The new season will insure that the boys hold the record for the longest running show in Showtime history.

A new round of “guess the upcoming season of Bullsh!t’s topics” has popped up and we can probably add Speech In School to the list. According to the blog of Kentucky State Representative Stacey Campfield (R-Knoxville) Showtime is coming to interview him about a bill that prohibits the teaching of homosexuality in school:
Showtime is coming to shoot some video of me talking about the bill to keep teachers from teaching about homosexuality to young children.
The video should air on “Penn and Tellers B.S.” Show in coming weeks.

The dancing talk show host and American Idol panelist Ellen Degeneres has become contested territory for magicians. For example, according to her Twitter today after featuring Australian magician James Galea, protestors made sure the daytime titan saw their message in favor of Goldfinger and Dove.
We are sure this is spontaneous and not going to resolve itself with a Goldfinger and Dove appearance. /sarcasm
In all seriousness, is there a better friend to magic on television then Ellen right now? Also if you want to check out James Galea’s Sam The Bellhop routine from the show itself, click here.

Read on for a quick look at what’s hot, what’s new, (and sometimes even what’s old) at The Trick Shop.
• Probe (Rhinesense Mk4) by Sean Taylor – The spectator is handed a packet of ESP cards. They take any one and place it between their hands whilst your back is turned; the remaining cards are placed out of sight into their pocket. When you turn around you, know INSTANTLY, ELECTRONICALLY and EVERY TIME, which one they have. NO forcing, NO fishing, NO set up, NO practice, NO hassle. Completely Electronic.
•Rubik Predicted by Mark Elsdon & Alakazam Magic – This new effect from Rubik’s Cube expert Mark Elsdon allows you to tap into the fun, mystery and impossibility of solving the Cube – without even needing to carry one! A spectator freely chooses a random mixed-up Cube design and without any sleights, gaffs or ‘outs’ the performer reveals a photo that predicts the design exactly!
•Sick by Sean Fields – Borrow a coin. Swallow it. What happens next can be described in one word. Sick. Take a knife, and slice your arm wide open. The spectator can see the wound open, and the blood flow. With no movement or cover, the spectator can see the coin slowly emerge from within your body! This looks UNBELIEVABLE! Remove the coin. Hand it back.
•David Copperfield – A Magic Life by Benoit Grenier – Author Benoit Grenier takes a close look at Copperfield, both the man and master magician, and gives a candid view of what it is that makes David Copperfield such a long standing success. Benoit traces the path Copperfield has taken from his childhood right through to his modern day iconic standing in the world of entertainment, and it makes for a fascinating and enlightening read.
