@@oliverholmes-gunning5372 Houdini's illusions were also gimmicked in a way where he was also never in any real danger. He died of a gut punch, which wasn't actually part of a magic trick. Plus, Penn & Teller are very famously critical of magic tricks or illusions where someone is in danger of being really hurt, because they say it violates the pact the performer has with the audience; they give consent to see a magic trick, but not consent to see someone get hurt.

@@billyeveryteen7328 That's true; I was using Houdini for convenience since he is the most famous magician to have died while performing (even though as you say technically it wasn't a magic trick).

I think you would like the movie "penn and teller get killed"
Just made the realization why teller doesn't talk. Conan barely pays attention to him the entire act, which lets him get away with assisting the act without Conan noticing.
In an interview with Penn, he once told a story of how they did this in one of their shows, but the woman they got on stage just threw the knife immediately, before they even had a change to explain the rules (she just thought the magnets would work like they said). Apparently Penn was able to jump out of the way in time but he said he was pretty angry lol.

he started out as a carnie before moving to stage magic. it's where he picked up the fire eating and stuff like that. i think he did time as the carnival barker, so he's familiar with the sort of vaudevillian style comedy and how to play to the crowd. Teller is the real prototypical magician of the two, with an unhealthy love of classic magicians/escape artists like houdini and an almost encyclopedic knowledge of golden age magic acts and gimmicks. teller's "eating needles and thread" trick is an updated version of one of houdini's often repeated acts. penn is the face ,the loud showman that knows how to draw in a crowd and how to improv his way through the unexpected, teller is the mastermind, the quiet brains of the operation who gets away with everything without any suspicion due to his polite and stoic demeanor.

Penn & Teller have a rule that they never do a trick that is any more dangerous than sitting on your couch at home. Otherwise the audience becomes complicit in unnecessary risk to human life. I don't believe Conan knew the nature of the trick, but I do think he was assured that he would be safe.

I love the quiet unassuming, yet essential and legit power of Penn who does his part like a Boss. You don't really see how much he's doing as a showman till the second viewing. Teller is a case study in pitch perfect delivery as his role in distraction. But Penn, he is thee master class in subtlety and nuance. What a duo.
