I am not impressed by thiz performance

I can’t stand up as long as Penn can BUT even if I could, imagine standing up for so long as directed by a magician to in the end realise it’s unnecessary and be asked to sit down 🤯😤😒

Interesting, actually the show should be called fool the judge. What for political stuff was going on there?

Amodei is a short guy with big identity frustrations. He is a narcissist. For that, whatever other qualities he might have, his value on stage is zero to me.

jesus this is cringe

7:38, dying to see his work... hair pun?

Ivan Amodel not a fooler ...a fool

Fooled me, I had no clue what was going on and finished the video with a feeling of dread 😅

The cello made it unbearable to watch. I did not finish

Loser

I love the cello, i love how everyone missed that, super creative idea

what the shit

Deck switch, hand out threes, name 6x 2 States from memory, then you know which state is still standing. No way he fooled P&T, I think the judges intervened to avoid tension and boredom.

I think there may be some obvious things with this trick that we should consider. When the magician handed out cards, I only saw him hand out packets to people in the back row. How did that guy on the far left then have a packet of cards in his hand when they started passing cards? I never saw the magician give him cards. Also, I saw the guy with Illinois move just before his state was actually called. It was like he already knew that his state was going to be called next. Finally, the magician somehow handed out exactly 18 cards "randomly" picking sets of cards? I don't think so. I'm fairly sure he didn't even hand out all of the cards that somehow ended up in people's hands. Going back to my original observation, how did the guy in the front row to the far left have a packet of cards to start passing when I never saw him be given cards by the magician?

What about Tellers' card/state ?

This video appears to have been edited - there is no trace of that 7 minute deliberation, and only 9 cards are given out (3x3) to the participants.

I read the comments before watching the video and i expected a way more aggresive exchange at the end or something, they just exchanged words for a bit, the judges called in and that was it lol

He failed in calling Penn’s card, and the trick was incomplete. FU should not have been awarded by the producers, only F*U by P&T. Lol!

With respect to the cellist, I felt the music was unnecessary!

you should admit that you have been fooled.. you dont deserve that trophy

Watched this act over and over and I saw the deck switch or the clump that was added to the deck to hand out. The worst part that the judges claims that they fooled them but I am sure they had a time limit but Penn was absolutely correct. ShMe on the judges

I'm not convinced they weren't planted there, when Florida was called, the guy with Iowa was about to sit and his card was called right after like he expected it

My best guess of what happened is that P&T did not correctly guess how the deck switch was done. They probably thought that Ivan "shuffled" the card and chose the correct 18 cards to be on the top before giving it to the spectators. Or maybe they thought that Ivan grabbed (from his jacket) and palmed another deck while he "had his back turned". When the real deck switch happened, we can see that Penn was in the middle of standing up and not looking at the stage, while Teller was looking at Penn. Seems like both of them missed the real deck switch, and the judge think this was enough to give Ivan the trophy.

Ya I wouldn’t go to your shows after this lol they had you

nice

2:48 he takes extra cards stashed under the stool. so bait. but that's magic. complete intrigue till you know the (often very basic) secret.

9:54 Ok - I understand his gag at the start (1:17) about how tall is Penn!

hahaha, ha ha ha... ha

That act was all over the place! What was the point of the blindfold? 5:02 how did ‘Illinois’ get ready to sit down just before his name was called? Not being able to name Penn’s state at the end was the biggest anti-climax to any act I’ve seen.

I don’t mean to criticize you Ivan. Why did the judges rule that you had fooled them instead of stopping Penn from speaking and having Penn & Teller go on stage and tell you exactly how they think the trick is done? They have done that for other acts when speaking in code is not clear enough

When She announced that you FOOLED THEM, reaction of your face cant fool anyone. but to fool yourself and keep smiling that this is embarrassing just keep smiling just show them and look to their Eyes you are happy and deserve to get the trophy. FOOL THEM ONCE SHAME ON THEM FOOL THEM TWICE SHAME ON YOU FOOL YOU SELF THAT YOU KNOW THAT TRUTH THATS ASTONISHING. HIGHEST CONNECTIONS FROM THE HIGHEST POSITION BEHIND THE SCENE. YOU SHOWED THAT YOU'VE TOTALLY FOOLED PENN AND TELLER THATS HAD NO IDEA THAT THEIR IS HIGHER JUDGES BEHIND THEM CAN OVERRULED EVERYTHING.✌️😂

Penn and teller has to find when deck switch has happened. They failed to do that. So they were fooled.

The technicality was that Ivan did a deck switch and Penn didn't specifically say "deck switch," although it was implied.

This gives off such weird passive-aggressive energy. “Is that an obstacle for you gentlemen?” after Teller gave you such an incredible compliment, wtf man lol. That probably lost you some respect and jobs, and I’m sorry you did that, as you’re quite the showman. If they’re wrong, you are 100% within your rights to let them know. I’m not saying roll over and agree because they’re famous. Offer up the prop they’re hinting at. Ask if Teller would mind making a note or drawing as he’s done before, because you’re just not sure. Or say that code doesn’t mean much to you, can we please clarify? It’s happened before. They’ve brought a dude back who was too nice to correct them and for whatever reason the judges didn’t catch to retroactively give a trophy, because he HAD fooled them! They’re reasonable people… at least I would very much believe so, them being such public figures this long.

Why couldn't he pick Penn's state?

Where is the video of your trick. Nobody cares about this badly homemade video

Worst magician ever

This is such a lame ass trick!. If he had guessed pen's card only it would have been a Petter trick. This is just deck switching and easy probability. A 10 year old could have done this and hes trying to state his against the 2, he should be fined or something for stealing the trophy.

The man's dishonourable and kinda scummy BUT he's got balls for leaving the comments and the like/dislike ratio on.

"Clumps" "Your back was turned" And this guy comes back saying is that a problem you gentleman? Even though he did the freaking deck switch when he turned & handed the cards in clumps? What a shame! There are magicians who had just 2-10% of their trick correctly figured by them and taken a L like champs & there is this arrogant a-hole who had more then 50% of his trick figured out, yet kept arguing

You forgot the parts of the day where you showed you can't speak well in public, acted like a tool, messed up part of your trick, and whined until you got a trophy.

This is probably the worst performance on Fool Us. Had to add a cellist to cover up how cheap the act was.

Hmmm. Wonder why he pulled the original video. #tool

how is this controversial?

Sucker.

What a scammer. Penn and Teller were too kind to take your trohpy away. I admire them, and also, I'm ashamed of you.

I do appreciate how kind Penn and Teller are when they decided to keep you the trophy, although you screwed the trick up, made it all wrong, and didn't guess any of their cards right. "Which state do you have?" "Rhode Island." - "Yes, you're right." What a shaaaaame.

0:29 A small man standing next to two legends.

This is fucking garbage tf?

Lame 😒
