  3. Great meeting #PennJillette yesterday at his "Felony Juggler" book signing at Book Passage in Corte Madera. Delighted he recognized me from (virtually) attending his Penn's Sunday School podcast recordings (pennsundayschool.com).

    (I'd also met #PennAndTeller briefly after they performed in Chicago 35 years ago, but didn't expect him to remember that 😉 )

  5. Penn of "Penn and Teller" on why he no longer calls himself a "Libertarian"

    "I completely have not used the word Libertarian in describing myself since I got an email during lockdown where a person from a Libertarian organization wrote to me and said, “We’re doing an anti-mask demonstration in Vegas, and obviously we’d like you to head it.” I looked at that email and I went, “The fact they sent me this email is something I need to be very ashamed of, and I need to change.” Now, you can make the argument that maybe you don’t need to mandate masks — you can make the argument that maybe that shouldn’t be the government's job — but you cannot make the argument that you shouldn’t wear masks. It is the exact reciprocal of seatbelts because if I don’t wear a seatbelt, my chances of fucking myself up increase — if I don’t wear a mask, the chance of fucking someone else up increase.

    Many times when I identified as Libertarian, people said to me, “It’s just rich white guys that don’t want to be told what to do,” and I had a zillion answers to that — and now that seems 100 percent accurate."

  9. When I looked up to check on the hotel clerks whereabouts, I saw on another side of the three sided desk, Teller of Penn and Teller watching me with great surprise.

    I think he already knew how the thumb removal trick was done though.

    But he knows I did not see him approach the desk, and the fact that a grown ass man was even entertaining himself in such a fashion, coincident with his profession, apparently left him a bit gobsmacked.

    The feeling was mutual.

  10. Penn and Teller had a magic trick anyone could do, pull on others, by using a dedicated website they published in one of their books.

    However I never got the website to work, 4O4 or something, and I wonder if the actual trick was on me?

    Does anyone else remember this website? The book was Penn and Teller’s Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends, I think.

  14. What do you think of magic? MTG?

    Let's find out if there's a #correlation!

    Seriously, please answer this very short survey:

    forms.gle/6xEzuSgVahwh4eL58

    Do you like magic? People tricking you, maybe on a screen, stage, or even the street? Do you watch it much?

    Do you like MTG, the CCG game from 1993? Have you played it? Do you want to?

    I'm thinking of the scale as:
    1 - REALLY hate
    2 - hate
    3 - dislike
    4 - neutral
    5 - like
    6 - love !
    7 - REALLY LOVE

  17. I am a fan of magic.
    And a fan of comedy.

    Which automatically makes me a fan of Penn and Teller.

    This is a pretty great trick. I have NO idea how this was done, but I am entertained.

  19. Had a blast watching Penn & Teller last night and I got to participate too! I read out the audience guesses for how many jellybeans were in a carafe in the Wisdom of the Crowd act, and went onstage for the finale where they made an African Spotted Pygmy Elephant disappear 😄 #PennAndTeller #Magic

  25. Good to have a variety of experiences.

    I've watched live WWF professional wrestling in Madison Square Garden, and listened to opera. I've enjoyed steak and sushi, and nasty, melted "cheese product" nachos. I've attended #BlackHat and #Defcon and #BurningMan. I've heard #Hawking "speak" and saw #PennAndTeller off off Broadway, long before Vegas. I've climbed the Statue of Liberty, and seen the catacombs under Paris.

    Now, I can say I've seen #MonsterJam live. Monster trucks in the rain and mud.
