NO HANDS Magician FOOLS Penn & Teller With Sleight of Hand!? Mahdi Gilbert // Most Inspiring Fool Us

[Music] welcome to Las Vegas where the heat is on our magicians who are trying to fool Penn and Teller let's see who's next I'm Matty feel bear and magic is my life I was born without any hands or feet but when I was a kid I absolutely believed that if I became a magician that I would be able to do anything but every single book that's ever been written is for magicians who have two hands all the techniques that I do are of my own invention I've created every single technique that I can use there's nothing that's been given to me I was able to transform my own life I think learning how to do this stuff that everybody in the world thought was impossible that to me is real magic I don't feel like I was born missing anything I feel I am the way that I'm supposed to be and my magic is real ladies and gentlemen the raising money chill there thank you it's an honor to be here and my name is Maddie and tonight I'm gonna try to make your world a little bit more magical but I need a little help from my new friends so Allison would you please join me in Penn & Teller you guys can come and take a seat now before we begin I want to tell you a little something about myself it's very special for me to be here tonight because I'm on stage with two of the greatest magicians of all time and the only reason that I'm here is because I absolutely believe in magic and I'm not afraid to believe in the impossible I've been interested in doing magic for a very long time but it's always been out of reach I don't mean that figuratively I mean can you pass that deck and what I'd like to show you guys tonight is my favorite piece and it's a piece that I've been doing for a very long time it uses six cards and two hats three red and three black nothing else okay I'll do it like this for you guys here I'll put a red card over here followed by a black a red followed by a black right a black and I said this trick needs two hands I need a little bit of help to do this can I borrow your hands Allison sure can you interlace your fingers just like this and this is the position of the card this is a red and a black a red and a black a red and a black that's the position of the cards and if you couldn't separate your hands separating the red cards from the black putting one on top of the other because you do that over there something happens over here it's hard to believe I don't do anything but all the black cards come together and all the red card should come together now I know what you're thinking you didn't get to see all the cards because there's cards face up and there's cards face down so I'll do it so you can see very clearly like this here here everybody can see that they're mixed red black red black red black black red black over here red black red over here two piles here and over here and I'll show this to the camera again so there's absolutely no doubt as to where the cards are black red black here red black red over here now everybody for this to work I need everybody to help me salicin can you introduce your fingers and Penn & Teller can you interlace your fingers and everybody in the audience basically if you have hands interlace your fingers it relates them everybody has them interlaced pulled them apart the Reds from the blacks separate them you put one on top of the other now I don't know if you guys believe in magic but I do and because I do this should be all the black cards together all the black pegs together the magic is real and I knew it yeah and I loved that you didn't let anything stop you no and I'm sure people told you you couldn't do it I'll show you when I start to tackle card magic I couldn't do anything I couldn't pick up a deck of cards I couldn't shuffle I couldn't do anything so I would stay up all night reading all the books trying to figure out techniques and I all the stuff that I do is based on classical techniques that already exist but my versions of it are completely new and original with me so nobody knows how they work I'm the one who's created them yeah and where's like the weirdest place you sort of get an idea like are you ever on a date you're like I gotta go I never leave dates for ragic okay well you are such an inspiration let's go to the guys gentlemen Wow I don't say this lightly but I believe you're cheating because one of the things we're doing on this show is we read a lot of magic books and study a lot of magicians and watch a lot of videos and every single thing we watch and study is for people with hands yeah you don't have hands it's all different methods you're cheating that's all of them that having been said it's so so beautiful it's just so beautiful the kind of trick you're doing just this isn't this doesn't give it away but it's called an oil and water trick yeah and there are many many ways to do it and we're just going to take a shot we're where we could be wrong okay because we didn't see anything that looked bad everything looked clean and neat but I think that if we're right we would say that for guys with hands things that are really smooth for us might be kind of rough for you as you were learning to put this together as you're putting together was that any sort of moving you know the way if that doesn't mean that means something if the words rough of the word smooth mean nothing to you then maybe this sentence will being something to you you fooled us [Applause] don't go away because will we come back the great Penn & Teller will perform [Applause]

"Allison can I borrow your hands?"

This is absolutely insane. You're incredible, holy shit.

I remember when this episode first came out my wife and I watched that clip over and over and neither one of us could figure out how the hell you did that. I have no idea how they were supposed to catch it with only one viewing. Fantastically done. ,

Grats man!

Anyone care to share what Penn meant with the smooth vs rough guess?

[u/det_jones]

Nice one! Now tell us how you did it! 😄

[u/Summonest]

wait but how

edit: No but seriously, how? Did you trade your hands for actual magic?

[u/The_Late_Arthur_Dent]

When this video ended, I had a huge smile on my face and I realized that I'd been smiling the entire 8 minutes. Thank you so much for that gift!

Awesome stuff, Mahdi. You clearly love this and worked hard to achieve a mastery of it despite the obstacles. You’ve created a truly unique form of magic!

I’m mainly jealous you got so close to Alyson Hannigan, literally my first crush back when she was on Buffy.
