Penn And Teller. Enough Said.
Now, I'm going to try and make this short, because at the moment I feel like John Popper after running a marathon. If you don't get the reference...
That being said, there is something of dire importance. I know I let you down last time, but this time should be significantly better (or lets at least hope so, otherwise i might lose faith in entertainment).
Penn & Teller, the duo that arguably made me become a magician, have a new special on NBC, this Sunday, 11/12/05. For those of you that don't know Penn & Teller, they are quite possibly the most progressive, innovative, astounding, thought-provoking, offensive, no-holds-barred, hard-working, creative, smart, talented, etc. and etc. magicians on the planet. Now, normally, this would be an alert of moderate notice, perhaps a line at the bottom of a post or something. However, there is a twist. While they will be performing mostly classic magic effects, they will be performing them
COMPLETLEY UNDERWATER.
While wearing these Jules Verne type diving helmets, i.e. ->
Kind of throws card tricks out the window, don't it?
Plus, they will be performing the metamorphisis, which was recently exposed at the Houdini museum, and while I wont divulge the secrets for anyone who doesn't know, I will say this: Magicians, and lay people who know the secret, think for a moment about how hard that will be to perform, at the same speed, under water. Especially for the person bound and in the tank, who will have no oxygen supply. Just think about that for a moment. These guys are not only good, they're legendary.
