I just figured everyone would've enjoy the show. I was wrong. My boys had other ideas for entertainment: bowling and poker of course -- and I'm sticking to that story.\n\nSo I found it fitting my wife bought us tickets to finally see Penn and Teller. Thanks babe.\n\nIt was a great show. The tricks they performed varied from the standard rope cutting trick to an intricately mind blowing final shoot out. Regardless of what they did, I kept asking, \"How'd they do that?\" \n\nMy favorite act of the night didn't even involve magic. It was a juggling exhibition with broken glass bottles. The performance was prefaced by telling us how one small miscalculation would lead to gushing blood and an immediately to a trip to the emergency room.\nThe build up was great and the tension exciting because people need to know there is an element of danger involved.\n\nOverall, the show was a nice mix of comedy and magic.\n\nMoment of the night:\nThere's that time in the show when the performers seek out the assistance of an audience member. And since we had some really good seats, I was afraid one of us would be chosen.\nMy fears quickly materialized as Penn (or was it Teller?) approached us. *rapid heart beating* How I wished I could make us disappear.\n\nFortunately, he picked the girl sitting directly one row in front us. *collective sigh* Good thing neither of us went on stage since the volunteer got splashed with water at the end."^^ . .
