[stratofaster01]

y duz teller neva talk

[DavoMagicMan]

i think he still shouldve gone Gazzo is just to badass

[anshulkamboj]

@8.51 add another orange

@9.57 he add big one in hat

[anshulkamboj]

@8.43 he add orange

[timmaaa07]

@anshulkamboj easy to pick it up when you know what is going to be under the cups after watching the video... btw when you are referring to a measurement of time, don't use a period, use a colon... (this thing --> : )

[Mac1634]

How could this guy have expected to fool Penn and Teller with a trick they've done a billion times in the same fashion? It was done really well though. I thought it was boring and standard and then-HOLY SHIT, SIX ORANGES AND A MELON!

[keeKKer]

@Mac1634 He didn't. Watch @4:36

[NairdaAU]

All of a sudden ORANGES!

[philster00700]

'I went from England to Europe.." lolwut

[XplosivCookie]

He should go to Vegas regardless :D

[pedazodeboludo]

Did this guy not google Penn & Teller? They've demonstrated the cups-n-balls trick a thousand times, with clear cups, etc.

[atomiclovekaboom]

@pedazodeboludo

I'm guessing he knew how much they'd love it

[PappeH]

From Vegas with tricks.....I would watch that. :)

[GuIVslingerGaming]

I literally clapped when he took out all the oranges and the melon

[imsacred]

Hilarious, but not too well done

i would still watch it, it was hilarious

[Katalyzt]

In my opinion his "palming" was not that good. :O/

Katalyzt

[atomicmrpelly]

That is a truly brilliant act, I wish I hadn't read the comments first and ruined it for myself!

[atomicmrpelly]

This show would be great if it weren't for Jonathan Ross.

[ohmygodnotthebees]

melon was in his shirt. thats why he loses the beer belly by the end of the trick.

[CrtlAltDlt]

WHERE DID THAT FUCKING MELON COME FROM?!!!

[Andyme91]

Oranges out of FUCKING nowhere! lol

[mrubercookie]

*SPOILER ALERT* watch the belt not the balls, what i mean by that is any time that he is at the table there is a belt that you can clearly see and when he steps away from the table it disappeared, and some times you can see the top of the basket that is on the belt

[NaLi2977]

08:21

[JaTochNietDan]

I saw him doing it all to be honest, it wasn't that perfect, I think Penn and Teller do it better.

[yevve1]

You can clearly see how everything is done... I got it like the first time...

[mrpolaroid123]

I don't think it's particularly funny to mock and insult your audience. He did the trick well, but he was rude.

[greenzoid2]

@mrpolaroid123 It's all for humour. He even says in his intro that he doesn't intend to offend anyone.

[gordon17freeman]

Skip to 3:07 to miss all the fluff.

[Epsilonic]

Haha wow, how he did the fruit I have no idea.

I wish P & T gave at least a very brief explanation of how he did that.

[DacKeith]

@Epsilonic As he gets the cups he put in the fruits 10:00 you can hear the cups clink and so as the others

[ConSmith1807]

That was brilliant. It certainly is the oldest trick in magic, but Penn is right that it's not completely about the trick, it's about the performer. Him, Penn and Teller are the best I've ever seen at this trick, especially the melon in the hat at the end

[YoonaNo1Fan]

bazzo funny fck

[warrenvazquez]

if they do it better than the judges can, does it matter if they fool them or not?

[Piemanthe3rd]

@warrenvazquez It does. A lot of people may do things "better" than Penn and Teller could, but they still know how it is done. Much as Penn said in episode 5, a tightrope walk is the same trick when done 4 feet off the ground as it is done 50 feet off the ground.

[warrenvazquez]

@Piemanthe3rd

it's absolutely not the same trick though. bad example. i'm not sure what you mean by that.

[Piemanthe3rd]

@warrenvazquez What I mean is, they can do that trick too. They may not do it in the same way, with the same style, or the same skill, but they can do it too, and thus know how it is done. And that's mainly the deciding factor.

[thisisnotdom]

Personally I didn't think this guy was that good... It was fairly obvious what he was doing.

[PERSONIFICATIONOFYAY]

Even though Fool Us reeks of the much hated X-Factor pseudo-Hollywood 'Pazazz' seen so often in ITV's reality shows, its subtlety is proof enough that it merely serves as a necessary backdrop to what is otherwise a fantastic concept of a show.

[shotta4lifeishere]

did he make a mistake at 7:10 or did he mean to show us that :S

[Divinenite]

@shotta4lifeishere accident i think

[MirageCards]

@shotta4lifeishere on purpose

[PerfectionIncarnate]

@shotta4lifeishere I assumed he meant to show us that.

[Ezhuks]

Just to make it easier for everyone, the performer intro starts at 03:08 while the actual performance starts at 04:28

[MadelnCanada]

awesome act

[enjayePL]

You stupid audience! LOL

[rcmeyerson]

He's not very good at the vanishes.

[TheFriendlyPig]

That woz Grite!

[SketchyBack]

The finish to every trick is the set-up to the next trick.

[ShahnamPersia]

9:51 to 9-56 he reminds me of Ricky Gervais

[TheSkiTurtle]

Watched the bit with P&T pissing themselves laughing about ten times xD

[damonkashu]

alright how did he get the fruit under there?

[damonkashu]

@damonkashu Never mind, I saw him struggling to get the melon into the hat

[ZolRing]

"Well this seem pretty standard, just a guy doing a ball and cup trick using sleight of hand nothing terribly spe-HOLLYSHIT WHERE DID THE FRUIT COME FROM?"

[mjkded]

gazzo was fantastic...as always.

[sleep1]

Dude, doing cup and balls in front of P&T is like.... doing anything in front of God!! lol

[Tsugo582]

I love how much Penn & Teller enjoyed the cup and balls thing.

[MrPlutarch]

i had to watch it again, the fruits part was just too brilliant

[2minutestomammoth]

I saw this live once, but the guy doing it failed, so this was all obvious.

[bobbfwed]

Good act, but stuffing the fruit into the cups and hat were done quite obviously.

[ROFLSoldiers]

ORANGE WTF ! LOL !

[yourfilmindustry]

i actually have this feeling, that he knew that he would not fool them

[hurbaga]

They actually explain how to do his treck(the cups) on Oprah in front of a shitload of people.

[ff7walkthru]

@hurbaga they also done it on there old brittish show and on friday night with Jonathon Ross

[ChrisSketch]

I was actually able to follow a lot of the sleight of hand for a while (although its tough to tell his real mistakes from his false mistakes), but I totally lost it when oranges started showing up.

[Squeezymo]

When the first guy smacked the second guy I am guessing that is when he shoved the card in his mouth.  They may remove the adhesive around the portion of the duct tape covering the mouth so that they can quickly get behind there.

[ardnega]

it would be a privilege for anyone to be able to perform their act in front of their peers whether it be magic or music or sports et al.

[JossJossJoss1]

stupid audience.... LOL

[jayjaygibbs]

LMAO when all that fruit appeared

[TheMrKibler]

The melon was good, a shame I saw him put the melon and the oranges in the cups and the hat. :P

[BryBlunt]

Penn and Teller know EVERY trick known to man...it's just a matter of which one was used. So, this show is about fame and publicity. And Vegas is just the icing.

[hauschxbAUWJHYB1]

i love Gazzo! "iits not the song, its the singer. and your the greatest singer we've ever seen"... what a comment from Penn

[MageAtYou]

The first guy is not funny, even I can follow where the balls go :S

[TheKhaiXiang]

He does not plan to fool them in the first place. He's trying to get famous. GENIUS.

[Huddiethegreat]

He was fantastic

[dangeresque429]

Damn I really want some tacos now...

[vjose32]

Great performance but it's not going to fool Penn and Teller which I thought was the whole point of the show?

[shaneshagger]

@vjose32 even if it doesn't fool them, it's great exposure for any performer

[Uprising771]

hilarious performance!

[theprophetzori]

He was a great performer and I liked him, but I have to wonder if some of these guys are actually trying to fool Penn and Teller, or just get their acts some publicity. There must be a hundred videos on YouTube of Penn and Teller doing the cup and balls.

I agree with Jonathon Ross though - the melon was perfect.

[BryBlunt]

@theprophetzori Teller knows EVERY trick known to man...it's just a matter of which one was used. So this show is about fame and publicity. And Vegas is the icing.

[Haltini]

@theprophetzori That's Gazzo - he is very well known to street performers, where both Penn and Teller started. I don't think he was trying to fool them, likewise however there's no way Penn and Teller didn't know him before hand. They would have known he was going to perform his cups and balls routine. Gazzo does sell courses and routines to street magicians that he might have wanted publicity for. This also seemed very tame, most of his actual act would probably never make it past the censors.

[BathTubNZ]

@theprophetzori Right, no magician would do Cups & Balls or the 6 Card Trick to fool Penn & Teller.

[WTFisJamieUp2]

@theprophetzori you are right but someone who can do a trick like that, that well deserves the publicity.

[GiantPetRat]

@theprophetzori I like that about this show, though- it's kind of a win-win situation for many of the magicians, and also a lot of them are fairly well known in their own rights anyway... so this program is more or less just a great load of fun. Nor are the announcers/Ross constantly hammering away at the "They could win a trip to Vegas!" thing, which can get SUPER annoying.

[TheBoldImperator]

@theprophetzori I think that a lot of the acts don't give a flying fuck about Vegas and just want to show their acts or spin on common acts on TV. And that's perfectly okay. Everyone's having fun, the acts are as professional and as smooth as silk, and Penn and Teller love it. The Vegas thing isn't really a big part of the show anyway - think of it more as a magical talent show rather than a competition.

[Kaireg]

@theprophetzori It may not even be just publicity (although that's not necessarily a bad thing), but just exposure and a desire. Namely, to impress/entertain Penn and Teller. A lot of them look up to Penn and Teller, and quite a few of those who enter are younger than P&T, so they've 'grown up admiring them', so if they were to entertain or impress P&T, they'd already feel like they've won a million bucks. The way P&T treat some of the acts, you can tell they genuinely enjoy some of the acts,

[Kaireg]

@theprophetzori and indeed, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if P&T admitted that a lot of these acts, while they didn't fool P&T, wouldn't still be great things. I'm sure a lot of the acts P&T would've loved to see go big, just because so many acts really are entertaining. Daniel Kramer, from one of the previous episodes, for example, has a great future ahead of him if he practices. Pretty sure they genuinely love to experience new/entertaining acts, even if they know how some were done...

[Kaireg]

@theprophetzori And even if the person doesn't win, if they do well they may still gain a fan following, which could lead to improvement in how well one is known by people. I myself have become a fan of quite a number of the people who have appeared on the past episodes, and I hope they only improve/get more well known with time.

[SeanOBriain]

brilliant.

[tarkvunder]

Gazzo!



[Syrick]

Yes!! Thanks man
