This entire act is just so he can get Alison's number
Who wouldn't want Alison's number.
True true "mentalist"
😂 😂 😂
No, he didn't get her phone number. His phone got a call from "unknown caller".
Fair enough
He fooled them all, the main trick was to get Allison's number. Well played sir, well played.
OMG, could that be what Penn was getting at by "record, unlawful,...intention,...punch"? Seriously? What if Penn said, "Privacy, invade, hostess, burner, futile."?
She called without caller ID :)
Yes but too bad she is happily married….but then again so was many divorce
Yeah if it was his voice-mail we were hearing, his screen shouldn't look that way, it should be the swipe to answer/hang up
Put simpler, when somebody calls you, you don't hear your own voicemail in your phone :)
1) we are supposedly hearing the voice-mail from Alison's phone, which she placed in front of her mic
2) the "magician"'s screen still shouldn't look like this, because the call only goes to voice-mail if you hang up or don't answer for X rings. So his screen should be anything BUT incoming call 😅
If I were to do this specific trick, I'd record every possible combination. I'd give them a PBX phone number where I can upload an MP3 directly to the voicemail. And I'd have a friend listen for the choices and pick the proper corresponding MP3 to upload right before the call. I'm not saying that's how he did it but that's probably why Penn said "Provide friend bench password technology recording" I would be providing a friend on "the bench" the password and using technology, change the recording. Idk this "illusion" feels cheap to me.
I don't think you'd even have to record every combination.
These are simple variables, and you'll notice that every time a choice is provided in the voice mail message, it's at a comma pause point in the sentence, making it ideal for separately recording each one in a way that makes it sound like it is flowing naturally and unbroken. So he records one main message with correctly timed pauses where the variables go, and then records each variable as it would sound in its spot.
There has to be a tech solution now where a standard message can have its pauses filled with a bunch of prerecorded variables. I could see it being useful for multiple types of businesses that have quickly changing conditions to advise customers who could only get to a phone but had no data to get online.
So when they call at the end of the trick, they reach a phone app that just does this and he just set the variables during the trick as they chose them. Or it's an actual voicemail box, and there's enough time between the last variable and the call for this tool to call the box and record the correct message. Some variation of that, but X,Y,and Z chosen by the participants are just plugged in so that they are read in the message.
@@Morgan423Z Just to answer your question around tech solution of using recorded variables - I work in Telefony designing call flows and it definitely exists. I make it all the time, commonly for repeating customer's input back to them or reading account balances etc.
@@Morgan423Z I was actually thinking of a more funny and simpler solution... ehh, just call to your voice double (or autotune it to sound like you) and just have that guy read out anything you want live for you.
I’m heartbroken. You look like a nice guy and it was mildly entertaining, but the magic stopped the moment you picked up your phone.
If there is anything that P & T are known for, it is how they hate magic clichés. The "Mentalist" pretending he can really influence outcomes until the very end, probably pissed them off.
It's never impressive when your prediction is stored in a computer.
Penn's words include "Friend, intention, punch, and enjoy"
Followed by "Did you pick up my subliminal message?"
And the words "technology and recording". It's more of using technology to manipulate the outcome of the voice recording.
Why did the voicemail play on your phone? Thats not right! Your phone should not even be in the call, but a missed call should be displayed. And the voicemail should play on Allisons phone. Get better technology next time!
Why coulnt it be on allisons phone? she held it to her microphone so the sound could just as well come from hers.
@@deviles look at his phone. He is 'in the call', thats not how answering messages work.
@@Zzyzx- Ah, i dont know that...all phones look differently. But yeah it would be better if hed dclined the call to really send it to voicemail.
The voicemail didn’t play on anyone’s phone, it was recorded and played over the speakers for audio quality. I’m assuming of course, but he says “the producers” put his number in her phone, I’m assuming they also thought of the best way to relay the voice mail to us for his stage performance.
Allison is holding her phone against her mic, but, yeah that wasn’t voice mail, that was a call
It's 2021 and there are still magicians thinking that technology tricks are impressive. We have self landing spaceships you know.
yes in 2021 we have movie studios that can conjure up photo realistic moving images of anything you can imagine real or fantasy, yet some believe we have self landing spaceships.
if the reveal was him pulling out that handkerchief in his pocket and it was covered in teapots and had "phobia" in large letters written on it, this would be a trick.
He could never do that
Subliminal doesn’t work like that
@@andrewdickens7016 i know, and thats why this wasnt that impressive.
… a VIOLET handkerchief, too. Yeah… that would have been a dandy trick.
@@andrewdickens7016 You'd need a specialised printer, but why not?
Am I being totally dumb? Has the lockdown gotten to me and totally melted my brain? What I mean is, in the real world, isn’t the “answerphone greetings message” only heard on the cellphone of the person Making the call? So in this case, on Allison’s phone?
Instead, it comes through on HIS cellphone.... which is totally the wrong way around. I am correct., aren’t I?? If so, how does one make such a huge, basic mistake on a show as big as this?!?!?! No wonder he didn’t fool them!!!!!!
I could be wrong, but I believe playing the audio over the stage speakers was a choice by the producers and/or the magician for sound quality. Instead of actually making us listen to Allison’s phone.
Raccoon It’s not the survival rate that’s worrying, it’s the rate at which people get the virus. It’s easy to get.
If everyone got it, and 1% died, that’s just shy of 78 million people dead.
I do get your point, being scared is a terrible way to live, but I also understand wanting to slow the rise in cases as much as possible.
@@chrismatteson1312
That makes sense. But because it wasn’t explained (at least to us, the public), it looks quite ridiculous......
Viper Byte I’m only coming up with the justification because of your question. I found it weird in the moment too.
@Raccoon Canadian talking about what happens in other countries without having a single clue. The problem with this Virus is that has a very unpredictable incubation period, so you can be spreading a virus that could kill people for almost two weeks without knowing it.
It's like we now stop using condoms because now HIV is not as lethal as it was before.
This thing has killed 2.5 MILLION people and not more BECAUSE of this kind of protocols that prevent more people from being infected.
In countries in which health systems have collapsed, the death rate was higher. If you don't let your health system collapse you will prevent a lot of deaths and keep the death rate around the 2% we are having right now.
Imo, the reveal here kind of kills the trick. There are so many ways that message could have played through the phone that the only way to see it as magical is to assume the magician is telling the truth about it being the voicemail message. But the simple fact that the audience isn't able to tell if it's even a recording in the first place, makes it very easy to doubt. For all we know, it could be someone back stage just reading off of a script and just happens to have a similar sounding voice (the poor mic quality makes this easy to do).
its what penn said at the end
"Friend sideline distort technology"
Yes, but also I don't see the problem, why couldn't the voice message be set during the show? With him having an already prerecorded message with a few variations on tape, he just has to confirm it after he hears what A P and T chose... Is it really that hard to change your voice mail in the states? , I really don't get it. (I would assume not). But ofcourse there's million other ways it could have been done, but why bother if you can do it the most basic and straight forward way?... And oh boy , I really think this "magic trick" should be a standard test for your intelligence, if you find it impressive there's something wrong with you.
@@mrkitloin Don't forget the last two "Punch and enjoy!"
Your voicemail doesn’t play when you answer the call. Kind of a major clue it’s an app
Not a very good act but there was a subliminal message in the video which said "YOU WILL ENJOY THIS", so I enjoyed it!
I think the reveal to this is lost in a cut as we just see the phone unlocked in his hand. The phone was already open in an app which looked like a locked screen, the unlocking gesture would be him entering the selections which are then played back. In Penn's list was "provide password recording punch in"
The worst thing about this trick is that the recorded voice was not even recorded on the phone it was just played by the producers on stage.
I could do this , all you need is a bugged phone and a friend whose good at technology in the crowd .
Yea, one of the reasons that I dont really like magic that involves tech, is, that a lot of them is totally doable by some tech expert with zero magic knowledge. Doesnt feel like a magic trick, feels like a tech trick
Then do it if it’s so easy
Using some sort of sleight of hand to make the choices appear somewhere on stage is at least a complete act. Having a super advanced piece of tech repeat 3 words is pretty lame.
Easily done.
Prior to the show he had prerecorded the message with three ‘blanks’.
Then he also recorded his voice whilst stating each of the colours, shapes and words (that were to be flashed).
Whilst the show was being aired he had somebody elsewhere observe each of the three responses and then that person recorded his voice-mail message but with the correct answers included.
This work could be done at a remote location, or behind the curtain.
As..I have been watching Penn and teller...I could easily guess how he did it ..even I understood the code language of Penn..
They dislike acts like this.
It is a lot less "magical" by the characterization of mentalists itself. I dislike the final reveal in a too much technological format as well, because those things can be mingled with. I mean, someone who understands computers can thinker a lot with technology to do it behave in unexpected ways, AND someone who doesn't understand this stuff is usually aware that more tech-savvy people can "do weird stuff", even if they don't know how or what.
This falls shorts from something like an envelope with a written prediction, because everybody understands 100% how pen and paper works. The physicality of it all is what creates the impossibility and thus the magic
That’s not really true at all. Considering they’ve had multiple mentalists on each season and have spoke about their feelings on it during the show. They do not like “mentalist” acts that are used to con people. They don’t like acts of people that refuse to acknowledge that what they do is a simple parlor trick. They will not allow people to say that they really have mystical magical powers.
@@armydude441 okay Dick!
@@SKyrim190 Yeah, with a veritable super-computer in his hand, he managed to get it to say three words after they had been chosen and announced, there are a million ways it could have been done. Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology!
@@jeffsergeant I believe you mixed up your quote a little lol
Sadly, the only question left open by this trick is whether the programmer was competent enough to completely avoid the need for a human assistant. Quite the disappointment.
Some of the best code from Penn yet!
I love how they reveal it in code this show is so cool!
I’m still not sure which were the ‘important’ words in Penn’s list, and which were there just as ‘fillers’/to add a bit of confusion....... any hints??
@@angelogandolfo4174 Friend, Recording, and Technology were definitely three of them.
@@jonathanmellette8541
Ahhh yes, that makes sense.... 👍
It sounded more like a threat than a hint in secret code
Could be a great act if the voicemail part was changed to something more concrete/less technological
I don’t like tricks that lean too heavily on technology because it seems too easy. Another example would be when you have a man having the audience show him personal items, and a woman who knows the items details (serial number on a dollar Bill). Even if you don’t know exactly how they are doing it, obviously it’s some kind of technology.
Except that they had an act that did precisely that (The Evasons), without using technology. There are some parts of the act that I'm still confused by, but my best guess is that we didn't see a couple of things because of how the show is edited. In any case, Penn said it was refreshing to see it being done without relying on technology.
Sourdough was the word that stood out for me...
Probably because you saw your reflection in the screen 🤔
I'M JOKING! Jokes! 🙏
@@PandemoniumPirateRadio LMAO! That was good!
Notice, there is symptom of a soundboard. Right before he says Phobia, there's 2 clicks on the audio and "phobia" seems rushed. easy, there is a guy with a soundboard pretending it was the voicemail. he let that slip.
I think the only reason I couldn't be influenced is that my memory is so bad that I only can remember the last colour/object etc.
Polygraph operators are essentially mentalists with less integrity. The polygraph does nothing except convince the person attached to it that it provides the operator the ability to detect deceit, which it does not.
Did Penn tell the guy he violated the law?
Holy sh!t he walked away quickly, lol
From Penn's words, it sounds like unlawful recording without party consent. This was provided to a friend on the sideline, along with his voice-mail password, to insert pre-recorded clips from every possible choice. This is all speculation of course.
People in the comments are suggesting that he did it in the lames way possible, by playing it from his phone. I had a little more faith in him so my assumption was that he just changed his voice mail message while being on stage. Both ways are extremely lame, and do not deserve to be on the show. Even though the trick started ok ish, it ended completely anti climactic and unexciting . Waste 8 minutes of my life watching it...
@@stevebalmer8888 This trick honestly busts itself; if it were his voice mail, we'd have to have it play off of Alyson's phone. His own voice mail plays on his own phone when someone else called him, so it could only be one answer.
Respect to penn and teller for letting the magicians post their performances, but man, this trick sucks...
I just smoked a bowl, at 4:06 I thought "phobia" then Penn said it... I am scared
😂 This comment 😂
YOU are the King in the world of mental manipulation & persuasive magic. How you knew I smoked happily for years until that one hit turned all my chill into total paranoia & of course the moment it’s legal here, I have a phobia of being paranoid
BUT…TO ADD A 2ND ACT? How you keep full control over human reflexes at the same time? “Upon reading my comment…You are suddenly very, very thirsty…you will now take your 1st sip of water…you think my comment is hysterical for no reason…you forget how to swallow…you now will immediately release that sip water from your nose and bladder at the same time….
….TADA!”
Your mental control is truly a body blowing mind *f…
All prediction methods have already been invented in magic, and the involvement of technology unfortunately does not add another dimension to them, but significantly reduces the existing one. But I rather wanted to point out the so-called mental magic, which really exists, but it is possible to apply it in a close circle of friends and after the preparation of an "experimental" individual long before the performance itself. So "Berglas" may work, but it's a lottery bet. Therefore, it is never applied to the audience and classical magic is always preferred so that the result is one hundred percent. By the way, no flickering film with subliminal images like from Colombo it does not exist, even though it was believed in the 70-80 years. :)
Good job it was me been the victim I mean helper as I picked red melon force.
I didn’t pick any of those...
Was that Penn telling you that you violated the rules?
Why would they air it if he had?
Nope, he had different pass codes with different recordings.
Michael my good man, as a fellow performer I'm delighted to see a mentalist with such a modest, natural style. I really appreciate that you steered away from the common performance of 'Look at me - I am a god with special powers'. Honestly, you come across as so personable and open, it's a refreshing change from all the 'silent staring' with bogus psychic powers and the mandatory all-black outfit! I hope, as you inevitably become more popular after this performance, that you'll stick to that modest style because I'm sure a lot of people who think they don't like mentalism could be converted to fans by your approach. You have a superb speaking voice too with absolutely perfect projection from the stage. With the lockdown, if gigs are all cancelled as all mine are, I am certain you could get some voice work. Thank you for an entertaining performance.
I've only heard Penn tell two people to get off his stage. 😲
Who's the other?
@@BlielPol the other guy was running a trick that had a seance feel to it. The technique is used to make money off of grief. Penn was as polite as he was here but it was clear that he wasnt fooled or entertained.
Just hate magic like this, whatever magic that uses technology like tv or phones, it feels less “magical” to me
Yep, absolutely ridiculous . Also there are some tricks that would require you to prerecord all of the combinations and it might take you days... But with this one you can literally do it a matter of an hour. Feel like my time was wasted watching this trick.
Great trick Michael
This one is to easy to figure out. Just some software on the phone that listens for keywords and responds with the appropriate voicemail message. there are no subliminal massages on the screen.
i think you're reading to far into this. it's just some dude reading a script backstage. It wasn't even a voicemail message as his phone got into the call
Lol you are all reading too far into this. It is really not that hard to select a prerecorded voice message if you really wanted to from your mobile phone operator. Honestly trick is just du . mb
Has anyone else chosen the same words like me? 😮 Only the last one was "memory"
Can someone explain to me the words Penn used at the end to tell the guy he knows how he did the trick? I couldn’t figure out any sort of code or meaning. Thanks!
What amazes me the most is that, I too, picked the teapot and the word phobia when watching this performance!
You know what that means, right?
Absolutely nothing. :)
@@derencio thank you!
I picked red , elephant and utensils .
I choose the same, violet, Cup and phobia.
He says that TV producers ruined it. They forced him to hold the phone up, taking away the attention from Allison's, from where the message was coming out. If you check, Allison is listening to her phone.
*
How is done? I think, it is a programming question, not a magician one.
Some people say, he used a "friend". I think, the friend has to be on the stage, by the rules.
Since he had the phone in his hand before the call was made, he could put a three-digit code into it.
If not, while it was ringing, he repeated the answers very loud. A program can detect it and create the answer in about 0.000022 seconds.
If you look closely, there’s a pretty obvious cut after he says all three of their guesses out loud. His phone screen changes from “slide to answer”, to an OUTBOUND call on speakerphone. If Allison is listening to his real voicemail on her iPhone, why would HIS iPhone be displaying an outbound call, on speakerphone?
My question is, if someone calls you can you put your phone on loudspeaker as it rings coz I know you have to pick the call first to put it on loudspeaker..😂🤗😂😂
My guess is that the producers recorded that before hand so they could play it over the speakers while they made a mock phone call on stage for effect. But seeing how so many comments are about the phone call, I can see how it takes away from the trick displaying it to us like that.
@@chrismatteson1312I agree somehow but well there's no point for that performance for the Audience watching the show from home or other parts of the world😥
4:22 nice way to get the phone number
The weird part is that I also guessed violet and teapot
Me too
WOW he just rushed off the stage after that...Penn was so unimpressed. He actually said this could be his biggest trick ever lol this cheap stuff lololol
nice effect 👌
Winter Soldier intensifies
😂😂😂
Best tricks to get the host phone number, and she isn't some random chiqs 👍❤
This one is too easy, he had 4096 phones in his pants, with a mechanism to pick one depending on what Alison and Penn chose. The one for teller was obvious. They he just unmute the selected phone, trying at the same time to disguise the other 4095 phones vibration so that he is not looking weird.
Either that or hiring Troy McClure voice actor to mimic his voice. That also explains why he speaks do funny...
@@mrdibujante You may not be aware that the Troy McClure voice actor was murdered in 1998.
@@grnphroggy murdered? Or carefully hidden as a part of a plan for a magic show some years later?
The trouble with magic acts involving electronics like this is their opacity, which tends to spoil them for both entertainment and fooling purposes. I like mentalism and predictions, and I'd probably go for a lot of other stuff you'd do, but when the presto is via electronics, it's blah. Didn't Penn & Teller do a Bull's Hit on subliminal advertising? If not, they should.
None of the choices made matched with mine, in terms of what stuck out to me. Anyone else?
Mine were indigo, peace sign, diabolical.
Red, Axe, Force... I think I need to see a therapist now that I think of it
As is the case with all passe mentalism tricks, Penn was *pissed*
Technology makes things happen
I think he fooled them but all the "keywords" from Penn were all threats... Did anyone else pick up on, Punch Destroy Arrow etc. 🤣🤣
Deserves a trophy for lamest non-trick ever.
How did this even make it into the show? Must’ve been slim pickings.
Just... no. I get that it's an act, I get that it's part of setting up the mystique and all, but.. polygraphs are glorified voltmeters. All they do is measure skin conductivity, and the "lie detector" part is entirely based on the assumption that someone who is lying is going to sweat more. "Hokum" was putting it nicely. Now, again, part of an act, alright, great. If the audience is all clueless rubes.
Which, sure, magic tricks, ideal audience, and that's fine! It's entertainment, and usually pretty harmless fun! So far, no huge issue, just hard to suspend disbelief. The subliminal stuff isn't as bad; the entire idea is proven nonsense, but most people don't know that and it persists just like the 'we only use 10% of our brains' thing, no issues there.
But the phone. My highest level of technical aptitude is programming knowledge of QBASIC from high school 25 years ago and modifying sound files in Team Fortress Classic. The pauses around the keywords, the slightly altered audio quality... honestly? this trick's payoff feels _lazy._ I'm flat-out incompetent at both those skills and I can think of ways to get this done. It's more difficult than anything I could possibly do without months of learning new programming languages, sure, but the bones are there.
Sorry to say it, but while it would've taken more effort, an index of shorter messages would've done the same with a better ending. Take it as constructive criticism; this could probably work in front of a real audience, but the message sounds like an automated voice reading individual numbers out, and everybody's familiar with how that works.
Literally eating popcorn...
Get our largest set of scales, and a duck.
What’s up with screen at 7:29
He got is all wrong.
I picked Indigo, Cello & Melody :)
2:57 I saw you picking your nose back there blue shirt.
that illusion would be great if it would be an actual Voicemail and not something playing on his Phone.... IF only alison could have listen to that, because it was a real Voicemail which reacted on her Call it would be way more believable.
The real question, how can I leave such a long voicemail?
Anytime a phone is involved I'm not really impressed because I'm suspicious it's just technology- not magic. Taking advantage of ppl's general ignorance communications technology is not magic. Anyone could perform such a trick- it doesn't take any skill.
God that was lame...
My exact thoughts, the show has dropped the ball when the pandemic hit, but honestly this act was so lame, for the first time in so many years of watching this show I can say that this guy wasted 8 minutes of my life. I hope the show gets better.
GREAT performance!! This is such a cool trick!! Awesome job!
That was awesome! And he Represents Queens NY!
Why did you pick up the phone and still go to voicemail? Unless of course, obviously it wasnt voicemail at all.
I would’ve messed up his truck because I had “green lipstick error”
No, it wasn't a force, he had something prepared to send to an app or set up voicemail that would play the three words said by Alyson, Penn, and Teller. They could have picked Indigo, Umbrella, Mommy, and it still would have "worked".
Well done!
Hey man. Great Trick.
Wow, I don't think I've seen Penn so angry when giving the magician his answer to how they did their trick. I know he doesn't particularly like Mentalists or using terms like ESP, and yes, this trick had some issues, but he seemed REALLY agitated! Yikes.
Penn & Teller famously hate mentalism tricks. Especially if they can grasp it outright. It's a low-level style of magic.
Green Teapot Monster
What's yours?
Greg Rostami has an app that does just this
Thought just because P&T aren't as good with technology they couldn't figure out the obvious...still, balls for trying man
Could you explain Penn's response?
It sounded like Penn was telling him he broke the rules.
@@mikeiseastman No rule breaking, a few of the words were clues to the method I used. I look a little confused because he also covered several methods that I didn't use with those words.
Penn threw some key words about the method used. Technology will not fool them anymore xD
@@MichaelKarl "unlawful recording" maybe?
@@MichaelKarl hey, since you’re here, could you possibly explain why your phone was on speaker while Allison was calling you ? It appears that the voicemail is playing from your phone…which wouldn’t be true if Allison was calling you. The way this was shown on TV is very confusion. They specifically showed your iPhone being held up on speakerphone the entire time. When you call somebody, and the phone goes to voicemail…the receives phone screen simply turns off. Why would you show your phone screen with the speaker button pressed ??
What did Penn's words mean?
I agree with Penn, I usually groan when i hear “comedy magician” but this guy was actually hilarious. good stuff!
Green, Elephant, Reject. I'm impossible to read.
This is AMAZING!!! I saw Michael at an event and he blew my mind. Literally can't believe there's a science to this.
Science to subliminal forced selection? Nah. That's just the patter and distraction from trying to get you to think what other actual method there is.
Yeah... Sitting several hours recording every possible word and telling a friend to set the corresponding voice mail shouldn't be considered talent. But oh well, who am i to judge...
@@djhokage1 The working theory is that he didn't record hours of combos, but has an app on his phone that he inputs the three words into when he pretends to unlock his phone. The app synthesizes the words into a mimic of an away message. One major clue is that the message should be playing from Alison's phone and not his own.
I was surprised that Penn choose phobia when it was quite forced, he probably wanted to make sure he doesn't count on them dodging forces
Nothing was forced this trick was going to work no matter what the choices were
Violet played twice and lasted twice as long. The tea pot had violet color which was mentioned by Allison. Phobia played twice since lasted twice as long.
I actually would have picked totally different options
Nope, had nothing to do with it. Subliminal messages don't actually work. This was just a simple use of technology: he prerecorded all the different words that could have been chosen and the phone was set up to play the correct ones. Probably had someone sitting offstage listening and choosing on a computer which ones it should play.
This is a really lame trick. Tricks involving tech are usually just not worth it.
Cool trick anyways, congrats.
That's a long ass voice message recording
its an APP
i know you all have chosen indigo
This was an incredible performance!
This is incredible!!!
Idk if anyone noticed but -- Violet showed 4 times, Teapot is the color Violet, Phobia showed up TWICE but along side many words related to it such as TRAUMATIC, ERROR, MISPELLED, MONSTER, REJECT, TROUBLED etc etc.
Subliminal messaging doesn’t work like this no matter how much you guys think it does.
All these mentalists etc it’s just tricks with a mentalist gimmick - you can’t read or influence people in that capacity
It has to.be a goldfish
Or a cookie
Otherwise no trophy
How the fuck does this work bc I chose the same things for Alison and Pen. I got violet and phobia. Is that just a coincidence maybe?
Yes, that's just a coincidence. There were several thousand combinations possible, but the trick would have worked no matter what they had chosen. It wasn't a "force", it was some technology or friend that helped him get his answer.
These mentalists always claim they knew the answers before the reveal. But in fact he knew all the answers because they told him before he revealed he “knew” them.
I’ve never understood why these types of tricks fool anyone.
..how did he get the words into a recording? The interesting part isn't that he "knew" the words after they told him, it's that he had a seemingly pre-recorded message that already contained the words
