Penn and Teller are not averse to complimenting their illusions with a touch of comedy - beyond that, they're also more than happy to break the magician's code and reveal how they pull of their illusions. They have performed extensively for many years, but few of their acts have managed to top their magic bullet routine - it's a variation on a familiar act, but in this case they each fire a bullet at one another, the projectile smashing through glass before being caught in each other's mouths. Things didn't go so smoothly for a number of prior magicians to attempt this trick, with more than a few getting it wrong and ending up dead. 17th century illusionist Coulew of Lorraine perhaps suffered the worst fate - he was beaten to death with his own gun by an irate assistant in 1613. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjDcARq8ty8
