I went and saw Penn and Teller at the Rio a couple months later. Now those guys are GOOD.

Chris Angel wasn't even in their league.

After the Penn and Teller show we spoke with them in the lobby of their theater where they were signing autographs. These guys are old school magicians and simply are amazing in their skills. When I told them we had seen Chris Angel and were disappointed they both smirked and basically called Angel an amateur.
Agreed on that one. I'm wondering how many people within Cirque's organization have been nutslapped over bringing that douchebag into the fold.

Penn and Teller can do a simple trick with no elaborate props that will amaze you. Then they'll come back and do the trick AGAIN and show you how they pulled it off, in slow motion, and it will still amaze you.
