Penn & Teller Effect
Penn says that some people do magic tricks, some do illusions, but he and Teller do god-given miracles. He says Teller was blessed with the ability to mend polyester. Penn brings a child onstage and they show a long sheet of polyester. Penn cuts the polyester in two and Teller ties them into a knot. Penn and the child hold each side of the polyester. Teller then cuts the knot and the polyester restores. Penn asks the child if it was a miracle or a magic trick. He says it was a magic trick, so Teller again cuts the polyester and restores it. Teller then supposedly gives the child the power to mend polyester. He hands the child a pair of scissors and the child cuts the polyester. Teller ties the knot and has the child cut the knot twice. Penn asks the child if he believed in Teller. The child says yes and the polyester restores. Penn and Teller tie the polyester around his neck and they make it go through.
