Penn and Teller

Penn and Teller are a two-man magic and comedy team, specializing in gory tricks (in which the mechanisms of the illusions are fully revealed) and clever pranks, who have become associated with Las Vegas, skepticism and libertarianism. They call themselves ?a couple of eccentric guys who have learned how to do a few cool things.? http://www.pennandteller.com/03/coolstuff/bio.html
