Penn & Teller's How to Play in Traffic
by Penn Jillette, Teller, Anthony Loew (Photographer)
While Star Trek fans, role-playing game fans, and even comic book fans
eventually find each other and develop something like social groups, teenage
magicians are, due to the rarity of their particular geek kink, more likely
to remain socially inept than any other group. That isolation and talent
for magic allowed Penn & Teller a great deal of time to devote to
revenge, mayhem, and making others look foolish. Now they share their
techniques, as well as the wisdom one gains from acquiring happiness only
after being ostracized and ridiculed, in Penn & Teller's How to Play
in Traffic. A mixture of tricks you can do in hotel rooms, cars, and planes,
some ill-advised methods for messing with the minds of airport security
personnel, and a series of memoirs of the unusual people they've met on
their B-venue journeys around the world, How to Play in Traffic is not
only funny (as one would expect from Penn & Teller) but also oddly
insightful.
