Yeah, it reveals that some human beings really are
more talented than the most powerful sorceror.  Since
they often go out of their way to show how a trick is
done, Penn & Teller would never have any magical
charges and yet, they still seem to pull off some
bitchin' illusions (like Teller being run over with a
truck.)

On the other hand, some pimply-faced magician is
bending over backward to scrape mojo from the pavement
and getting a sleeve full of pidgeon shit for the
effort.

Hahahaha.  I love it!
