- Bryan Saint fools Penn & Teller a second time with a green folder and a Rubik’s cube! Penn & Teller: Fool Us
Returning to Penn & Teller: Fool Us (S10, E6), Charlotte NC based magician Bryan Saint takes a green folder and a Rubik’s cube and shows a trick that can only be done on TV. He then becomes one of the few magicians in 10 seasons to fool Penn & Teller more than once. In Penn’s own words, “We just cannot figure out how you did it!”
Bryan originally fooled Penn & Teller with take on a classic rope routine using a phone charger. You can see that video here:

I love they give the magician rights to post their segments on personal UA-cam accounts it just shows the good hearts Penn and teller have not monetizing everything so they can benefit. I hated Howard stern was asking Penn why he did cameos and he was like I just like to be involved with my fans and it’s one way I can.
It's great. It's already an incredible platform for magicians and doing that really puts it over the top.
As a fellow Fooler, and freely admit that you fooled me🤩 too. LOVED IT! Well done Brother.
@@kingcosworth2643TRiUMPh! 🤣
Is it not just a self organizing cube tho… you can here the sound at 6:22 one is foldable (then put in is jacket) etc. But yeah, still puzzling and leave places for doubt on how exactly
yesssss awesome support sire.... ummmm once you know it, could you plz share it? ....umm actually plz dont. That will take the magic away.
The Big Finnish!!!!! I'm a fan Africaaaa! Cheers brother!
@@bigpofficial4844 thank you Brother ❤️
The way teller looks at your table at the end of the video is the real trophy.
It was a self resolving cube
@@Ceramic_disc But he had three in his hands at one time? Where did they go?
And the TINIEST hint of a head shake right at the very end. Perfect.
@@MrWhelts Jacket, is why he walked behind the folder to unload them and then he stalls for a bit near the with his arm behind the folder trying to store them away again
he looked for a LOOOOONG time too lmao
Bryan uses a black hole sticker, kind of like in Looney Tunes cartoons. This opens a portal to an alternate dimension and he can just pull cubes in and out accordingly. Once done, sticker removed and torn up in the folder. You can call the Acme Company to order all this.
I mean... Obviously
Portal magic. My favorite.
I hate you people that give away the trick.
No he's switching cubes by traveling through spacetime
I'm ordering one of those portals now! I thought they only existed in cartoons!
Honestly 10 seconds into your act I realised i didn't care if the trick was good or not, I was just elated to be watching such an outstanding performer. Loved the earnest delivery.
Pro tip: If you carefully watch the clip at 1/2 speed, it will take you twice as long to get fooled by this!
😅😅😅
well......no... I followed along.. but its a masterclass on sleight of hand and presentation. 10/10 to him
This post is just as clever as it was the first 20 times I read it.
@@MasterFhylyup read this same comment like 2 years ago, and I saw a comment just like yours lol.
It‘s a self resolving cube
Oh man, that reveal at the end was so well done.
Yeah I never saw that one coming!
I saw it coming since he kept saying he wasn’t switching and I truly believe he was being honest about that. But knowing what the end was going to be completely mind fucked me when he showed what appears to be 3 Cubes at once. I knew he had two and I figured he would eventually ditch one and just be left with the last one but then after showing 3 he shows a green cube and I’m like fuck…so well done. They are obviously gimmicked in some way and probably some sleight of hand but overall bravo. I don’t even want to know how it’s done. It was perfect. I was soooo engaged the whole time.
@@orlandorodriguez7235Yeah they were gimmick cubes that folded and he was putting them in his jacket when he moved by the green folder.
I have never been a fan of “magic acts” that are completely dependent on gimmicks that can be bought off the shelf. Also when your sleight of hand is sloppy enough that it is obvious to someone like me.
@@lubrew5862🤓🤓🤓
Penn really said it best. I have a pretty good idea of how this happened (given that I love cubes and cube magic) but because I know how it happened I'm even more impressed and can't fathom how it was pulled off.
Patter and skill, this is such a great trick.
Even with a prop so solve a cube with one touch it still seems impossible
It‘s a self resolving cube
@@Ceramic_disc yes and even then it’s impressive because that’s not even half the trick
@@Ceramic_disclol and the three cubes he had in his hand? The green cube? The disappearing cubes?
It was interesting that the first time he just put the unsolved real cube behind the folder and then grabbed the shell with 5 sides, so it's pretty obvious how he did it. But that was just misdirection. He then started solving the real cube with one hand behind the folder over and over. Then he shows the 3 cubes at the same time and then the green cube later. So we are really confused at this point. So now we're thinking OK there are 4 cubes and then at the end there is only 1 cube. The only thing that is kind of suspicious if you really looked was at the end, the table and the folder start vibrating caused by him collapsing the shells of the cubes flat but you really can't see anything when he removes the folder because I imagine both the table and the flattened cubes are all a really dark black which is hard for the human eye to differentiate.
Hey Bryan, a HUGE congratulations on such a great presentation and as they said, awesome script! This routine is the kind of FOOLER I love to watch. Yes, you fooled me too.. but I'm easy to fool. 🙂 Thanks again for the warm apple juice too.
As a long-time fan of the series, it's so wholesome to see other Foolers congratulate each other on these videos because it's the biggest compliment a magician can receive. It's one thing to impress rubes like me, it's another entirely to entertain/mystify other top-level practitioners. P.S. I miss seeing you on Fool Us Mr. Farquhar, as your performances were among my favorites from any season.
You're a legend bro!
GREAT act. I was hooked from the beginning. But I also loved seeing Teller just STARE at the table and cube as they cut away to break. You could almost see the gears turning trying to work it out or see what he missed from offstage.
5:10 - dude, the handling of the green cube to make sure the proper faces show out at the same time was so fluid. you had your hand motions so practiced to look unpracticed it's wild.
Curious how many sides of the cube you think are green, if you dont mind me asking.
@@Mitch_Feral three - he shows the same 3 sides of the cube each time, but his hand movements are so fluid the angle he shows makes it seem like he's rotating it, when he's not. this is likely one of the "normal" 3 cubes he pulls out at the other point of the trick, but showing the opposite 3 sides with "scrambled" stickers. it means he has one less cube to handle while adding a really nice element of "wtf" to the trick
Edit: 4:37 - cube '3' he never shows more than 3 sides - likely the back of that one has the green squares
@@Mitch_Feralhe’s also setting the cubes up in a position to be solved easily
Absurd. Slow the video down and you can count more than 3 colors. In fact I think he is exposing more than three faces purposely to disprove your theory. Besides, he mixes up the solved cube. Magicians want you to solve the trick with the wrong answer, which you did. I find Fool Us comments are full of absolutely silly explanations like this one.
@@aro3275There is only one cube he is manipulating and it is a self solving cube. That is why you can always hear it hit the table when he sets it down, it resets to cube to solved. The other two cubes are folding and he places them in the table near the end when you see the folder shake.
Well done Bryan! I’ve been solving cubes for a while, and I saw a few of the trick you used, but when you revealed the clear table… 🥳🤯👍 great work, good luck, happy magicking!
I had a feeling there would only be one at the end. 👏👏 Plus, your daughter is PRECIOUS! Beautiful eyes, and that laugh warms this mother’s heart!! 🩷
I'm pretty sure I've watched every episode of Fool Us so far, and this is hands down, one of my top 5 favorite tricks! So well done!
Did you get a chance to see Helen Coghlan's 6th visit on the show? I believe it was also just in the last few weeks. Once again it defied a rational explanation. I'm not sure P & T tried very hard, the trick was that good.
It‘s a self resolving cube
As an avid twisty puzer, I was fully expecting this to be another lousy one-handed memorized algorithm scramble quick solve type of trick. But then he made the cubes vanish! 🤯 Those definitely looked like legit cubes and not shells. Amazing. Very well-deserved win there and nice to see a tasteful cube trick for once 👏
Он 1 кубик за ширмой крутил собирая и разбирая.
А все остальные 3 кубика были бумажными, которые он не крутил.
Все бумажные кубики, ин элементарно складывал их на столике, и пальцем вставлял пряча в толщину этого столика.
Бумажный кубик в сложенном виде будет толщиной около 4 мм.
А толщина столика 6 - 10 мм.
В столике есть пустое пространство.
What if he was a lousy one-handed memorized algorithm scramble quick solve with only one cube and all others were paper that he could crush and hide at the end ?
@@Darwiin88 that's plausible, but the fake cubes look very convincing
@@ShortFilmVD Have you seen one moving or rotating ?
n88 no 😂 have you? Regardless, still more tasteful than a boring quick solve
Wow. That was brilliant. Loved the entire performance. You told us the OBVIOUS way you would do the trick and then you showed us that's not how you did it.
Classic Penn and Teller that.
im a passionate magic fan. that's been said i watched a lot. your presentation is simply top class with impeccable delivery timing and charm. Many can't do that. Ill be remembering your name as one of the best magician. Pls keep magic-ing and hopefully i'll stumble on you anytime soon! Cheers mate.
I was smiling ears to ears thru-out the entire show. Well deserved FU trophy!!
This is amazing. One of the best routines I’ve ever seen
That was really smooth and really enjoyable to watch. Well played out and presented.
As someone who can actually solve a cube in less than a minute. The quick 1 handed solve is a easy thing most people don't understand. but where did the other cubes go? Im thinking when he pulled out the 2 extra cubes, they're paper, or collapsible cubes that don't actually turn. Because there are some suspicious bumps to the table. The rest of the motions are him solving and scrabbling the same physicals cube.
Would also be my guess. It all goes from the moment he showed the 3 cubes at the same time (+ the green one). He makes 3 hand movements (for the 3 fakes) that seem to go deeper to the level of the table to stash them away. Which is also why he always made sure to make very obvious bumps and switches before, just slightly different.
Yeah he's "scrambling" the cubes but it's probably a moveset to get it to be 4 or so moves away from being solved. It'll look pretty scrambled by that point. Also he never rotates the green cube so it'll be a fake.
Im pretty sure hes clacking the big ring hes wearing on the table when he puts down the fake cubes. Its also more obvious when he has the green cube in his hand since he presents it for much longer and without movement, hes careful not to make it appear like it has no weight and never turns it.
I wondering why he was using a green folder specifically instead of just a paper. If the other cubes are paper fakes, he could hide them in the green folder. So when he rips up the folder he's essentially getting rid of the evidence of the trick.
Bryan, that was freaking awesome! Way to go man! As a father of two daughters I admire your attitude towards your kid! Cheers, buddy!
ill say i watch many acts from fool us on youtube and this one had me captivated, and fooled. please keep going with these crazy acts youre great at it and the storytelling part
absolutely an amazing performance! Thank you!
I call that man a friend and a mentor, a phenomenal trickster. Beautifully written, performed, and magicked
congratulations for the 2nd Fool Us Penn & Teller Show, Bryan. I totally enjoyed your performance (from Vietnam). It makes me satisfied. What an excellent act!
Fantastic. Your first entry on Fooled Us was great but this one was even better. Well done!
Congrats Brian! You have great showmanship & energy. What an awesome trick!!
great to see you back
Laughed out loud a couple of times. Great trick!
I love magicians, not only are they gonna blow your mind, they also have the patter and the ability to keep the whole crowd laughing while also scratching their heads, it's a wonderful form of art.
It was a self resolving cube
@@Ceramic_disc Watch a video of a self resolving cubes. Those are totally unsuitable for this trick. The explanation with paper cubes makes much more sense
Awww. Congratulations for your success both on and off stage Bryan! I love your daughter's laugh when you do the tricks for her. It's so cute! Also, the trick was amazing and hilarious just like the last time. Well done!
That is a wonderful routine.. Absolutely loved that.. Congratulations and a wonder performance and routine.. Oh and congratulations on your family too..
Wow man! I love that effect, and you are a genius! I'm still leaning toward it's not even an illusion, but actual magic. Congratulations and all good wishes for 2024.
You nailed it Bran! Bravo. 🙌 🎉
Awesome. incredible. One of my fav foolers, in another amazing fool us episode!!
That was great. I really enjoyed it. Lots of fun to watch.
I often come back to rewatch this video. What a performance.
Awesome routine, Bryan. Congratulations!
I usually dont do comments, but this routine is REALLY one of kind.
Well done! 👏🏻
Definitely was hooked for every second.
You are so fun to watch! I enjoyed your performance tremendously!
I love that Teller looks at the table in the end like "How the hek did he do it?"
Well done, and Merry Christmas! 🎄
Now that's a hot trick!!! Best of luck to you and thank you for the show.
The pause for effect that goes unnoticed by the audience. Brilliant!
That was wonderful - congrats!!
Absolutely wonderful !!
Wow this was so good. I think this is my favorite magic trick of the year.
OH MY.
Worth the wait. Rare time that the sequel was better.
Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight, Bryan Saint's Second Appearance!
I’ve watched most fool us performances and magic for 30+ years. Dumbfounded, no idea. This is up there now with my previous favourite, the Dani Daortiz. I miss the shock of surprise in magic now but you brought that back for me again!
Simple yet so complex, brain pretzel! Phenomenal art!
One of the best I've seen!!!
hahaha amazing presentation! Loved it and listened you like a child!
Really good magic. Thanks. ❤
Yahooo! Congratulations! We’ll done!❤
I had no idea you did it again. That's great!!
Here is my current theory regarding the trick. Bryan has a real cube, and two faux-cubes. One of the faux-cubes is a fake solved cube, at 3:21 he places the "solved cube" behind the folder, and at 3:31 he places the real cube behind the folder, solves it quickly with one hand, and pulls it out again. He does this again and again until he pulls out the "solved cube" again at 4:35. He then places it back and it is never seen again. At 4:45 Bryan pulls out the second faux-cube alongside the real cube and the first faux-cube, making sure to only show three of it's faces, the red, white, and blue faces. I believe this is because the other three faces are those of the "green cube". When he pulls out the "green cube" at 5:12, the top face is not actually visible, and a second later he places that face on his palm, once again only allowing three faces to be seen. The most important part is that he never manipulates the faces of this faux-cubes, so they can be made compressible. Being compressible, they can both be slipped into the sleeve of the folder or some other location, cleanly disposing of them.
But the real question isn't how he did it in theory, but how he did it in practice without it being instantly obvious. This would indeed logically explain the trick, but the explanation fails to account for the seemingly impossible skill with which it was done. I believe this is the mystery Penn and Teller could not solve, and thus why they admitted defeat. Even I must admit defeat, because after spending 20 minutes reviewing the trick over and over, going through specific points frame by frame, I still cannot figure out when and where he disposed of the false cubes.
Russian dolls?... 🤔
Here's a hint. He's never actually solving a cube.
Exquisite presentation, love it!
Amazing. Just amazing. I have a feeling they understood, but couldn’t completely get it but just by what you did, you did for them what you just did for me and I’ll take it with me for years to come.
when I saw the first cube and saw the aligned blocks I thought: ya well only few movements to solve that one, and with training also doable in less than a second in one hand. What I don't understand is how theres multiple cubes and then only oine :D well done and kudos for not making noise while solving them one-handed
Echoing others here, that patter is **divine**
Fantastic trick and performance!
Amazing! I'm still shell shocked after watching that.
This was a great performance, Fantastic and congratulations 🎉on winning the trophy 🏆 😊👏👍
Awesome, congratulations
Bryan Saint's magic trick is a great example of the power of magic. It shows how magic can be used to create surprise and delight in the viewer.
Thst was awesome! Congrats!
this is so much better than your first appearance, that was great
I saw what happens the first time through!!!! There is only one cube... but it's not a regular cube. You can see as he scrambles the cube he needs to hold in a way that it doesn't automatically spring back into positions. The little cubes are held by elastics that "unwinds" the cube as he sets it down. You can see a couple times when he's scrambling the cube it tries to snap back and he has to hold it a certain way so it stays mixed.
Except that he’s holding multiple cubes throughout the performance. In fact at 3:00 in you can see a side view of a second cube behind the folder while he’s holding another one. So close and yet so far.
@@gregkowalchuk3562 Except that hiding a prop or two or three while keeping the "working" prop front and center would probably be closer to the explanation.
I think that's it. One cube that springs back and the rest are shells that fit over each other
Bryan Saint is so talented, I admire him so much
Absolutely killer routine. 🔥🔥🔥 My favorite performance this season!!!
The original Rubik's king. You paved the way for this act.
Isn't this actually one of your methods?
I thought the same thing about the patter!!!! It was perfect to take a 2 seconds trick into a 6 minute performance!!
Glad that was the first thing they noted too ❤😊
I came to the decision that this is my favorite performance on Fool Us, and then Penn even said it was the best patter he's seen. Bravo. I don't think I've ever laughed that much during a trick. The thought of Bryan just having a plethora of cubes in his clothes cracked me up.
Great job Brian!
💥BOOM!!!💥™
He told you the truth throughout the whole performance: he never once switched cubes. The nice part of the trick (other than the effortless quick solve) is where props went. My guess is the table, as thin as it is, has an open slit at the back.
Congrats! Well deserved.
That pure innocence in that laugh❤
I love the bit at the end where Teller is looking at the table shaking his head in a what the heck way. Did Teller figure it out at that moment, or remain stumped?
Looks like he's studying it, but from that angle I can't imagine that whatever the trick was would be visible anyway. If it was, the guy probably would have not left the table out to be examined like that.
Perhaps he is thinking why they didn't ask him if they can examine the table.
I think Teller did figure it out. But it wasn't the table. I believe I figured it out, but I really don't want to say explicitly here. But basically, slowing it down at 4:35 shows one part. (Which is damn impressive even if you know *logically* how it's happening. To use Penn's words. Because it's amazing sleight of hand I'd be hard pressed to produce another example.) And at the reveal, he really isn't "switching cubes" something else is happening. Basically, it's to do withe cube and his power of suggestion.
@@NicNico bro stop it you have no idea lmao. You don't want to say because people would point out the holes.
@@NicNicohe was holding multiple cubes
Good job, hoping you will do a behind the scenes video of this one too!
Great act! At 40 years old, I taught myself how to solve a Rubik's Cube and also taught my teenage son. We both have speed cubes for fun now. I think I know the method, but that is because I watch a lot of Cubers on UA-cam.
I love physics, science in general, biology, neurology, you name it, which is why I love magic. It encompasses the best of the former. Then you add such an incredible script and it just can't get any better.
He's not switching cubes, just solving them. If a champion can solve a real random cube in seconds, this man can solve a few prepared ones even using just one hand. Well, I guess there really are some switching at some point but yeah, he's solving cubes.
"Beautiful performance" - I couldn't agree more. It's not the trick that got me hooked, but the way he presented it.
Quite possibly the world's best magic trick. The cube with all green squares got me.
Twice during the performance I had my mouth wide open. Wow. Amazing trick. Thank you
We can see Teller saying "that was fabulous" and I couldn't agree more.
I have to say, your routine, I was also saying, "This guy's patter is amazingly smooth" so it's only right that Penn called it out. Amazing routine. I'm adding this to my short list of "conundrum" routines. Fooled me. You have bright future in magic not only if you invented this but just off of your stage presence. I look forward to seeing more of your routines.
impressive trick, very impressive "sleight of cube",
every cube he held has the same pattern though, he disguises it by using the different colors
but look for a face with a 2x2 of 1 color, on top is a 2x1 of another color, next to it another 2x1 and in the corner a single color
with some practice this would make the cube in an easy state for a 1 hand solve since it only needs 2 rotations
It's obvious he's speed solving cubes at various points, what isn't clear is how he managed to hide at least two out of three cubes during the performance. It can't be shells, since we see every cube being turned at some point, and shells obviously can't turn.
yes, i think exactly the same as penn and teller, it was a beautifully script and buiult act, i trully enjoyed every second of it and i am normally not a fan of rubics cube act. that was a killer routine and you deserve that trophy big time. good Job!!!!!
Dude! I thought it was just eyerolling rambling.... then the prestige. WOW. Impressed - well done.
He was so shocked that he looked so disappointed at the result lmao
Well. Done. Bryan. 👏👏👏
Great trick. Well done 👍
So great ! Keep going champ
What was great? It was a wound cube.
at 5:07 you can see the cube changing colors from white to blue and back to white just s he is placing the cube behind the green screen. That is not a regular cube. The rest is just him standing behind the green screen and placing the extra cubes inside his jacket.
I'm a keen magic fan, you fooled me too. Congats! 👏
Your presentation was ted talk tier ❤
Teller checking out the table at the end. He really has no idea what I'm the world just happened.
Well done Bryan. I was hoping for a display of pyramid-shaped or 8X8 cubes in the reveal, but an empty table also works fine...
That ending made me sit up. Wow didn't see that coming.
I love the one guy not moving in the center of the audience with just a fixed expression. I also wonder if there was something about the table Teller was looking at which hid something.
At least two of the solves could have been done one handed in a second as they were only 3 moves from being solved. And when he was doing some of the scrambling in the open you could tell he knows the fast flick methods of speed cube solving. I could also hear a cube turning when he held it behind his jacket (it sounded like 3 fast moves).
However I suspect he was also doing swaps between his coat and the table at points and he has at least 2 hidden on him…although probably more.
The green cube is likely just a rigged prop, and could have also been stand in for a solved cube as well (it’s not too hard to make a mechanical cube that doesn’t function and can change between two color sets).
One thing that I don’t know is if these are fully legit cubes, or possible the MAGIKUBE 1.0 or 2.0. They can also be modified GO Cubes or similar which are motorized self scrambling and unscrambling cubes designed for speed cube competition training. Unfortunately just three of the latter two options would make the trick extremely easy, so some part of me is hoping he just practiced solving specific moves really quickly.
