Penn & Teller: Fool Us S01E03 Part 2 of 4

[SPACKlick]

Only remotely good bit was the phone dropping to paper at the end.

[Sensko]

Poor guy, going up after Piff is just tough.

[thedrunkspandas]

Very unimpressive for the world champion of magic.

[magnusistaken]

Well, he's certainly no Piff.

[D2000000]

haha did he just reverse time lol that was pretty cool though

[ConradZaar]

Penn was very nice about it, but I'm not sure this guy really got the point of the show. He's got some style, I guess, but the act is basically just a quick series of fairly basic sleight of hand moves, and you don't have to be an accomplished magician to know that.

[legendariers]

The two most amazing parts are: the backwards part (where everything is backwards, kinda like how you reverse a video), and the part where the phone turns into the newspaper.

[Ant1Live]

This was a fun act, if anything. Nicely put together. 

[uwait]

I'll shuffle the video forwards and tell me when to stop

[GuIVslingerGaming]

It was somewhat clean but you could really tell what soma was doing

[UnoTangoGato]

Who else, read the comments, then went straight to part Penn and teller tells it straight.

[leekohl]

the only thing that fooled me was the paper tearing and stuff, all the cellphones were just sleight of hands and all that, not real impressed

[Snakke40]

...Classic acts but HOW did he move his suitcase?

[SourBananaVFXTests]

@Snakke40 im not sure if ur joking but if your not it was just remote controlled

[Snakke40]

@SourBananaVFXTests I was don't worry lolz...

[kurtjk01]

@Snakke40 Wires. Pulled from offstage.

[nelsyeung]

These are classics thats why many of us can see through them, infact we don't see through them we just know.. So "seeing" through them doesn't make him shit in magic. I personally love this routine, especially the time reversed bit.

[andyroo2540]

Entertaining but why did he think that would fool them?

[16m49x3]

he wasnt a noob, but all of his sleights of hand where obvious

[bighitta157]

this guy fuckin sucks i saw all his moves

[twilight0111]

Gawd ur all such ungrateful spoiled son's a biches, the magic act was amazing and well done, i wanna see one of u trolls get up there and do that ur self. Next time dont go around talking like ur some sort of professional who knows what he or she is saying just sit ur bich ass down and enjoy the show.

[MrBestieeeeex]

thumbs up if u came from, part 1 XD :O

[TardisEqualsLove]

Meh. I've seen better on the show.

Not too bad, though. :)

[QIgorecki]

I like the lean and realising he is beeing watched he stops and reverses the time

I wonder how is the time thing done exectly the rest is a filler

[Piemanthe3rd]

Very enjoyable, very skillful. Not the most complex magic, but in the end a well done performance.

[TEHsm1th]

His act really bored me

[Lot2rocks]

Can someone explain how he made the pieces of paper on the floor come back up, please?

[Draslin]

@Lot2rocks It's just a guess but probably very fine threads linked to the paper and a device which retracts the thread on command. I expect the paper itself is never actually put back together but hidden behind a loaded copy.

[soccerpinkgurl]

Not only is it kiddyish, its not even good slight of hand. I could follow how he did everything and see where he was putting everything.

[Zalman1337]

@soccerpinkgurl You have to admit the thing with the newspaper at the intro was pretty funny. He'd move it over his face and his face would change to something different and funny each time. I wish I knew how he did that because it's hilarious LOL.

[notme222]

@soccerpinkgurl I'm pretty generous on the acts and will accept a well-executed "simple" trick. But I have to agree with you that it was clumsy. Shoving the phone down his sleeve like that was so obvious I'd be embarrassed to do that as an amateur.

[MaddToHerOwnExtremes]

This is kiddy stuff. Simple misdirection, slight of hand and black string to move the suitcase and paper at the beginning. Disappointing, really.

[MrBetterOffDead]

I'm not sure how the cell phone and torn and restored paper thing could fool Penn and Teller. Lame lame lame.

[QofLife69]

Amazing performance regardless.

[EdMajinLee199999]

BOOOO, this guy isn't very deceptive at all.

[MegaZeroBlues]

I caught a few of his ditch's and load's. The most noticeable was near his neck on his right shoulder. You can see the phone tucked away in there pretty clearly.

[vjose32]

This guy was great but I expected a bit more from a world champion magician as simply sleight of hand wasn't going to fool Penn & Teller, but perhaps he was just looking for some tv exposure to put his name out there, who knows.

[doubleas2380]

This was uncomfortable to watch. I don't know why.

[rowseeden]

I liked Soma's performance, but it seemed to be missing something. Taken on their own, the tricks would have impressed me, but put to music in a theatrical performance as they were, the tricks lacked the suspense->surprise I enjoy the most from a magician's act.

[hawaiidispenser]

Best part of his act was definitely the lean shoes with reverse video simulation. Very nice. Unfortunately, the time spent on that distracted us too long from the newspaper restoration trick and made it seem fishy when it could've just been done so cleanly.

[MattHunX]

Oh, a Hungarian, aye? He's definitely been abroad for years. Couldn't have told his was Hungarian. And I can always recognize the typical bad English that is taught in this country. He's been out long enough to lose it, though. Excellent. He gets an applause for that alone.

[MattHunX]

@MattHunX One can only develop their speech like that by either living abroad, in an English-speaking environment for a considerable length of time (a few years, plus an affinity to learn the language properly), or listening to everything in English from early on, while staying in their country.

[gerandomiseerd]

He actually uses exactly the move that Teller shows in one of those vids. I think he did that on purpose.

[Redasflame]

that was very meh

[TheSkunkrocker]

Palm. Ditch. Steal. Load. Simulation. Misdirection. Switch. Before you go on a show trying to fool Penn and Teller, watch their Youtube videos... watch?v=oXGr76CfoCs

[cca211]

@TheSkunkrocker I LOVE THAT!! I love how they do a magic trick that can easily be done by other magicians but top them off!

[RandomTask3000]

I'm sorry. I usually wouldn't comment because I'm no expert, but I was not too impressed by Soma.

[jonjonjonmw3]

The wall-e soundtrack?

Really?

[xinwen4]

That was his FISM winning routine:) Fantastic!

[distmack]

I like penn & teller and this show, hope you can put all the episodes

[vjose32]

Wow, that guys slight of hand is amazing, reminds me of Lance Burton. No wonder he's a world champion of magic.

[reyreyfan11]

FIRS....forget it..
