Penn And Teller Cups And Balls

[KingOfTheShrews]

There is a really funny clip of an Egyptian magician performing this trick to Teller with an unusual twist, and you also hear Teller speak! :D

Or search 'magic and mystery - teller speaks in egypt'

[wolfchicgalpal]

ha ha the potato moved lol

[marioblasalegria]

Ya i saw it pretty freaky if you ask me and there desecrating an egyosian place i guess that place was hunted woow..

[StephenFiorentini]

Sweeeeeeeet

[talentedemo21]

WTF?!?! just before the potatoe is revealed the center cup moved.. o.0

[DMAN123223]

@talentedemo21 The potato was probably rolling as Teller needed to move quickly and it pushed the cup.

[LibertarianINT]

After watching the golf video, you can actually see where they the balls in and out. You can also hear the odd sound that shouldn't be there if they did what they said. Two of the greatest magicians ever.

[tetlee555]

These two are amaaaazing together :)

[scienceguy8]

Still amazing even when they show you how its done.

[johncp1989]

@bentm99 Pretty sure "most Americans" don't care how they use words or they don't choose to spell correctly because it's just YouTube... Reason being is they probably don't care what people think about them on a computer (being anonymous) and after all this site isn't a Résumé. :-)

[johncp1989]

@PhotonicDoctor oooooh! You just earned a cookie m8! would you like a cup of tea with that?

[JDMvids1105]

Penn & Teller > Criss Angel

[shenkeey]

@JDMvids1105 Every real magician/illusionist > Criss Angel

[PhotonicDoctor]

I love this game. Back in Russia all those guys used to display their skills but first you pay money and if u guess under which cup a rubber ball, you double your money. Needless to say, all the fools lost their money. Kids were not allowed to play and wander why? Because of better vision and perception. The cheater used those nylon balls that can be squeezed into a size of a dime and when u pick the cup u know the ball is its not there. Cheaters. But I saw that and knew where the ball is.

[bentm99]

@PhotonicDoctor It's "wonder" not "wander"

[PhotonicDoctor]

@bentm99 Gee, how nice of you to correct other people online. So I was typing fast, big deal. Instead of contributing to this post, u tell people of their mistakes. I already knew I made that mistake. Do everyone a favor and stop correcting other people. This isn't a news agency. Correct them, not other youtubers. With limited character input we all make these mistakes and then some. Good day sir, mam.

[bentm99]

@PhotonicDoctor I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. In this era of hyper-sensitive people crying anytime somebody hurts their feelings, I wouldn't want to be a jerk and defend the language in which you were typing at your expense. I guess I just assumed that you were like many other Americans that can't spell words in their own language. Thanks for telling me you were just typing fast and missed the mistake. I will now comment on the video.

Balls, that was sweet! I love those two.

[PhotonicDoctor]

@bentm99 It's ok. I'm incapable of being offended. As a European, I laugh just like u at the mistakes the Americans make. Its sad really that English, while being the easiest language and to the native born speakers is still quite hard even for them. I enjoy watching spelling bee's competitions, and the truth is, to someone quite educated, even if he or she did not hear the words which are being given to contestants, I find it easy enough to spell those words with ease. At least for me.

[sharkhead7854]

1:20 "And of course.... a potato..."

I love how he says it, like "wtf was that doing there?"

[NemesisTypeT]

My head hurts...

[elextrixtechnixtree]

saw a video of them explaining it. it's really cool to catch little glimpses of what they are doing as they trick the viewer. like millisecond snippets where one can see where the balls are truly going if one knows where to look :) so super awesome!

[elextrixtechnixtree]

@elextrixtechnixtree excuse my last comment, i posted before i saw the whole video, didn't realize they also explained it in this video as well. posted the comment the first minute in. sorry youtube :(

[snoopyflick]

The center cup moves at 1:19. MAGIC

[thenutintheushanka18]

1:25 There is now way the man in the painting could be holding a potato. The Potato was first grown in South America. so unless those Ancient Egyptian Paintings were painted in the 1500's, the dude is probably holding a rock. Of course P&T probably know this, it's just showmanship.

[RussellsParadox]

It's a potato!

[magnira864]

awesome.

[TorquayNutters]

lol its mental :D amazing

[2000WTube]

you can see the whole explanation..

i dont like that!

[Reservoirdog119]

This is what Penn & Teller do - they expose how magic tricks are done. If you don't want to know the explanations to certain tricks than I would advise you not to watch anymore Penn & Teller videos.

[2000WTube]

it does'nt give me the right to dislike what they do?! i bet you are not a magician. and of course you are not a performer at least..

[serraniumxetra]

u can see him put a ball at 0:45 if u wach his left hand closely an u hear a sound 2 ^^

[berniebay]

he shows how it's done, so...good for you?

[Barclay1987]

Nice trick!

[FriendlyMind]

1:16

[marypiscore]

FUCKING SCARED

[imtheWalrus007]

chris angel sux

[ADDDDdXXX]

what potato ?

[ZellerMain]

its funny cause they still dont tell you how to do it

[vaieas]

Haha it was funny when the cup in the middle moved w.o him touching it im thinking its cause the potato rolled?

[kingofkards91]

I highly recomend the DVD this is from. It's absolutly hilarious, educational, and very interesting. Particularly for magicians,.

[classicrockmusicvids]

to learn this trick you hav to know like sleight of hand

[tind33p]

the potato is the star here....

[moomoomamoo]

>_> i love how people hate youtubers for uploading how a trick is done(or a video of someone(s) else doing the trick and revealing). Funny when they insult them by claiming they aren't real magicians for spreading the joy of magic to anyone who is has an interest, but it's not being a "real" magician to reveal how tricks are done...no to be a "real" magician you'd have to sell it in a book =/

[EssexBoy696969]

As a professional magician I obviously dislike secrets being shown simply for the sake of it. It kills the mystery and people interested in magic will, hopefully, pursue

magic themselves as a hobby.

However, what many magicians seemed to fail to grasp when this routine by Penn & Teller was first shown was that it's still awesome misdirection and, most importantly, it's ENTERTAINMENT!

If magicians focused more on entertaining than hiding secrets, magic may be appreciated more!

[VayMasters]

I'm kinda alarmed that someone actually used the term "real" to describe a "magician".

[mattdjkilla]

they seem alot younger here, they dont really put alot of sence of humor into it like they do now-a-day

[thecardmonkey]

Because they were actually in Egypt, there may have been some noise restrictions placed on their routine. Just a guess on my part though.

[kingofkards91]

You hit the nail on the head. That and Penn was absolutly flabergasted by how awe-inspiring the room was.

[RevAnthony420]

No respect as a real magician they never tell people hows the effect is done. Losers if ya ask me.

[pwr10]

oh relax. A book I bought at Barnes and Noble for 2 bucks had this trick in it. You could find a million instructional videos on here if you wanted to, it's not like their giving away some HUGE HUGE magic secret. They're realy showcasing Teller's amazing abilities with it- part of their magic is that you know that you're being conned but you still can't really follow how its being done.

[InfinitusCaeli]

so having watch this video you now think you can perform the trick... ok

[buckykatt00]

they dont acutally tell people how to do it

the talking is misdirection

anyone who can tell how they do it from the video already knows atleast basic sleight of hand

so ease up

[XxMissNoNamexX]

Number one, there's no such thing as a real magician. That's only in story books, buddy.

Two, that's how they've gotten so incredibly popular. They exploit and debunk things that no one's ever exploited or debunked.

The real losers are the ones who pretend that they can do magic. THEY CAN'T.

Penn and Teller can because what makes their shows magic is that they show you how it's done.

Now THAT'S magic!

[supersonico]

i love how they always show how they do it.

even when they did tho it was still hard to follow haha

[lazeebum]

that's amazing they got the potato to move when it was still inside the cup

[CaptainFeigh]

I think he put it in sideways and it rolled lol. I was wondering too.

[Luclfer666]

ITS THE DAMN POTATO!!

[Paradox244]

The potato is the best part.

[wmahwmah]

I always like watching this trick done by these two. They do it with clear cups and it can still make you wonder how they did that.

[squ1sh]

A cute trick, once again showing how slight of hand can really make your head spin.

[BIACProductions]

lol

[ElleNelly]

his voice, penn's, i like it to be more aggressive and less soft

[jbuck105]

If Penn talked normally in there he would have sounded 10 times louder
