Penn & Teller: Fool Us is a TV show in which aspiring magicians attempt to impress the famous magician duo, Penn Jillette and Teller, with their magic tricks. The tricksters perform in front of a live studio audience and if they manage to fool Penn & Teller, they earn the chance to perform with the magicians in their Las Vegas show. In season 1, episode 9, titled "Teller Sucks...Helium", several new magicians compete for the chance to fool Penn & Teller and earn a coveted spot in their Las Vegas show.

In this episode, the first magician to perform is Anthony Asimov, who creates the illusion of light appearing from his fingertips. He tricks the audience with his intricate hand movements, but Penn & Teller quickly catch on to a key element of his trick and reveal how he did it.

Next up is a couple of magicians, who perform a seemingly simple trick involving two cups and a ball. However, as they switch the cups around, it becomes increasingly difficult to follow the ball's movements. Penn & Teller are impressed with the couple's ability to keep the audience guessing, but ultimately, they manage to uncover the trick behind the cups and the ball.

Following them is a young magician named Avner the Eccentric, who uses a unique combination of juggling and magic to create a humorous routine. He manages to make Penn & Teller laugh, but ultimately, they are able to uncover enough of his trick to avoid being fooled.

The final magician to perform is Mac King, a well-known comedy magician. He performs a trick where he pours helium from one container to another, claiming that he's transferring the gas from one balloon to another. The trick is so simple that Teller is able to realize that King simply sucks helium from one container and then blows it into the other. Despite the simplicity of the trick, King's comedic timing and playful personality make his performance entertaining and enjoyable.

Overall, episode 9 of Penn & Teller: Fool Us is filled with entertaining magic tricks and a healthy dose of humor. Although Penn & Teller are able to uncover most of the secrets behind the illusions, the journey to discovering these secrets is exciting and enjoyable.
