- From the Penn & Teller Theater

at the Rio Hotel
in Las Vegas,

here's our host Alyson Hannigan.

[applause]

- Welcome to "Penn & Teller:
Fool Us"

where incredible magicians

from around the world
come together.

It's kind of like Hogwarts,
which makes me Hermione.

See, she was kind of a redhead,
and I'm a redhead.

She's amazing at magic,

and I'm a host of a magic show
on the CW.

So many parallels.
[laughter]

Now let's bring out
our own wizards,

the butter and beer of magic--

Penn and Teller.

[applause]

[clapping]

The first magician
to fool Penn and Teller

wins a slot performing
in their Las Vegas show.

So does the second magician
and the third.

Every successful fooler does.

So, if Penn and Teller
are off their game,

they might never perform
alone again.

Let's meet our first
potential fooler.

[expl*si*n]

- I got lucky.

My grandfather was a phenomenal

sleight of hand performer.

When I was seven years old,

I asked him to teach me
to do magic.

He really believed
that the greatest magic

is also the simplest,

and that's the craft
that he passed to me.

I moved to Chicago to start
a small theatre company,

and as theatre maker

the fundamental things
that are required

to make the magic happen
are the same,

which are you, me,
and our imagination.

And that's all we really need.

I get to marry the two things
that I love every day,

which are performing magic

and creating awesome
theatrical stories.

It's a pretty amazing gift
to find myself

at 38 years old
in the job that I wanted

when I was seven.

[applause]

- And now the card magic
of Dennis Watkins.

[applause]

- Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen.

It is a thrill
to be here tonight.

We're going to attempt
a little experiment this evening

using two things--a deck
of cards and your imaginations.

Now, for this experiment, folks,

we use a new deck
of paying cards.

And we use a new deck
of playing cards

because when we get
a new deck of playing cards

they are arranged for us

in what I call
perfect new deck order.

Now, we're not going to use
all of the cards

for this particular experiment.

We are going to begin tonight
with the clubs.

And I am going to place them
one at a time into this glass

so you can all see them
nice and clearly.

That, of course, is the ten.

We have the nine,
the eight.

We have the seven, six,
the five, the four,

the three, the two,
and, of course, the ace.

The ace through ten of clubs
in perfect new deck order.

Now, from here on out,
my friends,

I will not touch the clubs.

But I am going to lift them
a little bit higher

because I want you all
to take a brief moment

and burn this image
into your heads.

The image of the ace of clubs

staring at you
through that glass, yes.

Try not to let that image go.

Now, again, we will not
touch these.

These will sit
under the protection

of the hanky.
[laughter]

And we're going to use
ten contrasting cards

as we continue.

Let's use the...the diamonds.

The ace through ten of diamonds,

again, in perfect
new deck order,

though these will not
stay this way.

Penn.
- Yes.

- If you don't mind, sir.
- I don't.

Would you--thank you--take
the ace and ten of diamonds.

You can hold them
face down in front of you

and just give them
a little mix, Penn,

a little bit of a shuffle.

That's right, it doesn't have
to be anything fancy, sir.

But, if you would, make sure
you completely change the order

of those ten cards.
- I will.

- Do you feel like those
are adequately shuffled?

- I do.

- Would you hand them
to Teller, please?

Teller, if you don't mind,
give them another cut

just for good measure.

Ah, yeah, see.

That's the one
that's gonna do me in.

Good work. Give them a round of
applause, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you, gentlemen.

[applause]

Hello.

We have the ace
through ten of diamonds

in a new and different order.

Thank you, gentlemen.

They are now the only cards
we will use. Hello.

What is your name?
- Ariana.

- Ariana. Lovely.
- Yeah.

- Ariana, I'm going to move
my finger

around this fan
just like this.

And, as I do that,

as I move my finger
around the fan

I would love it if you would
simply call out the word "stop"

at any point.

- Stop.
- Right there?

We're going to take
that card, Ariana,

turn it over
and put it right back in, yeah.

That gives us just a little bit
more chaos in the bunch.

And these come over
into glass number two.

Now, ladies and gentlemen,

it would be amazing
to fool Penn and Teller.

But my goal
is a little bit simpler.

I hope only to spark
your sense of wonder,

to ignite your imagination

because I believe
your imagination

is a very powerful thing.

And I believe that
if you allow it

it can literally change
the way you see the world

in front of you.

For example, when last
you looked over here,

you saw the ace of clubs
facing you.

But if you tried
to see something different,

and I mean really tried
to see something different,

perhaps you look over here

and you spot
the five of diamonds.

So, instead of
the ace of clubs, folks,

you imagine the five of clubs
to match.

It is possible
that your imagination

just might convince you...

[crowd gasps]

That it is so.

[applause]

And even though you know

behind that ace of clubs
sat the two of clubs,

if you tried
to see something different,

perhaps you look over here
behind the five of diamonds

and you spot the eight
of diamonds.

And you then imagine that
all of the clubs

have changed order
to follow suit.

That would mean that over here
you saw...

The eight of clubs.

[applause]

And if you really tried,
if you really tried

behind those eights...

you might see aces.

[crowd gasps]
After aces, maybe tens.

After tens, possibly nines.

After nines, maybe threes.

After threes, two cards
looking the wrong way.

And you would remember, Ariana,
that you selected one.

We turn it around,
we put it right back in.

That, ladies and gentlemen,
was the four of diamonds,

and over here
we have the four of clubs.

[applause]

Thank you.

In fact...

that--that is all ten cards.

[loud applause]

Thank you very much.

- Wow. Dennis Watkins.

Oh, wow.

That was so cool.

- Thank you so much.

- If it were up to me,
trophy all the way.

- I truly appreciate that.
Thank you.

- Well, how long have you
been doing

these amazing card tricks?

- I've been doing magic
most of my life.

As a seven year old kid
who wanted to learn to do magic,

I had everything
I could possibly want.

I had a granddad
who was a great magician.

He had friends who were
all professional magicians.

He had access
to a magic shop.

It was, you know,
it was heaven

for a little magic geek, me.

- So what are your favorite
moments in magic?

- The moments where I get
to look at the audience

and see that they're having
as much fun as I am.

You know, frankly,
we live in a world

where we don't get
to experience a lot of wonder

and a lot of joy
and a lot of mystery

in our daily lives.

We have jobs and kids
and responsibilities.

And magic is an art
that gives people

the opportunity to sit back,
to relax,

and, as my grandfather
would say,

feel like a little kid again.

- All right, well,
let's check in with the boys.

All right, Penn, Teller.

- Yeah, well,
we both loved this.

- Oh, thank you.

- We're both very sympathetic.

- Good, good.
- The whole trick was wonderful.

But I've got to tell you,
you know, this is something

that's often forgotten in magic.

Magicians get
a really wonderful trick,

and they try to add
so many jokes to it

or add a story to it
or say, you know,

these aren't actually cards.

These are my Tibetan masters
on sleds

going down in fire.

What I love about this,
it's like, you know,

it's like TV's "Law and Order."

It's just procedural.

Here's what I'm gonna do,
and I did it.

- Right.
- I really like that.

It's often easy to forget
with magicians

that simply doing the trick
and explaining as you go

is a wonderful way
of doing it.

We loved it
all the way through.

And, you know, Teller and I
have been known to lie,

but in this case
we're not two-faced.

We're telling you
the absolute truth.

We just loved it
from beginning to end, man.

- Terrific, well, thank you
very much, gentlemen.

It's a thrill.

- Wait, was there some sort

of code word in there?

- There might have been.

- [laughs]
- Man, that's good.

So you understand that
they know how you did--

- I do indeed,
and they do indeed.

- Man, you guys are good.
All right, Dennis Watkins.

- Thank you very much.
Thank you.

[applause]

- Not only do we have
more magicians on the way,

but we also have
an unforgettable performance

by Penn and Teller.

So, stick around.

[applause]

[jazz music]

[applause]

- Welcome back to "Fool Us."

Keep your eyes peeled,
and take a look

at our next performer.

[expl*si*n]

- I'm Jeff McBride.

I'm a magician
and a magic teacher.

My specialty
is sleight of hand.

No tricks or boxes
or apparatus, pure magic.

Magic is a very ancient form,

and it needs to be passed on
to future generations.

I started
the Magic and Mystery School,

and it's been going
for over 25 years.

This school is
the real Hogwarts.

This is where the future
magicians of the world

come to train.

We have courses
on just about every subject--

sleight of hand magic,
the art of street magic,

even illusion magic.

It's important for people
to remember

that even though we live
in a high tech world

that there are
high touch mysteries

that touch the soul.

[applause]

- Our next magician
teaches magic,

but can he school
Penn and Teller?

Let's give it up
for Jeff McBride.

[applause]
- Good job.

- Two simple bowls,

which you can examine
and find them

perfectly ordinary.

- We did do that.

- My magic teacher,
Eugene Burger,

says that magic is not
so much a puzzle to be solved,

but it's also a mystery
to be experienced.

And now I present
my favorite piece

of magical theatre.

The rainmaker.

[mysterious music]

[thunder claps]

Oh...

[music quickens]

[applause]

[chiming]

[laughter]

[applause]

- Jeff McBride!

[applause]

- Very nice.
- Thank you.

- Well, I just want to know

where the [bleeped]
the water came from.

- [laughs]

- That was crazy.

What inspired that trick?

- Well, I travel
all around the world,

and I study the magic
of different cultures.

And I collect different
magical treasures

from different places
in the world,

and then I take them
and re-work them

and make them my own.

- And I'm told that you hold
word records.

- I have three world records
in sleight of hand

and the fastest hands
in the world

with a deck of playing cards.

- Wow, all right,
you've got three world records.

Let's see if we can add
a "Fool Us" trophy to that.

Penn, Teller.

- Oh, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff,
Jeff, Jeff, Jeff.

We've been fans of yours
as long as we've been a team.

Way back in New York City,
we've been watching you work.

Let's first tell people
a little something

about what they just saw here.

The word "illusion" is thrown
around very sloppily in magic.

You know, there should be--

there should be
these real terms of art

and delineations.

This really is an illusion

because we can tell you
absolutely,

honestly there's nothing
gimmicked about those bowls.

There's nothing gimmicked
about the water.

There's nothing gimmicked
about your sleeve

or your outfit or nothing.

As a matter of fact,

there was nothing gimmicked
anywhere.

It is just an illusion.

It is illusion
done so beautifully

that there absolutely is
nothing to bust.

It's your entire routine.
You created it.

And still there's another way
to put nothing to bust,

and that is, Jeff,
you fooled us, babe.

- Whoo!
[applause]

We have a fooler.

Aw.

Fantastic, well-deserved.

- Beautiful, beautiful.

- Very beautiful.

Aw, Jeff McBride,
ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you so much.

Whoo!
[applause]

I bet two people on this stage

feel a little less smart
right now.

Penn and Teller are fooled.

We'll let them recover
during this commercial break.

[chiming]

Aw...

[applause]

[jazz music]

[jazz music]

[applause]

- Welcome back to "Fool Us."

We gave away our first
"Fool Us" trophy tonight.

Let's see if we'll be
giving out another

to the next magician.

[expl*si*n]

- My parents are
traditional Asian parents.

They came to America
wanting a better future

for their children,

and when I got into magic
they were pretty worried

because they wanted their son

to have a very stable job
and future.

Applying for college,
my father recommended business

because he was also
a business major.

And it turned out to be probably
one of the best decisions

of my life.

In my start-up company,
the magic fits perfectly

with networking with people
and connecting with them.

I really want to live life

doing what I love,
what I'm passionate about,

and magic is just that.

[applause]

- He isn't old enough to drink,

but he is old enough
to drive....

Penn and Teller crazy, that is.

Give it up for 19 year old
Kevin Li.

[applause]

- How many experiences
do you have in a year?

How many do you actually
remember?

How many do you want
to remember?

To make sure I remember
everything worthwhile,

about a year ago
I challenged myself

to take one instant photo
every single week

of my most favorite memory.

I would then attach the photo
to a playing card,

something I always
have on me.

A deck has 52 cards

just like a year
has 52 weeks.

[makes expl*si*n sound]

[laughter]

When we look at photos,

it takes us back
to that moment in time.

And we almost feel
what we felt then.

[snaps]

This was
my birthday celebration

with a few of
my closest friends.

Just looking at this photo
right now brings me back.

[muted chatter]

I feel like I'm there right now.

I hear all the sounds.

Let's see.

Oh, this was taken
after a 5K race,

and it was my personal record--

wait, is that--that's
a photo b*mber right there.

I know what we can do.

We can just take
that photo b*mber

right off.

And now that looks pretty good.

[applause]

But I think it can look
a lot better

if my hair wasn't
so out of place.

So watch my hair.

Not here, here.

If we get a small breeze
like this.

[wind noise]

My hair is now back into place.

[applause]

And that looks really good.

Hash tag no filter.

[laughter]

Ah, here we go.

My brand new record player.

I love listening to its music,

but I also enjoy watching
the vinyl spin round and around.

When it spins, that's when
the music starts.

[record scratch]

Needs to be a bit faster.

[moody music]

Tonight is actually
the last week

of my one photo per week
challenge.

Here I have the last card.

These are memories
for me to keep,

but I want tonight
to be a memory

that all of you will keep.

So, I have a photo
for all of you.

Sometimes, we want to relive
our memories

and make them last
a bit longer.

♪ ♪

This moment I have
with all of you right now,

I want to suspend it more.

[applause]

[applause]

Like I said, this moment
with all of you

here

brings my year full circle.

Thank you.

[applause]

- Kevin Li, everyone.

Hi, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- That was really cool.

- Thank you so much.

- Do you involve
social media

in your act all the time?

- Yeah, definitely.

I think social media
is a great way

to reach out
to a lot more people

because I want my magic
to be relatable to people.

I want the magic to be
the medium

between us
and conversations.

- Yeah, and I would imagine that
you being so cute and young.

- Thanks, I try.

- You'd have a big following.

- Alyson, I'm sure
a lot of people

take photos of you, right?

- Eh, a time or two.

- Me too.

[laughter]

- They will after this.
- Yeah.

- So, do you happen
to make funny faces

sometimes in the photos?

- All the time.

- Okay, so how about
both of us

try to make
our funniest faces--

- Okay.
- And look right there.

On the count of three.
- Okay.

- All right, one--
- Two.

- Two, three.
- Three.

[camera flash]

[laughter]

- I love it.
- Yeah.

- There's going to be a meme

or a GIF of that
in, like, two weeks.

- Awesome, all right,
well, let's see

what the guys think.

- Okay.
- All right.

Boys?

- You know, Kevin, I think
it's important to point out

that the first things
Teller said to me

when we first were
supposed to be working

on your trick

was Teller said to me,

"Isn't that
the most perfect routine

"you'd want to do
when you were that age?

"Isn't that exactly
what you'd want to say

when you're looking at how
your life is going to add up?"

And Teller, I will say,

was really, really
choked up by it.

So, the whole emotion
of the routine

was really--was really,
really beautiful.

and spoke directly
to Teller.

And, if Teller we the one
who was doing the speaking,

he'd be talking right now
about how important

the emotional content is.

And sometimes we get
so tied up

in tricks and trickery

that we forget that
it actually is

when all is said and done art.

And you're supposed
to be speaking

a little bit from your heart.

And you spoke from your heart
in a way

that spoke directly
to Teller's heart.

So, we can talk about,
you know,

color changes on the card moves.

We could talk
about rising cards,

and we could talk about
the thread of the story

being held together

and all of that stuff
that you did.

We had a pretty good idea
how you did the tricks.

I hope I gave you
a little sneak.

But, more important than that,
I think you spoke to Teller

in a way that few other
performers have or did.

- Thank you so much.

- Aw.
[applause]

- Thank you.

- So, did you hear enough
to know

that they figured it out?

- I did.
I'm totally fine with that.

- But what
an incredible compliment.

- Yes.
- All right, thank you.

Kevin Li!
- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

[applause]

- We're going to vanish
for a moment,

and then reappear
with more magic

after these commercials.

[jazz music]

[jazz music]

[applause]

- Welcome back to "Fool Us."

Penn and Teller have been
duped once already.

Let's see if we can
mess with them again.

Here comes our next fooler.

[expl*si*n]

- Well, basically,
my college years

I was traveling,
living on a circus train.

I really learned
how to juggle in clown college,

and I still juggle
in my show all the time.

I decided to move to Japan,

and I expected to be there
two years.

And it's been 19 years now.

Almost 30 years ago,

I saw this thing
called dice stacking,

and there was this man
named Jim Zachary.

And I was just blown away.

Jim and I became good friends
over the years,

and he taught me,

and I spent many nights
at his dining room table

stacking dice, stacking dice,
right.

My performance tonight
has become a tribute to him,

this amazing genius
who really popularized this art.

[applause]

- From Florida via Japan--

whoa, he needs
a new travel agent--

here is Steve Marshall.

[applause]

- Thank you.

Hi, I'm Steve,
and I have a problem.

[laughter]

Well, it's not really a problem.

It's more like an obsession.

See, ever since I was a kid,

I've been fascinated by dice.

Dice magic, dice tricks,
dice games,

diced ham,
you get the picture.

As a matter of fact,
one of my fondest memories

as a kid was playing a dice game
out in the schoolyard.

It was a simple game.

Four dice and a dice cup.

We'd shake it up,
roll out the dice,

and add up the total

that was showing on the tops
of the dice.

Whoever had the lowest score
was the winner.

Sometimes, we'd even bet
our lunch money.

On days like these,
I usually went hungry.

[laughter]

That's because there was
this one kid, Raymond.

And Raymond was...
how can I put this nicely?

Raymond was a dirty, rotten,
filthy cheater.

See, when we roll the dice,
we'd roll 'em like that.

But Raymond would turn the cup
upside down

and shake 'em like this.

We thought that was cool,

but what we didn't know

was that Raymond was actually
stacking the dice up.

So we could only see
the number on the top,

and he would always win.

Well, I had a talk
with Raymond.

Turned out this was a thing
called dice stacking.

Who knew it was a thing?
[laughter]

Now, one time,
he decided to show off.

And he asked me a question.

I'm going to let
somebody else help out today.

Sir, right here
with the beard.

Name a color quick.

- Green.
- Ah.

Raymond's favorite color
was blue,

but you were so close.

See, but it gave him
a different color die.

And he would stack them up
like this.

Now, this is position one.
This is number two.

This is position three
and number four.

Which position would you like
the blue die to be in?

One, two, three or four?

- Two.
- Two.

The most difficult position
of all.

[laughter]

Number two.

He would actually show off
by raising the cup

in the air.

He could even call the number
on top.

[applause]
Oh, thank you.

No, it's okay.
Number two, watch.

Watch. In the air. Watch.

Not only is it number two.

But the number six
is the top number, watch.

Position two.

And the number six
is on top.

And that was my introduction
to dice stacking, thank you.

Well, that was the way
Raymond did it.

But I wanted to learn
myself how to do it.

So, I ran right home,

and I didn't have
a fancy dice cup.

I didn't some fancy dice.

All I had was a juice can.

And I cut the bottom
out of the can.

You can do this yourself
at home.

Drink the juice first.
Trust me on this one.

And I only had two dice
in a game.

So what I did was
I cut the dice in half.

And this gave me

these little tiny
half dice pieces.

Now what was good about that

was that they would stack up
lower

giving me a smaller, lower
center of gravity.

This made things much easier
to practice.

Now, it's all in the wrist.

[clinking]

Now, stacking dice is a lot
like falling off a building.

It's not the speed
that gets you.

It's that sudden stop
at the end.

[laughter]

The nice thing about this was

there's a hole
in the top of the can.

So you can check to make sure
they're stacked up.

Remember I told you that was
the easy way to stack them,

the small way.

Who knew there would also be...

The most difficult way
to stack them.

[applause]

Four dice stacked on edge.

No magnets,
just four dice.

Well, this is when
the obsession really kicked in.

You see, I needed more dice.

I needed a bigger cup.

Nine dice.

Count with me, please.

Here we go.

One, two...

- [crowd] Three, four, five,

six, seven, eight, nine.

- One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.

The incredible nine dice stack
of death.

Thank you. Well.

[applause]

I got to tell you,

the hard part isn't really
stacking the dice.

The hard part is getting them
in the cups

with these big dice in there.

This lemon in there.

And this--and--
wait a second.

Oh, I forgot to tell you,
you also need this.

Not to stack dice,

because you should never
stack dice in a clear cup.

You need this to pour the juice
out of the can.

[applause]

And say, "Cheers."

Thank you.

[applause]
- Pete Marshall!

Aw.

Where did you come up
with that?

- I saw this
a long time ago.

It's an old--actually,
it's an old art, dice stacking.

But when I first saw it, it was
with a guy named Jim Zachary.

And Jim was the first man

to actually create
an entire act

out of dice stacking.

And I was fortunate enough
to become friends with him.

And he actually taught me
this act.

So he--and he actually
made this cup.

He made the half dice.

The half dice
was his idea.

And unfortunately right before
I left Japan to come here

Jim passed away.

So tonight became
kind of a tribute to Jim.

- Oh.

- So Jim Zachary was

the original dice stacking guy.

Yeah, so thanks.
- Wow.

[applause]

- All right, well,
let's go to the boys.

- Okay.
- Boys?

- I love this.
I love this so much.

You know, I started out
as a juggler.

- Right.
- And I love juggling.

And I first saw dice stacking
done by Eddie Fetcher.

- Ah.
- The Forks Hotel, Buffalo.

And I immediately bought
his books on dice stacking,

which are not the first books
written on it.

But I loved him,
and I got the dice cup,

and I go the dice.

And I worked for so much longer

than I want to admit

for how little I'm able to do.

Uh, so I think that
everybody in here,

someone who worked on it,

as much as everybody else
loved it,

I loved it even more.

That stuff's really hard
and really beautiful.

And I find it
so aesthetically pleasing.

And I also love that
for a lot of this

it's juggling
masquerading as magic.

You see guys all the time
who are card mechanics.

It's really nice to see
a dice stacking mechanic

and just lay it out there
as juggling.

And the cups and ba*ls

ending for the final loads
at the end

is a really, really nice touch.

But, for me, all you needed
was the dice stacking.

But that part of it
is juggling,

and I loved it,
but I don't think you fooled us.

- Okay, thank you very much.
Thanks. Great being here.

[applause]
- So do you know that they--

- No, no, but it was fun.

I'm glad I got to come out here
and do that so.

- All right, well, it was
so entertaining.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you so much.

- Thanks, guys. Thank you.

- Steve Marshall,
ladies and gentlemen.

That may be enough
fantastic illusions

for some other TV shows,

but not here.

We've got one more for you,

a trick by the legends
themselves, Penn and Teller.

[applause]

[jazz music]

[jazz music]

[applause]

- Throughout Penn and Teller's


they have proven themselves
to be innovators

with both today's
cutting edge modern magic

and the classic tricks of old,

all the while putting their
unique P and T stamp on them.

Here they are,
the timeless Penn and Teller.

- Thank you, you know--
[clears throat]

We're going to do something
a little different here.

We can't really have
all the magicians

on the show we want to have

because of contract problems.

Right, if someone has
a TV special on another network,

they can't come over
on the CW and do our show.

And also if someone has
a show at a casino here in Vegas

they can't come here to the Rio
and do the show here.

And so there was one magician

that the producers said
they were sure

she could fool us.

We couldn't have her on the show

because she works
at a different casino

here in town.

We found out that
she came to the taping tonight,

and we checked
with the producers backstage.

And they said if I don't
say the name of the casino,

I don't say the name
of the show she's in,

and I do not say her stage name

but just her real name,

we could have her onstage.

Now, I want to make this
very clear.

We want to say we want
to put her on the spot

because the producers said

that she had a trick
that could fool us.

We want to see it. So we're
going to try to get her.

I want to bring her up here.

I'm not going to use
your stage name

or the casino name
or the show name.

Just give me your real name.
What's your real name?

You, right there.
- Constance.

- Constance, come up here,
Constance.

You all know who she is,
do not say her name.

This is Constance right here.

We were told you had
a trick you could do

with a genie tube
where you could pull a rabbit

out of a genie tube,
is that right?

- Yes.
- Good.

Now you have nothing up
your sleeve as we can see here.

Here's the genie tube.
This is our own genie tube.

It's not hers.

And you say you can pull
a rabbit out, is that right?

Good, pull a rabbit
out of that, Constance.

Yeah, that's--
that's a handkerchief.

That's not a rabbit.
You can try again.

It's a good trick.
It was empty and everything.

But, yeah, you can try,
try again.

Those are just
colored handkerchiefs.

Those aren't really--
it was an empty tube.

It looked pretty good,
but it's not--

So that's a lot of stuff
for an empty tube, Constance.

But it's not a--
it's not actually a rabbit.

It's just--you just keep pulling
handkerchiefs out of there,

and there's not really a--

we were hoping,
we were told a rabbit.

The producers said
there was a rabbit.

But as you can see
it's a totally empty tube.

We didn't get a rabbit
out of there.

Try for the rabbit
would you please, Constance?

Try right there for the rabbit.

That's actually just streamers,
Constance. That's not really--

That's not really a rabbit.

It is an empty tube however,
Constance,

but it's not really a--
it's not really a rabbit.

Yeah, keep--keep--
we were told a rabbit.

We were promised a--
oh, there you go, Constance.

I guess that's--that's what

they must have meant there,
Constance.

They must have meant
a picture--

a picture of a--
of a rabbit there, Constance.

Now, Constance, what's
the magic word

you're famous for, Constance?

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

That's it, right there.

There's a real rabbit you pulled
right out of there, Constance.

Beautifully done,
beautifully done.

And that's our rabbit
Elsie there.

Constance, I want you to know
very clearly

that was just a joke.

You didn't fool us.
Get off the stage.

[applause]

Constance, there.
Constance!

That's our rabbit Elsie.

- Oh my goodness.

Aw. Thanks to all
of tonight's magicians

and Penn and Teller.

We're done for tonight,

and now we're going to party
like it's 2017.

Which for me means
drinking tea

and surfing Pinterest.

See you soon.

[applause]
