| - Meh. Perhaps it was our own fault for accepting seats in the balcony... But most of the magic was lost on us up there. Having gone to the Magic Castle just months prior and seeing close up magic that was extraordinary, I realized right away what we were missing being so far away. People around me were commenting similarly. I heard walking out, "Good thing those were free tickets." Yeah dude, I wish mine were too!
Some of it was clever, some of it was funny, and a couple of tricks were pretty cool. But nothing worthy of the Vegas stage... Maybe their tired act is better suited for Branson, MO?
Let's get real, it should be called "Penn on his pedestal and the little guy, Teller, who plays the assistant."
Way too much talking. The gun trick at the finale was probably the worst of the bunch. A major letdown.
The worst part of the evening was trying to leave the auditorium. Because Penn and Teller sign autographs (which is super cool, guys! I'll give you that), nobody could get out. It was a sea of people with nowhere to turn. My husband gets anxiety from small spaces and almost passed out and I wasn't far behind him. It was at least 20 min of being trapped just trying to get out of the exit hallway and another 10 trying to push through after giving up on waiting. (Literally not a foot in front, side, or back of us was clear.) We couldn't turn back and wait for the crowd to go down. We couldn't wait off to the side, and we certainly couldn't move forward. It was a MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. It would have been nice to see or meet the guys, but that was clearly not possible, which was fine, but PLEASE rope it off and clear a path for people who want to actually exit after the show. Major major MAJOR issue that needs to be corrected right away.
