Small Talk: Muggle Thoughts

[Meredith Quill]

The Small Talk topic is for:

 

• Introductions
• Off-topic chatter
• Having virtual tea with forum buddies

 

This is NOT a topic for actual show discussion. When you want to talk about the show:

 

1. Figure out the nature of the topic you want to talk about
2. Look for an existing topic that matches or fits
3. If there is NOT an existing topic that fits, CREATE ONE!

 

Examples of topics that populate show forums include (but by no means are limited to):

 

• Character topics
• Episode topics
• Season topics
• Spoiler topics
• Speculation topics
• In the Media topics
• Favourite X topics
• ...you get the idea

 

Happy trails beyond Small Talk!

I was catching up on some older "Penn's Sunday School" podcasts (it's a fun, fun show; I highly recommend it), when the one from August 3rd had Penn talking to his cohosts about the best EVAH trick on "Fool Us"...something with a beachball/beachball-shaped balloon in the audience? He went on and on about how much it fooled him and Teller, and even after the French magician told them how it was done, he still wasn't quite sure, except to say it must have taken an ENORMOUS amount of work to perfect.

 

Does anyone remember seeing this on "Fool Us"? If so, could you direct me to the link, if one exists?

That's Mathieu Bich's trick, "Spreadwave"

Thank you, Something Clever! I remember seeing that trick now, but I didn't remember it when it was mentioned on the podcast because the magician was so low-key about it. Hard to believe that was the trick Penn was raving about so much, because it was done without a lot of hoopla. Now that I've seen it a second time, I understand a bit better why they were so impressed.

Thanks again for posting that clip for me! :)
