Although his card trick segment of the performance fooled Penn and Teller initially, the pair seemed to figure it out and were therefore “not fooled” by Piff’s own admission on stage. Penn subsequently revealed the method they gave on air was “kinda sorta wrong” and Piff just played along. The duo rated the act their favourite of the season, and Piff “a stunningly good magician”. The routine was subsequently voted onto Channel 5’s TV’s 50 Greatest Magic Tricks. The next year, his routine was plagiarised by a Ukrainian magician on the Russian TV3 show Surprise Me! (Russian: Удиви меня!) .
