Seth Raphael is a close-up magician and mentalist, known for card magic and visual sleight of hand. Seth Raphael's career includes fooling Penn & Teller on Penn & Teller: Fool Us.
Seth Raphael is a magician, inventor and technologist whose performance practice blends mentalism with interactive software and contemporary devices. His official site identifies him as a high-tech magician, TED Fellow and Google inventor, while a TED profile describes his long-standing goal of using technology and magic to help audiences reconsider what is possible. Raphael’s Fool Us performance earned a trophy with an apparently impossible phone-based routine. The evidence supports continuing public creative identity, but the sparse performer site does not clearly state a home base, current live-show calendar, booking formats or direct professional contact.
One appearance on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and it fooled them.
