man this trick has haunted me for over a decade so thank you for waking me up from my nightmare. this is an amazing trick. not sure how you figured it out but I'll try to perform this myself.
Ty for the reveal some set up but worth it plus you can still use the gimmicks for a thought of card to the box from being placed in the deck so reusable nice
This all makes perfect sense, except the force. Shawn dumps the deck into Penn's hands, he pulls out the advertising cards and the one joker. He then has Penn fan them out in new deck order ( the 7D is in there in its usual place). He then has Penn shuffle the deck himself a few times. He then puts them into Shawn's hand and Shawn appears to simply square the deck and then spread the cards for Penn to choose. Unless there's an edit, or Shawn has palmed a 7D and has planted it in the deck after getting it back from Penn, I don't know how or when he would have located the 7D after Penn's shuffle in order to force the card. It makes perfect sense that it's a force given the rest of the trick, but unless there's an edit, I don't see where it happens.
When I considered this trick back then I was thinking maybe a stripper deck (we already know we can swap the cards so why not put what's mostly a stripper deck with an easy to find 7D?) It also seems there was a bit of a video cut, although I would assume not too long - maybe the time it would take him to find the card in a gimmicked deck?
always wondered what the gimmick was to get the card into a closed deck. I guessed it would be something like this, but i could never work it how exactly he did it! Massive props to Shawn for the rubber cement idea and the whole trick which is one of the greatest tricks ever. Well done for working it out, just as impressive
Omg I guessed 2/3rds! The force, the flap at the bottom, using glue. But the second deck switch is the genius part. That’s besides the top tier sleight of hand and performance from Shawn
You gotta have a lot of balls to do a deck switch in front of Pen and Teller and they would be looking for that when you reach in for the Pen. But it is amazing how people focus on what they’re supposed to focus on or not what they could have focussed on, which would’ve been him pulling that deck of cards out of his pocket
Fantastic video! One thing I noticed. You load the advertisement cards and one joker into your pocket at the start of the trick and then load the gimmick joker into that pocket after the deck switch. Both "Jokers" should be in that right side pocket. So when constructing your gimmick at 14:06 you shouldn't put the remaining joker in the deck because it should "already be in your pocket". Instead that joker should be pre loaded in your right pocket before the start of the trick so you can verify both jokers and advertisements at the end while leaving the gimmicked joker safe in your pocket.
Ah I had tried doing that trick some 5 years ago but I was missing the front flap and proper glue so that the back would easily open but properly close... But my box back was even better than yours : you can actually use the side flaps to build a sheath that controls the vertical position of the card entirely! (So it's easier to control that it goes exactly at the correct position) So much investment in building the gimmick and two packets opened for an epic fail 😅 From that I keep my practice of the deck switch that I got from a class taught by Shawn where he explains how he "learnt his lesson" about performing a deck switch in front of somebody as tall as Penn 😅 I still use that deck switch regularly for other tricks 😊 Maybe with the front flap, proper glue and OMG the second switch of course 😂 I'll find the motivation to attempt it again 😊 Thanks!
I had everything except for how he got the card in the right spot. Using the other flap of the box to mark the spot like a bookmark is brilliant. You don't even have to look at it, you can just feel it
A very very step by step in-depth tutorial and build and gimmicked edge down load what more can anyone want but to say a big thank you for sharing and teaching how to build with great results
Yeah I saw that cos when Shawn said what about the top is it sealed he said yep then when he asked is the bottom sealed penn went ehhhh ahhh like he’d seen something but didn’t want to say. Surely that should have been a giveaway and the fact Shawn had the gimmick card flap sticking out earlier in the trick and no one spotted him push it back down with his finger. I’d say they’re pretty easy to fool tbh
@@rivzxxx3490 They have to be “fooled” every now and then or the show would have shitty ratings and get cut. That’s why they’re very technical about giving a person the award, if they figure 9/10 of the person’s tricks they call it fooled for the 1.
The only part I don't get is how he forced the seven after Penn shuffled the deck 4 times, cut it and gave it back without him seeing the bottom card for control.
I believe he did flip it over, just spread the card out to find the 7 and then put in a point break, flip it over and perform the force. The tv edit probably cut that part out though
And Penn had his eyes shut during that process? He see and commented on the deck switch and likely would have said, “you had to have used ‘The Force’ to get me to pick that exact card.
Nice explanation, but you don't want to bend the bottom flap behind the 8 of diamonds (as you say in your video) because that will cause you to slide the forced 7 of diamonds to go between the 8 and 9 instead of the 6 and 8. You want to fold the flap in front of the 8 (so it's below the 8 and above the 6.) You should have up jogged the 6 of diamonds (instead of the 8) and folded the flap behind the 6. Thanks for the detailed video!
Nice job, Steve. Thanks. You are EXCELLENT. I really like Shawn. He is a FANTASTIC magician. I havent heard much about him lately. I hope he is well. Keep shakin', Steve.

I hadnt seen him on youtube or anywhere, but he is a busy guy, and he doesnt sleep, lol. Thanks again, Rob. I hope you and your family are doing great. Be safe and well. @@RobEvanstheMysticBovine
Excellant tutorial. Very impressive. I have used this idea for years now, BUT, without the gimmick or deck switch. These two subtleies make all the difference. Unfortunately for me, i had never thought of this. My performance was simply to have the force card already in the prepped deck and have this deck in plain sight all the time (card was not signed). Palm out the forced card, hand out the deck to show card is gone, then have spectator open sealed deck to find their card inside. Much more convincing with this method. Thank you so much for sharing.
Finally I can get some sleep! TY! It's hard to believe Penn fell for a physical force, but I have seen Shawn pull this before and he's very smooth, so maybe.
I feel like I'm too stupid when I couldn't follow what the spectator was supposed to think in the original trick. I do understand that you pull back and forth deck switches, but somehow the missing advertising cards that are with another pack that is not in play are supposed to prove that the pack you pulled that isn't perfect was in fact untouched. Somehow the deck switches shown just make me more confused about what you were supposed to believe.
For a regular audience you would only do one deck switch. You switch the real brand new box of cards with the gimmicked box, allowing you to slide their signed card in and seal it up. The trick would end when you reveal that their signed card is miraculously inside a “sealed” box of cards. The audience would never know that you used the gimmicked box with the flap. Penn and Teller though, are not a normal audience. They are likely to want to inspect your cards/props after the trick. The second switch was to get rid of the gimmick box, so he could hand over the perfectly normal box to Penn for him to take back to his chair and examine. He used the advertising cards being in his pocket as an excuse to go back into his pocket and disguise that second switch. Penn and teller saw him do the first switch from real box to gimmick box, they didn’t catch the second one where he switched them back. As a result, they had no idea about the gimmicked box and had no chance to inspect it because he’d taken it out of play right under their noses. So they knew he’d switched decks during the trick, but because of the second switch, they could not figure out how that would allow him to put a signed card into a sealed box.
There is always more than one method to achieve the same effect. I don't know if you have figured out Shawn's but your method works for you. Kudos. B.T.W. missing link to download your file. Definitely "Like"'d and already subscribed.
I think, there's a method to palm the to-be-forced card until the selection process starts. As the cards are face-down, he can just let it slip in at every moment.
I'm always impressed when the inventor of a trick shares it so freely, especially when the trick fooled so many and could have been sold for a tidy sum.
4:25 Actually, you can also see the red side of the box flashing through his fingers. But that's too far for Teller as audience and Penn can't see it either.
Amazing video. But do you have a totourial (or could you make one) for a deck switch that can be used in a normal pefromrnce without the use of a sharpie, table, lap or coat? One that I can use standing up
Also should mention. Penn checked the box for any cuts on the box and wrap as part of the act so I don't think this is he did the trick because Penn would have noticed the cuts in the plastic.
I always though the second deck was rigged in a way. It wasn't completely sealed. When he tilted it towards himself the cards would come out ever so slightly so he could quickly locate the picked card spot, switch the two cards and pull out the other card before resealing the deck on that one side of the deck that the seal is not in place on.
So the whole trick relied on a classic force to a magician? Lay people are way easier to fool with a classic force. Had penn thumbed one card further the trick would be ruined. I don’t think Shawn would rely on that, or at least had another out
This is clearly a classic force, and it seems like there's no out in situations like this (it's not like you would do a different trick, and if he were to use a different force that would be suuuper spotted by Penn & Teller). I think Shawn is actually just extremely skilled at the Classic Force. 😅 I've seen people extremely good at it. Look at Steven Youell's classic force for example: ua-cam.com/video/vKeVZI9In1k/v-deo.html
On the FU performance, there is NO way he'll have the time to locate the 7 of diamonds (even if their back were marked) before going into the classic force, it's less than a second after he got the deck back from Penn that he begin to spread them to force de 7 of diamonds. I feel something is missing from this otherwise extremely well done reveal video.
Good explanation, but he didn't force the 7 of diamonds. Also, Penn checked very good the bottom of the box. If only the corners of the plastic wrap were glued, he would have definatly noticed it.
@@steventaputoro Not in the Penn and Teller FU episode tho. Penn shuffeld the deck and Shawn didn't look at the cards. But anyway, this is still the best explanation I've found yet. Kudos
@@amFortunate Unfortunately, they edited this out - Shawn flipped and spread the cards then probably said something like, "let's see if they're all mixed", quickly located the 7 of clubs, and put it in position for the force.
@@billnollit’s probably more likely Shawn used a locator card so he could get a brake without going through the deck. Likely either a breather or a short card.
Wrong! He let Penn shuffle the cards right before he picked his card, so Shawn wouldn’t possibly have the 7 of diamonds located if Penn had just shuffled it.
There is a flaw in your explanation. Personally I feel like there has to be a force and I do something similar. However unless they cut out the part where Shawn looked at the deck to located the 7 of diamonds, it seems as though he takes the deck back and has penn immediately touch a card. However I think Penn would have noticed him catching a glimpse and certainly would know he was classic forced. If he knows it was a force, then he and Teller should have come up with some idea how he got it in the deck
Lot of holes in the explanation. However, because of the edits, and several camera changes in the original broadcast, thigs you couldn't see are definitely explained.
Whether or not he used a different sort of force, Penn might have known what he was trying to do and just played along anyway, he's not trying to spoil the trick.
Back in my day, teaching another magician's creation would have gotten you beat up. Smh... This is crazy. People do anything for content. There's got to be a super low percentage of viewers who will actually attempt to perform this bit. Does SF know you are teaching his effect? Not knocking you mate, you seem like a great guy. I just don't understand why magicians think it's cool to teach other magician's material.
Yes…Posting Has affected my routines a couple of times with different tricks. There are “How to tutorials” done with about 8 different individuals on UA-cam.
This proved to me that "Fool Us" was a sham. The trick was available in magic stores years before he performed it on the show. I saw it performed by an amateurish magician working behind the counter at one of the Olde Towne Magic Shops in Orlando, Florida.
The layest of laymen here. Doesn't it seem too risky to try to force Penn a card? I would have thought that Penn wouldn't fall for that. He purposefully signs his name differently every time, and (almost) literally knows every trick in the book.
And a supposed expert magician like Penn didn't realise a card was forced on him, and missed the deck switch right before his eyes. P&T aren't so great, neither of them can handle cards or even shuffle properly.
But Penn did catch the first switch, he said so in the episode. Also, Shawn has won a world championship of magic. He was on reddit last week and when asked if he could force a card on any magician he said 'It would be arrogant to say "yes", so I'll just say "probably" '. Any magician knows what a classic force is, but that doesn't mean they catch it 100% of the time, especially when it's one as clean as Shawn's. Penn originally was fooled by it, and initially on his podcast said he thought he had a true choice. When he talked about it later, he realized it must have been a force.
Revealing a trick as good as this one (that too a marketed item) to the layman on UA-cam is not good for the artform ... It just kills the "magic" out of the performance. Just to gain some subscribers you're ruining the artform. Did you take any permission from Shawn to share HIS trick out open in UA-cam ? Bruh create your own trick if you think you're too genius ! And then reveal and teach on UA-cam. I don't know what's wrong with people like you on UA-cam revealing marketed tricks without permission!!!!
I don’t understand how this fooled Teller. I get that Penn was distracted signing the card but it was so obvious it was deck switch to a gimmick deck. And was even more blatant that this “brand new” deck didn’t have advertising cards in them.
Thank you but your explanation is Overkill with multiple times showing it over and over. Your explanation Said nor Showed anything about How it was done with a cellophane sealed deck.

How does Shawn forced a card from a thoroughly mixed deck. He doesn't even flip the cards over to locate where the 7 of diamonds is.

I think, there's a method to palm the to-be-forced card until the selection process starts. As the cards are face-down, he can just let it slip in at every moment.
no, this was edited out... see my response above...
How can you guarantee the card will get pushed back into the deck precisely there?
Also, wouldn't the bottom of the deck have the plastic wrap cut?
Theres not even a single snowball's chance of me even trying to learn this ❤

The person who made this video did NOT invent the trick. And Shawn does not sell it. And this video is only a guess at how it was done.
Did Shawn give you permission to make this video?
so this trick only works with the 7 of diamonds?
Lolol

Amazing video. But do you have a totourial (or could you make one) for a deck switch that can be used in a normal pefromrnce without the use of a sharpie, table, lap or coat? One that I can use standing up

Not the same in the slightest. Totally different.
Also should mention. Penn checked the box for any cuts on the box and wrap as part of the act so I don't think this is he did the trick because Penn would have noticed the cuts in the plastic.
I don’t think this is correct. Because if he pushing that card into the deck, how does he know exactly where the 6 and 8 of diamonds are?
Also, he didn’t do a force. He told him to touch a card and pull it out. After Penn shuffled them.
You should watch the tutorial :)
So you’re saying that Penn somehow missed him looking through the deck and was victim of a classic force?
@@CaptainVideo1960 He didn't have to look at the deck. He manipulated the card where he wanted it to be.
You don't explain how the 7 of diamonds gets in between the 6 and 8 of diamonds.
You want to tell me he blindly put the signed 7 perfectly between 6 and 8? And he let Penn inspect the bottom, which seemed to be sealed perfectly?
Have you even watched the tutorial? 😂
I was wondering about this trick. Thank you for this explanation.
Question: Why do you keep saying "between the 9 and the 8" for where the 7 goes?
Sorry I cant count 😂
I always though the second deck was rigged in a way. It wasn't completely sealed. When he tilted it towards himself the cards would come out ever so slightly so he could quickly locate the picked card spot, switch the two cards and pull out the other card before resealing the deck on that one side of the deck that the seal is not in place on.
Did you figure this all out by yourself? Because if so then you are a genius.
Where I come from that is called an "exacto knife" : )
You didn't answer how he got the 7 diamonds back in the new deck order next to the eight diamonds.
Rewatch it. I explain it clearly during making the gimmick.
agreed - I was lost from the first step...
So the whole trick relied on a classic force to a magician? Lay people are way easier to fool with a classic force. Had penn thumbed one card further the trick would be ruined. I don’t think Shawn would rely on that, or at least had another out
Also penn shuffled right before. Do you think he had the 7 palmed?
@@bjornahbel801 Shawn claims his palming sucks. Not sure if he would use it in front of such a large audience
This is clearly a classic force, and it seems like there's no out in situations like this (it's not like you would do a different trick, and if he were to use a different force that would be suuuper spotted by Penn & Teller). I think Shawn is actually just extremely skilled at the Classic Force. 😅
I've seen people extremely good at it. Look at Steven Youell's classic force for example: ua-cam.com/video/vKeVZI9In1k/v-deo.html
On the FU performance, there is NO way he'll have the time to locate the 7 of diamonds (even if their back were marked) before going into the classic force, it's less than a second after he got the deck back from Penn that he begin to spread them to force de 7 of diamonds. I feel something is missing from this otherwise extremely well done reveal video.
Where does he ditch the gimmick
Good explanation, but he didn't force the 7 of diamonds. Also, Penn checked very good the bottom of the box. If only the corners of the plastic wrap were glued, he would have definatly noticed it.
It was forced 100%. You can see him force it in other videos. If you watch my tutorial you see he switched the boxes aswell

Wrong! He let Penn shuffle the cards right before he picked his card, so Shawn wouldn’t possibly have the 7 of diamonds located if Penn had just shuffled it.
Yeah. And then forces the 7 diamonds. Not hard to do 🤙🏽
How can he possibly know where the 7 of diamonds is if Penn just shuffled it?
@@mtdouthit1291 There are multiple methods. Most magicians know how to do it 🤙🏽
I was able to cipher that trick 4 years ago and recreated exactly like your demo ! it is a masterpiece
There is a flaw in your explanation. Personally I feel like there has to be a force and I do something similar. However unless they cut out the part where Shawn looked at the deck to located the 7 of diamonds, it seems as though he takes the deck back and has penn immediately touch a card. However I think Penn would have noticed him catching a glimpse and certainly would know he was classic forced. If he knows it was a force, then he and Teller should have come up with some idea how he got it in the deck
This makes no sense because how can you fool anyone into thinking it's an unopened deck if some of the cards are missing?
How can you fool someone into thinking it's an unopened deck if it has their signed card inside it? It's part of the trick lol
Lot of holes in the explanation. However, because of the edits, and several camera changes in the original broadcast, thigs you couldn't see are definitely explained.
What blows my mind is how he did such a simple, elementary force on Penn Jillette
I'm pretty sure, he did another method to force the card.
Whether or not he used a different sort of force, Penn might have known what he was trying to do and just played along anyway, he's not trying to spoil the trick.
Great work. Great work! 💥👍
Back in my day, teaching another magician's creation would have gotten you beat up. Smh... This is crazy. People do anything for content. There's got to be a super low percentage of viewers who will actually attempt to perform this bit. Does SF know you are teaching his effect? Not knocking you mate, you seem like a great guy. I just don't understand why magicians think it's cool to teach other magician's material.
Yes…Posting Has affected my routines a couple of times with different tricks. There are “How to tutorials” done with about 8 different individuals on UA-cam.
First one who did this was Cyril 10+ years ago
Versions of the signed card in sealed deck have been in print since at least the mid 1950’s
Big fan, Love how he pronounces "deck". thought he was saying Dick switch for a minute there
Now THAT'S a magic trick
Tommy Wonder would be proud of you!
But Penn shuffled the deck, how does shawn force a card on Penn ?
Cyril Takayama done it 15years ago.. 😒
Yeah this performance? ua-cam.com/video/nRG5rezoT84/v-deo.htmlsi=c_xrtW2hf2Yngvqb
There was no second deck switch.
This proved to me that "Fool Us" was a sham.
The trick was available in magic stores years before he performed it on the show.
I saw it performed by an amateurish magician working behind the counter at one of the Olde Towne Magic Shops in Orlando, Florida.
Your style can be easily seen. I dont think that's the style did to penn and teller
That’s awesome! Thank you!
Whoa!
I have seen Shawn do this a number of times live and on TV and it fools me every time. I never would have thought this is how it is done.
Thats awesome 👌🏼
Beautiful
Without explaining the shuffle, this is an incomplete video.
Simple card control after the shuffle. Most magicians can do this easily.
Awesome. ❤
The layest of laymen here. Doesn't it seem too risky to try to force Penn a card? I would have thought that Penn wouldn't fall for that. He purposefully signs his name differently every time, and (almost) literally knows every trick in the book.
And a supposed expert magician like Penn didn't realise a card was forced on him, and missed the deck switch right before his eyes. P&T aren't so great, neither of them can handle cards or even shuffle properly.
Penn did know about the deck switch and force. That wasn't what fooled them.
But Penn did catch the first switch, he said so in the episode. Also, Shawn has won a world championship of magic. He was on reddit last week and when asked if he could force a card on any magician he said 'It would be arrogant to say "yes", so I'll just say "probably" '. Any magician knows what a classic force is, but that doesn't mean they catch it 100% of the time, especially when it's one as clean as Shawn's.
Penn originally was fooled by it, and initially on his podcast said he thought he had a true choice. When he talked about it later, he realized it must have been a force.
Neat
Revealing a trick as good as this one (that too a marketed item) to the layman on UA-cam is not good for the artform ... It just kills the "magic" out of the performance. Just to gain some subscribers you're ruining the artform. Did you take any permission from Shawn to share HIS trick out open in UA-cam ? Bruh create your own trick if you think you're too genius ! And then reveal and teach on UA-cam. I don't know what's wrong with people like you on UA-cam revealing marketed tricks without permission!!!!
wow after so many years , finally i got the answer 🤗
This procedere does not work
lol ok
I saw this just some hours ago. So I haven't talked with him about that yet.
A what switch? Good video, otherwise.
Newsflash. The rest of the world have different accents.
Freaking brilliant!!!!
brilliant!
Get extractor from Alakazam.
Nice
This is one way to do the trick, but not the method. Watch the video of fool us
WOW 😮
Still doesn't explain how he put Penn's card into the gimmick deck in new deck order and remove the card without Penn's signature.
strange as i was watching this episode online earlier today, bizarre not even on youtube so freaky how this video came up
I don’t understand how this fooled Teller. I get that Penn was distracted signing the card but it was so obvious it was deck switch to a gimmick deck. And was even more blatant that this “brand new” deck didn’t have advertising cards in them.
Thank you but your explanation is Overkill with multiple times showing it over and over. Your explanation Said nor Showed anything about How it was done with a cellophane sealed deck.
Ah yeah it does…
Maybe you should come up with your own ideas instead of ruining other peoples’
It just sounds like you’re guessing lol. This explanation made no sense
Then turn captions on. No guess work here bud
I thought Reacher was a sniper!!!
I have never seen advertising cards inside a deck ever
You need to open the box.
Where are you located? North American bicycle decks contain two advertising cards and two jokers.
