at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas,

here's our host, Brooke Burke.

- Welcome to "Fool Us."

Penn and Teller are smart guys,

but they don't know
as much as you think.

Some viewers think
that Penn and Teller

know ahead of time
which magicians

are gonna be on the show.

They don't.

Other people think
they know which tricks

they're gonna see.

They don't.

They see the magician
and the trick

at the same exact moment
as the rest of us.

That requires some bravery and
maybe even a little stupidity.

But let's focus
on the first part,

as we bring out
our legendary duo,

Penn and Teller.

Don't be mad at me, boys.

We're going to have fun tonight.

So speaking of bravery, trying

and a slot in Penn and Teller's
Las Vegas magic show

is this magician right here.

♪ ♪

- I learned magic on
the streets of New York.

I'm talking about the guys
who did the three-card monte.

This was magic in the wild,
expert sleight of hand.

When you're trying
to rip somebody off,

no room for failure.

You can get k*lled.

You had to be perfect.

It was such an education.

These guys were amazing
at what they did.

In my life, I've had money,
and I've had none.

And I came up with
this invention.

It could have made millions,
but in the middle of the deal,

the company went bankrupt.

That was probably
the worst day in my life.

But as life would have it,
I landed a job

as a network
television producer.

Life was great again.

And then, out of nowhere,
my life collapsed.

I got hit by a car, and
my wife found someone else.

And I found myself
a single dad, no money,

with my daughter, nowhere
to go, and living in an RV.

It ain't over until it's over.

This is, like,
my 15th round, you know?

I think the only way for me to
possibly be in the game here

is to go back to my roots.

It's those formative
days of watching

those guys on the street.

I want to bring that street
to Penn and Teller.

[dramatic music]

[cheers and applause]

- Please welcome
magic man Joe Monti.

[applause]

- Wow.

Look at this,
an entire audience to scam.

[laughter]
I mean, to entertain.

Hi.

By the way,
by a show of applause,

how many people here have
ever been to New York City?

[applause]

It's where I'm from.

And how many of you
have heard of that game

or familiar with the game
three-card monte

where they throw
the three cards around?

Cool, cool.

You're in the right place.

Those street scoundrels,
they use sleight of hand,

magicians,
to steal your money, OK?

So tonight,
I want to educate you

on why you should never
play that game.

But there are two people
here right now,

who actually in a Run-DMC video,

a very famous video
called "Tricky,"

they were those
street scoundrels.

And those two brilliant
street scoundrels

are Mr. Penn and Teller
right here.

[applause]

- [laughs]

- So if I may, I'd like
to show you the game,

show you why
you should never play.

[hip-hop music]
And you're a big audience.

So I don't want to use
those little tiny cards.

You can't see them.

So... so I did something
special for you.

Yeah, yeah.

♪ ♪

I got the really big cards.

Can you see that?

Isn't that cool?

I feel actual size now.

[laughter]

Diamonds is the money, 2 and 3
only there to confuse you.

Diamonds... follow
the ace of diamonds.

That's the money card.

It's very simple.

These street scammers
are on the street.

They mix the cards up like this,

like that, and like this.

And then they do something
called the monte move.

I shall show you the monte move.

It's like this.
[clears throat]

[laughter]

Watch the ace.

Hoo, ha.

That was it.

Did you see me
put the ace there?

You did?

No, you see, that's a 2.

See, the ace is over there.

Did I move too fast?

I'm sorry.
I'm from New York.

I talk too fast.
I move too fast.

I'll slow it down.

[low voice]
The ace.

[normal voice]
All right, one more time.

Here we go.

So we mix them like this,

There's a reason why
you're missing it.

So please watch the monte move.

Here we go.

Oh, you know, I'll make...

I'll make it easy.

Is that better?

OK, look, I'll even stick it up
a little bit more.

Look how high that card
is right there.

So watch the ace.

I'm gonna place it right
here in my pants, OK?

Just like that.

OK, did you see me
put the ace there?

You... what do you mean, no?

Look, I really did.

Isn't that cool?

Come on, isn't that great?
I love that.

[applause]

♪ ♪

OK, here's the answer.

I know most of you probably know

because I got three cards.

It's three-card monte.

If I had two cards,
it would be easier.

So see, sometimes instead
of moving one to the bottom,

I move two.

That's called the trouble lift.

If you miss it,
you're in trouble.

[laughter]

So if I've got three cards,
there's no way

that you might know
the exact order of the cards.

So to be fair...

I promised I would be fair...

OK, I'll just use two cards
and make it the two-card monte.

So here we go.

Where's the ace, top or bottom?

- Bottom.

- Yeah, because I didn't
do anything yet, OK?

Put in a monte move like this.

♪ ♪

OK, now watch.

Remember, when I do this,
that's the monte move.

So here we go.

Watch closely.

Hup, hup, hike.

Where's the ace, top or bottom?

No, look, it's not here at all.

Isn't that cool?

No, I mean it.

three-card monte.

There is a... there is a limit

You know that, Joe.
- Mm-hmm.

- And you also know,
which just makes it so gutsy,

that you came out here...

You know that we know a lot

And you also may not know

- I mean, Teller worked

with the best dove magician
in the world,

which was Johnny Thompson,

to learn to do dove productions
with his hands.

But you are doing this stuff
with your feet.

And anyone
who's ever tried to work

with sleight of hand with doves

cannot imagine how hard
that would be with your feet.

And the whole act
just looks beautiful.

We were astounded every single
instant, every part of this.

But astonished is not
the same as fooled.

And although, um,

everything was just
beautiful and perfect,

working with doves,

you tend to have
a pretty good idea

where they come from
and what's being done.

So with kind of a broken heart,

I say you astounded us,

but I don't think you fooled us.

- She says I know
the audience like her,

and Penn and Teller like her,

but she can put in the Chinese
magic and come to this stage.

She felt very, very happy
and very proud.

Thank you.

- Thank you so much.

You didn't fool them, but you
are a winner, no matter what.

We're so lucky to have you.

- By day, I'm a professor

at the Georgia Institute
of Technology.

Mathematicians all know
that mathematics and magic

are often closely related.

For instance,
the math behind cryptography

is very similar to the math
behind perfect shuffles.

Do a perfect shuffle
eight times,

you get back to exactly the
order in which you started.

Is that magic, or is it math?

I guess it's both.

In the classroom,
I like to do magic

that relates to the math
that we're studying

because it's more fun than just

writing equations
on the blackboard.

With super smart students
all around me,

I have to go the extra mile
to make my magic more fooler.

That experience
should come in handy.

Penn, Teller, let's see
if you can crack my code.

[applause]

- Put your hands together
for Professor Matt Baker

and his magical students,
Penn and Teller.

- All right, in just a moment,
you're going to be playing

a game with one of
these packets of M&Ms.

Penn, please choose
whichever packet you like.

Place it right over here.

And we won't be needing
the rest of these.

Now, Penn,
since this is a magic trick,

I need you to make a prediction.

Who do you think is going to
win the game, you or Teller?

- Teller.

- OK.

I like the unexpected
modesty there.

- [laughs]

- And, Teller, you get
to make a prediction as well,

which is what the
margin of victory will be.

Now, I don't want you
to just say a number out loud.

I mean, not that you would.

Instead, we're gonna
do this Vegas style.

So, Teller,
I'd like you to place the die

on whatever number you like,
but keep it hidden

so no one can see
and then cover it up, OK?

And just tap me on the shoulder
once you've done that.

any of your candies?

- Uh, yeah, I'll give...

I'll give Teller four blues.

- OK.
- And I'll take the browns...

- OK.

- In honor of Van Halen.

[laughter]

- So Penn gets those browns.

- Mm-hmm.
- Teller, you get those.

Now, it's time that I explain
the rules of the game.

So each candy that
matches one of your colors

will earn you one point.

blue, green, and yellow.

Now, Penn gave you

Let's see which ones
you're playing for.

So you've got
brown, orange, and red.

So you get...

There's four points for browns,

two oranges, and one red.

So you have 7 points, correct?

Ladies and gentlemen,

did you fool yourselves
doing it?

- We'll go think about it.

- Thank you so much.
- Thank you.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
Matt Baker.

All right, boys, get to work.

So you're a professor
and a magician?

- That's right.

- So do those two
go hand-in-hand?

- I feel like they do.

Mathematics and magic
go together in the sense

that there's a real
analytical side to both.

Hopefully, people are excited

to see me pull out
a trick in class,

and I think they're just
excited that their professor

is a real person
that does things

outside of solving equations.

- Well, let's see if Penn and
Teller have fooled themselves.

- Okay.
- Are we ready?

All right, let's do this, boys.

- Ah, professor, professor.

Boy.
- Hi.

- Ah, sometimes people really
make us work on this show.

It was unequivocally
a great trick.

Usually,
things that are procedural

and have all that stuff
going on get... get dull,

and it really doesn't.

You created
a really beautiful thing.

And the mathematics...

Ah, we've just been
busting our brains on that.

But there was that moment
with the blue M&Ms

where I traded all
the blue M&Ms over to Teller.

And I think that might be
what gave him the edge.

And that die thing,
having Teller have any choice...

When he lifted that thing up,
it's really an electric moment

with the audience.

You just feel them going pow
as that big punch line comes.

And we went through all the math

that we could in our heads.

And we went through the...
The few magic moves

that we think we caught.

And like a professor
of mathematics,

we kind of added it up.

And, boy,
you created a great trick,

but we don't think
you fooled us.

- Matt, do they know
the method to your magic?

- I think so.

They're really smart guys, too.

- Oh.

Well, you're
a smart guy as well.

And we really enjoyed that.
- Thank you.

- Matt Baker, everyone.
Thank you so much.

- Thank you. Thank you, guys.
- Thanks a lot.

- Thank you.

Thank you so much for

So before I show you
what I prepared,

I wanted to share something
that I've been dealing with

before going on stage.

Because it's kind
of funny, right?

It may seem that I am, like,
super shaky and nervous,

but it's not actually me
who's shaking.

I swear, it's not me.

It's the... it's the
coin purse, actually.

Yeah, I don't know exactly why,
but the coin purse

just tends to get
a little bit shaky, you know,

and a little bit nervous
before going on stage.

And it's not easy
to calm it down, you know?

I tried, for example,
with just a quick meditation,

like, OK, purse,
let's just breathe in...

[inhales and exhales]
And out.

But it doesn't work, right?

I also tried, you know,

with, you know,
just massages like this,

but it doesn't seem
to work, either.

So it's kind of spooky.

I even tried with,
you know, just...

Calm down, it's just a TV show!

But it won't listen, you know?

So I was thinking that maybe we
should all together just prove

to the coin purse that
we are all peaceful,

chill, and loving human beings,

and that there's nothing
to be afraid of.

So on the count of three,
we are all together

going to go like this, shh.

OK, that makes sense, guys?

So on the count of three.

I just don't know where that

really, really great.

- Thank you.
- And the tongue is so...

So kind of connected with
witches and the dark arts.

And, ah, it's just...
It was just really creepy

and really good.

And you had really
wonderful sleight of hand.

You also had sleight of brush.

and I'm gonna, as I said,
buy it from you.

You can keep that.
That's mine.

Put that right
in your purse there.

We're gonna use your bill
right here, Katie.

And come right over here.

This is
the Bill in My Head trick.

Right over here.
Teller, this is Katie.

Stand right there between us.

And we're gonna take your bill
and put it here.

But because it's
the Bill in My Head trick,

first, I want to get you
to create my head.

Take that lemon, Katie,
and draw me on that lemon.

Draw my head.

Not my whole body, just my head.

I'll pose for you.

[laughter]

Does my nose look
precisely obscene?

Well, that's OK.
Go ahead.

[upbeat music]

OK, well, that's the mustache.
And that's my mouth?

- Yes.
- There we go.

This is going to be your
Bill in My Head, Katie.

Now, Katie, the bill has serial
numbers in two places, OK?

I want you to be able
to recognize this

as the same bill.

So I'm gonna rip off
one of the serial numbers here

so that you can keep that.

So you see those
two serial numbers match?

Put one right down here.

And then Teller is gonna take
the other part of your bill.

So Teller's got
one part of the bill.

You've got the other part
right here as a receipt.

So you'll be able to tell
that it is the same bill,

the bill that I bought from you,

that nice, clean bill
you had at the beginning.

Now watch him carefully
as he rolls up

your bill into a little tube.

There's no secret hole
in there or anything,

but Teller's made
a little spot there.

Watch this as he pushes the bill

right into my head,

right into the lemon head
right there.

And it's right in there. See?

Now, will you put these
gloves on please, Katie?

You're gonna thank me
for this later, believe me.

And we're gonna put this
right here, the cutting board.

OK, and we'll put your...

Your receipt right there.

And, Katie, take that lemon.

I want you to cut it
very carefully.

Cut it about... almost halfway,
but not quite.

And then just rotate it so you
can pull it apart like that.

OK, Katie?

OK, there you go, Katie.

Yeah, right about... not too far.

Now rotate it a little bit

so you can go
further and further.

It's gonna be two nice halves.

The Bill in My Head trick,

and, oh, you just
cut right through my nose.

That's OK.

The nose is important. Good.

Cut right through there. Yep.

Oh, good, good, good,
and then put the knife down.

And tell me, Katie,
what's inside that lemon?

- Nothing.

- Well, there's lemon.

- Seeds.
- That's weird.

- Well, just squeeze the lemon
onto your gloves please.

There you go.

And you remember
when I started this trick

and a couple of times
since then,

what did I say
the name of this trick was?

- Bill in the Head.

- The Bill in what?
- The head.

- The Bill in My Head, didn't I?

Yeah, yeah, take those tweezers.

And would you put
a little lemon on them too,

just to make them nice?
Squeeze it on there.

Yeah, yeah.

Now, Katie, do you see
something green in my nose?

Do you? You don't?

Way up there?
Look up there.

- Oh, yeah.

- You see something green
up there?

Very carefully...
Because you can k*ll me...

With the tweezers,

just pull that green thing
out of my nose carefully.

[audience shouting, groaning]

- Oh!

- [laughs]

[applause]

- Now, Katie, would you
open that up, please?

♪ ♪

And what is that

that was in my nose,
inside my head, Katie?

What was that?
- The rest of the bill.

- The rest of the bill.

Now, Katie,
take that serial number,

the one you brought up here,

hold it up in that space there.

Make sure that the things
match, just like that.

And then hold it up
to the camera

so they can see that the serial
numbers are exactly the same.

That is the bill
that I took from you

that went inside my head.

Can you see
the two serial numbers?

Can you see your numbers?

They should match there exactly.

Hey, Katie, even though
I bought that bill from you,

you can keep it, Katie.

You take the bill.
Take the bill.

Go right back to your seat.

That's Katie right there,

the classic
Bill in My Head trick.

- Oh, my goodness.

Amazing.

Penn and Teller with a trick
that you should not try at home.

- No, no.

- We're gonna sanitize
everything on stage

and get ready
for the next episode.

We'll see you soon, everyone.
Good night.

- Thanks, Katie.
- Oh, my goodness.

[applause]
