From the Penn & Teller Theater
at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas,
here's our host, Alyson Hannigan!
Welcome to "Fool Us."
Penn and Teller always talk
about how much they love doing this show,
but tonight might change all that.
This show is Penn and Teller's nightmare.
We've got two acts that have already fooled
the boys a record three times,
another act who's fooled them twice
and holds the record for "Fool Us" appearances,
and an old friend of theirs with an ax to grind.
It should be fun for us
but maybe not so much for the stars of our show,
the always magical Penn and Teller!
Every performer tonight knows this show,
knows the stakes, knows Penn and Teller.
Let the games begin with this familiar three-time Fooler.
Hi, I'm Jandro from Spain,
and I've won on "Fool Us" three times.
The first time was very fast.
The second was so fun.
I ended on stage running with Penn and Teller.
For my third one,
I did the biggest effect ever in "Fool Us" history.
Yeah!
So I had three trophies, and my life was perfect.
I wanted to share my happiness,
so I gave one trophy to each member
One for my son,
one for my daughter,
and the last one for my wife.
So now everyone had one.
Well, not everyone.
- Joining us once again from Spain,
a three-time Fooler, here's Jandro!
- Hi, Penn! Hi, Teller!
Hola, amigos!
Welcome to my TV show, "Penn and Teller Get Annoyed."
Today, I'm going to try to do something
no one has ever done.
I'm going to outclass David Copperfield.
Someone had to do it.
In 1983, David Copperfield vanished the Statue of Liberty,
great trick, a little bit dark, but a great trick.
Today, I'm going to vanish two Statues of Liberty.
Here they are.
We are going for quantity, not quality.
But I will vanish them in the middle
of an airplane landing track
in impossible laboratory conditions.
And the statues are going to be held
in midair by a friend of mine.
Gracias, Jesus.
And so that we don't have legal problems,
we also have a lawyer.
Gracias, Jennifer.
And so that no one steals those statues,
we also have a policeman.
Gracias, Jose.
They are going to be guarding the statues here
in this platform, totally isolated from the floor
and totally surrounded, because at the back,
we have two runway controllers.
- Hola! - Hola!
- And at the front, we have the Spanish Penn and Teller!
They could be your twin brothers.
And from here, you can see,
from the front, you can see above,
you can see beneath, you can see the sides,
and you can see the two runway operators.
Please, if a plane comes, tell us, so we don't die!
Okay!
- And Penn and Teller, if you see something strange,
you see how the trick works,
or you see something or someone going in or out,
please stand up and shout,
"Cheater! Cheater! Tramposo! Tramposo!"
And the landing operators, if you see someone going in,
going out, or how the trick works,
please move the banners, like this, yes.
Mueve, mueve, yeah, sí!
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is totally true.
If they see something strange,
or they know how the trick is done,
they will start shouting, and they will screw it up.
I give you my word.
I would give you my blood, but you are vegan.
So from now on, we are not going to cut.
It's live, one shot, no edit.
The vanishing two Statues of Liberty,
totally surrounded, and in daylight.
Tres, dos, uno!
Sí, sí, sí!
Ha salido!
Have you seen anyone going? Have you seen?
No?
Have you seen someone? Come here!
Toca, toca!
Toca... sube, sube!
Yay!
Sorry, Copperfield!
Bye!
Jandro!
Jandro.
Hello!
Oh, I love you so much.
- Thank you, thank you. It was very crazy, very crazy.
- Your tricks get bigger every time.
What comes next?
- Next time, I'm going to vanish a planet.
Do you have one in mind?
I will vanish Pluto
because it's a very small planet.
Aww.
They're actually surprisingly quiet.
They're not really talking. They're thinking.
- Oh, I've never seen them thinking.
That's a miracle.
- Well, they're thinking, but they've got smiles
on their face, so they are enjoying,
even if they hate you.
- You know, they are getting a bit old,
so they have to talk more, you know?
Okay, Jandro,
let's see if you can run away with trophy number four.
Hola, mi amigo!
Hola, amigos!
- My dear friend, I talk to you at least every week.
We talk in Spanish.
We talk in English. We laugh.
You're a very, very close friend.
We know how you think.
We are not gonna give you the trophy
that easily this time.
Okay.
We have, this time,
a guess on how you did it.
We think... and I'm just gonna say it outright,
that you masked the bottom of that with mirrors,
and that there actually was a hole in the runway,
and they went down through a trapdoor.
Did we get you?
You know what's the problem?
- What? - You know how I think.
But I know how you think I think.
Oh!
So, this time,
this time I have not thought as I usually think.
- Maybe you wrapped them up in the cloth.
They're in the cloth that you threw down afterwards.
So, so,
I want to see your reaction
when you see the actual method.
There's an envelope in the table with the real method.
I wanted you to read it just for yourselves,
and I want to see your reaction,
and you decide if I have fooled you or not.
Ah!
I know it's crazy.
Ah.
- This is the craziest thing we've ever seen!
No one would ever do something like that.
It's genius and devilish.
But... this is the first time
I'll be saying this like this... nos engañaste.
Thank you.
- What's that mean? - Thank you.
What's that mean?
We are fooled!
- Yay! Four times!
- Thank you! - Whoo, Jandro!
Four times!
Four-time Fooler Jandro!
Yay!
Whoo!
Penn and Teller just got duped, deceived, and delighted.
But they've got three more "Fool Us" veterans
to take on, as "Fool Us" continues.
- Welcome back to Penn and Teller's worst nightmare.
Boys, I bet you didn't see this coming.
Take a look.
- Hello, my name's Piff the Magic Dragon.
Did you know that it all started for me ten years ago,
when I was on the very first season
Fool Us"?
That single appearance lit my career on fire,
got to America.
I became BFFs with Penn and Teller.
But when the pages of history are written,
only one question will remain... did I,
Piff the Magic Dragon, fool Penn and Teller?
The answer, of course, is no.
Otherwise, I'd be on my yacht, like Shim Lin.
Today, I'm here to make that right.
I want that trophy. It haunts me.
It's all I can think about. I see it everywhere I go.
