MythBusters Fight Back After Penn & Teller Invade Their Turf
Posted by Justin on January 12th, 2012
So Penn & Teller create their own show on the Discovery Channel debating the legitimacy of various claims. Now, Jamie and Adam of MythBusters fame are invading P&T’s turf with a live stage show.
See how these things escalate?
The pair begin a 31-city tour this Sunday in Los Angeles’ Nokia theater.
Explains Adam…
We worked hard to port what we like about “MythBusters” onto stage without doing something that was just a big boring science demonstration show. And what we decided to do was to spend a couple of hours messing with the audience, with the way they see things, with the way they see themselves. We’ll demonstrate something where A plus B equals C, and bring an audience member up and show them that even though it looks like that might be the case, we can demonstrate situations in which it’s not. We have a sketch in which we physically manipulate the way people see and their ability to complete actions onstage — so in addition to the general idea of perception as the way we think through things, we’re going to be messing with actual perception.
Hmmm… live on stage, messing with perception. If they end with a bullet catch, things might get ugly.
