Wouldn't that be "I never really watched them, so I never got their act"? How could you ever expect to get anything you never watch?

They never caught my attention either. Clearly very talented, but not my cup of tea. Maybe it could be an acquired taste, but I'll leave that FOMO on the floor.

When I visited my relatives, if they were on the TV we would watch them.

There are many things that cannot be directly observed but can be understood.

“Never really watched them” doesn’t mean “never watched them even once”.

Penn and teller had a TV show, so it could mean they caught an episode or two and weren’t into it (which, same).

The balls and cups with transparent cups is stunning.

Yep, it was probably what pissed off the Magic Circle. https://youtu.be/i0m8CC7Ovj8

The Magic Circle absolutely does not like revealing the trick. Penn and Teller are all about revealing the trick. They see it more or less as their moral duty to make sure you know THERE IS NO MAGIC HERE.

I've always respected them a great amount for that. I'm glad that The Magic Circle finally came around.

Do they reveal "novel" tricks they didn't create?

It's one thing to reveal standards like the cups and ball, but another entirely different to spoil a recent trick a living magician is still making money off. I don't think they do the latter.

The balls and cups with transparent cups is still amazing, by the way.

They do not reveal other, living magician's tricks.

So all's good in my book then!

Teller has sued at least one magician for revealing Tellers trick

I think it was because they sold the secret as theirs, not for revealing
