Bunny and I went to see Penn & Teller live at the Kravis Center for Performing Arts.
We both had a good time watching them from the nosebleed section,
despite having already seen most of their act on television and YouTube
(the only new thing we saw was Penn juggling fire batons (pretty easy according to Penn) and broken wine bottles
(which is hard,
given they're different weights and,
well,
wrist-slittingly sharp)).
We also saw them deal with victims volunteers who,
shall we say,
weren't quite up to speed
(“No, keep your arm up … no, up! Hold it here! No … here!”).
The one trick I was hoping to see was their famous bullet catch,
but alas,
they did not do that trick.
They did,
however,
allow one person in the audience to have their smart phone video record disappearing and reappearing in a dead fish.
Unfortunately,
we didn't get to see the resulting video,
so we still have no idea how that trick was done.
Oh wait …
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
