These guys reveal alot of tricks. They had 2 of their old accounts closed.

Some people were pissed at these guys for revealing so much, they don't have inside knowledge but they are good at figuring out how tricks are done.

They used to target Criss Angel big time, seems like alot of those vids are missing.

Why would their accounts get closed? Doesn't sound like anything ban-worthy, just because some people don't like them revealing stuff.

Don't know, probably the magicians people combed through their vids to look for copyright violations or just enough pissed off people complaining. In the comments of 1 of the vids he said it's their 3rd account and he had to reupload all the vids again. Back in the day when they had a dif account name I remember video replies from pissed off people saying they were ruining magic for everyone etc.

They seemed to target people who actually pretended to have magic powers.

Better link to all their playlists.

He says in this vid. David Copperfield had their vids removed from You Tube.

Penn states on his vblog "Penn Says" that the nail gun trick is not memorization but he has practiced it so many times in the same order that he could make it a memorization trick if he wanted to.

To all these people who keep doubting the nails are already in the board--in whose best interest is it to be so dialectically opposed? Either Penn spends an inordinate amount of time memorizing a sequence, or he spends the same amount of time practicing with a trick prop one of the guys at the shop made. They yield virtually the same performance and yet one method is simply safer.

Yes, it could be debris on the board. Gravity could be little invisible fairies pushing down on everything. There are many possibilities in the world, therefore the only responsible approach is to decide which contains the greatest amount of ancillary evidence. P&T, hosts of Bull*****, would be ashamed at your lack of adherence to this process.

I love that show. Care to address the two more damning points in my post?

its not a real nail gun you idiots. its fake, it doesn't even shoot nails at all. the whole setup is rigged, the "nails" are being pulled up through the "board".

you actually think the nail gun is real when he shoots tellers head??? penn could go to jail for pulling a stunt like that. a simple malfunction would have killed him.

Exactly what P&T would want you to think.

wrong

Exactly what P&T would want you to think.

Sure. Everyone overlooks the simple things sometimes.

You are asking me for evidence of absence. But I will try anyway. One's first thought would likely be: because they are meant to not be visible. But I think what you mean to ask is, why did they show us so few closeups of the board? I think you can answer that on your own.

The center of the nail does. The head is unevenly countersunk, making the right half above the board and the left below.

The simpler explanation would be there are a certain number of nails in a sheet and using the power of counting he can safely fire nothing into Tellers neck.

If it was as easy as you make it sound, it wouldn't be a magic trick, would it?

If you know anything about P&T you'd know that gun doesn't fire a single nail.

I'm done debating this. It's not rocket science.

Unfortunately most magic tricks are simple when you understand how they're done.

Come on.



Frame by frame, you can actually see the nail rise at an angle and straighten into place.

He never shows the audience the supposed nails in the gun, and he never shows the top of the board, which magicians always do to prove that a particular object is legitimate.

It's just a prop board.
