Will MAGICIAN Shawn Farquhar FOOL Penn & Teller on Fool Us for the second time?

I really want him on the show a 3rd time, just to piss Penn off. EDIT: The madman did it, but Shawn, I think an actual hat trick is needed for the hat-trick.

I figured it out!!!!! He's actually a mother, so he has eyes on the back of his head!!!!

Each time i hear his name im thinking of Lord farquaad from Shrek haha

My favorite thing about this trick is that it seems designed to misdirect Penn and Teller specifically. Many magicians come out and do a throw-away trick first that is obvious and just designed to warm up the crowd. By pulling out his book, he gives the impression that this is that, and there will be another trick after. So Penn and Teller might let their guard down a little bit, waiting for the warm-up to end so they can analyze the next, real trick. But suddenly, we learn that the obvious thing with the book was the trick. There was no warm-up. The act is over. Really smart move.

Aah! The classic "I made a deal with the devil" method.

You used a fake Allison.

"how do you come up with your tricks?" "sleep deprivation :D!" and a truer sentence was not uttered. holy frick this applies to many things.

What I admire the most about this trick is that I think it is specifically designed (or at least performed) to fool magicians. He intentionally makes it like there is a book switch - but there is none. He makes it look like the glasses are special - they aren't. He tries to lead them to believe it is a memory trick - it isn't. A bunch of misdirections to trick P&T to guess wrong :)

8:34 Alyson turns into a kettle.

The trick is very simple, let me teach it you guys. 1. He gave Alison a book and positioned himself back to back with her. 2. He made Alison chose a page. 3. Then he stops the time. 4. Memorize some key words on that page. 5. Go back to his original position 6. Resumes time. Pretty simple right.

Showing the audience the book while hiding it from Allison was an absolutely brilliant part of the act. I've been watching a ton of P&T:FU clips for the past few weeks and have decided that magicians in general are just an incredible group of people, and you really stand out as one of my favorites so far.

“If you do that it just makes the book happy” such an underrated joke

The way Alyson just stunned when he shows the book is blank. I thought it only happens in the comics.

I have watched this video more than a few times already, and every time, my favourite part is at 5:20. The look on Alyson's face when she looks at the book and just falls silent is priceless

Every year or so I come back to this damn video. Shawn is just such a tremendous showman. One of the best I've seen. The way he replies "I should have used a mirror!" so quickly to Alyson is just terrific comedic timing. He has quick wit that is nearly on par with a guy like Norm Macdonald.

He says, "Oh, you work out." Alyson shakes her head. I love Alyson.

This is when he said de ja vu the fourth time. Cause In his last performance he said de ja vu 3 times and said that it sometimes takes 4 times.

I loved the comedy aspect. Having the audience be “in” on fooling the volunteer is always a great touch … the mystifying reveal where it turns out the audience is also fooled is a great capper, and is what makes it “magic,” but the part where the audience is in on fooling Alyson is what makes it a magic ACT, and a really fun one! Good show!!

5:45 Penn taking a drink so he can properly cuss him out lol

i really love the face of Penn when he says that it isn't a memory trick and is something new, that face of marvel, of something really good, that's when you know that you did it
