Summary: Sick, messy fun from the bad boys of magic.
Review:
I learned of this book when Penn & Teller appeared on the Larry King show to shamelessly plug it, and my life hasn't been the same since. (I learned every trick in the book, and as it warns, people think I'm *really* a kook.)
This book contains lots of fun, disturbing, money-making, and just plain gross tricks involving food. Learn how to poke a fork in your eye and make it spurt white glop! Do a card trick that will make you feel like James Bond! Learn what it's like to shoot melons with high-powered rifles! Make a pickle glow by literally plugging it into a power socket!
But, a word of warning: a few of the tricks in the book are a little on the dangerous side, meaning that you might get hurt if something goes wrong, or if your conned "friend" gets wise as to how you psychically guessed what he was going to order for dinner.
Overall, this book is a great read, lots of messy fun, well worth giving up your hard earned money to line Penn & Teller's pockets.

Summary: sick, twisted, and absolutely hilarious
Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Summary: a useful book on magic and table manners
Review: 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.
