    Really great trick.
    One thing though. She shouldn't be given the option to trade unless she's looking through the painting or it contradicts the narrative. Unless it's supposed to have tranferred x ray vision to her.

      If she said she did want to trade he would have held the painting back over her eyes to confirm I'm sure.
      Regardless her simple presence in the trick ruins it for me because for 1 how can you "see through envelopes" and not be shocked by it, and for 2 if you actually can't see through the envelopes and are guessing why aren't you acting confused or saying you can't see through?

      The envelopes all have green inside. So no matter how they are placed, the green one will always be right. The red one was swapped under the table. The ones that Peter opens himself are slight of hand. He doesn't really take something out of the envelopes, he is already holding the right cloth inside his hand before opening. Those he gets previously. I think: one from the table and one at 5:17. One hand will simultaneously hold the envelope and the extra cloth. The extra cloth is also packaged tight, so that he can make the illusion of it coming out of the envelope.

Yeah I couldn't do it, it requires years of practise, but its a pretty easy trick and if I can spot all the trades he did, any magician can see how the trick is done fairly easy.

      @@vinhix Not palming, he's using thumb tips. You notice each time he tears open the envelope he jams his right thumb inside, then he squeezes the outside of the envelope to take off the thumb tip and then reaches in to take out the scarf. He's really good at hiding the thumb tip during his movements but there's a few spots that if you pause you can see it. That's also why Penn gave the code word "tip of our tongue" he's referencing a thumb tip.

      Normally, yes. But on Fool Us the magicians often do that as misdirection to put Penn & Teller down the wrong path. Remember, P&T only get one guess, several people have won, NOT by doing a trick that they can't figure out but by providing them with clues that make them think it is more likely to be done by one way than a second one that they would have said. It is actually the only thing I don't like about the show is when they win like that. I'm genuinely more entertained when P&T have no idea how they do it and not by the magician winning on a technicality.

    What I hope Penn would say: All envelopes in beginning had green. 1st one was an obvious change to red before handing over to Alison. Then green handed to Alison. Other 2 envelopes in control with magician. Puts hands in pockets/under table both times, saves up yellow and blue cloth in fake thumb/fingers etc. And that’s the trick.

      There's gotta be a way to do it without the obvious switch and the guest holds all the envelopes. The magician hands the envelops in a particular direction. "hold right here. Now tear the bottom off with your other hand." the orientation of the envelops determines what pocket gets opened and it's contents spilt.

    Every envelop has green in it. Before he hands her the "red" envelop, he switches it under the table. For yellow and blue, he's palming a scrunched up piece of fabric (which he loaded into his hands out of his pockets when he stuck his hands into his pockets while talking). When he tears his envelops open, he leaves the wadded up green inside the envelops and displays the palmed appropriate colors.

    • @Fatvod

      Not palming, he's using thumb tips. You notice each time he tears open the envelope he jams his right thumb inside, then he squeezes the outside of the envelope to take off the thumb tip and then reaches in to take out the scarf. He's really good at hiding the thumb tip during his movements but there's a few spots that if you pause you can see it. That's also why Penn gave the code word "tip of our tongue" he's referencing a thumb tip.

      @JIKitty 3 роки тому +3

      I don't think that would work. I think the envelopes all have green inside. So no matter how they are placed, the green one will always be right. The red one was swapped under the table. The ones that Peter opens himself are slight of hand. He doesn't really take something out of the envelopes, he is already holding the right cloth inside his hand before opening. Those he gets previously. I think: one from the table and one at 5:17. One hand will simultaneously hold the envelope and the extra cloth. The extra cloth is also packaged tight, so that he can make the illusion of it coming out of the envelope.

I can't work out what it is that she "saw" that made her choose particular colours... but perhaps it's best to not know. I'll have to watch this a couple more times, because I'm a bit mystified by what actually happened. Good trick!
