Everything from de-bunking spoon bending to "The parsley game" ( you need to read to know..). Highly recommended for those interested in magic or just want to poke their eye out with a fork. I couldn't put this book down and laughed my wife awake.
Format:Paperback
This book is for people who dare to have fun with food. Surprise your friends by stabbing your own eye out or cut a homemade 'real' snake into pieces while your friends throw up at the sight. Penn and Tellers sense of humour is priceless and the tricks work!

a useful book on magic and table manners
3 Dec 1999
Format:Paperback
Penn & Teller take their stage personas to the print medium, and it works superbly. Penn is just as loud as ever, and Teller (seen in many of the photos) wears his trademark blank smile.
Most books on magic and ``tricks'' tend to be frustratingly dull, but the lively prose, scrumptious humour and fine photos and illustration make this one a pleasure to read.
This magic book also has the virtue of presenting several tricks that are easy to perform--if you want to learn two or three very funny and fun tricks table gags that require almost zero practice, this is the book to get.

Lots of awesome tricks and gimmicks.

sick, twisted, and absolutely hilarious
19 May 1999
Format:Paperback
everybody loves humor, everybody loves food, and, well, there are creeps who don't like penn & teller, but this if one of the funniest things i've ever read, i learned every trick in the book and life is neeeeeever boring. the two best parts, in my opinion: teller's bit on the great egg drop and penn's story of a milkshake as self-defense. worth every penny.
