the main reason I do magic is simply for the reactions I have to TV show called trick it's a hidden-camera show where people don't know I'm actually a magician chicken salad so for example I could be like a clerk at a sandwich shop and somebody would order like a chicken sub and a live chicken comes out I like to melt people's brains a whole brain trust of magicians actually helped me create the trick you're gonna see tonight a squad of illusionists specifically to fool Penn & Teller so watch out were coming for it if I do stump them I want to do it in a way that'll make them respect me no

well let's see if the boys went nuts trying to solve your trick boys what a yeah what a great routine thank you you know we've been trying for what 30 years with a really good needle in a haystack routine and using a little bit although not as well as you did a little bit of that premise needle in a haystack right finding something impossible yeah it's really really good it's also great to see someone who really understands what this show was about they said the show was called fool us but the real reason for this show is two people to come on and do fabulous original magic and be funny and entertaining every step of the way I have to ask you a question teller thought you had some sort of container we're not going to describe it exactly but some sort of jar or something that you carefully placed the the hero in and I thought I remembered it actually fluttering down but did you place it in if it was a carefully plate it was it was leg dough it about right here just okay well like I said Eric the important part of the show is to do a really entertaining wonderful piece of innovative magic that the whole audience loves and the part of the show that doesn't matter nearly as much is the fact that you fooled us [Applause] oh my gosh I looked at a teller this has been a dream of mine for the past like nine years listen as a little thank you for watching this clip if you

This guy is a beast. I love the little dig at Jay Sankey (and maybe Jabreezy?) at the beginning. Incredibly entertaining trick all around.

The rest of the "usual suspects" helped him create the trick - Wes, Alex Boyer. But didn't see /u/chrisramsay52 in there.

Just checked the username, when are you going to go on??

[u/baomagic]

That's an honorable fool to me!

I've seen a lot of discussion about how he did it... And I can't help but think that maybe he just faked Teller's signature: in the end, it's a simple "T" and he never gave that peanut back to P&T when he found it, so for me he could have just picked a random peanut and written the "T" on it while he was rummaging in the box.

Can not wait for Eric to discuss the method on this trick big fan of him since the magic for 365 days time. Absolute genius and the other magicians that helped him as well of course.
