Customer Reviews

Good stuff!

I just got my copy of "How to Play in Traffic" and was awake looooong into the night reading it (and often laughing outloud!). Apparently, judging from a couple of the reviews, some people thought this was supposed to be a book on performing magic tricks and were disappointed. But having read the other Penn & Teller books, I was very pleased to find the book was sooooo much more -- the hilarious anecdotes, the funny prose, the wonderful pictures. If you're in to P & T, this books is a pleaser! :-)

a *wonderful* thing to torture people with

even if you're not the hugest p & t fan (ha!) i swear on ron jeremy you'll start to fall in love after reading this book....besides some pretty dang good (well, entertaining) stories and twisted insights, you'll find a plethora o' tricks and scams that give life a nice, zany twist (it also makes people very afraid of you, which can be a very fun thing). penn's story about comedy timing and teller's bit on the mutter museum are two of my favorites. buy the goshdarn book!!!

What a great book!

This is the first Penn and Teller book that I have read, and it was awesome. It was very funny. The tricks were really cool (it's amazing what people will believe), and Penn's social commentary was insightful. This book was fun to read, I highly reccomend it.

a good trickster book

It was intresting. I thought it was cool how you can trick people that simply, but not be caught. it was perfect in every way since all the tricks you can actually do.

Finally some use for Gideons bibles.

Penn & Teller have added one more hit to their series of "How to ..." books. If you haven't read their previous two books, what the h___ is wrong with you!? Get to it. The bad boys of magic will show you how to have a great time fooling your friends and neighbors into being a bit less gullible in a time when gullibility is the norm. Better than that, Penn & Teller are alcohol free, drug free, and religion free role models for the future. God bless 'em
