Penn & Teller will be guests on Discovery Channel's Time Warp tonight (June 17, 2009)  at 8pm. Time Warp will showcase some of their signature routines in slow motion, "revealing the complexities of each bit".

If you can't wait till tonight, here are some videos of Penn & Teller eating fire in slow motion and juggling broken glass. Do not try this at home.

The audience gasps as the unicyclist tosses his partner into the air and across his body like a lithe feather boa gliding around one's body. Only this adornment is a hundred pound girl who makes dancing with a unicyclist look easy.

Kooza is one of Cirque du Soleil's traveling shows. So although it does not benefit from all the trappings of your typical Las Vegas Cirque du Soliel show with mult-million-dollar special effects and lighting, one quickly forgets because their artists are so skilled in transporting the audience from their humble seats into their magical realm.

The creator of Cirque du Soliel, Guy Laliberté, is a magician who creates with unexpected media. He turns acrobats into majestic dancers, jugglers into sophisticated showmen, and clowns into story-tellers. Although this formula of acrobatics, dancing and juggling may seem tiring to anyone who has seen more than one Cirque du Soleil show, the sheer skill of their performers more than makes up for repetition in theme.

There is always something unexpected at a Cirque du Soleil show. Catch Kooza in San Jose from now till March 16th! I wonder if Cirque du Soliel needs a magician...
