If you think I lied, you were fooled too.
But luckily for you the show is not called Penn and Teller: Fool The Audience and Everybody Else Online. For me there is no victory in puzzling somebody who doesn’t have the clues.

But for those who want to keep digging, for whatever masochistic reason, Look closely at Penn’s quote:

The only thing we can think of, is that you have A RING that is so carefully constructed to COME APART in halves, either with a very strong magnet, or with a shell, or something like that. That an audience member, or even Teller on very, very, very careful examination, Could not get the goddamn thing to come apart.
Now If you have THAT RING, gimmicked in anyway, we are not going to give it to you.

If you did that in anyway other than that, with what would have to be pure sleight of hand, we’re not going to cheat and say, “Okay, it’s sleight of hand.” Because we didn’t catch you you on anything. If it is anything other than a ring that comes apart, you have fooled us...

I HAVE NO RING THAT COMES APART. Nothing I use has and moving or mechanical components. The only mechanism is sleight of hand. If you still don’t believe me that’s on you.

the judges and Penn & Teller have thoroughly re-examined the guess and they still say they had No idea what I was doing. And that from their point of view there were no tells to tip the method and they had to just take a guess.

If you are a student magic you know the actual answer, No need to post Spoilers. Let them enjoy the magic.

The audacity of doing the thumb pull as a follow up to the ring trick was almost as good as the ring trick itself.

“I trust YOU, not my eyes.”

Words of somebody that truly gets magic.

[bunsenn]

I like how Penn and Teller give a trophy to anyone who manages to actually fool them instead of turning it into some long-drawn out tournament like the Got Talent shows.

Forget about the ring, that’s the best “make a finger disappear” I’ve ever seen

[TP_Rockstar]

The only way this could've blown my mind even more than already is if, rather than dropping the ring, you would've said "Give me one of your rings and I'll do it again".

[birdman]

My ex-wife did the same thing with her wedding ring.

[ChrisRamsay]

I'VE SEEN THIS SO MANY TIMES IN PERSON AND IT STILL KILLS!!! Congrats Garrett!!!!

[jenniturtleburger]

The way he got his ring finger hidden behind his middle finger then flipped his hand over and somehow got it behind his middle finger so quickly was amazing.

[sassysigns]

Ohh cool, a ring trick that’s nice HOLY CRAP HE JUST PULLED A FINGER OFF!!

[StephenBradley]

"I carry an 8 ball in my wallet" usually means something else entirely.

[sciencethygod]

"I trust you more than I trust my own eyes" I think that pretty much says it all for the quality of your magic.

[georgehorn]

"Any art form is just an excuse to meet another human being", so true. Many of us use it and don't realize. Be it music, magic, or drawing.

[Oozes_Dark]

FORGET ABOUT THE FAKE RING, HE DISLOCATED HIS FINGERS. That’s commitment.

[DanteYewToob]

For the dummies saying he lied... he couldn't have.
The stipulation to be on the show is that a producer behind the stage has to know how the trick is done. If P&T guess and there is a dispute, the guy behind the scenes can tell them if they're right or wrong.
You can't just lie for the trophy.

[samuelking]

It would have been absolutely badass if he asked Penn for his ring and repeated the trick with it

Edit: Can y’all stop commenting that there’s a second ring? I’ve read the same comment about the second half-ring 50 times now.

[leokimvideo]

Penn & Teller will always respect magic when it's delivered in a flawless performance. This was up close, personal and incredibly crafted magic. I look at this act and think of the Moon. We know the moon is round and sometimes all there to be seen, but there are many times where you only see half of the moon. And the ring is like the moon, it's always facing us on the same side no matter how much it's twisted around. We are never shown the real magical ring which is super amazing.

[atkingofhearts]

Imagine being so good at magic, the easiest explanation people can come up with is "He lied about how he did it." Remember, the show has producers that verify things are what they are. It's not easy to just lie about it and walk away scott free. Dude is a legendary sleight of hand master. Great work! The trick is amazing!

[phoenixgoss]

I had a cousin who also carried an 8 ball in his wallet but he ended up in prison for it

[DoctorMothoid]

I think sleight of hand is the only magic that gets better when you know how it's done, because you appreciate how much time and effort and love went into the performance that you see. Absolutely beautiful performance, congratulations.
