Thanks for pointing that out 😂

It was a deliberate trick called a blink mic. Deliberately placed mic on someone who doesn’t or isn’t going to talk. Like Kermit the frog holding a mic.

Why doesn’t he talk? I’ve never figured out if he really can’t talk or it’s just some shtick

@@idkjj8835 He talks. You can find interviews and such of him talking a lot. His voice is not what you'd expect.

@@idkjj8835 he said why he don't talk in this video.

It's still just as incredible with the clear cups. I still can't figure it out.

There are some wonderful things for the audience who is doing that too. First ball Teller palms in his right hand while disappearing it from his left. He then feeds that ball under the next cup to prepare it to be revealed. So when he disappears the second ball you expect him to do the same: palm in the right, disappear from the left... except after he disappears from the left, he opens and shows his right hand. He doesn't have the second disappeared ball, Penn does. There is no reason to reveal this in the classic trick. The ball was disappeared, it doesn't matter who secretly has it. It is a subtle hand motion that is only relevant for audience members who are very closely following the trick and trying to actively track the balls. The trick would work just as well without that reveal. That is the best part of Penn and Teller magic. There is a show within a show. They aren't satisfied with tricking you, they also want to impress you as you try and work out the trick.

Why doesn’t he

@@yerik6034 It's part of the entire act. He's a guy named "Teller" that doesn't speak. The act has been portrayed this way for decades. Teller will speak when he's not on stage in a preforming aspect. I've heard him doing symposiums and lectures and he's an amazing talent. But to have him suddenly speak while on TV doing promotional work or stage preforming would take away from the style they have perfected over the years. Here on KZfaq there are several videos of such events where Teller speaks his mind and talks about his past and how he became friends and partners with Penn. Look 'em up! I think you'll be impressed with just how well spoken he really is.

@@Tedybear315 He usually speaks on theses types of things. I suppose because they would be preforming right after is why he didnt. Hes the actual slight of hand expert in their act. Theres a reason Pen mostly explains while Teller performs. Teller is a masterclass in the art of slight of hand.

I know it is part of his act, but I do wish he would speak in more interviews. I have seen him lecture on magic - and he is a wonderful speaker. 😎

He's a ventriloquist. Penn isn't speaking at all. You didn't know?

Once you start seeing though the showmanship (distraction methods) and observing there hands 👐 you start seeing how rubbish some of them are at sleight of hand 🖐️ lol

@@buskingkarma2503 Calling Penn and Teller rubbish at sleight of hand? Teller is renowned as a master of sleight of hand.

@@cometvaudin2850 Did I say or even use the word rubbish in my comment? 🤷‍♂️ There obviously skilled at what they do, just making an observation that's all. I actually like there show where they invite people to try and fool them and they did explain the trick themselves at the end so maybe that's why they slowed it down 🤷‍♂️ lol

@@buskingkarma2503 Look at your comment again. It wasn’t even a synonym, you said ‘rubbish’.

@@cometvaudin2850 I stand corrected on using the word rubbish, my bad sorry, but it is in the context of,,, some of them are rubbish,,as in just certain magicians in general(and obviously no were near as skilled as Pen and Teller) . At no point in my comment do I call them rubbish,or there act but your right I did use the word rubbish. However I think you've maybe read my comment wrong lol so sorry if you got that impression, there record speaks for itself so it's hardly rocket science that are so not RUBBISH! Is it? 😂 Take care and have a good day 👍 ✌️ ♥ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

It becomes a demonstration of skill instead of a magic trick. Pen and Teller have been doing this bit for years and it never gets old for me.

The thing about P&T is that they only expose tricks they developed or tricks that are so old they’re in the “public domain” if you will.

Isn't it strange that he doesn't talk though I mean if you want to go by Voices right who would you rather hear talk Penn or teller you know what I mean

@@Treevors30 It's too big a part of the act by now, Penn doing his "carny trash" spiel serves as a misdirection that doesn't feel like filler that keeps you engaged but only exists to distract, they've built so much on that dynamic Teller suddenly speak would only take away from the trick. But in terms of something like an interview it would be nice to hear more of Teller speaking genuinely

that's a good idea; watch it at 1/3 speed with the sound off

You don't need to do that. Just keep your eyes on Penn's left hand and Teller's right hand as they go out of view and that's when they load the cups from their pockets, which are also out of view. It's an excellent trick but one you know how it's done you can spot all the loads' quite easily. The absolute master of the cups and balls routine, and many magicians agree, was the late Paul Daniels.

Have you seen Shin Lim, a magician who appeared on America's Got Talent? He is on an equal with Teller.

He has been doing that professionally for over 40 years so it should be.

@Red Dwarf I’m not 100% sure but I think this interview was before Fool Us. I could be wrong.

6 actually

@@philmenzies2477 thanks for the correction 👍 I'll update my comment 😊

Frauds

But would that extend to all tricks? Obviously the cups and balls in this video is designed to have that effect. But some magic tricks, like Penn said, just have a really ugly method. Nothing super clever, nothing super fascinating - really better not to know and enjoy the magic.

I was about to comment ..... And then i saw what you did there 😁👏

I'm a year late. Well done. 😆

Usually the other way round with wossy

The interviewer barely let him answer. They were both great at the starting to talk right as the other was about to finish.

He was butt hurt over what Penn said about Vegas. Tom Jones was "retired" in Vegas for over 40 years.

I did not recognize him (or realize he was still alive). What is with that odd little out of the way couch? Bizarre setting. 😎

I guess you got TRICKED into watching it 😁😉

It really FOOLED US

there are numerous interviews on YT, just a few clicks away. Wonder long shall you not!

@@jeffreymason7049 you make a good point

dude, this is from 2010, relax

@@HomieChril It's also a trick they can literally bring and set up anywhere. Hard to do something big when you're on the road

Isn't that kind of saying "Electricity, again? I've seen Palpatine use Force Lightning 100 times." Might be time to watch some new Magicians.

I mean Teller is the much better magician but sure 😂😂😂

I can't even name 5 magic acts. How are they not top 5?

They’re just that good.

You caught him took?
