> Offering a prize tends to bring out the best in people.
If I remember correctly, the prize is a hook for the producers, it's how they got approval for the show. It's not for the performers, which I guess are simply thrilled to perform for P&T and their audience.
Interesting that I got downvoted for stating what Penn has stated again and again in their podcast.
I guess people find it hard to believe these two guys truly do what they claim to do: award the prize to people who truly fool them, and celebrate all magic acts regardless of whether they are fooled.
They've also stated the prize is an excuse for the show.
They are on record stating this, it's not my guesswork, yet somehow saying this earned me a downvote.

Oh well.
