Penn & Teller may or may not be the best magicians of all time—to their credit, they've never claimed to be—but they are certainly the best thing to happen to magic since Houdini. Their unique, slightly goofy aura largely depends on the fact that they never pretend to actually do "magic," instead putting together complicated and ingenious tricks that they are often kind—or perhaps proud—enough to share with their audience. They've even shared these tricks in two previous books, the vastly entertaining Cruel Tricks For Dear Friends (to help you exploit the trust of those closest to you) and How To Play With Your Food (complete with recipes). How To Play In Traffic is a book of travel gags that capitalize on the humor and swindle potential of Gideon bibles, car phones, hotel sewing kits, cheap plastic cups, and many other things that do not ordinarily enhance the travel experience. Better yet, the book is salted with essays, anecdotes, short stories, and inspirational bits from two clever and outspoken people—and as big-government-hating Atheist rip-off artists, they manage to say a lot. Plus, it's illustrated with photos of the authors mugging shamelessly for the camera while demonstrating their nifty gags. Anyone who likes laughing, being smart, and spoofing their friends must own this indispensable life tool.
