Penn & Teller: Fool Us - Siegfried Tieber Returns

fullest has returned and so is this next familiar face i'm from ecuador literally the middle of the world in ecuador the magic community is very very tiny it's not most people's first career choice i got my degree in mechanical engineering and i decided i wanted to do magic for a living took a plane to los angeles to study acting not to become a movie star i never intended to i would take it but not my main goal the goal was to use those skills as a magician nice being on fullest for the first time was one of the most terrifying yet exciting experiences of my life pen and taylor have been two of my heroes when i fooled them i was probably the most surprised person in that room now i will see pen and taylor again i'm terrified but also extremely excited [Applause] please welcome back the unforgettable siegfried tever it's very very exciting to be here it's exciting to be anywhere outside home like all of us i've been spending a lot of time home lately and i've got so used to it that i brought my living room with me when logged down orders were announced all around the world some people started baking bread some people started brewing their own beer that day i shuffled the deck off cards and attempted to memorize its order this is thursday march 19th lockdown day number one for me in los angeles california that's the month of march april may june july august and september these are my first six months 185 days of lockdown every day i shuffled and memorized a different deck of cards in a different order they are all in my mind alison name um any card in the deck please uh ace of hearts the ace of hearts that's a pretty card ace of hearts thursday may 7th lockdown day number 50. on this particular day the ace of hearts happened to be the top the very first card in the deck see of course every deck is in a different order the next day the ace of hearts was in position 27 and the day after that it was in position 38 from the top of the deck but wait there's more alison named a different date at random between march 19th and september 19th uh may 23rd may 23rd that is the 23rd day of the fifth a month of the year lockdown date that was a saturday lockdown day number 66 this day my alarm went off at 6 31 a.m i did not hit the snooze button first thing in the morning i brewed a cup of coffee and attempted to memorize this deck of cards on this particular day the ace of hearts [Music] was in position 35 from the top of the deck [Music] i hope one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 card number 35 that's the ace of hearts at this point many might suspect that maybe i'm wearing an earpiece and someone is feeding me information i'll be upfront about this i'll gladly admit that i'm using showmanship to create the illusion that i memorized more than i actually did however that said i'm only using my mind pen please name a different date between march 19th and september 19th march 20th march 28th haha that was a friday locked on the number two that day i did not wake up early my alarm went off i did hit the snooze button a couple times i went for my morning walk it was cloudy in los angeles that's the day the squirrel followed me on my morning walk anyway at 9 37 am i brewed a cup of coffee and attempted to memorize this deck of cards tell her let's look at this from a different direction please gesture a number between 1 and 52 is that 15 15 on this particular day the nine of hearts was in position 15. one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen card number fifteen the nine of cards yes this is going way better than expected let's try something a little more ambitious this might not work but we might as well try right pen name any card in the deck please um four spades the four of spades taylor gesture a different number between one and fifty two thirty i've seen it four of spades in position 30 that was early logged on in the month of april i believe four of spades in position that was fairly on merge four of spades in position 30 i think this is it one two three four five six seven eight nine 10 11 12 13 14 15

goodness most people just learned how to make bread during the lockdown that's very impressive thank you so much it kept me busy for quite some time yeah i would say so do you always have a photographic memory now photographic memory is a myth i wish i could say yes i have a photographic memory but it's something anyone could do memory is like a muscle that you can train and the more you're training the more you can retain in there so how did you develop your stage character the stage character character is a stretch for me this is who i am in real life people ask me after seeing me on a stage they asked me how i came up with the accent no this is what i thought this is just me all right well let's see if your amazing memory has earned you another trophy oh yeah yes oh sigfrids what a great trick and you're such a good performer so different so surprising such a wonderful thing this trick is uh is annoying us tremendously good because we think we know the basic mechanism of this and we could have been doing it and although there's so much mental stuff involved i should tell people at home that we believe that there's no accomplice and there's no sleight of hand you're really doing it in your head exactly exactly as you think and you've got all those days there and you know as every day the earth rotates just a little bit more and spins around and it's amazing i think to people at home that you are doing incredible mental gymnastics and we think we have a pretty good idea how you did it but we have to ask you one question when's your birthday january 8th january 8th we're gonna make a note of that because on january 8th we want to send you a birthday book that's we'd like to send you as a little bit of a present could we do that for you i would be thrilled i'll be waiting for it okay did they figure it out they need and it makes me mentally happy yes they did okay well you didn't fool them but you're gonna get a birthday book i will i'm very excited about it thank you for having me here siegfried and i still have one
