Penn Jillette, the iconic magician from the duo Penn & Teller, divulges the unconventional path that led him to stardom. While Jillette ostensibly graduated from high school, it was more of a strategic bargain than the conventional route. He leveraged his exceptional SAT scores and threatened to expose the school for failing its brightest student, thus ensuring his graduation despite abstaining from senior-year classes. Jillette further embraced a free-spirited lifestyle reminiscent of Bob Dylan's fabricated autobiography by hitchhiking, hopping trains, and leading a bohemian existence across America. His journey led him to Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Clown College, a transformative three-month stint that honed his comedic and juggling prowess, despite being initially deemed the least talented. During this period, Jillette's juggling street act burgeoned into a lucrative endeavor, reportedly earning him $7,000 per week.
