A quote by Penn that I like: "The only secret of magic is that I'm willing to work harder on it than you think it's worth."
Unbelievable that this show has been running for 12 years now. Awesome stuff!
One of my most favourite shows, I love the tenderness Penn & Teller extend to all the magicians.
I love the positivity and genunine appreciation that flows out of P&T. It's great to see him on stage encouraging new and lifelong comedians and it's great here to see him display the same attitude toward magic and life in general. What fantastic standards of the craft and, indeed, of humanity.
What a great interview! Those were exactly the sort of questions I wanted to hear as a fan of Penn & Teller and Fool Us.
Penn is such a humble man who loves what he is doing and has a passion to inspire others. Absolutely no ego whatsoever.
I still love the show after all these years. It‘s such an entertaining format and Penn and Teller still seem to genuinely enjoy it. It somehow doesn’t get old. Greetings from Germany.
Even if you know how the trick is done you can still appreciate the skill like watching a talented musician perform
Some tricks become even better, once you know how they're done. Kostya Kimlat's first fooler was mindblowing.
Fool us is a great show❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉
The hosts were amazing! Watching as a magician, I thought they were amazing questions and loved the way the conversation flowed. So so good!
Legendary Penn. A lot of judges on talent shows can't judge the true meaning of magic because they don't perform it which is why fool is is so much better to watch because those two know their magic.
Hoping the title wasn't bait but boo it was
@@pepwaverley2185 What? He doesn't have to share any specific secrets, we just wanted to know what tricks have stumped him in general. Like the title says.
@@dontknow3949 And not a single trick was mentioned. Only the name of a duo that tricked them.
@@dontknow3949 Exactly - Nobody expected Penn to tip any methods just name the tricks that stumped them good.
I agree. "Penn Jillette on getting fooled" would have been accurate, just as goon IMO, and might not have been clicked on by the three most brainless TH-cam addicts.
I just discovered this show through a few TH-cam clips that popped up in my feed. I'd heard of it, but never bothered watching it. Penn & Teller deserve so much credit. It's a delight to watch. Even when they aren't fooled, they're so damn positive and supportive and, as Penn said, kind that it just leaves you with a great feeling. So lovely that they're so encouraging of these burgeoning talents.
Search for the appearance of Shawn Farquhar in season 1. You'll be blown away! ;-)
@@DaveChimny That was great, thanks!
Penn is such a professional.
Like most anyone who goes to one of their shows, I got to meet him in person and I told him that I adored Fool Us because I thought, going into it, that them explaining everything with their guesses would make tricks less magical to watch, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it made it more magical; after even just a season of episodes you've seen so much of the same basic moves that you get a kind of comfort like you know the basics/mechanics of most types of tricks, so that means if you know a little bit and people can still fool you, they must have done a good job!
Clickbaity untrue misleading title ? No thumb up from me that you would otherwise get.
a legend! don't forget to watch Penn and Teller fool us. magic's cool

the banter at the end made me want to disappear, can Penn help me out with that?
Hi I've just watched your stealth video. I thought I would mention the great deal that's available in the beach front restaurant and bar where I live on Calvia beach.Its called KARIBU located at the Palmanova end of the beach, which has been recently renovated and featured drinks great food and a pool and offers free poolside sun beds as long as customers buy a drink. Great deal.
No he didn't
so he's not going to DO any tricks?
c'mon ...
🥴
Ugh, you had to bring up race.
So?
@@LQFamilyTalking about things brings change. But I guess you want everything to stay the same 😢😢 it’s not about race it’s about innovation!
He grew up in a majority white country, and he’s lamenting that most magicians he meets are white. Shocker!
As a magician, I have to wonder why I should care if I can fool Penn and Teller; I think it is only important that I fool a lay audience. Of course it's more difficult to deceive other magicians - regardless of whether they are Penn and Teller. By emphasizing the "fooling" aspect of a performance, they diminish its magical aspects and reduce it to a puzzle. The show has been great for THEM, of course, but I consider them just slightly better than the masked magician; They are exposers!
Penn and Teller are icons I love and respect despite our possible political differences, but if you think every "fooler" actually fooled them i dissagree.. Ive seen at least four that were ridicously easy to figure out. They both have incredible bills to pay and the show is their BUSINESS that provides the income that keeps that happening. EVERY appearance and interview is projected through that lens.. Bassically every time they're on camera for public consumtion it's an ad promoting what they sell... Love them, but just remember, you dont know them and public consumption stuff is really about as trustworthy as an ad for a product... I say this with all due respect..
Sometimes what you might think is easy isn't as easy as you thought, if you know magic.
I don't completely disagree, after all showbiz is showbiz. However, when tricks seem easy there may be a couple of different ways to do them and it's likely P&T guess one way and they are wrong. For example you do a trick and make it seem like you did it the hard way but actually did it the easy way, they guess you did it the hard way, you win.
@@oliverhughes610 I agree with you completely, if there's anything about magic its that nothing is what it seems and in the best way possible. I love magic always have always will. What I said came across way more trolling and aggressive than I meant, still mean it, but not dissing them for being businessmen.. I'm 55 and they have been a beloved staple of magic and magical entertainment as far back as I can remember it seems so I truly meant also when I said with all due respect,, more than I can express.. I'm just hating seeing authenticity die in the name of brand maintenance.. I was in the entertainment business for 30 years and I understand the facade we keep up.. Any one of us can tell horror stories about the industry not necessarily the entertainers themselves though there are plenty of those also.. I was a musician and what happened there is a travesty, we were all hurt and it is what it is today.. Doesn't matter if its magic or music, acting or modeling, sports figure or youtuber, its everywhere now.. Just something I'm going through right now.. Nothing personal towards Mr Gillette, as far as celebrities go he's pretty honest.. BUT.. If you or I were his personal friend we would know things about his obligations that he maintains while holding his nose so to speak.. As far as thinking I figured it out but didn't, that could be true but I went down the rabbit hole for a few years and learned an admittedly very little about the greats and those who modified and utilized and I know that I know...and if I know Penn and Teller knew.. Whatever though, wasn't about them, its what's happening in general.. Like I said just something I'm going through.. Anyways, just wanted to take a minute to agree with you and let you know where I'm coming from might have came out wrong.. Cheers
@@Hotmedal Yep, right with you on that. No harm in making a living doing what you love, especially when you innovate and make it your own AND manage to pull it off. Love the show and the spirit of keeping the art alive and all that goes with it. Not criticizing the artist because I know how he did it, and not criticising Mr. Jillette, just an observation..
They have specific rules that are upheld by a judge that both knows how the trick is done and what Penn and Teller are saying to each other when they're figuring it out. They don't just give trophies away.
Also the best way to fool them is with misdirection that leads them in the opposite direction of the sometimes very obvious answer when seen on camera. That's why a lot of "obvious" acts fool them. They still work very hard to audition and to make it to Las Vegas where they only get one chance to perform. Sometimes they mess up, sometimes they get extremely lucky to where P&T don't notice.
I love P&T FU, so entertaining. I like to decipher Penn's comments as to how they think the tricks are done. Irehman7 helps a lot in filling in the rest. 😁
