If you slow down the video at 0.25x speed, you can see that time is like a sponge. You get absorbed into watching the trick.

The best sponge ball routine I’ve ever seen but I can’t get over the fact that he looks and sounds like Adam Sandler playing a part.

That wasn’t just good. Deliberately using a technique they would know, then doing the same effect twice more with 2 new methods, astonishingly good

One of the best routine I've seen on Fool Us or just in general. No convoluted tricks, no constant misdirection with useless props and jokes, just a simple trick well presented that feels like real magic. I loved it.

the routine is awesome. the script and the effect is nowhere else to be seen. but... teller was 73 years when this was filmed.. and watching at his face, even taking into account all he knows about magic, but seeing his face, being able to be surprised once again... priceless. gabriel, you're one of a kind

I love teller's reaction everytime he got fooled 😂

I saw a lot of the moves. No biggie. But then it kept getting a little more complex to the point I couldn't keep up. I, too, hate sponge ball tricks....but I liked this one.

This routine had everything: humor, philosophy, science, primary and secondary colors, and SPONGEBALLS!!!

He kept putting his hand in his pocket but what came out was just some more magic.

Like countless magicians, I performed a sponge ball routine for decades. BUT... NOT anything like this ! This was a thing of beauty and as close to real magic you will see. Just a beautiful routine !

At the minute 6:22 Teller is telling Penn...Outstanding

that's how much they loved the routine.

And so did I... i loved it.

when i heard he said sponge balls, in my mind, i thought, "oh that's a very bad choice!" but i was so wrong! This routine is on an entirely different level. you gave life to the sponge balls again!

If I learned anything from this routine, it's that time is like a sponge

One of the best presentations I've seen. Spongeballs routine explained with the concept of time is just great.

That thing on his head is actually an alien technology antenna that can teleport the balls around.

THIS right here is what the Fool Us Trophy is made for. It's a routine that's absolutely mystifying, and visually and psychologically brilliant. Not just a Fooler, but an act where you can't even begin to guess, and you don't even want to.

What I like about the Fool Us trophy is that it actually means something, they don't give them out to just anyone, P & T are an excellent pair of judges as they are extremely experienced. It's a good competition. I'm so glad this close up magic is making a comeback, for so long the big grand magic was popular but there is nothing to magic that uses stooges and camera tricks.

I definitely saw some of the transfer moves from under the table or below the table, where we couldn't see. But, even so, the routine is difficult to figure out and it is genuinely amazing at times. Even if you see one of those moves I can't explain most of the routine at all. Its very good.
