Thank you for this reveal. So someone wrote the answers, placed the paper on top of the sole in the prop brought in to hold the briefcase. You then stepped on the sole and therefore placed it in your shoe as you yelled for the audience to applaud Teller coming up - hiding the sound of the sole’s magnets clicking onto the shoe. Wow very tricky. The key is the helper who was off stage to load the answers onto the sole. No one expected an offstage helper - least of all Penn and Teller in this trick. Great job.

Truly a lesson in crafting the perfect magic trick, using all the tools at the disposal of the illusionist. The magnetic sole is a unique and brilliant innovation that produces a seemingly normal shoe that Jonathan can hold in his hand. Plus, changing the focus from the suitcase to the shoe was an excellent use of misdirection, causing Penn & Teller to overlook the simple possibility that the written answer was transported on stage with the table. On both counts you truly fooled them on the night, as part of an entertaining performance full of humour and surprises. Thanks for posting the solution after all these years, and for your graciousness in answering people's questions along the way. I'm interested to know if Penn & Teller have now learned the solution - I'm guessing they'd be doubly impressed.

To everybody that has shown interest in my Urban DVD, my next video "Propdog Vlog" is being uploaded and has a giveaway of 13 dvds!! Hit notifications now to not miss it drop tomorrow. Good luck. You guys have been Awesome! I can't reply to all comments but I DO read every single one. Big love
Richard Bellars I'd like a DVD please
I'd certainly love to get a DVD, but it would be wonderful to see you return to magic performance. You are gifted.
salvagebar I'm back for sure, big love dude
It's awesome that you pulled this off. I will say though that when I watch a magic show I always feel like it is cheating if someone is helping off stage. Same thing if the host of the show is secretly helping the magician.
What? Someone did help off stage.
The most amazing thing to me is that teller has never played rock paper scissors
yeah, I find that hard to believe. Surely everyone at some point has played it.
He actually created it
my dad has never played it either it was so confusing to surreal to have to explain it lol
Well done, the worst part about knowing how its done is realizing how far you were from the correct answer. Good job Richard
Matheus Cassaro I will miss people guessing that's for sure
Matheus Cassaro I am a beginner at magic I an 13 and would love a dvd
this guy 🙏
Not only am I not disappointed, but I'm even more impressed after learning the secret. A simple idea can turn out to be amazing and magical is what magic is all about!
Your first attempt on the show was an off the shelf trick, but your winning one was something you put your own SOUL into. Pun intended:) What a generous video you have given us here! I honestly don't think anyone could figure this out. Yes it's simple when you know. Disappointing? How many methods and sold tricks out there are disappointing but only cuz often the devilish secret is so simple. Great job mate! Thank you so much for sharing.
+Robert J appreciate your words dude, glad you enjoyed it
you could get a job in engineering.
Jon Curtis or gay porn
Exactly... It's the simplicity that makes it so genius
Just curious, what was the first trick he used called?
Thank you for this reveal. So someone wrote the answers, placed the paper on top of the sole in the prop brought in to hold the briefcase. You then stepped on the sole and therefore placed it in your shoe as you yelled for the audience to applaud Teller coming up - hiding the sound of the sole’s magnets clicking onto the shoe. Wow very tricky. The key is the helper who was off stage to load the answers onto the sole. No one expected an offstage helper - least of all Penn and Teller in this trick. Great job.
I really don't like off stage helper tricks though. Meh.
@@JacaboBlanco i get the sentiment - but P&T know the rules to the show so they know it’s fair game - and plus they know he couldn’t have written it himself having been watching him the whole time. But maybe I’m missing something
Holy _balls,_ dude! I *adore* how simple this is! The best trick methods are ones that are dead-ass simple, but that no one else would have had the creativity to try. Bravo!!
Such a great trick! Letting the children and adults know that just about anyone can fool some of the best in magic by simply thinking outside the box. Thank you for revealing this. You never had to but to be able to see the simplicity behind it makes me smile and chuckle.
Thank you for making this video Richard. Knowing this is no disappointment at all, even somehow makes it even better. Great job!
Thank you guys. Means a lot.
this is the best conclusion to a fool us video ever. thank you for explaining it to us, absolutely brilliant. you are a class act.
Perfect example of not giving up, you were busted at first And came back later to fool them. Well done
One thing I know about Penn and Teller is if you are going to fool them, you need to create your own tricks because they know all of the old ones.
And that's why they hound the people who fool them backstage for how they did it, and invite them to perform with them. 🤣
I remember watching your trick years ago, completely befuddled. Glad I've managed to stumble upon it again now, that there is a proper explanation for it. Thanks for making it public, it won't keep me awake at night anymore. :D Good job on the trick and really, thanks for letting us know about how it was done!
Awesome video, very interesting. I don't have any experience with props/gimmicks so this sort of creative process is very eye opening. Keep up the good work!
Eduard Todor cheers buddy, I don't have much experience either... as in just the once. I hate performing for magicians normally lol
Eduard Todor ayyy it's my boi Edward todor
Eduard Todor hey I'm subbed to you
Some people complain when tricks are revealed but I always find it interesting and sometimes more amazing how simple and how creative the real answer is. Good job Mr Bellars.
What's, good peeps!
My favorite part was using the crowd to mask out the sound of the gimmick. Talk about resourcefulness.
I love the fact that everyone is focused on the suitcase to contain the prediction, and that allows for the table to be brought on stage without anyone noticing it wasn't there in the first place. That's great misdirection!
Thanks for sharing your trick. I love magic, but it's pretty hard to beat the look on the faces of Penn and Tellar when they are actually fooled. They are like kids again just as we all are when someone manages to pull that wool so effectively. Cheers mate.
Magnets... of course. Why did no-one think of the bloody magnets.
+Brodire2012 LMAO!!
SCIENCE, BITCH!

I had thought of it. NOT lying.
HOW DO THEY WORK?
"Wouldn't it be awful if you discovered this was just another dream?" -Jonathan Ross
It's interesting to acknowledge these genius tricks after they've been performed on stage and they left you breathless. Thank you for this video!
I didn't see your original. But I just watched the FU video and enjoyed it very much. Then I watched your reveal video and went back to watch your FU again. Seven years after you posted FU and 5 years after the Reveal and watching P&T say they were fooled, and it was still exciting to watch you react to fooling them. Thank you for posting both these videos. I wish you well.
It's not disappointing at all. Magic tricks take creativity, and thinking up how to do it is the real amazing part. Something so simple, and to fool them all you have to do is use a different method than they try to guess. Well done!
Massive respect here Richard! Thank you for sharing your brilliance. Hope your career continues to grow.
Love the way this whole thing came together. Kudos!
Thanks for sharing this, and more-so for answering a large portion of the comments on this video giving your viewers even further insight to this creative trick.
No midgets???? MY LIFE HAS BEEN A LIE
Brin The guy off stage was pretty short... any consolation?
Hahaha
Nope, no midgets! Apparently, they're called "little people" now.
You're incredible for explaining this for all of us, and even more incredibly literally no one guessed it.
I figured wires and you pulled the answer paper down into your sock. Your method is so much cleaner. Congratulations on kicking butt.
This trick is so charming and simple. I applaud you for sharing your method publicly!
"honest trickery". Nice. Blazingly simple yet hugely entertaining. Voted !
Lmao 😂😂😂 love the heckler trick...watched every fool us episode and it seems the simplest tricks are the ones that fool penn and teller. Even with these simple methods I would still stuff it up lol keep up the good work.
I usually avoid looking in the comments in magic trick videos, or clicking on any of the unofficial "TRICK REVEALED!" videos that youtube likes to suggest. But hey, if the magician himself wants to reveal it, awesome. I never would have guessed that. Simple and brilliant.
You're amazing man, love your work. Thanks so much for making this vid!
Thanks so much for this, the insight into the thought process, and the info about how it works behind the scenes was very entertaining. Regarding the magnets, having the pole orientation of the front magnet on the shoe be the opposite of the magnets on the back of the part you are picking up would prevent it from attaching early. Probably not a trick you are going to be doing again after this video though, heh. Again, great job!
One of my favorite fooling moments on Fool Us. I was convinced you had one in each shoe. Thanks for sharing the method.
Rick Pompa My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it dude
It proves that an idea, no matter how simple it seems once explained, is absolutely brilliant at it's time of conception. Simple technology and great showmanship fooled two of the best magicians going and that's the part I enjoyed. You got em.
I absolutely love how such a simple gimmick creates such a fantastic trick! Great work!
I'm surprised that this fooled them -- the table coming from back stage should have been a big red flag -- but maybe they didn't realize/remember that the table wasn't initially on stage.
Them participating and all the stuff going on onstage helpt to distract them. And you dont know its a prediction trick until the end.
@psy0rz Pretty sure he said he made a prediction and put it in the box almost as soon as he got on stage....
Don't worry about not having a script or lines on the fool us performance. The ad libs were fine and jonathan ross really made up for that. Hilarious and entertaining. Keep it up
Vicschannel cheers dude
Richard, you are generous to share this Exclusive and Brilliant process!! In no way would I have figured it out. And I LOVE how creatively simple you made an answer to this question of getting it into the shoe. You are a Master of your Craft! Much Respect.
I was baffled badly. I couldn't put the pieces together...but you did...(pun intended). Just brilliant! I want your three DVDs.
thanks Richard, love the fact you made up this method basically on the spot and still managed to fool them.
Fantastic work, really ingenious (love the anti-heckle bit too LOL).
I like the little things, like having to make the adjustment to have the crowd cheer to hide the "click" sound of the magnets.
Saw both performances on P & T and was in tears when Richard 'won' on second attempt. Trick is fantastic, and when you find out how it is done it is very much hmmmmmm now why didn't I think of that! Brilliant
Penn has said that P&T spend an unbelievable amount of time money and effort to set up something that takes only about 30 seconds for you to see.
Awesome video bro. Keep it up
Nicely done! The method is never disappointing to me. I find it fascinating and clever.
The best tricks usually have the simplest methods. Nicely done.
Hope you'll start to upload on the regular now! Fantastic stuff
Abdullah Khan definitely will dude
Love this! Well done on P&T, and thank you for letting us in on the secret
Awesome. Love to see how these trucks are conceived!
Its so real how looks changes over the years but the skills of magic is still there and growing in you. Nice one mate.. Would love your DVD ... Nice hair mate.. :)
I remember watching this on tv and I had NO idea how it was done but I still made a guess and that guess was Completely wrong
I liked and I'm already subscribed and I have notifications on
+Sports54 Awesome!!
Richard Bellars Richard Bellars that ending trick that you did was the best one by far! The magic is really in your hands!! I'll have to try that next time I see a heckler
+Sports54 check out the next video "propdog Vlog to see where to get hold of one
Richard Bellars ok!
Thanks for making this video! It's quite funny that so many people (including Penn and Teller) could be fooled by this, so simple but I couldn't have guessed it in years either - nice one mate
I've had all sorts of ideas about your trick, but it had me stumped for years and years!
Watched the show yet again . Very cleaver 👍 I would have never considered your method . I would have been going around in circles. And no its not Penn and Teller getting your views its you and your act. Excellent and still amazing to watch even knowing the method 😊😊
+The Kilted Goth wow thank you!
I think I missed something I still don't understand when the correct answers were written and placed in the shoe.
during the whole part where Penn and Teller play darts, pick words, and play rock paper scissors someone wrote the results down on what looks like the ticket to the show, and then was placed in the table that was brought on.
He explains that in detail at 9:04
@@andytheR I thought it wasn't allowed to have someone else helping with the trick
@@ePSnwcyd It's fine ... you just cannot have someone act as a plant (an audience member saying they don't know the magician when they do).
@@ePSnwcyd No, they can't have stooges but they can have backstage assistants
Thank you for sharing this because I was truly stumped. I like your honesty about the rehearsal mishaps.
Hey, Richard... we used to work together, LAMBERTS! Remember your magic, esp one particular trick in the call centre. Can't believe you made and BEAT P&T! that's awesome. Chatted last week with Mike Alan, your name came up. small world. Warmest wishes. Jon
lol, the trick at 13:35 had me freeze framing the video, amazingly done.
Richard Kronk Thank the guys at Alakazam for that beauty of a trick.
Richard Bellars this is Expansion correct? Awesome gimmick. So cool.
Still amazingly performed and seemless. Trust me I went frame by frame to see.
What's the name of that trick yeah?
Well that close, well lit and with that deep of an angle the quadruple lift looks a little fishy, but in a bar setting it's a perfect trick.
Im still confused about how the paper got from the assistant writing it down, to a location where you can step on it? EDIT: OH I see, they had an assistant bring a table on stage with it hidden somewhere at the bottom. They totally edited it out so that was not shown during the act, made it much harder to guess thats for sure.
I’ve noticed on a lot of performances the camera cuts away at ‘special’ moments. 👍🏼
I would have never ever even thought of that way the effect works!!!! Love it
Truly a lesson in crafting the perfect magic trick, using all the tools at the disposal of the illusionist. The magnetic sole is a unique and brilliant innovation that produces a seemingly normal shoe that Jonathan can hold in his hand. Plus, changing the focus from the suitcase to the shoe was an excellent use of misdirection, causing Penn & Teller to overlook the simple possibility that the written answer was transported on stage with the table. On both counts you truly fooled them on the night, as part of an entertaining performance full of humour and surprises. Thanks for posting the solution after all these years, and for your graciousness in answering people's questions along the way. I'm interested to know if Penn & Teller have now learned the solution - I'm guessing they'd be doubly impressed.
Bloody brilliant!
Still one of the most amazing ticks I've seen.
+chris browne wow Thanks!
Absolutely brilliant! You're a true genius Richard!! Hope you are well!!
I see. So an offstage assistant was writing this down on the paper and placed it in some secret compartment as the table was being transported up with the magnetic shoe piece, and you step on it, and then it is loaded successfully with the paper in the shoe with the answers. Smart.
Very nice of you to reveal this amazing routine,you surely fooled me RB ;-) PS:so there was someone under the table writing the outcome on the piece of paper who placed it in the cut out piece of shoe??
Frederic Vandeputte it was placed in there off stage.. before the table made it's way on stage
+Richard Bellars ok thank you for your response Richard ,i just watched your performance now for the third time .So there was someone else who wrote the prediction backstage who then placed the piece of paper in the cut out of the shoe?
Ayyyeee, I love your profile picture
Yep, you got it Frederic, that is how understand what Richard said. Richard also said the cut out piece of shoe was hidden in the leg of the table and when the table was brought out he stepped on the cut out piece piece of shoe. But how he got the cut out piece of shoe out of the leg of the table in order to then step on it, I am unsure of.
susp1 there was a hole at the bottom of the table at floor level. So he just slipped his foot in and stepped on it. At least that is how I understood it.
That is awesome magic about the illusion not how simple the method you nailed it!! Again awesome brilliant!!!
Owen Lee thanks dude!!
That was absolutely amazing!!! Say what u want about the simplicity & downplay it all u want but 2 come up with the idea was absolutely genius. Keep up the amazing work & never lose that drive & determination.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. I didn't remember the table being brought on after the contests were complete. That would have been a big clue, but even so, I would not have guessed that it was something as simple as a gimmicked shoe. It seems like every trick is so simple once you learn the secret. I don't think it spoils the entertainment. I'm glad things have changed from when I was a kid, and the secrets were never revealed, because back then, watching magic shows only frustrated me.
Brilliant!
He's such a good magician, he's made his hair disappear
strong work, buddy. loved your show on P&T.
I did not find this disappointing at all. brilliance is just thinking of something no one else has and you sir did that fantastically
Is it fair if my mental powers tell me that I have already won the DVD in the most possible future? (I will use only one account to comment, I don't really need the three of them, but thanks for making it possible!) Wonderful video by the way, GREAT attitude on making it, really GREAT.
I love that the method is something I could have knocked up on the kitchen table if I was clever enough to think of it, rather than something made from Russian rocket parts and silicon chips, purchased from a magic trick inventor for thousands of pounds.
I absolutely loved the video! The method can't be disappointing if it's so effective, well done!
You are so awesome for this reveal. Clever and cool you got those guys good! Thanks!
Do you get to reveal the trick to P&T after the show? If so, how did they react?
I've always been curious to a similar question. I have always wondered what kind of conversation happens between P&T and a magician that fooled them.
@@jaredpeterson5335 Penn said a lot of them reveal the methods to them out of pure eagerness.
@BroskyWhoDatedHoski Yes, they have a team of magicians and consultants backstage who all know the method to make sure the contestants don't cheat.
@@jaredpeterson5335 There are off-stage judges. The magicians tell the judges the trick, so they can then confirm if P&T get it or not.
@@christiancampbell3430 You're nearly right. There's only one person who is told the secret and he's also a magician. He sits off stage and can hear everything PaT say in their talk. It's his final decision on if they were fooled. It explains this in the full shows. Maybe watch them instead of YT clips.
Great video, great method, thought the method was a lot more complicated
Ben Brady My dad would be very happy with your avatar! #Eagles
Very very cool! I love how you really thought about how it could be done then sacked all those ideas off and came up with a brand new gimmick. Love it
Really cool geting the chance to see how it was done. Thanks for the experience.
You know when he reveals his trick that he's come up with something even more brilliant.
One question how long did they Penn and Teller deliberate for? Seems like 30 seconds but I'm sure it's longer? And how long were you actually on stage for?
Aaron411 Great question! They deliberated for about 6-7 minutes which felt like a year up there. You can hear the frustration in JR's voice
Oh wow! They make it seem like 30 seconds! Congrats and I can't wait for more of your videos! And Wow Im surprised you actually responded I'm used to not getting replies so thank you!
As a follow-up to that question, , do they get access to any resources while they deliberate? if they're mostly sure they know where an effect is from but can't remember the name or creator for them to communicate it, can they research or ask someone or is it all in their heads? Also, thanks for this vid. Blows my mind to see how some gimmicks are made.
Michael Lorenson All in their heads, which is a sick amount of knowledge!!
That's pretty incredible. I'm fairly new to the whole thing and I can barely keep everything straight. Anyways, thanks again for the vid, for the reply, and wishing you much continued success :)
Way too late for the giveaway, but had to leave a comment about this video. Absolutely fantastic to see you following up on this! The simple methods can be the hardest to figure out. Wonderfully done, great prop and thanks for sharing the explanation!
Fascinating!!! So simple yet so so magical in its execution. You have an amazing gift, Sir.
Mine was the comment suggesting a small person with nice handwriting secreted in the plinth on the original video. I should very much like to be selected at random to win one of the DVDs. Let's let fate decide.
+Sir Magic John AMAZING!!!
Nice, very clever. I wonder if given say 3 chances, would Penn & Teller have figured it out?
Alex hobbs Teller genuinely said he could have guessed all night. He had another guess backstage... lol
Richard Bellars haha, i take it they know how it is done now? I was thinking this is a trick that you could only perform with a stage, but im sure there is a way of adapting it to more of a street scene?
Alex hobbs I wrote it for stage but street could be easy too. Someone writing and placing the sole just out of sight behind a bin etc. Could work..
TBH i think alot of people could have guessed all night, everyone is so acustomed to thinking it goes down in the shoe, i dont think many could have guessed it, honestly its a stoke of brilliance where you think out of the box... in the way this is executed it kind of reminds me of the chris angel levitation(which i asume you are familiar with), i dont think many would have guessed that either.. i have loved and studied magic for 30 years now, but i would never have guessed magnetic sole :p
Was seamlessly put together! Really enjoyed it and thanks for the reveal!
Thank you for this explanation. This one fooled me and nothing I came up with could explain it. Brilliant creation.
Not only did I think you had someone in that box, I felt good about myself.
How did you put the other info on the paper?
S1 of stage
The dislikes are from Penn and Teller
+MeltSnowMan 😂😂
Great job! Love the reveal. My 9 year old son would LOVE your DVD. He is real big into throwing cards (and card tricks in general). Anyway, cheers man!
Extraordinarily clever and a beautiful performance, Richard.
G L O R I O U S !
It's Richard Bellars again with some crazy James Bond magic. Holy cow!
AgariGoPlay You're the second person to describe it as James Bond magic..
You nailed it, I had assumed some sort of shoot into ya foot but still thought how though! Never thought there was a gapping whole in ya foot! Lol!
just watched your winning video and seeing this video. very wise line you said here that all the years practice and doing magic for years and all you had to do is one move to step on the block - made a big difference. I liked your thinking and approach.
