then the diamonds, then clubs and then rushes through the rest of the deck so he never shows what cards are actual on top, which I think is where the J, 5 and 8 laid in wait.
So when the deck is turned over, those 3 cards are on top of the deck and he does a few shuffles never messing up the top 3 cards. Then Alison deals those top 3 cards to him and now they are on the bottom of his hands and only after that point does he tells Alison she can pull cards from anywhere. Then the useless POS cameramen decides instead of showing us the deck of the cards we would want to see the back of Faruhar’s suit; butut if you look at 3:47 right after he spreads the cards out and look at his fingers position you can see he is separating those 3 cards at that point. I think somewhere when we are looking at his back he moves the bottom 3 cards to the top of the deck (I wonder if the cameraman is paid off or incompetent).
Now there is so much going on with this trick it is hard to even follow all of it. For the deck switch he had all the time in the world to swap the deck and the trick was as Penn said the “FLAP”. I think the sealed deck had the fake flap which he then removed at 6.37 leaving a sealed deck.
It was hard to see the book swap as once again the cameraman shows what he wants to show, but he had all the time in the world to swap the book and Penn mentioned pocket. So I am not 100% sure if book swap or just a book with some gimmick. I will have to research the Pegasus Page.
You did not do a video on Ondrej, that fooled Penn and Teller. I must be missing something or maybe there was something there more complicated. Penn checked the cards and they were not fake that could only leave me with one conclusion. They acted like she pulled the Ace of Spades and then she picked the
mouth to feed the bug into. She fed the bug into a mouth and then he played a video clip. I would guess he had a Video clip ready no matter what Mouth she chooses. Any other opinions?
Also you did not mention Gertner. One bad break for Gertner was that Penn picked 47, so there would have only been 5 more cards remaining and there were clearly
more than 5 cards remaining which is why he quickly straightened up the deck. But I am going to ignore that fact, as I am interested in the pen. He did not give the Pen to Penn until after Teller picked the pick and Pen choice his number. Penn kept saying the word force again and again. My question did he force the pick or
not. Because if Teller had free choice of the picks that means Gertner had a hell of lot of pens in his coat. At a minimum he had to have 52. I am curious how he had all those pens organized so he could quick and easy pick it out. As for the card pick as Penn kept saying rough and smooth again and again.
Would "pocket" be a possible code for forcing the three cards? Don't know any magic, but it seems like it's a potential one to me at least.
At 4:35 when he said that he needs a rundom number he knew that the second card was 5 before he saw the it. Am I wrong?
Alright, he fooled me!
Must admit i always thought Aesop's Fables Book you read was going to be long running magic trick like a blank book lol.
hahaha.... that would be great... maybe I can implement that into a future video... :)
An edit where the camera remains on the magician with no cuts to the audience or P&T would be nice. bluray and dvd have multi camera/video channel features. It could be a great feature and selling point for the discs. We could even click from camera to camera as we please. lol
Yeah that would be a compelling reason to buy the DVDs!
You look like the nicest guy
He knew what cards she dealt to his hand so he cut them or did a pass to get them to the top,in order to force.
The page 85 in the frist 5:57 time is almost iin the middle of the book, then in 2nd time de page 84 7:14 is in other position in the book.. hum!
Everything happened so fast, I didnt get the clue what part was the magic what part was what.. damn
lol yeah, I didn't follow that trick at all. There were a few points I could see that he did a move, but that's about it. Best guess I have is he somehow palmed the three cards on top at some point.
The fable has me equally mystified.
The pharoah shuffles? He probably knows the order for the shuffle he was on. Like CHSD order, obviously it's not literally chsd. The way the card is picked seems like he could have gotten to it by knowing the position.
Say he knows the jack of diamonds is the first card before she deals them down. When he's saying you could just spread the cards out like that and pick it, but you get the top card. As he spreads the cards he might be moving the bottom card to the top of the deck, which if JoD was the first card dealt down that card would be JoD. I feel this must be close to how the jack is forced. Probably not exactly right. In 2 new deck order faro shuffles, apparently jack of diamonds is the 10th card. Which he would know he'd have before he said she could stop. He even flashes something when he spread the cards he had.
What did he mean by ''playing base right in the pocket''?
Could you also react to his second performance on the show? That one's my favorite of his. Or did you already do so and I just can't find it for some reason?
Now I'm definitely not good enough to see how he did this, but before he finished I was thinking cooler for the force, do you think that's possible Jason. By the way I've only learnt these code words and methods by watching your videos, cheers 👍
Hey Glen! Cooler in the past when Penn has said it means "ringing in a cooler" or to switch out decks. :)
I followed the trick perfectly, but only because I've purchased Shawn's effects. I'm not going to explain any of it, but it makes sense you didn't catch it.
