Mac Vs. PC

Posted by Editor on March 15th, 2010

Stuff like this is why the internet was invented. Only on such a specialized platform could an inside joke of this magnitude be executed and distributed to those who would find it the funniest. You. Are. Those. People.

Big props to Reel Magic Magazine, Mac King and David Kaye for putting this together.

Penn & Teller | NEWS.jpg

Heads up to all of our UK readership, Penn & Teller are going to hit London. The Boys are making a rare appearance across the pond with one of their Q&A shows.

So on the downside, if you are looking for magic, there might not be a ton there. Then again, even if it was the full show you could probably count out the Bullet Catch considering England makes Connecticut look like Duke Nukem when it comes to gun laws.

Here’s the info:

Penn & Teller: Bulls**t!

July 14-18: Hammersmith
Apollo (LONDON, England)

So is anyone planning on catching this? Disappointed it’s not the full magic experience?

Thanks to Andrew Webb for passing this along.
