Line 72:
* [[The Television Talks Back]]: A Penn & Teller variation of the old "is this your card?" trick is designed to be done with the TV on in the background. The person doing the trick holds up a card -- "Is this your card?" -- and it isn't... and then a moment later the guy on the TV stops what he's doing, holds up a card, and says "Is ''this'' your card?" -- and it is.
* [[The Three Stooges]]: They have performed a stage version of a Stoogesque sketch.
* [[Three -Way Sex]]: A trick in ''How to Play in Traffic'' revolves around playing a [[Knights and Knaves]]-esque game supposedly to choose which of two potential sex partners you have a better "connection" with. It ends with you supposedly reading both of their minds (courtesy of the trick, of course), concluding that you can't possibly choose, and [[Take a Third Option|inviting both of them to your hotel room together]]. (This is followed by a parenthetical note that you ''could'' in theory just pick the one you like better instead, but ''who in the world would do that''?)
* [[Unwinnable By Design]]: In ''Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors'', hyperbole is not in any way involved in the naming of the "Impossible" difficulty level.
* [[The Voiceless]]: Teller's on-stage persona.
