Ep 8. Imagine Dragons

In Penn & Teller: Fool Us season 5 episode 8, titled "Imagine Dragons," the world-famous illusionists Penn & Teller are joined by four new magicians as they continue their quest to figure out how each act is performed. The premise of the show is simple: each magician performs an original act, and if they manage to trick Penn & Teller, they win the chance to open for the legendary duo in Las Vegas. However, if Penn & Teller are able to figure out the trick behind the illusion, the magician goes home empty-handed.

In "Imagine Dragons," the four magicians vying for the chance to perform in Vegas are David Parr, Eric Jones, Chris Funk, and Rob Zabrecky. David Parr is known for his intricate card tricks and has previously appeared on Fool Us, while Eric Jones is a close-up magician who has performed at the Magic Castle in Hollywood. Chris Funk hails from Canada and combines music with magic, and Rob Zabrecky is a veteran performer who has been on the magic circuit for more than twenty years.

As always, Penn & Teller are in top form, offering up quips and comments as they watch each performer take the stage. In the first act, David Parr presents a card trick with a story about the Loch Ness Monster. Eric Jones performs a trick with a walnut shell and a ball, while Chris Funk combines music and magic in a routine involving a ukulele and a balloon. Finally, Rob Zabrecky presents a spooky act that involves a ghost story and some eerie-looking dolls.

Each act is unique and impressive, and as always, Penn & Teller are completely in the dark as to how the tricks are done. However, they're not afraid to offer up their own theories and suggestions, and the camaraderie between the two men is always a highlight of the show.

Overall, "Imagine Dragons" is a great episode of Penn & Teller: Fool Us, showcasing four talented magicians and some truly mind-bending tricks. Whether you're a fan of magic or just love watching Penn & Teller do their thing, this episode is definitely worth checking out.
