I think they should remove that claim from the beginning of the programme but I'm glad they're not giving the tricks away. The show feels more a celebration of magic than trying to pull bits down.
Half the fun is seeing Teller's reaction to some of the tricks. He's someone who clearly has so much respect and love for magic and the skill involved. Even when not fooled you can tell when he's blown away by someone's skill.

It is a little "Unbalanced" though, some people seem to get away with the secret being "Exposed" & some don't! Maybe they don't reveal as much, if they have "Respect" for the PERFORMANCE, would love to know what the criteria actually is, but suspect it might be that............
All good wishes
