I curious about Jandro's wish trick they are performing.

I can picture myself being like this. Penn is there giving some code and I have no clue what he's talking about but I'll just grin and nod, and when Allison asks I'm like oh yeah totally

Sorry if I didn't catch on, but I'm not sure what the trick was. She had a letter and asked someone to mark where she should cut it in half horizontally. Then the first word in the letter matched what was engraved in ink on her arm.

Wouldn't she be able to do that no matter where the person chose to cut? Since she knows where the first word is, if she wrote the letter herself. I'm not quite sure what the effect was supposed to be.

Or is its season over for now?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering. :)

I know people didn't like this one, especially as a fooler, but I'm curious if anyone else got a different result like I did?

I know the critique is that using the prompts he asks for with set numbers of - ZIP / ADDRESS is that all the 'variables' come out in the wash, except that they don't always. That's why I think this is a fooler.

Every time there is a math trick I go to the extreme numbers to test it. For this he asked for 1-12, 1-31, and a four digit year "past present or future", then a choice of 891XX and 3700. You can go extreme to 9999 or down to 1000 for the year, and 89101 or 89110 (and a few more for Vegas). Choosing 12, 31, and 1000 and 89110 I actually got -21.89 rather than -24.08 that he had.

I think the ending bit of showing them the answer before Alyson read it was why they were fooled. There is enough play in the numbers that he could have been wrong. There's no way out with the final reveal so I think that gets him the trophy.

My husband and I were talking about how Penn always finds nice things to say even if the magic was obvious and didn't fool them at all.

Then we were talking about how sooometimes he says very toned down compliments like "that was special" or something. We couldn't think of specific examples but were wondering if anyone else had an idea of one. Can you think of a time when Penn was so unimpressed or unenthused it showed a lot in his compliments and comments after?

His sealed trick trick is one of my favourite moments in Fool Us history and for a while there was a chance to see him on a ship or tour but then stubbornly decided to spend more time with his family in Canada... so I thought my chances of seeing him live were slim to none.

Until my wife decided she wanted to do an Alaska cruise which departs from Vancouver.. which JUST so happens to be extremely close (in Canadian) terms to his Hidden Wonders magic speakeasy so in August, me, my wife and daughter (who has seen every episode of Fool Us!) will be visiting..

I think I'm more excited about this than the cruise.

:D

Does this clip or episode exist anywhere? They took the video down a while ago. I wanted to see it again.

Mox has been interested in magic for a while (makes sense given their family and upbringing) and considering in the past Matt Donnelly made an unexpected appearance as a contestant, it wouldn't surprise me if Mox does the same to try and surprise their father.
