Penn and Teller: Fool Us casting for season 8

From the November 18th Facebook post by Michael Close:

Well, here's some fun news for all of you from the executive producers of Penn & Teller: Fool Us.
We just finished shooting the second half of season 7 at the (empty) Rio in Las Vegas, for a total of twenty-six episodes this year, including our one-hundredth episode. Go Magic!
New episodes will begin to air on or about January 8, 2021.
Shooting with Covid protocols proved challenging but possible, and the show looks great – including our virtual audience.
International acts participated with pre-taped tricks and as "live remotes."
The CW just can't get enough Fool Us. We are CASTING SEASON 8 now! Tell your friends. Tell yourself. Tell anyone with cool magic even if they are not your friend! Please send submissions to fooluscasting@gmail.com.
All the best,
Andrew Golder and Lincoln Hiatt, Executive Producers
