I saw Joel perform this act at Lake Tahoe last year and whether he fooled Penn and Teller or not, it's a really neat trick on television and at the live performance! Cool to find this clip of him here.
That's the way it's done: You do a nice bit, you get some fame, and when Penn drops the hints you politely smile, thank them for the chance to perform, and graciously leave the stage.
You may not have fooled them but I sure love this act...done so well that and with such character that I cannot help but to think people would feel very comfortable with you immediately.
Didn't give a single detail on how he got the ring into the ball, or the ball into the sealed container...the ring disappearing wasn't all that interesting. How'd he do that?
Penn and Teller did mention the bag and the Eleven dollar bill principle, except he used the ring, so they did say it in code that they know how the trick is done.
They say the name of the trick, I think it was the Bill and the Lemon or something. They'd rather just say that to show they know what it is without giving away all the secrets. You can just look up the trick to see how it works
Wait, they know how he vanished the ring, but they didn't say anything about how he got it in the ball or the ball in the can or.. Or did they (secretly)?
The ball got in through the bottom, because he asked her to check the top of the tube. Obviously, there is a hole in the tennis ball that allows him to put the ring in. Something was in that tennis ball and then the ring came out. So either he went to a tennis ball factory and asked them there to make something that sounds like a ring, and did slight of hand with that object and the ring, of he just stuffed the ring into the ball. The bag, handkerchief and racket cover for the slight of hand.
Well, I've watched a lot of magicians including Siegfried and Roy making an elephant disappear four feet in front of me . You are very good, and entertaining. So, I'll be honest, I could see how you did it, but it was a great performance and most people won't. Good show.
Alyson is a perfect assistant/straight man (I know, woman) for the show. Her expressions are so good, emphasizing every part of the trick. And the trick is a good one, even though it didn't fool Penn&Teller. Many parts, following the tennis theme. Definitely entertaining!
She wears the same dress in a given season so that the show can put together several different performances filmed on different dates to make each 'show'. This makes it consistent within a season.
"Nooo way, it couldn't be.. could it? I mean maybe, probably.. it is my job, right?"
Best line of the entire act.
The finger print part was hilarious.
the smelling part was too lol
"I just needed the fingerprints. Thanks" x'D
I thought a quarter was going to come out of the tennis ball. Thought he was going to say "oh thats not supposed to happen"
would've been funnier if the thing in the ball was actually another quarter XD
Exactly! This is what I actually thought!
And the ring was back on her fingers
Less dramatic tho
Bruh ur right
That's exactly what I thought he was going to do...one more laugh before he presented her with the ring
Alyson: "Do you do any other tricks with your balls?"
LOL
4:08 okay can we please talk about how great of a tennis ball hitting sound that was lol
This guy was hilarious and performed a great trick, props to him
It's like I'm watching Barney fools with Lily
Great Job Joel!!

I was not ready for this HIMYM reunion!
I’m I the only man watching this for Alison Hannigan 👍
"That wasn't part of the trick I just wanted your signature"
Everyone sees this coming every time.
Wonderful energy! Loved the show
Having the ring seem to go flying was a great touch
I can't believe he walked out on stage and didn't say "It's gonna be legen-wait for it!"
dary!
This has been in my suggested for sooo long. Finally decided to watch it.
What an absolutely gorgeous and lovable man. Such charisma!
Anyone else binge watching for us with pen and teller?
Allyson Hannigon is too lovely
That's the way it's done: You do a nice bit, you get some fame, and when Penn drops the hints you politely smile, thank them for the chance to perform, and graciously leave the stage.
This guys one of my favorites
I disagree, the best costume on the show goes to Piff the Magic Dragon
I was going to comment this. Piff is the greatest act ever.
That's not a costume... He's a real dragon. He said so and everything.
I agree with your disagreement.
Where are Piff and Piffles!?
Yeah piff doesn't wear a costume
If there was a quarter in the tennis ball I would have died laughing.
Very cool....thanks
This trick was great! Good banter too.
I freaking love her dress!
Really enjoyed the trick bro. Well done
Just saw this guy at the loft theater in tahoe, nv. Great job joel!
You may not have fooled them but I sure love this act...done so well that and with such character that I cannot help but to think people would feel very comfortable with you immediately.
My brother lives in sd ! And he is a magic man ! Dude you killed it in my books ! What a great predation
I really enjoyed your presentation! Congratulations
"I grew up in the hood, I grew up in La Jolla"
That's rich, that one really got me!
He put the blue jacket back on just to relate to " how I met your mother " .
great performance
I was worried he screwed up the ring flight and Allison was kinda pissed about that till the end lol
I wish his response to Allison telling him he looked familiar was to say that some people think he looks legendary.
I keep waiting for Alyson Hannigan to say "This one time at band camp..."
“The one where Barney learns Magic”
im glad barney picked up magic and is reunited with lily
Didn't give a single detail on how he got the ring into the ball, or the ball into the sealed container...the ring disappearing wasn't all that interesting. How'd he do that?
ball and container were props
Penn and Teller did mention the bag and the Eleven dollar bill principle, except he used the ring, so they did say it in code that they know how the trick is done.
"It's always useful to have a big bag on stage, it covers a lot of sins"
They say the name of the trick, I think it was the Bill and the Lemon or something. They'd rather just say that to show they know what it is without giving away all the secrets. You can just look up the trick to see how it works
he said it was a variation on the "dollar bill in the lemon" trick. i guess that was plenty. :)
i love alyson
"hold it up a little lower..." LOL; i loved seeing the natural confusion after that.
incidentally... 1:43 that's weird
Good job, really impressive.
Wow this is great! Awesome magic!
He came to my school to perform magic and I got a signed card from him! 😀
Wait, they know how he vanished the ring, but they didn't say anything about how he got it in the ball or the ball in the can or.. Or did they (secretly)?
The bill in a lemon trick. Check that out. Also rewatch the way he handled the ball when he reached in the bag
The ball got in through the bottom, because he asked her to check the top of the tube. Obviously, there is a hole in the tennis ball that allows him to put the ring in. Something was in that tennis ball and then the ring came out. So either he went to a tennis ball factory and asked them there to make something that sounds like a ring, and did slight of hand with that object and the ring, of he just stuffed the ring into the ball. The bag, handkerchief and racket cover for the slight of hand.
"Having a big bag on stage lets you hide a lot of sins", heheh.
Love your magic. I saw your show in LA! Very entertaining!
guy got the Neil Patrick vibe, I actually thought I'm watching an episode of How I Met Your Mother 😁
Haha I love the Patriots Joke!!
Neil Patrick Harris is a magician.
Was confused cuz Joel Ward is also a hockey player.
And me
Yes, also a soccer player in Europe.
How did it get in the ball???
Wow, to have the balls to tell Alyson Hannigan to smell them on stage.
5:20 is that barney?
Well, I've watched a lot of magicians including Siegfried and Roy making an elephant disappear four feet in front of me
. You are very good, and entertaining. So, I'll be honest, I could see how you did it, but it was a great performance and most people won't. Good show.
I can't believe I'm the only one to say it... but he actually looks very spiffy in those shorts.
Is this an episode of fool us or how I met your mother? I'm having a hard time figuring out.
How I fooled your mother?
How I fooled your Mother using American pie
Ok, how the heck did that ring get in the tenis ball???
Oh wow he made the tennis ball hitting sound with his mouth
Now we need the actual Neil Patrick Harris on Fool Us
Alyson is a perfect assistant/straight man (I know, woman) for the show. Her expressions are so good, emphasizing every part of the trick.
And the trick is a good one, even though it didn't fool Penn&Teller. Many parts, following the tennis theme. Definitely entertaining!
Kids.. that one time your uncle Barney and your aunt Lily went crazy enough and had their own magic show.
Amazing. I have no idea how you did that!
My name is ward
She should've said "You son of a bitch" when he took the fingerprints.
"The hood of La Jolla"
Hilarious. La Jolla is one of the richest areas in the US
Dat tennis ball vanish was pretty good though.
what about the fuckin tennis ball to confetti? best use of that I have seen!
Love this guy hahahahah teally my type of humor
LOL, It actually didn't occur that you look like NPH until she made that comment. Now I can't unsee it. Great performance. Very funny.
great presentation and trick man!
Hi Joel! You didn't fool me, either, but you were VERY good and funny as hell. Thank you for posting this.
Finally a GREAT hairdo for Allison. Perfect fit.
Great fun guy & magic act
"That'll be great."
Isn't that the guy from How I Met Your Mother?
watch to just to see Allison and a sweatband. Worth it kind of...
Haha Barney and lily! Awesome
Tennis is great! Recently moved to Los Angeles CA and would love the opportunity to see you live!
This guy is pretty awesome
how the hell he do that unbelievable
great job. . keep it up
The up a little lower part had me crying
that was fantastic! well done!
Just a question: does every magician have a UA-cam channel?
how did he do it
Missed most of the tricks cause spent all attention on Alyson. That's real magic! :)
Lily and Barney
It’s LEGEN ... wait for it ..
...
...
she wear that same blue dress everyday
She wears the same dress in a given season so that the show can put together several different performances filmed on different dates to make each 'show'. This makes it consistent within a season.
its easier to edit a tv programme if the presenter wears the same outfit every show
Looks fucking great on her too.
It’s for continuity, so they can air the acts whenever they want. Presumably, that’s why P&T wear the same suits every time, as well.
@@Daimodess Yeah, why does no one care that they wear the same suits every time?
well presented. good job
Well done I really like this vid anyway I hope you have a lot of success in you career
He acts, sounds and looks a bit like Barney Stinson
Would of being funnier with the quarter in the ball...
Kohrath But less impressive as it could have been any quarter
That's genius...
Would have
at 6:17 it looks like pacman
Arjun kohli exactly what I thought
great trick! I was really worried about the ring hahaha, good thing you gave it to her at the end XD
wow great act
did he go to the same school as the fresh prince?
SO HOW'D YOU DO IT? :)
