Vitaly Beckman on Penn and Teller's "Fool Us" [Mar 19]

From the March 13th Facebook post by Vitaly Beckman:

On this day, one year ago I was performing in Vegas and in the evening decided to attend the taping of Penn and Teller: Fool Us and watch the show as an audience member... it was the last filming day of season 7 and I was surprised to see a few good friends Shawn Farquhar and Clinton W. Gray being taped that night! Little did I know that from that very day I won't perform live nor see another live show for a year.

Coincidentally, I also didn't know that one year later I will be invited to participate in the Fool Us show as a contestant again... virtually! And so, I'm excited to announce that I will be performing a brand new piece of magic this Friday at 9pm on The CW. Wish me luck!

Our thoughts are with Paul's family and friends at this impossible time. 

More details will be posted as they become available.

 

From the March 14th Tweet by Ryan Joyce:

Sad to learn Paul Royter has passed. He was an amazing hypnotist, magician and mentor. He changed my life and I'm forever grateful. Rest in peace, Paul.
