I love Fool Us, but one group totally got through last year on some dumb metagaming BS. I assume it is up to the producers to screen out that kind of stuff, because otherwise I imagine that there are plenty of tricks that you can make needlessly complicated to game the rules.

Some are also the type who enjoy having nearly complete control over vulnerable people.

I've done ~70 a couple times, and had roughly the same experience as the other replies. Lots of waving and shimmering on the edges of your vision. S lot of times you wouldn't even notice that you were hallucinating for a while when your brain started to think "Hmmmm that's a bit off." When I get really tired and hear a sharp noise I always see a bright flash of light, so there was a lot of that. I eventually decided to go to sleep the first time when I was on some website and I thought the Bob Dylan ad on the sidebar was animated/talking to me, and I said to myself "Damn I hate talking ads." Then Bob said my name and I thought how crazy it was that technology could do that. Then I looked at the ad, which wasn't moving/talking at all.

It was Morgan and West on the US Episode 9: http://www.cwtv.com/shows/penn-teller-fool-us/penn-gets-nailed/?play=f683d3da-4eb9-4536-8850-01ba2826b2d5. It's the second-to-last segment in the show. Sorry about the ads- I couldn't find a clean copy.

Hey, great job! Fool Us is one of my favorite shows because there just isn't really good magic one TV.

1) Did you follow the last season of America's Got Talent? A magician won a million dollars with a poorly-executed Cup and Balls trick, which, coincidentally, is almost identical to the one Penn and Teller do with clear cups. Do you think good magic has a chance at competing with other pop culture on a large scale?

2) I noticed in your trick that after your bag solve the cube is pretty misaligned, showing that it had just been manipulated. Was that a mistake, or was that on purpose to mess with P&T's heads?
