I think I commented on this in a thread relating to P+T a while back.
It's great to see it again. Still as good as ever. Thanks a lot for reminding me. :D

It's an interesting point of how Penn and Teller reveal some magic, but aren't really looked down upon. They do it in good taste...and then usually end up confusing the spectator more with the method than the actual trick!

Thanks,

I totally agree. Even by revealing small bits of magic it just becomes part of the show, and almost a trick itself by confusing the audience so much they don't know whats happening.

I've always loved penn and teller :D

Great isn't it. I love the parts of their shows when Teller is doing his thing, whilst narrated by Penn.

And i love the patter in this clip, how a seemingly simple action can actually be very complex.

I think it's great that even though they reveal a trick, they thrown in an extra twist that leaves the audience just as confused as they were before the trick was explained.

Do you guys get their 'Bullsh*t' tv show which airs on Showtime here in the states?

Don't know if its been discussed here but they do a great card trick that ties in to a Gravestone Marker at the Forest Lawn Cemetary here in LA. I've actually done it twice now with 2 different sets of people and they were so surprised. Its so fresh and so Penn & Teller. I've sent them the pictures of the payoff and looks on the spectator's faces and got a response from them saying they love when others do their trick.
