Didn't fool 'em, but you DID give them a performance to remember. And honestly, in the end, making the audience feel something is the best thing a performer can do! Very well done and I wish you the best as you continue to move forward and inspire so many people in this world!
Sometimes I will watch a P&T Fool Us act and wonder to myself why it was ever booked on the show, as it had no chance of fooling them. This act drove home the point that there is more to the show than the question of whether the performer gets the trophy. You may not have fooled them, but there is no question as to why this act deserved to be on the show.
The whole idea of the show is not about fooling P&T. That's just the hook to make people watch the show. The real point of the show is creating a platform watched by a mass audience to present the best magicians perform their acts.
Most was code. "Choked up" "jumping over things" "hand dexterity" "pulling it together" (techniques) "another jazz musician named macdonald" (not a musician, a magician famous for his four aces trick). EDIT: Penn is also a father, not sure about Penns story with his dad. But as a father I can imagine Penn thinking of his kids.
What a truly special performance. Fool Us isn't about fooling. Never had been. That is merely a context to celebrate magic and those who perform it. And this is very much a performance and performer worth celebrating. Perfect.
I've chatted with a few magicians on their UA-cam channels, and they all agree that the real prize is just being able to go on the TV show. The prize for fooling P&T is a trophy and a chance to be the opening act at their Las Vegas show, but the prize for just being on the TV show is to perform their routine and get their name out there to an audience of millions of people worldwide. Plus, the added bonus of being able to upload their professionally recorded routine to their UA-cam channels, because P&T actually have it stipulated in their contracts with Warner Bros that all magicians are able to upload their performance to their own UA-cam channels.
I think you should get an award for the most touching act in the entire show. But speaking of touching, as a total non-magician, the flair in which you handle the cards is so satisfying to watch. It's like ASMR for the eyeballs! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
I used to think that watching P&T get fooled was the pinnacle of their show until I saw your act. Being able to move people emotionally is powerful and it brought this grown man to tears as well. I wish nothing but the best for you going forward and thank you for being both bold and vulnerable enough to put this out there for us to see--it's truly beautiful.
One of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen. Not only did you make P&T cry; I'm also very, very emotional right now. Thank you for bringing us such a beautiful moment.
P&Ts move to tears from the inability to work out simple tricks(guess they got to get performers so they dont have to work) from all the face palming involved in watching an episode!
I've just recently lost my Grandfather and this act really brought me to tears. Absolutely beautiful tribute to your dads. Just a wonderful performance ❤️
I want to say Puck as someone who lost my father years ago and who had a big impact in my life and how I approach it, your tribute to your dads moved me deeply and spiritually. The magic was also beautiful and you are truly a gifted artist and human being. Thank you for sharing your gifts of magic and your sincere and heartfelt tribute to your dads.
What an amazing guy. Humble and gracious. Thank you for this performance. I think we all felt a little bit of the love that you were displaying to your 2 dads.
Wow, what a beautiful repair! Under the watch of Orion. Remember, all these tribulations are just adding to the adventure and the stories to remember 🧡
Whatever the past was, sticks and stones and sometimes taking the wrong path, its what makes who you are. The true achievement is to take it to a good future. Beautiful show, and truly emotional. Well done.
Solid rutine, looked so good and clean all the way. I especially like the part where the aces are put in, in different ways, and vanished, boy that was a master in action.
I really appreciated your performance and tribute, Puck. Thank you for sharing that with us all, and I'm certain you've made your Dads very, very proud. I was moved by it, and I'm glad that you're helping "at risk" youths; you're one Hell of an inspiration, and you should be proud of yourself, too.
I didn’t know of you before this video and I’m incredibly impressed by you and proud of you for all that you’ve overcome. If your dads were still alive I can’t imagine there would be a dry eye between them. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Just another reason that I love this show. I enjoy it when P&T get fooled, but sometimes the acts that don't fool them are equally as fantastic. This one went above and beyond. Amazing act.
Aww Puck! That's the most beautiful respectful act I've ever seen. Your talk at the start was so moving, you have such an inspirational attitude to everything you have been through which I find more helpful than I can explain. The tricks themselves were amazing and beautifully done and the photos at the end man, wow. Both your Dad's are watching you from Heaven with smiles on their faces and pride in their hearts. 🙏❤️🕯️
This was a beautiful moment to behold. Seeing beautiful magic with a beautiful, moving story has changed my preconceptions about what you can do with magic. ❤
Amazing performance, I love the close up presentation with the smokey jazz music... It would have made a great opening credits sequence for a Hitchcock movie! I can see it now...
Fantastic telling us your story in a most beautiful way. If this does not touch every living soul, I don't know what does. Gracious gentle moves, wonderful music, not a word, which is magical, and then the reveal of your dads and you. You did it indeed! And Penn choking up which I've never seen before is just wonderful.
Phenomenal performance and extremely touching as well. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I'm not crying, it's the Onion Ninjas at their shenanigans again
Making Penn cry is a trick I'd never seen before. Great trick.
❤

He was on the show because of the sad story.
He was on the show because he had a life-journey around magic. This is a positive thing rather than focusing on the 'sad story' as the reason.
Actually, this was better than what I said. 😁
@@owdeezstrauz No. He was on it to try and fool Penn and Teller.
The whole idea of the show is not about fooling P&T. That's just the hook to make people watch the show. The real point of the show is creating a platform watched by a mass audience to present the best magicians perform their acts.
Damn man. This hurt. It just reminds me that I'm not the father that I want to be. But I'm trying. This was a nice reminder of that.
At least you're trying. Many don't. The fact you're concerned means you're probably doing better than most. Keep it up mate.
Was impressed to see Penn moved to tears. I know he's a real passionate guy but never seen him struggle like this.
Most was code. "Choked up" "jumping over things" "hand dexterity" "pulling it together" (techniques)
"another jazz musician named macdonald" (not a musician, a magician famous for his four aces trick).

Magicians everywhere: “Great Handling, classic move, beautiful handling and .... ok... ok... wait....
Someone’s cutting onions.... 😭😭😭”

That was an incredibly smooth performance, but that dedication to his fathers at the end really sent it over the top. Thanks, Puck.
"My name is Puck, and I'm here to...
entertain you.."
This is an absolutely beautiful performance. Thank you for sharing your dads with us all.
Nice Nice
Everything about this act was perfect. Amazing song choice, the pacing, every movement.
What a moving segment. This was genuine and heartfelt. Puck is a king. RIP to his fathers. ❤️
Card magic, jazz, and hands doing the talk... love it. They are proud, congratulations and have a nice day.
This is brilliant, SO GRACEFUL! The jazz made it even more so. Both of the Dads would be proud! I had to go back and edit this, BOTH DADS ARE PROUD!
P&Ts move to tears from the inability to work out simple tricks(guess they got to get performers so they dont have to work) from all the face palming involved in watching an episode!
I'm guessing the jazz was his biological father's work.
Beautiful performance, so much class.
So smooth -- just like the jazz.
Not only is your performance of this trick heartwarming, touching, and tear-inducing, but your hand movements are downright elegant!
Bro. Tears. I was watching this while tears are rolling down my face yet smiling at the talent and artistry.
Well done. Great routine.
Props, Puck. That was dope!
One of the most beautiful routines I've ever seen - was not expecting that bit at the end, that's for sure!
As an amateur magician and foster/adoptive dad, this routine really spoke to me. Thanks for sharing a little of your story
That was beautiful.
I also have a dad and a step dad and man did this performance hit me.
Than you for this.
Absolutely astonishingly amazingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
What an excellent way to honor your dad's. Enjoyed your performance very much.
Nice Nice
I've just recently lost my Grandfather and this act really brought me to tears. Absolutely beautiful tribute to your dads. Just a wonderful performance ❤️
Amazing how a magic trick can be so moving and beautiful.
I want to say Puck as someone who lost my father years ago and who had a big impact in my life and how I approach it, your tribute to your dads moved me deeply and spiritually.

Puck WOW man just great slight of hand POP's are proud of you looking down on you thanks for the magic.
a beautiful 'Ricky Jay' routine...very smooth with great jazz music behind...loved it!!!
What an amazing guy. Humble and gracious. Thank you for this performance. I think we all felt a little bit of the love that you were displaying to your 2 dads.
Great routine Puck, and an even greater tribute to your Dads!!!! Way to go..
Great job, Puck! You made your old men proud for sure. FWIW, you fooled me a ton.
Everything about this was beautiful.
Wow, what a beautiful repair! Under the watch of Orion.
Remember, all these tribulations are just adding to the adventure and the stories to remember 🧡
Wowwwwwww!!!!! I've never seen such amazing magic before you are excellent
Whatever the past was, sticks and stones and sometimes taking the wrong path, its what makes who you are. The true achievement is to take it to a good future. Beautiful show, and truly emotional. Well done.
Gorgeous! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your story and your talent. Blessings and Respect from Canada 🙏🍁✊🏽
Super magic. Inspiring story. Love it.
There are magic acts and there are magic performances. Your routine is the textbook definition of a performance.
Simply heart warming. Not only that, but the card manipulation was top notch as well. Your dads would be so proud!
Dads feel loved of tricks..very good. ❤❤
7:03 gotta love that look from Penn like "hope you were following him cuz I sure wasn't"
This was the most moving trick I’ve seen. And some of those moves making cards appear out of thin air after showing the hands were wild!
What a warm and wonderful energy you have puck. Wishing you great things.
That hands, very very clear. Your magic touchs the heart
Rare to see real magic in a magic act.
Thank you, Puck.
Solid rutine, looked so good and clean all the way. I especially like the part where the aces are put in, in different ways, and vanished, boy that was a master in action.
Proof that magic with a message should have been the standard practice decades ago. Outstanding.
That was BEAUTIFUL!!! Thank you!
I really appreciated your performance and tribute, Puck. Thank you for sharing that with us all, and I'm certain you've made your Dads very, very proud. I was moved by it, and I'm glad that you're helping "at risk" youths; you're one Hell of an inspiration, and you should be proud of yourself, too.
Such a beautiful touching& moving performance 🫶..I I appreciate Puck sharing his personal journey with us❤
Loved this act man, wish you good things
Nice little touching intro. A good redemption story is always nice on the ears. Oh, and the magic was good too!
Even if I know the mechanic of most of what you did. Being, myself, an adopted child. This routine chocked me up. RESPECT! And❤
Really great performance Puck.👍
Always enjoyed puck's magic. First saw him on a Cruise and he had me up on stage for one of his performances. Wont ever forget that great time.
thank you for letting us in on such a personal performance. so much love in that
i have seen best magicians here.. Thank you everyone.
That was a NICE performance bro.... saw it on TV, came back here and watched it several times.
Wow man. Your moves are so clean they cure covid! I never saw any of them! All good wishes for your family, too.
That is one incredible voice.
Moving performance and how inspiring that you now use your story and magical talents to the benefit of at risk youth! Keep up the GREAT work, Puck!
That's what art is for, to express yourself in a quality way!
Such a wonderful tribute. My eyes are watering here. Your dads would be SO proud. 🥲
Brilliant sleight of hand and such an inspirational story. Nice change from the ‘comedy’ magicians!
And a lot of palming
What an amazing person! Thank you for being in our art and in our lives!
I rarely applaud youtube videos but I couldnt even stop myself, that was awesome
Might not have Fooled em... definitely moved em... moved us all. thank you.
Beautiful routine! Thanks for sharing!
beautiful and sincere. thank you for sharing!
I didn’t know of you before this video and I’m incredibly impressed by you and proud of you for all that you’ve overcome. If your dads were still alive I can’t imagine there would be a dry eye between them. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
Well done! Smooth and fluid technique.
Just another reason that I love this show. I enjoy it when P&T get fooled, but sometimes the acts that don't fool them are equally as fantastic. This one went above and beyond. Amazing act.
Wonderful trick, wonderful act, great job all around.
Aww Puck! That's the most beautiful respectful act I've ever seen. Your talk at the start was so moving, you have such an inspirational attitude to everything you have been through which I find more helpful than I can explain. The tricks themselves were amazing and beautifully done and the photos at the end man, wow. Both your Dad's are watching you from Heaven with smiles on their faces and pride in their hearts. 🙏❤️🕯️
Absolutely beautiful....both Puck AND Penn.
this is beautiful moment or should i say magical moment. is not about getting trophy or fool P&T but to touch people with magic.
Beautiful routine, some classic moves flawlessly executed.
Beautiful tribute to your dads Puck ❤ bravo! 👏🏼
That palming at 1:02 was amazing! Even better than the very well executed two card flips and misdirections of the main show.
This was a beautiful moment to behold. Seeing beautiful magic with a beautiful, moving story has changed my preconceptions about what you can do with magic. ❤
Beautiful performance and thank you for sharing.
Amazing performance, I love the close up presentation with the smokey jazz music...
It would have made a great opening credits sequence for a Hitchcock movie! I can see it now...
Probably the most touching trick I have ever seen. Thank you. 🙏
Such a beautiful trick! wonderful job!!
Totally awesome! A very unique take on good old fashioned magic! Those are the best acts!
Puck may not have "fooled" them, but he moved everyone with that presentation. Frankly, I think that a higher achievement.
Fantastic telling us your story in a most beautiful way. If this does not touch every living soul, I don't know what does. Gracious gentle moves, wonderful music, not a word, which is magical, and then the reveal of your dads and you. You did it indeed!
And Penn choking up which I've never seen before is just wonderful.
Phenomenal performance and extremely touching as well. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
I'm not crying, it's the Onion Ninjas at their shenanigans again
Truly magic of illusion meets magick of the heart. Beautiful.
Really good SOH work there, sir! Class act 100%
That was awesome, please keep doing magic!
I am rarely left speechless. This is one of those times. Not by the magic, but by the man. Thank you Puck.
I love the performance. No doubt in my mind. Its was very good.❤⬆️
THAT WAS ONE AWESOME MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE !!!! One of the best deep thought shows on your program to the best of my knowledge.
You have so much to proud of, Puck. Without a doubt, the most beautiful trick I have ever had the privilege of seeing.
Wonderful performance and really touching tribute. I’m glad this show gives people like you a platform with which we get to discover you.
