Pretty good video to watch

Do note that Penn is a bit earthy in language, and these are probably NSFW.

Tagged, will watch it when I get home. I am not huge fans, but I generally have liked most of what I've seen from them.

I saw them live in Vegas a few years back and was lucky enough to get called up for their final illusion when they called on persons who were very familiar with firearms (it's like they called me by name!). Penn had me inspect his revolver (being in front of a large crowd, I made painfully clear that my finger was off the trigger and always pointing the muzzle in a safe direction, even though it was empty at the time) and make my mark on a cartridge (both the projectile and casing), while my counterpart did the same for Teller. We then left the stage as they put on protective gear.

Using laser sights, they each pointed at the others mouth, each thru a piece of glass (to prove a projectile came out), and fired. At no time did either of them cross a line in the middle of the stage.

We were then called back onstage to catch the bullet they each spit into our hand. Sure enough, Teller spit out the round I had marked. I then removed the casing from Penn's revolver to find the one I had marked.

Neat trick! ....and I got to keep the bullet and casing as a souvenir. But what really impressed me was that they then stayed in the lobby until every guest had the time to meet with them and take pictures. They easily could've left w/o mingling. It was a nice touch.
