Some tricks become even better, once you know how they're done. Kostya Kimlat's first fooler was mindblowing.

@@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 KZfaq addicts.

Search for the appearance of Shawn Farquhar in season 1. You'll be blown away! ;-)

@@DaveChimny That was great, thanks!

My former boss looks exactly like him too.

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!

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.
