| - I'm a big Penn and Teller fan. I love their TV specials, their "Bulls**t" show, and Penn's outspoken faith beliefs. I was really, really looking forward to going to their show -- especially considering the price was pretty high.
I was really disappointed, though. I'd seen half the tricks on TV before, and a lot of them really weren't very spectacular. I think there were, maybe, five or six tricks in total. Read that again: There are only about five or six tricks in their whole act. The rest is "patter," as magicians call it (chatter). One trick, a pretend mind-reading trick, lasted about 20 full minutes. I mean, it came with a good message about not believing TV psychics, but honestly, for $95 per seat, I expect more than six tricks.
I felt ripped off and, remember, I was a big fan.
P.S. One bonus cool item -- as you're getting seated, Penn is on stage playing the bass.
P.P.S. If there's a big box on stage and they're inviting people up before the show starts to go look at it, keep your eyes on the box and don't take your eyes off -- even when the show starts. Amazing little trick.
