The best part of the trick's preamble is that Penn describes the handkerchief as being folded in such a way as to make 12 sections when it's 16, which _completely_ reinforces the point about eyewitnesses being unreliable in a natural, obvious way. "I know what I saw" is quite possibly the most common lie people tell. That makes the trick even better for me. All of it, the story, it's all very well done, even if Penn put the lid on it very firmly.

Although I don't think the magic itself was too mindblowing (I thought I saw how it was done, roughly), I didn't know where the story was going and I think this was one of my favorite presentations. Felt almost like a movie scene or something, great simple plot with no holes, just loved it.

Excellent presentation. The courtroom scenario with the evidence was very engaging. And whatever was done (obviously P&T know, and the clues they dropped meant something, just not to me) was very smooth and fit in with the patter seamlessly. A very good routine.

As nobody yet has offered their idea on how you did it I'll start the ball rolling with my idea that in the lid were the other handkerchiefs already prepared and each time you put the lid back on the inside top would drop thus enabling you to take out the next handkerchief, and so on. The depth of the inside of the lid kept changing. The Court setting was such a smart way to present this trick.

The story element was endearing and engaging, and I'll be honest, the simplicity of the trick is actually what made it so powerful for me. Whatever's going on, however sophisticated it might be, all that I witnessed is something go away, not have any place to go, and magically turn into something different. I am so completely curious what the explanation could even be because the trick edifies itself by appearing so low-key that what I am seeing can't be possible. Except it is! Elegant.

@@Cre8tive81 The aim of the show is to deceive. It is not at all a presentation of new tricks that still have the same principle, but a presentation of old tricks in which several fake switches are offered. Penn and Teller's job is to find out which switch was used for the first time. The backstage judge will then confirm or deny whether Penn and Teller made the correct right switch. The "blink" referred to the lid of the box that offered the fake switch. If Penn and Teller had marked the lid of the box as an aid in their code speech, the magician would have won the trophy.
