Penn and Teller

Postby AJ82 » May 24th, '06, 14:15



Does anyone know if Penn and Teller have a DVD out? Not exposing their tricks but more of a show based DVD? I have never seen one of their shows but I am quite interested in seeing one.

My pleasure :P best way to find those sites by seaching is to type name and offical site.

E.G. "lance Burton official website" should produce his website address

I have placed my order. Was a bit shocked at postage to UK but hay I am sure it will be worth it (thats if the order goes through) my card I used for payment was not on the list so I put it in any way lol. Oh well with a little magic.... I am sure it will work.

I remember seeing a show by penn and teller on channel four years ago called something phobia but it had loads of cool effects on it like a woman pulling out her eyeball and a man being pushed on a buzzsaw and a penny being pulled out of someones stomach. Would be cool if you could get it on dvd

There is more bad news. You WILL be charged import tax. If you have probs with the card check amazon or ebay (check out the seller first though)

When you purchase from the USA our country charges a tax. When the post man brings your item he will have a bill for you. It is normally 17.5% of the value plus an £11 charge. This may change or have changed.

Seige am i getting mixed up with 'our' kind of orders?

Teller is a animatronic robot built by Penn therefore he doesn't talk because it would require a good skill of ventriloqism which Penn doesn't have unfortunately

What, you really thought he was human?

Check out his neck when you get the DVD. You can see a the tiny screws in there that top his head falling off.
