Hey everybody, thanks for watching! Zoe did such a great job, and it will be cool to track her career in magic in the years to come! 🎩✨ BTW they didn't show a full magic act on AGT yesterday which is why I skipped making a reaction for it. They only had some abbreviated version showing how bored the judges were, so it was not interesting.
I can explain the trick, it can be done in 2 different ways :) lemme know
I'm not seeing how a crimp card helps here. She did do a few cuts and moves, but still fooled me. She was really good.
Wow I don't know how this girl did that magic job ^^, but she's unbelievable ! Congratulation !
The only way I can explain it is if, after Teller put some cards above and some below, at 4:37, Zoe continued and said something like "I will do some more cuts so that your card is more lost..." but that part was edited out (indeed, the camera cuts at this point to show the audience). In this case, a crimp at the bottom card would be useful.
2:21 lets be honest she just didn't want to attempt a classic force on live tv 😂
Just being on the show, and doing as well as she did at 12... she wins.
There was a lovely moment at 4:03, when Penn looked across to Teller with a lovely smile, indicating there and then that they knew the routine. But, and it's a big "but", that young lady has a great future. The fact that she didn't fool them may just be a great incentive to keep working on her craft. Good luck, young lady.
i noticed that part also......very nice moment...they still played it off great
Are you kidding when i was 12 i had just stopped playing with mud and into G.I. Joe with the kungfu grip.
First Name Last Name 😂
i bought a box of magic tricks when i was 11. but yet, gi joe action figures were the best. i also had the M.A.S.K. action figures that time. 😄
First Name Last Name I got you beat! I was using the double undercut as my main card control at age 12 so there! It was my only card control ok. But I was 12! Sue me
Pfft. Your GI joe couldn’t take on my Ninja turtles with spinning weapon action
First Name Last Name I got you beat. With my He-Man action figures I had the Power of Greyskull on my side...plus that dates me. I was the youngest of four. Hand me downs they’re called. But my He-Man toy is more swoll than any Ninja turtle or GI Joe!
I believe the way she did it involved marked cards in a stacked, un-shuffled deck, and a crimp. Penn had a free choice of which card he picked. She never knew what card it was until the reveal at the end (unless the markings on the backs of the cards told her, but they were likely only a sequence and not the actual card values). While he's holding that, she had Teller pick a bunch of cards from the middle and count them. When she turns around, she is able to see at a glance from the secret markings on the backs of the cards that there is now a gap of 10 missing cards in her stacked deck. Using marked cards in a stacked deck is the non-magic gambling bit that Penn talked about at the end.
She now invites Penn to insert his card at any time and starts putting down bunches of them, and at the point he puts his card back in, she is secretly crimping the bottom card in her left hand by bending its corner slightly with her pinkie, while his focus is on putting his card back. Then, knowing Teller pulled 10 cards, she puts down 9 in (I think) 2 bunches, so like 5 and then 4, then her next bunch she pulls some number off the top, plus her bottom crimped card, and tosses that down as if she pulled them all from the top.
Now she has the crimp, then 9 cards, then Penn's card. She then cuts the cards several times, being careful to not disturb these 11 cards which begin at the crimp (crimp, plus 9, plus Penn's).
Then she invites Teller to put his cards back, some on top, some on bottom. At this point, either to help preserve the mystery for our young magician, or just to help the show, I believe the producers do a jump cut skipping some of her card handling, hidden by a cutaway. They cut away to a random lady in the audience smiling, and when we're back on Zoe, I believe she's done a cut down to her crimped card and squared the deck.
She then asks Teller his number, counts down the 9 cards she inserted after Penn put his card back in (the crimped card is now on the bottom of the deck after the edited-out bit where she gives the deck a final cut), and the 10th card down is Penn's.
And props to her for being so good as to do these magician techniques so well, not the least including the patter, with such wonderful presence of mind, projecting charisma, and navigating everything so brilliantly!
Doesn't matter if she fooled them or not. She has such stage presence.
I totally agree. Her presence is very impressive for a so young girl !
it's usually fairly easy to deduce/see how some tricks are done or could've been done....
but this...i really have no clue
like you said @Jason Parker....one might have an idea of how she knew the card Penn picked...but the end...HOW HOW HOW??????? THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!
My guess is that because she told teller to pull from the middle of the deck, that's where the marked cards were at. So that with a little math an a few outs let's her always be able to get it. (And not necessary on the 10th card)
She's using a marked deck and the crimping method
Not sure how it happened, but I'm guessing that smile/eye contact between penn and teller at 4:02 meant they saw something there.
same
She did do something, that was only one card she placed and then after the 1 card she out multiple down meaning that the first one was a key card, still no idea how she got it 10 down
That was the last chance for her to have an impact on the outcome, so yes, totally agree with that
Yea looks like she fumbled a bit too. The cut was simply a false cut .. meath nothing.
I think she picked the bottom card too... It can also explain the weird antisleightofhand way of dealing cards...!?
I watched this couple days ago. I loved her go get ‘em attitude, for the next time.
The cards taken by teller, from the middle, are marked in a way different from the peripheral ones.
She put Penn’s card after a known number of cards that were on the periphery.
On counting the 10 cards, she counted the central cards one by one, then calculated (10-the number of central cards) .. and did double or triple lifts to adjust for the 10 cards, with the flexibility to have it at 10 or 11 (just after 10)
A lot of practice for a child
One-handed double- or triple-lifts off a tabled deck? Really?
I too really enjoyed her presentation. I think it was very smart of her to present/patter in a way that Penn & Teller themselves like to present. That is to say, pretending to give us a behind the scenes explanation of the secrets of magic, while continuing to fool us all along.
Marc Bertucco ah yeah that’s a great point
The best known explanation for this trick is that the show editors removed one deck cut after Teller had added the cards back. If that's true, the trick is pretty simple. If the show actually displayed the actual trick, I still have no idea how she did it (the card counting part).
After watching this video multible times i am pretty sure that it was luck for her:
1. Penn had a free choice on the Card Pick, same goes for Teller.
2. While dealing the Cards down waiting for Penn to stop her, she counted the Cards so she was able to know how many Cards Teller took.
3. After Penn stopped her i guess she made a little bend in the Card she placed on top of his selection (key card). So she was able to keep track of it.
4. This is where the "gambling" starts. After she knew how many Cards Peller took, she placed the card in the middle Position of the number he was thinking of.
Lets say Teller had 10 Cards, so she placed the selection on the 5th Position. Then she told Teller to place some Cards on Top and some on the bottom. Most People would split the Cards more or less evenly, so lets say 5 - 5 or 4 - 6 and thats what she was hoping for.
Lets say Teller would have gone 6 Top and 4 Bottom, then she had to count 10 Cards down and reaveled the 11th Card as his selection. If he would go 4 Top and 6 Bottom i am pretty sure that the Trick would go on, saying something like "wouldnt it be impressive if you card was among this 10 Cards" or something like that.
This would work with every number:
lets say he picks 7 cards, then she had to place the selection on the 4th position from the Top. If he puts 3 or 4 Cards on Top she needs only to reveal it as the 7th Card or counting seven Cards down and reveal the 8th Card as his selection. Else the Trick would go on.
I am pretty sure thats why they talk about gambling, the outcome she had was just perfect for her with some luck involved.
There is a Trick from David Blaine where the Spectator choses a Suit and he Vanishes all other Suits from the Deck: ua-cam.com/video/5UQSM5jo72k/v-deo.html its more or less the same Principle. If the Spectator says Hearths, the Trick is done. Else it goes on (Magician`s choice)
But thats just my Opinion, maybe i am completely wrong ^^
Still amazing handling from her with that age, she would have deserved that Trophy :)
TNESatiron yeah I definitely think something was removed from the video, because even with the concept of multiple outs.... she didn’t see it know how teller split the cards on top and bottom.. she was looking away. And even if she was looking shouldn’t wouldn’t be able to know for sure.
It did seem a bit odd to take the tenth card rather than count ten cards and then his would have been the next card.
So I could see how the is a bit of built in wiggle room.
But had teller pulled a bigger clump like 20 cards you have a lot more chance of it being not anywhere near the clump total from the top and I feel like funny business making up ways to count more would be difficult to do smoothly.
I do agree she counter cards because she dealt down in clumps in guessing of 3
"had teller pulled a bigger clump like 20 cards"
20 cards is almost 40% of the deck! She tells him to specifically take a "small clump of cards from the middle of the deck."
...Although it would be funny if he left just one card for her.
sure, there's 2 outs, but she doesn't know how many cards teller put on top. So how does she know which out to use? multiple outs are only good if you can tell which one to use.
@Daniel Brandstetter She had him take cards from the middle of the deck and she brought each one up to see it better as she counted. I'd say that it's a clear sign that the cards were marked in some way and she was looking at that.
I don't know why you say she only has two outs though.
"Take a small number of cards, count them to yourself, and remember that number."
Me: *Takes all but the 2 end cards from the deck.*
Ok there is a trick where you have a crimped card as a key card, you have 2 people take some cards etc... any way, the end is the same. Penn did say key a couple of times. I think this was a variation of that trick. I'm looking for its name or something
whaaaaaat! :)) . this is weird. she made me gradually smile :) .with each step of the trick i was smiling more and more and laugh at end.she is serious stuff. i hope she keeps doing magic cause she has insane potential.if all goes well in her life, we could see her in 30 years performing on biggest stages in the world.for real,if at 12 she can have this calm and awareness on the stage, sky is the limit.
My guess about the last part is that she had sufficiently large number of cards on top, dealt multiple cards at a time, only to make sure that by the last dealing, she deals up to the crimp. But if she indeed dealt multiple cards, it was flawless from the vantage point of the camera.
Loved her confidence and also have not a clue how she did that. It seems that maybe Penn was implying she was using some kind of rote memory technique, but that’s just my impression.
Why is Penn not hiding the card. Starting @ 3:30 you can see a possible data breach.
Frank Salman the easy part is for her to know his card and no way to predict a “data breach”. It’s the ending that makes this one great.
Capital One: what data breach? Come again?
@@Chinookman true
@@callofman2511 lol
Doesn't matter, knowing the card is not the trick. Knowing its final position is.
great and simple trick ... at 3:59 she placed the key with the card from under the deck + at 5:25 she using the key to pick-up the 5 of hearts together with the rest of the cards that are on top of it. For that reason, the reveal of the selected card is done by her and close to her body. Nice and effective trick.
I could be wrong ... but, it is just my opinion of how this may work. :)
But after the reveal there is a shot from slightly behind and to the side.
It does not look like a clump of cards... At most maybe 3?
But if you look right before she picks up the card when lifting the 9th card the top card slides a bit and doesn't look like it's more than one card
The real problem is that at the end she asked Teller to put cards on top and bottom randomly🤯
Agreed
Only thing I can think of is she also did some double/triple lifts while counting to the 10th card (5:00 onward). The camera didn't have a clear enough angle to tell for most of that part.
fuzzy drawings and if she did...phenomenal for someone of her age and 1 year of experience. Also she said she has been practicing this particular trick for 2 month in front of people. Maybe many months prior. But still, only a matter of months, not years. The kid still has to go to school and extra curricular activities. Lol
@@Chinookman 100%
@@fuzzydrawrings269 how would that help? Teller didn't say how many cars he put on top. She would have to know this to decide how many double lifts to do.
@4:00 min just after he put the card on the deck she used slight of hand to clip the card
She’s so confident. At twenty five I wouldn’t be that confident anywhere near them. Let alone on stage too.
She did great I was lost lmao but it was cool ALSO EVERYONE SMASH LIKEEEEE!!!!!!!!
She will be great for sure. I loved her presentation. Hope she stays on the right path motivated and working hard on her skills.
@3:52 - 4:02 she is bending the cards as she puts them down on the table marking them with a crease. You see Penn then gently put his card in the deck and look at Teller @4:03 smiling once they both know exactly what she is doing to the cards. She even bends the remaining cards in her hand and even pauses to bend them after Penn puts his card in the deck. She marked the cards. Bending the cards like she did is the fastest way to get kicked out of a casino playing a single deck card game of black jack, poker, etc. It’s easier to see her bend the cards if you slow down the video and watch.
Charm City Casino -Com you got it ! She counts the cards, does the math, puts the card in the right spot with her last split and bingo ! Magic
@@Alexbastard So what's the maths for knowing how many cards Teller will place on top?
@@DVineMe tellers cards aren't marked, he had hold of them when she was marking the others. So she counts past the straight cards, and when she gets to the marked cards she picks up multiples to the 6H.
@@NathanSmith-om8ym The first part yes, but the second part...?
If the cards she holds are bent it would be easy to bring Penn's card to the top with her final cuts. Teller then places his cards on top of the selection and she simply takes those off again. So I'm still confused about the counting and maths before putting the card in the right spot.
I notice after Penn put his card back on the stack she put the cards on top in groups of 3. She did do a light cut shuffle but that might have been made to look like she shuffled but really didn't
Correct!
Any order can be a special order, if you have a good enough memory.
That is phenomenal. Being able to do this at such a young age. I have no idea how she did that. Phenomenal. I only hope that amidst all that energy put in her perfection, she still gets to be a kid.
I hope that she comes back and fool them in a year or two.
the "code" or "pattern" part is where she's dealing cards onto the table before Penn put his hard into the deck, you can see towards the bottom of her stack of cards she fumbled for a second in counting how many she had which you can see Penn clearly picked up on as he smiled. notice her dealing those cards wasn't random but in groups of like 3-4 cards at a time, since the deck wasn't shuffled at the start they could have been arranged in an order that was out of order until she started laying them down in groups of 3-4 at a time essentially putting them into order. she also knew that Teller had cards that were going to be placed back into the deck afterwards, small hands are better with feeling minute details so if she's counting how many cards are in the deck she knows how many Teller has. there was also her "couple of cuts" before Teller placed his cards back in the deck, she knew where Penn put his card since she counted the "groups" off when having him put the card back and simply moved the card to a spot near the top leaving room for Teller's cards to fill in the gap. i wouldn't say this is perfect as i don't know all the terms and what not but this is definitely along the lines if you go back and watch the way she handles the cards!
Quantum Uncertainty Workshop just from my perspective... no human is able to hold the deck and know how many cards teller has taken from it by touch :)
@@JasonParkerMagic Richard Turner can for sure
davide I have seen him do that as well.. in fact I have had him perform to me in person .... I still have my doubts it could be a trick.... but if anyone could really do it it would be him.. :)
Ants take their cues from other ants.....but in a sovereign state THEY WILL bow to authority.
I wouldn't have been disappointed even if she had gotten it wrong. Her presentation was enough to keep everyone entertained.
That was kinda unfair tho! They guessed 1/2 the method. That's the same 1/2 I noticed as well. However, the second half of the method, where Teller could've put any amount above or below.. well, the solution for the first half (which they guessed) doesn't account for the second half, which.. i think stumped everyone else.
7:38 i thought she said "Penn, tell her"
My only guess... which would be very difficult with Penn and Teller right there, and could play into the "gamblers cheat", is when she counted to 10, she may have lifted more than one card, a double or triple lift, but again, not knowing how many cards teller put on top tells me she may have used the crimp to know the place of Penn's card.
Still an awesome trick, by a talented child
she just took high risk and it payed off. lets say teller put only 2 cards at the top. There is no way to fake that.
She was my best friend before she moved i so sad and i just called her.
I have one key thing that I think about, but probably she fooled me
When I was 12 I was watching Lassie on tv. She wasn’t even nervous! Incredible presentation for someone her age. No idea how the trick was done either
I'm not a magician (not even a part-time one) but I've seen tons of these videos and have started seeing some things here and there. I can tell you for a FACT that I have no freaking clue how she could have done this with what we saw. Unless they cut out part of the trick with the editing, there's NO possibility she could have waited until after the cards were shuffled AND Teller putting an undetermined number on top and bottom to ask Teller for the number of cards to count in order to find the 5 of hearts. If she shuffled them, then yes (or if she had a way to palm the card). But she literally counted the cards 1 at a time without any opportunity to skip or move the placement. What if he had be 5 cards on top and then given her the number 5? She would have had to make at least 5 more cards disappear to be able to reach it.
I have no idea....good trick, especially for a 12 year-old.
It’s hard to tell due to the camera angle but I believe the crimping happens after 3:56 and the crimped card can be seen at 4:01. Both Penn and Teller saw this and communicated to each other that they saw this at 4:03. Seriously though, Great performance young padawan.
Even if so, how did the crimped card end up the 10th from top while Teller had free choice to put any number of cards on top? Great trick!
No!!!!
When she told Penn to put her card in, she then put her cards on top on small groups at a time. What was that? Penn and Teller even looked at each other at that moment and smiled like they both understood what happened.
still is affected by the cards Teller puts on top at the end.
Putting them down in groups does seem fairer. If she just put the remaining cards on top, you could say the bottom card could've been used as a key card if she peeked the bottom card. this way she wouldn't know which card is on top op Penn's card.
I am prety shure, at that point, in the first group she put the botton card of the deck, who was smaller than the others (the thing of the scissors pen said). But, for me there are some misterys there.
She has such a great routine. She may not have fooled them but she has so much potential to be phenomenal magician if she decides to. I would have been way more nervous than her in front of an audience.
She did a killer job. Well done!
No matter how many times I watch this I have no clue!
All I can think is there was no shuffle at the start, but then there's a degree of randomness too so.....?
There was something fishy about how she handled the cards at 4:00 but she still fooled men with Teller putting cards on top. I am always surprised how P&T are fooled on easy tricks
I think alot of it is that easy tricka can,have many methods and they only get one guess and have to be specific. If a trick is done clean and you dont see the move you would kind of have to guess the method used,no?
Yup, still remember the guy with the oreo trick, so obvious yet fooled them.
She pull out 3 set of cards and did it three time that give a total of 9 cards on the table plus the one card that was 5 heart to give it a total of 10 cards on the bottom of the deck. She continue to do the same step to put them on top of the deck. Now on the table, she have total of 20 cards. She start to move the cards around mean she on took the last 10 cards and put them on top than cut again only took 5 card of the top and put them on the bottom. So, she ask the other guy how many cards did you have in your hand and he said "10".... before she start, she laid the cards right on the table and never ask them how many cards in the deck. Please respond back on this soon asap.... She was good. She just came up a new way of doing it... Please respond back on this. Thank from Vanyke Shubert
Vanyke Shubert hey here is me responding back to this! :) I’m not sure I follow exactly what you are saying, but she asked him how many cards after she already placed the cards down. Are you saying multiple outs and she would have done something differently if he said another number?
Vanyke - She threw me off because she didn't specifically ask Teller how many cards he took. She had told him to count his cards and remember that number, but then at the end she directed, "So, Teller, can you show me, what is the number you're thinking of?" Obviously I got distracted briefly by a meaningless irrelevancy.
I'm not a magician I just enjoy watching the videos and Jason's are so cool. I think if she crimped the card, it should be easy for a skilled artist to control it to the top, or wherever. Notice how, once Penn "loses" his card in the deck, she immediately cuts the deck, about where the card would be based on the number she laid down before Penn calls stop? Once she's controlled it, I'm not certain how she counted down to it. What a fun act.
She said show me the number you are THINKING of not the number of cards counted as we see in the video sequence. So I think a part of the video is cut where it has something to do with picking a number.
Hmm....I'm no magician, but when Penn was talking in "code" at the end, he mentioned '"crimping" (with the hair). That leads me to believe it has something to do with the 5
actually there were two other camera views from the front and one side, as well as Penn and Teller sitting right there on both sides. Then the fact that she used one hand to pick up cards with two fingers from one side of the deck.
VERY clean count. I've never heard of anyone who can double lift like that. Must be something else.
4:03 - The moment Penn catches her.
Awesome job by her, though.
Yeah, I saw the look they gave each other. Good call.
He doesn't catch her but he knows what is coming.
Very good performance. She fooled me too, and I would have liked her to fool them too.
solution?
I think that Pen meant that she used a hair to mark the card in some way? And when taking the cards from the top, she can take 2 instead of 1 to reach the correct position.
I hope you're joking that's the stupidest method ...if you're not you may need.a check up
A hair to mark a card? That’s gotta be a yikes from me, dawg.
@@Jungbeck It is probably code for a thin wire.
zyxzevn no. It’s a code for a ”crimp”
That kid was amazing! That trick isnt in any of my books (that I've seen yet anyway) so it being a gambler's cheat makes sense. It did seem like she was counting the cards as she was putting them down so I think she knew he had 10 cards but.... no one knows how many he put on top.... damn... stumped.
At 4:00 penn and teller both look at each other and smile. Knowingly.
Saw that i love it. Hehe

John Coops I care. Toxic human.
and oddly enough, that's the very premise of Christianity(and many other--particularly monotheistic--religions.)
Mockturtlesoup1 The thing I never understood about this premise of Christianity is, _who said it is permanent?_
Alright, I agree that we fell. But, who said we cannot rise back up? Does the Bible state that we cannot rise back again?
I think Penn put two points in his code for her. I think he referenced her using a key card as well as a gambler's crimp. Even still, very smooth and entertaining.
I think : layers. Gamblers' count until Teller put his cards atop and bottom ...
*Then!!! Here's my theory: she wrapped one of her long hairs around so she was able to separate Teller's cards completely.* 🤔 Am l clever or am l clever?
@Michael H. l will have to watch again l thought she touched them before Teller put some atop snd some at the bottom then Penn made such a point about curly hair and long straight hair. (It's great fun trying tonwork out how this tricks are done.) Thanx for the upload and a chance to figure it out. Did anyone manage to?
When she was counting to ten I was looking to see if she was pulling off more than one card to reach a specific location in the deck but it looks like a single card every time.
It's interesting the 5 of hearts appeared to be in the exact middle of the deck when she laid them out to the camera, but it appears Penn chose a card from the end so how did he end up with that card? 🤔
Notice Penn and Teller gave a wry smile to one another 4:02 when she was creating a 'random' place to put the card back, seems to me they were evenly divided increments. At 3:59 you can clearly see her counting the cards. She was in control of card placement the entire time.
How did she control the number of cards put on the top or bottom of the deck when she wasn't looking, and how did she control the number teller told her that he was thinking of. Something had to be cut from the performance because her hands couldn't have palmed a card to have it placed in the eleventh spot.
@@ShuffleUpandDeal32 that would mean she would only have a 1 in 10 chance to be right, because she didn't even know if he put any cards on the top or on the bottom. She wasn't watching and she said put then on the top or on the bottom, however he wanted. They definately edited some stuff out, but I think she palmed a deck that had cards that were the same card teller picked, and then used that deck for teller to put his cards into. So when he puts his 10 cards back on top or bottom she knows that going 10 cards in will get her back to cards from the deck that were all the same card that teller picked. Notice she didn't have teller sign the card so we would know that was the same exact card.
@@ShuffleUpandDeal32 I agree, she is definitely counting cards there and she knows how many Teller has taken out; the reference to crimping lets me think she knows and operates the selected card after it is returned, i.e. she can place it wherever she wants.
Now only have to figure out how does she deal with not knowing how many cards were placed on top; apparently EITHER all cards there were the same as the selected OR the performer would have some way of modifying the end, e.g. she may be able to tell if she made it to the marked card while counting and ask Teller for an extra number allowing her to get there.
@@ShuffleUpandDeal32 might be right. She could have used the number that teller says any way she wants giving multiple possibilities for the trick.
SoCal - Good observation on the 5H being in the middle, yet Penn took a card from the fringe. I don't know what to make of that.
The 5H is definitely crimped, which is why she places her finger on it at 5:15 and doesn't lift her finger, to hide the crimp. That alerted her to the chosen card.
No way Jason is still giving hearts to comments here after a fricken year c: JASON IS THE MAN!!
I didn't really make a comment here it's just an illusion!!
Check 4:02 in the time stamp. You will notice at 4:03 penn and teller look at eachother to acknowledge they both saw the crimp. She pushes the card a little with her right thumb nail down. I believe she is pulling the card out though at some point after but before Teller puts his cards on top and bottom. She shiftes her hand hold on the final card before she presents and this is when it comes together with a random card so when she flips it over its the card she had pulled showing. Thats how I wouldve' done it anyway if I had one ounce of her SoH.
Loved the video! yet again :D great channel! great Reaction!
NyHmii Gaming thank you!
My thoughts at 7:05 after Jason but before P&T. She knew Teller's number by simple subtraction. She continued counting the deck in threes after Penn returned the object card so she knew the total deck size remaining. She knew where his card was because ahe counted by threes before he returned it. Put the two together with some admittedly amazing control for her age and voilla.
SO EASY to figure out. Obviously.... She's using magic. And wow. I was dumbfounded. Got to be straight up magic.
A lot of people think she's somehow doing one hand doubles and triples when taking the cards off the tabled deck. I don't normally like speculating on tricks but in this case, I think this one had an edit so I don't feel as bad.
I think she makes a final cut after Teller puts his cards around the deck that's edited out. You could probably figure out how this could put things where they belong.
Find that a bit funny seeing as they flubbed a little when she talks openly about holding a pinky break and you can catch the crimp. Cool idea though for that part.
Gary Au good thoughts Gary! :)
I agree with you. I think there was an edit which cut out this cut making it impossible for viewers to figure out by just watching.
Penn smiles at teller when she gets her key
4:02
Yes, at 3:59 ... you can see how she is dealing from the bottom of the deck
Without that glance and smile I wouldn't have known anything was suspicious there. I still can't see it.
@@GabrielBardas ah really so thats why he said its more of a gambling thing?
@@bcast9978 She inhaled suddenly just at the moment of the trickery - like a person does stepping under a cold shower. That was my cue something was happening, but what - no idea. Brave girl, she has a bright future!
You can see the crimp at 4:01. She places it 3rd card above Penn's card.
And then P & T look at each other and smile at 4:03
Lol. "Okay! Not gonna make it easy because she's young."
WOW... how clean. Great, direct presentation.
Haven't worked it out myself. A crimp and a key card is the way it works but I can't reproduce it
sometimes we have to apply reverse gear to get thing. She is using Penn and Teller as prop.
When he put the card back in is when the magic happened.
I will say this: She succeeded in teaching Penn and Teller how not to be fooled by her!
I watch all of your videos and I like them all
From Egypt with lots of love 😍
YOU Hits thank you so much! :)
No idea how she did it - she did a great job for any age but amazing for a 12 year old!
I'm not sure on this one either, but I did notice that Teller saw her count out a certain number of cards at the 3:59 mark. He looked at Penn and said, " did you see that?" Penn looked back and smiled with the slightest of nods saying, "Yes, I did." Sick precise unspoken communication that call only exist between those of life long relations. I love that. But, apparently stacking the top in a precise order, shown by her counting, was important.
Don't know, don't want to know. Just a brilliant gag and SO well presented 👍
I would assume that a last cut was "cut out" in editing (there's a jumpcut in the video right when that would have happened). There had to be a last cut of the deck to bring the card into position. You know what I mean...
hey @Jason Parker ive been seeing your videos for like 2 days now and i really enjoy them. heres a sub and keep up the good work!
French Mike thanks soooo much Mike!
At 3:57, after Penn puts his card back in the deck as Zoe is placing the rest of the cards back on top of the deck Penn smiles at Teller and they give each other a knowing look. I'm thinking that is when she did whatever she did which I have no clue what it was.
She is dealing from the bottom of the deck. The camera work changes from top-down view to frontal view.
How she did the end I do not have a clue. Maybe she knows how many cards are missing but even then it is hard how to get to the end.
This is where multiple outs and having the perfect out kills people. She counts out a few cards and strips the bottom card as a crimp to put the selection around 4th in the deck, she also could keep track of how many cards were removed, when she turned around she paused and used the classic crutch of "now .." to potentially read markings. Not solving anything here I'm just dumping out what I know. The ending did completely baffle me but I assume there were other outs and no one can know what they were from the performance
The real Any Card At Any Number
I didn't see her do anything, she fooled me too
Its weird man, I agree. I mean, who the fuck even tought about control here?!? She coulda do it by crimp, or literally million other ways, key card (look again, I catched it on the first watching) when she "looses" the card, but in the end who the fuck even wandered about that?
It was obvious to me at least the puzzle is acaan not the control itse lf?!!
Penn didnt mentioned a word about it, I guess it HAD to be some part cut out, because the placement of the card on the position was SUPER IMPRESSIVE as shown in this video, if it was not about that, it was not what the audience saw, obviously.
I can did basically this trick but I have no idea why it works.. its just a math problem and it does have to start with an unshuffled deck. I fool myself everytime I do it because I have no idea how it works..it was developed by a mathematician... but..him saying curling would indicate she was not using math problem... so.. I can do the trick as a half wit and dont know why, but I have never curled a card.. I stay away from any card manipulations ans marking a place as that has all been done.. this trick I will do as my only card trick because if I dont know why it always works, noby I show it to will know it... I fount the math on this trick by looking for a mathematics equation for roulette similiar to card counting black jack.. I did find a math solution but you have to be so quick to place your bet after the ball is released that its too much math in my head to do so quickly. It also has to have a different calculation based on a steel vs tephylon ball and no bating to you witness and calculate 11 strait spins and noting that humans each will repeat themselves it they keep doing it. Rule: 11 pre-spins for the dealer..dont keep betting if ne dealer comes, dont every bet more than 20% of bankroll of$1200 or more and never play for more than 30 spins... I can do it on my home wheel but I cant go that fast at a sppedy table ..ohh well
I couldn't read the cards well from here, but presuming that Penn can recognize a Stebbins order, it is always possible that she was using an alternate order that would not be readily identified .. add in a crimp on the selected card, and noting the number of cards that are in proper order when they are added back to the deck could give her the point to control her selected card to - from there, skilled hands can accomplish the rest, I believe.
4.00 crimped card dropped on Penn’s. 4.37 cut to mom to hide she made another cut to crimp. Post production & new music hides this helpful edit.At the start she says these cards aren’t in any order - they are, markedly so. It’s a shame they hid the cut, because it makes this look impossible, when really she did very well. It would be easy under pressure to mess this up. I think she did a crimp on the fly which was bold, but not necessary. Nice cardistry for any age.
Watching this- I feel I need to pause the video and say: Jason Parker the girl got the number 10 because that is the amount of cards teller took from the deck..... it seems like you might have over-looked this. As to how she did it... I think she counted the cards after Penn placed his cards on top of the deck (at 3:56 - 4:05). If you look there she could have just place her cards on top of the other cards.... but she didn't, she carefully placed the rest of the cards on top in 3-4 little packs. Directly after that Penn and Teller looked at each other and smiled.
People definitely pay attention to the magicians audio video introductions. Notice how she pulls the fake card from the back in paper. Now she puts her hands on her elbows. She might've been pulling cards out of a flesh colored sleeve. The sleeves are made to look like her skin. Now, Notice the bracelets she's wearing. Huhhmm, could be to hide the beginning cuffs on thiose flesh colored sleeves. And did anyone else notice the thickness around her waste? Could be hiding some cards in or behind an apron that she's wearing in front of her dress. And she flings her hair. Is she secretly pulling out cards from under those long locks of hair? Or is some of it just a piece or wig with things hiding under it?
Do people tell you that you look like Tom Holland?
Kevin Min haha yeah I had that once :)
could it be ? (i have little knowledge of magic) that she swapped decks a couple of times.
when penn picked a card it was from a deck of 5 of hearts cards only.
when teller picked some cards it was from a standard deck
then penn put the card back into a deck with 5 of hearts only
then teller put the random cards on top and on bottom of that deck
because 1-9 cards could be put on top or on bottom of that deck the tenth card would be the first with 100% certainty to be a 5 of hearts
What a wonderfully charming young lady, and I have no idea how she did that. Not card counting going on as teller put a random amount on top. The only thing I can think of is she picked the deck up after Teller put his cards there and then cut the pack a couple times. No real reason to that so that is where the trick happened. Very skillful young lady/
i know exactly how she ..... nah thats bullshit i have no freakin idea and i suppose im in love :D this was just wonderful. looking forward to see her again
damn it now its 3 years later and i still cant figure it out i just love her performance sooooo nice :)
I really do think that something must have been cut out of this trick. She asks Teller to show what number he was thinking of - not how many cards he had taken. I just don't see how she could have done this given the seemingly random number of cards Teller placed on top of the deck. At 4:15 she has made herself aware of the top and the bottom card. The top card is the chosen card (5H) and the bottom card is some picture card but she knows what it is because she peeked while she was cutting. So now she will be able to tell how many cards teller has placed on the bottom after she does something to look at them but that's what we don't see because of the trick being edited I think.
Mark Lucas yeah unfortunately I have to agree... it’s my best guess so far too. Maybe there was a part where she was able to determine how many cards teller had and told him when she asks him later that he should put half on top and half on bottom? Or...? Hunh. Yeah I’m just not sure. Would be nice to know if some part was removed or not.....
@@JasonParkerMagic I compared 4:36 to 4:50 like 20x. Based on the stationary objects behind Teller, it appears the camera angle has not changed. However, the position of the cards definitely changed. So my only conclusion is when they inserted that inexplicable 4:38 audience shot--the only audience shot through the entire performance once her routine started--she probably was making a cut that they conveniently edited out. Because clearly the card has been moved and repositioned again between 4:36 and 4:50.
People are commenting on key cards, crimps & controls. Even if she can control the selection to where she wants, there is no way to know where to control to unless she knows how many cards Teller is going to put on top. The bottom line is this - the only way to get the selection tenth from the top is to get the it in this position from the top: 10 minus the number of cards Teller puts on top. There's no way around it. As presented in the video, there is no way for her to know how many cards Teller puts on top. To me, it looked like she legitimately dealt to the tenth card. I truly believe there is something going on behind the scenes or something is edited out of the performance.
Does anyone know what an out is?
@5:29 Are you guys related 😁
Problem with such fairness is that number of ways to do it is very small if not one. I not going to claim that I know how she did it, only thing that is fishy is that putting into the deck and then cutting which by that gambling reference probably ment she controled it somehow, maybe she got extremely good at picking multiple cards without revealing it so she could get to the card no metter the number idk honestly.
At 4:07 she did an additional cut.
hmm how about this. one cards is taken by penn, and some cards at top and bottom were taken by teller. So when they take the card, she marked remaining card. So, all she do is find unmarked card that sleeps between those sandwiches card. And by counting to ten, she pick some of those card until the last card. That is count as trimmed by penn and teller
Amazing trick. Perfectly done. I am still fooled. : )
Loved the trick but honestly I really didn't like the part of her presentation where she was revealing some sleights as part of teaching such as holding a break and forcing a card bcoz in my opinion those are some of the ultimate secrets of card magic in general , but over all completely fooled and entertained and congratulations to her she could keep her nerves in that big stage in front of the masters
