About Jack Taperell

Jack Taperell appeared on the original British season of Penn & Teller: Fool Us in 2011 at age fourteen. The episode transcript identifies him as a South Croydon school student and the only magician in his family, performing a combination of close-up card work and what he called magic of the mind. Penn and Teller praised the performance but were not fooled. Research found no dependable performer-controlled website, current professional biography, booking contact or evidence that Taperell continued a public magic career as an adult, so this profile should remain a historical record without implying present availability or residence.
