All of these terrific magic acts are different, yet have one important thing in common. They all managed to fool one of the industry’s most recognizable pairs: Penn and Teller. Keep reading.
1. Timon Krause
Born in Germany and trained in New Zeeland, Timon Krause is now based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
However, as the youngest mindreader to ever be awarded the ‘Best European Mentalist’ title, Timon has traveled all over the world with his magic show, dazzling audiences with his interactive magic performances and his great stage charisma.
On “Penn& Teller: Fool Us,” the young magician brought his A-game and became the first German national who managed to fool Penn and Teller on the show. Watch Timon’s entire performance from the show in the video below.
2. Vitaly Beckman
An ingenious illusionist born in Israel, now living in Vancouver, Vitaly Beckman is known for his surprising magic tricks, which range from making photographs and paintings come to life to erasing audience members from their own driver’s licenses and pictures.
The incredibly talented magician also managed to fool Penn and Teller with his humor and innovative magic acts – proving once more than his style as an illusionist is genuinely one-of-a-kind.
Check out his routine from the show in the video below and get ready to be blown away.
3. Mahdi Gilbert
Mahdi Gilbert is a Canadian professional sleight of hand card magician, a motivational speaker, and an award-winning artist.
Fans from all over the world appreciate him not only for his incredible talent and skill but also for his perseverance, determination, and positive attitude. Born without hands and feet, Mahdi had to invent pretty much all of the techniques he uses in his mind-boggling illusions.
His way of doing magic is one you won’t be able to find in any traditional books which teach magic, and on “Penn& Teller: Fool Us,” Mahdi used that in his favor to fool the two judges.
