Got a hankering to see Penn & Teller's Casey at the Bat classic...I saw it a-way back in '85 (yep, I'm old) on PBS, happened to flip to it just as they were starting the segment. And I've never forgotten it-- or the freshness of a performer seemingly just dicking over his partner (or trying to). But anyway. Found it on youtube, and read this comment:
"Penn is a very good magician in his own right. He is better on his own than many professional magicians. You don't spend 35 years working with Teller without becoming a good magician on your own. But, odd fact, Penn is the better palmer. Why you ask. Have you seen his hands? He could palm his own head."
Sleep deprived that I am, that last sentence was the funniest fucking thing in the world to me right then. Laughed so hard I hurt myself. So thanks, buddyholly24 on youtube.
