Information |
| The
magic team of Penn Jillette, the tall one, and Teller (just Teller,
no other name), star in their first prime time network special. It has been said that
one should not attempt to duplicate the seemingly effortless tricks they perform
i.e., letting a Mack truck run over them and eating fire. It takes a lot of skill and practice
to perform their particular brand of daring magic. |
