Is this a real program - where can we see more of people trying to pull the wool over on P&T?

@Sagemind apparently it is, info can be found at:

OK, this looks cool. It's a new series from UK. Are the rest of these candidates good too?

I've tried to avoid watching it as anything on ITV1 is a pile of tosh. Here instead of seeing Penn and Teller perform they judge magic and variety acts?? - <headslap>.

Granted this guy was entertaining but the crux of the show is handled with them looking at a piece of paper to decide if they were fooled? More than lame.

Helluva performance!

People do manage to fool them sometimes and get to go on stage in Vegas. Penn and Teller also sometimes tell everyone how a trick is done. I think that they decide if it's something unique or not. This one was something that they seemed to think was very clever, so they didn't explain it.

They also have Penn and Teller perform a trick at the end of each show. I prefer the shows with just Penn and Teller doing magic, but this series still blows away "The Magicians" on BBC One. That was a terrible magic show with B-list celebrities as magicians/assistants that was aired shortly after the first Fool Us on ITV in January.

Wow, fooling Penn and Teller with a magic trick must be harder than Michael Jackson at a carnival themed bar mitzvah.

I didn't make it half way... I like Penn & Teller, but I call bullshit on them clapping at this tripe.

Am I the only one who thought the crowd sounded like an angry mob when they laughed?

edit: I read the title of another submission, woops.

So let me get this straight, you've avoided watching it intentionally because you think it's crap. You watch one clip, decide that the whole show is exactly like that one clip, and confirm your suspicions that the show is crap.

Dude.

Anyway, the show is good, and i normally hate crap like this.

Wow, a lot of hate for Piff. I thought he was a very good entertainer, and respect for pulling out a trick Penn and Teller haven't seen.

Throw in just enough Wossy that he doesn't get a chance to be too annoying and I found the show quite entertaining all up.

Because just watching one clip for a show like this is probably enough to generalise. This is fucking ITV, not some BBC4 documentary about Goya for cripes sake.

You see ITV1 has a track record of commissioning and broadcasting low grade material. Yet their prime-time major Saturday night hits e.g X-Factor, BGT are obviously way more popular and draw decent audiences. Their current line-up is inferior and has generally been slated. They've even got a UK version of The Marriage Ref. I've not seen that either but I'm happy to believe it's utter shite as well.

Ross looks uncomfortable here, with rather strange facial furniture, and I don't blame him. This job is dangerously reminiscent of what Angus Deayton used to do post-HIGNFY.

I recall P&T back in the day when they had a show and it was great. This derivative talent show is not.

?!?! Does that change anything re: my criticism?

As long as you think ITV comes out with shit and avoid watching everything on ITV because you think everything is shit, you'll always think everything on ITV will be shit including this show which isn't bad.

What do i care, watch what you want! You think it's crap, you haven't seen it, fine, it's crap.

Btw, i think the reason ross did this was because penn and teller have a huge international following, he's not stupid. Except when it comes to facial hair.

I think everyone in this thread needs to turn off their tv and go outside for a bit.

Downton Abbey? Best thing on British TV last year.

Stacey was cute, even though she was almost certainly a plant. However, I kept wanting to see Mister Piffle make a magic piddle on the Piff tacular.

Thanks Fransky lol

What a great entertainer! And when he said "he does one thing" I thought he had trained the dog to piss or shit on command. That woulda been funny.

Fucks sake Danny, stop getting so upset. It's just a tv show. Glad you agree about the hair.

@Deano who's getting upset? But i guess if we're resorting to 4chan techniques, umadbro? Do i win now!?

I for one thought that Piff had excellent stagecraft and humour and would like to see more of him.

(his act, not him per se)
