Making History on Penn and Teller's Fool Us: My Journey to Debunk Fake Psychics on National Television
As a professional magician and mentalist based in New York, I had the unique opportunity to take the stage on Penn and Teller's Fool Us on the CW Network with a mission to debunk fake psychics while also entertaining millions of people watching. I am an advocate for truth and authenticity in the world of magic and mentalism, and I was determined to use my platform on the show to share this message with a national audience.
For those unfamiliar with the show, Fool Us is a magic competition where magicians perform their best tricks in front of the legendary duo Penn and Teller. The goal is to fool the duo, but I took a different approach.. Instead of trying to fool Penn and Teller, I wanted to replicate psychic powers and challenge them to debunk me! Just like I debunk fake psychic powers on social media and TikTok.
My performance was a bold move, and it made history on Fool Us as the first time a magician had come on the show with the intention of being debunked. I performed a series of mentalism tricks that mimicked psychic abilities, and I was overjoyed when Penn and Teller agreed to attempt to expose exactly what I was doing instead of speaking in “code.”
Penn and Teller took on the challenge and worked to debunk my tricks, using their expertise and experience to expose the truth behind my performance. In the end, I was thrilled to see that my message about the importance of truth and authenticity in magic and mentalism had been heard loud and clear.
My appearance on Penn and Teller's Fool Us was a defining moment in my career as a magician and mentalist. It was a chance to showcase my talent on a national stage and spread my message about the dangers of fake psychics. It was always a dream of mine to be on TV, ever since I was just a little kid learning basic card tricks. I am proud to have been a part of such an important moment in the history of the show and grateful for the opportunity to share my message with a wider audience.
If you're a fan of magic, mentalism, or simply looking for a great night of entertainment, I highly recommend checking out Penn and Teller's Fool Us on the CW Network. And who knows, maybe one day you'll see me back on the show, continuing my mission to debunk fake psychics and promote truth and authenticity in the world of magic and mentalism.
