Does anyone else have a problem with Penn and Tellers Cruel Tricks book. I was a little disturbed by
"The Best Magic Trick I Ever Saw." I'm not talking about the dove. I AM talking about the sexual comments about the under aged 15 year old girl in the too tight outfit. Anyone else ... or am I over reacting?

Understandably so, I would think any father of a daughter would have a problem with it.

Yes it is very sad they thought that in the first place let alone put it in the book.
No one said it would be easy, or did they?

Is that even Legal? Just creepy! I'm no saint. I've been in a road band( Rock and Blues) for years but that seems unhealthy.

While we are on the subject of P&T...
With the "Traffic" book does anyone recall which biblical passage is used in the Gideon Bible Iron trick? I have been turning my library upside down looking for the book to no avail. I must have loaned it out to a "non-returner" D |

Never lend your books...
It's a golden rule.

I think you guys are interpreting that passage a bit too literally.

Slim, this doesn't surprise me at all. This unfortunity is considerd common behavior in today's society. It does not make it right. Just take a look at what is available on the internet, look at today's role models for kids. If you notice though, the book was published in 1989 so I guess Penn & Teller can claim that they were ahead of their time..

Yes, never lend out your Bible. God only knows what someone'll do with it. Revelations chapter 17, verses 3, 4, and 17. R

I'm saying I'm much more disturbed by someone who would read an innocent story and think there is something untoward about it than I am by the fact that a 23-year-old Penn Jillette saw a high-school girl in a skimpy outfit and thought she looked hot.

You're disturbed? Hahahaha is this a confession? )) Just messing.
Both sides are right of course. Each from their own unique point of view. Live and let live, how about that?:) |

At 14 the girl is in Junior High where I come from. My daughter is 13. I'm pretty sure that I don't want Penn saying she's HOT and is adding something SEXUAL to ANYONES performance.
Is that OK where you come from?
