Did Morgan and West go to Las Vegas?
The question on everyone’s lips after seeing them on the Fool Us show with Penn and Teller was ‘did Morgan and West go to Las Vegas?’
The answer is yes they did!
This pair of teachers, who’s real names are Rhys Jones and Rob Hemmens, fooled Penn and Teller for the second time in a row. This earned them the right to appear in Las Vegas.
Mr Hemmens said: “We knew the trick could fool them, but we didn’t believe that we would fool them. We went in there to give it our best shot and, thankfully, nailed them. It probably won’t sink in until we’ve landed in Vegas.”
