About the experience Mistie shared : “ It really forced us to be creative , to think on our feet in new ways and to perform under extreme pressure . We had very limited time to create new routines , and even less time to develop and practice the material before performing it on camera and for the judges . It really forced us to communicate and work together as never before – delegating tasks to each other ’ s strengths to be time effective and productive .
Kyle is a fantastic builder and he is very creative , so he was in charge of fabricating the props and creating the magic . While I developed the flow between the magic , structured the routines and handled all of the scriptwriting . That ability to work together , communicate and play to each other ’ s strengths is something that has helped us not just on Wizard Wars , but throughout our career to this day .”

Kyle and Mistie were the only challengers that won the grand prize on “ Wizard Wars ” season two . Penn Jillette who was one of the panel of judges stated , “ We all sat here scratching our heads over that God Damn egg !” After the episode was finished filming Teller approached the duo and asked if he could make a guess at the method . His guess was incorrect and that moment , stumping a magic legend , has become a precious magical memory that Mistie and Kyle hold dear and that most people aren ’ t aware of .
Their success on “ Wizard Wars ” flagged the attention of the producers for “ Penn and Teller : Fool Us ” and they were invited to perform on that show in season two as well . Mistie expanded , “ we had the opportunity to appear on both shows with Penn and Teller in the same year !”
