Trivia

Tony Wonder (Ben Stiller)'s newspaper articles:

• "Despite the oohs and ahs of the mean audience there was one disgruntled ex-magician who was seen doing some sort of chicken-type dance at fevered pitch [Gob]".
• "[The trick] was once contemplated by Houdini himself but that the ovens during that time period were either too small or booked way in advance".
