Penn & Teller/December 11,1992/Burlington,VT

Penn & Teller is a duo of comedic magicians. They pull off wild illusions while being humorous at the same time. I first saw them on Saturday Night Live back in the 1980s. Penn is very talkative while Teller remains silent.

It was very exciting to see them at The Flynn Theatre. I have almost no memories of their performance,but I DO recall that they had a set break. Penn (the one who talks) jumped off the stage and walked to the back of the theatre and chatted with fans for the entire intermission. For some reason he was telling a fan that he could eat a meal off the top of his head. (?!?) I could think of nothing to say to him,so I just watched. Without missing a beat,the intermission ended,and Penn walked right back onstage and proceeded with the 2nd half of the show. A fun night.
