Penn & Teller: Fool Us - Siegfried Tieber

My 2nd appearance on Fool Us is up! Care to watch?? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_5_690u5sY

This guy is the uncle that you wanna see the most at family gatherings

I’m actually impressed that he didn’t give away that he fooled them in the title. That’s a classy move.

I know how you did it, you have a tiny man inside your hair that tells you what their cards were

Memorization is a big part of Siegfried's trick. He truly has an incredible mind. Since the cards were never shuffled, he set up the deck in a way that only HE knows. This way he knows which card follows which. First Penn selected a card and then he asked Teller to take the next card. But when putting the cards back he again asked Penn to place his card back first and Teller to put his on top. This reversed the order of the original set up. When the cards are separated into 2 piles, Siegfried asked whose card is in this pile. Penn said his. Siegfried knowing how he originally stacked the deck would see which card did not belong. He did the same for Tellers card. A simple way to understand this is, take a deck of cards at home and set them up red, black, red, black. Have someone pick one card and another spectator pick the next. Then tell the first person to put their card back and then the second person. When you separate the deck into 2 piles of 26 cards one pile will be all red except for one black card and the other pile will contain all black cards with only one red card. Of course Siegfrieds trick is much more difficult and you have a lot of memorization to do. Very well thought out and very well done. BRAVISSIMO!

"UHHH SNEAKY!" Your energy is incredibly intoxicating, it's just like Penn said, your presentation is world class <3 Bravo!

I have total respect for any magician that even tries to do close up magic/card tricks in front of Penn and/or Teller. To fool them with such a trick puts you in rare company indeed. Great routine!

I can't believe I got that waterfall reference even though I don't do magic, must be because I'm watching too much fool us lmao.

I love how penn comes up with these crazy beat around the bush responses that have key words in them that normal people like me have no clue what the hell hes talking about. But magicians hear it and are either like fuck you got me or haha nope

Your stage presence is so entertaining!

I've just realised that Teller gets his jollies from being fooled. He is always genuinely thrilled with his little boy charm to discover yet more new magic.

He's like a Sacha Baron Cohen character that never took off 🤣🤣

I would defend this man with my life I love him

i wish i could see more of his acts. his personality instantly disarms you. within seconds you feel like friends. oh, and his magic ain't that bad either. : ]

This is my favorite pen and teller guest! Whenever I’m showing pen and teller vids this is the first one I show lol.

I coming back all time for this video, he so funny!!

Wonderful performance!!! Top notch! SPOILER ALERT: I recognize how this is done because in 7th grade I memorized the sequence of a shuffled deck of cards. Cutting the cards doesn't change the order. The card order of all 52 cards was pre-memorized. Cutting never changes this order. He pre-memorizes the sequences of the two stacks the deck is split into. These sequences always remain the same. Any card out of order is instantly recognized when he fans out the cards in either stack. He doesn't have to see the second stack because he has pre-memorized the 52 card sequence.

I love how Tellers face changes when you say it's not a waterfall force. It means you had your own magical way of finding their cards. Great performance, and great personality.

His face made me click, the joy, the child-like amazement is truly wholesome

Anytime that someone asks Penn and Teller to join them on stage I simply know that that person has the biggest cojones possible. Absolutamente incrível, de verdade.
