Teller is one the best performers I have ever seen and my inspiration to get to this art. I got to admit, the show "Penn and Teller : fool us shouldn't be seen by layman. It makes our art to be perceived as just deception, secrets, and methods. It also creates the illusion of "me against you". Look at the name
"Fool us", layman will take this
to mean what we do is all about "fooling". Yes, fooling is one part of our performance but it isn't the core or the most important part. Watch how Penn reacts when a performer
"fools him", he acts like he is disappointed. Again layman interprets this to mean you have lost when you don't know how something is done and win when you know.I could go on and on why I don't like this show but I think this
is enough for now.
