I've seen Penn and Teller do this clear ball trick so many times, but it still looks magic with how good they are.

I just watched this in slow motion and with the sound off. I realized the dynamic between Penn and Tellar is perfect for misdirection. Penn is the one talking so everyone has their attention on him, his entire role is misdirection! I always thought of Penn as "main" performer and Teller as the sidekick, but Teller was the one doing most of the slight of hand. The baseball came out of Teller's sleeve. I'm just realizing the genius of having an entire person play the role of misdirection and an entire person for slight of hand.

Just for everyone’s future reference, the spelling of the term for what’s being done here is “sleight”, not “slight” 🙏🏻
