I dunno. I think he looks damn good for someone north of his mid fourties.
He's actually 60 years old

Whaaaat? Bullshit.
Penn Fraser Jillette
March 5, 1955 (age 60)
Raymond Joseph Teller
February 14, 1948 (age 67)
Teller legally changed his name from "Raymond Joseph Teller" to the mononym "Teller," and possesses a United States passport issued in that name
Does anyone with a better understanding of ballistics than me know whether the bullet trick could have been performed with blank bullets? I'm thinkingthe signatures were forged by assistants on pre-fired bullet rounds that P/T inserted in their mouths while putting the headgear on. You can see Penn finagling with the bullet in his mouth for a second or two longer than he should have when revealing the catch.
My theory isforged bullet heads are fed into the inside of the kevlar vests by assistants and when they put it over their heads they simply mouth it. I'm guessing the original bullets are somekind of dissolvable substance thats only intended to break the glass, maybe just a blank.

Pretty surethe glass is wired to break with a surge of electricity. No bullet is actually fired at anyone. I'm still not exactly sure how the bullet gets to their mouths though.
Holy shit Brian Brushwood lol. I know that guy.
edit: wow he bombed - at least he knows it. His stuff is not suited to the format whatsoever.

Wait, how did he bomb?
I enjoyed the performance. So did P&T, apparently.
I thought I would like this show but it just feels like massive blueballs instead. I want to know how the tricks are done damnit!

I do kind of agree with this sentiment mainly because there is no risk for the magicians going up to present, either they fool P&T or they don't but not fooling them carries no risk. I feel like that if you feel like you can fool them you should take the risk that your trick will be exposed on stage for all to see. The only problem of course is that doing so hurt other magicians and probably P&T themselves who use some of those tricks or the foundations of them in their own act.
You really don't. You wanting to know that is why they are so good. Trust me - once you find out you will regret it.
I don't know, the refilling soda can trick I first saw on wizard wars is still fun even knowing the trick, especially when it showed up in a detective conan (or was it kaito kid) episode shortly after I saw it on wizard wars and found out how it was done.
since it's such a simple trick knowing means that if i need to I could pull it out at a party or something

Make sure to practice it and work out your own presentation for it.I don't know, the refilling soda can trick I first saw on wizard wars is still fun even knowing the trick, especially when it showed up in a detective conan (or was it kaito kid) episode shortly after I saw it on wizard wars and found out how it was done.

I also bought H&S (maybe 10 years ago) and haven't performed it yet.

Something that is true for magic in general.indeed, 99% of the trick is the presentation and making people believe.
Yes.This is the one by Anders Moden, or something like that?
I really enjoyed the coloring-in blow up doll trick, I know Penn and Teller mentioned it had basis in a different trick involving cartoon bunnies but I think coloring in a blind date and getting a blow up doll along with the guy's comedy adds a really funny layer to it.
That's not what they meant. Penn was referring toThumper the rabbit. In stage magic, a thumper is a device controlled by an assistant that communicates to the magician. In this case, the assistant would have told the magician which color marker was taken, and then the magician tells the artist which part of the body to mark depending on which color it is.
How did the picture frame guy do that at the end?
Technology.
You think that was a real picture frame? The thing was wide as hell and on a pretty big table.
Probably just had wifi or something connected to a printer on the table behind the frame.
How did the picture frame guy do that at the end?
He had a quick-printing printer, probably over bluetooth, which was sent the picture the instant he took it. Then he makes idle conversation for the next half a minute while the picture prints. Then the printer spits it out, which everyone believes to be a digital image, but it was a paper print the whole time.
yeah, he couldn't have done that trick "on the street" like in his intro.
I liked the beer-pouring one a lot though
No, cause they're not there to judge people. Penn has referred to the show itself as a trick. The competition doesn't actually matter. Some of the most successful magicians from the show have been people that didn't fool them. The exposure from the show is enough. They're just giving magicians a showcase on tv in the appearance of a competition show.
So have Penn and Teller ever ripped someone's act apart?
There was an act done by a couple this year that fooled them that I'm pretty sure got intentionally caught to fake them out too. They said the wife didn't take a card off the stage when she clearly very visibly did. Almost too visibly.But I think one act in the first season pissed them off, because they put in a deliberate false move that cheapened the performance and made Penn and Tellers guess incorrect (and they're only allowed one guess, so they got through on a technicality and not actually fooling them).
they have said a couple of times that they teamed up over 40 years ago. I mean it's possible it was at 5 years old but the math works much better at 60
want the even crazier one?
yeah... teller who looks like at most he is in his 40s is nearing 70.
also just because
I just assumed they met in second grade or something. Well, whatever they're doing is working for them.
