@@beaupeterson188 I like your rhyme. If I may piggy back a bit, I'd say that if you did Teller cry, you did EVERYTHING, way BEYOND right. Only those (very very few), have made Teller cry (at least publicly).
Proof they need a “Blew Us Away” award. This was beautiful and to hear those words of praise from Penn on behalf of Teller made me tear up… Perfect performance.
There's a certain irony on Fool Us that often the very best magicians in the world don't win a trophy. Shoot Ogawa does so much more than is shown here, and it all looks amazing and flawless. He is one of my favorite magicians of all time.
This is probably my biggest complaint; Fool Us isn't really about Penn and Teller being fooled, it's about introducing the world to the next generation of great magicians and giving them a chance to be known. It also gives an opportunity for new magic to be innovated. But often the people who get the trophy aren't really either and those who satisfy one or both don't get the trophy. They messed up going with the snazzy, snappy "Fool Us" FU gimmick and should've made it the "Amaze Us" trophy.
@@horusschnopp1882 I partially agree with you. Sometimes the foolers simply managed a gimmicked version of an old illusion, or manage to get Pen & Teller to guess incorrectly at which point the "trick" occurred in an act. However, occasionally some magicians do present things that I think are very original and unconventional. I think that was the original aim of the show. Not to increase the standard by which a trick is performed, but to get magicians to come up with new and interesting ways to carry on magic. This is why, although he is amazing in the true sense of the word, Shoot did not win a Fool Us trophy.
There was this man on the show long time ago before Alisson was there on the show.... his name was Michael Vincent...... what he showed is still the finest sleight of hand I have ever seen...... and yet that didn't fool them..... they know the sleights and thus it is difficult to "fool" them
I think this is the highest praise Penn could give to a non-fooler. The trick is just sleight of hand, so I'm not surprised they weren't fooled, but Penn did say it was some of the best sleight of hand in the world, and I couldn't agree more. I was certainly fooled, and also amazed by the sheer level of skill! This was absolutely fantastic!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Question if they know how a trick is done but did not see it done dose that count as a fool or no to you. I mean there might be with some tricks with only 1 way to do it so they could say we know how that's done. But you could do it that way so well they never saw you do anything so would you class that a foo yourselfl or no ? Genuine questions from someone open to learning from more experienced minds on the area.Thank you kindly.
@@georgeman5284 And this is something which is evolving in this program. Because sometimes it was like that they need to know and only know how effect is done.. and there was one time when they said that they need to also notice this move.. I think that simply they have more magicians which simply are the best in the industry so they had to simply raise bar a little.. Because it's really hard to take fooller who use classic magic and simply master it vs fooler who design new trick.
100% Accurate Statement!!!!! Shoot was SO HUMBLE He Teared up Listening to Penn's Praise. Very Moving! I don't believe Shoot came here really to fool Penn and Teller But To show His Talent to Them and Us. This Video Should Have way more thumbs up than 7K.
The look on Teller's face was worth far more than the trophy. Having an illusion work for somebody who doesn't know how it's being done is one thing. Teller knew absolutely what was being done and the illusion still worked for him.
Shoot Ogawa probably one of the most skillful magician on Earth . Not just his skill but the way he think about magic is so much different and we have so much respect for him . Very well done , very beautiful Shoot !
I think that happens when Teller knows what's happening in reality but his eyes still inform the brain that something else just happened because the trick was executed perfectly. For me, the 2:53 still looks like that.
i think the most impressive part about this act was the size of his balls. to attempt close-up sleight of hand with teller breathing down his neck doesn't just take skill, but big balls of steel
Yes. I like cheeky wizards who "abuse" Teller's hand, for example, to move a large coin under a white jacket in the right perspective ... even from Penn's point of view. :) Bravo.
@@DL-kc8fc Hah, good eye - or good thinking. You're right, he's definitely doing something there. Hooray for infinite replays :-D Still, even so - this is Teller. I doubt there is much that escapes his attention, even (or especially) the misdirections aimed at him.
@@christophalexander4542 No repetitions, no reduced speed. All only once, to have the same conditions as Penn, although the television viewer is always disadvantaged by brutal cuts. Only my experienced eye in this industry "appreciated" the audacity of this magician, and I like that. Of course, Teller knows, but this is a continuation of the magic of Penn and Teller, who, in the interest of the attractiveness of this show, prefer to answer that they have been deceived. This is not new information for me, but thanks for the response.
You know someone's sleight of hand is amazing when Teller giggles like a little kid!! I might not know the difference between good and amazing sleight of hand, but that is a tell-tale sign!
Oh man, it was hard to hold back my tears seeing both Teller and Ogawa had so sensitive feelings! What a great moment! When hard work gets it reward, better than the trophy! :)
I think it highlights how well he has attained his aim with magic. That is, of making people happy. I have heard other magicians talk about their joy with spreading awe and happiness and making something fun for viewers. But I have never seen them bring somebody to tears with joy.
penn just floored him with his patter compliment, he really was not expecting that, and to be complimented on that by one of the greats clearly meant a lot to him, especially him being a non english speaking magician
This was an exhibition guest, because while they knew that there was nothing to fool with, you deserved to be introduced to the world for your incredible skills! I wish they had another trophy for people like you.
I think one of the reasons why Penn gets so mad is because the prize is really performing with Penn and Teller in Las Vegas. This was one of the most beautiful magic acts I have ever seen, and made Teller cry, but because it's sleight of hand, Penn and Teller were not fooled. They can't have this beautiful act, but they have to take the guy who put a cookie in his mouth...
No doubt his magic trick revealed as best sleight of hand in world, but how did 3 people on stage(Teller, Alyson and Magician) along with thousands of people got teary-eyed? Isn't it an absolute magical thing along with his top notch performance?
2:54 I repeated that single second about 25 to 30 times, in slow motion, on big screen, without sound, you name it, and I still have absolutely no clue what happened. Your work is breathtaking, sir.
I dont know if i'm imagining it but I feel like he throws it from the bottom hand and it bounces in the upper hand ? (it seems to crazy though that it'd be so fast)
If you want to know how it's done, I'll tell you. He has tapped into the dark realm and summoned the dark over-lord. He's been given the black arts and he opens an interdimensional portal where he places the coin. Legend has it that everytime he performs this trick, he gains 300xp.
He did a sleight of hand to create the effect of the coin dropping from the purse. Anyone trained in coin magic would recognize the classic technique, along with all of his other techniques. The real artistry here is that despite all of his moves being well-known, none of them had any tell. I was only able to deduce what he did after seeing the effects and combining that with my prior knowledge in coin magic. I'm sure that's also how Penn and Teller were able to not be fooled.
Penn likes to play the big, loud buffoon, but he's very well-spoken, and can be very sensitive and kind. His moving speech at the end of this video shows it. And obviously I agree that that was a truly beautiful and amazing display of magical art by Mr Ogawa, and his humility and sincerity made it seem even better.
Between 4:05 and 4:08 Teller is seeing Soot;s left hand picking the big coin from inside he's jacket that gave it away, but was awesome executed act sleight of hand
I've watched so much magic, and learned a fair bit myself. I giglged like a child because I was amazed for the first time in a long time. It really was the best sleight of hand I've seen in ages.
I had the privilege to meet Shoot Ogawa in Singapore many years ago and without a shadow of doubt, he is one of the best coin magicians in the world. I would even say the best coin magician. One of the most kindest and sweetest person you can meet. Penn and Teller are absolutely right when they say he has great presentation. You never get bored when he performs. You can see the tears in Teller's eyes and that alone speaks volumes on the talent that Shoot Ogawa is.
Beautiful. Tears of joy all round! As usual Penn gives a speech instantly and thoughtfully which anyone else would need one hour on a word processor to construct.
Another person who may have tears in his eyes is David Roth, bitter tears from the pain of seeing his presentation done ten times better. I was never that crazy about the Portable Hole/Invisible Purse thing, and definitely not a fan of Roth's fast-moving, faster-talking presentation. (Credit where it's due, he was a pioneer for sure.) Ogawa elevates this plot to another level, with humility, a gentle humor, and skill that's off the charts. *This* is artful entertainment, and what the Invisible Purse plot should have been all along. Thank you, Shoot!
If I were Penn, I would just pretend I was fooled, hand him the trophy and have his performance in my act... Because that is some world class sleight of hand and looks so very magical in Shoot's hands... Major respect... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@shaunclarkson7131 yeah I don't think piff ever fooled them, but they loved his shtick and basically got him a Vegas residence. They bring these folks on their shows all the time, its just winning the trophy that guarantees it.
@@rma42084 I feel the FU trophy etc is just there so it’s not just “great magic”. It’s the plot if you will. The show would be enjoyable without it, but the commentary is better this way:)
With the benefit of frame-by-frame control on UA-cam, I saw how he did a couple of the moves. You can see if you advance frame-by-frame how he "drops" the coin from the top hand to the bottom hand at around 2:54, and if you watch Shoot at around 4:05, you can see where the big coin comes from, but to pull those moves off as seemlessly as he does requires an incredible amount of skill and control. I don't think he ever thought he was going to fool them with Teller in front of him, but he is an absolutely incredible performer.
wow, this guy is phenomenal. Forget a trophy on whether you fooled them or not, because really is that what magic is at it's core, 'see if I can fool you'? They should have a separate trophy for sleight of hand so good it leaves them completely amazed
Many people knows he is the best magician. But the point is his personality is also the best. I feel like I got a early Christmas present. The best UA-cam I’ve ever seen. Thank you very very much‼️ 多くの人はShootoさんはNo.1マジシャンで ある事を知ってると思います。 問題は、彼は人格的にも非常に素晴らしいと 言う事です。 一足早いクリスマスプレゼントを もらった気分です。 今まで見た最高のUA-camです。 ありがとうございます🤗 ありがとうございます‼️
My family and I just saw him live in a parlor magic performance in Hawaii. It was a small group of about 12 and it was THE MOST incredible slight of hand performances I have ever seen! Genuinely shocked at the feats he pulled off. Could not be more amazed at his talent, skill, and kindness.
Damn, I can see a tear in Teller's eye, and the extensive blinking to hide it. That's very touching to see, you both being that moved by it. Well done!
I had the pleasure of seeing Shoot perform close-up down in the basement of the Magic Castle. It was a small gathering of us, an impromptu show he was using as a sort of rehearsal to perfect material for the upcoming FISM competition. I have never seen such gorgeous, flawless sleight-of-hand in person. He has such a warm, humble demeanor too that just takes you in during the performance. This act was beautiful and one of my favorite Fool Us moments.
I'm not sure if "not fooling them" wasn't the best compliment you could ever get in this case. You made them believe in magic like children, even though they knew how to do it. That is a very high compliment... Bravo!
The night I auditioned for a magician membership at the Academy of Magical Arts (Magic Castle)…Shoot Agawa was one of the judges. Just imagine the nerves performing in front of such a great sleight of hand magician!!! I did get accepted and to this day I don’t know how…I know if it was Fool Us I didn’t fool anyone. But I will forever remember his presence and the intimidation I felt having to perform in front of Shoot and other industry professionals.
Maybe they should have something like a "Golden Achievement" trophy, separate from the FU trophy.🏆 Because this guy sure deserves it. I mean, hell, if you can make Teller cry...
Yeah, i understand that this did not fool them.... just sleight of hand.... but damn that was some stellar sleight of hand. I absolutely love minimalistic magic like this. A few "simple" props and then the real magic begins. A truly stellar performance.
Love shoot❤remember working at Kodak theater doing walk around magic with 5 other magicians and all we did was watching shoot doing this and ninja rings👏🏽good ole days😊
Making Teller cry of amusement, must be one of the greatest feelings of accomplishment for any performer... priceless!!
Yes. Teller facial expressions is the best
If you make Teller cry, you did something right.

It was a small gathering of us, an impromptu show he was using as a sort of rehearsal to perfect material for the upcoming FISM competition. I have never seen such gorgeous, flawless sleight-of-hand in person. He has such a warm, humble demeanor too that just takes you in during the performance. This act was beautiful and one of my favorite Fool Us moments.
I'm not sure if "not fooling them" wasn't the best compliment you could ever get in this case. You made them believe in magic like children, even though they knew how to do it. That is a very high compliment... Bravo!
Shoot Ogawa may not have fooled Penn & Teller but I bet he made them very happy.
Penn said he's the best right now wow awesome
The night I auditioned for a magician membership at the Academy of Magical Arts (Magic Castle)…Shoot Agawa was one of the judges. Just imagine the nerves performing in front of such a great sleight of hand magician!!! I did get accepted and to this day I don’t know how…I know if it was Fool Us I didn’t fool anyone. But I will forever remember his presence and the intimidation I felt having to perform in front of Shoot and other industry professionals.
I could die happy if i received such praise. A beautiful act and a beautiful moment between fellow artists.
Just because you know it in theory, doesn't mean you still shouldn't get the trophy - because he did fool you.
Maybe they should have something like a "Golden Achievement" trophy, separate from the FU trophy.🏆
Because this guy sure deserves it. I mean, hell, if you can make Teller cry...
Yeah, i understand that this did not fool them.... just sleight of hand.... but damn that was some stellar sleight of hand. I absolutely love minimalistic magic like this. A few "simple" props and then the real magic begins. A truly stellar performance.
His name sounds like the title of a movie!!! Also, what an amazing magician!!! I was blown away by his performance!
He wanted to make them happy and teller was laughing in amazement right away. Epic routine.
He said you were the BEST IN THE WORLD, and he meant it!! And it was amazing!!
He is epic! That was so clean that the cameras stayed on it the whole time and still no flaws :D
Being a slight of hand guy and doing all that in front of his face is balls of steel!!!
The best thing of Penn & Teller is dat they always seem 2 tell the truth ♥
Perfect rutine. I cannot see where the coin could be, he is showing both side of his hands. Truely a very skilled gentleman.
He knows that Penn gets happy/angry when someone fools them. Shoot likes to make people happy so he delivered a complete happiness for everyone
Ogawa’s skill level is on a different planet!! His presentation and performance and delivery and patter is smooooooooth!!!
What a great routine. Even though Penn & Teller weren't fooled, you could tell they genuinely loved the performance.
That was absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
What Penn said is way better than a fooler trophy! You got the golden buzzer!
Love shoot❤remember working at Kodak theater doing walk around magic with 5 other magicians and all we did was watching shoot doing this and ninja rings👏🏽good ole days😊
Even he dint fool them, i think he still deserve that trophy, he is too good .
Well done and deserved!
Edit: Just watched it again, a year later - and again its sympathic, moving and beautifully perfect. ❤
