Emily Brodie & Stephanie on Penn & Teller - Fool Us

he is very Oh mr. magic Jonathan Ross welcome to what I promise will be but for both the audience here and everyone watching I'm a truly magical night you know I've always loved magic when I was a little kid who's been Charlie by my granddad he would ask me for a coin like Tempe or something and he would just make it vanish into thin air he was a wonderful magician also unfortunately a thief because never got it back we have assembled the queen of the conjuring community of this country and I'm amazed I go through that senators I get it we're going to show you more magic than a Hogwarts Assembly and think of me if you will as an immaculately sooty two ravishing you handsome Dumbledore okay all the masters of their art and they're here the triumph for the men who have been headlining Las Vegas for the last ten years Penn & Teller in fact the only thing bigger than them in Vegas is the city's electricity bill now a huge fan of them I hope you guys well before they come up on stage look at this hey welcome to Vegas my name is Penn Jillette this is my partner tower we're Penn & Teller and we have been working together doing magic for entire adult lives we are over in Britain hoping that somebody or many people will be able to fool us we'll be able to do tricks that we don't know how they're done we have to figure out how they did the trick seeing it once and seeing it once from just the angle we have in the audience we're not watching monitors we don't have sneaky camera shots we don't have any information in advance it's just us sitting there you come on and you fool us and if you can't go home if you can come to Vegas if someone fools us they will get all their expenses paid everything fly over to Las Vegas with us we'll put them up and we'll give them our stage to be able to do their tricks everybody who comes on the show tonight is going to be very very brave aah it's really tough to do a trick for someone who might actually tell you what they think afterwards the show is just about getting back that first feeling that we got we were 5 years old and first saw someone vanish something in their hand like that that's a beautiful wonderful feeling and we want it again so fool us they've been performing together for 35 years it's incredible it's longer than most marriages but like all successful marriages the reason it works I think is that one doesn't now the other one to speak here they are CH the two the only Penn & Teller sorry I know I'm excited I know you're excited as well because genuinely you would like to actually be fooled well yes it's not a competition you know we just wanna the reason you get into magic is there's no better feeling to being fooled that the longer you work in magic the harder it is to be fooled so you're gonna watch it just the ones here's what's you know camera trickery no editing nothing like that what you see at home is exactly what Penn & Teller see what everyone here in the audience sees and you're gonna try and work out if you know how they and we'll do our best to try to uh figure it out you're not gonna tell us exactly how it's done though I guess you'll use the language of the trade you'll you'll give us enough information to make sure we know they know you know they know and we will they know you know what they have done there's nothing we'll do it over the hill we want ya

When the phone is thrown offstage it is placed in a more or less sound proof container with a microphone to send the sound to the seat with the container (speaker probably under the seat)

Teller then goes offstage to get the metal table (retrieving the phone already plastic wrapped)

at 9:55 you can see the fish is already cut open underneath, he at some point slides the cellphone into the fish, cuts the head mostly off and folds it down to obscure the existing hole .

1. He picks out someone with an iPhone as its a very common phone.
2. Does a switch of the real phone with an identical iPhone behind the elton john cutout.
3. The cutout is brought backstage where the phone will be placed in the fish
4. The fake phone is thrown into the bucket to further misdirected the audience
5. The phone rings backstage into a mic, the sound goes to the seat with the box. The box has been there at the start is the show as stated by the audience
6. She opens the box and there is an identical fake fish.
7. A table is wheeled onto the stage. The fishes are switched by teller (not sure how, but listen to how loud the "foam" box sounds when he puts it under the table - the fake fish must be stuck on the inside, he tips out the ice which is loose and puts the box face down) the real fish may possible have been concealed in a pouch behind the apron teller puts on.

That's my best guess, two switches
