Operating under the adage that wetter is better, Penn and Teller: Off the Deep End goes where no magic show has ever gone before--deep underwater on the floor of the Caribbean Sea!

Teller, the silent straight man, performs the most dangerous tricks including escaping from a straight jacket amidst a school of hungry sharks, as the tall and talkative Penn explains the secrets behind their amazing feats of illusion and trickery such as sawing a glamorous mermaid in half and dolphin s slight-of-bottlenose.
