Ondřej Pšenička

Czech magician, Fool Us winner

Ondřej Pšenička is a performing magician specializing in close-up magic and corporate events and parlour magic. Fooling Penn & Teller on national television is a rare triumph; fooling them 3 times puts Ondřej Pšenička in an extraordinarily rare circle of inventive masters who have repeatedly baffled the legendary duo. Deeply revered across the craft, further industry distinctions include the Allan Slaight Award (Sharing Wonder). Rather than playing to distant balconies in cavernous theatres, Ondřej Pšenička created the intimate salon experience Bill Cheung Close-Up Magic Theater, welcoming guests to witness masterclass sleight of hand within arm’s reach.

About Ondřej Pšenička

Ondřej Pšenička is the Czech magician best known outside the Czech Republic for Penn & Teller: Fool Us, where across four attempts he fooled Penn and Teller three times — a hat-trick shared by only four magicians in the world.

He has worked in modern magic since 1996, winning the national junior championship two years running and collecting further awards under the guidance of Swedish magician Eve'n Alan. He studied acting at the Lee Strasberg Theater & Film Institute in Los Angeles and magic at the Academy of Magical Arts in Hollywood and the renowned Magic Castle club, and designs the Butterfly range of playing, trick and marked cards. His work runs from the show 52 Lovers to corporate functions, parties and team-buildings with magic tuition, in person or online.
