Disero didn't get on for another half hour due to all the cleanup required.
By his estimation, that's two ten-minute acts in 45 minutes. The long time between acts can sap a crowd's enthusiasm, especially in a travel town like Vegas.
There's a warm-up comic in between acts, but that only does so much. Disero recommends swinging for the fences, if only to get the crowd back in it. An important part of any TV talent show is providing a story, a reason to root for the performer in question. Magician and Fool Us contestant Kostya Kimlat shared his experiences on the show, including an in-depth look at promo packages. Weeks before the act even arrives in Vegas, they have a few phone conversations with producers to get the general narrative.
Once the talent gets to town, they work with their own producers to make their spot both compelling and unique. They also pick out which magic tricks would look best on camera. The shoot starts early and stops at pre-selected sites around the Strip. To get the full effect of card magic, they often bring out special equipment such as slow-motion cameras. All told, they spend about four to six hours recording around Vegas for a second spot. That's some real editing magic.
Surely the point of a show called Fool Us is to fool someone, right? Nope, that's a bait-and-switch. The real goal is to highlight new stars in magic, which isn't a secret if one were to ask anyone who's ever been on the show.
He also acknowledged that the show provided him access to world-class magic consultants he couldn't otherwise afford. Magician Nathan Coe Marsh, who had a set on the show, called the 'fool us' angle a "gimmick" and a "fun hook" before acknowledging the show's true purpose. Whether or not any given act gets the FU Trophy, they get a great tape and exposure on the biggest stage possible. Teller notes that focusing on the "silly and trivial aspect" of how a trick is done is just a way to get the audience at home to feel like they're seeing what the crowd sees.
They pitched their act as magic for people who hated magic. They exposed secrets and their unorthodox style clashed with tradition. Surely being on their show damages one's standing in the magic community? Penn has acknowledged blowing their perceived pariah status "out of proportion. As for Fool Us? The magic community overwhelmingly loves it.
There's some consternation among acts that didn't go far, of course, but most appreciate the showcase.
