Penn and Teller: Fool Us. Episode 1

Yesterday saw the first proper episode of Penn And Teller: Fool Us after January's pilot. Three magicians competed to fool The American duo and win a trip to Vegas. How did they fare?

High Jinx-Illusionist Duo

Trick: High Jinx did a trick involving dividing the female member into fifths. It was well presented for that shopworn type of illusion, but it didn't fool Penn and Teller.

John Allen-Danger Magician

Jon performed a very dangerous trick, but one it have seen a thousand times before. 4 bags, which one has the nail in? It was fairly well presented, but unsurprisingly, did not fool Penn and Teller

Graham P.Jolley-Comedy Mentalist

Graham performed two tricks. First, he guessed where host Jonathan Ross had hidden five billiard balls around his person, then did a set of card tricks for Penn and Teller.Just like Benjamin Earl's card sleights in the pilot, Graham's were hard to figure out, and he fooled Penn and Teller to win the trip to Vegas

The episode finished with Penn and Teller performing a trick involving Teller getting out of a Bin liner filled with helium. It was probably the best trick of the day.

Come to this blog next week for more coverage on Penn and Teller: Fool Us
