Penn & Teller: Are We Live?

[learntoskateaustin]

The real magician here is whoever got Penn's hair to comply with this trick

[excusemebutfuckyou]

@learntoskateaustin even more so on Penn and Teller get killed

[TheDyingPunk]

that would explain why they looked so weird

[IoEstasCedonta]

...I don't get it... was there some sort of mirror assembly, or were the audience just playing along with the joke?

[nthomas87]

@IoEstasCedonta -- they're upside down. and the audience is engaged because they know whats going on and its still funny.

[andr00123]

found out 1:30 in :)

[yillow1]

they look so weird. Like early 20's late teens

[LouFarlow]

I figured it out about a minute into the video. That was a pretty funny joke.

[frithar]

They look like puppets-- why do they look so funky?

[nthomas87]

@frithar -- they're hanging upside down.

[Elsoddo]

SPOILER!!!

They're hanging upside down if you couldn't tell.

[Dylanian777]

@Elsoddo wtf dude

[Elsoddo]

@Dylanian777 I commented befor the video ended......yeah, mistake.....oooops?

[topituulensuu]

Only got the trick mid way through, but I sure thought that P & T looked odd

[metallicamegadeth11]

Tellers face when hes hanging upside down kinda looks like the midget who played Willow lol

[B4TimeB3gan]

Everyone Watch The Pink Girl Fails

[kabloozie]

they can't do this trick anymore - when you're 50, gravity does mean things to your face.

[jakedude11]

woah...what a head rush.....:> pftchtfpfhtchcfpthcppffhccttph­htffpffhcctt XD

[GunnerSlave]

Tellers face looks ridiculous here haha. All his face fat becoming distorted. Very clever trick though

[MMMowman23]

I knew they were upside down at the start. Kind of obvious due to the audience laughing 

[GunnerSlave]

These guys are so original. Loved their Fool Us show

[sythax]

@PissedPlayinPimp HAHAHAHAH URSOFUNNEY

[butchermachine]

@TairyGreen89 it's the fat on their faces

[TairyGreen89]

they look a lot different hanging up side down

[hall0833]

Please keep flagging kingofkards91's comment as spam so as not to ruin this GEM for everybody who has never seen this.

[mikerodeman]

roflmfao

[funx24X7]

I thought their postures were a little strange. Good stuff.

[jacobcoolio]

@vanletterbomb lol

[jacobcoolio]

lol

[Vanletterbomb]

Using magic outside Hogwarts will make the ministry of magic very angry......

[jordanhackney]

I had to see this when i saw that 10 second clip on the SNL special!

[fffentoozler]

@jordanhackney Me too! :) It was a great special.

[GhostInTheShell29]

Penn and teller are great at making you laugh at yourself :p I didn't figure it out till just before the end and i was like ohh... now it all makes sense and then they show you classic.

[djanss]

Here's the secret, unrevealed for fifteen years: It's an angry sarcastic in-joke aimed STRAIGHT at David Copperfield, for his "airport" disappearance, which could only be done on TV (with cameras)--And why TV magic specials don't say "No camera tricks" anymore, but "Everything you see is done live" (Cheat!)

Too long to explain, but P&T also sarcastically parodied Copperfield's airport trick with a handkerchief and a shaky camera on their Egypt special--Betcha can't guess how they did it. :)

[BritishAlienCompany]

They did this in their 1989 film :D very funny x

[Theriomalstrom]

I thought Penn looked a little bloated....

[boss1001]

Woah. Now that was cool.

[fredigood2]

i fell sick just by looking at them being upside down so long hahaha

[Mysterious0Bob]

Penn sounds really nasally hanging upside down.

[EamonnMurphy00]

This is incredible. I can't even imagine how uncomfortable that must be.

[TheGhostlysoap]

Jesus, they look so young!

[KingOfNynex2003]

that's because this was taken from a tv show in the 1980's the reason they look so young is this was taken almost 30 years ago now.

[drmichorvath]

@KingOfNynex2003 Dude, you are thinking of their movie in 1989. However, this was filmed more recently, just look at Penn. They have performed this many times.

[TheGhostlysoap]

Jesus, they look so young!

[blackrainuponus]

David Blaine is a hack.

[MickeyLove01]

It fooled me because Teller really does have upside down eyes

[1pokerknight]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH my god i can't believe i never saw it. i didn't realiize until 3:30 they were upside down

[NoahRobertMiller]

Penn looks about to puke.

[hossoneninesixtwo]

as you get older u can tell gravity is pulling ur wobbly face bits upwards....

[cerealrulz]

That is so clever *****

[irresistablejewel]

But can Debbie do this....?

(Priceless)

[olddeuteronomy]

A huge hint was that the cup he was drinking from had no heft because it was empty, but at first I just assumed it was distraction.

[DanielRI02]

Whoa mindfuck at the end

[ohjoy973]

IT'S THEM! they're just hanging upside down so they look really weird.

[MatthewTheShortKid]

@kingofkards91 and this is from the 80s

[TheWeasel]

@kingofkards91 That, and they're about 20 years younger at this point.

[ricado7535]

@kingofkards91 spoilers*

[loushmr]

@kingofkards91 YOU RUINED THE TRICK FOR ME

[donnomar]

@kingofkards91 its not really the fat, I think its the blood, their faces are all sore cause the blood accumulated at the heads for hanging upside down.

[DazedConfused989]

OMG I thought Penn had gotten hella fat until i realized that that isn't him

[shorty962]

that is him, his neck fat is sagging giving off the illusion that he is fatter or a diffrent person.

[SammyD96Alwayz]

i swear that isnt penn and teller

[kasperhauseredux]

Debbie McGee - lol!

[MugenMag]

i guessed the end the first moment i seen it

[firexsound]

I thought their faces looked fatter in the beginning but just shrugged it off... that was very clever

[LibertyCrusader]

I find it hilarious that what made me figure it out wasn't any of the movements (since it WAS TV I couldn't be positive they weren't employing any camera tricks, although I trusted of course they'd be forthcoming about them), it was how stuffed up Penn sounded and how puffy their faces looked! I kept wondering "they can't both just have a cold, this is the trick" and when he ate the scone and half-choked, I got it.

[naijfboi]

I remember seeing this as a kid and being truly amazed

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

"ARE WE LIVE?!!"

"YEAH!!!"

[zippidy0]

llol

[SickOfFashion]

Worked it out right at the first card bit. :) I thought their faces were looking a bit puffy...

[MagicGuy411]

how can you hang upside down for over four minutes

[gamerguy00]

Heh, I bet they are hanging upside down xD

Well, he wasn't lying, it was live, and it was un-edited xD

[tujefe01]

YEAH!!!!

[WeaselVideos]

So clever :P

[xSJNxJewBoy]

took me a while to figure out but aroun 2:45 i found out they was haning up side down XD

[mindfreak172]

I thought both of them gain some weight.LOL

[JedoDre]

This must hurt your head after a while

[Nirad007]

i agree and your knees

[fabioproductions]

comon guys dont spoil the trick

[fabioproductions]

no wonder they're necks were stiff lol

[xxx649]

if they were upside down....how could the paper cup stay on the table?????

[crustu]

Because there is a magnet under the table. Pause at 3:50 and you'll see that in the cup there is a magnet and of course, no water. That's  why the ring also stays and doesn't fall.

[xxx649]

tks a lot man!!!!!!

[crustu]

No prob :)

[fabioproductions]

magnet

[bcarrahe]

Social darwinism at its finest

[dixonhpboosh]

@xxx649 Because there is a magnet under the table. Pause at 3:50 and you'll see that in the cup there is a magnet and of course, no water. That's why the ring also stays and doesn't fall.

[onegrayghost]

Once again The Masters of Deception. Brilliant.

[Snrub08]

didnt think once they we're upside down

[Valentinwar90]

They have really practiced that upside down thing. Their skin isn't even red after all that time. Penn & Teller rock 8D

[Corneil1]

Yes! I love this bit! Thank you!

[UnluckyGambler]

lol i felt like their faces looked weird, near the end i got the idea that theyre upside down.
