It’s awesome how Tellers lips match the audio of the voice actor perfect. That’s real magic.

Every time Teller talks, I still am mystified both for his magical genius and for years of never hearing him talk.

Teller may not speak often publicly, but when he does, he's as captivating as when he's performing magic.

I’ll stop whatever I’m doing to listen to Teller whenever the opportunity presents itself. Being the son of a magician, I’ve been watching his and Penn’s career since their beginnings in the 1970s.

Teller only lies when he is silent. What a treat anytime he talks. Thank you for this interview!

My son and I saw Penn & Teller's show in Las Vegas a few years ago - it was an all-ages show, and not only was it entertaining, it was like Teller explained about midway through this interview: there was no "gotcha" BS going on at any point. Plus, both Penn and Teller stayed after the show to take pictures with anyone who wanted to stick around to do it. They did not leave until EVERYONE got their photos! These guys were nothing BUT professional! And yes, we will go see them again when this pandemic has run its course!

Very powerful moment at 37:16, when he tells the story of a dad meeting him after the show and introducing him to his seven year old son. Teller's voice breaking. Wow!

Who watched this just to hear Teller talk?

My wife and I were on a coach tour of the West Coast in 2000/01 and Penn & Teller were performing at a theatre just up the road, literally a two minute walk, from the hotel the tour put us in. We were only in San Francisco for 3 days/2 nights so we tried to get tickets and managed to get them for our second night. The show was amazing, the comedy was funny, the two stars are the most personable ever. At the end of their show they ran down the centre isle and disappeared. When we exited the theatre they were standing back to back in the road surrounded by fans, continuously signing programmes and autographs. We have never then or before seen any show where the stars do this. It made the evening so much more special. Thank you P & T.

We're used to Teller always being silent during PT acts. But I LOVE listening to him! His way of talking is very intelligent, not to mention overwhelmingly interesting. Bravo; great interview!

Teller and Rowan Atkinson have mastered the ability to communicate silently.

Teller talking itself is a magic!

Every time Teller speaks - which is relatively new to me, having seen them on their very first theatre tour, many years ago - I am more and more impressed, not just by his depth of encyclopedic knowledge of magic, but how incredibly intelligent he is. Teller is NOT your garden-variety Hollywood Celebrity; nor, is he your typical magician. I like him more than ever.

This is incredible. Truly a privilege to just sit and quietly listen.

He’s a professional, A realist, Very human, he’s so down to earth too.

When Penn and teller came out at one of their shows and was taking pictures with everyone. I got to meet them both and it was very very much appreciated.

I love Teller and Penn. They've contributed so much good to this world.

Wonderful interview. I had the privilege of knowing Ray as my high school teacher. Even back in 1971 he showed me the shadow rose routine and I never forgot it. He is truly a great person.

Wow, wow, wow...just wow! Ever since I discovered KZfaq and Vanishing Inc, and magic interviews... these have been the Best 30 minutes I have ever spent in front of a phone! Teller is as enjoyful speaking as he is performing magic...and an honest sincere advisor...loved the comment about Got Talent Shows! Thanks a lot for everything!

One of the best interviews with Teller I've seen in a long time. Well done! and thank you for not interrupting. I was captivated for the whole time, just love Teller to the core.

He's such an interesting guy to listen to even outside of magic. Wish Teller did his own podcast!

I’m so thankful that I had the opportunity to perform on “Fool Us” this season. It is however unfortunate that I had to perform remotely, because of the pandemic. But, it was still a huge honor to share something I created with 2 of the greatest entertainers and magical minds in the history of the art. 🙏

I've watched this guy all my life. He has said more here then at anytime before. I like it, he is a very interesting man. Thanks for not interrupting him. Lately I've seen interviewers seem like they can't wait for their person of interest, to shut up, so he can get through his questions.

I love how humble and grounded he is. Stay awesome! 🙌🏻👏🏼🙌🏻👏🏼🥰

Teller, not only a brillliant magician but a great clown. I’ve seen P&T in London. Fantastic show full of humour and intrigue. They always have so much time for their fans, so down to earth. I love “Fool Us” and it amuses me that the successful magicians are presented with a trophy from the pair with the big letters “F.U.” P&T still have the last word, having been fooled..........😊

I love that you can see tellers reflection in the background

Thank you for posting this! This quiet man who speaks so eloquently about his craft is a true hero to me.

Jen and mom Beth; Now this is magic!! Teller articulates how his magic is physics, engineering, science, art, and entertainment. This was pure enjoyment. Extremely intelligent, sweet, and kind. Looking forward to your books. Wonderful.

He is so knowledgeable it's fascinating to listen to him. 👍

Terrific interview! Teller was right about the questions which didn't just let him fill in the blanks but were springboards that launched him into useful insights. I hope he continues on a book. It sounds like he needs a scribe who could pull out of him all the subtleties and secrets we'd love to read some day.

I like how Teller’s voice is exactly how I imagined it to be.

Teller just seems like such a good guy

I keep coming back to this interview because Teller's insightful commentary is so captivating. And the questions were right on point. Fantastic interview.

Teller is a friend and an influence and one of the most astute and decent people around.

I love Teller's explanation of doing mentalism well. This is so good Damien thank you for sharing!

Thanks Teller for this excursus on politeness and gentleness. Really enjoyed this interview every second.

Such an articulate, sensitive and passionate man. Sometimes I yearn to hear Teller speak.

I admire & adore Teller so much!!!

I greatly appreciated them staying behind after the Vegas show to talk to the riff raff. I was one of the last out and Teller still had lots of energy and was very engaging. Spry guy physically and mentally.

I've seen Penn and Teller several times. They fantastic every show, professional and luv the fans

His voice is so pleasant.

Wonderful wonderful interview style, questions, and allowing the person to just speak. Thank you for this video.

a real pleasure to listen to mr. teller. all the best from bremen/germany.

Teller looks right when he's searching for an answer. I think he made friends with the voices in his head. Silence is golden teller...you are an awesome individual

I can't believe I haven't seen this before, every time I see an interview with Teller its gold

I loved it! Great interview. I also love Teller. Penn and Teller are great! It would be amazing to meet them both, especially Teller.

I can’t put into words how much Teller inspires me... should have sent a poet.

Intriguing interview teller opens up n speaks mistifying great job

Truly loved stumbling on this, Thanks!

If teller pens a book, don't care the cost, it will go into the library, fingers crossed

Our legends growing old 🥲🥲🥲....i wish i could reverse time once again

Penn and Teller are brilliant, and this was a brilliant interview!

so many inspirations !!!! thank you so much for sharing this interview ;)

Teller is an amazing person.

*LOVE* the original idea for Fool Us, that would have been so much better than what we got.

53:00 Teller talks about the audience reading his mind. I don't think this is correct. Teller is an amazing communicator. He knows how to talk and is very generous when he's talking (evidenced by this video). When he talks, everything he says is relevant. He is captivating. The way he talks, the information he imparts makes you want to listen. Similarly when he doesn't talk, he is an amazing communicator. When he doesn't speak, people are forced to listen and they are forced to listen with the other senses (as Teller states). But Teller is so expressive with his "mime" that he can tell the story with out needing to speak it. This is Teller's gift. Maybe he is being humble in saying the audience are good mind readers but, really, Teller knows how to communicate.

In the late seventies I played with a Renaissance music group in the Washington, DC area. We had great costumes and would be hired by the annual Renaissance Fair which was at the time at Symphony Woods in Columbia, MD. We were local but there were a lot of acts who traveled the Renaissance Fair circuit. This included Pen and Teller. We were playing a small side stage before or after Penn and Teller, who weren’t famous yet, so I had a chance to chat with Teller. He was asking me how his pulling coins out of the air looked. He didn’t have the pluck to his satisfaction. I couldn’t tell. I talked about one of his tricks which I had no idea how he did. So he showed me, I think getting me to promise not to repeat it. Years and years later I told my wife who never had a reason to repeat it and now you can find out how the trick is done on the internet. A very cool guy.

Thank you, I loved this interview

WHOA! The incredible magic voice trick?... He really is magic!

Thank you so much, absolutely lovely.

Great interview with great questions. And great answers! I first seen Penn and Teller, with another performer at the Walnut Street Theater in South Philly in the late 1970'S when they were the Asparagus Valley Cultural Society.

amazingly insightful! Thank you soooo much for this!

Teller sounds exactly the way a teacher Should sound. lol

5:33 Reflection in mirror behind Teller - standing in front of his computer in shorts and tee. He stood for an hour for this interview. KUDOS!

I have so much respect for Teller!

Very nice interview. Thanks!

In 1988 I bought the VHS tape "Cruel Tricks For Dear Friends" and probably watched it 50x. Saw their live Vegas show in 2015 and met them after the show. Great memories!

Excellent interview

Great interview and Teller was so correct saying the questions we so different that what he must get time after time. Well done mate..!

Penn & Teller, I must say I always loved magic, tricks, slight of hand. The manipulation and slight of hand are amazing due to the skills and coordination of you have to develop along with muscle control. I enjoyed watching this you tube video as Teller really hits on how bad tv is and politics and the way people treat each other. Also the way Fool Us treats the other magicians. Yes I think interaction with your fans is important and only a few end up ruining it for the others who just want to say thank you and meet you. Loved the 7 year old story about the grandfather. Everyone wants to be fooled, but also tries to figure out how that was done. It is also much better in person than on tv as I took my mom and sister and nieces to see David Copperfield In Hershey Pa at the old Hershey Park Arena. Just enjoyed watching there faces when they said where did they come from, and how did he do that! Years ago Grant Fuhr of the Edmonton Oilers was sent down to AHL after knee replacements. I met him before the game with a buddy of mine. Then after the game got in line for autographs from him. We were about 2/3rds of the back in line and security had a cut off behind us. When we got up to him, he remembered our names, and then my buddy gave him 2 enclosed magazenes that he was featured in, and said these are for you. He thanked him and signed a few photos. Then we were just hanging around to the end. But when the line had about 20 more people left, the coach came out and said to Grant that the bus is loaded and were ready to roll as we are on a time schedule. Grant just replied to him: '"We may leave when I am through with these people." The coach said thank you and went back to the bus. I know athletes and stars get bombarded and need to be careful. But that just shows you what class is about.

This was brilliant, thank you so much

Such a great voice and so humble! :D

Wonderful interview. I'd love to have Teller as a guest on a show I co-host with Franz Harary on Facebook. Such a brilliant man.

Yes! Great interview!! Thank you!!!

I am so happy that he decided to interview teller instead of Penn although I was kinda hoping for him to interview them both together

Q: How do you know when Teller is lying? A: His lips aren't moving.

Many years ago, I was at a P & T show where members of the audience were invited on stage during intermission to see how a trick was done. Teller was directing traffic. I thought, "Cool. Teller speaks!"

Its great how Fool Us isnt one of those GOTCHA shows and only have the best acts on it. For example, they dont do acts like walking through glass where they put a sheet up against a window to block the camera, then the magician opens it, climbs through and says he walked through the glass

Love this guy

Thank You.

I love Joe Teller. He is such a lovely person.

I’ve never heard him talk. Actually I wasn’t sure that he could, but strangely he sounds exactly how I thought he would.

I love Teller picking on talent show judges...we seem to have the same opinion about them. And the way P&T "judge" or talk about and to the magicians on their show is one important aspect of what makes FU so great to watch for me and sets them apart from the AGT clowns. And then there was PIff on AGT and his way of treating the judges in general but Heidi Klum in particular without much (if any) respect. I enjoyed that sooo much.

That cat-clock though!

OMG! I thought he NEVER spoken in public. Can't believe I found this interview and can listen to his voice

Advice from the master 👏 🙏

What a great interview!

That was an amazing interview. I could listen to Teller for hours. Nice job 👍

excelente entrevista, felicitaciones.

What a wonderful voice.

Wow, this video got me in a way I didn't expect.

The man is a legend

54:20 WHAAA!!!! 72, OMG Teller still looks 50 TOPS! Love your work and amazing influence!!

Love the clock on the wall...:))

"I guess I explained it badly" (his idea for Fool Us) - that sounds like he mentioned it to Penn who then went off and organized the whole thing while Teller wasn't involved any more. You'd think that with a project this large, they'd discuss it a bit more.

Truly wonderful.

Wow, 70-something and you stood through whole interview. Check the mirror behind. I love Bruce Elliott as well. Magic as a Hobby was in the library when I was small. Loved the book. Actually I still love it.

Nice interview.

Wohoo, we finally get to listen how Teller sounds :)

I wish Teller would have been the talking part of Penn & Teller, and Penn was the one who kept his mouth shut.
