If you don't know Penn & Teller from their Showtime series "BULLSH!T," here they are:
Penn is the Big Guy. Teller is the little guy. Penn speaks nonstop. Teller never says anything.
They do tricks. "Magic" tricks. Only they don't pretend for a moment they are actually doing magic. They are completely upfront about the fact that they are illusionists, and during the show they actually showed the audience just how they did their tricks. I mean, no one sitting there really thinks they are sawing a woman in half or making balls appear under cups. But somehow, watching them doing the cup trick with clear plastic cups, talking through each step in real time, makes the trick seem even more impossible and the outcome even more incredible.
And the things they did were incredible and amazing. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. I promise you it's an experience. They are even worth going to Vegas to see.
