- For instance Penn & Teller in one of their tricks--turning a live white
- duck into a roll of duck tape. This is one of the tricks that they do
- twice in their show so that you can see how they really pull the stunt off.
- The first time they turned the duck into "duck tape" the second time they
- turn it into "electrical tape" :-) I went with a group of ten theater
- techies. We were vastly amused.
