First, some backstory from
Shawn Farquhar's December 9th Facebook post (emphasis mine):
A Letter to the Magic Community...
As
Producers of Penn & Teller : Fool Us, our guiding principle is that
the show is made "by magicians, for magicians." We have tried to
provide a positive Prime Time outlet for magicians everywhere over the
course of our 4 seasons on the air - and we've been lucky and successful
enough to get an order for Season Five on the CW Network.
As
always, our goal is to feature the best and brightest in the magic
world, and as such, we'd like to respectfully invite you to submit a
recording of a trick you perform that you believe would be good for our
show. Highly original presentations and original tricks of all kinds are appreciated.
And here's a not so subtle reminder that my original effect "The Fools' Monte," was well received by (and dare I say fooled) Jeff McBride at the workshop he held at CAM in 2003.
With that, I'll just leave you this
