I just wish Teller would do a full blown TED talk (or something similar). The man has a lot of interesting things to say and a LOT of knowledge regarding both the performance and the psychology of magic.

His voice is so relaxing.

His voice is NOT what I expected! It's actually very soothing if I'm gonna be perfectly honest.

Plot twist: He's a mute man and it's just a magic trick

Teller comes across as just an incredibly gentle guy. Got to go on stage with them to participate in a trick at their Vegas show, and he did an excellent job at keeping nervous little me calm. Both him and Penn seem very aware of the social cues of others and of how to keep volunteers comfortable and enjoying themselves. That's one of the reasons I admire them so much - I've seem so many videos where the volunteer(s) get uncomfortable for some reason, and the trick just feels awkward for the rest of the time. They both make sure to notice the beginnings of nervous tensions and Teller particularly does an amazing job at soothing those nerves. I respect both of them so much. Just wow.

This dude is overwhelmingly smart

Wow. Got to hear his voice *AND* learned how to do magic. Nice.

I'm surprised by how old he is, can't believe he's 70 next year o.0

I love that someone in the crowd goes "Oh! He's talking!"...While speaking at a conference.

Fascinating stuff. Always knew Teller not speaking was an act so interesting to hear him finally for the first time but what he was saying here was really fascinating and interesting too. No wonder they are such great magicians! :)

Now THAT is a great explanation of what magic is. It isn't about the great trick. It is about what the magician is 'making' you see. The story of the trick.

i just realized that his voice sounds like a clear kermit the frog, kinda cool :D

I could listen to him talk about magic all day.

Plot twist: There's someone off stage talking into a microphone

Omg, he is such an incredible slight of hand magician! They way he pretends to put the ball in his hand is so clean, that even if I already know that he's pretending, it still fools me.

This is a great, fascinating and informative video. I've like many of you have grown up watching Penn and Teller. I was not only floored with hearing him talk but also with the words in which he spoke. Very wise man as well as Penn. Dynamic duo.

An eloquent summary of how the mind comes to conclusions based on familiar actions. And presented in true form by a true artist. Teller knows his stuff! BRAVO! (Uh.. I mean, SHOWTIME!)

My wife and I spent an evening with Teller about 10 years ago and found him to be a completely charming man.

I clicked into this video and got a masterclass ad for penn and teller not even joking

Wow, it's just amazing to finally hear him speak. I've been watching him for years and to hear him speak is enlightening.

Just brilliant!

I read a little about his life on Wikipedia. He used to be a high school teacher that taught Latin...and Greek! This guy is no dummy. He doesn't speak because when he was supporting himself in college by doing magic at frat parties and the like, he found that if he stayed silent they were less likely to boo and throw beer at him. He just stayed with it because it is effective. Very cool dude.

.....Mr. Teller is the Best & Most Adorable.

Daddy always said 'it's the shy quiet ones you have to watch out for'....

I was just smiling throughout the video.

So calming. So adorable. I wish I could just keep him forever

Wow, he just blew my mind. Thanks for uploading this, Ellusionist.

His voice is pure magic

I see his point in that it's a lot of power of suggestion but I think it's also a lot of pure skill. Even when I really study what he's doing as he's explaining it, it still really looks like he's putting the ball in his other hand when he's not. That's just amazing skill IMO.

I was expecting him to sound like gilbert godfreid

He has such a gentle voice!

It's so cool to hear him talking again! I met him a couple years ago and it was really crazy to actually talk TO him. =D He's so nice. ^_^

Teller is truly amazing at what he does. We need more videos of him doing his thang. Penn andTteller are fantastic together but Teller by himself is a whole other thing.

Hearing how it's done only makes it more remarkable for me! Cool stuff!

Singularly brilliant walk through perception and rote learning. I want this chap at my next music education workshop! Cheers from Rochester! MP

they should have got penn there to say "and now for our most elaborate magic trick..." then teller could just say "hello..."

His rose trick is amazing. We'll worth watching if you haven't seen it

That was awesome. Very great way to state those ideas.

Teller is amazing at what he does, and he has a nice voice TOO! Yay!

So delightful to see a real professional at work, doing what he does best, and doing it so well.

in a interview, teller says that he does not talk in is shows because it makes the shows more interesting, you as the person, needs to figure out what is happening.

Honestly thought he would sound exactly like that. He gave great advice advice for magic as well

Still impressing after so many years!

mind blowing is right.... this man is truly amazing... much respect.. i still want to know how he does the bullet catch however.

I like his voice..very nice.

He's so adorkable. =] I love P&T.

I have barely seen Peen&Teller and I was amazed to see Teller talk!!!! so yeah that's why i'm suprised^_^

we can all die in peace now

Janel was an emotional individual; she was perfect for this.

Teller is one of the most underestimated magicians and, quite frankly, speakers in my opinion. His sleight of hand is masterful. He would make a good teacher come to think of it.

1. He has the silky voice of an angel. 2. He explained the trick but i was watching it and still no understanding it.

Teller is fantastic silent and speaking!

he is brilliant!

this is a great video........i learnt something ......thanks

love this guy

You are so right that bit is hilarious!

his voice is beautiful :3

i have now heard teller's voice. i can die happy now.

Aalaa... Zabardastly Awesome :)

I wish there was more because its a great rare insight

Holy shit he can talk

Teller and Silent Bob need to do a movie together. I'd pay ten bucks to see that!

I love Teller.

One of my favourite tricks.

great talk

Wow! I love his voice! It reminded me of christian bale’s.

excellent video, tellers a genius!

wow, so fast, even when he shows it and explains you still don't catch the move...hes THAT good

Good Video!

IT'S A MIRACLE!

Awesome, i have been waiting ofr years to hear his voice. I taught it would be a bit more squeeky. Go Teller :D

Teller... ROCKS!

Damn, thats really interesting. Teller isnt not just able to perform, but he also fully understand what the phenomena is. Its marvelous.

usually his genius is released in bursts but when he's TALKING while doing his amazing tricks it's an OVERLOAD.

what genius logic! i love it!

MY MIND CANNOT HANDLE THIS.

I have met teller I can safely say that's his voice

wow he has an awesome voice wow

Indeed, he started doing the silent bit while performing for groups of college students. He found that they shut up and paid more attention/less heckling to a silent magician than someone who was talking.

Legend

Teller is fraking amzaing! I knew that he had those coins palmed but I just couldn't tell. Amazing!

He has a very nice voice!

He should have brought Penn up there and done a live performance of bullshit with him talking and penn being the mute

my thought exactly.

I did not expect him to have that kind of voice! Haha, thats awesome!

Teller is incredible.

Thank you Teller. Holy. Shit. Mate.

I understand why he doesn't talk now, I think he is too nervous to talk, but when he performs, he is INCREDIBLE! Plus, Penn talks enough for the both of them. ^^ On a more serious note, I find him to be a magnificent individual who really shouldn't be so nervous. He is so captivating, even when he "dropped the ball", he probably felt very anxious, but if the people in the audience are anything like me, they could have cared less, because all they wanted was to hear and see him.

YAY! He is talking!!! :D

Sounds nothing like I expected. He speaks very well.

WOW!! That's his voice.

He has a really nice voice!!!! =D

8-O teller actually talked! Awsome advice!!!

much softer voice than I thought he'd have

He speaks!

He has a much higher voice than I thought he would.

I like him. He seems like an alright man.

He even told me how he did it, but I still don't k ow how he did the glasses

Wow, he has a nice voice.

Omg his voice is so soothing,like some British professor.Idk why one time on Fool Us someone asked him to recite a poem and he pointed his middle finger
