> [@Stink Fish Pot](#): > > But I saw them recently on two programs. One was the HBO series BULLSHIT!, and the other wasna show that they were judges for. I think the people came on stage and did a magic trick. If they stumped P&T, they won a prize or something. [nitpick] Showtime, not HBO. [/nitpick] I LOVED Bullshit. But I hate Showtime so I went with HBO. Haven’t seen it in a few seasons. Is it still on?? Caught their Vegas show. It was great. Sometimes they do standard magic, then show you how it’s done. I loved that they are available after every show for pictures, handshakes and autographs. I am one the lonely few who actually watched and enjoyed their film **“Penn and Teller get killed”** ---

I might be the only one who remembers and like _Penn and Teller’s Invisible Thread_. Just found that the whole thing is on Youtube in four parts.

Just found that the whole thing is on Youtube in four parts. [Part One.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD2B_5ayeeM) Thanks. I never saw “Invisible Thread” before. I liked the first part, where they were acting like a couple of sleazeballs ripping off the little kid. ---
