  • It's obvious that he has a box of cards instead of the deck after pulling the pen (you can see it at 4:35). But how the hell does he make that seven of diamonds show up backwards!?!?

  • i know how he does the trick iam macking he video now and upload it in an 1 hour or 4hour

  • I don't buy any of this Penn & Teller let some pass coz they want them in their Vegas show. If they want them in their show, they would book them anyway. Be nice if that line of reasoning would just stop. It's a tad insulting

  • Solution:

    4:23 - Magician puts deck into pocket.

    Pulls out new box.

    4:35 - He takes the seven of diamonds & puts it in a brand new box. Unopened but there still is a decent "magical" hole where the card can be introduced & places perfectly between the 8 & 6 of diamonds.

    *Notice the plastic seal is only on top of the box.

    It's all about quick hands, psychology & illusion.

    Props to the guy though.

  • @ObviouslyChris ur wrong mate. He puts them back into the same deck of cards that Penn chose from, thats the only way he can mark the position of the card Penn chose. That's also the only way he can remove the duplicate card (i.e. wud have to remove the other 7 of diamonds. Its more complicated that you say. Somehow he gets the original deck of cards into that new box.

  • this is my only awnser check his sleeve lol of his blazor

  • Anyone else getting annoyed with every person asking about the red nail.. Read the Suggestions they explain it several times under every video

  • This is weird, this show is like spawning a new type of magic. Magic for magicians. You purposely "slip up" in your presentation to misdirect a knowledgeable magician. That deck switch was a little bit too obvious. I'm an amateur magician and I saw that. But, I get the feeling that he wanted that to be obvious to a fellow magician...

  • I was curious why I always see Penn with a red fingernail, so I looked it up. This was my favorite possible reason:

    "When [he] first began performing, his mother told him to get a manicure because people would be looking at his hands. In response to this, he had all of his nails painted red as a joke. The one remaining red fingernail is in honor of his mother."

    You can look him up on Wikipedia to see the other possible reasons.

  • Cyril Takayama's Time Machine xD

    so awesome

  • this guy has so much energy

  • People people, if Penn and Teller don't know how it's done, no one does.

  • @vergilleinheart Correct and absolutely well said

  • he was on ELLEN

  • ......Does Penn have one nail painted red?

  • @TinaSempai yes he does, its in respect for his mother who passed away like 10 years ago

  • on another show I'd skip through the announcer's bits, but I love this guy!

  • Nicely done! ★★★★★

    Katalyzt

  • 6:54 ...Teller just got MINDF***** hha! the most amazing trick I've ever seen..bravo :D

  • Deck switch 4:24

  • @TheRohBoat we know genius ... how did he get the card in the deck at the right spot?

  • @tomdewilde1 The only explaination for the card going into the right spot in the deck is that hee got the original deck that Penn chose from back into the box andsealed it up somehow. If he put it back into a brand new deck with a trick slit, he would also have to remove the other 7 of diamond.

    Wonderful trick, wonderful performer.

  • @thecrookedman1 You don't make sense, you just bable on

  • haha I remember him from Ellen! he did that trick

  • his signature on the card look like he wrote "Porn"

  • He reminds me of Al Bundy!

    

  • @samhors1 not even close. maybe same haircut..

  • @Tide1988 listen to how he talks, and laughs.

  • @samhors1 this man here is a genius. al never was. im sorry man. we would never agree on this one,.

  • Comment removed

  • why is one of penn's nails red?? :S

    BTW that was the most amazing trick EVER!!!

  • @bBoyMikE13 Go to Penn Jillette's wikipedia page. There's a section about it. Basically, three proposed reasons:

    1. It means he once shot a man for asking personal questions.

    2.When Jillette first began performing, his mother told him to get a manicure because people would be looking at his hands. In response to this, he had all of his nails painted red as a joke. The one remaining red fingernail is in honor of his mother.

    3. It's just cool and can also sometimes provide excellent misdirection.

  • @SciWiz22 oh thanks that was pretty interesting... :)

  • This just confirms what I was suspecting. Ben & Teller let some pass who they think have good showmanship and think will entertain their audience. They see what happened, they even say it. Look from 4:26 forward. But they let him pass because they don't know how he got the card but he takes the card and slides it in the deck.

  • @saykoshey Yeah I can see the deck switch and I can guess when he slided. But how the hell could he put the card exactly between the 6 and the 8 of diamonds (Penn was not forced when he took the card, he took a random card). And when the fuck did he put the deck inside the box and how the hell he wraped it in plastic.

  • @lautaa33 When he takes out the new deck he does something to the deck. @4:27 you can see him take out the new deck en @4:29 you can see him slide in a card with his index finger. Seeing as it's a trick deck, I'm guessing there's something there which allows him to pit in the card and he takes this mechanism awa when he takes the joker away which is there to make it look like he has a stack while infact he has a box.

  • @saykoshey if he just slid it into the deck how did he manage to get the other 7 of diamonds out?

  • 3:21 "And not Canadian." LOL!

  • why does penn always have a red finger nail?

  • @musicinspiresme79 When Penn was a kid his mother was always telling him to keep his hands neat and clean so he paints one nail red as kind of a dedication to his mother. I'm not joking either

  • @musicinspiresme79 because it's quirky

  • Watch really close, When he pulls out the pen he pulls out a new deck with the plastic wrap very carefully opened and there is a slit in the cardboard with two cards sticking so very slightly out (the 2 cards being the 6 and 8 of diamonds) when he takes the card back he slides the card upside down in between the 2 cards then fully pushes them back in. While he is talking he folds the plastic wrap back up and with some residue glue it will stay together so he can show that the plastic is intact

  • @SockSauna How did he arrange it so that the 6 and 8 of diamonds were sticking out?

  • @MinecraftPuzzleMaps There are many ways he could have done it. i would try shaking the pack downwards frying to force a few cards out. i don't know exactly how but some way he did. They are usually really clever to come up with things

  • @SockSauna You assumption suggests that he would already have to know which card Penn was going to take, otherwise there would of been two 7 of diamonds in the pack.

  • @soulsanctuarymusic1 The card was a force, he removed it prior to the trick. A lot of prep work.

  • @SockSauna I think you're clutching at straws, that card 4:18 didn't look like a force.

  • @soulsanctuarymusic1 I think you're totally right. Penn chose a random card. Shaun had to somehow mark the position that Penn chose from, and then slip the card back into the original deck after it was back in the box. Penn could have chosen any card.

    Wonderful trick, brilliantly performed.

  • It's obvious he did it by channeling the power of the dark lord himself; Voldemort.

  • 06:57 You could say that Teller is speechless ...

  • I love how happy he always seems to be. Enjoyment of your craft really matters.

  • @Piemanthe3rd I agree, this is definitely an excellent example of someone who absolutely loves what they do. It just makes the performance much more fun to see

  • he did this on the ellen show, its on youtube

  • I love this show, Penn & Teller rule!

  • Penn's face at 6:52 says it all. He was right there the whole time and still couldn't figure it out. Amazing trick.

  • 4:06 does he have nail polish on 1 of his fingers?

  • the host is the best

  • Assuming it's a forced choice, I can see or infer every other step (you don't need to cut a slit, you just need some clever preparation and a bit of Zig glue), but from the video I cannot be sure whether it is (a force) or not, and I'd be a little surprised if Teller didn't spot that. Then again, maybe he was just puzzled by some other part of the trick, and didn't bother to mention it.

    What he says at 6:22 makes no sense, though. It should "mean" that was the deck Teller had shuffled.

  • guys, 8:59, the 7 of diamond. Idk if its the one that was in the second deck of cards but would make sense

  • I saw the switch when he lifts his jacket up to put the pen back, a ne deck is in his left hand after-with a single loose card on top

  • Could it be possible that he forced the 7 of diamonds and simply switched Penn's signed card with the one that was already in the deck at 06:46 ? I don't think he does, but it would be a simpler explanation...

  • 4:24 looks like a deck-swtich... but I just dunno how that could help him...

  • 4:36 amazing how he put it in the right place!!! true magic!

  • 8:00 lol!!!!

  • This is definitely the most impressive card trick I have ever seen. Most tricks, I can think of at least a few ways that it could have been done. For this... I have no clue.

  • 111 likes, absolutely no dislikes!

  • First of all the seven is forced. the position he is holding his 2 hands before penn gives him the shuffled deck is perfect to palm some cards. He got like 10 sevens that he placed on top or near the top of the deck.

    Now look at 4:20 when he pulls out the pen and is switching the shuffled deck to a "sealed" deck + a lose card on top which is the joker at 4:45. Finaly he takes penns card and inserts it to his gimmik box which allows him to slide the card in at exactly the position of the seven.

  • 04:18 - He forces the 7 of diamonds somehow, as it would make the trick easier.

    04:26 - There is definitely a deck switch where he replaces it with a sealed deck missing the jokers, premium cards, and the 7 of diamonds. On top of the sealed deck is a face down joker card.

    04:36 - He places the signed 7 of diamonds under the sealed deck.

  • 04:39 - When he reaches to take the pen back he appears to reach out with both hands for a split second. I think here he is moving the signed card to the top of the deck.

    04:48 – When he removes “one” card he actually removes both the signed card and the joker card but only shows the joker in a rather awkward manner as if he was trying to conceal the signed card.

  • 04:55 – He seems to take an inordinately long time to just put a joker back into his pocket. I assume here he is also placing the signed card up his sleeve.

    06:02 – There is a quick snapping noise made when he opens the sealed deck but I don’t think he actually does anything here.

  • 06:06 – When he reaches to take the cards out of the deck he must place the signed card into the deck. I assume that there is some mechanical means to prop open the deck to the correct position so the card can be inserted or dropped in quickly.

  • @paisiello1 nope, the card is inserted into the new deck at 4:37, he has a slit in the bottom of the pack and 2 cards sticking slightly out (the 6 and the 8) so he can insert the 7 back in it's place that he removed before from the deck.. deck preparation looks like this: open the plastic on the bottom, open the pack from the bottom cut a slit in plastic + box remove 7. glue everything back in place & let 8& 6 stick out of the pack

  • @1990enter You are probably right that he is inserting it in the deck at this point but you forgot that the jokers and premium cards are also missing from the sealed deck. I assume it is relatively easy to tamper with decks and re-seal them.

  • @1990enter Doesn't make sense. He shows off the bottom of the deck to Penn, who states that there isn't a cutter's slit. Not to mention, he's done this trick twice before on other TV shows. Maybe, MAYBE you could fool one or two people. But four? And one of them's a trained magician with 30+ years of experience under his belt? Yeah, no.

  • @1990enter Penn is the one that shows the cards. The magician would not take the risk of putting 10 seven of diamonds at the top and then ask Penn to show the cards. Plus, even with 10 sevens in the deck, the chances of Penn getting one of the sevens is only 20%. Those are too much risks. He must have forced the seven of diamonds by other method.

  • Why does penn have red nail polish?

  • This guy looks good and executes the trick well, but he could actually use a bit of improvement on his presentation.

  • @dmarkwith: At 4:51 he puts the Joker in his pocket, I don't see any visual evidence that it's Penn's card. (Although it might have been doubled.) Nor would that explain how he got the card into the box.

  • 6:55 NOw,THATS the look every magician is WORKING for.Child look.On a full grown person,even greater thing,a proffesional magician

  • well.. after watching it a few times, I'm thinking he must have forced the 7 of diamonds on penn... maybe..

  • @keiko52 Still the signature remains.This is kind of magic I like,you can clearly figure switched decks;everyone can;you can also come with a THEORY of forced card,a lot of ppl can,but theres a thing NO ONE can figure or even come with a theory.

    Great trick,EPIC effect.

  • wow... just wow... the trick seems pretty straight forward.. but the secret to getting that card in the right spot of the deck.. is just beyond what I coukld ever imagine. this guy's clever. the selection dosn't seem forced.. makeing the trick even harder... just wow... and funny

  • Vancouver boy doing it!!

  • That was the worst victory dance ever,

  • Why does Penn have a red finger nail?

  • @biologyprodigy It means he once killed a guy for asking personal questions.

  • At 4:51 you can see him slide the card into his pocket. And, as Penn pointed out later, you can totally see when he swaps the deck at 4:27. Cool trick, but watch the video a few times and you can see exactly how it's done.

  • Wtf!!! Thats a mind tripper!

  • Comment removed

  • Does any one want to know how Shawn did this trick than pm me i will explain this 4 you.

  • @magjistar You know what man..... Tell me.

  • That was great. I want to watch it again, but I don't really want to know how he did it. :)

  • the single best card trick i have EVER seen

  • i have seen shawn's tricks before and it's sad that he doesn't have a vegas show

  • Nice work Shawn nice, simple and clear.

  • Nice Trick and it´s very eazy to do. Great work Shawn

  • sorry for double post my bad

  • This guy is the best i have watched every magic trick of his

  • This guy is the best i have watched every magick trick of his

  • Teller really has that "How the hell did he do that" look nailed down

  • Easy trick.

  • @weGandGM Easy? For audience? How?

  • A great effect by an extremely accomplished and talented performer. You should really see his "Shape of my Heart'. It is so totally well secripted, with nuance, drama, pathos, and comedy...the culmination of which is pure magic...awesome.

    james

  • I can imagine how he could get the card into the re-sealed pack, but what blows my mind is that it was in the right spot with them all sorted.

  • 6:56 Teller was speechless..... but ofcourse that doesn't say much.

  • @Thesis010 That's really is a great trick to do and the easy part is to figure he swaps the cards the most amazing thing (and the part I would like to figure out) is how fast and exactly when he does it, =D

  • 7:52 "It's what I tell my wife all the time!" I love Ross.. he's awesome!! hahaha

  • is one of penn's fingernails painted red?

  • @SomethingRules watch the film

  • @SomethingRules It's a gag that derives from something his mother said, I believe. When he got on television, she told him to make sure his hands are always neat and clean for the cameras, so he purposefully painted his nail as a message to her. That's what I remember from way back, I could be wrong. But he has that throughout Bullshit!, and now here too, so I'm guessing it's become a trademark.

  • @vladtastic His fingernail is painted that way because it helps with misdirection. you look at the finger instead of what you should be seeing

  • @AmericanPunx also notice the fingernail is painted on his non dominate hand. You should watch his other hand when he is doing misdirection

  • @AmericanPunx He does it for his deceased mother. watch?v=Gxq9ORifmOs

  • @vladtastic, I believe he does it to honor his now-passed mother.

  • Maybe he had 52 different resealed decks sewn throughout the inside of his clothes so that whichever card they'd pick he'd present the deck with the flipped card...ok, I've got no friggin' idea!

  • anyone else notice the stage is shaped like a penis?

  • @IVIrIVIagic you obviously have cock on the brain

  • I love this trick someone has to teach if to me

  • Unbelievable!!!!!

  • Awwwwwwwwww tellers face at 3:13 makes me laugh a bit (:

  • greatest trick ever

  • @8:58 he takes out a 7 of diamonds out of his pocket while Penn took all the cards, what's that about?

  • @GhostLupo : His lucky card maybe? Not from the deck he used in the trick.

  • What is the name of this trick?

  • lol @ his name

  • waht does penn say at 8:48, the friggin audience cheers at the fucking worst moments

  • @ddfilm92 "god damn card"

  • @ddfilm92 We have no idea how you got the god damn card into the god damn deck

  • That first guy was AMAZING!!! There is no other word for it! he was fricking awesome!!!!!!

  • The moment I knew Shawn was going to this Show, I knew he would do this trick, Thumbs up if you were in Sorcerers Safari Magic Camp last year, and you saw it!!

  • @MrMagicdude7

    In fact, he asked my cabin to come up for a name for this very trick.

  • Glad Shawn fooled Penn & Teller, if anyone could it would be him. He was actually born not far from where I live in Manitoba.

  • yes, but how did he put it between the 6 & 8??

  • hmmm Shawn Farquhar is cute! And what a great trick!

  • @Singsonggirl He's also Canadian and totally cool. I love his Shape of my Heart trick, look it up on Youtube, totally awesome!

  • @4:28 closing the upper lid of the "new" deck cover, he replaced it when he was getting the pen "secret slit in his jacket" by using his 2 hands (which has the plastic seal "glued to it" so the top and bottom, sides are ok BUT not the corners!!)..... :)

  • @spidy455 I know how its dont and it dont use any glue

  • @TheDavidA71 i saw him close it with his finger

  • This man is a beast. Freaking awesome.

  • Firsties!!!!
