    The best sponge ball routine I’ve ever seen but I can’t get over the fact that he looks and sounds like Adam Sandler playing a part.

    the routine is awesome. the script and the effect is nowhere else to be seen. but... teller was 73 years when this was filmed.. and watching at his face, even taking into account all he knows about magic, but seeing his face, being able to be surprised once again... priceless. gabriel, you're one of a kind

    One of the best routine I've seen on Fool Us or just in general. No convoluted tricks, no constant misdirection with useless props and jokes, just a simple trick well presented that feels like real magic. I loved it.

    What I like about the Fool Us trophy is that it actually means something, they don't give them out to just anyone, P & T are an excellent pair of judges as they are extremely experienced. It's a good competition. I'm so glad this close up magic is making a comeback, for so long the big grand magic was popular but there is nothing to magic that uses stooges and camera tricks.

      Exceptions prove the rule. Why did Penn reassure viewers that he had asked the producers if they had "made adjustments" there? Because producers make adjustments from time to time and you can find several such "adjustments" in FU !!! In this case, there were no "adjustments", because shellfishers with sponges are very good even on the street when they rob. :)

    WHAT A BEAUTIFUL ROUTINE! Sponge balls are so accessible for beginning magicians, to the point that I feel they are so under appreciated. I had no idea they could be this amazing, though! The script and the effects and the magic are all so well in sync. The way everything is connected from moment to moment and forwards and backwards is so masterfully crafted. I LOVE this routine. Bravo!
