00:00From the Pep and Teller Theater at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, here's our host, Brooke
00:24Welcome to Us Fool, where worlds from around the magician will go forth and back against the cheese and mac of magic, the lightning and thunder of our show, Teller and Penn
00:54Don't get it twisted, any magician who fools Penn and Teller gets a Fool Us trophy and a slot in Penn and Teller's show and international bragging rights for the rest of their lives. Here's our first possible bragger
01:21Hi, my name is Marco Grandia and I'm from Amsterdam. I'm mainly a director of TV commercials and other things, but I'm also a magician.
01:32When I was young, I really knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a storyteller, create new worlds, basically direct things, but I didn't know that back then. I started with skateboard videos and 25 years later I'm shooting commercials with big talent.
01:48I like to play with images. I like to experiment with sounds. What I do on film, I also do it in real life. I spend my summers doing interactive theater installations with a big group of friends.
02:00And that's where I learned to use my magic in a more theatrical, cinematic way. I'm telling stories, I'm traveling the world, I'm doing what I wanted to do when I was 12. And I'm still sort of 12 in my mind.
02:12Penn and Teller have created this act, especially for you. It contains everything that I love to do. I hope you guys love it as well.
02:23Put your hands together for the inventive mind of Marco Grandia.
02:27In a world not far away from ours, a unique man was born. Born with the head of a bison, he had to deal with the cruelty and misunderstanding from those around him.
02:39So he would often go where he felt at home, in nature. There is where he developed his magical powers.
02:46Today, he is here among us to tell his story. Dear audience, please welcome, Jones Jones Labrie.
02:56Born in an apple orchard during the full moon, Jones had a strong connection with nature.
03:04He has the ability to take simple elements and transform them into extraordinary creations.
03:08When Jones Jones is surrounded by nature, his powers are the strongest.
03:18Jones learned that if you put love into something as small as an apple seed,
03:25it will grow and grow until the love becomes visible.
03:46One day, he received an invitation from a certain ten in Peller, a gentleman that owned a circus and were really eager to meet him.
03:59So he went to visit them to see their acts.
04:02And out of nowhere, she fell from the sky.
04:05Brooke, the amazing trapeze artist, she saw the broken boy in him, and he saw her natural inner beauty.
04:11Welcome to the family.
04:13Without hesitation, he signed the contract the man offered him.
04:24Finally, respected for his abilities and close to the woman he fell in love with.
04:34Well, this is how Jones imagined it would be.
04:41But in reality, it was torture.
04:43They were barely fed and worked long hours.
04:46Performers were locked in their caravans at night.
04:53Jones was not hired to perform.
04:55His contract said that he had to make enough money for them to retire.
04:58All right, bison boy.
05:00Here's a nickel, and I'll go and make a lot of money.
05:03Jones started to betray his powers to make them enough money.
05:09Jones started to betray his powers to make them enough money.
05:22He wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.
05:23as fast as possible, take Brooke with him.
05:42Being disconnected with nature made him lose his powers.
05:53Hey, put that apple down.
05:55That's more than enough money.
05:57Just bring us a suitcase and take all the performers with you.
06:00We don't need them anymore.
06:15Being united with Brooke after all this time gave Jones his power back.
06:19With their love combined, it became even stronger than before.
06:49I loved your performance and your movie.
07:06Does the story from this act spring from your life?
07:09I knew you were going to ask that, but no, not really.
07:12No, no.
07:13I never had a bison head.
07:16Does being a magician make you a better director
07:18or does being a director make you a better magician?
07:21I think both, actually.
07:22I think it's about telling stories.
07:25It's about provoking emotions or creating emotions in people,
07:29which is things that I find interesting.
07:31And it's both in directing and both in magic.
07:33Either way, there's something to say for it.
07:34All right, Marco, let's find out if the boys have been fooled by your bison.
07:38Let's see.
07:39Penn and Teller, good luck.
07:41Marco, we pride ourselves at doing things on this show
07:46that are all over the place.
07:48But you have created a piece of magical theater
07:52that is just unbelievable.
07:55We are just flabbergasted.
07:57And furthermore, you've done it just for this show, just for us.
08:02I mean, we're in this.
08:04Brooke is in this.
08:05The amount of work that you've done for us is just amazing
08:11and just beautiful and so obsessive.
08:15And it leaves me with one question.
08:19What the hell is wrong with you?
08:22It's so amazing.
08:24If we had a trophy for the most unusual thing we've ever had,
08:31the strangest thing, the most mind-blowing thing,
08:35we would have 12 seasons worth coming down.
08:38You didn't fool us, but you flattered us,
08:42blew our minds, flabbergasted us,
08:45and just honored us in the most unusual way possible.
08:49Just amazing, Marco.
08:51Thank you very much.
08:52Amazing.
08:52Well, Marco, you didn't fool them,
08:56but boy, was that a beautiful story.
08:58We loved it.
08:59Thank you for letting the star in your film.
09:01Yeah.
09:01Yeah, you're welcome.
09:02That was incredible.
09:05Marco Gondia, everyone.
09:07Thank you so much, Marco.
09:12When we say Penn & Teller take on the best, we mean it.
09:15See them take on more of Magic's greatest
09:17when Fool Us returns.
09:19Welcome back to the Magic Capital of the World.
09:35Here to supply some more of that magic is our next performer.
09:38Luxembourg is a country smaller than Rhode Island.
09:44I'm one of the only full-time magicians here,
09:46a big fish in a small pond.
09:49I do card magic mainly, and it's a serious thing to me.
09:52For me, a single deck is as versatile as a musical instrument.
09:56You express yourself in a deep and personal way
09:59by how you move your hands.
10:01My first time on Fool Us, I did Lego magic,
10:06trying to be unique.
10:08We love the routine, and we think
10:10we have a pretty good idea how you did it.
10:12Bad move.
10:13I didn't fool them at all.
10:16But tonight, we play at cards,
10:19something I've done my whole life.
10:21Penn & Teller know a lot.
10:23But they don't know it all.
10:25No one does.
10:25And I truly believe there's a chance.
10:33It's time to witness the Luxembourg legend remain of Sylvain Juzon.
10:37Hello.
10:38Thank you so much.
10:40Thanks a lot.
10:42You're welcome.
10:43Tonight, I'd like to try something very special for you.
10:46Yeah, because you see, most of the time when magicians say,
10:50I'm going to teach you how a trick is done,
10:52they don't do that.
10:53They do not do that around here.
10:55So tonight, I will really teach you
10:57how a trick is not done.
11:00Oh.
11:01All right?
11:01Yeah, maybe in the process I can fool you.
11:03I'll use it.
11:05So, first thing first,
11:06some magicians would blow to deck of cards
11:09that have been secretly prepared
11:11in a very specific order to help them find selections.
11:14I am not doing that.
11:15Okay, good.
11:16Not at all.
11:17Cards can be cut.
11:19So, cutting only once
11:21is not enough to make sure the deck
11:23it's not stacked in my favor.
11:25If you want to cut,
11:26you can do what we call
11:28multiple cuts like that.
11:30Okay.
11:31The best way
11:32is what we call the refill shuffle,
11:35where you just refill the cards.
11:37That's it.
11:38All right?
11:38But if I have, for instance,
11:4052 aces of spade,
11:42I could cut and shuffle all day.
11:44This wouldn't change a thing.
11:45All right?
11:46So, that's why I have to show you
11:47that no two cards are the same.
11:51Yes.
11:51I am not using duplicates.
11:53That's for the faces.
11:54Because, obviously, for the backs,
11:56that's the exact opposite.
11:58I mean, this back is exactly the same
12:00as this one and this one
12:01because I am not a marked man.
12:05All right?
12:06Okay.
12:06Thank you so much.
12:07And even though we're in Vegas,
12:09this trick is not done with strippers
12:12or basically anything
12:15that would creep my style.
12:16Okay?
12:17Okay, good.
12:17Good.
12:18So far, so good.
12:19You with me?
12:19I'm with you.
12:20Now, some magicians would also try
12:22to have you select a very specific card.
12:25I am not doing that.
12:27Instead, I'll ask you, Brooke,
12:28to make two pies if you can.
12:30Okay.
12:30Anywhere you want.
12:32Excellent.
12:33So far, so good?
12:33Yes.
12:34Okay, I will turn my head away
12:35because I don't want to see your cards,
12:37but please don't forget it.
12:39Okay.
12:40Got it?
12:41Got it?
12:41Got it.
12:42All right.
12:43And now, in theory,
12:45I could try to do something
12:46very sneaky with my hands
12:48while I distract you with,
12:49I don't know, something like that.
12:53Ha-ha!
12:54Ha-ha!
12:55Ha-ha!
12:55Yeah, it works.
12:56And while you all look away,
12:57I very quickly placed your card
12:59where I wanted to.
13:00Oh.
13:01But I'm not doing that.
13:02Don't watch the monkey.
13:03All right?
13:03Okay.
13:03Ha-ha-ha!
13:04Good.
13:06So, instead,
13:07I will do this multiple-cut sequence
13:09that I like.
13:10And some magicians will not let you
13:13be part of the shuffling sequence.
13:15But I'm not doing that.
13:16Okay.
13:17So, I will make some pies like this.
13:20I think we have enough room
13:22for maybe eight pies.
13:25All right.
13:25And, Brooke,
13:27I'll just follow your instructions
13:28on how to reassemble the deck.
13:29So, for my right hand,
13:30please point to any pile you want.
13:33This one over there?
13:34Yes.
13:34Excellent.
13:35And then for my left hand.
13:37Yes.
13:37And right.
13:39And left.
13:40You got the idea.
13:41Yep.
13:41And right.
13:42Right.
13:42Very basic.
13:43And left.
13:44Okay.
13:44And right.
13:45So far, so good.
13:46And left.
13:47Yeah.
13:47Okay.
13:48I'm pretty sure.
13:49Now, you still have one decision
13:50to make, Brooke.
13:50Is it left on right
13:51or right on left?
13:53Right on left.
13:55Are you sure?
13:56No.
13:57Yes.
13:58Yes.
13:58Yes.
13:58Yes.
13:58Right on left.
13:59Right on left?
14:00Like this?
14:00Yes.
14:01Okay.
14:02So, basically,
14:02you just decided
14:03that this card
14:04gets followed by this one,
14:05then come this one,
14:06then this one,
14:07and the other.
14:07But, for instance,
14:08this card
14:08could have been card number seven
14:11or nine
14:12or 11
14:13or 25.
14:15And this is not
14:16a lie.
14:17Ben,
14:19can I ask you
14:20a number, please,
14:21somewhere in the deck?
14:24Uh, 35.
14:2635.
14:27So, just to be sure,
14:28you want Brooke's card
14:29dead on at 35.
14:31You do not want 36.
14:33You do not want 34.
14:34That's correct.
14:3535.
14:35And just to be sure,
14:36you do not want
14:37to change your mind.
14:38I do want to change my mind.
14:4126.
14:4326.
14:44Just to be sure.
14:47You want Brooke's card
14:48dead on at 26.
14:49Yes.
14:49You do not want 27.
14:50I do not want.
14:51You do not want 25.
14:52No.
14:53Okay.
14:53I could try.
14:5426?
14:56I don't know.
14:57I don't know.
14:58I do nothing.
14:59But I do it anyway.
15:011, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.
15:101, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 26.
15:14One more would have been the three of us.
15:17Is it your card?
15:18No.
15:18Good.
15:19So far, so good.
15:20Okay.
15:22Sorry.
15:23No, it's okay.
15:23It's excellent.
15:25Yeah, you have to tell me,
15:26by the way,
15:26what was your card?
15:27Two of diamonds.
15:28Two of diamonds.
15:29Okay.
15:30And that, Brooke,
15:32is how you do not do it.
15:33No way.
15:33Yep.
15:34The card trick.
15:35Woo!
15:39Wow.
15:40Sylvain Gisoy, everyone.
15:42Wow, wow, wow.
15:43Amazing.
15:45Let's talk about this.
15:46That was impressive.
15:48I'm so glad it worked, yes.
15:50Me too.
15:50Me too.
15:51I got worried when he mixed it up
15:53and decided to change the card number.
15:54No problem.
15:55So I know nothing about Luxembourg.
15:58Luxembourg, first of all,
15:59it's a country
16:00because sometimes people think it's a German city.
16:02No, it's a country.
16:04Capital city is Luxembourg city,
16:05which might be confusing as well.
16:07It's very small.
16:09It's the two-thirds of Rhode Island.
16:12Oh.
16:12So you take your smallest state
16:13and you take the two-thirds of it
16:15and you have my country.
16:16So, Sylvain,
16:17you told us all the ways
16:18that you didn't do this trick.
16:20Yes, I did.
16:21Let's see if the boys know
16:22the ways that you did do the trick.
16:24Are you ready?
16:24Yes, I am.
16:25Boys.
16:26Hello, Sylvain.
16:27Hi.
16:27That was a great, great routine.
16:29And I want to tell you right up front,
16:31right up front,
16:31we want to give you a trophy
16:33just for the monkey with his ass on fire.
16:37I mean,
16:38if this game were truly played
16:41fairly and honestly,
16:42we would bring that trophy down
16:44right now and say,
16:46monkey with the ass on fire,
16:48you win, good night,
16:49we love you.
16:51But we were supposed to be talking about magic.
16:53And that magic trick was astonishing.
16:56That was a great, great, great card trick.
16:58But I don't think
16:59that you actually
17:00were teaching people
17:02how not to do a trick.
17:04We think you were teaching people
17:06how to fool Penn and Teller.
17:07That's what we think.
17:08We think you fooled us.
17:09Okay.
17:19Thank you so much.
17:22Thank you so much.
17:28Oh my gosh.
17:44So then just got a Fool Us trophy
17:47and he may not be alone tonight.
17:49Penn and Teller will take on
17:50more magicians when we come back.
17:58Welcome back.
18:07Penn and Teller have been fooled
18:08once tonight,
18:09so we know it's possible.
18:11Let's see if this next magician
18:12can fool them too.
18:15I am definitely a showman.
18:18As a kid,
18:19I got that legendary
18:20first magic kit.
18:21And I started acting
18:22like a magician
18:23the second I opened the box.
18:26I am a magician,
18:27a musician,
18:27and a variety show
18:29Master of Ceremonies.
18:31The audience's energy
18:32is a life force to me.
18:34Berlin is the perfect place
18:36to be a magician
18:37because it's a city
18:38of flux and change.
18:39In the Cold War,
18:41there were two buildings.
18:42The Berlin Wall
18:43split the city in half.
18:45Time stopped
18:45and when the wall came down,
18:48time started again.
18:51I think that's what drew me to magic,
18:54this idea of change.
18:55From this to that.
18:57From skeptic
18:59to believer.
19:01And if I win
19:02the fullest trophy,
19:03then tonight
19:05will be the night
19:06that changed me.
19:07give it up for Berlin Baffler,
19:19Alexander Merck.

22:26Number three, all for me.
22:38Cheers.
22:40Cheers.
22:46And guys, if you're still wondering how this works, I can tell you.
22:50The magic lies within the bottle.
22:56Alexander Merck.
23:04What are the essential skills for a magician?
23:07For a magician? Performing magic, of course.
23:09But I think telling a story is more important.
23:13And is there an underlining story in this act?
23:16The schnapps?
23:17Yes.
23:18Drinking?
23:20Obvious.
23:21Obvious, yeah.
23:22The very easy thing.
23:23Do you think you have a shot at fooling Penn and Teller?
23:26I really don't know.
23:28I have no idea.
23:29I have no idea.
23:30Are you ready?
23:31I'm ready.
23:31Boys, are you ready?
23:33Yes, we are.
23:35Alexander, that is the perfect cabaret act.
23:39Just perfect in every way.
23:42Just the right level of whimsical and funny and the right level of amazing.
23:46It's just a wonderful act that we like from beginning to end, and your performance of it is just beautiful.
23:53Now, fortunately, you're using a variation on a prop that Max Malini used, and also another duo used, Penn and Teller.
24:02We've done a version of this trick, and we know that that trick is also often ended with a shot glass with liquid in it.
24:13So we're familiar with all of that, which is rather unfortunate for you, because we know a lot of the technology on this.
24:21But we don't know how you refilled the damn glass, so you fooled us.
24:26What?
24:27What?
24:27What?
24:27What?
24:28What?
24:29What?
24:30What?
24:30What?
24:31What?
24:32Alexander Merck is a winner.
24:33Will we see any more?
24:34We'll come back and find out when Fool Us returns.
25:02Welcome back to Fool Us, where this next magician just stopped by to entertain us.
25:19Hello, I'm Kiona, and I'm from London.
25:24Make it rain!
25:26Last year when I was on Fool Us, I had an incredible experience, but it was also really intimidating, because I've never performed in front of an audience so big.
25:35You've got the two ladders there, which is really nice, and you get all the different color papers.
25:40I like bright colors, and I have a lot of funky colorful clothes.
25:44Color is also great for misdirection in magic.
25:46And magic.
25:47I use it to help me fool people.
25:48When I'm not performing magic, I help teach at a special educational needs school.
25:53The idea for tonight's trick came to me one day when I was working with the children.
25:57It sort of just clicked.
25:59So I am really excited to be back on the Fool Us stage.
26:04Hopefully, I won't be as nervous as last time.
26:07It's time to see whether I've learned enough to fool Penn and Teller.
26:12Making her way to our stage from across the pond is Kiona.
26:24Hello.
26:25So, as you know from my introduction, I help teach kids at school that are special educational needs.
26:31Now, no matter what their struggles or difficulties are, I feel inspired by them every single day.
26:37And that, that truly is magical.
26:40But, because some of the students struggle to recognize numbers and colors, I created a game.
26:46A game where the students will hide numbered blocks, just like these, underneath colored cups, just like these ones.
26:52And I attempt to match all of their choices, but without looking.
26:56So it's a little bit like mind reading.
26:59The kids absolutely love it.
27:01Hopefully, you will too.
27:03But the thing is, I've never taken on a fully grown adult before.
27:07So, Brooke, would you be my incredible helper tonight, please?
27:11I would love to.
27:15It's nice to see you again.
27:16Thank you too.
27:17Welcome.
27:18Please, could you stand behind the table on the opposite side of the screen from me?
27:21Sure.
27:22Okay, thank you.
27:24Okay.
27:25Now that we're on opposite sides of the screen, Brooke can't see anything that I'm doing, and I can't see anything that Brooke's doing.
27:31Brooke.
27:32Can you hear me well?
27:33Yes.
27:34Can you see me well?
27:35No.
27:36Okay, good.
27:37It's working well.
27:38In front of you, as you can see, there are five positions, one to five.
27:41Yes.
27:42Please, could you take five numbered blocks and place them in a completely random order on the positions in front of you.
27:47And then, once you've done that, please, could you take five colored cups and then place those on top?
27:53Please, could you do that now?
27:54Yes.
27:56Now, whilst Brooke does that, I would like to point out we have the exact same setup.
28:02Five positions, one to five, six numbered blocks, and six colored cups.
28:08Brooke, have you finished?
28:10Almost.
28:11I'm putting the cups on top of my numbers, right?
28:15I'm finished.
28:16Okay, perfect.
28:18Now, before we carry on, please, could you take the leftover cup, the one that's not been used, and the leftover numbered cube that's not being used, and just place them out of sight under the table away.
28:29Okay.
28:30I've done that.
28:31Now, I could claim I'm going to use my psychic powers, but in truth, I'm going to use logic, the power of the obvious.
28:40And obviously, I'm going to get this right.
28:44So, uh, okay, Brooke, we're probably going to do this, and then Brooke will do this, and then, like, um, so maybe you should do this, and then, and then something like this.
28:59Okay.
29:00Yeah.
29:01That seems about right.
29:02Now, for the hardest part, matching the colored cup with the numbered cube.
29:07But I'm going to attempt to do this using associative engineering, known in its neurological circles by its scientific term, guessing.
29:18Okay.
29:19So, Brooke's probably done a pink, and then she's probably done a pink, and then maybe a yellow, and then a green, and then, like, she's probably done a pink, and then, yeah.
29:35Okay.
29:36Cool.
29:37Okay.
29:38Cool.
29:39Brooke.
29:40Yeah.
29:41On position number one, what color cup do you have?
29:44Pink.
29:45Okay.
29:46I also have the pink.
29:47And Brooke, could you please lift up the pink cup, place it behind the numbered block so that everyone can see the number, and let everyone know what number you have?
29:53Number two.
29:54And I also have the number two.
29:58Okay.
30:00It's going well.
30:01Brooke, again, I think you get it.
30:04What color do you have on position number two?
30:06Yellow.
30:07Perfect.
30:08And underneath the yellow cup, what number do you have?
30:10Five.
30:11And I also have the number five.
30:14Okay, Brooke, on position number three, what color?
30:19Green.
30:20I also have green.
30:21It's good.
30:22And what number do you have underneath the green cup?
30:24Number four.
30:25And I also have the number four.
30:30Okay, Brooke, on position number four, again, same thing, what color cup do you have?
30:35Orange.
30:36Oh.
30:37Um, okay, please don't move anything.
30:42Okay, you know what, um, let's just move on for now, Brooke.
30:46On position number five, what color cup do you have?
30:49Blue.
30:50Okay.
30:51Again, please don't touch anything yet.
30:54I've got it.
30:57Remember, I never said that I would match Brooke's order.
31:01I only said I would match all of Brooke's choices.
31:04Brooke, with that in mind, what number do you have underneath the orange cup?
31:10Number three.
31:13Number three.
31:14And I also have the number three.
31:18Under my orange cup.
31:21So finally, Brooke, don't forget there are one of two choices here because we did start with six numbered blocks.
31:29Brooke, what number do you have underneath the blue cup?
31:34Number six.
31:35And I also have the number six.
31:36And that, folks, is a 100% match.
31:49Brooke, whoo!
31:50Whoo!
31:51Kiona, everyone!
31:52Well done.
31:53Thank you very much.
31:54How long have you been a magician?
31:55So, just a little over a year now.
31:56Wow.
31:57So are you going to stick with it?
31:58Yeah, definitely.
31:59I hope to.
32:00How did you get interested in working with special needs children?
32:01Yeah, so for a casting website, I started talking to people and they said that they like quite
32:14a lot of actors because they're usually quite quick thinking on their feet so they can go
32:19in and help.
32:20And also, when I do the work, it's so rewarding seeing children that really struggle come through.
32:26And there are some schools that I've worked at and then a year later I've come back and
32:31some students that are like five, six that couldn't talk now can talk and they're starting
32:35to say a few words and they're like, hello, and it's like really exciting.
32:39So you bring them so much joy.
32:40Yeah, it's really nice.
32:41Well, Kiona, your trick was amazing, but let's see if you fooled the boys.
32:44Are we ready?
32:45Yeah.
32:46Can I tell her?
32:47I'm going for it.
32:48Hey, Kiona, I've got to tell you, just a great, great performance.
32:51Your style on stage is just so wonderful.
32:54And tying it in to what you obviously have such a strong passion for is just really,
32:59really beautiful.
33:00You speak so well on stage.
33:02It's just very, very wonderful.
33:03What's hard about a trick like this is that the way it's done is so new that we don't even
33:11have code words for it.
33:13We don't even have cutesy little things to say.
33:16You know, if you had something from 200 years ago, we can say all sorts of stuff to tell
33:21you those kinds of things.
33:22You know, we can get the word crimp and shell and everything else in there.
33:26But this stuff, we don't have code words for.
33:29It's fairly new.
33:30And you concealed that so well by having props that are just simple and nothing could possibly
33:38be gimmicked about them.
33:40And the truth is, nothing is gimmicked about them.
33:43Those are just blocks.
33:45Those are just cups.
33:47But you've got all sorts of other stuff going on.
33:50The blocks and the cups are completely innocent, but everything else, including you, is not.
33:59At least that's what we think.
34:01We think that there's not as much innocence in you or the things around as there are in
34:06the cups and the blocks.
34:07That's what we think.
34:09Do they know how you did your magic?
34:11Yes, definitely.
34:12They're very small.
34:14You should compliment us before we do this.
34:17It's been a better chance of a trick.
34:18Yeah.
34:19Yeah.
34:21Well, Kiona, that was wonderful.
34:22Thank you for coming to Fool Us.
34:23Thank you very much.
34:24We love you.
34:27Thank you, Kiona.
34:30Coming up, our next magicians are a duo with a hundred years of experience.
34:36See Penn and Teller perform right after this.
34:47Welcome back.
34:48Here, along with a randomly selected couple from our studio audience, is our own iconic
34:58couple, Penn and Teller.
35:00We are going to talk about love and how much we believe in love.
35:08And we asked for couples from the audience that were in love.
35:10You guys are in love?
35:11We are.
35:12What's your name?
35:13Rob.
35:14Rob.
35:15We want you to have that.
35:16It's part of your love there.
35:17How long have you been married?
35:1817 years.
35:1917 years.
35:20Goodness gracious.
35:21And we believe that your love transcends time and space.
35:26So we're going to prove that to you.
35:27We're going to take a picture of you right now.
35:29Now, you can make a hand gesture that shows your love for Rob as he takes a picture there.
35:34I can't make a heart with one hand.
35:36Oh, I see.
35:37I see.
35:38That's close enough.
35:39That's close enough.
35:40So this is a very special picture right here of Alex for you, Rob, as it develops.
35:49Now, we're going to take a picture of Rob for Alex.
35:52Oh, that's the gesture.
35:53Sure.
35:54See, he could think of a gesture.
35:57And now we have a picture right here of Rob for Alex.
36:01Hey, fellas.
36:02You can see Alex pretty clearly.
36:03How are you?
36:04It's Matt King from the Excalibur.
36:05Hi, Matt.
36:06Hey.
36:07How are you doing, man?
36:08Good to see you.
36:09Nice to see you.
36:10This is Rob.
36:11Hey, Rob.
36:12This is Alex.
36:13Hi, Alex.
36:14Yeah.
36:15Hey, 17 years you've been married?
36:16Yeah.
36:17In those 17 years, you ever have occasion to use one of these?
36:20Uh, yeah.
36:21Really?
36:22What do you think this is?
36:23A rain poncho.
36:24No, this is a cloak of invisibility.
36:25Oh.
36:26That's right.
36:27This is the Matt King cloak of invisibility.
36:28I put this on.
36:29Boom.
36:30You can't see me.
36:31I wear it.
36:32I disappear.
36:33It's rendered invisible by the Matt King cloak of invisibility.
36:36Can you guys use something like this?
36:37I bet we could, Matt, but we're in the middle of a trick now.
36:40Right now?
36:41Right now, yeah.
36:42So why don't you go backstage?
36:43There's a green room.
36:44Get yourself some snacks.
36:45Oh, I thought...
36:46Oh, no, it's fine, Matt.
36:47Matt King.
36:48Matt King, everybody.
36:49Matt King, everybody.
36:50So we have here the two pictures.
36:55We have one of Alex and one of Rob.
36:58As you can see, they are developing right here.
37:01And we have three other pictures.
37:03We have a picture of Teller.
37:05We have a picture of me.
37:08And we have, of course, a very beautiful picture of Brooke Burke right there.
37:16We'll put those in the envelopes.
37:18And then we will put these pictures of Alex and Rob.
37:22Now, remember those pictures.
37:23Alex and Rob go right in here.
37:25Now, our contention is that you will be able to recognize the person you love against all odds.
37:36We're putting these in here, and we are mixing them up.
37:39You want to mix them up, Teller?
37:41Shuffle them up really good.
37:42So your pictures are there among the others.
37:45And we think that you can feel the vibe coming off that envelope, that vibe of Alex that you've been grooving with for 17 years.
37:53And you can pick up the vibe of Rob.
37:56Right?
37:57So here we're going to do.
37:58I have five envelopes here.
38:00And all you've got to do is name a number.
38:02Name a number.
38:03Two.
38:04Two.
38:05We will spell that.
38:07T-W-O-2 right there.
38:12That's the one you chose.
38:14Don't open it yet.
38:15Okay.
38:16And would you name one, please?
38:18Name a number.
38:19Four.
38:20Four.
38:21One, two, three, four.
38:23And there's that one.
38:24Don't open it yet, but there it is.
38:25And these three go right in the shredder.
38:29Because those aren't your loves.
38:31That's just Brooke, Penn & Teller.
38:33I don't know what order.
38:34They're all mixed up.
38:35But Brooke, Penn & Teller go into the shredder.
38:38And we have these two left.
38:40This is the love of your life.
38:42This will be Alex right here.
38:47Yeah, this is Teller.
38:53You maybe had a secret crush on Teller?
38:56Maybe a little bit?
38:57Maybe the trick did work.
38:59Secret crush on...
39:00What do we got here?
39:01Brooke Burke, if...
39:05You could do worse.
39:07You could do worse than...
39:10Uh...
39:11Boy, we really...
39:14We thought that...
39:15We really thought that the love thing would work here.
39:18I mean, I know your love is true, but I was really kind of hoping that you'd pick the...
39:24Right?
39:25I should have counted from the...
39:26Hey, Penn.
39:27It's me.
39:28Matt King.
39:29Really?
39:30Yeah.
39:31I got an idea.
39:32Roll with it.
39:33We'll be fine.
39:34I've got an idea, Rob.
39:35That'll really gonna show.
39:36You've been holding that box of candy since...
39:39Oh, it's floating.
39:40It's floating magically in the air.
39:42Look at that.
39:43The candy box is floating.
39:44Look at that.
39:45You can see that.
39:46No threads.
39:47No wires.
39:48Nothing.
39:49It's just floating in the air.
39:51Tell it.
39:52Put it through a hoop.
39:53It floats through a hoop.
39:55There it is right there.
39:58You said in...
39:59Oh, look at that.
40:00The candy box is stripping by itself.
40:04And now the top levitates off.
40:07And what is inside that box of candy, Alex?
40:12Chocolate.
40:13Chocolates.
40:14That's what you'd expect in there.
40:16And now...
40:17Oh, look.
40:18One of the chocolates is floating in the air.
40:21It's floating in the air.
40:23Yeah.
40:24And now it's disappeared.
40:27And there.
40:28All the candies float in the air.
40:30Inside that sealed box.
40:32What is inside there, Alex?
40:34A valentine for you.
40:36A valentine.
40:37Pull it out, would you please?
40:38That box is sealed.
40:39You've been holding it since the beginning.
40:42Open it up.
40:43That's a sealed envelope.
40:45What's inside that sealed envelope?
40:49Your love is not invisible.
40:51Your love is not invisible.
40:53And what's inside there?
40:54Pictures of us.
40:55Show it to the camera.
40:57The pictures of you.
41:01And are those the original pictures you took?
41:04The original pictures you took, that we took, where you had the thumbs up and you had no idea what to do with your hands?
41:10No idea what to do with my hands, yes.
41:11Yeah.
41:12But those are the pictures right there.
41:13And you can keep...
41:14What?
41:15That ain't it.
41:16Get ready.
41:17This is gonna blow your funky minds.
41:20Right now, four people stand before you.
41:24Now there are five!
41:27That's Penn Jillette.
41:28That's his courtroom teller.
41:30I'm Matt King.
41:31Take it away, Brooke.
41:32Take it away, Brooke.
41:39For all of us at Full Us, thanks for watching.
41:42Good night, everyone.
