So Penn & Teller: Fool Us is a pretty great magic competition show judge by...well, the famous magician duo Penn & Teller. For those of you who don’t know, in the show, magicians from all over the world perform in front of Penn & Teller with a sole objective: to “fool” them, to perform a trick that they can’t figure out the secret behind. If they manage to fool them (if they can’t figure out how the trick was done), then they earn a performance slot in their famous Las Vegas show. The show itself is a lot of fun, and it’s really cool to watch a variety of different styles of magic being performed in one series.

The fifth season just wrapped up, and, as I fear this may be its last, I decided to go back and marathon the show to watch all of the performances, and decide which performances were too mediocre for the P&T stage, and which ones came from performers who deserve to be at the same level of fame as the titular duo.

So, here, I’m gonna talk about the performers on each individual episode as I watch them. At the end I’ll probably do a final rankings list from best to worst. If anyone else has thoughts on the season/series as a whole, feel free to say so as well!
