Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

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 retarded 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 screwing 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.

Review

...their brilliant brand of carny-inspired hucksterism does not always translate to the page. So Penn Jillette--the voice of the duo--wisely intersperses the scams with surprisingly heartfelt essays about his cranky personal obsessions. -- The New York Times Book Review, Judith Newman

Penn & Teller's How to Play in Traffic

I love Penn & Teller, but this book was disappointing. Pretty boring, not very interesting or entertaining. Mostly just disjointed rambling.

These are perfect for teens and young adults that are interested in magic shows. These books show their quirky sense of humor.

Funny guys. Their jokes rival top comediannes. Their magic is great. Some of their jokes are a little off color but have to have thick skin. Penn is such a classy guy.
