Ep 1. Won't Get Fooled Again... ?

In season 3 episode 1 of Penn & Teller: Fool Us, titled Won't Get Fooled Again..., magicians from around the world come to Las Vegas to showcase their best tricks in front of the legendary duo. The episode opens with Penn and Teller introducing the premise of the show, where the performers have to try and fool them so that they can win a chance to perform with them in their own stage show.

The first performer is a young illusionist from Canada, who amazes the judges with his impressive card skills. He asks Penn and Teller to each select a card from his deck, and then proceeds to find their chosen cards and many more. While Penn and Teller seem impressed, they are not completely fooled and provide feedback on how the trick could have been done even better.

The next act features a French magician who creates a stunning optical illusion that leaves both the judges and the audience perplexed. He uses a series of mirrors to make it appear as if his assistant is floating in mid-air, with no visible support. This trick is a favourite of Penn and Teller's, and they admit that even though they know how it's done, they still enjoy watching it.

The third act features a British comedy magician who takes a different approach to fooling Penn and Teller. Rather than relying on flashy props and illusions, he focuses on humour and misdirection to make his point. He performs a clever card trick involving a "marked" deck, and which has a hilarious twist at the end.

The episode's final act features a master illusionist from the United States who has been performing for over 30 years. He performs a series of impressive illusions, including making an elephant disappear and producing a live dove out of a scarf. Penn and Teller seem genuinely stumped by this performance, and praise the magician's innovative approach to the classic illusions.

Throughout the episode, Penn and Teller provide commentary on each act, providing insight into the art of magic and what makes a good trick. They also make it clear that they are not looking to "bust" the performers, but rather to be amazed by their skills and creativity.

At different points in the episode, Penn and Teller take a break from the performances to showcase some of their own tricks. They demonstrate how to escape from being wrapped in duct tape, and then Penn reveals the secrets behind his famous "nail gun" act.

Overall, Penn & Teller: Fool Us season 3 episode 1 is an entertaining and engaging look at the world of magic. With a mix of international performers and different styles of magic, it provides viewers with a diverse range of tricks and illusions to enjoy.
