My Favorite Penn And Teller Trick

From the West Wing episode "In the Room", this is also a staple of their live show. Sorry about the long intro, I couldn't get the audio to sync when I trimmed it.

No... they just burned a piece of flash paper really fast. Teller took the flag out and put it in the back of Penn's jacket.

Yeah, in the live show they do it again right after, but use a clear tube instead of the bill of rights so everyone can see how it's done.

the expression on that one guy's face is priceless, even if he is just acting.

You can see the reverance that they have for the flag. White gloves, proper folding technique. And the political commentary turns a very clean vanish into a superb illusion. BTW, If anyone has a video of my second favorite P&T trick, where Teller almost drowns on Saturday Night Live, please upload it. I can't find it anywhere.

fake. when penn was holding the BOR teller moved it out the back and then inserted something flamable, but not contagiously conbustable.

Of course it's fake you fucking moron, they're magicians. Magicians give the illusion of magic, they don't pretend to perform it literally.

Very good trick btw.

The best drama ever, and fine magicians who credit themselves every time they perform on tv.
