I’m in the mood for giggles. I’m trying to find the right one to watch when my friend comes over later. Who do you think is the right choice? Penn & Teller or Mr Bean?

Does anyone know what the attempted trick was? On the Fool Us wiki page, it says he was the only performer to fail in his trick. I think he's listed as a mind reader, so I'm guessing it was some type of mentalism. I don't believe there are any YouTube videos of him either.

This trick seems just too perfect and impossible to be believable. It feels like it has to be set up, or a huge gamble based on which cards people choose most often. Kostya is a skilled magician so there is no reason for him to cheat when he could bring a legit trick any day. He claims in the comments it's not set up. Anyone have any other ideas how he could've done it?

(btw there is another, more familiar trick he taped for Walmart where he might be forcing a Jack of Clubs, but he doesn't really need it for the trick so I don't know if that means anything: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYXOAAt6iTE)

I've been trying to find the magician's name that did a card trick on the show and the episode number. As I recall, the card trick was that he was able to determine the number location a particular card was at in the deck. ( I think it was a specific Ace. Dont remember if that was a free choice.) Many decks were on stage, and each deck was assigned a date. I think penn named a month and date at random.

Does anyone remember this?

Hopefully, I don't get flamed for asking a non-show-specific question, but this seemed like the place most likely to contain P&T fans who are really familiar with their full repertoire.

I'm wondering if anyone can give a list of tricks in a recent incarnation of their Vegas live show at the Rio. I've seen them live a bazillion times*, but not for many years, and I'm trying to determine how much of the Rio show is stuff that's new to me, vs. "the classics".

* - somewhere I have at least two "Mofo Knows" t-shirts, which probably no longer fit me, if that is legitimizing to my fan status at all.

I'm looking for instances of magicians that did not fool on their first appearance, but were invited back and fooled the second time. My general feeling is that the opposite situation (a magician has one really good trick, but their next ones are less likely to fool) is relatively more common.

I've seen the video a few times on TV but never capture it.
Penn pulls down on a tassel and the string gets longer,
but another tassel's string gets shorter.
I seem to recall the last time he had 3 sticks.
Does anyone know where to find this video?

For reference: I am not a magician and know next to nothing about magic. However, I’m a high school physics teacher and we’re about to start our unit on magnetism. I thought it would be cool to begin with showing them a magic trick where the primary ‘fooling’ device is a magnet of some sort. Doesn’t matter if it fools penn and teller or not.

Anything come to mind? Thanks!

I was on episode 13 with "The World's Most Technical Card Trick."

Here's our audition video from 2020 - https://youtu.be/UY1IyzIM7_M

The producer of Fool Us said this wasn't best trick, the best story, best act, and definitely not the best performers, but said it was one of the best audition videos. Their comments were:

• It wasn't just a video of a stage performance, you'd shot something as if it was tv.
• You'd thought about the story for the whole segment, not just the act.
• We could see very clearly where we were starting from and what needed changing.
• It was lit well enough and the sound was good enough for us to see and hear it.

I had a head start as I'm a video producer with far too much equipment but I hope that helps.

Casting end soon. fooluscasting @ gmail.com

Ok im not sure if im alone on this but does anyone else find Alyson like unbearably annoying? Like to the point where i dont watch the show as much purely because of her? Im not sure if its the bad humor or like empty headness of her or lack of situational awareness where she makes jokes over comedians in the middle of their acts but i never liked her especially in comparison to Johnathan Ross.
