Helen Coghlan FOOLS Penn and Teller a 6th time! (S10 E7)

Her father is a legend. Must have a documentary about him.

I really like how Teller just held up fingers to tell her the results.

It's one of those things... she's either very skilled at swapping out things "in full sight", or her props must be crazy so she can just hand them over to Penn&Teller

I didn't figure it out but once reading someone else's solve, it's pretty simple. Cool trick. You can see the two records very briefly when she drops it into the box, at 2:25 - the hole in the middle is perfectly aligned, and then when the record is dropped (2:27) you can see the two records are slightly out of line, meaning the hole is more crescent moonish, rather than fully round. Cool trick. Props to her Dad, he's clearly got a knack for making some awesome gimmicks!

I can't wait for Brooke to meet Jàndro. Hellen Coghlan and Ĵàndro are legends in Fool Us!

3:23 top 3:26 Teller was like "okay she is giving me time to safely laugh" Penn decided, "not worth laughing, I need to stay focused".

There's two records. The initial reveal of the record shows that it is rather thick. It's both a regular record and a gimmick record. It might be why she has Brooke stand back a few steps so she doesn't see how thick the record is. The gimmick record has a collapsible groove in it to allow the needle to pass through it. Both records go in the box. The needle and ribbon go through both records. Brooke grabs the ends of the ribbons. Helen pulls the gimmick record up leaving the original record in the box with the ribbon through the hole. The ribbon is now going from Brooke's left hand, through the side of the box then the real record in the box, up to the gimmick record, back down to the hole in the back of the box and to her right hand. She then puts the needle through only the real record. When she reinserts the gimmick record, she spins the record to line up the groove so that the needle collapses the gimmick allowing the needle to pass through it. After it's in, the groove is pointing down and you can see her spin the record in the box on the needle with her finger two times to get the record to spin 180 degrees. The groove in the gimmick record is now lined up vertically with the needle, she lets go of it, the record drops out of sight and we hear it land as she removes her hands from the box. She then pulls out only the real record with the needle and the ribbon through it.

So simple yet so intriguing, I love these kind of tricks.

Her dad must be a genius

Oh I get it. She used egg whites to lubricate record number 3 so when she pulled the ribbon records number 1 and 3 dissolved leaving only record number 2 which absorbed all of the egg white residue hence why P and T were fooled. What a genius design. “Props” to her!

The record is threaded with ribbon, then a second gimmocked record that came up from the table or whatever is lifted, with a second ribbon. They stick the needle through the original record and then lower the second fake record into the table. Handing the ungimmicked record for inspection.

Notice at 2:22 How one side of the record is glossy and when she flips it, the other side is matt and the reflection of the light does no longer move on it

Well deserved trophy. She is amazing

Woman to woman! Dad comes up with all the tricks...

Great trick, love the idea that she was really not only there for a record, but also to break a record. I think she even broke 2 records, well, literally just one of the two.

My best guess: it's a variation on the the doughnut on the ribbon trick. Two records (instead of doughnuts), one is a real actual record, the other, that get pushed down is made of some destructible material that breaks and falls through a hole in to the base. The Coghlans used a trick chemical as 'milk' in their previous fool of P&T, which points to them having some expertise in trick materials.

Me: pretty simple, I know how it's done Helen: I assume Penn and teller want to have a look at that, go show them Me: I have no idea how it was done. Great performance

That's a mind boggling!

05:04 stop it there and look at their faces, especially Teller's. Priceless. Well done, trophy truly deserved!

Sometimes you run across that one person who really has magic in them!
