I watched almost every act on YouTube.

Im amazed at how P&T see things that you or I wouldn't see.

Sometimes they reveal how the trick is done in casual talk afterwards, and I'll go back and see if I can see it.

I've never heard of it, but it looks awesome. I love PnT, but really only know them from random appearances and specials, Penn as a guest on some of the Radio I listen too, and the Bullshit show they used to do.

[RedBlackAttack]

I've watched pretty much all the episodes of the show on YT and it was really good. Not sure how I stumbled upon it, but great entertainment value. Of course, I liked it which probably means the American masses will scroll right over it if history is an indicator.

I actually went to a show of their's in Vegas in April.

Maybe the best live entertainment I've ever seen.

This is an hour long Ricky Jay special you should check out. He doesn't have the theatrics of PnT, but I've always liked him, and he sort of reminds of them in his historical perspective that he talks about with tricks, and his round about explanations. A lot of people don't even know he's a magician. He's a fairly prominent actor. Boogie Nights he's the cameraman. It's also on Netflix.

Love this show.

Penn is a hilarious mofo

[Take Your Lumps]

Was kind of concerned when I saw Penn and how thin he looked, thinking he might be sick. Sounds like he lost 100+ lbs. by completely changing his eating habits :applause:

looks cute and trivial at first, but very clever IMO.

Finally got to watch it with sound...

That's too cool.

i needed a couple of hints before i figured it out. at first i thought it worked by a small neodymium magnet in the plunger and a special deck embedded with iron particles.

totally! at times it was a little too melodramatic for me, but some of those switches were pretty amazing.

Some of the fastest hands I've ever seen. This guy is unreal.

This is one of my favorite shows. I've always loved magic, I love P&T and Teller might be the best alive. This is such a cool concept and they are the perfect magicians to do it.

i'm still trying to figure this one out.

I've seen a few episodes. Good stuff.

[bladefd]

I watched every episode in 2nd season. Very good show! Those sleight of hands are unbeliveable. No idea how PnT know all the tricks. Now i want to hear Teller speak just 1 sentence! I have never heard him say a word out loud..

I love that Penn and Teller add comedy to their acts rather than just being impressive.

[lil jahlil]

Just found out this is on Hulu. I will be catching up.

[gigantes]

i just realised the other day that both season's eps are also right on CW's site, but with ads:

teller speaks on youtube. he's got a very pleasant voice... pretty much the opposite of penn.
