Mandrake, Also VERY HIGHLY reccommended is The Blue Man Show. I thought this was better watching P&T. I was mesmerized, really go and see it. :D

I really liked the shop in the Riviera...it is off the main strip in an older hotel, but the demonstrator was superb...

Dr. Todd - the Riviera Hotel is on the strip - it's directly across the street from Circus Circus.

well, i got back a week ago and saw P&T and Lance.

It really was great to see P&T after being a fan for so long, the show started at 8 but we got there at 7.30 as penn and mike jones play jazz music for you as you come in.

you are invited to come up on stage and sign an envelope which is used in the show later on, (think derren browns prediction on something wicked, its quite similar just differently presented)
some parts of the show:

teller comes on stage with a concrete block on his head and Penngets someone from the audience to come up, he vanishes their glasses, smashes the concrete block and there they are on tellers face!

There is a big fish bowl that Teller gives to an audience member when he starts pulling coins from everywhere and puts them in the bowl, there are loads of coins! the then dips his hands in the water when they turn into goldfish! this one knocked me for 6! it was mind blowing!

they vanished the U.S flag in the bill of rights and then showed how they did it before vanishing it in the most visual way ive ever seen and it instantly goes back on the flag pole it came down from! its so nice when you think you see whats coming then they completly suprise you!

Penn juggles broken Glass after 10 mins of him saying how dangerous it is! some beautiful fire eating ensues.

To end they did the bullet catch, it was a pleasure to see this live, it was just so impossible looking.

thats not all the tricks but ive forgot the others,

they ended by doing a meet and greet, i had my photos taken with them and signed my cards and brochure.

Lance was also extremly entertaining, i always said i wasnt a fan of illusions, well Lance changed that for me! some of his routines were simply amazing! he also connects with the crowd in a way that no-one else can compete! the half time juggler is also extremly funny! i dont have time to write a review, ill just say that Mandrake you must see both!

I think you mean "The Blue Man Group", but yeah, it is an awesome show. There's a Blue Man Group at The Charles Playhouse in Boston. I've been a couple times and it always gets better each time.


BTW, how was the trip?
