Penn & Teller's Fool Us is now in its 8th season since it started more than ten years ago in 2011. Over that time there have been some great performances of card magic.
Which performances of card magic would you consider to be some of the very best that have appeared on the show so far? |

Indeed Boris Wild.
Also, off the top of my head, so maybe more memorable than best: Javi Benitez Shawn Farquhar Ben Earl David Parr |

Joshua Jay. I thought that young woman who did the cardistry with her trick was good

I have a lot of favourites, too many to mention. However, I often prefer acts that do not fool Penn & Teller (I'm not sure why). Michael Vincent's sublime performance from the pilot series is still one of the best. He does some difficult sleight of hand right under the noses of Penn and Teller in his signature elegant style; even for a pro like Mike, that's a lot of pressure!

Good afternoon friends. This is such a hard question. There are so many talented magicians that are on this show. There are some that do not fool Penn and Teller however are still just great pieces of magic. If I was put into a corner I would have to agree with Boris Wild and Paul Gertner. It is still just hard. So many talented magicians on the show. I really liked the routines by Jeki Yoo and Jon Armstrong too.

I really liked unshuffled. It may have been around for awhile however it was one of the most amazing card trick performances I have ever seen. I think anything Paul Gertner gets his hands on is going to be a great performance.
There is another piece by Joshua Jay I really enjoyed too. It was his out of sight piece. I do admit the reason I liked that one so much is, I read Josh's book and he gives back story about what happened during that performance that was not shown. The back story makes it better. I really enjoyed his book. He shares some great stuff. |

I think it's safe to say that as of about 2 weeks ago, Dani DaOrtiz has made it onto the 'top card acts on Fool Us' list for quite a few people.
