On Friday night we enjoyed ITV\u2019s magic special Penn & Teller: Fool Us<\/a>. Hosted by Jonathan Ross<\/a>, the show saw magicians entertaining a studio audience and Penn &\u00a0 Teller<\/a> to see whether they could fool them. Both John Archer<\/a> and Ben Earl<\/a> managed to present tricks that Penn & Teller could not explain and for their trouble they win a spot on the Penn & Teller Show in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

It seems that TV magic is coming back in a big way, as this show comes hot on the heels of BBC1\u2019s Saturday night series The Magicians, starring Luis de Matos<\/a>, Chris Korn<\/a>, comedy magic duo Barry & Stuart<\/a> and host, Lenny Henry. The David Meade Project<\/a> starts next Wednesday on BBC1 NI and Objective productions are casting magicians now for a new series featuring magic.<\/p>\n
