Vegas and Penn & Teller 2014

I've returned from my Vegas trip.
Felling refreshed and full of ideas...
...at least for my stories.  Life is still busy with other things.

But let me step away from that and talk more about what I saw~



And as I was there with Matt and Melinda, we went to go see a Vegas show.
One I haven't seen in since ten years ago.


 Penn and Teller have been my favorite magicians since I was a kid.  Even learned how to do some of their card tricks -



Mostly known for their shows, like Bullshit, they have done their own magic searches around the world, written their own books, and have talked in length about some strong opinionated beliefs.  

But the artwork they do in their tricks is what affects me.
I've seen some other magicians preform up close, but they don't hold the same message that P&T can make.
As a tribute, to both their work and to my memory, I would like to show you some of their stuff.

My memory of that show, as I can call it now, was something like this~

Box trick ( Great start )
Cell Fish
Metal Detector
Guest Trick Joke
"It's done with thread" Red Ball Trick
Tea pot trick
Trashbag Escape
Guitar, Physics, and Cards ( They said this was a new trick, but still alright)
Cow Toy Trick
Teller's Trick to fool Penn 
Cutting Women in Half...
Goldfish and Coins  ( Second trick in the video, I think I saw this 10 years ago too )
Nail-gun Memorization ( This was a Penn stand alone, but still good )
American Flag
Rose's Shadow  ( My personal favorite )
Final - Double Bullet Catch

There are many more tricks that they do and have done.
And if you are ever in Vegas, make sure this is one of the shows you go see.

And now, I got to keep writing.
Later~
Will.

P.S.  This is what Teller sounds like.
