Hehe, very interesting that you were not just playing the "game" but also the "meta-game" as well (i.e., not just trying to fool the audience, but trying to fool Penn and Teller by using their own knowledge against them). Magic upon magic, as it were ;) I wonder if the reason they gave up so easily is because they not only saw your ruses, but also realized that they were ruses, and thus ran out of ideas for what you were really doing. In any case, congratulations!

Hi, Steven,

I loved your performance! Your showmanship was excellent.

The trick, though, didn't seem that difficult to figure out in a general sense - you seemed to be relying on the fact that a slightly scrambled cube looks not that much different to the untrained eye compared to a well-scrambled cube. And solving a cube and scrambling a cube can both look pretty similar until you get close to finishing it. So is your trick really just based on scrambling and mostly unscrambling a cube while you're talking, with the last few twists being done as part of a sleight-of-hand?

Don't take that the wrong way - I certainly can't do that, and it was a great performance. It definitely shows off your skills with a Rubik's cube!

How many of them are real buildings, and how many of them are just the fronts of fake buildings set up to make those racist jerks think it's the real thing so you can get the drop on them?

Ain't no party like a Robert Mueller party!

I don't have any questions to ask, but I did want to say thanks to you and the rest of your pals at WaPo for continuing to shine a light on the truth.

Also, I heard your interview with Kai Ryssdal yesterday, and I got a kick out of your reverse image searching efforts. Run your search through Tineye if you haven't yet, by the way.

Could you say.... passport for me?

Also, my wife and I always loved your character from Spaceballs. So hilariously over the top, and shows your range when compared to your other roles. Mel Brooks is rumored to be working on Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money, and it'd be great to see you bring that character back. Would you do it if they called you?
