CinemaOfTheDead Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 This show is great in the first viewing through but it's still good just because of the magicians and penny as the show is very scripted and ruins the fun if you know the script as well(watched it 3 times and feel like im done) so if you haven't watch it at least once please do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Cogstein Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I was not able to see the show on the final night. but i did get to talk to Tyler, Karl, and the naked mentalist. we chatted and got a picture together. we asked them about the show and how much work it must have been. they gave a intersting answer. "Actually, it was no work at all. We love doing the magic and everything. Just playing around and that we are getting payed for playing around with the magic tricks we do. Though now it sucks we have to stop playing and go back to the real world." So yeah, they said if universal asked them back they would gladly accept. They were only able to do one half of their show. they still have a other half. They just chose their favorite tricks to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love love the finale! tricks I did not like: naked mentalist guessing audience, the staple guns, the breaking the block. the staple guns trick I do not like because you know he is not going to get hit, I don't know how the trick is done but it's just kinda meh, same with the mentalist guessing things from people, don't really like that one. these guys are awesome. I loved their attitude so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved their attitude so much. I'm gonna let you in on a secret i guess. the staple gun did go off one night on karls hand. the safety was off and Tyler forgot to check. so Karl got a staple in the hand. How the Trick works: All staple guns are loaded. The safety is on, because the saftey is on they only fire air. they are all loaded, but he only shows one that is. so that way no matter what gun is left, he switches off the safety and staples the map to the front. The finale has gone wrong a couple times too. like Tyler won the race one time even though Karl pushed him over. the fault is on the guests that got picked. They barely tied up Tyler and assembled the straight jacket completely wrong. so Karl got stuck in it. still a good show though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panacea Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'm beginning to wonder, was I the only guy that found Penny to be really annoying? The tricks were generic, yes, but the jokes that she said through the show sounded forced and got really stupid after a bit. Like, that one part where she would get all happy and yell when Karl kept saying the word "head", that was a big eye - roller for me. I know it was supposed to come off this way, but Penny just came off as desperate with the overload of sex jokes. I'm fine with sex jokes, but it got old really quickly when it seemed she was trying to hard. Don't get me wrong, the Woman is a great actress (is she the one who plays The Bride of Frankenstein's Monster in the Beetlejuice show during the day? ) but I just don't think that she was good in THIS particular role. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else? yes sir, you are the only one lol Penny was amazing and she was the only reason I did the show so many times, Like I said the tricks for me were not that great so it was the two guys and Penny that made this show good and the reason I saw it 4 times Penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackrose602 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I'm beginning to wonder, was I the only guy that found Penny to be really annoying? Well, I'm female, so my opinion doesn't entirely count. But my dad, a male friend and a male cousin said the same thing. It just seemed like she was too over the top in this character--if she had toned it down a couple of notches, it could have been really good. I was glad to hear that she's not normally with 20 Penny. I have a friend who hangs out with the 20 Penny guys sometimes, and she says their regular show is actually pretty refined and a lot better than what they did at Universal. So I'm curious to see it sometime. This definitely wasn't a must-do for me, but I enjoyed it overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not criticizing them of course but the trick itself, it is just not really cool because I kinda knew. is funny but Brian Brushwood had some better tricks, I Love these guys much much more than I did him, but I have to admit his tricks were better.

Doctor Cogstein Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I know lol, I was not sure since he kept moving all the way until it got cut, I kept thinking... How? How is that done??? then I searched and found it whats funny is i have seen when the trick went wrong. the blade came down but did not push him down, so he had to lay still. they still pulled the dollar out of the basket. the lights went out right after that. the workers freaked out while Tyler was calm as could be. Karl was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarrbear Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 So that begs the question about the $ bill tho. I can't answer that question but that was my dollar bill one night. Needless to say, it's still covered in blood and in the ziplock bag. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justman1020 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Picture please? I have a theory on how it's done but I would need to see the $ bill before and after the show. I have a feeling there is a bait and switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarrbear Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Currently at the moment I cannot locate the bill, but I do have these photos, they aren't the greatest quality though. (I have such beautiful handwriting. Mhmmmm.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justman1020 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I'm gonna say when he goes to "swallow" the bill he doesn't actually swallow, spits into the bottle he "sips" from, then when he passes It to "penny" is it? She preps it for the finally. Boom. Fully exposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackrose602 Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Of course your opinion matters, everyone's does. Glad I'm not alone on this one. Did you see the show? If so, what did YOU think of Penny? The show as well? I did see the show a few times. I liked it, but I didn't love it. I found Penny a bit eye roll-inducing...most of her material was okay to pretty good, but her delivery was So. Freaking. Deliberate. My thoughts: Stop over-enunciating, speak at a normal pace rather than slowing it down unnaturally, relax a little and trust the audience to follow along. I thought the rest of the show was pretty good. The tricks were fairly standard/easy to figure out, but I really liked both Tyler and Carl. Their presentation was a lot more natural than Penny's, and it looked like they had a good partnership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
