Fool Us has run for 11 seasons and 173 episodes, and nobody involved with the show keeps a public list of who performed on it. So we built one, from the episode-by-episode records below, and checked it act by act.
Acts are listed the way the show billed them, so a duo stays a duo. A magician who came back gets a separate entry for every visit, because the result can go either way on different nights — plenty of people lost one week and fooled Penn and Teller the next. When we could confirm a magician has a FindMagic profile, their name links straight to it, so you can see where they are performing now.
A red YouTube mark means we watched that link and it really is that performance. A grey one means we could not find the clip and the link runs a YouTube search instead — we would rather admit that than pass a guess off as the real thing. Right now 122 of 686 performances have a confirmed video, and we are still working through the rest.
A few segments where Penn or Teller competed instead of judging are kept in the list but left out of the Fooled them filter — somebody else was doing the judging, so they are not comparable. Last updated 2026-08-28, covering everything broadcast through 2025-12-05.
