07x14 - Magic With a Property Brother

[bunniefuu]

From the Penn & Teller Theater,

at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas,

here is our host, Alyson Hannigan!

Welcome to "Fool Us,"

where we give magicians from around the world a stage

to entertain millions of people,

but no offense, everyone.

They're really only concerned with what two people think.

They're here to try and baffle two of the greatest minds

in the history of magic,

our very own deception detectors, Penn and Teller!

All right. Let's get this party started

and meet tonight's first potential fooler.

I'm a historian of deception.

I started out as a sleight of hand magician,

and I love card tricks, but I thought,

"Wouldn't it be cool to try and fool people

"with ancient tricks, tricks that are so old,

no one has seen them for hundreds of years?"

Ali Cook.

I was one of the first magicians

to ever appear on "Fool Us."

I performed what could be the world's oldest magic trick.

This was a big hit in ancient Egypt.

It was almost so old that it was new again.

I want to find the oldest magic tricks,

which people haven't seen for hundreds of years,

and then they're like new again.

Penn and Teller, you've seen a lot of classic magic,

but this time you're going to see some ancient magic.

With a randomly selected member of our studio audience,

ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Ali Cook!

I am indeed a bit of a magic historian,

and I'm about to introduce you to an amazing piece

of magic history, but in order

to fully demonstrate the power of my discovery,

I need the help of a total stranger.

Now, have I ever met you before?

- No.
- No.

I don't even want to know your name, okay?

- Okay.
- I just want to use

some information that there's absolutely no way I could know,

so what I want you to do

is write down your date of birth, okay?

And write it as a six-digit number so two numbers

for the month, two for the day, and two for the year.

- Okay.
- Okay?

And when you've done that, what I'd like you to do

is hand me the pen back first. That's great.

And would you just tear off the little piece of paper for me

and then hand me the pad back? Awesome. Okay.

And would you fold your piece of paper in half for me,

then into quarters? That's great.

Now, in ancient times, people used to worship holy statues.

They literally believed they were living, breathing gods.

Now, people believed it because, you see,

statues like this,

they were just absolutely rigged full of magic trickery,

and they would perform apparent miracles.

They would scream, produce fire, and even money.

Now, they were operated by priests who were conmen.

They were basically like, well, priests,

but one of the most famous of all of these holy statues

was a Greek goddess named Glycon.

Now, Glycon had the body of a snake

and the head of a queen. Now, I've tracked her down.

It's amazing who you can meet on Tinder,

although her profile pics were a little bit misleading,

but here she is.

Some of you might be thinking

it's a bit unusual to meet a snake on Tinder,

but all the women in the audience are going,

"No, no, it's not."

Now, Glycon really was an ingenious creation.

You see, the head of a queen inspired blind obedience,

while the terrifying body of a snake,

well, that was an open threat to those who would disobey,

but most of all, the superstitious masses feared her

because they were convinced that she was alive.

Yowza. Now, in order for Glycon

to demonstrate her powers of prediction,

I need to make a small sacrifice,

so does anyone have a goat I could borrow?

No? Or a virgin?

Guess this is Las Vegas.

I've got more chance of finding a goat.

Okay. Right now, let's try and narrow it down.

I'd be happy to take anyone who can remember

either seeing a goat or can remember being a virgin.

Have you ever seen a goat?

- Yes.
- Good.

Otherwise, I have to ask you a really awkward question.

Now, I have a dice here.

What I'd like you to do is take the dice.

You're going to roll it between your palms like that.

That's it. I don't want to see anything.

Roll it. Roll it. Roll it.

And then stop, but don't look at it.

- Yes.
- Yeah?

- Yes.
- You stopped.

Yeah, and it's flat in your hand, yes?

- Yes.
- And there is no chance

you could know what that number is?

- Yes.
- No, and there's no way

I could know that number,

and there is absolutely no way Glycon could know. Turn.

Stare the snake goddess in the eyes.

She will reveal all. One, two, three, four.

Open it up. Is it the number four?

- Yes.
- It is the number four.

Proof that Glycon knows all and that you two

have a special connection, but it doesn't stop there.

She can predict all kinds of numbers, lottery numbers,

PIN numbers, the number of times a week my mum asks,

"When are you going to get a proper job?"

Now, I have a feeling she's going to predict something

even more unpredictable for us right now.

Now, this is just a normal snake-god egg,

and yet inside the very center of this egg--

I don't know if you can see in here.

Right inside the very center of the egg,

there is a medallion,

and you'll be able to see that there's actually a symbol

actually engraved on that medallion right there,

and would you read out, what is that symbol?

- A Leo.
- Leo?

- Yes.
- And is that your star sign?

- Yes.
- It is your star sign,

and would you read out the date of birth engraved on the back



And is that your date of birth?

Yes, that's--

And that's the magic of Glycon.

Give it up for my wonderful helper!

Ali Cook! Hi. Hi.

- Hey.
- Let's go over here.

Nice to meet you.

Ah.

So how did you make that trick come alive?

Well, it was a crazy invention.

I was reading a book on the history of magic,

and it really is a true story.

There was a Greek goddess called Glycon,

and she actually dominated ancient Greece

because she could apparently read minds. Yeah.

Wow. Where did your love of history come from?

Well, my mum had a new-age bookshop when I was a kid.

You know these places where they sell,

like, tarot cards, crystal healing?

- Yes.
- And I just started reading,

and I just got obsessed,

and so I got into magic in a very unusual way,

so kind of through fairy tales and folklore magic, basically.

That's so cool. All right.

Let's see if you and your snake goddess fooled Penn and Teller.

Penn, Teller.

- Hello, Ali. How you doing?
- I'm all right.

Good to see you again. You know, you wormed your way

into both of our hearts.

Teller loved the old temple stuff, the old ancient gods,

and I, of course, love the carny stuff,

and you did the snake-girl illusion,

- using the snake-girl illusion.
- Yes.

And since you're familiar with history

and all the ancient gods,

you certainly know the wonderful ancient god Al Koran.

- I do.
- You do know that,

and it was very, very smart to put the star sign

on one side of it,

which really hides the method on the other

in a very, very, very nice way,

and because you're a historian,

you also know that the technique you used

on a moment's reflection on the snake girl

is an old carny illusion,

and yet it was coupled with something that--

fairly modern, so you had this wonderful mixture

of very old technology

coupled with fairly new technology

in a beautiful routine that has gods and carny trash.

What more do you want?

We love the routine, but don't think you fooled us.

Ah, do you believe that they know how you did the trick?

They definitely know a lot about the god

Al Koran, so, yes, I do indeed.

- Oh, well, thank you so much.
- Cheers.

Ali Cook!

Thank you very much! Thank you!

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

We've got to take a break,

but we'll be back with more

spellbinding stagecraft

when "Fool Us" returns.

Welcome back.

Buckle up. This next magician moves fast. Take a look.

I started doing magic shows when I was 9 years old,

and then I got a little older, and I got into powerlifting.

I was competing in national competitions,

but unfortunately, to get more results,

I started using steroids.

Steroids can wreck your body.

I had high blood pressure at the age of 20.

I couldn't fit into my costumes anymore. I was huge.

I started feeling guilty about not performing magic anymore,

so I decided to go to a magic convention,

and by luck, I just came across Slydini.

Slydini was a living legend of magic.

They called him the Master of Misdirection.

I started taking lessons from him.

He saw my dedication.

He said, "Someday, you can play at the Magic Castle."

That night, I went home. I threw out all the steroids.

He saved my life.

I'm performing this piece as a tribute to my teacher,

the great Slydini.

With three randomly selected members of our studio audience,

give it up for the magic of Tony Clark!

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Yes, I'd like to borrow those rings.

You have one ring each.

I need to borrow three rings for this,

just one ring per person. That's perfect.

One, two, and three, that's perfect.

Now, these three rings are very important

because they let me know that at least three people

will be paying attention, maybe six.

I don't know.

Now these rings are a very important part of the puzzle

you're about to see.

Let me show you the other parts.

I have a box, which you see is folded flat.

There's no top or bottom, so you can see it's empty,

completely empty, nothing inside.

Three paper napkins,

a small platform for the box to sit on top of.

This way, you can see below it, above it, and around it

at all times. Now, what's going to happen is,

I'm going to take the rings one at a time,

roll them up into a ball with the napkin,

and drop them inside this box.

The only thing is, you have to watch really close

because I'm going to do my best to make sure

you don't see me put them into the box, but in the end,

I promise you they'll all be sitting right there.

I started working on this routine many years ago

with my mentor and teacher, the great Slydini.

Unfortunately, he never saw this piece

because he passed before it was completed,

so this is an honor and a privilege

to perform it for you right now,

and as he would say,

watch the hands and your rings.

All right. Now, some of you may have missed that one.

I'm going to do it again. I'm going to break

the magician's rule and repeat the trick.

This time, I'm going to do it with no paper, just the rings.

I think the paper is throwing you off.

Here we go.

Ooh. Tony Clark!

Wow.

- That was cool.
- Thank you.

Hey. It was so touching, you talking about your mentor.

Yes. It was--Slydini was a very big part of my life

and literally is the reason why I'm standing here right now.

- Aw.
- If it wasn't for him,

I would not be, I don't know, anywhere probably.

Aw. So do you think about him every

- time you do a magic trick?
- All the time.

His methods, he was known as the Master of Misdirection.

- Mm-hmm.
- And everything I do

encompasses that theory some way or another.

So do you think "Tony Clark, 'Fool Us' Trophy Winner"

would have a nice ring to it?

It would, because, you know what?

Here is a fun fact.

Slydini's first stage name was Tony Fool 'Em.

- Aw.
- Tony Fool 'Em.

Well, let's find out if you fooled them.

Well, let's see.

- All right.
- Hey, Tony.

- Boy, you are good--
- Oh, thank you.

- Aw.
- Just really, really good,

just so smooth at what people think of as sleight of hand.

It's not often that the magician talks to us

in code at the start of the routine,

say how a lot of it was done,

but we all know that the name Slydini, your mentor,

is not only a name of your mentor

but also a code word we've used for all sorts of techniques,

and, you know, we've been around the block a few times,

and we know a lot of those Slydini moves,

and to watch you do them and do them beautifully

reminds us of why people do those moves badly,

because they see someone like you do them and go,

"Oh, these are great moves," and they are great moves,

but you've got to do them at the level that you do them.

- Thank you.
- And people forget that.

- Thank you.
- It's beautifully done,

and I got to tell you,

it was beautifully done, and we followed a lot of it,

but neither one of us

saw you get that little box into the big box,

and even though we feel like we might know everything else,

neither one of us saw that or could even figure it back,

so I got to tell you, Tony, even though you said

the word Slydini-- the magic word Slydini--

even with that in our heads to start it,

you fooled us, Tony.

Oh, yay! Ohh!

Fooler!

That's so awesome!

We have a fooler!

Tony Clark!

Thank you, Tony.

Aw.

Penn and Teller couldn't figure out

that last amazing trick,

but we'll give them another

shot when "Fool Us" returns.

Welcome back.

We showcase magicians from all over the world.

Look where we found this next guy.

Being born in the same town as Albert Einstein

definitely had an impact on me.

It inspired me to become a physicist

against the will of my father

because he is a professional magician.

My father definitely wanted me to follow in his footsteps.

He actually said to me, "Son, I thought you wanted to do

something real with your life, not science."

The truth is, magic and science

are not that different.

Today, I use magic to teach people

about innovation and problem-solving,

and I'm working on a few science books for children,

including one called "The Science of Magic."

Penn and Teller,

tonight I will teach you a lesson in science,

and to please my father, I will use magic to do so.

With two randomly selected members of our studio audience,

here is the inventive Till Haunschild.

Hi.

Please look at these cards.

All right.

- Check them out.
- Okay.

Just look at them. Go through them.

Shuffle and give them a mix or two.

- Okay.
- I'm here tonight to show you

a magical scientific phenomenon called quantum entanglement.

Now, quantum entanglement works like this:

if you have one elemental particle and you use a laser

to split it into two, those two particles

still behave as if they were one particle.

No matter how far they are apart,

if you do something to one,

it automatically happens to the other.

Now, if you think that sounds impossible,

you are not alone.

Even Einstein thought it wasn't real,

calling it, "spooky action at a distance,"

but he was wrong, and I will prove it.

Now, every great experiment starts with an empty box.

Which one do you like?

- Red.
- Red?

- Yeah.
- Here you go.

Now, I want you to take the top card.

Don't show it to anyone, but fold it up twice,

and put it in the box.

- Okay.
- Yes, take the card.

I don't look.

Fold it up twice and put it in a box.

Yes?

And then please close the box.

Great.

Now we need to create an entangled second deck.

All we need is, of course, the shuffled cards.

They go like here.

And a powerful laser...

And some raw material.

Now watch.

And now we have created a second entangled deck.

Now, remember everything that happens here or has happened

will automatically happen to this deck.

Now, please give those cards another cut.

- Okay.
- Just like this

and complete. Yes, and complete the cut.

Great. Now, let's check which card you cut to.

It's the five of hearts.

Now, in theory, it should mean that here is also--

- Five of hearts.
- Yes.

But this could be a coincidence,

and I'm a scientist, so we need to test more.

This time, can you cut the cards?

Sure.

Yes, and even you can another cut

so mixing them up really good.

Now, this time, I want you to take the top card.

Don't look at it.

- Okay.
- Yeah? Just take the top card,

and we put it face down in this face-up deck now.

- Just in--
- In the middle somewhere. Yes.

Now, to find out which card you turned over in this deck,

we can, of course, look here--

Mm-hmm.

Or...

Let's check.

And there is already one card face up here...

And when we check here, yes.

- Oh, my God.
- It's of course the same.

Wow. That's really cool.

Now, I wonder,

is it magic or science?

Wait.

In the beginning, you chose one card.

- Yes.
- Yes.

- Yep.
- And we put it in this box.

With quantum entanglement, that means,

if you have a second box,

there must be a identical card materialized in this box.

Can you check the boxes, please?

Open them and drop the cards in my hands.

Now, you chose, ah, the two of spades.

Now, if this is also the two of spades,

that means that Einstein was wrong,

and we have proof of quantum entanglement,

and I will definitely win the Nobel Prize.

Mm.

And maybe, maybe even the "Fool Us" trophy.

Yes, thank you.

- Wow.
- Wow.

Till Haunschild!

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Great to meet you.
- Nice to meet you. Wow.

So is your dad happy you kind of got back into magic?

- Yeah.
- Yeah, and you have sons?

Yes, I have twin-- identical twin boys.

Oh, you could have a lot of fun with that.

Yeah, but it's tricky to raise children with magic

because every time they are looking for something,

they point to their ear because,

for them, their father always pulled stuff from their ears,

so that was the normal storage space.

Like, "My pencil has got to be here somewhere."

Yes, somewhere,

so they're always running around, "Ball? Ball?"

So what's the similarity between science and magic?

The only difference is that, in the end, as a scientist

or an entrepreneur, you get paid for the secret,

and as a magician, you get paid to keep the secret.

- That's a good difference.
- Yes.

All right. Let's see if Penn and Teller

have figured out the theory behind your trick.

- Hm.
- Hmm.

Ah, Till, once you're doing a magic trick

and you mention Einstein, spooky action at a distance,

I just love you. I just love that,

and when you first came out and we knew you were a scientist,

we thought we could take a breather,

wouldn't have to worry about it,

but you kept us on our toes for the whole thing.

I mean, I'm not a scientist certainly,

but I love reading about multiple universes

and multiple dimensions and multiple outs

and how all different things can happen at different times

to make that spooky action at a distance happen.

We loved it all the way through.

We loved your laser.

My voice is cracking with emotion

over how much I love this act.

With all that we said there, we do think sincerely

there's a good chance you win the Nobel Prize,

but we do not think you're going to win

the "Fool Us" trophy.

- Maybe next time.
- Maybe next time.

Aw. All right. Thank you, Till Haunschild!

We're taking a quick time-out.

We'll get our next magician

into the game

when "Fool Us" returns.

Welcome back.

Earlier tonight, we witnessed Penn and Teller getting fooled.

Will this next magician also pull one over on our boys?

Let's see.

Say hello to my magic friend, Tony Montana!

Thank you. Okay.

Some magicians like to amaze the audience

with a surprise ending.

I'm going to start by telling you how these tricks end

because I think it's much more amazing.

I have a plastic tube here with a scroll of paper inside.

This is my prediction.

It will be in plain sight the entire time.

Please look it.

I'm going to ask Penn, Teller, and Alyson

to each name an object, any object in the world,

and at the end of this trick, you will see

these three objects inside this plastic tube.

Don't believe me? Just watch.

My friend, please, Penn...

- Yes.
- Would you name a color?

- I'll take the red.
- Red?

Okay, and you have your object?

- Fender Stratocaster.
- Fender Stratocaster.

Amazing. Red one?

- Yep.
- You have one already?

I don't have one. I'd like one.

Okay. Please. I know. I know Stratocaster.

I'm just going to write Strat.

Right. Okay.

Strat. Okay. Fender Strat.

Please, and these because they are very expensive.

So I'm from Argentina.

So, my friend, Teller, it's an honor to be here.

I can't believe it. Could you pick one of these?

The blue one, so please do you have already your object?

Okay. Would you--

Okay.

Penn, could you read to us?

- Yes. Test tube.
- Test tube.

- Test tube.
- With the blue.

Blue test tube, red Fender Strat.

Blue test tube and red-- the Strat, Fender Strat.

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Alyson, could you join me here with me?

- Yes.
- Please select first a color.

- Oh, go green. We don't--
-Green.

- Green to feel left out.
- You don't like another--

- No.
- Okay. Okay.

And could you name your object?

A...uh...tree.

Ah, okay. I was worried.

A--okay, a tree.

- Okay.
- I don't know which is a or--

Okay. Tree.

- Tree.
- Green tree.

- Green tree.
- You're great because

I know green trees.

Okay. Thank you. Thank you.

- Yes.
- Thank you so much.

So I have Penn's red Fender Stratocaster, Teller,

blue test tube, and Alyson, green tree.

We didn't arrange anything before this show

because I don't want nobody to think

that they are my three stooges, okay?

Great. Thank you.

So to end that, I will like to show my best prediction.

Alyson, could you give me a hand with this?

Please take the prediction from the tube.

- Okay.
- Great, and now, Alyson,

please say hello to my little knife.

- Ah.
- Okay.

Because we need to break the seals.

Okay. One, two...

Careful.

You have instruments?

Okay. It's done.

Could you stand by me here?

- Yes.
- Thank you, Alyson.

Please take this, and so we have everything.

We have Penn: red Fender Stratocaster here too,

- and I have here
- blue test tube,

and I have Alyson, of course: green tree,

signed by Tony Montana. Thank you for watching.

- Thank you.
- Tony Montana!

- Thank you so much.
- That was so nice.

So is that your real name, Tony Montana?

No, no, no. My real name is Al Pacino.

- Ah.
- No.

So what does it mean to you to be here tonight?

A dream come true. It's amazing.

It's--I can't believe it.

I have no words, and for an Argentinian man,

it's very strange to have no words.

All right. Well, let's go to the boys

and see if you fooled them.

Okay.

Tony, you know, great routine,

and before you were here, before you even came out,

just the prop was there.

Teller laid out the whole bit, what you were going to do

and how you were going to do it.

He said, "That's a prediction trick,"

and then he explained exactly

how you were going to do the prediction trick.

- Yeah.
- And then he was wrong!

Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

Yes, it was a prediction trick,

but the way he thought you were going to do it,

you didn't do it. You didn't do it.

You fooled him. He's the smart one.

He's the one that's hard to fool.

What I saw was that you didn't do a prediction trick.

You did a vanish, a transformation

and an appearance that was all concealed

from the audience just to do a prediction.

You even did a vanishing cane routine that nobody saw.

You were doing all this magic on stage,

this tremendous amount of magic,

most of the magic possible

and concealed it all to successfully fool Teller,

but I do not think you fooled me.

Am I right?

- Did they figure it out?
- Yes, yes, yes.

- Okay.
- No, yes.

- Okay.
- No, no.

All right! Tony Montana!

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Appreciate it.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Up next, a trick by Penn and Teller.

We're having a little trouble with Penn's voice,

but he's going to give it a shot.

Stick around. It's going to be great!

Welcome back.

Penn and Teller have asked me

and several members of our audience

to inspect this drum of ping-pong ba*ls

and make sure they have different numbers on them,

and we can confirm that they do.

I'll let the masters take it from here.

Ladies and gentlemen, Penn and Teller!



ping-pong ba*ls,



People from the audience just checked out,

made sure they were all different.

Now, of course, it's time to do a card trick,

and we have someone here in Vegas who loves card tricks.

Please welcome the better-looking

half of the Property Brothers, our buddy, Jonathan Scott.

Hey, man. How you doing, man?

Hey, how are you?

Pleasure.

Now, you're a big fan of magic, right?

- Love magic.
- You started out doing magic.

- As a kid, yeah.
- And you love card tricks.

I do love card tricks.

That's why we're going to do a card trick for you.

- Okay.
- Starts pretty simple.

You're just going to pick a card there, Jonathan.

- Okay.
- Take any one you want.

- Take a look at it.
- All right.

And then memorize it and put it in your pocket.

Okay.

We're done with it for a second.

All right.

Now, you probably know this trick.

I'm going to tell them about it,

- but any card at any location.
- Mm-hmm.

You know, it's a trick where someone names a card

like two of diamonds. Is that the card you picked?

That is not.

Okay. We could've ended it right there.

That would've been flipping amazing.

Yeah, yeah, and then someone else picks a number like 17.

The magician counts down, first does a little bit

of a sneaky shuffle, then counts down 17 cards,

and lo and behold, the card is right at that number,

any card at any location of the deck,

- but it's just one to 52.
- Right.

We wanted to ramp that up a little bit.

We wanted a bigger number than 52,

so we've got these cards right here, Jonathan,

and you probably also know this.

When the cards are printed, US Playing Card Company in Ohio,

they're printed on one sheet

like this. You knew that, right?

- Yeah.
- The audience might not.

They're printed on one sheet, and they're die-cut, all 52,

actually not 52.

There's actually 56. There's two Jokers here,

and there's two advertising cards,

and 56 makes it a pleasing rectangle.

We've got 52 sheets of 56, and each one is one circle.

There's the 10 of diamonds. You can hold that up

so the audience can see it right there,

and then we've got another here that is the six of spades.

You can hold that up right there,

and then Teller has got one that's a three of hearts.

I got the king of spades here.

Teller's got the nine of diamonds,

and I've got the five of hearts.

So we have 52 sheets of 56,

and each one has one card circled on it.

Now, when you were doing magic,

you probably did some sleights, right?

- Yep.
- Did some shuffles and so on.

We're going to show you a really wicked hard

sleight we learned.

This is a shuffle that we're going to do with

all of these cards at once. Watch this.

We worked on this a lot, so please appreciate it.

We're going to shuffle all these cards

at once right there.

Now see what we've done here, Jonathan, is,

we now have a much bigger number than 52.

We have 52 times 56, which is 2,912.

Exactly right.

You caught me.

The same number of ping-pong ba*ls we have over there.

Walk to the other side of our Vegas-style thing here,

and you can look in here. People examined it,

but you can see there's a lot of different numbers in there.

Yeah.

There are 2,912 different numbers.

You have a card in your pocket. You've not told us it yet.

Correct.

We're going to now pick a number here.

We're going to spin this around.

Now, bring your hands over here, Jonathan,

so that we can get you to have just

one of these fall out there,

just have one fall out in your hand there or, yeah,

okay, just more than one.

That's okay. We got-- see what we got here.

We got 1,290.

We've got 402.

Actually, you've got one.

We'll give you a choice. What do you got there?

- I have 458.
- You have 458.

You can have 402,

any one of these, any of these numbers you want.

I'm quite confident in my ball selection.

You feel good about the ball selection? Okay.

Why does everyone giggle every time you say, "Ball"?

I don't know.

Try it again.

I'm really good at picking ba*ls.

- There you go. There you go.
- Yeah.

You've got, let's see, 458. As I said,

the magician always does a rather judicious shuffle here,

so I'm going to do a rather judicious shuffle here

to try to get your card, and what is it again?

- 458.
- 458.

So here we go. 458 right there.

I don't know if we hit it. Do you think we hit it?

I don't think we did, but it's okay.

The shuffling was amazing enough.

Now, Jonathan, the hardest part of this whole trick is,

the audience has to count by 56s.

Okay? So if the card was one of the first 56 numbers,

it would be on this sheet.

This is one to 56, and the next sheet is 112.

Count with me now. Now we have 168.

We have 224.

You're not staying with me at all.

We now have 280, right?

And then we go to 336, right?



and this is 392, right?

And this is 4-- this is the one, right?



and here is 449,











There's a blank there. Out of 2,912 places,

the card could be, what card did you pick?

The eight of hearts.

Eight of hearts, pull that out there.

The eight of hearts fits right there,

the eight of hearts right there.

But, you know,

asking people to picture 2,912 is pretty hard,

but also asking people to picture

just eight hearts is not easy.

- No.
- So we want you to picture

eight hearts because eight hearts looks

just like this. Here is eight human hearts

right there, three, four, five, six.

I think we have eight human hearts right there.

There's a few more in there. That's--

oh, there are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

eight hearts. Nicely done.

That is amazing.



- Aw. Hi.
- Hi.

Thanks for watching tonight's fantastic show.

For Penn, Teller, and all of us at "Fool Us,"

good night from Las Vegas.
