Links to how Penn and Teller did it (9:30-FLC)

On Sunday in the 9:30-FLC service, we showed a clip from The West Wing in which the illusionists Penn and Teller appeared to burn an American Flag in the White House, as part of Zoey Bartlett’s birthday party. We showed the clip as a way to begin a discussion of the threatened Qur’an burning this week by the pastor in Florida.

Our Media Team had found this The West Wing clip, as one it was based on from, I’m guessing, Penn and Teller’s Las Vegas show, which goes on beyond the one we showed, and explains how they did it. Its a really interesting clip, and quite profound for not only what it says, but how.

Here is the clip we showed on Sunday: [The West Wing]
