The World’s Worst Magician // Chung Ling Soo

In this magical episode of Sorry, We Tried, the guys discuss one of the dumbest stage magicians of all time— William Robinson, also known as Chung Ling Soo. A pioneer of the "bullet catch" trick as well as a monumental scumbag, Robinson decided to get famous by copying other peoples' acts and masquerading as a Chinese man for his entire career. It's a wild story with an unexpected ending! 

Also in this episode, Harrison drops some Burger King lore. Robby decides to censor himself. Spencer can't say words correctly. And the guys get stuck for a while on how Robinson's act went horribly, horribly wrong.
