I thought they said no plants or 'unfair' tricks are allowed - of course misdirection and lying could be part of it. Having JR do a simple switch would be a bit of an anticlimax IMO.

In the pilot they had an adjudicator who knew how the trick was done, and decided whether Penn and Teller were fooled. I guess, although they seem not to talk about him anymore, he's still there.

Saw them in Vegas a few years back - excellent. And they hang around after the show and talk to the punters, which is nice.

No. Always liked their stuff.

Thought the little boy was good for his age.
