@12151998able they are world famous. it's nice taht you've mastered it, but that doesn't make the trick "fun". and their version is genius. it's no longer about the magic, but about the performance.
@troglodyto i n=know that it's about presentation. and i do make it fun, trust me. But i respect your opinion and u r right. It's about the presentation
I'm just curious. Does Teller have a disability or is it just a matter of him not wishing to speak? I found it very strange that he never says anything!
@Coetzeeful What happened was when Teller first started doing magic. He was terrible, and would always get into arguments with people taunting him. He then stopped speaking in his shows, and realised people would heckle him much less. And it caught on.
@speeddemon1226 Tell me how their is no God? Tell that their is no heaven? You can prove nothing either, thats why its faith. I dont want to argue with you just be respectful of others view.
ps
I also like how you cant even state that religion is fake you have to ask with a ?
@reallyletsdoit That's excactly the problem, you can't prove God. There is an infinite amount of things you can't prove, so how do you distinct one thing from another? To do that you use proof and evidence, and there is no proof or evidence for god. Therefor (for now) the logical and rational conclusion: there is no god.
By default there is no god. There is no reason or evidence to believe one exists and therefore is an assertion. The burden of proof is on you. Its up to you to back up your assertion and prove your claims. You cannot "proove" the inexistence of a god just as you cannot proove the inexistence of invisble pink unicorns. However, religion can be falsified which means whatever particular god that is connected to it, can also be falsified. God may be unprovable but YOUR god is!
@conradcoolio Now that is a statement I can respect. While you and many others have been using "facts" from unproven sources, I'm fine respecting your belief if you are doing so for your personal benefit, and for concluding the argument without attacks.
I am a nerd alright, but how can I be a "fuck" and "virgin" at the same time? Amazing to see so much hatred in a musician like you. I thought musicians appreciated the viewpoints of others. Sad.
i like how people say ' oh its so obvious how he did that he just slides it under crap trick'' in a video where they show you what they do haha you guys are well smart and how can a simple slight of hand trick start up a massive argument of religion you believe he doesnt get over it isnt the main thing of christianity turn the other cheek?? argue on real forums leave the comments for comment about this....... these guys are fantastic showmen i would love to see them live
i was wondering have there every been any magic ticks that have never been found out how they are done and have there ever been any magician that have died with great tricks and not told any1 so they are lost forever. just wondering
Check out Andre Kole. He is far more sophisticated than these two who are akin to the three stooges (the fat one counts for two of the stooges). The brains behind their act is also the brains behind criss angel...johnny thompson.
Let me get this straight, Penn and Teller's act was a warm up for the main event Carrot Top? It's like holding a heavy weight pro boxing match in preparation for the finals of Bum Fights.
Gotta love those real potatos, as opposed to those damn fake chinese potatos, they look real they smell real but when you take a bite all you get is tofu and chinese newspaper.
When Penn and Teller produce potatos under cups, people applaud their skills and call them magicians and have a good laugh. But when one guy produced wine from water 2000 years ago in a similar performance, the ancestors of these very same people called him divine. Why so? Is 2000 years the difference between miracle and magic?
@MrSigma It wasn't just 2000 years ago. There are still people do trick people and claim it's divine or supernatural forces. The difference is that penn&teller tell you they're going to fool you, you pay them money, and they fool you and you go home entertained knowing you've been fooled. Psychics, astrologers etc lie and claim they have supernatural powers and take your money, and you go home thinking you paid for a legitimate service, but in fact you've been scammed. That's the difference.
@MrSigma Raising people from the dead, feeding thousands from food meant for one person, curing every disease and hurt imaginable and spreading love, tolerance, and forgiveness is what made Jesus divine, you Christianity hating asshole. Oh, and coming back to life after being crucified, dead and buried sorta counts as being divine as well. People come to see a youtube video of Penn and Teller doing their thing and you have to pollute it by insulting religion. Way to go. Do you feel all superior?
Looks like abusing others by calling them as "assholes" is your true "Christian" virtue ! I have not abused anyone in my comment but you have shown your true fanatical nature by personally attacking me. As for me poluting this video is considered, your comment is completely non-sequitur. Since all observed "miracles" are nothing but magic tricks performed by magicians, we can safely conclude that Jesus along with all prophets and gurus who showed "miracles" were all tricksters !
Recounting biblical tales of fantasies does not make them genuine. It only shows that your mind is trapped in tales of childhood indoctrination. A small lollipop was given to you in your childhood and you still hold on to it like a kid. Also, correlating magic tricks of a bygone era with those of modern illusionists is not called polluting videos.
Yes, religion does pollute young minds by enslaving them into perpetual slavery. Prove your claims with evidence.
@hellbound102 - So when the Bible says he turned water to wine, and it suits your point, it's true. But when it says he was gruesomely whipped, beaten and hung on a cross, able to count all his own bones and unrecognizable as a man, it's untrue.
And with no intention of sounding rude, this isn't your argument. I was talking to MrSigma.
@Dan00bindahouse ok, first off, i said nothing about water into wine you ignorant fool, second off, christianity is not to be shoved down peoples throat through arguments or force, its called free choice, read the bible, its in there, furthermore, i am not here to argue that Jesus doesn't exist, im only saying your examples are crap, you cannot prove Jesus exist by quoting miracles written in the bible, because if somebody doesn't believe in him they wont believe the bible
@hellbound102 - You will speak to me respectfully or not at all. To call someone a fool is to say they have nothing to do with God, and I will not be spoken to that way.
Now, as I said, MrSigma WAS referencing the bible in his post. Read it and then come back here. But do it respectfully.
@Dan00bindahouse Pffft, who the fuck do you think you are to be giving people orders over the internet? Just read your post and try to comprehend the self-importance and arrogance you exude. It doesn't matter how you want people to talk to you, you will get talked to however we fucking want. Suck it, fool.
@MrSigma You're close. It's 2000 years of science and education. These guys could probably be earning six figures working a day a week as con men, instead they work their asses off six nights a week at the Rio, their hit series "Bullshit" et al. We should be thankful. I'm sure they are.
Figures someone had to bring Jesus in to it eventually.
If Penn & Teller aren't even remembered in 2000 years, you'll know perfectly well then why, 2000 years after Jesus did his tricks, he isn't remembered.
@MrSigma I think the same thing....even his resurection, could have been staged with a double. I think the 7 angels were instrumental in perpetuating/executing the miracles...
Why must I shut up? Using what authority do you ask me to shut up? Please justify your reasons for asking me to shut up. Are they religious reasons? If so, has your religion made you so insecure that you are compelled to say "shut up" to those that do not agree with you? If not, then you asking me to shut up is in itself an irreligious act. Either way, you have no right to ask me to shut up. Internet is a free zone for people to express their opinions.
@MrSigma I am a child. I am a christian. How does that make me hateful? I'm 17 years old, and at the store I work at I was running register, plenty of Muslims shop there. I had one man from Jordan there. Don't tell me that we're hateful towards others. It's the opposite. If anything, stubborn atheists are exponentially more hateful, preaching about how it's wrong to shove religion down peoples throats, while if you look at it, their the ones doing just that. Granted... some Christians are over t
I never said that all Christians are hateful towards others. I have well meaning Christian friends myself. Nowhere in my original comment have I said anything that should offend anyone. But overall I am continuously getting hateful messages from some fanatics here. To the atheistic mind, it appears obvious to correlate the so called miracles of a bygone era with illusionist tricks of the modern magicians. But those obsessed with Christianity cannot take that and hence so much hate.
@MrSigma he top, but there is always going to be the select few who give the others bad names. Same for atheists. Christians. Jews. Muslims. Hindu's. ALL people. Of all beliefs or lack of. So, with all due respect, fuck off.
If you are not hateful why would you and others personally attack me for an innocuous comment? If you read all the messages in the correct order, you will find that I never initiated a verbal attack on anyone. But my mailbox is getting full with hateful messages from fanatics and hence had to reply sternly. Still, I have not used a single expletive or personally abusive remark on anyone. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I have full freedom to express my views without fear.
@MrSigma Nice theory but 45 angry Christians thumbs you down im not christian so ill have to think about that was there a magician 2000 years ago who went by the name jesus who was fooling people who knows?
@MrSigma this is a trick, Jesus was devine and used the power of God to help him, this is just trickery, fooling the eyes. talk back to me when someone else turns water into wine
The very fact that a claim has been made that someone turned water into wine puts the performer of this act in the same league as magicians and illusionists. This is because water and wine have separate chemical compositions and cannot be interchanged unless there was sleight of hand. Also, you know of this story only though a book and hence there is no objective basis on which it should be termed as legitimate. You do it out of faith which by definition lacks reason.
@MrSigma i assume you are an athiest correct? The big bang THEORY hasn't been proved by science either. hense its called a THEORY, so u believe by faith aswell.
The word theory is used in a different sense in science than the way it is used by common people. A theory is the best possible explanation of facts that can be supported by demonstrable evidence. Since infinite arbitrary claims can be made about the nature of reality (by different religions), only those that are supported by experimental proof should be held admissible. Till now, there is no evidence for any religion but overwhelming evidence for theory of evolution and BigBang.
Oh ignorant little child. Do you know what the word "theory" means in scientific terms? gravity is also a THEORY.. but if you don't believe, i invite you to go to the edge of a nearest cliff, jump, and see if you fly.
If you are 14 then you are very young and you should have said that earlier. Anyways, because of your age I will not discuss this topic with you anymore and I hope that you find happiness in whatever you do in your life.
Having said that, people change all the time. In fact most atheists were religious in their childhood but as they grew up they educated themselves with science and the futility of religion was obvious. Science is based on evidence and not on faith. Thank you.
If god had the physical capability of "creating" science.. what is the mechanism that allowed him to have that physical capability? he gave himself that ability? well that makes as much sense as saying he created his own existence. That ability was always embedded into his mechanism? well then that means he IS bound by some physical law/limitation which renders the word god as "meaningless" .
@plejarenmasterrace see we have the misconception that everything has to be created, because in our world everything has a beginning. God is not bound by this or any other worldly conceptions
No, YOU have the misconception that the universe had to have a brain behind it, and time and time again that notion has been rendered improbable and absurd. This "god" you speak of, if your gonna give it human characteristics, then it CAN be accountable to the laws of physics and rendered impossible. The 'argument' (if ya wanna call it that) you made for the eternal existence of god, i can make the exact same case for the eternal existence of energy which caused the big bang.
You havent made an intelligble argument other than "it just does, and you wont understand because your brain isnt designed to". BULLSHIT. This is basically a get out of jail free card and allows to get out of not answering, because you dont actually have an answer.
eg, me- "explain to me how santa travels around the world in just 12 hours when it takes that amount of time to get to australia from the north pole, alone" you- "he just does, his conception of time in reality is different to yours" That is an example of one of your answers to me. Not intellifent, and you don;t have an actual worth while argument.
Not to mention. There are so many pertaining flaws and random imperfections in nature and the universe, that it also falsifies the notion of an "infallible" "perfect" god.. how can perfection create such blatant and ugly imperfection? a miscalculaton?
@plejarenmasterrace if you've ever read the bible u would realize that this is a stupid question. before sin everything was perfect, but when adam and eve sinned they created a barrier between God and us. God could have started over but because he is a just God he didn't make us robots
Oh here we go. Yes, because a rib-women who was convinced by a talking snake to eat an apple, that god had planted there purposely, took a hissy fit and therefore future generations of babies deserve to be born with cancer and aids. Yep. Im done responding to you now you little 14 year old retard.
@MrSigma well i am not the conformant of youth these days. im a strong christian believer and i am very active in the church. and even if God doesn't exist, being a christian betters my life and that is a fact
i saw the EXACT same thing on Jonathan ross

@MrSigma It wasn't just 2000 years ago. There are still people do trick people and claim it's divine or supernatural forces.

I have not abused anyone in my comment but you have shown your true fanatical nature by personally attacking me. As for me poluting this video is considered, your comment is completely non-sequitur. Since all observed "miracles" are nothing but magic tricks performed by magicians, we can safely conclude that Jesus along with all prophets and gurus who showed "miracles" were all tricksters !

Continuing further,
Recounting biblical tales of fantasies does not make them genuine. It only shows that your mind is trapped in tales of childhood indoctrination. A small lollipop was given to you in your childhood and you still hold on to it like a kid. Also, correlating magic tricks of a bygone era with those of modern illusionists is not called polluting videos.
Yes, religion does pollute young minds by enslaving them into perpetual slavery. Prove your claims with evidence.

@MrSigma Did they supposedly raise from the dead?

@MrSigma - Um, what are you talking about?
I have yet to see Penn and Teller, David Blaine, or Criss Angel raise the dead, or come back to life after three days after being brutally murdered.
Just saying. If Jesus was an illusionist, he was a dang good one.

@hellbound102 - So when the Bible says he turned water to wine, and it suits your point, it's true. But when it says he was gruesomely whipped, beaten and hung on a cross, able to count all his own bones and unrecognizable as a man, it's untrue.
And with no intention of sounding rude, this isn't your argument. I was talking to MrSigma.
Dan00bindahouse 8 months ago
@Dan00bindahouse ok, first off, i said nothing about water into wine you ignorant fool, second off, christianity is not to be shoved down peoples throat through arguments or force, its called free choice, read the bible, its in there, furthermore, i am not here to argue that Jesus doesn't exist, im only saying your examples are crap, you cannot prove Jesus exist by quoting miracles written in the bible, because if somebody doesn't believe in him they wont believe the bible
hellbound102 8 months ago
@hellbound102 - You will speak to me respectfully or not at all. To call someone a fool is to say they have nothing to do with God, and I will not be spoken to that way.
Now, as I said, MrSigma WAS referencing the bible in his post. Read it and then come back here. But do it respectfully.

@Dan00bindahouse Pffft, who the fuck do you think you are to be giving people orders over the internet? Just read your post and try to comprehend the self-importance and arrogance you exude.

Otherwise, arguing is pointless, as it only leads to chaos.
Now I suggest you leave alone the arguments that don't concern you.

If Penn & Teller aren't even remembered in 2000 years, you'll know perfectly well then why, 2000 years after Jesus did his tricks, he isn't remembered.

Why must I shut up? Using what authority do you ask me to shut up? Please justify your reasons for asking me to shut up. Are they religious reasons? If so, has your religion made you so insecure that you are compelled to say "shut up" to those that do not agree with you? If not, then you asking me to shut up is in itself an irreligious act. Either way, you have no right to ask me to shut up. Internet is a free zone for people to express their opinions.

@MrSigma I am a child. I am a christian. How does that make me hateful? I'm 17 years old, and at the store I work at I was running register, plenty of Muslims shop there. I had one man from Jordan there. Don't tell me that we're hateful towards others. It's the opposite. If anything, stubborn atheists are exponentially more hateful, preaching about how it's wrong to shove religion down peoples throats, while if you look at it, their the ones doing just that. Granted... some Christians are over t
Axion3812 7 months ago
@Axion3812
I never said that all Christians are hateful towards others. I have well meaning Christian friends myself. Nowhere in my original comment have I said anything that should offend anyone. But overall I am continuously getting hateful messages from some fanatics here. To the atheistic mind, it appears obvious to correlate the so called miracles of a bygone era with illusionist tricks of the modern magicians. But those obsessed with Christianity cannot take that and hence so much hate.
MrSigma 7 months ago
@MrSigma he top, but there is always going to be the select few who give the others bad names. Same for atheists. Christians. Jews. Muslims. Hindu's. ALL people. Of all beliefs or lack of. So, with all due respect, fuck off.
Axion3812 7 months ago
@Axion3812
If you are not hateful why would you and others personally attack me for an innocuous comment? If you read all the messages in the correct order, you will find that I never initiated a verbal attack on anyone. But my mailbox is getting full with hateful messages from fanatics and hence had to reply sternly. Still, I have not used a single expletive or personally abusive remark on anyone. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I have full freedom to express my views without fear.

conradcoolio 7 months ago
@conradcoolio
The very fact that a claim has been made that someone turned water into wine puts the performer of this act in the same league as magicians and illusionists. This is because water and wine have separate chemical compositions and cannot be interchanged unless there was sleight of hand. Also, you know of this story only though a book and hence there is no objective basis on which it should be termed as legitimate. You do it out of faith which by definition lacks reason.
MrSigma 7 months ago
@MrSigma i assume you are an athiest correct? The big bang THEORY hasn't been proved by science either. hense its called a THEORY, so u believe by faith aswell.
conradcoolio 7 months ago
@conradcoolio
The word theory is used in a different sense in science than the way it is used by common people. A theory is the best possible explanation of facts that can be supported by demonstrable evidence. Since infinite arbitrary claims can be made about the nature of reality (by different religions), only those that are supported by experimental proof should be held admissible. Till now, there is no evidence for any religion but overwhelming evidence for theory of evolution and BigBang.

Oh ignorant little child. Do you know what the word "theory" means in scientific terms? gravity is also a THEORY.. but if you don't believe, i invite you to go to the edge of a nearest cliff, jump, and see if you fly.

If you are 14 then you are very young and you should have said that earlier. Anyways, because of your age I will not discuss this topic with you anymore and I hope that you find happiness in whatever you do in your life.
Having said that, people change all the time. In fact most atheists were religious in their childhood but as they grew up they educated themselves with science and the futility of religion was obvious. Science is based on evidence and not on faith. Thank you.

@conradcoolio
When have you ever heard the word faith being used to describe NOT blieving in something? "I have faith that goblins and fairies do not exist" ?
Probability and logic tell me that a god doesn't exist. They are made of facts not guesses or maybes. No faith is needed.

If god had the physical capability of "creating" science.. what is the mechanism that allowed him to have that physical capability? he gave himself that ability? well that makes as much sense as saying he created his own existence. That ability was always embedded into his mechanism? well then that means he IS bound by some physical law/limitation which renders the word god as "meaningless" .
plejarenmasterrace 6 months ago
@plejarenmasterrace see we have the misconception that everything has to be created, because in our world everything has a beginning. God is not bound by this or any other worldly conceptions

No, YOU have the misconception that the universe had to have a brain behind it, and time and time again that notion has been rendered improbable and absurd. This "god" you speak of, if your gonna give it human characteristics, then it CAN be accountable to the laws of physics and rendered impossible. The 'argument' (if ya wanna call it that) you made for the eternal existence of god, i can make the exact same case for the eternal existence of energy which caused the big bang.
