- I just watched a 1/2 hour TV program in which P&T basically
- do items from their new book (How to Play with Your Food) and
- push the book. With respect to one of their tricks they said
- "It's so easy that even Copperfield could do it ..." and then
- in a fast undertone added "without camera cuts."
-
- Later the host asked if they were worried about magicians
- getting upset about their explaining magic in their book, and
- the reply was along the lines of, "So they get upset, what can
- they do - they're a bunch of magicians. Now if the Hell's
- Angels got upset about something in the book, we'd take it out
- right away."
