Apparently Penn had throat troubles once and could barely speak and the doctor checking him out realized his voice box is just shredded from yelling all the time. Went on stage anyway, just had the doctor give him a steroids shot to the neck to get rid of the inflammation, and was back to normal a few days later, ‘normal’ being still teetering on the edge of permanently losing his voice

Americans have more of the "V" sound and often pronounce the "T" more like "d" sound.. vaader ° accents too can be exasperating.. especially if English is one's second language and one watched both British and American TV shows. i myself often end up pronouncing things weirdly. many Brits often a typical twang to towards the end of words which (to me) sounds like the "R" sound. they might (want to) say India.. but it sounds like Indi-R (Indiaar) ° back in India, we've weirdly come up with terms, where none exist/existed. so, we have postpone.. but we invented "prepone" too! (o.O)😏 ° and most desis wikipedia.org/wiki/Desi invariably use the word "revert" out of context. many of us use it when we actually mean "to get back" or "to respond" :( #smh ° so i often get requests to e-mail the queries, to which the other person would _revert_ (to) by the end of the day/week!😕😁 #sigh

I first saw Penn and Teller in 1981 at the Texas Renaissance Festival. I was working with a soft drink distributor. When I had some time I would come from back stage and walked out and saw several of their magic shows. I saw the needle and the string trick. Boy I had never seen anything in my life like that. Penn and Teller was getting their act started back in those days. The next week I took my SLR camera and got some really great pictures of them.

they still do this trick in 2023 godbless them

I was 2 weeks old. Cool.

Holy cow - watching this made me understand the full trajectory of Penn's voice. First a more natural voice. Second, the boisterous show voice he is most famous for. And third, the warn out voice that must be damaged from years of voice number 2.

Perfect guests for letterman

9:32 It contains the hit single "Everybody is young". That sounds fitting for this old video where everyone is so much younger. The question is just how they knew we would watch this 34 years later? :P

When I think of magic, I think of "A Magician named Gob" on arrested development. I worked for fifteen years building magic tricks and gimmicks. I know or can figure out how almost any trick is done, and the entire pretense of it whether, "Ya wanna see a card trick?" or "Let's bring out Lydia my voluptuous assistant.." is incredibly embarrassing and cringeworthy. With Penn and Teller it really is a slap in the face to all that crap, and it becomes interesting and hilarious.
