Penn & Teller: Fool Us (season 9)

{4.5/5} “I want to bring the audience to a place that seems real but where the rules have changed.”

Penn & Teller: Fool Us season 9, aired in 2022-23

Jon Mobley catches a bullet in his teeth that Allison fires from an invisible gun. The Van Hargen Twins from Britain are able to send each other telepathic messages. Axel Adler demonstrates that he has 3 fully functional legs. Chris Canfield, who happens to only have one hand, does some close-up magic with cards. And Dani Daortiz does what is possibly the best card trick ever, stunning everyone.

Helen Coghlan from Australia, a 4-time fooler, returns for the 5th time.

Penn and Teller themselves have great tricks, including one they bought but the instructions are in Spanish.

One episode was titled “Animal Style,” in which each act included an animal.

One magician, Dustin Dean, asked Penn not to use code but to tell him outright how he did his tricks — and he did.

I previously reviewed season 8.
