Penn Jillette recalls being devastated at learning the truth about magic

Penn Jillette, magician in the longest running show in Las Vegas, joined Glenn Beck on "Glenn" today to explore the absolute truth in his magic act.

Jillette has always despised tricking people, which prevented him from getting into magic for years. He became intrigued by a "scientific" extrasensory perception kit plugged by someone named Kreskin.

He was horrified to learn by a chance discovery at the library that Kreskin was a famed mentalist and not a scientist. He was so devastated, his grades actually plummeted.

Glenn pointed out that what he loved most about Jillette's show that it was so honest.
