07x07 - Penn's Stupid Rope Trick

Post by bunniefuu »

From the Penn & Teller Theater

at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas,

here's our host, Alyson Hannigan!

Thank you.

Welcome to "Fool Us,"

where we find the finest magicians in the world

and bring them here to do two things:

dazzle all of us watching

and fool two of the most amazing minds in magic.

One of those is easy; one of those is hard.

I'll let you figure out which is which

as we bring out the stars of our show, Penn and Teller.

If Penn and Teller don't know how a trick is done,

they hand the "Fool Us" trophy to the performer of that trick

and give them a slot in their world-famous magic show.

Let's meet the first magician of the night.

Joining us from Japan, please welcome Sora.

Lots of magicians do magic tricks

with cards and coins.

That's boring.

Today, I will use only one sketchbook.

This sketchbook is a very special one.

- Whoo!
- Ooh!

Every page is the same girl

with different underwear.

First is the bra part.

Every page is different--

different color and different design.

And second, panties part.

You can see it's all different.

And last, stockings.

Black and red, green, pink--

every page is different.

Okay, now, Alyson,

would you help us create a brand-new outfit?

- Oh, sure.
- Thank you.

- Okay, first is bra part.
- Mm-hmm.

Please open any page you like, like this.

- Okay.
- Yes.

- And then open--okay.
- Okay, thank you.

And next is panty part.

Please open any page you like.

- Okay, thank you.
- Yeah.

And the last is stockings.

Please open any page you like, okay?

- Oh.
- Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Here is combination for today.

Pink brassiere and the light blue panty

and the purple stockings.

Alyson, you opened the pages

totally randomly, right?

- Yes.
- Okay, good.

Actually,

this is my favorite prediction trick.

And my prediction is

already on the stage.

Do you want to see my prediction?

Here is my prediction.

Sora!

Ah.

- Thank you.
- This is gonna be awkward.

- Thank you so much.
- Okay.

- All right, great.
- Yes.

I'm just gonna keep my eyes up here.

Yes.

So what inspired you to do this?

First, my idea is

if my assistant take off clothes,

- audience is happy...
- Ah.

But I'm not happy

because every applause for her.

Yeah? Not for me.

- So then I change it.
- Yeah.

And yes, now is all applause for me.

Yes.

Yeah, smart. Very smart.

All right.

Well, let's see if you can strip Penn and Teller

of a trophy.

- Okay.
- Penn, Teller.

Sora, you know, this is an act

that we were gonna do, and it turned out that...

nobody wanted to see it-- not one person.

We couldn't find one audience

of one person who wanted to see it.

We all knew what the ending was gonna be.

No one had any doubts.

There was gonna be no surprise whatsoever.

We just relaxed,

and then it was a wonderful, beautiful surprise

that everyone loved.

And, you know, Sora, magic is supposed to be mystifying,

amazing, skillful,

but sometimes we forget that, most important,

magic is supposed to be fun.

And this really is one of the funnest acts

we've ever had on this show.

But it is a--as you know,

a classic of magic, the way you did this.

And I don't wanna give away too much,

but I will just try saying SvenPad.

Does that mean anything to you?

- Mm, yes.
- Okay, good.

Wonderful act, wonderful act.

So they know how you did your trick?

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Aw, well, thank you so much.
- Yeah, thank you so much.

- So good, so good.
- Sora!

Don't touch that remote.

More wizards and whimsy await when "Fool Us" returns.

You've found "Fool Us."

Can our next magician find a trophy

from Penn and Teller?

Let's find out.

For me, magic is movement.

My body is an instrument that lets me do things

other magicians can't.

I had classical ballet training for years,

but time passed and my teacher said

my feet were too big for ballet.

When you're a ten-year-old girl

and you already realize this is not gonna happen for you,

of course, you're crushed.

But that door had closed to me.

Instead, I became a contemporary dancer.

Then someone asked for a magician's assistant,

and I took the job without even knowing what it meant.

From the first moment,

magic seemed like an art form to me.

In magic, you can be whatever you wanna be,

do whatever you imagine.

You just have to put it into a piece.

I really hope Penn and Teller like the effect,

and, pff, who doesn't wanna win?

Please welcome the miraculous magic

of Jaana Felicitas.

Whoa!

Jaana Felicitas.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Wow.

I don't think we've had anything like this

on our stage before.

- Really?
- Yeah.

And do you like performing in front of big crowds?

Well, yeah, of course, but this is, you know,

something very special,

so I was very nervous before, obviously.

But you must've been on lots of TV shows before, right?

I've been on TV shows but never with my solo act,

so this is the first time, then.

Well, you--she did very well, didn't she?

- Yeah.
- Thank you.

So how did you decide to dance with the chair?

Well, it was very spontaneous, you know?

I wanted to do kind of a pas de deux,

which is partner dances between a male and female dancer.

And I thought it would be cool to do a pas de deux

but with an object,

so it's still about having a partner in dance,

and the chair was very spontaneous.

All right, well, let's see what the guys thought of it.

- Yes.
- Guys.

Hello.

So good.

- Thank you.
- You know...

While I was watching, I took my eyes off you for a moment

and looked over at Teller, who was just in awe.

- Aw, really?
- It was just so beautiful.

And this is one of the great acts to have on here because

so many young people,

especially girls,

have started to watch this show and get into magic.

And this really shows that it doesn't have to be

the old, dusty magic circle-- the boys' club

doing the same old garbage over and over again.

Completely new, completely fresh.

- Wonderful.
- Thank you.

You've got a floating ball routine

and a floating cane routine

without a floating ball and without a floating cane,

which is just exactly

what creativity and originality is.

We are probably the best audience

for this you'll ever have because especially Teller...

- I know.
- Has done so much work

on animating things and floating things

that no one's gonna appreciate you more.

And we're also the worst audience

because with all that study, Teller knows an awful lot

about how to move things around onstage sneakily.

Sure. Of course.

So are you pretty confident

that they know how you did all of your tricks?

Yes, I'm pretty confident they know.

Aw, well, thank you so much.

- Jaana Felicitas.
- Thank you.

More magic is on the way right after the break.

Stay close.

Welcome back to "Fool Us."

I'd like you to meet our next magician.

Here he is.

Get ready for the comedy magic of Mario López.

Thank you very much.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hi--ah!

Hello, everyone. I'm so happy to be here.

And I wanna share with you one of my favorite tricks--

favorite, with salt.

It's called The Vanishing--

The-- My hands are sweaty.

The-- Help.

The Van--

I have this one.

Also this one.

If the salt doesn't work,

I can stay like this every day.

Or also I have...

Wait.

Oh! Oh, oh.

Ow.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Okay, I try with this.

I--not with this.

This is for the salt--oh.

Okay, okay, I can do the salt.

My favorite trick. My favorite trick.

I put the salt in my hand.

It's called The Vanishing Salt.

But for me, the important thing is not quantity.

It's quality.

So let me find one.

Yeah.

This one. I have it.

I have it.

Shh!

I put it in my hand.

Still there. And please.

One...

two...

Three.

It's still there.

Oh, it's still here.

What?

I try again, I try again. Wait, wait, wait.

Hocus-pocus.

Maybe I can use--yeah.

I can use the wand, and we'll be--oh.

Oh, oh! Oh!

There's so many.

Okay, okay.

That's--oh, oh. What is--

Let me--I'm sorry.

This is not my favorite trick.

This is not my favorite trick.

Let me--let me clean this a little bit.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay. Oh.

It's still here.

Let me...

Oh. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa--wait.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. I--oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Ah! Uh-oh.

Stop!

St--st...

Stop...stop!

Good--oh!

Maybe let me try--yeah. Now--oh.

Ah. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Now we've--uh-oh.

Oh, I...

What the--oh.

Uh-oh.

Let me try...like this! Okay.

Now I think it's--oh, no!

Ah! What?

Go, go, go.

Thank you.

Stop. Oh, [bleep].

What? Oh!

Okay, maybe another day-- oh, [bleep]--

I will try to do it,

because today--oh!

Oh.

Let me... [bleep], okay.

What?

[bleep]. Stop.

I'm really sorry.

I don't know what--I...

Okay.

Please.

Got it!

I got it!

- Mario López.
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Hello, hello.

Oh, I'm feeling good. It was the magic wand.

- Aww.
- The magic wand.

- Thank you very much.
- That was--oh. Aww.

- Oh, [bleep].
- Oh, dear.

No, you're supposed to do this.

Fwish! Over your--yeah.

Over your shoulder. There you go.

That was wonderful.

- Thank you.
- You're so much fun to watch.

Can we talk about your nipple for a second?

Ah.

- That was super surprising.
- I need to take care.

Never seen something like that before.

And I don't really think I need to again.

- Yeah, okay.
- Yeah.

I will not do it. Okay.

I can't even imagine

how you learned you could do that trick.

Sit home, playing.

The shower.

So do your magic tricks always get out of control?

I love clowning. I love to do stupid things.

And clowns need problems to live,

so I love to be like, "Oh, hey."

Yeah, well, you're really great at it,

- so keep doing it.
- Thank you very much.

I appreciate it.

Well, Mario, that was wonderful.

Let's find out if Penn and Teller were fooled.

Let's see, let's see, let's see.

Guys.

Mario, we just love you.

- Oh, thank you.
- We just love you.

And the style that you have

is so casual, so easy, and so comfortable,

and yet I believe you are one of the most precise technicians

we've ever had on the show.

Now, we think--

we think we know how you did

a lot of the salt pours.

- True.
- We think!

There's a few things in there

that we can kind of sort of guess

but that worry us that we might be wrong.

But I'm gonna do something that...

is an act of cowardice.

We're gonna go around the salt pour

and just say,

"Maybe you fooled us; maybe you didn't."

We're never gonna find out because

we sincerely have no idea

how you did the [bleep] [bleep] nipple.

We don't know!

We don't know how you did the nipple,

so we don't care about the salt pour!

Maybe you fooled us, maybe you didn't,

but your nipple gave it to us.

Your nipple-- because we really...

we really--two reasons.

One, we sincerely don't know how you did it.

And two, it gives me a great deal of pleasure to say

we were fooled by a nipple.

You're a Fooler!

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

- Yay.
- I appreciate it.

Yee-hee!

Mario López.

Thank you. Oh.

Thank you. Thank you.

Our last magician earned himself a trophy

and a slot in Penn and Teller's Vegas show.

Will another performer join him?

Find out after this.

Welcome back.

Let's see if this next magician

can put the "Fool Them" in "Fool Us."

Take a look.

I grew up in a place called Williams Lake

in British Columbia, Canada.

I was the only magician for 300 miles.

Hello! Hello!

Even when I failed,

I still was the best magician in town...

'cause I was the only magician in town.

I travel the world now,

but I still create all kinds of illusions

with objects that remind me of my old hometown.

Ah! Ah, ah!

A lot of what I do in my show is danger magic

so I can play off the cliché of Mr. Canadian Nice Guy.

It's like Norman Bates in "Psycho."

He seemed so normal.

In a routine like the one I'm gonna do tonight,

I try to find the most vulnerable person in the room

and then scare them to death.

So tonight, my target isn't Penn and Teller.

It's Alyson.

I hope she's ready to roll.

Joining us from the land of hockey and health care,

Clinton W. Gray.

This is gonna be fun, Alyson.

Please come join me behind the table right here.

This is a little danger magic,

but we're gonna have a ton of fun with it.

You know, we're here in Las Vegas.

I thought it was only appropriate

that we do a Las Vegas magic illusion.

Yeah, we're gonna do it together,

this is the kind of trick

you would use a trained magic assistant,

someone--yeah, exactly.

No, someone who worked with a magician for many, many years,

you know, figuring out exactly how it works.

You're already making bad choices.

No, no, it's gonna be great.

I don't have any magic assistants,

but I do have Alyson Hannigan.

Exactly, exactly.

I'm gonna train you in real time

how to do this trick, and then we're gonna fool everybody

with a little Las Vegas magic illusion.

It's gonna be fun. Let's take a look at it.

Here it is, Alyson.

There it is, a little thing I like to call

the Arm Chopper of Doom!

- That's good.
- Doom, doom, doom.

That's good.

That was just a test.

That was a test. No, it was.

I can see why you don't have an assistant.

Here's what's gonna happen, Alyson.

In a moment, you're gonna place your arm inside here.

I don't know if I'm gonna.

It'll be fine. I promise.

I'm gonna teach you how it works.

You'll be absolutely safe.

After your arm is inside,

I will take this blade right here.

I will slam that blade--

I mean I will gently push that blade downward.

It will go right through your arm,

and this audience will go nuts with applause.

That's if it works. That's if it works.

If it doesn't work, I will slam the blade down,

your arm will fall off, and Penn will call 911.

Ugh.

I can see you are a little nervous.

Please don't be nervous. You're a huge celebrity.

I would never risk your arm in this.

It's really not that sharp. Look, not that sharp.

If this is your arm, won't even cut a bal--

I'm sure you're stronger than a balloon.

You'll be fine. Okay.

I'm a little nervous now. All right.

I--Alyson, step a little closer--

Why don't we do it with your arm?

I know how to chop.

It's always the assistant that has to go into it.

- That's just the rules.
- No, magic's evolving.

- Sure, that's a good point.
- Yeah.

Okay, help me out, Alyson.

Are you right-handed or left-handed?

- Right-handed.
- Right-handed?

Oh, good. We're using the good one.

- Take your right hand--
- Oh!

Take your right hand and hold it up

high in the air just like this--just like this.

That's nice. Right up there.

Ooh, those are lovely nails. Thank you.

Open up all your fingers. Wonderful.

And wave good-bye to your hand.

Sorry--your fans. Wave good-bye to your fans.

That's what I meant. Here we go.

Let us just expose the flesh a little bit.

That's great. Alyson, you're so brave.

Thank you for helping out. Let's see--no, no.

You'll be good, I promise. You'll be--that's very nice.

That's good--ah, thank you. I got you in there.

Now, it's kind of custom fit to your arm.

I just close that little bit there.

We lock it into place.

We close this here. We lock into place.

That prevents you... from getting away.

You know what?

I'll take a little of your fear away,

I'll take a little of your fear away.

- Can you feel this on your arm?
- Yeah.

- You can feel that?
- Yes.

That's not good. Let me numb it up.

Oh, that's me.

Now you know why we call it the Arm Chopper of Doom.

Doom, doom, doom, doom.

That's good.

Let's make it a little more exciting.

- On the count of three. One--
- No!

Oh, you gotta watch. That's what makes it exciting.

All right. That's good.

On the count of three. One, two--

Three days ago, I was doing this, Alyson.

Aww.

- At the last second--
- I just wanna go home.

Oh, I can tell, I can tell,

but it's gonna be great at the end, Alyson.

Think of the applause you will get

- when we get through this thing.
- I mean, I've heard it before.

I can remember it. I don't need it anymore.

But you've never heard the applause with me before,

so this is good.

Now, Alyson, sometimes people get nervous

right at this point.

They pull their hand back, and then blade comes down,

it catches the tips of their fingers.

It really does hurt.

Keep it right where it is and it will not hurt.

- I can't promise you that.
- As much.

That's good.

I got a better idea. Take your other hand,

reach around, grab your own fingers.

Yeah, take that hand, reach around, grab--perfect.

Yeah, just kind of hold on just like that.

Yeah, just kind of like this. Yeah, yeah, perfect.

That way, if something goes wrong--

No!

That way, if something goes wrong, you get a souvenir.

- No!
- Okay, you know what?

Let's do it this way so everyone can see.

I got better. No, this'll be great.

Let's do it a different way. I've got an idea.

We'll just have this

so it gets a little bit of extra--

That's good. That's-- Are you ready for this?

Well, could we try it once with your head in there?

My head's not gonna fit in there, Alyson.

What are we doing? All right, here we go.

It's just a thing we call the Arm Chopper of Doom.

- Doom, doom, doom.
- Every time.

Let's make it a little more exciting.

Seriously, Alyson, don't worry, don't worry.

You will be completely unarmed.

I mean unharmed. Unharmed.

We put this balloon here.

Makes it a little more exciting.

If I face it just the right way,

the blade comes down, slices the balloon in half,

shoots off, hits Teller right in the nose,

blade keeps on coming right through Alyson's arm,

the crowd goes nuts with applause.

- Are we ready for this?
- No!

- It's...
- I heard no, I heard no.

- The Arm Chopper of Doom!
- Doom, doom, doom.

Here we go. One, two, three.

Don't...

don't move.

One of two things has happened.

Either the trick has worked,

or you're just a really slow bleeder.

I'm gonna pop this open, I'm gonna pop this open,

and your hand comes out, and this crowd's gonna go wild

for Alyson Hannigan.

Clinton W. Gray, somebody I thought I liked.

Aw.

I just--why didn't you pick someone in the audience?

We just knew you'd have so much fun with it, Alyson.

You're perf--and look.

The outfit matched and everything.

- It matched my blood.
- Exactly.

Oh, so what other t*rture devices do you use?

I do a thing with a bear trap or an animal trap.

It's kind of fun.

Before I became a magician, I was actually a rodeo clown,

but I would do magic in my rodeo clown act.

I was Clinton W. Gray, the Conjuring Cowboy Clown.

So I do things like escaping from a straitjacket

while being dragged around an arena by horses--

that kind of stuff, so yeah, yeah.

Will you come back with that trick?

Sure. We'll think of that.

It might be a little hard to fit in here, but will do.

All right, shall we find out if you fooled Penn and Teller?

- Sure.
- All right, boys.

Clinton, the important thing with a trick like this

is how you handle the...victim.

And you're supposed to keep that person

nervous and scared and chatty

and funny, and you did all of that.

Of course, you had a great choice.

With Alyson, you can't go wrong.

She's gonna make the trick good,

and she did that, and you were great all the way through.

What's interesting to me is my partner, Teller,

who--you finished this routine, and Teller started sketching

and talking, and, "What are we gonna do with this?"

and, "How are we gonna figure this out?"

And then he said, "Maybe I'm just stupid."

"Maybe I'm just stupid."

- Now, Teller isn't stupid.
- No.

But in this case, I said, "You know, Teller,

"I think you are.

"I think all of your theories

"are not useful to this game.

I think I have it figured out."

So usually, I do a little

chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter,

and then Teller goes up and whispers to the magician

some little piece of arcane information,

and the magician goes, "Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got me,"

and they go away.

So we're not going with Teller going up and whispering.

We're going up with me whispering.

And if I tell you how this is done,

- you do not receive a trophy.
- Okay.

- If I am wrong...
- Yeah.

- Then you get your trophy.
- All right.

So I'm gonna whisper to you right now, Clinton.

Sure.

- That is exactly what I did.
- Yes, it is. Okay, thank you.

But you did a great job. Great job.

Well, you didn't fool them,

but you sure put on a great show

that I'll think about in my nightmares.

Well, thank you, and, you know, it's just fun.

I get to travel the world with this crazy-looking prop,

and it was a pleasure to be able to show it to you,

gentlemen, so thank you.

Clinton W. Gray.

Penn and Teller don't make a living

sitting in those comfy chairs.

They pay their bills being world-class magicians.

You'll see them in action when "Fool Us" returns.

Penn and Teller have worked together successfully

for 45 years.

But sometimes they also work alone.

And when Penn works without Teller,

it's just stupid.

No, that's what the next routine is called.

Here's Penn performing "Stupid."

Magic...

magic does not fool you because you are stupid.

Magic fools you because it is stupid.

If we wanna fool you really badly,

we make sure the method is so stupid,

the smarter you are, the less you wanna think about it.

So I'm gonna do magic for you that'll be stupid

to everybody watching except for one person.

Please welcome my friend

pop music icon Debbie Gibson.

Hi. Hello.

- Hey, Debbie, how you doing?
- I'm great.

- How are you?
- I'm doing well.

Thank you, guys.

And now I'm gonna do a magic trick that you will see

but no one else will see.

Oh, my goodness. I can't wait.

They'll just see "Stupid." And there's this rope.

I want you to examine this rope,

make sure there's no magnets, anything fishy in it.

Obviously, Debbie, I wouldn't give it to you

if there's anything fishy, but look it over a little bit here.

Now, here's a really beautiful thing,

and you know this very well, Debbie.

These people here live

have never been in a room together before.

And they'll never be in a room together again,

but they have all decided as individuals

to become this thing called an audience.

And they will play along with us in most anything.

Like, if I just state-- just state--that this,

twirling my tassels, means applaud, they'll applaud.

And they'll applaud there,

and they'll applaud there, and they'll applaud there.

I'm gonna join.

They will applaud just 'cause I'm doing that.

And you know something, Debbie?

If you do that, they'll applaud more for you.

- You know why?
- Why?

'Cause you've had hit singles.

But do your applause over here.

Get your tassels twirling. Do your tassels here.

Then do here first-- do here first,

and then do over here too, Debbie, okay?

Now, Debbie, you are gonna see the magic,

and they are going to see the "Stupid."

Now, Debbie, I want you to first look at my hands.

- Nothing there.
- Yes, yes.

Look at my sleeves. Nothing there.

Now, you watch this, Debbie,

'cause you examined that rope carefully.

You know all about that rope.

Now I'm gonna take scissors.

You examined the rope-- no magnets, no nothing.

I cut that right in front of your eyes.

And then, Deb, I'm gonna have you take, I guess, that side.

Take that side right there, Debbie,

and then very slowly pull it.

Very slow.

Boom! Right back together, Debbie.

- All back together.
- Oh, my gosh.

Do your applause, do your applause,

do your applause over here.

Do the applause over here, do the applause over here.

- And do your applause there.
- I'm gonna get this, darn it.

And do your applause over there.

Beautiful, Debbie.

Now I want you to be part of this.

I'm gonna give you these scissors here.

Don't cut yourself there, Deb.

And then, Debbie, we're gonna take this,

and you're gonna actually cut the rope yourself.

No way for me to fake that.

Cut right there. Watch my fingers.

There you go. Right there, Debbie.

And now, just like before, you take that side of that, Deb.

- Yup, yup, yup.
- Just like that.

And then pull fast! Pull fast!

Boom--all back together just like that!

- What?
- Do your applause, Debbie.

Do your applause.

Do your applause here, Debbie.

Do the applause there, Debbie.

- Do the applause there, Debbie.
- Whoo!

- Now, Debbie, I know--
- Yes.

I know you wanna be part of the "Stupid."

I don't want you to leave here without seeing any "Stupid."

That's just not the way to see Penn and Teller,

so I'm gonna show you how some magicians do this.

Okay.

They will take a little extra piece of rope--

a little extra, a little extra,

a little extra piece of rope.

There we go. Little extra piece of rope.

You can finish that over there. It's only one piece.

- Do a little bit there.
- Much better at that.

Do a little bit there.

Do a little bit over there.

And what they'll do, Debbie, is they'll take that piece of rope

and they'll put it there in their hand,

but they don't hold it like that.

They hold it like this so you can't see it.

Then when they bring the rope over, they add that piece in

just like that, so you're cutting this.

You think you're cutting this, you're really cutting this,

then cutting this, then somehow, they throw that away.

But we're gonna do it for real

with the real rope you examined.

And every other time, Debbie, I have done this fast

and pulling and in your hand and all sorts of confusion.

This time, so slow, so easy, Debbie.

Take that side of it. Don't pull--don't pull it yet.

Now, you know what's gonna happen here, Debbie.

You know it's gonna go back together,

but you can watch it right there, clear, in my hand

all back together there, Debbie.

Do your applause thing. Do your applause thing.

- Whoo!
- Do your applause over here.

Do your applause thing over here, Debbie.

Beautiful, Debbie. Beautiful, yeah.

Now, Debbie, one more thing I'm gonna show you,

and that is woofle dust.

Now, woofle dust, you may not have heard,

but woofle dust is amazing.

It's like--oh, I dropped a lot of that on the floor.

You got this.

Now, Debbie, this--this is the magic of the whole thing.

And don't worry about us wasting rope.

This is all recycled from other shows.

Now, Deb, what you're gonna do is you're gonna take that

- in your hand...
- Yes.

But just take a little bit of it in one hand.

- Okay.
- Just a little bit--

- like, four or five pieces.
- All right, all right.

Yeah, actually, in your right hand.

Okay.

And then just kind of-- for good luck,

just kind of dribble that over your shoulder.

Just for good luck, just dribble it.

Beautiful, beautiful.

Now, Debbie, now you've got good luck.

Now we'll do the trick here, Debbie.

We're gonna take--here, just like before, and cut it,

but this time, it'll happen right before your very eyes.

Move that to your right hand. You'll see why.

Hold this, but don't pull it, in your left hand.

Now, you see those two pieces that we cut?

I'll just take the woofle dust

and just dribble it right over that.

- No, close to that. And watch.
- Okay.

And right before your very eyes,

that goes right back together

just like that, Debbie.

- Right there.
- Stop it!

Do your applause thing, Debbie.

- Do your applause.
- We're going with one.

Do your applause, and you can keep the rope, Debbie.

And please, nobody tell her how it was done.

She'll just think we're all stupid.

Thank you. Love you.

Thank you.

Phew. That was awesome. Hi.

- How are you?
- Good, how are you?

Good, good.

Well, that's a wrap for us here at "Fool Us,"

but with a little bit of woofle dust,

we'll reappear next week.

See you then.

- Sorry about that.
- Oh, my gosh.
