Penn & Teller // 18 year old from NYC stunned on Fool Us

18 year old NYC based magician Emma appears on Penn & Teller Season 10 to stun the world famous duo. From the age of 6 she's been perfecting her craft to later performing professionally in events in the city at the young age of 12. Since then, Emma has gone off to travel and perform in events internationally, and then on her favorite hit TV show: Penn & Teller!

"If Penn & Teller and I worked on this for the rest of our lives, which isn't that long... we would never ever be able to learn that!" - Penn

Absolutely amazing! She exudes confidence, professionalism and grace!

It's such a bold move to invite Penn to the stage, big plus for doing that.
A really nice routine all in all as well, was so smooth with the cube :)

So good! This video needs some more views! I'd love to see Emma get a second crack at fooling them!

amazing performance, beautiful stage presence, inviting Penn was not the most comfortable choice but he's a fair companion,
fist of all, the trick is funny, not sure yellow was a force, as you may perhaps be able to do the same with the other colors
and you are very good at having one colour of the rubik's cube done !
I wish you a beautiful career !

Finally got around to checking out this segment! Emma Olsen is an old friend and former magic student of mine. I’ve seen her advance in her performances throughout the years and I have to say I’ve never been more proud! That was a FANTASTIC performance!

For those who don't get the cryptic messaging at the end on how she didn't fool them, the cardiograph is a notebook magic trick that she used. The rest of the trick is so obvious that there is no need to explain what she did other than she did it. She didn't force the color, but then she didn't have to. She knew what color Penn picked because it isn't difficult to memorize the colors on the cube and remember what color you pointed at Penn and then she can keep track in her head what color is pointing at Penn as she flips it.

At first I thought:
"Where's she going with this? Just "guessing" the correct colour sure wouldn't impress anyone as she would clearly keep track of which of the four colours was facing Penn at any given time. And how would Penn's mixing of the cube make it harder to "guess" a colour she already knows? And why the sketchbook for the reveal?"

But halfway through your routine I just enjoyed *how* you performed the double-reveal.
You narrated the whole thing beautifully, capturing the audience.

And though I don't know how the prop (the gimmicked sketchbook) works, the most entertaining aspect of the routine (to me) was how casually and nonchalantly you solved that bottom side of the cube while being focused on the plot and the conversation with Penn.

Charisma and dexterity surely are the most important ingredients to a good act - and you demonstrated both in an impressive way.
Good on ya! :)

[WokCorner]

You actually solved that cube while talking. Thats my understanding at least. Its absolutely amazing.

Classic P&T.. Cardiologist... Dr Martin Lewis... Got me laughing....!

Good routine.. Well executed!

I was wondering why the rubik's cube wasn't correct, but it makes sense. It seemed that yellow was a preferred color to be chosen, and white was an absolute no-go (seeing as it would ruin the ink section), so yellow was moved to be adjacent to white so white could be excluded while yellow was included

[leokimvideo]

White would have been an awkward choice, rarely chosen when asked to pick a 'color'

[uselesscommon]

Okay so I understand every part of this trick except for the drawing changing color in a way that stands up to scrutiny after. I have hypotheses, but they all rely on really convoluted technology and chemistry in the setup, like pens with dual ink and weird chemical properties, or altered paper.

I know how this trick works... It requires a cube and a Penn. 😉
