Penn & Teller Chat Magic iPhone App
TNW Rating (6/10)
“It’s not so much a money maker as much as a public service to get guys laid.”
A tool for fooling your friends into thinking they’re texting Penn or Teller direct, who then answer with smart-alec remarks and the punch line to an amazing magic trick. It works 24 hours a day with different replies (and different levels of courtesy) depending on the time of day or mood you find Penn or Teller in.
