Penn & Teller Fool Us- Danny Cole Defies Gravity.

My Fool's experience was great. The first time I was thrilled with the performance. It's actually real magic. The inventor of the magic is often hidden behind the scene. Someone you never see. But being the performer and the creator means I'm out there doing both. When I'm creating a magic trick, there's a lot of fear and doubt because of all the time investment. But in the end, it's much more rewarding. When I created this trick, it immediately got recognized as my piece in the whole puzzle of magic. The same year that I premiered it, I was voted Stage Magician of the Year. And I'm really thankful for the opportunity to share it. Thank you so much. So when I was here before, when I started, my tie was actually missing. So this time I made sure to have it on before we even started. I have another one. It's in here. See if I can find it. That looks like the one. Okay, let me fix this. I think I know what to do. How have you been? Great. Yeah, you're back. You just can't stand being away. I love it here. I can't believe I got invited back. But yeah, I'm so happy to be here. And so when you come up with an idea, like talk me through that. Okay, you wake up in the middle of night. That's how I picture your ideas coming to you. Just go with me on it. And then like, do you draw it out? Do you yourself like build it? Or do you go somewhere and they help you build it? How does it happen? I try to draw it out like a comic book without knowing how it's going to work. Just what I would love it to look like. And then yeah, I got a workshop. And I love building. I got my bandsaw, my drill press, all the stuff in my workshop. And so yeah, I make it myself. Yeah, I love it. Well, let's see if Penn and Teller figured out how your trick was done. Boy, Danny, so nice to have you back. Boy, you always do such beautiful, beautiful stuff. It all looks so, so simple. And it's all so, so, so, so complicated. What's really smart about this is that the subtlety, actually making the moves be less than you can really do them, makes them much more amazing because of the way it dawns on us and the way it comes from another direction. Not he's in an impossible position, but that chair is getting away from him, which is just a really incredible way to put that together. And for those of us who've been in touring magic acts, the antecedent to this was always untourable and also impossible to walk around before and after. Just walking out on stage is perhaps the most amazing thing once we know you're going to do this act. And being able to walk around and be comfortable and just standing there. No idea how much work went into that to get everything. You said you built this yourself, too? Yeah, yeah. Just amazing, amazing. And the flip stick and the manipulation stuff at the top is just wonderful and beautiful and clean. And you've taken something that is an old principle and made it an entirely new thing, but not new enough to fool us, I think. Yeah, you're right on. Yeah, I'm not surprised that you knew exactly what I was doing. Thank you so much for being here, Danny. Every time we talk now. Thank you. Thank you, Danny Cole. Thank you, thank you.
