If you think about it, two young magicians like this, focusing on comedy would be perfect to take over for Penn & Teller when they retire.
Thank you so much! We will definitely be doing more in the future so keep a look out!
They fooledc you, penn n trellsr will live forever
@@derrekvanee4567 FU! Penn & Teller Forever!
I especially like that they did Cup and Balls revealing their secret to audience; with how many times Penn and Teller themselves did Cup and Balls with clear plastic cups.
@@derrekvanee4567 i hope they reveal the trick for that magic.
Penn and Teller actually have a history of doing this kind of magic where only one person is fooled and everyone else is in on it.
The one with metal rings is prolly my favourite of those
it’s like they know what they’re doing!!!
The knife throwing bit on Conan.
Penn’s rope trick is my favorite for that very reason
That was a point It was an homage he flat I told him it was and homage
This possibly the ultimate tribute to Penn and teller. A creative way of combining cups and balls and blast off
Excellent Blast Off tribute at the end :-)
@@onedaya_martian1238 TRAP-DOOR! ;) THE BURNINATOR
I love that for once, the audience knows exactly how the trick is done, and only Penn is (potentially) in the dark.
online audience
@@photoprecisevideos Yes, true, and that's what I meant. When I say audience, I mean the TV audience or UA-cam audience (like me). I realize that they didn't have an in-person audience for this season.
@@photoprecisevideosgood job! that is a type of audience!
what i found most funny is that for a large part of the trick he's actually just doing normal cups and balls things. the only thing that is impossible with typical tricks is placing the fruits under the cups when penn is picking the fruit after the last time you lifted those cups.
in his head it must have been "yeah classic cup and balls, good execution and great storytelling" until the final one with the orange, then it's "allright, he can't have placed this orange beforehand so what will he followup with?" and at the exact moment he sees the orange, he's surprised.
Sometimes I don’t need to be fooled. Sometimes I just need to have a good laugh. Comedy magicians are my favourite (yes I’m Canadian and this thing keeps trying to autoconnect me)
I think Piff represents this remark.
@@forceshieldjeff I love Piff and Mr. Piffles. I especially love Jade! She is such a great performer and her physical comedy is perfect
@@henrytawnn8694 love those acts!
Glad we could make you laugh :)
Autoconnect x)
I really love how Penn always has compliments for the acts whether they have fooled him or not. Both a real class act and the joy they have for the art even after all of these years is wonderful.
Unlike that Chris Angel who's so full of himself when he's among judges of magic shows
It might not have fooled him, but he has the utmost respect and joy for true showmanship and they nailed it!
Even when he absolutely hates the act and it makes him mad, he's usually respectful xD
Especially when he’s lying.
If they wanted to fool them I bet they could’ve.
Great future if they want to pursue it.
You both knew you weren't going to fool them... Shows great sportsmanship and willingness to put yourselves out there. I sincerely hope you guys make it BIG as for being so young still you did amazingly, especially considering the camera's and performing for no less than the gods P&T !!
you knew what they knew without actually knowing... lol
For them, the goal was never to fool, but to entertain, and they absolutly delivered on that
Really the goal for any aspiring magician shouldn't be to fool P&T, even though the show is called Fool Us. The real aim should be to impress them with showmanship, skill, etc. Even when someone does fool them, it's probably something they could have figured out given another 5 minutes of chatting amongst themselves. They can probably perform 90% of any Fooler's trick on the spot, and trial and error the last 10% pretty quickly. Showmanship and skill are the real keys to success.
@@Yvaelle but they knew!
I think the boxes was a hail mary. If Penn decided to zero in on someone hiding in a box, they could move the stacked one to show there wasn't anyone in it, but he guessed how they'd actually hidden Kenshin. A great act and you know they loved it.
I love the extra stinger joke of the hiding place at the end. It's the perfect thing to tweak the expectations of anyone familiar with Penn and Teller routines.
The performances where not only are the magicians not even trying to fool Penn and Teller but KNOW they absolutely are not going to fool them are my favorite. The only point is to share something they love with Penn and Teller and they're totally just having fun. The love for their craft just shows
i have seen over a hundred fool us videos and this has got to be in my top 10. Just straight comedy and creativity!
Wow, thank you! You'll be seeing a lot more from us soon!
It’s not even just comedy magic, it’s just so lighthearted, uplifting and positive. Like, I feel the warmth of friendship of you two through the screen. That is a very pleasant feeling and something I’ve been missing from magic lately. Makes sense you work in charity
Penn still using code words even though everyone saw everything lol. "That opens up the whole thing" and "your partner is working under cover".
As one half of a comedy duo of magicians, I can say the most amazing thing you've done here is create something unique and original in your presentation.
No cliche lines, no typical ideas. You have really taken the concept and made it a great stage act. I look forward to seeing what you do next.
This was awesome because I think this is an act Penn and Teller themselves would do - right up their alley :)
The best act I've ever seen. They already knew they are not going to fool penn and teller. They only want the best presentation.
This was classic Penn and Teller - showing everyone the trick. That was such a great and original idea to bring on their show! The best part is that even though you didn't win the trophy I think everyone had a blast watching this performance.
2:25 Teller saw the middle cup move and knew right away
Nice catch!
I saw that as well and was glad nothing was said. I also think that Connor noticed it because from that point on, he held the cups down.
I really love the nodd to Penn and Teller here, this is one of my favourite trick from the show now. And the way you revealed the end was just great, I really didn't notice that you could hide there so easily and I'm more amazed now than if it was kept a secret.
Thank you so much!
I'm visually impaired, so when the box fell apart, I asked myself "Is Kenshin hiding behind the boxes?". But no, I couldn't see him between the boxes. Then I eventually noticed there was a pile of cloth behind them, and thought "...he can't possibly be hiding under that, can he?". I thought to myself how awkward it would be if after the end everybody in the audience saw him get up and walk off stage right. And then the reveal, just as planned.
It's a perfect bit! Penn's "under cover" line just made it even better. Like it was all scripted, but we know P&T don't do that, just icing on the cake. THAT is good comedy, right there.
Penn always choses his words very carefully,
As to tell the contestant exactly what they need to know he's figured it out,
While keeping the audience guessing.
@@BramLastname It's pretty great! I don't know any magic stuff so it's a lot of fun trying to puzzle out what's code and what's not. This particular one was extra funny for me. It's just _so_ perfect for the routine.
Yep, I went through the exact same thought process as you. How hilariously awkward it would be to see him walking off at the end unplanned
Whats so genius about this, is if you didnt show Kenshin - you wouldve fooled all of us! You guys did exactly what P&T do - you show how the trick is done, and then surprise us again!! Awesome job, guys!
Imitation is the best form of flattery, and Penn and Teller seemed very flattered by your performance. Good work guys!
This solidifies the fact that magic is not just about fooling someone, but it's about entertaining.
Great routine. Exactly the kind of work Penn and Teller would admire. The surprise at the end was great, but the camera angle didn't help a lot.
Imagine seeing it live, and being on a balcony, it wouldn't work. But with all that said, this is a very Penn and Teller trick.
If you look very closely at 2:52, there's a flash of a flange bracket pinned to the side of a mast, skeeting across the hopward delivery system that conceals a Taldini Trap across the front of a silk-lined mess-gyro that swings down through a fox-looped trough so that the back section of a finned grate covers the moment when a slatted grub-lattice wraps the Topshift Tourniquet tight enough to side-shift the wrist-blanker at the bottom of the misaligned bucket ledge holding the rough and smooth double-glazed window glass above the long-nosed flint where the finger sprockets fit into the moulded lateral Type Tucker.
Either that, or there's someone under the table.
😂
Lmao
T T
They should have done something to address the little bit of side fumbling. Maybe they'd have fooled Penn!
That was brilliant. Thank you for sharing it with us -- not only was it a great trick but it was a funny one. I'm glad you let Kenshin stand up and take his bows at the end.
Shows the brilliance of Penn which he routinely underplays. How he smelled the rat by reading Teller's face and put all the pieces together extremely well. Hats off to Penn. Of course this does not take away anything from the two youngsters .
I appreciate that CW and Penn and Teller allow the magicians in the scene to post on their own channel without a copyright strike
The sincerest form of flattery is imitation. These kids LOVE Penn & Teller, and this routine shows it.
The road is bright and and full of amazing things for you two. Great show. Best of luck.
Thank you so much! More material coming soon!
The one thing I really love about this show is even if Penn and Teller are NOT fooled, it is still very entertaining!
Quite often the magician knows they aren't going to fool them and just want the exposure and a chance to perform for P&T. It also goes the other way as well. There's been quite a few times it was obvious P&T knew how the act was done but they liked it so much, they just pretended to be fooled so that person could get a spot to perform in one of their live shows.
I really thought his buddy was inside the stacked box! What an fun and exciting performance!!! Very well done :)
That was just so cool and funny. Can't wait to see those boys make it BIG!
We hope so! Thank you Ian!
You fooled me! I thought he was hiding in the boxes.
You nailed it! This is exactly the kind of thing Penn and Teller would perform and it was beautiful and fun! All good wishes.
You still left teller speechless
At one time it was, never tell the secret or they would lose interest. Movies, wrestling, magic. Professionals have learned that discovering the trick doesn't always ruin the trick. But it can highlight how tough it can be with physical dexterity or how simple it can be, so simple you cant believe it was really that easy. I like where you can basically show the trick but still see the amazement in the person not knowing, but you also realize its not camera tricks or cuts and edits. You are taking the conedy and magic and putting it together in a very penn and teller style. While i hate to say it, they (P&T) are nit going to be around forever. That being said, you have the style to start filling their shoes. And you two might eventually be the next big duo.. congrats. More important than fooling them, you entertained them. Congratulations young fellers, you did great.
As a fellow college student, it's wild to think about going on stage and performing for Penn and Teller. Even though there are hints of how it's done, man this performance and your guys' presentation is just so fun and charming. Great job on this you guys, the work and passion you guys have really shines in your delivery. One of the best and most entertaining forms of teamwork I've seen!
Great stuff, such a fun routine. Would never fool them obviously but that wasn't the point - I bet they were beyond flattered to see something so evocative of their own performances.
Tearing the whole thing down at the end, was great for the audience to have a trick they couldn't quite figure out as well; however I think it hurt the trick. Once teller saw that the big sell at the end was these boxes, and the audience's reaction to them; it becomes quite apparent that they were not there before, calling into question exactly what was there before. It was a thrilling finish, but the wrong one to trick Penn.
The trick could use some polish but I think in the future with some experience they can come up with some really great stuff. I'd love to see the trick again once they master their craft. Their showmanship however was spot on! Really great duo.
You can't help but like these guys 😊very entertaining and I'd watch them anytime I get the chance
This was really really fun!
The ending was a very nice surprise as well.
Love this so much!
Altogether a great act and I like the separation between Penn and all the other people viewers. The audience is given all but one detail in the trick- where did the boxes come from? 😂
Behind the wall
Amazing rendition of a penn and teller style the audience is in on the trick act. Had me laughing all the way through hats off to you good sirs
watching Pen and Teller fool us in youtube for a long time, this is right away one of my top 5 most loved trick, cause presentation, entertaining and all elements of the show fitting together is key
To entertain is more important than to fool, and you entertained spectacularly! Well done! Then when you knocked down the display and it was just the boxes, I was looking for Kenshin and couldn't find him! I thought he MIGHT be in that stack of two boxes on the left, but you fooled me again! Wonderful! Thank you!
Fantastic routine! I love that you both messed with the format in a very Penn and Teller way.
Sometimes you need something wholesome. I wish good things for these two, and of course I love that one of them talked, and the other was silent.
the finishing 'no' sign was so CUTE in front of teller. great touch.
This was actually really cool! I’m so glad that you did this to show a little glimpse into how tricks are done. However, there’s so many that seem absolutely impossible. Regardless, I love watching magic and wish I could see much more.
The question reveal was really satisfying,
Like sure you made it really easy for the audience to follow what was going on,
But it still made me, and probably a bunch of others, pause for a bit to figure out what was going on.
Pair of magicians. One is silent, one is charismatic. A focus on comedy. Lets the audience see the inside of the trick.
Of course Penn and Teller fans are going to love you.
That was a great routine, Connor and Kenshin. All the best to you guys with your both magic and NGO careers.
You got me. I thought the 3 remaining blocks were fake and had room for him inside.
Didn’t think he rolled out the back.
Given the depth of the platform base, I thought Kenshin was underneath, which would be uncomfortable yet he could stay hidden in there when the prop was wheeled offstage, but Penn knew that cloth was there for a reason.
I liked it because it was entertaining and that's all we actually want from magic. The ending was also a cool way to go about it.
Funny to se how Penn reacted to all of this ^^
That act was awesome. Magicians who embrace comedy are the best.
I'm sure both Penn and Teller appreciate the entertainment value just as much as they love being fooled. Amazing act!
You two have such powerful presence together, very good performance!
That was an amazing performance. I loved every bit of it!
Absolutely my favorite act so far, so well executed and you can tell penn and teller really loved it
You guys were awesome. Love seeing comedic acts like this. Hope you will make it big with your nonprofit work, and help as many people as you can. Best of luck to you both. Keep bringing happiness and smiles to the world. Cheers.
Great act; had me laughing 😆
I will never not think of her putting a flute in her cha cha
Gotta say, it's a good idea showing Teller the secret during the trick so that you only need to fool Penn.
However it's difficult to do that without Penn figuring out that it's one of those tricks, and then putting together the rest.
Penn may be easier to fool than Teller, but he is still not easy to fool.
And this really is the type of trick Penn and Teller enjoy.
I don't think they were really trying to fool them. I mean the intro video was shown in the auditorium and it flat-out shows the partner. It's nonetheless a super fun trick and I'm glad they did it this way, brings something fresh to the show
More, please? Great, great act! This kind of act will always win an audience.
This was great you two!
As a fellow magician, I think yall should come up wit a tricky twist routine that looks like it involves and needs 2 people, but it truly is only jus 1 of you!
That would be dope to see! 💯
Subbed btw.
Oh, that was fun! I'd love to see you come back! Indeed Teller is very good at giving away emotions, and Penn is a a smart guy.
This is still probably one of my favorite acts on Fool Us.
this is fun, you really played with the format and it's a great act
A trick where everyone *except* the guy on stage is in on it? That's a great trick to do for Penn and Teller, they seem to like those
Doubling down, you had no big dreams of fooling us, but man did you two entertain us! Well done.
Great routine guys! look forward to seeing more.
I love this act. The mischievous assistant/ confident front man act is so old school vaudeville, very very entertaining. Sometimes you dont need to see something new to entertain but something that hasnt been seen in a long time. I wish these fellas all the luck in a (I think) very long and sucessful career
The perfect definition of non-profit!
They knew they wouldn‘t fool them (him), but did the act anyway, because they wanted to entertain people and make them happy.
What a fantastic act. Loved every minute. The table getting knocked down at the end was great!
It would have been a great twist if Kenshin was in the audience at the end. If the under table bit was being recorded offstage, that might work.
This was AWESOME and I am so proud of the two of you!! Killer act 😊
What a magnificent performance from the next generation of magic! I hope y'all go far! Fabulous routine!
Such a simple trick, and yet so fun! Fantastic work to a dynamic duo!
I think that a lot of people get a kick in figuring out the trick, like it's all there is, however what I liked about this is that it focuses on the most important part of an entertainment act. The entertainment. It's not mystifying, it's not laugh out loud hilarious, but it's some good old fun. Jolly good fellas
I knew what was happening near beginning. The cup accidentally moved on table giving away it was being loaded by someone underneath and Penn actually caught this also as you see his head move to look at it
Really? I didn’t catch that ….
@@sundawg139 go to about 2:23 and watch middle cup. It moves at about 2:25 and Penn notices it i think. After that point note the magician then holds one of his fingers on the cups everytime to prevent anymore movements while they get loaded
Sorry bud, I was trying to make a funny since the whole act was a comedy sketch. It was a bit obvious that he was holding the cups down for his partner and it was clear from the intro that it was a “teamwork” bit. I guess I should stick to my day job and not do comedy
@@sundawg139 🤣🤣🤣 now i get it...
Its funny. Stick with comedy. You good 👍
Yeah that cup gave it all away
Could not stop smiling throughout the whole thing, this was amazing XD
This is the most innovative magic trick I've ever seen. Great job
What a great show. Especially for kids. Loved that act.
It had everything I want from a magic show.
Didn't try to look like real magic.
Was all executed and had a few surprises, that everyone can recognize
Alright, when's you next magic show? I mean seriously, you guys are awesome! This type of presentation is the main charm!
Follow our socials for updates! We have some projects coming up soon! Thank you! :)
It was great!!!! If I am paying for a show... I want to see this and this keeps me wanting to see more so it works lol
It's nice to know just incase he was wrong, he didn't call him out directly, he still tried to get his ideas across subtly.
They won the real prize Penn and Teller’s Respect.
The trick is there's someone under the table placing the fruit. Your welcome
Rubbish. Its pure sleight of hand. The kid is a master manipulator with cups and balls.
I had to slow it down but you might be right.
Jesus christ, are you Sherlock Holmes?
@@binaryboy Watched a few times without seeing it, but then copied you and slowed it down. Dang CGI. Can't believe I missed it!
you're sure 'bout that? o_O I mean ... that is a magician! pretty sure he doesn't need any help!
It's not magic in the usual sense, but it is for sure entertainment. And THAT is exactly what they are looking for. Would love to see more!
I love how Penn took one look at Tellers face when he sat down and knew something was up.
Don't be disappointed, you two have maybe 5-8 years experience as semi-pro magicians together.
Teller alone had that much experience even before Penn Jillette STARTED ... BOTH have actively sought out the ones who make and perform out of the normal and both have now studied and performed total about 130 years. (their combined ages is about 150 years old and i assume they both started under age 10)
This was fantastic! It wasn't about magic and fooling anyone, but a fun, entertaining and captivating act. Super!
This was just fun to watch. Loved the whole bit . You guys are great
That was so much fun!
I really enjoyed that man, thanks for the laugh and entertainment!
keep inventing new twist young lads! u r the future. Love your initiative for fundraising. all the best lads!!!!!
I loved this trick the whole way through, and it looks like Penn and Teller did too!
This is great, really in Penn & Teller's signature style too.
