LIGHT SPOILERS If you've seen any of the magicians featured in this special, you've seen the tricks then. If you haven't, then this would have been a good special back in the 1990's. Not today. Why? It's horrible dated (except for Penn & Teller, who remain steadfast the same, minus some gray hairs and double chins).
It has constant cut-to's, annoying edits, Godawful music scoring that has terrible drum machine-like sounds with samples like a voice saying "Go!" and "Wow!" and already massively dated hip hop/pop scoring, and perhaps some of the WORST narration I've ever heard. I mean horrible trying-to-be-hip older guy trying ti sound "young" using inoffensive slang and some rhyming. You remember those '90's TV series commercials for shows like "The X-Files" and "Star Trek: The Next Generation" that had those terrible male voiceovers with terrible delivery and wording? "And lieutenant commander Daaataaa! Heee'sss and aaaaannndriiioooid!". Now multiply that by five and you get an idea.
The constant onslaught of crappy scoring, edits, cut-away's and narration designed as the modern Chinese water torture, is a never-ending barrage on your brain that is trying to test the limits of your patience.
