Penn & Teller
Bunny and I went to see Penn & Teller [1] live at the Kravis Center for
Performing Arts [2]. We both had a good time watching them from the nosebleed
section, despite having already seen most of their act on television and
YouTube [3] (the only new thing we saw was Penn juggling fire batons (pretty
easy according to Penn) and broken wine bottles (which is hard, given they're
different weights and, well, wrist-slittingly sharp)). We also saw them deal
with [DELETED-victims-DELETED] volunteers who, shall we say, weren't quite up
to speed (“No, keep your arm up … no, up! Hold it here! No … here!”).
The one trick I was hoping to see was their famous bullet catch [4], but
alas, they did not do that trick. They did, however, allow one person in the
audience to have their smart phone video record disappearing and reappearing
in a dead fish [5]. Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the resulting video,
so we still have no idea how that trick was done.
Oh wait …
