Penn & Teller Effect
Penn plans to perform a version of Russian roulette. He does this by using a nail gun. He demonstrates how powerful they are by shooting a few nails in a board. He then activates the trigger into his hand but nothing comes out. He explains that the nails had been put on a string in the nail gun that was in a specific sequence and all he had to do was memorize the sequence. Penn begins to point the nail gun at the board and at his hand in a specific way, firing each time. All the nails land on the board and none land in Penn's hand. He continues doing this, but eventually he fires at the board and nothing comes out. He recovers and then explains that most memorization acts are magic tricks but proves this is real by firing it at Teller's neck and crotch.
