Have you seen all my comments on this site? No you haven't. I used to provide very long explanatory comments. I've given that up because frankly it doesn't matter no one reads them.
I don't sit an watch videos...Noam Chomsky is one of the most respected intellectuals on the planet and not a conspiracy theorist. I had over 30 of his books that I recently gave away to the Library of the OWS movement.
I've seen enough to permanantly dismiss you as a poser with self-delusions of grandeur. The length of your "explanatory comments" seem to be directly proportional to the amount of foot in your mouth, and, when confronted with disagreement, you have a tendency to profess bona fides that said comments clearly demonstrate you don't possess. Gave 30 Chomsky books to OWS? Yeah... ok, doctor.

Don't argue with Doctor Yogi. S/he IS a doctor, you know. Ignoring the astute criticisms of his/her first post is bad enough, but also ignoring the doctor's flawless "Objectivity" is just mean.

ok, when he said "you didn't fool us" the kid just accepted it. how do we know Penn wasn't bsing?
he should either explain how it's done or tell the kid privately to confirm.

They were both pretty simple tricks for the most part. Still for a kid that age, he had great stage presence and it was wonderful to see him acknowledged as such.

Regardless if it's a simple trick. This kid passed pre-screening process, so his trick was good enough to get him on this show, so they should treat everybody with equal respect and follow their show's guidlines

I'd go with sleight of hand. He literally memorized and shuffled the deck into place. That would be a herculean feat of human agility and acuity.

Not at all, he NEVER shuffles the deck until the cards he wants are out.


You're right. I'm leaning towards a pre-fab deck that is grouped into three sections. The movement and the cards displacement are key though (perhaps mechanism if no one looks at the cards ever), I would think.

You would probably get a kick out of this guy. A master at slight of hand imo. Lennart Green.

>> ^Payback:

The man is a card master. 100% slight of hand.
Spread different groups left or right, or keep them "face" down.
The same 6 cards that say "Nine" spread right to left, say "Ten" or "Eight" if spread left to right instead.
The cards that spell "Diamonds" might spell "ClubsSpades".
He pulls out the groups that spell "Nine" and "Diamonds" right at the beginning. "Of" is there too, probably the top 4 cards.
He flips over a completely blank card every now and then as a fake out.
The groups he doesn't want are face down and make whitespace.
The places he pulls out "Your" "Card" "Is the" just happens to be where he will place "Nine" "of" "Diamonds" back into the deck, flipped, and arranged for spreading.

I've tried to avoid watching it as anything on ITV1 is a pile of tosh. Here instead of seeing Penn and Teller perform they judge magic and variety acts?? - <headslap>.
Granted this guy was entertaining but the crux of the show is handled with them looking at a piece of paper to decide if they were fooled? More than lame.

So let me get this straight, you've avoided watching it intentionally because you think it's crap. You watch one clip, decide that the whole show is exactly like that one clip, and confirm your suspicions that the show is crap.
Dude.
Anyway, the show is good, and i normally hate crap like this.

Because just watching one clip for a show like this is probably enough to generalise. This is fucking ITV, not some BBC4 documentary about Goya for cripes sake.
You see ITV1 has a track record of commissioning and broadcasting low grade material. Yet their prime-time major Saturday night hits e.g X-Factor, BGT are obviously way more popular and draw decent audiences. Their current line-up is inferior and has generally been slated. They've even got a UK version of The Marriage Ref. I've not seen that either but I'm happy to believe it's utter shite as well.
Ross looks uncomfortable here, with rather strange facial furniture, and I don't blame him. This job is dangerously reminiscent of what Angus Deayton used to do post-HIGNFY.
I recall P&T back in the day when they had a show and it was great. This derivative talent show is not.

?!?! Does that change anything re: my criticism?
As long as you think ITV comes out with shit and avoid watching everything on ITV because you think everything is shit, you'll always think everything on ITV will be shit including this show which isn't bad.
What do i care, watch what you want! You think it's crap, you haven't seen it, fine, it's crap.
Btw, i think the reason ross did this was because penn and teller have a huge international following, he's not stupid. Except when it comes to facial hair.


Fucks sake Danny, stop getting so upset. It's just a tv show. Glad you agree about the hair.
