Hello it's Emma here! This is my original performance from my time on Fool Us. Thank you all for the support it means a lot. Just the likes and shares are really helpful so keep it up!
Love you! Very nice Performance, and safly you did not fool them, but you fooled me :-) ! Next time you get them! Best of luck!
I was so rooting for you. That was an amazing magic trick and you had me fooled. There is no doubt in my mind that you will go far in life with your performances. Do not let gender be an issue at all. You have a great stage presence.
Hi Emma, fool us is mine and my wifes favorite show on Friday nights. I have to work every other Friday so we have the series recording on dvr. We saw your original performance a few weeks back and loved it. We feel you're going to go far. Keep it up sweetie and we hope to see you again in the near future.😊
Great job Emma! If I was psychic I would say I see great things in your future.
I look forward to seeing repeat appearances to try to get the trophy again =)
Another performance that clearly demonstrates that winning the trophy is not the main goal of this show. The true purpose is to witness amazing magicians perform even more amazing magic acts. Your stage presence is incredible; you're confident, professional, and it is clear that you love being there and performing magic tricks. You even handled Penn professionally. You didn't let him look around and carelessly touch things at the end. No, you placed the piece of paper in his hand and essentially said, 'Here you go, you can examine this as much as you want. Now, go back to your chair and sit down.' Great job!
Thank you 🙏🙏
2:46 "whatever you want it's fine" I love that confidence and honesty. I can see Penn's face going "is she doing this the hard way?"
"She hates Penns!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
But she love that pen as in Penn
I'm no magician but I am a cuber, and the casual way you used actual cubing skills while chatting with Penn was very impressive!
if you are a cuber you may have realized the color scheme on that cube was not correct... there is something odd about that cube.
@@manusoftar you are dead wrong. the main part of the trick is that she was able to solve the side a normal cube half way while looking at it, and then the rest while looking away and talking to Penn
@@manusoftar It was non-standard colours, but I'm 99% sure that I could hand her any one of my 3x3 cubes, and she could do the trick just as well.
@@Wright1331 I know, I was just saying it looked odd to see that color pattern... The trick is no mistery, there are a couple of options for some parts (like, how did she managed to know which color did Penn choose, because it was clearly not a force, she could have done that by memory like knowing the original orientantion of the cube and keeping the order on her head as she turned the cube around or even by having some kind of tactile assitance on the cube itself to help her know which face she was touching) but it pretty straight forward.
@@Autoskip yep, it's not a gimmicked cube, it's just odd that she didn't use a regular color scheme for it... there are many ways in which she may have known which color did Penn choose... she may have memorized the orientation she started from and keep a mind record of how many movements she did on her back until Penn asked her to stop to know exactly on which color she landed, or even have something on the cube, like something she could feel by tact to know which face Penn choose. The rest is just solving the first face but disregarding the other of the cross and corners so it is not that obvious that she, basically solved that face. The block part is a commercial thing that has been used for years (Like, the bowling ball from a paper block, and even David Copperfield has a trick where he draws a landscape and then makes the moon rise on the paper and lastly he rips the page and gives it to the spectator).
I like this trick, but it is sort of awkward to first ask the person to mix the cube up and then take it just to mix it up yourself. Everyone knows you are doing something there even if they may not realize what just yet. When you reveal that the bottom side is all one color, everyone remembers you mixing that up for a good 15-20 moves before placing it in his hands. It's like asking a spectator to shuffle a deck of cards but then take it back and shuffle it again.
ya this really seamed like a simple trick to me. she only rotated the cube in 1 direction when it behind her back. very simple to keep track of what side is facing out. then getting the first layer of a cube is the easiest part, just practice solving that upside down while talking. then the picture she gave him at the end was a pre-drawn similar picture because she closed the book after the trick then opened it again to get the picture.
Yes the trick wouldnt fool a 12 year old. Somebody needs to break her heart and tell her that her magic trick is for donkeys!
There are many tricks that ask a spectator to shuffle a deck and then the magician takes it back and manipulates the deck lol. Having the spectator shuffle the cube means she has to either solve a side of the cube from any position during her conversation or swap the cube out for another cube. She chose the former which is actually more impressive then the normal magician route of swapping the cube.
@@taggartaa yes but the magician doesn't shuffle the deck after they ask a spectator. They manipulate it without them noticing. There are ways to concele the fact that she is solving the bottom layer without just doing it in front of them.
@@taggartaaBut they wont do it while looking at all cards, which is what happens with the cube.
She radiates confidence - a star in the making for sure
I completely agree. She's a natural performer/entertainer and I was immediately captivated by her stage presence.
At first glance, when you started coloring in the book, I thought you were drawing the exact pattern under Penn’s hand, matching at least the visible sides on the book with the cube itself. I’m very impressed!
I'm impressed, she is reaaaally good at presenting.
The grandmother comment made me snort laugh. LOL My son is OBSESSED with his Rubik's Cube. He will love this video!
Not only is this a very entertains, engaging and clever trick, but how she hid how she did it from all but the most trained eye is magic in itself. I watched it back and I think I’ve worked it out, but that only makes it that much more impressive - to call this a mere ‘trick’ does not give true justice to what is required to perform it. I therefore know Penn wasn’t lying when he said he and Teller could never learn it. Knowing how it’s done is one thing, but being able to actually do it is a whole other story. Amazing - wishing this clever lady every success.
The thing With cube magic is: the trick is solving the cube.
you mean the one side
@@3dmagictricks The yellow face was not even properly solved, but that actually works better in the trick because there's no telling from the four adjacent faces. - It's easier as a cuber to stick all one colour on a face disregarding the adjacent faces (but still takes practice to do it so quickly as part of this act).
I'm so impressed! Just like with the Card Mechanic, how you can do that, it's crazy! And such an entertaining act around it. It was a great performance, and although it didn't fool me, I enjoyed every minute of that performance!
Great performance, thank you!
Very well done. And great presentation.
So amazing, love it, bravo Emma!
Congratulations on a great trick & performance. I really enjoyed that.
That was great. Keep going your Awesome!
I loved everything about your presentation!! You are awesome!!
Just amazing! Been a fan for a long time! Feels great to see you on the big stage!
Emma, great trick, fine performance! Looking forward to seeing you on stage in the future!
Fun and entertaining routine! Keep up the good work! ❤
Wow! amazing performance, I'm always fascinated by young magicians performing on an adult stage.
Hey, great job! Keep having imaginative fun! Keep creating.
This made me happy. Thank you.❤❤
Thank you so much I’m glad 🫶
I kept along with the trick, but the insane smoothness and confidence is astounding. Young lady you have an incredible career in magic ahead of you and dont let anyone tell you otherwise... 10/10 performance!
Great, original trick, I loved it!
Amazing! I love cube magic and this routine was brilliant
It wasnt. It was even quite obvious while she arranges the cube by herself before giving it to penn. I get that nobody wants to break her heart but come on. The sooner she knows this trick wouldnt fool a 12 year old the better she will be at progressing towards magic tricks.
@@JoHn-if6wy well she got me lol I forgot she “scrambled” the cube herself a little - she successfully misdirected me! And the paper changing color was cool to me!
Brilliant performance 🔥🔥
Great performance and trick. So much fun.
Great performance! Congrats 🎉
Well done performance and what is MUCH better than that is the fact that you are very likeable as a person so people will enjoy watching you. Thank you for a fun watch. 😄
Ayo congrats! That was amazing. Keep up the great work. For being nervous, as you said you were, it actually didn't come through in the pacing of your dialogue. You seemed calm and in control. Astonishing! Keep slaying and biggest blessings!
I hope to see your magic act in Vegas and on tv again. You're a totally great magician. 👏 👏 👏
That trick was great! What a wonderful experience for you, keep it up!
Been doing magic for long long time now This was incredibly impressive You have a great future ahead with that kind of skill Amazing! 👍😎
Just saw your first video from 9 years ago You definitely come a long way congratulations 🎉 Maybe in 3 years AGT why not you can do it 👍✌️
That was an amazing trick! Amazing job! 😁
Bravo Emma! It was great meeting you in Vegas 🙌
I love it. Very good performance you are very ahead. ❤❤
Beautiful magic trick, Brava!
You have such phenomenal stage presence! Great trick, and a nice departure from other cube magic!
Great job, :) I am very impressed by your skills. Keep bringing joy to people by showing them your magic!
Really great act. You do see cube magic here and there; but this is really well done. Great job, Emma!
that was awesome!!!
how excellent to be so composed on stage at that age
Hi Emma! I hope you continue your journey, you will be successful at everything you do! Your parents must be proud and I will share your performance with my 3 daughters, thank you!
Great performance!
Keep it up! I can’t wait to see how famous you get! You can also market and seek the tricks you devise. Good luck to you!
Such a great magician, I wish her the best at NYU.... John from New Jersey #1 Fan
Great show! I’m no magician, so you definitely fooled me! Very good show! Very entertaining! You will do great things!
Great job young lady!! 😃
Very impressive - I think I've got everything you did EXCEPT for the cube solve. And the way you perform is great, you have a bright future for sure!!!
Emma's delivery is polished like bright chrome! ❤
Amazing performance
This is the type of trick that you could explain what you're doing as you're doing it, and it would still be impressive.
Amazing performance, original, funny and very well done. Good luck next time
That was awesome to watch
I know exactly how the whole trick works, but I'm all the more fascinated. Great job. I wish you every success in your future magic career :)
Great job! You have a bright future ahead of you. The most impressive parts actually weren’t cubing or magic, it’s your ability to articulate and present your show in front of the big audience. And most importantly, you have a great attitude. I’m sure you’re do great things in the future. Keep it up! (Btw, I’m a cuber and was a magician too back in the day, and your trick deeply resonates with me.)
You did not fool us, but we will make you feel great. I love how he makes magicians feel appreciated.
Great trick Emma!
That’s a cool trick! Don’t feel bad for not fooling them, some of the greatest magicians I’ve seen didn’t fool them. These guys have been around this stuff for two times longer than you’ve been alive. Great job
She didn't fool them because it was incredibly obvious what she did.
There wasn’t anything remotely good about this. She put it behind her back and rotated it the same way, knowing between the 4 colors by turn. Then she just cubed. This is maybe the dumbest “trick” I have ever seen
@@timcarter817 Completely agree. The only thing she was good at was casually putting the yellow on the bottom while talking to Penn.
@@ricardovela2455 How did she make the yellow appear at 4:45?
she had me fooled , stellar performance !!
Well done, Emma! Cheers from Germany! :)
Absolutely Mind Blowing, may you be prosperous in all your days ahead and may your life be full of Magic and Joy💥🙀🥰😍👍✌️🤟💯‼️
You have a great future. Keep up the good work.
Just wow, Emma! At 18, I was an idiot. You have poise, charm and intelligence. You definitely fooled me! I think you'll go far.
Wonderful routine and done with such poise. You did really well and have great things ahead of you.
She’s amazing
This is not magic in its typical form. This is 100% skill that most people do not have and will never have and some easy and basic magic routine. Still impressive and certainly worth respect. The act was smooth and the audience loved it. Flawless performance.
I think all magic is skill. It's not like other magicians are using real magic ;)
@@Dayvit78 Some skills require specific mental powers that cannot be learned. It needs to be a born genius to be able to master them. I do not claim that other magicians use real magic, as there is no such thing as real magic. While I fully understand the steps, I would be incapable of performing them nowhere close to that speed and confidence as I saw in the video (and most likely I would make a mistake somewhere). Many "magic moves" do not require special skills, just practice. But this is not just practice, it is about being a genius. Comparable to top musicians who master their instrument in a way that the vast majority of fairly good players never achieve, even if they practice for decades. Some people have a gift to play the violin like nobody else, some people have other gifts. Some of us, like me, have none. 🙂 But that does not mean we cannot enjoy and appreciate performances by those who have them.
I don't think it's 100% skill, the trick with the invisible ink is a magic trick. I suspect the secret is when penn says blown away
@@erikziak1249not trying to discredit i myself think the trick was nice. but there ins't anything difficult in this trick. the most complicated part is 3:00 where you need to solve one face of the cube
never change. always be humble as you are. don't throw your innocence for the evil world
Amazing 👏
I like how you merged Cardiograph and Cube magic
Great performance, Emma! You fooled me, but then that might not be saying much because I am not a magician. Keep up the good work!
Pretty awesome!
You're very confident. Keep at it.
I have a pretty good idea of how you did this, and I'm more impressed because of it. Keeping track of the colors and then casually solving the cube while chatting up a giant of a man (literally and figuratively) took nerves of steel. I don't know how the color reveal works, but I've seen enough of those to know that it's some kind of well-known trick.
martin lewis's cardiographic is the trick used. and its wonderfully executed too.
@@rick5078 I suspected that must be the case when Penn mentioned Martin Lewis. I'm not a student of magic, but I've seen the show enough to work out how Penn encodes things.
I thought one of my markers might be like writing in invisible ink on a delay, and then I just thought she must have huge sack to get the timing right. The idea that it was regular paper they could examine and not an insert being pushed up by a finger definitely surprised me. Dig her confidence.
@@seancrandall1291 I thought the exact same, her demeanor seemed to change a tiny bit right at that moment as well.
That was actually awesome, I always find the Rubik’s cube ones interesting because of how “free” the choice is.
The color pick was a bit of a let down though. Even handling the cube behind her back, she knew exactly which color was picked, so the rest was just gimmicks and knowing how to solve a rubiks. Delivery was aweome though.
You're incredible. Thank you for your personality and performance. Hopefully we'll get to meet one day.
Great job, Emma! I'm subscribing to your channel. 🙂
Dr. Martin Lewis, the cardiologist, would be proud. A captivating performance.
I hope she comes back again. Amazing performance and flip I couldn’t do that now (nearly 48) never mind at 18
Well done!
I am very impressed with your cube handling skills, especially being that close to Penn's ever-watching eyes. Fluid hand movements and Penn distraction moments came together perfectly!
Yeah, incredible she could rotate it where only 4 possible colors and count how many times she rotated it 🙄
She started rotating on her own, knowing she was only choosing between four colors. She knew where she started rotating it bc she chose where to hold it when she put it behind her back. So she easily knows his color. After that, it is just normal cubing. This is lame af
@@timcarter817 How did she make the colour appear?
@@raresaturn try reading what I said slower this time, doofus
Trick is great congratulations 🎉❤
i used to do rubix cubes alot and i mean alot but man you are quick what the :D the second you put the cube back into penns hands i was like she just didnt ! haha. looking forward to your next take on fooling them :)
she solved it and gave it back to him yellow all down, while only turning it one direction behind her back.. Nice confidence and congrats on trending.
I did figure it out, but MAN I wanted her to win! The world needs more bright young magicians adding in new tricks! Cant wait to see you in the future!
You figured it out? How? What did she do, use disappearing /reappearing ink? And how did she know what color he picked?
@@John_Michael2000 she only rotates the cube in one axis with her hands behind her back, she just has to remember the color and count how many she has turned the cube to know what color was chosen, even if she rotated the cube on the other axis, it would be easy to know what color is where for an experienced cuber. Have in mind there are kids that solve this thing completely blindfolded. As for the color, I think it's invisible ink activated by rubbing the marker over.
Cool - thank you... I like your class act.
Even if they know how it's done, it's still super impressive you did it!
I bought a book once which explained how to figure out the cube, now looking for the book which tells me how to figure out the first book... Stunning performance, salutations from London town
Thank you from the support from London Town!
Wow so good I still have no idea how you did this Vegas show soon for you!
Great great routine Emma 🎉❤
Glad you liked it!!
The youtube algorithm put you in my feed for some reason and I'm glad. That was great, you fooled me.
Very impressive !!!!
Nice work with the cube 🙂
Young lady.. you will look back when youre an old lady doing magic and laugh at yourself.. Fantastic performance 👏
Haha I already do that and it’s only been a year!
@@emmaolsonmagiccc im very happy to hear you're having personal growth as well.. much respect
@@emmaolsonmagiccc but I also wasnt joking.. and i know my name is jester so that can be confusing.. so laughing may have not been the correct response.. I also dabble in the mystical arts.. pick a number one through ten.. and also you can let me know what it is
200k views and only 1000 subscribers. come on chaps and chapesses, show her abit of support.
This was great. I think I know the method (only after thinking about it a while) but it's sick and it only means you're insanely good with the cube, the magic and the performance--and if I am wrong, you're even better. Most magicians impress me but do not amaze me. You did both.
