They must have spent all the good material in the last episode, one of the best in the series. The only thing relatively interesting was Mac King "swallowing" the Guinea Pig. Wow, what an effect!! I think I figured out how it was done, but it is still surprising and impressive.
The first two were people who admitted to be part-time magicians. What? I think this is the first time it happened. Both came with tricks that were half-interesting, but that Penn said they had seen before many times (that is, they are standard tricks). The mentalist that showed the "square", however, had a nice effect. I would love to be able to do it at a party.
The last one who "bent a fork" made a routine with too many "fishy moves" to be effective.
Finally, the P&T routine was just comedy, no magic. The kind of thing you would see sometimes in "The Strange world of Penn and Teller". So-so.
Almost a filler episode, with nothing amazing, except for the Guinea Pig. And even that one was only surprising, but not making a lot of people who are accustomed to the show wonder how he did it (I mean, the box must have been there for a reason...)
