Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/05/31 17:09 I don't wish to be a bother, but I think that if anyone has those specials and could put them on the site, they'd be greatly appreciated by myself and the other P&T fans.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/05/31 17:23 Isn't "Don't Try This At Home" the one where Teller gets run over by a truck, after Penn discusses hypotheses for the trick with Victoria Jackson?

I also wonder if Victoria Jackson is the nameless SNL has-been Penn talks about on the radio once, who says "Why can't Penn shut up about being an atheist? I'm a born-again Christian, and..." etc etc.

Yup, that's the one. And the truck bit is the only piece I've found online, never the whole show.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/05/31 18:48 according to Wikipedia Victoria Jackson is a devout Christian and has appeared on the 700 club (ewwww), so more than likely it was probably her.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/06/01 11:36 The "Don't Try This at Home" special also featured the millions of bees routine Penn talked about on the radio show.

And I believe the beaver trap routine was on there as well...

Good news. I found "Don't Try This" online. - 2007/06/01 19:50 There are two websites I came across that have "Don't Try This at Home" free for download. Here they are in case anyone is interested.

http://www.btmon.com/Video/Movies/Penn._.Teller.Don_t.Try.this.at.Home_._VHS.Rip_.mpg.torrent.html

I'd like to upload them here, but I'm not that proficient with it. Maybe someone else could.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/06/05 16:10 It looks like most of this is stuff has survived on Youtube for a few weeks at a time, but not all of it. The opening bit with the mirrors, for example, I'd never seen anywhere.

The marshmallow bit left a bit of an impression on me. It's a lot like the Stand-Up Comedy Simulator bit seen in their UK show, but... preverse.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/06/11 20:22 I had Phobophilia on vhs but the first 3/4 of it got taped over with some David Copperfield crap, so now all that is left is Provenza in a tube and the bullet catch
