A special for these unique times. Filmed entirely at the homes of Penn & Teller and their friends around the world, Penn & Teller: Try This at Home showcases new magic Penn & Teller and their magician friends have developed at home and teaches viewers how to do an array of tricks themselves while being joined by celebrity guests including Elle and Dakota Fanning, Michael Carbonaro and Shin Lim.
Production
Shot across multiple continents via iPhone and Zoom — still flawless.
Writing
Penn's patter improvised around cats, bad lighting, and Teller's silence.
Practical Effects
Every trick uses household junk — no fancy props, pure craft.
Director
Andrew J. Golder
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Teller filmed his segments in complete silence via Zoom, with Penn translating — other magicians had no idea if he was even online.
This special pioneered 'pandemic magic' as a genre; dozens of copycat virtual shows followed, none matching Penn & Teller's technical rigor.
