Magician reacts to Mark Shortland 2011 performing a hilarious magic trick routine involving what appears to be good luck for Penn and Teller on their show Penn & Teller Fool Us 2011. Mark Shortland is a British magician who performs a funny magic tricks routine involving smashing cell phones randomly, relying on his good luck to come out on top, plus a little mentalism and sleight of hand mixed in for good measure. 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 1 2011 s01e03. Were you watching when the first season began? I'm going back and reacting to each and every episode... come along with me for the journey! :)

1) Interesting, why is that?
2) Fooled me but that's not hard.
3) Loved your trick. I wish I knew how to do it for my nephew. He's 5 so I might be able to fool him lol. I loved your video about magic books - which book would you recommend for little tricks like these?
4) Quarantine affects me very little but it is weird. I am an environmentalist so I'm happy something has triggered collective action so we can maybe realise how much we can do about biodiversity and climate change with the same level of seriousness.
5) looking forward to it! :)
@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 Hey Colm thanks for the detailed reply haha! 1) I can't really say, but it's just not something I would be able to change. 3) Awesome, glad you liked it! I was considering to make a tutorial for it on my Patreon... but if you wanna learn it the way I did, then it's in one of those books from my video: The Amateur Magician's handbook. No pictures, just text to understand what to do. So it requires a little work. Probably that big floppy color book I showed by Joshua Jay would be a good place to learn some fun magic tricks to show your nephew. Also I have some magic tutorials... if you go to my YT homepage I made playlist of the tutorials I have created... so the simple rubber band trick is one you could learn quickly. 4) Yeah! I heard that the sky around Los Angeles got a little cleared up from less people being out and about haha... I wish we could reduce emissions more and have better air quality in cities like these. The air quality where I am now in Kiev is not the best. 5) Great!! :)
@@JasonParkerMagic Thank you for replying!! 1) I don't mind, I genuinely find your face puts me in an instant good mood and I watch the show before your videos anyway. 3) Thanks I will get that book. I have been trying to learn one of your shuffles and card trick but not yet ready to do it for him.
Delighted you're doing a retrospective on fool us. Look forward to the next one.
@@JasonParkerMagic Hey! The effect is actually called "Linking Cigarette" and the creator is the legend - "Akira Fuji" .
Thanks!
@@JasonParkerMagic Honestly, I think it's better for your face to be front-and-center. Putting your face in the corner shifts the dial a little bit too far from "fair use" to "copyright violation," since it makes your channel a viable substitute for watching the show.
I was watching this video and the LSD really kicked in a couple of times.
hahaha... ;)
@@JasonParkerMagic indeed. What was that about? :-o Not sure I like it, to be candid. Definitely don't understand the point.
@@JasonParkerMagic any reply for David ? what was the point of the LSD ?
lol fr
Kalif well, and to be clear, I'm talking about the editing circa 8:45. I'm not against people using LSD if they want to. Or even doing "trippy" video effects just for the fun of it. It just seems out of place here. I don't really care much, just... curious.
This is one of the most entertaining acts on Fool Us ever.
It is sad that Penn & Teller didn't give Mark Shortland any praise for his act. Penn went straight for the solution.
I felt that too. Almost feels like thherer is friction between Penn and host and it is bleeding over?
@@notmee2388 lol what? No. Penn and Jonathan go back a very long way - it was on his show that P&T returned to TV in the UK after some 14 years away. They've guested on another show of his as well. They have a funny dynamic where they make jokes at the other's expense but it's definitely all in good fun. This is just Season 1, and they were more committed to the fool or not fool concept and so spend less time gushing about the performance.
In our childhood days we used to do that matchstick trick 😅
5:42 He definitely touched and switched the die after seeing what number Jonathan stick his phone's envelope on. The question now is what mechanism is used to make sure 1 number doesn't show up ever in a die? Anyone know such a die?
EDIT: someone at the comment section suggested that maybe the die doesn't have the number 1 and perhaps has 2 number 6 instead. It's opposite of each other so it won't accidentally flash both numbers to the camera. It's also encased in the box so it's harder to inspect. So he probably have 6 dice ready, each with one number missing.
There are dies whose center of mass is closer to one side hence reducing the likelyhood of that side appearing. alternatively, it can just have 2 6s (ie 2 of the opposite side that you don't want. I think I had seen somewhere a video of someone tampering with a die by heating it up in an oven or microwave or something. It then looks slightly off shape though. I think it's better to just use different materials to disguise the die better.
Only way I see that he could be certain that the dice doesn't fall on the wrong side would be to have a small magnet inside, close to the side he doesn't want, and the surface of the box would be magnetized the same as the magnet in the dice so that it repels the dice whenever it's about to fall on the wrong side and forces it to fall on one of the other 5 sides.
@@FausseFugue Think about it, if you remove one number from a die and replace it with a number opposite of it, you can be sure that no two numbers will shown at the same time from one side and that one number will never show up. If you know you don't want no.1 to show up, you just replace the die with two sixes (opposite of each other) and no number one. You don't need magnet or anything like that. The only problem with this method is of course if you inspect the die, you will see the gimmick. And he did try to not let them inspect the die.
@@xdragon2k Yeah... I was trying to find something more complicated than the classic "remove a number" because I thought it was impossible that someone would end up on Penn & Teller by simply using a dice with a number missing, but after watching the video again, I couldn't see a 1 on the dice anywhere in the video... That's pretty disappointing.
@@FausseFugue Being there is not that hard. Fooling them is.
I feel like Penn and Teller come REALLY close to blatantly revealing the tricks in Season 1. They seem to do a much better job speaking in code in later seasons.
Yes, they didn't try the code language at first, did they?
You fooled me, you get the trophy!
5:43 When he took the dice back and put it in the box, he palmed the one Jonathan had and switched it out. The editing tried to hide it, but it looks weird when he does it.
He was really chasing that die to get it into the box
He must've. However, where did the real die go afterwards. That's the puzzling thing left to me.
@@Ulkomaalainen he just palmed it long enough to get rid of it.
He looked and reached under the table to get the clear box. First time watching , I sensed a switch when he threw the die in the box. (It also explains why he needed the clear box rather than just having Jonathan throw the die-it gives him an excuse to reach under the table). He also shuffled the envelope around before getting the box. Perhaps the 5 other phones are just shells, so he can tell by the weight of the envelopes which is the real phone).
I don't know why we haven't seen more of Mark. He certainly has the personality to carry a performance.
He was doing cruise ships a few years ago this trick was in the act
He was on BGT 2022 I think
I don't think HE got foot and mouth. I think he meant that when the UK foot amd mouth struck it stopped him being able to teach as it affected alot of outdoor activities. Good trick. 👍
Thanks Adam! :)
Penn and tellers’s deliberation is much longer in real life. I think he said on his penn’s Sunday school podcast they talk for about 5 minutes or so
ahhhhh!! Very good to know. Thanks for sharing. I'd love to know what all they say on Sunday school podcast... but at this rate I'm so far behind and it would take forever to catch up. So I appreciate you taking the time to comment about this! :)
Jason Parker they mainly talk about random things, stories performing at shows, public speaking and stuff. They’d sometime bring guests such as handsome jack and Piff the magic dragon on to talk. I just listened to a episode where they talked about their master class, pretty neat stuff. But there isn’t really a set format, they just talk about things that come up. It’s great!
I've been using Mark's jokes as my "go to" jokes ever since this season aired lol. They were cute.
I love the two fish in a tank joke!
I have DEFINITELY given my kitties human names.
Marx (as in Groucho Marx),Aslan George,Gracie,Maggie, & Jack (Captain Jack Sparrow)
As for the trick, I think the die (singular of dice) was "loaded " and knowing that people read left to right, when the magician spanned out the envelopes the first one to the host's left was number 1. I believe that envelope was mentally suggested as the one to be number 1. I don't know any magic tricks and only watched this once, but that's my thought on how it was done.
Btw. I LOVE the fables at the end! I have been watching your videos for about 2 months now and binged watched several in a row! Love it!
I'm not sure what you are going for with the weird/creepy edits, but I'm not a fan. Like your channel otherwise though. :)
A very well done bit. As soon as he brought out the envelopes and pointed out the "random" written on them, I figured that would be used to distinguish them. A good way to lampshade his hiding the markings in plain sight, though. The glance back was very natural as well, giving him Ross's phone's eventual location. And, indeed, I didn't see him do the swap but he got out the dice-throwing box after the envelopes had been labelled and the die went through his hands, so I assume he had different dice with different numbers missing behind the table where he took the box from and swapped the die.
Smooth and entertaining, but I suspect not fooling. (The match trick was somewhat more so.)
This seems like exactly it. Looking carefully when the envelopes are laid out on the table, one can spot subtle differences in the handwriting. Knowing what to look for, he can identify which envelope is empty at a quick glance, then track which number that particular envelope gets, then select the appropriate trick die, and there it is.
Hello,
I am rather new to your channel and I do enjoy your videos so far.
Sorry that's my first comment, but could you not add effects like in 12:36.
Its making me feel weird...
Thanks! :D
6:43 - If you’re entertained by Jonathan Ross, you must be like mush-mouthed hams.
It is a Die not Dice.
English is not my 1st language.
I am fun at parties.
Aesop: take the advice of an experienced elder: newbies are always given liberties that become tiresome over time
Alice is nice. But holy fack Jonathan Ross so smooth
Okay, WHAT is going on with the UA-cam Poopery in this video?
It reminds me of roxy ytp
Man, Penn really destroys the tricks in the first season lol
easy, the magician shakes the envelopes to recognize the real cellphone (the only one which is kinda heavy) the plastic phones are weighing way less. so he knows in which envelope the real cellphone is and he picks the bos that hasnt the number in it. There are 6 boxes under the table...
Now this was genuinely funny! Mark gets my vote!
Yes sir Jonathan Ross is one of our national treasures 🇬🇧
Hey Jason, thanks for a nice vid :) To me, it got fishy when he took the die from Jonathan, after giving it to him to "keep". Anyway, it was fun.
Thank YOU Matko for the nice comment :)
The idea of him having different dice in his pocket didn’t occur to me until you said it, but that makes a lot of sense. Good analysis and good act.
I thought his act was hysterical. He is definitely the kind of magician I'd want to see because he's so much fun and wild. There are two possibilities. The first is that once he identified the envelope (because he does look back when Jonathan is putting his phone in the extra) he palmed the correct dice for the trick to work (or maybe he got lucky and the one Jonathan's phone was in corresponded with the one sitting on the table). The second is that he got a box out AFTER everything else was done so he could have 6 boxes with different magnets that force a different number to be rejected each spin. But however he did it, there's no question that Jonathan couldn't roll whatever number his phone was actually in.
It's funny because there are a couple good shots of the envelopes and I couldn't spot any differences, but there must have been one that was obvious to him since it would be a HUGE mistake if he accidentally destroyed someone's smart phone. So it has to be a 100% chance of always working. I thought it was a shame that Penn insisted on proving how the trick was done. I'm much happier with the way they do it now. It basically ruins that trick forever and it was really entertaining.
When you learn a new Trick, like the one with the matches, you have to use your HEAD and STICK to to learning. You have to PRESS yourself hard and don’t MOVE OUT OF YOUR chosen PATH until you achieve your goal. Am I right?
It's probably been edited out of the original, but it's really odd that they never roll a number that's gone already: after 4 envelopes have been discarded, the chances of getting a roll with one of the two remaining is only 1 in 3. If they really didn't, then that is an awesomely dodgy die.
Actually when there are 2 envelopes remaining... you see Ross rolling it over and over to get either a 1 or a 5. :)
@@JasonParkerMagic Ah! I was judging from your reaction video. So all good (ish) there. I was thinking about a Royal Institution (RI) video with Matt Parker (aka Standupmaths - also has some nice maths-based card tricks, if you're interested (you covered a similar one from FU Series 1 with cards in positions something and 43 (it's amazing what lockdown erases from your memory)) who admits that what looked like a total miracle was the studio audience having seen it fail umpteen times.
This definitely fooled me before you and Penn talked about it, but now that I know it makes total sense, and it was a great performance!
I like this much more than impaling spectators hand o na spike.
Sweet performance
I think he said "foot in mouth" disease. Maybe he said something stupid and got fired? Not clear what he meant, but I don't think he actually got a disease.
Foot and mouth was a disease of cattle and (if I remember rightly) easily spread. So people were banned from the countryside, so anyone whose job relied on being outside were in a lot of trouble.
@@davidgould9431 Oh. Well that's ironic isn't it?
@@davidandrewthomas If your OP was an actual joke (I can see that), then a) haha and b) I'm sorry for having taken it seriously. It's just that a number of posters apparently weren't actually aware of the situation over here and it's hard to tell who's who.
@@davidgould9431 No, it wasn't. I'm saying, I'm suffering now from foot-in-mouth, since I was just wrong. Heh sorry for confusion. Thanks for the correction. :)
@@davidandrewthomas No sweat!
He should have switched the dice sometime again at the end
My observations while watching:
1) A lot of people have foot in mouth disease, but it doesn't stop them from following their dreams. (Hehe I couldn't resist)
2) No Johnathan, don't leave THAT folder on top! (Yes, I said that before I saw Johnathan's phone being used) But a good act, I enjoyed it, and it fooled me because I don't delve a lot into magic. Good job on your trick Jason, I thought it looked good.
3) For comedy magic on Penn and Teller in general, have you noticed that the funnier the magician is, the less likely Penn and Teller seem to be fooled? I'm not sure why that is.
4) People have been saying that we're likely to go into a new wave/strain of Corona this fall, with chance of another lockdown. In addition to that, I also hope what I've been hearing elsewhere isn't true, that we won't have Corona cases continuing through 2022 and having to keep social distancing until then, because that would deal major havoc to our economies, much more than it already has.
you talk about how we should be more optimistic but you are the most optimistic and positive person I have ever seen. You make me feel happy because you Are genuinely a happy guy. Rare in this horrible world. You are starting to have an effect on me making me start appreciating life. You are the best man. I love your videos and your outlook on life.
What was with the messed up editing that happened where things were all trippy?
Hmmm... not sure what you're talking about..... 😅
@@JasonParkerMagic why deny the weird edits?
The dice does not roll on 6…. The last envelope they opened was without rolling the dice…. So all the numbers came out before except six…JONATHANS PHONE WAS PLACED LAST, IN THE SIXT ENVELOPE…. ¿
With the matchsticks, you must keep the middle, ring, and pinky fingers of both hands splayed wide and sticking out straight to make it deceptive.
I know you said you just learned it and this is an old video but I had to say that. You’re a very good magician so I know you’ll get it.
Please, if you could, include a Canadian (.ca) amazon affiliate link. Even if it's a generic one so that I may pay something forward for your efforts.
I think the moral of the story is similar to what you recalled in a work environment; That it is wise to learn the lay of the land above making assumptions.
On second thought, it seems to be more on the point of balance; an old, tired, nuisance vs new, energized, joyous..
An interesting tale and a multifaceted one at that.
He hung up his "puddle." LOL
3:15 Oops, I guess the British are no better at speaking English than we are. It's a die, dice is plural.
4:35 I'm not sure what could be happening since Jonathan is handling the envelopes, unless he is colluding with the magician.
Okay, it seems a little suspicious that a different number comes up each time, unless they edited out the repeats to keep the act moving.
As soon as he has any markings on the envelopes, it is simple to know exactly which envelope holds Jonathan's phone. In fact, it would have been more impressive if he had turned his back while Jonathan put the numbered stickers on the envelopes, since he could recognize the target envelope, and see the number on it.
All he has to do is make sure number one never shows up in the roll, and the fact that he would not let Penn handle the die proves it is rigged.
Good work Jason, you figured it out.
I feel like Fool Us Producers had to replace Jonathan Ross because he was TOO Good! He's so funny.. He basically stole the show every time with his jokes
Wow that's a good one. Very clever. Brings new meanings to the terms "force" and "loaded dice". My theory is attractive but if I spelled it out, I might get some opposition. 😉
I don't think, P&T really got the trick. They found one method, but the force is a bit tougher. I thought he might have forced the number sticker, but Jonathan went straight to the "1" and sticked it to just an envelope. Nowadays they have to proof a bit more, and I think it's fairer now than it was in the first season.
I've just discovered your channel. I know this is an old vid, so you may never read this. I saw another magician commenting on his own performance, and he stated that Penn & Teller take a lot longer than what we see. He said that he was talking to Allison, current host, for 5 - 10 minutes.
I agree with you with your analysis. There is obviously some small difference in the envelopes, probably the way he wrote random on them. If you look carefully, there are slight differences in the letters in Random. He took a quick look at the envelopes and knew which one was empty, so when Jonathan put his phone in it, he knew exactly which envelope it was, so he knew the number. I'm not sure how he rigged the rolls. My best guess is that he switched out the die for another one that did not have a one on it. Unfortunately, your video is so small that it is nearly impossible to see what he is doing, and I cannot freeze the video and look at it one frame at a time.
I hate your random acid from hell editing you place in these videos. Scares me for a second every time.
I don't think it's just the dice, but actually the shaker.. He felt ok for Penn to look at the dice but very against him opening the shaker... Plus it feels really weird how the dice spins at 7:56
Switch the die, and if you do NOT want to have number 1 then there is a magnet under number 6 (avoid number 2 and a magnet under 5 and so on). In the bottom there is a flat magnet and the pole on the magnet in the die matches the pole in the bottom so the die will never land magnet to magnet since they repel each other.
And since a die bounces around (not how he made Jonathan shake forcefully) you will never notice that it do not want to land on a number.
And the other part: Yes, the R is written differently so he know where it is and then picks the appropriate die from a stack.
So simple and still so effect full.
Jonathan ross is an entertaining guy jason.. sometimes he can be annoying..but hes a nice guy..he has his own interview type show.. the Jonathan ross show.. were he interviews celebs ect.. give that a watch.. he also is regularly on shows like panel shows.. 8 out of ten cats does countdown and QI.. so yeah.. big personality here..in the uk.. anyway.. as always..great video.. i liked this laf.. his care free persona made me chuckle more than once..and while i actually love acts who make me sad (ha) i love the comedic ones more.. balance 😁
Look at each one of the envelopes 3:31, 3:38, 3:55, 4:09, 4:21 ...... Notice a slight difference in the letters. Each envelope is every so slightly different, but purposefully different. When Jonathan has the leftover envelope he turns around @ 4:39 and can either see Jonathans select envelope or which ones are not Jonathans...When Jonathan randomly places the sticker he already knows the envelope with his phone, then palms that dice and he's off to the race with the dice swap. Good trick!
Great act, great performance!
QUESTION : Fine, the "1" was missing, but how do you get all the rest, never repeated?
Look at 8:07, he rolls multiple times to get a five.
They showed some, but probably edited out the other duplicate rolls
Quarantine sucks. But good for magicians to learn new magic.
Penn & Teller have much longer than 30 seconds to think of a solution! Usually they take between 5-10 minutes but they can take a bit longer at times.
All the phones are the same size and shape,if you look and jonathans,it,s twice to 3 times the size,every time the magician touches the bag,he can ID the phone,due to size ,shape,thickness,thus he can smash or put it aside with a trick of I found it.
Ross is such a better host than that American Pie chick, no offense. Ross tells jokes, goes along with the tricks/jokes, and make fun of P&T.
Pen and Teller actually have 10-15 minutes to think they just cut it out of the show for time
how did the dice roll six consecutively different numbers that ranged from 1 to 6. I with you jason. i think there was some sort of control unit in the box.
Man... Jonathan Ross was such a great host. Quick of mind and humor. Much better than Alisson.
After the guy put the stickers on, he goes and touches all the bag to try to press the stickers down on the bags, while he’s doing that he can feel the phones. You can feel the difference between an IPhone vs the old Nokia phones. Also he’s also moving the numbers on the bags so that the right bag has the number needed to get selected by the loaded dice.
yeah jonathan ross is awesome.. dont rlly like allyson that much..
What about the weight of the fake phones.... Maybe they weigh a lo less than a real one? That would be how he identifies which envelope is which. Then, perhaps he has multiple boxes beneath the table, and he selects for use the one which knows will never show the number of the envelope with the real phone?
Having watched the eggs over Alyson's head last night, it's the same trick but much better presentation on this one.
Just came back to an old video to like and comment. Maybe it will help Jason out. Hope you are well, Jason.
put rich hosts phone in danger is the only acceptable danger allowed.
So the die didn't have the number 1 and he probably had six of them missing numbers 1 through 6
This is one I've been waiting for. It's easy to figure out, but it's so entertaining, especially the way he and Jonathon go back and forth. You are right in how he knew which envelope it was. He loaded and palmed the correct die when he went to grab the box under the table and when Jonathon handed him the original, he dropped in the trick die.
As far as Jonathon as a host, he did a fantastic job. I feel he's the reason a lot of people don't like Allison as a host because while she does a fine enough job, he's a hard act to follow.
great point about the hosts! I wouldn't want to follow after Jonathan either! :)
"Here, you do that one, Jonathan." 😂🤣😅😆😎🇺🇲🇬🇧
I'm glad the newer videos don't have the weird glitchy effects randomly throughout. It's distracting.
but glad AESOP Fables are still around
Are those lsd glitches deliberate or are they errors?
It would be wiser to replace the dice used at the end of his show because Penn often examines items used by magicians 😉
First I thought he is making that face just to make it funny but unfortunately he really didn't want them to look at the die
I knew what was going on before Penn spoke. I'm a little saddened that he made zero attempt to use code at all.
In 2 or 3 shots, we can see die rolling or stoped with numbers. I couldn't see number 1 on it
I can't like the perfect 666 count. But I like you and your channel
You say "optimistic", I say "delusional". Potato, potato...
Each of the envelopes were different.i noticed that he changed something about the letter on each envelope
I really enjoyed his performance. I was fooled in the sense that I was thinking "he must have used a trick die, but how did he know how to trick it, and how did he know which envelope to save?"
A couple of observations after close inspection of the video:
5:35 - Lovely foreshadowing with the comment "Smashing", and you can see that when he randomly shuffled them up, he isolated the one with Jonathan's phone, presumably to reduce his chances of remembering things wrong.
6:06 if you pause it, (also compare to 5:26, but the stickers aren't there yet so harder for me to describe) you can see that:
#3, R - the top doesn't meet up, it's the only one that has a gap there.
#4, A - has a long crossbar
#6, N - has a back flick at the top
#1, D - the top doesn't meet up, similar to the r on 3.
#2, O - has a little flick at the top where the pen went too far around the circle
#5, M - at 4:10 you can see the envelope has a tick at the end of the M, which will later be #5 but covered by the other envelopes.
They're all such natural marks that exist in actual writing that you don't even notice them, but they are definitely not RANDOM - he will have taken great care to write this right.
He's very adept at the sleight of hand when he switches the dice - you only ever see one die at a time, but it's obvious that he's done something, because he's holding his hand in a slightly unnatural way in order to cup the second die.
:O
Dont kniw why but I enjoy watching the show in this format much better than the show.
I thought a horseshoe was the universal symbol for luck 🤔
Listen carefully, he said "foot in mouth disease" as in putting your foot in your mouth when you say something inappropriate. It's a joke.
3:20 BTW, it's a die, dice is plural. One die, two or more dice.
I’m 8:51 in and here’s my thoughts.... The dice didn’t have a 1 on it and he had marked envelopes.... ABRA CADABRA!!! 😂🤣
That's genius. That will avoid any accident that any weighed or magnetized die will have.
R a n d o m = 6 letters, a die.

*LOVED* THAT MATCH TRICK FANTASTIC 👏 Sometimes the simplest are the best
Glad you liked it!
Loved the psychedelic shit you throw in
haha I'm glad someone appreciates it... that actually takes a good deal of time for something so brief! :) I mean.... what are you talking about?? ;)
@@JasonParkerMagic 😉 nothing...
Thanks Jason again, the commentary + your trick was very entertaining. But I wouldn't blame the parrot, he/she was told to run the house.
Glad you enjoyed! and thanks for watching :) I won't blame the parrot, promise ;)
It is entertaining, magician scam artist, con men, deceivers, entertainers.
Anyone else notice that penn and teller switch seats
When using one, it's called a Die, dice is plural.
oh i thought i heard foot and mouth disease... i was so confused
Looked like the way it rolled in the box it limited the roll of the dice
Always luv Mark, I have his book test “The Gallows” which is hilarious and fooling. Fun review thanks❣️
Awesome! Thank you!
Honestly, I think you're so worried about flashing, that you cover up the magic.
7:56 if you slow it down, you can see that the die has 6 on opposite sides.
That trick (of the start) was pretty lame...
Why did you move from the United States Jason what is your Major work I am a retired truck driver I am 67 I love Magic
Well the story of why is rather long.... I would like to make a video about it. What should the title of that video be? That is literally what stops me from making it... can't think of a good title for it 😆 Basically something along the lines of..... thinking about life is short.... trying to be my own boss.... seeing new parts of the world.... and then deciding to stay in Europe to focus solely on this UA-cam channel :) In university I studied computer science.... so I was a programmer before I quit my job and etc... :) Glad to have you here Ken! And glad you enjoy magic as well! :)
Love this trick! Great reaction.
I’m going to keep requesting ask wind on fool us Christmas special.
haha... I think I probably won't react to that one. I didn't see what good commentary I would be able to add on it. But thanks for your kind words! :)
Jason Parker okay! Sounds good, I appreciate the response 🤙🏼
Most of you tune out line was the funniest thing in this video🤣
Don't do those kids tricks again 😂😂
The die he chose doesn’t have number 1 so he made sure that Jonathan will stick number 1 on his envelope. This is why he recognized the envelope either by touch (cuz other phones were old and bulky not iPhone) or by how he wrote Random on it. And he did mix the envelopes again so he can push the target envelope toward the left side where Johnathan will choose to stick number 1 because this is naturally to start with 1 from left to right
