(It only seems fair.)
Teller speaks.
For many of us, this is not much of a revelation. But whether you have or have not heard the eloquence that is The Voice of Teller, I have a surprise for you.

All Things Considered, July 12, 2005 · Teller, the usually silent half of the magician duo Penn and Teller, reviews the book, The Glorious Deception, by Jim Steinmeyer. It’s a biography of the magician known to audiences as Chung Ling Soo, who Teller says was a genuine enigma.
Given the subjects of this and the last two posts, I’m thinking of changing the subtitle of Escamoteurettes to “All Penn & Teller, all the time!”
Or maybe not. I haven’t really decided.

You’ve destroyed my whole perception of him with this clip !! I always thought Teller would sound like Stan Laurel.
Ever hear Harpo Marx speak? I think I have a clip on my computer somewhere that came from the tapes he created while dictating his autobiography to Roland Barber. It’s *nothing* like what you’d expect.
“The Glorious Deception” is an excellent book, and definitely deserves all the positive reviews it’s gotten.
