In the show, Penn and Teller try to guess how local magicians pull off their tricks. Competitors who fool them win a trip to perform on stage in Las Vegas.
DCD has sold the Brit version of the show to multiple territories including ABC in Australia, and BBC Worldwide Channels for Scandinavia, Africa and Latin America. ITV commissioned the show for the U.K. but Penn and Teller own worldwide rights to Fool Us.
