Synopsis

Penn & Teller: Fool Us (2011), Season 1 is the comedy magic show you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes where the duo simply sit in the audience and try to catch the trick.

This is the original British run, hosted by Jonathan Ross. The deal never changes: baffle Penn and Teller and you earn a slot in their Las Vegas stage show. Across the eight episodes you get world card champion Shawn Farquhar fooling Penn at point-blank range, comic Piff the Magic Dragon, French inventor Mathieu Bich, and a fifteen-year-old with steady nerves. Shorter and more intimate than the seasons that follow, it leans on close-up sleight rather than big-stage spectacle. Stream Penn & Teller: Fool Us Season 1 online on iFILM.
