PENN & TELLER: FOOL US, which premieres on Friday, October 1 @ 8PM ET/PT and available to stream free the next day on The CW App, is a one-hour competition series celebrating magic and featuring the legendary duo Penn & Teller. On each episode of PENN & TELLER: FOOL US, aspiring magicians are invited to perform their best trick to try and fool the world-famous team of Penn & Teller. Anyone who succeeds wins the right to perform with Penn & Teller in their celebrated show at the Rio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

The remote studio audience and the TV audience watch along with Penn & Teller as they try to figure out the secrets. Penn & Teller see the trick only once and have to immediately try to work it out. The remote studio audience knows there are no camera tricks, secret edits or helpful camera cuts. This is all real magic. PENN & TELLER: FOOL US, hosted by actress Alyson Hannigan (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” “How I Met Your Mother“), is created and executive produced by Penn Jillette, Teller, Peter Adam Golden (“Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” “Penn & Teller: BS“), Andrew Golder (“Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” “Solitary“) and Lincoln Hiatt (“Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” “Solitary“), in association with 1/17 PRODUCTIONS and September Films (part of DCD Media).
