Magician Andy Gershenzon FOOLS Penn and Teller with INSANE and IMPOSSIBLE card trick!!

foreign actor writer director New York theater parties are basically unofficial talent shows and I wasn't the guy who sang show tunes and I didn't want to be the guy who recited Hamlet on the corner, you don't want to be that guy so I used to take out my

card

s and performing magic

trick

s, so that was really my Genesis, that's when I started getting pro-ish. The truth is that I think acting is very similar to magic, an actor transforms into a completely different person, a loving father or a drunk business tycoon or a scammer, that is magical, so I have always thought that being actor I've been performing a kind of magic all along, Penn Teller, to cheat or not to cheat tonight, that's the question as you enter the coolest spotlight.

Andy gershenson pen tell him thank you very much for inviting me. I love playing

card

s because for many people a card

trick

is their first experience with Conjuring. Who among us hasn't had an uncle or friend show us our first card trick? a beat-up old deck of cards on a camping trip or late at night at the kitchen table, Allison, you've no doubt been asked to pick hundreds of cards over the many years you've hosted this show, so tonight you won't be I'll bother browsing them. the deck or tell me when to stop shuffling I will simply ask you to name a card that is not your favorite card.

I might know which one it is. I want you to name a card that you have never named before. The nine of swords. Thank you. that's the Magic Moment and I don't want to be presumptuous, Allison, but I think this one could fool you because look how I fooled you, I fooled you and this is you to fool you and if this worked here it should be your card the nine of swords. thanks Another thing I love about cards is that there are so many different ways to make the magic happen. Would you do the honor of naming a different card?

Surely the eight of hearts the eight of hearts. Thanks now Penn, if your letter is at the top, that would be a miracle and I'll take all the credit, no, but maybe it's second from the top, that might be I don't know interesting or curious enough, not again and that's okay because we're going to use these two random cards to find your card somewhere. in the center of the corral, do me a favor. I'm going to run my finger over the cover. Just say: "stop whenever you want", stop here, yes, or do you want to continue.

I'll stay there, okay? I'm going to take the two cards, put them in that same place and this is where things get very interesting. Two random cards exactly where you told me to put them. They put their hand in the deck and take them out. They capture a single card between them. That's fascinating, but. it's just magic if it's the card you wanted write once again what card you wanted eight of hearts and there we have the eight of hearts thank you now it is with honor and humility that I invite cashier to please join me on stage cashier I have been dreaming of performing for you since I started practicing magic as a child.

I don't have to sell you on the beauty of card magic. You understand better than anyone how much Wonder lives in these 52 pieces of paper. Please notice that. Each of these cards is different and if you are happy, shuffle them and cut them fairly. I made Alison and Penn's letters appear miraculously. Tell him about your letter. I made a prediction, please look at the top card you cut, but don't let us see it yet first I want to show you my prediction I have been dreaming about this day for so long and in all my dreams

teller

Cut straight to the King of Clubs

teller

just like I dreamed of please show everyone your card in fact it is the King of Clubs the King of Diamonds that is not in my dream but it is in my reality this is very impressive thank you you did it right under their noses I know it was intense yes yes and your dream too it was a recurring dream it's only really meaningful once it's recurring and meaningful and always picks the same card, always picks the same card and how the dream ends Trophy You know I wake up but just before you know I find out I wake up oh wow, yeah Okay, so you're from New York, isn't that a great place to perform?

It's a great place to perform. Know? Sometimes I get on the subway, take out the cards and see what happens. It's kind of my Venus flytrap and uh, you know, at the next stop I'm having a party, so it's the weirdest show you've ever done. I was once hired to do a performance in the back of a limo for a bachelorette party. a very long limousine I got in and out of the limousine and did magic for each of the ladies, yes, it's okay, dreaming about a trip becomes a trophy, well, Andy, what a nice clean way to do magic, it ve just looks really beautiful and really friendly. and you did three tricks for us, three tricks for us, the first one for Allison, a really very good trick, we knew it, they did a trick for me and it was a really very good trick between the two cards, really nice, very clean and We knew it. and then I said as the cashier came up, I said, you know, tell him that when you're going to go up there and you're going to sit there, you're going to be right on top of them and I'm not going to be able to see that clearly, you know because Teller was a few feet away from them. you and I am here meters and meters from you.

I kept telling myself, you know this is it, this is all up to Teller, you know this isn't it. It's not a total loss anymore, it's Teller and Teller was watching you like a hawk and I was like a little sick and creepy like a little Bobby Dylan. He was just letting me tell him to take it and some people say he knows a lot more magic than I do and he knows. he really does it it was really Manoa monkey you and Teller that was it and I won't repeat it you didn't fool us you fooled yourself tell him and that's enough oh my god I'm totally clean oh my god thank you so much
