My favorite trick ever. The concept about letting you know how it's done and the fooling you again is just too good.

[CacheRAM]

Your choice to pretend to reveal the trick, and then reintroduce the sense of wonder, was really special. Thank you for appearing on the show, and for the glimpse into your world without removing the mystery.

I was a professional magician for about 15 years. Typical birthday party stuff but also did some competitions.
This trick is by far my absolute most favorite trick I have ever seen ever. Ever. It was so multilayer and complex. Very very well done

This remains the best Penn & Teller show for me, the levels of Aw you created are too AWESOME!

One of the most entertaining illusions I've ever seen. And I admire his philosophy for what he does.

[AndreJHoward]

I love this trick so much. I felt robbed for just a moment and then the magic came back. I never look up how things are done I just want to be surprised and entertained :)

I'm so endeared by the idea, that our awe is something you hold precious to us, but you also love our curiosity and our ingenuity to wonder how. This trick is a wonderful empathetic show of love for what you do and compassion for the audience. It shows us both the how and why, of how it could've been done, and we end up satisfied, and like a good dinner we are full, but some how you give us more then we knew we could want. You found a way to give us our dessert. I love you Asi Wind, thank you for this and thank you Penn and Teller. I love this show so much and this is maybe one of my favorite tricks I've seen in my life for the philosophy of it.

"the vegan crew thought it was delicious" hahahahaaaa. Brilliant.

Definitely my favorite episode of Penn and Teller Fool Us. Loved hearing the back story. 👍

[johncage]

That performance on Penn & Teller was very exciting and entertaining. I really like the "I show you how it's done ... wait a second, that's not possible" approach. Great idea.

[HeatherSpoonheim]

That was one of the best performances ever on P&T FU. I love knowing the methods. For me, it makes the effect even better. Knowing several methods that a magician could use, and looking for them, but not being able to see which one, or even knowing if I know the one, makes the effect even better. This performance took me full circle in that type of joy.

[juanarrivillaga]

You are simply genius, without a doubt, one of my five favorite contemporary magicians. I also admire so much your portraits!!!! If I ever go to the US, definitely have to go see your show and your gallery.

[DavidPalmer]

This was a brilliant performance! I stopped looking up the reveal videos for tricks on the show just so I could still enjoy the acts.

You ARE the definition of Magic Asi... Can’t wait to see you again❤️

[stardom]

Honestly, I have watched Asi Winds episode last 2 years . And I watch it over and over again your performance. You are awesome! I still can't figure out your method. Being obsessed with card magic, I made one performance by myself in my channel. Your magic is always inspiring. Let me tell you. You are amazing performer. You are right. It's not about fooling but the performance that crowds love. Loved uour performance. And please make more and more videos on Youtube about your magic.
Now I don't even wish to know how you did it on Pen and teller. I wish to create the same effect with my own method someday

[wayneyadams]

I agree with his statement about losing the magic. It's fun to know and do a few simple tricks, but knowing how every trick is done ruins magic forever.

I like to see Penn and Teller be fooled because it means they are sharing in the mystery of watching a great trick. There is something extra special in sharing that magical moment with two master magicians that has nothing to do with a trophy or any other rewards.

I love the way he leads us down the garden path explaining how the trick is done and then, BOOM, it's something completely different.

When I watched it the second time, I realized that he did not rotate the coffee cup to turn the supposed wheel with the decks on it. In fact, he didn't even have it on the same place on the table during the trick as it was in the explanation.

[ConstantlyDamaged]

I can happily say I have no idea how you did it—and I'm perfectly okay with that. Your performance has entertained a lot of people, your art is as impeccable as your style. Bravo and thank you.

[strawbryjamz]

Magic tricks and performances have to parts to the act that I love. I love the reaction from an audience who are truly astounded and are happy to be so. I also love how clever and creative people are when it comes to method designs, something that is often publicly shared due to the many varying reasons.

I love learning how tricks are done because I love seeing the creativity in method design and method choice and I love doing the tricks myself because I get to experience seeing an audience be astounded by me.

[ThumperSpinnerbaits]

By far a truly great piece of art. His passion for what he does is very inspiring.

What a great end: "in order to know it you need to dedicate your life to it and become a magician."
