- Welcome to "Fool Us."
For over a decade, Penn and Teller
have welcomed the world's best magicians
right here on this stage.
The most deceptive ones leave with a "Fool Us" trophy
and international bragging rights.
Yet, that doesn't stop Penn and Teller
from putting their amazing minds and their reputations
on the line year after year.
Please welcome the unstoppable,

Penn and Teller give up a fancy trophy
and a slot in their show to the first magician who fools them.
They also give it to the second and third.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves here.
Let's begin with our first magician.
♪ ♪
- I started in magic so young.
I created effects for Copperfield and David Blaine
when I was in my early 20s.
It was amazing.
A lot of the time, I couldn't even believe
what was happening.
I believe it now.
Magic isn't just what I do now.
It's literally who I am.
When you know yourself like that,
you're ready to be a grown-up in other ways too.
Bonnie is the love of my life.
And raising a son together has made me a better man.
I live in a house now, not in a suitcase.
One whole room is my creative space,
where I get to build and dream.
It took me a long time to perfect the routine
I'm doing tonight.
But I'm really excited about the way it turned out.
So I think I have a fighting chance
to fool Penn and Teller.
I mean, if I saw someone else doing this routine,
I know it would fool me.
[cheers and applause]
- Give it up for the magic of Blake Vogt.
- Thank you.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Hello, Penn and Teller. Thank you for having me back.
I actually have a trick that needs three people,
so Brooke and Penn and Teller,
would you mind joining me on stage?
Give them a big round of applause.
[cheers and applause]
Nice to meet you.
You can stand roughly about here.
- OK. - Penn, you can come over here.
- And I'll be right here.
- Good to see you, sir.
Teller, good to see you. You can stand right here.
Perfect. - Here we are.
- OK, I've made a prediction over there in that envelope.
- OK.
- First question for all of you is there are three stools,
and there are three of you.
So in a moment, I'm going to have each of you
select a stool to stand in front of,
but I want you to try to pick the stool
you would think I wouldn't have thought
you would think to pick.
- OK. - OK?
So if you wouldn't mind, have a little team huddle right here
and discuss amongst yourselves where you would like to sit.
I don't have to hear it. You can whisper.
You can talk. You can decide.
You can tell each other where you want to stand.
It's totally up to you.
OK, and whenever you guys have decided,
you can stand in front of the stool you have selected.
That was the first choice.
Now I'll have each of you carefully have a seat for me.
Go for it. Yep.
- OK. - Perfect.
Excellent.
So three people, three stools.
Now I want each of you to think of a color.
Now, if I ask somebody to think of a random color,
you usually think of red, blue, green, yellow.
And it's very difficult to invent a color.
- Mm-hmm. - All right?
But Penn and Teller, of the two of you,
Penn, you're probably more famous for your words.
- Mm-hmm.
- So, Penn, if you were to attempt to make up a color,
like one word for a color, you just have to make up a word.
- One word? - One word.
Like, making up a color, what word would you make up, sir?
♪ ♪
- Slink. - Slink.
That's a great color.
That's a good one, actually nice.
It takes a second, though, right?
- Yeah. - It takes a second.
Slink. That's a good one.
Now, to make it easier for you and Brooke and Teller,
what I did was I went to a paint store,
and I took 100 different samples from the paint store.
Now, in a moment, I'm going to go down the row.
And I want each of you to reach in and take one out.
- OK.
- But I don't want you to look for your favorite color.
So look to the side, reach in, and select one color.
You first, Penn.
Make sure they don't stick together.
Make sure you get one.
They're kind of sticky. - They are sticky.
- And once you have one-- - I got one.
- All right, don't let me see it.
- I'm not letting you see it. - OK.
Brooke. - And don't look.
- You can just reach in and make sure you only have one.
Don't let me see it. You've got it?
Got one? - Can I look at it?
- You can look at it, but don't let me see it.
- You can look at it.
- Teller, would you please reach in there,
sir, and make sure you grab one?
But don't let me see it.
Do you have one, sir? Yes?
Cool.
OK, so three people, three stools, three colors.
Nothing makes sense yet, right?
- No, not at all. [laughs]
- Not at all.
But like I said, I made some predictions, OK?
Now, the first prediction I made
was over here in this envelope.
- OK.
- And I've gone nowhere near this, right?
- No. - No.
- You have now. - I have now.
Yes.
This is for you, Penn.
Would you hold on to that with the color?
Excellent.
And what I thought would hopefully happen before I came
out here was I was hoping that Penn
would be on the far right, then Brooke, then Teller.
[drum rolls] - Whoo!
[applause]
- All right.
- Pretty good? - Yes, Blake.
- That was the warm-up prediction.
- Good. - OK?
The next thing is those colors.
OK, I'll come down here first, all right?
Teller, if you wouldn't mind,
would you please hand that color to Brooke
so she can say it out loud for us?
- I might need your glasses, Penn.
- Brooke, would you please read that color out loud?
- Cloudless. - Cloudless.
OK, I'll take that back from you so you can see.
This is Teller's color, cloudless, right?
Now, it looks like a light blue,
but it's not called light blue.
It's called cloudless, very specific.
Now, what I didn't tell you guys
was when I went to the paint store,
I didn't just take those samples.
I bought three cans of paint, and I painted some stools.
- Oh.
- Teller, would you please stand up for me, sir,
and take one step over here to our left?
Excellent.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going
for cloudless or light blue.
Could I get a drum roll, please?
[drum roll plays] Drum roll.
That's right.
It's cloudless blue!
[applause]
Yes!
Nice!
Teller, you can have a seat.
Thank you, sir.
Perfect.
Brooke, would you please tell everybody
what was the color you selected?
- Outgoing orange.
I'll take that from you.
Not orange, outgoing orange.
Brooke, this is for you.
If you wouldn't mind, step right over there
to your right.
Ladies and gentlemen, we're going for outgoing orange.
Drum roll, please.
[drum roll plays]
And outgoing orange!
[applause] - What?
- Boom!
You can have a seat, Brooke.
- Wow. - All right.
- That's my favorite color.
- Penn, I bet you have no idea where this trick is going.
[laughs]
- I have.
- Penn, would you please tell everybody
what is the name of the color you selected, sir?
- I have premium clear coat.
That's not going to be easy. - Oh, great.
OK. - Uh-oh.
- That was not supposed to be in there.
OK, cool.
Great job, Penn.
[laughs]
Premium clear coat.
- Yeah.
- How would you--how would you describe clear coat?
- I don't know.
It's clear. - Clear?
- Like nothing.
Like no color. - No color.
OK, clear or no color.
Would all of you be impressed if Penn was sitting on a stool
that had no color at all?
- Yes.
[applause]
- All right, we're going to-- we're going to go for it.
Penn, would you please stand up, sir?
- OK.
- And take one step to your right.
All right, we're going to go for a clear coat, clear coat.
Drum roll, please. [drum roll plays]
All right.
Oh, you know what?
That looks pretty clear to me.
[cheers and applause]
- Whoo!
- Now, here's the thing.
I told you I made a series of predictions.
And there's actually one more thing I predicted.
And what I did was I wanted to make sure
you knew it wasn't printed,
so I wrote it in pencil.
And I wrote it inside something.
And I wanted it in plain view.
And so I've had Penn hold on to that envelope this entire time
that's now on the floor there.
Yes, sir.
- Mm-hmm.
- Would you please tear that envelope open?
- OK.
- You can rip it open there.
It should break open on the seam.
Here we go, just like this.
- OK.
- Penn, would you please read to everybody
what is written on the inside of that envelope, sir?
[drum roll plays]
- Penn will make up the color slink.
- Oh! - What?
[applause] - This is for you.
I'll hold this up.
Slink, ladies and gentlemen!
This is for you, sir. - Thank you so much.
- I guess you can go back to your seat.
Thank you so much, sir. - Thank you.
- Wow. - So good to see you.
- Blake Vogt, everyone.
That was so good.
That was amazing.
That was mind-blowing.
- Thank you.
- Can you let us into the magician mind?
If you see a trick, and you can't figure it out,
how do you ever get that out of your mind?
- I don't try to figure it out.
Sometimes it's just if you read it in a book
or you know how it works, you can't unknow something.
But you guys have the best magicians
in the world on here, so I'm regularly fooled by this show.
- What's the nuttiest thing you've ever been asked
to turn into a magic trick?
- I lived with David Blaine for about six months.
- Oh, wow. [laughs]
- And we had an alligator that was in the apartment.
And doing tricks and helping him with that alligator
is probably top of the list--
weird stuff I've done.
- A little bit harder than doves and chickens.
- Yes, yes.
- OK, Blake, do you think they know your magic secrets?
- I have no idea. - Let's check in with the boys.
- Yes.
- Hey, Blake, good to see you.
Always great stuff from you.
- Thank you.
- Always good, always inventive, always funny.
You know, when I look up on this stage right here,
I start thinking about a three-way.
I mean, maybe even-- [laughter]
Maybe even a six-way, maybe even a--
and I don't want you to take that the wrong way.
- I guess.
- And there's some of the stuff in here
like that that you know what I'm thinking.
And there are things in here that I'm not even
going to hint to you because you know that we know
that you know that we know.
And you weren't even pretending that
that was going to fool us.
You have one thing that you really think
is going to fool us.
And that's what I want to concentrate on because
we know you like the newest stuff.
We also know you haven't been on the show in a while.
And you've been plotting on how to take us down.
And I'm just telling you that we know you're plotting.
We know that.
- I don't know what they know because--
- And you also know exactly what I meant by the six-way,
so I do not think you fooled us.
- They are definitely not fooled.
They know what's going on. - I don't know what they know,
but do you know what they know? Because I don't know.
- They know exactly what's going on.
- Oh. [applause]
So you know what a six-way is? - Yes.
- Oh, yes. Thank you so much.
That was amazing. - Thank you.
And go back and play with us again.
- Yes, definitely. Thank you guys so much.
Appreciate it. - Blake Vogt, everyone.
- Thanks, Blake.
- Thank you, thank you, thank you.

- For me, the secrets of magic are
like a priceless inheritance that needs to be
passed along to the next generation.
So I mentor young magicians,
and I've done so for many years
because watching tricks on YouTube
just isn't enough.
To be a truly skilled magician,
I think you need to have a sense of history.
Most young magicians don't realize it,
but the major techniques of stage magic
were born over 150 years ago, the era of gears and steam.
[bell tolls]
That was a time of accelerated change just like today.
And if you study the old masters like I have,
you realize that even the oldest objects of wonder
can still amaze.
Tonight, I'm reviving a trick that's 150 years old.
Penn and Teller will surely think they know it,
until they don't.
And that's where I've got them.
Only time will tell.

- Please welcome, master magician, Marc DeSouza.
[applause]
- Thank you.
This evening, I'd like to present a classic of magic
from the Victorian age.
But this is "Fool Us."
And an old trick like this is not
going to fool Penn and Teller, so I added a couple of twists.
It uses things commonly found in that era.
First is this hat, commonly referred to
as a top hat, more properly as an opera hat.
This box is actually a tea chest,
the type found in Victorian drawing rooms.
It's used to hold your very best teas
to serve your guests.
And this--
a die, used to play games in the Victorian times,
although this one's just a little bit larger.
The illusion is called the flying die.
The die is placed into the chest.
I remove it and drop it into the hat.
It is gone from the chest and is in the hat.
Far more difficult is to reverse the procedure,
removing it from the hat and tossing it into the chest
where it lands audibly. [die clacks]
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, the flying die.
♪ ♪
You have to realize the Victorian audiences
were not nearly as sophisticated as you.
But I'll do it again in a hopefully
more convincing fashion.
We remove the die from the chest, drop it into the hat.
It has gone from the chest and is in the hat.
I know that look. [laughs]
You want me to open the other door.
I can do that.
[laughter]
And you want me to open both doors.
I can do that, too.
Actually, I can open all the doors
because the die is gone from the chest
and appears here in the hat.
The flying die.
[applause]
Oh, yeah. Now he's good.
You know, I realize you weren't expecting it
to be quite that convincing, so I'll do it again.
But this time, pay close attention
to the subtleties and nuances that make this
the classic that it is.
I remove the die and drop it into the hat.
It is gone from the chest. And it--
[laughter]
I thought I--
oh, that's a problem.
Um...
not sure what happened, but we can fix this in post.
OK.
I'll just keep going. I'll just keep going.
The die is in the chest.
We remove it, drop it into the hat.
It has gone from the-- [exhales]
Or not.
Um...
Let me check the book. Let me check the book.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah, I see the problem.
This is called a die box, not a dice box.
It only works with one die.
Let me get rid of that one,
and we'll try it just with this die.
Yeah, we'll remove it, drop it in the hat.
It's gone from--
[sighs]
I'm not sure what's going on here,
but let me get rid of this one.
I'll try it one last time.
You know, I had such high hopes of fooling you, guys.
I'm really sorry.
We'll do it one last time.
The die is in the chest. We remove it.
We drop it in the hat.
It's gone from the che--oh, it is.
It works.
It's gone from the chest and appears here in the hat.
The illusion involving a hat, a die, and a tea chest.
And I thank you for your kind attention.
[applause]
- Marc DeSouza, everyone.
Whoo!
Do you consider yourself a magical historian?
- I do. I do.
I've been studying the history of magic for many, many years.
In fact, I do a show called
"The History of Magic Through Performance,"
which I do 10 historically significant tricks.
And this is one of them.
- Why is it important to study the history?
- If you study the history, you learn these things,
and it gives you a much better footing
in creating your own magic for modern day use.
- What is it about magic for you that makes it so timeless?
- Boy, that's a good question.
You know, I think it's the feeling
that people get from it.
That's, you know, very different than seeing a movie,
or seeing a play, or reading a book.
It's something that's happening right before your eyes
that justifies the laws of nature.
It's impossible.
And it's happening right here.
- OK, Marc, here we go.
Let's see if you go down in "Fool Us" history as a Fooler.
- All right. - Boys, are you ready?
- I think we are. Hey, Marc, how you doing?
Boy, great act.
You know, I--
Teller will know one of my obsessions is the die box.
I love it more than anything.
I've been trying to find an angle on it
for years, and years, and years.
I got all sorts of notes.
And you found a way to turn it into the multiplying dice,
which is really, really wonderful.
Before we get into that kind of stuff,
I mean, obviously, great presentation, all of that.
How is that a tea box?
How would you put tea in that thing?
- I have absolutely no idea. - Yeah, no idea.
- But I had to come with an excuse for the thing.
- Yeah, they always say this is a tea box.
If you put tea in the damn thing,
it would just fall off the front of it
as soon as you open it.
- Unless there's a die in it, then it won't go in, anyway.
- Then you can't get the tea in.
Anyway, what we loved about it is how
you justify the sucker gag.
I'd never seen anybody justify it.
With that, it really makes it nice.
And it doesn't mean you have to prod people
into yelling stuff out. - Right.
- You're just going to explain it right there.
But I'll tell you, you talked about your Victorian props,
but I'll also tell you that that box is much too clever
to have been around in Victorian times
and the way our eyes just deceive us
into seeing things that aren't as fully there
as we first thought.
And we love the routine.
I love that the die box got a good reaction
from the audience.
And we don't think you fooled us.
[audience groans]
- What do you think, Marc?
- I think they got me. - They got you.
Oh, my goodness.
Well, you come back and see us again.
That was amazing. Thank you so much.
- Thank you, Brooke. Thank you.

- Hypnosis kind of found me.
There wasn't a huge arts community in Iowa.
But I saw a hypnosis show, and I thought, you know what?
If all I had to do was go "sleep,"
and then the volunteers did fun crazy stuff
and made a great show, I bet I could do that.
It was a little bit more than that.
But before long, I was headlining my own show
on the Las Vegas strip.
There's a lot of misconceptions about hypnosis,
but probably the biggest one is that it's mind control.
But really, it's quite the opposite.
When you're in a trance state, your fears don't get
in the way of your imagination.
And that's a super power.
Just by being part of the Las Vegas entertainment community,
I got introduced to magic.
And even though hypnosis and magic are very different,
I like magic just as much.
Penn, Teller, I'm going to use my experience
as a hypnotist, mentalist, and magician to try to fool you.
[cheers and applause]
- Give it up for the magic of AnnaRose.
- When I was a kid in Iowa, I dreamed of growing up
to be one of two things.
My plan A was to be Nancy Drew,
and my backup plan was to be a Spice Girl.
Now, my family said I needed to be more realistic.
So I moved to Vegas, became a magician.
And now, I'm going to try to fool Penn and Teller.
[applause] - Yeah.
[mellow music playing]
- Penn, I want you to think of any card,
not the queen of hearts or the ace of spades,
since we, as magicians, know that those
are the most common, but any other card.
Do you have it? - Yes.
- OK. Now, how amazing would it be if I predicted your card
that you're thinking of by drawing it
before I even walked out on stage?
Yeah? - Very impressed.
- Well, Penn,
I did draw your card,
but I drew the rest of them, too.
[laughter]
For all you muggles, this is the oldest gag in magic.
But I always thought that it would be so cool
if you could do it with real playing cards.
All of the cards are facing one direction except for one.
Penn, on the count of three,
you're going to yell your card out loud.
- I will.
- 1, 2...
three of clubs. - Three of diamonds.
- What? - Three of diamonds.
- The three of diamonds?
- Yeah.
- Well, if this was right, that would have fooled all of us.
But don't worry.
In the slim chance you did not pick the three of clubs,
I do have a deck of cards with only your card
reversed in it with me on stage.
As far as which one it's in, I have no idea,
which is why I need a little bit of help
from the lovely Brooke Burke.
[applause]
- All right.
All right, let's get this right.
- Brooke. - Let's get this right.
It's us against the boys right now.
- True that.
Brooke, if you were to guess how many cards are in here,
what would you say?
- [puffing]
2,000. - Close.
There's 2,704, which means there are 52 decks of cards.
And the reason for that is like the deck you just saw,
I reversed a different card in each deck
so that all of the cards are accounted for.
As far as which deck has Penn's card reversed,
that's why you're here. - OK.
- First, you have to give it a good shuffle.
It's not that hard.
Shuffle them like this. - OK.
- Your turn. You're strong.
- Ugh.
- But like a Spice Girl, you know, with some flair,
you know?
- Oh, OK, OK. - OK?
All right, all right.
- It would have been... - Perfect. True that.
Reach in, select one deck.
- OK. Any deck?
- Yep. - OK.
- Is that the one you want? - Yes.
- The one you really, really want?
- Yes. [laughter]
Is it the one you want me to want?
[giggles] - Yes. Perfect.
- Now, Penn, what was your card again?
- Three of diamonds. - The three of diamonds.
Now, how amazing would it be
if in the deck that Brooke selected,
the single card reversed
was...
[suspenseful music]
The three of diamonds?

- Now, rehearsing that was rough,
so I'm glad it went smooth.
Brooke's practically a Spice Girl

reversed, she can't take all the credit because remember,
I did predict it.
But really, let me prove it to you.

I knew from the beginning
that you weren't going to pick the three of clubs.
That's too obvious.
But your card--
Brooke, you can step over here.
The three of diamonds,
unlike the three of clubs,
won't erase.
Brooke, help me erase the rest
because Penn's card is the only one
that I drew in permanent marker.

AnnaRose, everyone.
Man, that shocks.
Wow.
How do you go about deciding what kind of an act
you're going to perform for these two guys?

I'm flustered right now. You're awesome.
Thank you. And I like your dress.
- You've been great. My pleasure.
I like your dress. - Thank you.
What would you do if you weren't a magician?
- If I was not a magician, I would probably
have an antique store, or I'd probably be
a college professor. - OK.
Well, what would you teach?
- I like psychology, philosophy, stuff like that.
- How important is the intellectual part of magic?
- It's really fun.
It's mental gymnastics.
I think that's exciting.
That's what human beings are meant to do is to create.
- All right, it's time to put Penn and Teller on the spot.
Are you ready?
Penn and Teller?
- Whoa, AnnaRose, really, really nice.
You did something I don't think anyone's
ever done on this show, which is
you snuck in code words to your own routine
to explain how it was done, which was just brilliant.
- It was smart.
- And that trick, which you do for a fact
was not going to fool us, was a miracle to everyone else.
And you have to point that out.
Even though you gave us the code words,
that is an absolute miracle.
And the part of it that is brilliant--
did you invent that yourself?
- I did. - Wow.
That's really, really good.
[applause] That's really good.
And you know, the whole routine
is just great, just terrific from beginning to end.
And you even mentioned the Spice Girls.
You didn't mention my favorite Spice Girl,
who was Sticky Spice.
Wasn't that one of them? I don't know.
I can't even--I don't really know the Spice Girls.
I was just lying.
But we love the routine.
And I think we might have snuck something in there,
our own code words, that let you know
that we know that maybe you didn't fool us.
But what do you think, AnnaRose?
- Does all that blah, blah, blah make sense to you?
- Sounds about right.

- Maybe he didn't expect he can take the cube.
- So what's your feeling in this moment?
Do you think you fooled them?
- I think I fool a lot of magicians with this,
then I hope. [chuckles]
- You must be the only magician in the world
who does this trick.
- Yes. Nobody do that.
This is my own creation. - OK.
And do you always have the cube on your fingernail?
You and Penn have something in common.
- Yes. [laughs]
It's a tribute. [chuckles]
- All right, Willy, let's see if your cube magic
is good enough to earn a trophy.
Penn and Teller?
- Oh, Willy, you know,
doing big stage illusions
is one of the hardest things to do in magic.
And doing big stage illusions small seems even harder.
The idea of doing this with a cube
is just, just brilliant and so, so cute.
And to bring our attention down that small is really great.
But it's the same problem with big stage illusions,
which is you tend to think, well, if I could really
monkey around with the props,
it probably wouldn't fool me.
You know, the zigzag, the last thing you did--
we could probably get some sort of idea of it
with just brilliant craftsmanship,
but we'd probably figure out something.
The metamorphosis looked beautiful.
It was startling.
It was, I think, more amazing
than done full size with people.
But I don't want to talk about those.
The levitation--
we can see everything there.
It's just there.
And we had, like, five ideas.
And then one by one, they kind of fell away,
or at least four of them fell away.
And we had one left for the way you could have done that.
And we talked about that and then realized,
[bleep], we were wrong about that, too.
You fooled us.
[cheers and applause]
- Well done. Congratulations.
Oh, I don't know where they were going with that.
[laughs] Wow, wow.
[cheers and applause]
Oh, congratulations. - Thank you.
- Willy Monroe, everyone.
Well done. Thank you so much.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you.
Wow.
We're calling a quick timeout,
but we'll get right back to the action
when "Fool Us" returns.

[cheers and applause]
- And welcome back to "Fool Us."
It's time for tonight's finale.
Joined by a member of our studio audience
are the two and only, Penn and Teller.
[cheers and applause]
- Yeah, you know, you just came up from the audience, right?
And what is your name, our newest friend?
- Amy. - Amy.
Hello, Amy. I'm Penn.
This is Teller.
And Teller has got a ton of money.
Teller is made of money.
He's got a bunch of money there.
He's got $50s, $20s, $10s, $5s, $1s.
They're all there.
Don't take it all, but take a bunch of it.
Grab it. Grab a handful of that money.
Yeah, yeah, just hold it so no one can see, no one can see.
Cover it right up.
Make sure that no one can see how much money you have.
Now, you have no idea how much money you have, right?
- Yes.
- I mean, you could have $14, or you could have $103.
There were $50s in there.
Or you could have $3 because there were singles in there.
You have no idea. It was all mixed up.
You just grabbed it.
Now, it's your money. - OK.
- And I didn't tell you that in advance
because then you would have fought me
and taken the whole amount.
But, Amy, you've got an amount of money.
It's behind your back.
You didn't see what it was when you took it.
I didn't see what it was.
No one knows how much money you have.
We're going to focus on trying to guess
what amount of money that is--
- Pizza! Who ordered the pizza?
Somebody ordered a pizza.
- No one ordered-- no one ordered a pizza.
- Anybody order a pizza?
- We're recording a television program.
- Somebody ordered a pizza. - No.
Wait a minute.
Is it Piff the Magic Dragon, or Mac,
or Hondro because they might-- they would do a practical joke.
No, there's no-- what are you doing?
Who invited you on stage?
There's no pizza.
Oh, OK. We'll take the pizza.
Thank you so much.
Now, you run along and pedal your pizzas, OK?
But just--go.
- I'd like to get paid.
- [chuckles] We're on stage.
I don't have any money. Teller doesn't have--

Amy, you just took a bunch of money
and no idea how much it was. Let's look how much this is.
Look at this receipt here. It's from the--come in here.
It's $42-- $42?
What is this, a cocaine pizza?
$42.
But, of course, it's all broken down.
You see the subtotal, $33.90.
Then you've got delivery. $5 for delivery?
- Come on. I had to walk through the casino.
- $5 for delivery.
Sales tax--tax is theft--
$3.10.
That's $42 total.
- Mm-hmm.
- Amy, you grabbed a bunch of money.
You have no idea how much you grabbed.
What you got there, Amy? Pull it up there.
- All righty.
- Count it right here, would you, please?
There's $10,
$15, $16.
Makes it hard now. - I know.
- $21, $22,
$32, $42.
You grabbed an amount of money exactly $42.
There you go. Go pedal your pi--oh, OK.
- Thank you.
- Boy, that's--that's strange, isn't it, Amy?
You don't even order it. They just bring it to you.
Then usually, you pick what you want on the pizza, right?
And then you call them up.
But here's the menu right here.
This is Nevada Pie Co. - Mm-hmm.
- They got a bunch of different kinds of pizzas.
They got a Bugsy's, Rudy Special,
Pyco Pie-- I don't know what that is--
all different kinds of pizzas there.
Which one of those would you have, Amy?
- Rudy Special.
- The Rudy Special!
I don't know what that is.
But the Rudy Special--
can you find that here?
Where's the Rudy--oh, there it is right there.
What does the Rudy Special have on it?
- Cheese, pepperoni, green peppers, and tomatoes.
- But the one above that is the Pizza Bianca.
I think that means white, doesn't it?
So that's pesto-based white pizza.
I was right about that.
And the New York is Parmesan, ground beef--
I know before I was vegan, I would have got ground beef.
Now, I would have gotten the Totally Vegan,
which is vegan white cheddar, olives, and mushrooms.
But you chose the Rudy Special. - Mm-hmm.
- Cheese, pepperoni, green peppers, and tomatoes.
Now, let's see what's on this pizza.
[cheers and applause]
If you could just see if it's truly, Amy,
that that is tomato, pepperoni, green peppers.
Is that exactly what you ordered?
- It is.
- Exactly what you ordered right there.
And there is your receipt. There's the menu.
There's the pizza. Enjoy that, Amy.
- Thank you. - Right back to your seat.
That's Amy with the pizza!
[cheers and applause]
- We've got to break up this pizza party.
But the fun will continue on the next episode
of "Penn & Teller: Fool Us."
Good night, everyone, from Las Vegas.
