    You can tell he's a doc by the way he signed the card. It's either his name, or an order for a 2vw chest xray.

    Penn is such a grateful host. Even when he’s not fooled at all, he is gracious enough to complement his guests as much as possible. He doesn’t demean them, like Simon.

      @itsafunnyoldworld Před rokem +3

      Best thing about FU, IMO. Also, the magicians are screened, and it's the talented ones that get to go up there and perform, whereas XFactor etc, at least in the early stages, it's anybody's game, and that leaves more room for ridicule both from the judges and audiences alike

    My favorite part about this show is that even the tricks that "fail" are still wonderfully performed tricks, and Penn, Teller, and all the guests are always such great sports about it. The show really is just a showcase of magic talent with a dash of competition thrown in.

    I love how so many of these magicians have shaking hands during the trick. They're wobbling around, they're clearly nervous. But the moment they need to manipulate the cards at all? Smooth, practiced precision, the kind you only get through true muscle memory.

    Very cleanly and smoothly done trick, Dr Kahn, and I strongly applaud anyone who dares to do a close-up magic trick right in front of P&T (I would have been shaking hands or voice from nerves alone). I've learned from watching them that anytime a magician retouches a deck of cards, you should almost always be suspicious of them. Still, very well done!
