Penn And Teller: Fool Us- Episode 4

Today's episode featured the series' youngest magician,its first solo female magician, and a performer previously seen in January's pilot. But did any of these manage to fool Penn and Teller?

DANIEL KRAMER- Comedy Magician


Daniel is only 15, but had excellent stage presence and a strong patter. He did the Six-card repeat, which doesn't fool many magicians (Some magic books teach you how to do it), and a twisted arm trick, both of which were funny and well presented. He didn't fool Penn and Teller, but the two noted that he did the magic better than they did at his age

ROMANY- "Burlesque" Illusionist


Romany did a trick that I have seen before, but did it well. She had Johnathan Ross (Still the perfect patsy!) Tie up her hands, and the two climbed into a sack. It was lifted over them both, and Johnathan's suit passed through Romany's restraints onto her body. She didn't fool Penn and Teller, who noted the similarity of the restraints to those seen in a spirit cabinet trick, but they praised the presentation

ALAN ROMSON- Close up Magician


Alan had Johnathan and a female volunteer stand face to face with their hands wide open. He put a coin on each hand, then a card on top of the coins, then made them teleport to a single hand. The trick didn't fool Penn AND Teller, but Penn told Alan that he himself had been fooled by it

RICHARD BELLARS- Mentalist Magician


Having failed to fool Penn and Teller in the pilot, Bellars returned with a considerably more elaborate trick. He invited Penn and Teller to play three games: Darts, Countdown and Paper-Scissors-Rock. He then revealed that he had predictions of every result in these games, correct to the details, in his foot, where they had been since the beginning. With this trick, Richard became only the third magician in the regular series to fool Penn and Teller and win a trip to Vegas

Penn and Teller then finished the show with another trick of their own. Teller's head was encased in concrete above a board on his shoulders. Penn made a volunteer's glasses vanish, then cracked the cement block to reveal the glasses on the board on Teller's board. It was another impressive trick to conclude another impressive episode
