Magicians have the opportunity on the show Penn & Teller: Fool Us to demonstrate to Penn and Teller a magic act, and if Penn and Teller can't guess how the trick was done, the magicians win a trophy and a chance to perform with Penn and Teller's live show in Las Vegas. There have been younger people on the show before, but the youngest to successfully fool them was the 14-year-old Magic Maxl.
Magic Maxl received his first magic box when he was five and had been practicing tricks with the Magic Circle of Germany since he was 9. In season 8, episode 2 of the series, he did a remote performance of a floating egg trick that stumped Penn and Teller.
