I have been watching every Penn and Teller trick I can find. Love the ones like "Lift Off of Love" where they reveal how its done and Teller does interesting "behind the scenes" stuff
Hahaha best card force ever... he's literally telling the guy "Don't feel forced, just choose any card and put in the chisel" while physically grabbing the chisel and sticking it in himself hahaha.
The giant deck of cards is an OK idea, but I love the forklifts. The idea of using the graceful maneuvers of forklifts to spiff up a magic trick is the kind of thing I'd expect from Penn and Teller.
The bottom of every card is magnetized. They just placed the card upside down when they put it back in, so that the handkerchief magnets attach only to that card. The rest is just as you said :D
If you look carefully at 4:55, you can see that his card is bowed upwards from the top. The rest of the cards are bowed downwards. When he chose the card, it was placed into the deck upside down allowing Teller to clip the only raised card from the top of the deck. It is only higher in the middle where all the other cards are lower in the middle. Thats why the King is rightside up while the 7 of Hearts is actually depicted upside down.
I thought that at first but after rewatching it he says we will cane your butt in Singapore. A reference to the kid who spray painted cars in Singapore and was caned for it.
But if you take a fourth look, you can see that teller clearly told his army of invisible flying monkeys to hook it up, afterwards using using a rainbow colored mist to distract the audience as Teller gives the monkeys martial arts lessons as a reward for their work. Ladies and gentlemen, that is how Penn and Teller did this trick.
Fun, but I have to say, sometimes I wish Penn & Teller would try a little bit harder. It's sort of obvious that Teller is putting something on top of the chosen card when he holds it up. Then you can easily see two large rectangular magnets in the handkerchif he puts over the cards...
If you take a second look, and actually use your head, you will see that penn hits the card on the opposite side of which Lou signed it, so that when teller went to feel the card with his hands, the hit was on the bottom since he pulled it up with Lou's initials on the top at 4:48
Obviously the chisel marks the edge of the card by scraping it. and by placing the forklift up higher than the volunteer, they guarantee the angle of the chisel is upward, so it will scrape the bottom card but not the top card.. But I loved the shoveling with forklifts part.
Its bound to be more simple than that. The king is placed in the deck the other way up to all the others. All the other cards are the same way up. All they need to do is put some sort of hole or magnet in the top of each card. When one is turned over, it can be identified
I figured it out. Somehow, penn and teller magnetized the card the guy chose. If you look carefully, the handkerchief has two squares on it, probably magnets, and because of that, (seeing the magnets react to certain cards certain ways) teller knew which one was his card, and then attached a clip to it (that was attached to the for,lift) :D
I believe the key moment in the trick is when Teller places the handkerchief. I don't believe they care that much about damaging the deck because as you can see they smash one of the prongs of the fork into the bottom of the deck. So Teller strategically places the handkerchief in the right spot where the card is, where he can easily spot by the damage done to the card with the chisel at the beginning.
jk probably has a point here rand. While the gimmick of being "large" isn't something that implies a specific "prestige" to the trick, one does have to wonder why they would bother with METAL as opposed to paper of that size (while both would be expensive to produce, magicians prefer to keep "props" as close to a set standard as possible to avoid speculation except when it's unavoidable). The idea of a magnet or similar metallic-based marker isn't far-fetched.
I know it sounds rather obvious since they're performers, but the fact that the 3 of clubs is ALWAYS on top of their decks seems like they're trying to give it away
That's why it usually starts with "pick a card, any card". You automatically assume there is free choice involved when there usually isn't. Builds the moment at the end; "Wow I chose from 52 cards too, that's amazing" If you knew there was only a couple options or most of the time none it wouldn't be magical.
The bottom edge of all the cards are significantly marked - black paint maybe, the king gets turned around so Teller can easily see it through his "see through" hood.
Yeah I'm also not sure what that's about. He says "don't show it to either of us" but he has plenty of opportunity to look at the card. He even peeks over the border when the guy is tagging it with graffiti.
Its so obvious you guys. After the guest signed the card, Penn stuck it up in his trousers and then dropped it down in the deck while no1 was looking when he was hangin upside down, derh
it's simple at 2:09 u clearly see that penn marks the card by hitting it then when teller is on the forklift he just use his hands to feel that mark and then hook it up adn that boys and girls are my explanasion on how this card trick works
He totally palmed that card. LOL!
This trick is so obvious. It's just a simple deck switch.
That was hilarious
"You may see better, but you sure as hell will never see bigger!" LMFAO
I have been watching every Penn and Teller trick I can find. Love the ones like "Lift Off of Love" where they reveal how its done and Teller does interesting "behind the scenes" stuff
Isnt it that neighberhood from GTA? Hahaha
I love how when Teller hangs upside down at the end he is like "Point, point, point, wave, done."
It's obviously a double forklift
Hahaha best card force ever... he's literally telling the guy "Don't feel forced, just choose any card and put in the chisel" while physically grabbing the chisel and sticking it in himself hahaha.

Teller probably put a magnet on the card when he wasn't looking
"Slight of forklift" LOL
That animation at the end was just excellent
i cant stop watching penn and teller videos........
Wow... Every single joke bombed so hard. lol
The bottom of every card is magnetized. They just placed the card upside down when they put it back in, so that the handkerchief magnets attach only to that card. The rest is just as you said :D
ALWAYS THE 3 OF CLUBS!
I thought he dug for a bent sheet, due to the fact that he hammered a chisel to choose the card.
3 of clubs we meet again :D
when he inserted the chisel between the cards it made a dent on the plate.
I'd love to see a riffle shuffle with this deck...
If you look carefully at 4:55, you can see that his card is bowed upwards from the top. The rest of the cards are bowed downwards.

i've read that it is considered to be the easiest non face card to recognise on television.
I thought that at first but after rewatching it he says we will cane your butt in Singapore. A reference to the kid who spray painted cars in Singapore and was caned for it.
lue dented the card with the chisel and that's how teller found the card.
if you look closly you can see that Penn switched the deck
A big hand in poker gets a new meaning
yeah teller palmed the king
Teller is extremely fit!
I think that Penn had it in his jacket pocket all the time, and during the shuffle he put the card back in the deck
But if you take a fourth look, you can see that teller clearly told his army of invisible flying monkeys to hook it up, afterwards using using a rainbow colored mist to distract the audience as Teller gives the monkeys martial arts lessons as a reward for their work.
Ladies and gentlemen, that is how Penn and Teller did this trick.

There was something un-ordinary about that ordinary men's handkerchief.
Dude, that district looks like the one in all cartoons!
they just used that chisel to make a dent in the card so if you ran your fingers atop it you could feel the difference.
If you take a second look, and actually use your head, you will see that penn hits the card on the opposite side of which Lou signed it, so that when teller went to feel the card with his hands, the hit was on the bottom since he pulled it up with Lou's initials on the top at 4:48
They need to reread the safety section in the manuals for that equipment.
if you picked the 3 of clubs from penn and teller... it was over before it began

Horse & Stable? Handkerchief & Slip-cover? Ham & Salami? Harry & Steve? Him & She?
You figured it out, but is not simple.
Now you know that's just ridiculous. Obviously Teller palmed the marked card and just put it back in at the right position after they shuffled.
Its bound to be more simple than that. The king is placed in the deck the other way up to all the others. All the other cards are the same way up. All they need to do is put some sort of hole or magnet in the top of each card. When one is turned over, it can be identified
grove street!
He hit the back of the card, leaving a dent. Teller simply looked for that dent and used the forklift to raise the card
AND NOW, WITH SURGICAL PRECISION!
THREE OF CLUBS
The place looks like a giant movie set.
He marked it at 2:08. When Teller picks up the card look at the spot Pen hit. Everyone can see it.
I figured it out. Somehow, penn and teller magnetized the card the guy chose.

No Teller. He is the one upside down at the end.
For future reference, reference is spelled r-e-f-e-r-e-n-c-e.
they chose the card pen told him where to put the chisel.
The chisel marked the card

you can see the magnets behind the hankie
the king of diamonds was never placed on top of the deck.
Ah I see, thank you! I would not have known that term.
Love everything they do

There sure is a lot of people living in that culdesac

The proper term is "Culs-de-sac"
yes, yes he did
okay now do it at my neighborhood
cul-de-sac means "butt of the sack in french" it translates to a dead end road with inhabitants.
2:12
penn and teller start worrying because it's not three of clubs
pfft that was a force, he palmed it
The bottom edge of all the cards are significantly marked - black paint maybe, the king gets turned around so Teller can easily see it through his "see through" hood.
that's a lot of people living there.
lmao. he said give em a quick shuffle
card is so dam big...they could have marked it anywhere along the side while inserting it back into the deck. That was purely a stunt i think
Teller put a magnet on the bottom of the card with his shoe so that when the cards were flipped his wire/tie could grab it. Simple.
teller marked the card when he asked him to spray his name
Sleight of Forklift
@kapopo2100 I believe i have uploaded the whole special, just in separate segments..
It's not like he wasn't supposed to not know it, otherwise how would teller have 'magically' pulled it up out of the deck blindfolded
nawwwrrr teller's so adorable.
wow, that crow just can't understand their humor, can they
They did a deck switch somewhere.
I wonder why everyone keeps trying to ruin the magic for themselves? Leave it be and enjoy the show!
yes, but it's important to note that Teller did not touch the card
He did a pinky break! xD
The card, silly!
It's always the 3 of clubs.
and the 3 of clubs appears again!
He actually plays a pretty good bass too.
Yeah I'm also not sure what that's about. He says "don't show it to either of us" but he has plenty of opportunity to look at the card. He even peeks over the border when the guy is tagging it with graffiti.
You're my hero.
i'd rather not destroy my computer
this looks like ed edd &eddy's neighborhood
Its so obvious you guys.
After the guest signed the card, Penn stuck it up in his trousers and then dropped it down in the deck while no1 was looking when he was hangin upside down, derh
it's simple at 2:09 u clearly see that penn marks the card by hitting it then when teller is on the forklift he just use his hands to feel that mark and then hook it up adn that boys and girls are my explanasion on how this card trick works
Your name, your initials....your gang logo..
@kapopo2100
Yes i do, and I will see if i can get the rest of it posted tonight, if not tonight, i will eventually post it.
funny PENN"s name is bigger than tellers in the back....at 0:30
Always the 3 of clubs....
Hahahaha "World's largest cardtrick!" *place is dead as a morgue* "FREE FOOD!" *everyone comes* xDD
I was promised food.
they're addictive
