Well the bear trap needs more weight to set it off otherwise any small animal would set the trap off and become completly useless to the hunter bc of how mangled the corpse would be
Their strong cultural importance for decades will cement them into North American entertainment history. They will be immortalised just like Copperfield. They are truly great magicians.
@@santhonycheng2637 you just said the same thing, burning is just the present participle of burn and burnt is past tense. the fire is not burning itself its always burning something else right? you can't light fire on fire it just makes a bigger fire. just like you can't make water wet is just makes more water.
It's weird when you have grown up watching Penn and Teller, because they "never changed", but seeing them now, wow they look different. (This is one of the shows I have vivid memories of seeing as a kid)
@@Marquis-Sade the floor they are under is hollow and every piece of the space ship is hollow of course abs the floor has little trap doors teller can go through
I thought to myself, "wow, they aged a ton in the span of 10 years", then I realized it wasn't 2000 anymore. So I said to myself, "well, 20 years is reasonable to age that much", and then I realized it's been 31 years.
Not to sound corny but it is so wonderful to see these two still making people smile almost 50 years into there partnership. They truly admire each other and love their craft and performing. We are blessed that they do.
From what I understand, they don't really 'admire' eachother in the way that friends do, and don't really socialize outside of work. They're more like pretty close work colleagues, which is perfectly fine, especially if you've known your colleague and worked alongside them as long as these two. Although Penn has said that he considers Teller to be his best friend
@CoolAndrew89 exactly penn says that shit to keep his ideologies different, best friends don't need to be 100% in people's lives. Teller is very modist, let him be but dont let penn speak for him.penn also says he's way less skilled which is a force itself.
I remember this special, it's around the time I became a Penn and Teller fan. I thought these magicians were so unconventional. They reveal tricks in an entertaining way and don't take themselves serious. They make it clear that magic is magic and that no one has magical powers, they are tricks. So entertaining. Now we are over 30 years later and they are as entertaining as ever.
I agree. It turns from getting impressed by the "magic" and the idea of "not knowing is the fun part" to getting impressed by the performance, just like how we're impressed by well choreographed dance moves and well executed singing performances.
@@GENOSANDIEGO as well the magic secrets revealed which was on in 1997-1998 which was 7 years later. a lot of these i would say are simple tricks. even though magic is supposed to be kept secret, the simplest ones have been reveled after this long while more advance tricks are still secret and new tricks are still being made.
Lowkey the most impressive thing about this special is how they could both take a bite of a *peanut butter and processed cheese* sandwich without grimacing. 😂 Highkey the most impressive trick is how on Earth they managed to fill a BALLOON with BEES.
The best thing about the bear trap trick is that even if Teller screws it up completely, fails the trick, and jams his hand directly into the teeth, he will be fine. those traps are incredibly weak. for a real trap, one that can break bones, you need a special tool to even open the damn things. i suspect even the teeth are foam so he wouldn't even get cut. Penn and Teller make a huge deal that none of their tricks even have a possibility of hurting anyone
They are probably not workers but drones, and drones don't sting. Still, amazing composure, I wouldn't be able to be that casual even if I knew they won't sting me.
I guessed exactly right (with the exception of the material of tire) for the truck trick. I thought the wheels were just going to be deflated with the counter balance making the wheels just roll right over him. I’m honestly kinda proud of myself.
If you look real close you'll see there's a roller just off center on the tractor's axle and an extra tire near the center of the axle on the trailer because the counterweight wasn't enough. The roller was putting down so much ground force they had to lay a piece of steel on top of the pavement so it wouldn't sink in. You can see the steel has flexed and come off the pavement right before the Teller gets up.

Omg, so easy, it's a empty outside wheel, but since there is air in the inside wheel it doesn't look flat (semis have two sets of wheels on the trailer part). The SNL lady was just using a slipknot in both tricks, and the cutting part was her holding the cut area on the end.
Learned from unus annus that breathing in while fire eating can cause you lungs to collapse. Thank you, wish there were more like you. Moments mori, forever.
Penn was that one kid you really didn’t want to invite bc he’d take away all the attention but you knew your friends wouldn’t get along if he wasn’t there😂
I'm so sad that I wasn't able to live the 80s and 90s .. well technically I did live 90s, but I was too young. Wish I was born in like 60s. Look at the way audience reacts in 80s and 90s and compare it to nowdays. Every live event nowdays, needs extreme stage security and barriers, because ppl have no common sense anymore, they would be touching the actors and going on stage without permission ..etc ..etc. Like look at WWE, how in 80s and 90s it was all free, just basic barriers and hidden security, but nowdays there are several security guys literally blocking the audience. it's disgusting... I hate it. anyway I can figure out magic by just thinking how I'd do it. I knew the rocket ship trick was done this way. Also I know the truck trick works (I'm making this comment before they do the trick). This weight is only on ONE side and tyres on other side are inflated. Otherwise it's real, he will literally drive that truck over his chest. It's very well balanced truck and indeed it's very dangerous. Also suspension and springs have to be modified a bit, to make it look like truck is not heavier on one side. EDIT: now that i saw it, it was poorly executed. even the rim was rubber lol and you could clearly see it.
Can we just appreciate the absolute pure chaos of "the bee skit"
32:57 - LMAO
"how many children will tell this to their appointed psychiatrist"
Every animal in Antarctica is stinging me
Was just gonna say this hah
"Skit" is a good word to use here, not really much magic or illusion here.
The performance at 16:23 is so beautiful. It's like they are having a conversation using just the fire.
2:21 penns so tall he stopped 15 feet before teller, and teller had to get caught.
love the early 90s madness
Im was born in 1990☺
craziest thing in this video wasn't any of the tricks....it was that bologna american cheese and peanut butter sandwich....what in the world
The disdain for lettuce.
"I Lied through my teeth, just like you told me to." Best part of the whole video.
Absolutely lmao
I remember watching this when it aired and it blew... my .... mind. I had never heard of them before it. I've been a fan ever since.
It only makes more funny when you see how young they looked here and a advertised commercial for them appears as am watching this
I am obsessed with these two, man their charisma is off the charts…I would love to meet them once before dying
if you go to there show in vegas they do a meet and greet afterwards
That '90's aesthetic is wonderful! Penn got the moves at the beginning:D
Dude the zip line entrance!!!
Wow, at 44:30, Penn and Teller made that guy's shirt sleeves disappear!
First time seeing them so young! Luv those 2 together
question: does anyone know the bgm at 16:25? thank you...
since i know how this is done it's kinda cool to notice how it's done before seeing the reveal, make you feel SUPWEOR!
I'd do anything to go back in time to the early 90s!
Indubitably
Low air in tires
This is great tv. When is the next show? I haven’t watched a one single show for this long without any ads.
2:08 The name of the background music?
they are more agile back in the day
How much did all those thumb tips cost?
Well the bear trap needs more weight to set it off otherwise any small animal would set the trap off and become completly useless to the hunter bc of how mangled the corpse would be
that fake truck tyre was lame I gotta BEE honest
It's great that these two are still going strong in 2020.
That and Penn has got a lot healthier in time which is good

ILLUSIONS @GameTime-yj6qv, tricks are something a whore does for money....or, cocaine.
I honestly see them as educators more than magicians.
I can’t tell if the fire eating was an allegory for sex or drugs
Why not both

Yes.
Penn and Teller iconic. Knowing that teller still moves like that also knowing I'm 23 and my knees shatter when I crouch down is mind blowing

Get ready for your night in heaven!

30:58 walter white on the camera
and at 2:39 is jason segel
Out of context, the shared trick with the audience is almost cult like.
I thought the same thing
I may be wrong but I believe they got that from a small magic village in China. I saw it on the specials they did overseas.
Their showmanship is absolutely amazing 👏 I couldn't ask for more..@ 8:32 you can see how creeped out Victoria gets by Teller..

Of all my years of watching Penn and Teller perform I have learned that you need to be deliberate in life and in art
Don't try this at home
*Do it at your friends home*
Or when it comes to the bees or truck over a person tricks, do it at your enemie's house
So I just noticed after watching this show for like the fifth time, did they take the skin off a kicker and fill it with bees?
Nightmares, but yes
Teller is 42 in this video... FORTY FUCKIN TWO?! He looks like my teenage brother man howwww?
Two words: baby face
