It's an act, and not an original one. They aren't actually pissed.

I disliked that show because they don't explain the trick afterwards for the audience. So inevitably I have to go google the references he makes to figure it out and then after an hour of random videos i end on that weird part of youtube

lol vouch the weird part of youtube, I've always been fascinated by magic so I try to figure them out myself, what they''re doing and when they're doing it their clues at the end just help give it away for me if I cant figure it out

there are different kinds of foolers. the best ones are unique acts they invented where penn and teller truly don't know how it's done. the chicken was a great example.

you have examples where people do deliberate red herrings. penn and teller know 2-3 ways the exact could be done, and they make false moves which suggest it could be any of the 2-3. since penn only has one guess, sometimes this works. i dont like these very much, but i will make an exception for dan harlan since the producers specifically asked him to do that trick, so he tried making it more interesting.

you have examples where the magician perform well known tricks just to promote themselves. really don't care for these.

It would be fairly disrespectful to give out the secrets to the tricks the performers do right there on the show. Would be hard to find people willing to come on the show if they did that.

I love Penn&Teller, those 2 guys are just great and their magic tricks a blast.
Fool Us did bring back magic on TV and i find this great, there are some foolers thats just leaves us without words,
there is also people that come that we know how the trick is done but it is so wonderfull to look at them do it with so much sleight of hand.
incredible show.

i was a bit disapointed when they changed Jonathan Ross to Alyson Hannigan for hosting the show i guess she does a decent job.

i love willow from buffy the vampire slayer. she and spike are my favourite characters, so i know alyson can act well. but tbh she does a terrible job at the improv nature of the show.

her best performance of the whole show was with jean-pierre in the most recent episode. such a day and night difference that i was impressed.
