Yeah...if they outline a clear way in which it could have been done, that should constitute a successful guess. These guys clearly threw out a red herring, specifically to try and defeat Penn's one and only guess. That's not how they should have been trying to do it.
@DudeGuyPerson64 At 3:10 he obviously hides the card, so Penn & Teller guess that that was how they did the trick. Seeing as they're only allowed one guess, chances are they would've guessed correctly if they hadn't faked that part of the trick.
@Maddolis Yeah, I agree it isn't the best judging system. There have been some tricks that are utterly amazing. They perform the tricks so well that Penn and Teller even seem to miss the switches, card lifts, etc. Yet, they know HOW it must have been done and therefore the performers don't advance... even though they are probably 50 times better than the ones that do.

@tabarakrazvi They faked the switch, just to put P&T off.

@Maddolis Oh dam i totally missed that. I mean I had no idea how, but I knew it wasn't a switch when the duct tape was removed.
