Well, I loved the show. I can see why some were underwhelmed, there were bits that weren't exactly tricks, but there were many things done just for entertainment value. Still, the magic that was there was brilliant, Teller performing masterfully as expected and Penn being the loud, witty showman we all know.

All in all, I loved it.

For kicks, thought I'd throw this in. Me with Penn



and me with Teller!



Gotto love just how long they stayed to sign autographs, shake hands and take pictures. They were there for a good hour at least, which I think is pretty good natured of them. After the bloody struggle I had to get Derren Brown's autograph, I was pleasantly surprised by these guys. Penn even crouched a bit so he wouldn't make me look like a shorty (he's a bloody giant!).
Even got to hear Teller speak, which was weird. I think I actually expected him to be a mute.

Teller is very soft-spoken! I think most people expect him to be mute, so they don't try to chat with him like they do with Penn. And he's happy to stay in that character, apart from a quiet "thank you" or whatever the situation demands.

Yes, I wasn't quite expecting him to say anything, but I said I'd really enjoyed the show and was a big admirer of his magic, he just softly said thankyou etc then asked if I wanted a picture. Nice bloke

I'm a sucker for gimmick decks and like to collect them. I found the following pic on their website:



The card on the end with the picture of them on it- is that what the backs of all of the cards look like (I'm hoping that they're Bike backs) or is that just a promo insert?

They were on sale at the Apollo at £5 each. They're made by USPCC but the backs are as per that picture.
