If you have ever been to the Las Vegas strip chances are you have seen billboards featuring the illusion and comedy act known as Penn and Teller. The first thing you notice about Teller is he is a tiny unassuming bald dude. His partner Penn is the big fat dude with the glasses and pony tail. Teller just looks funny, especially next to Penn. He has this cartoonish quality about himself. Teller is also famous for almost never speaking on stage. Very rarely has he been heard. The team is famous for taking old classic illusions and turning them into their own versions with a comedy twist. They will often expose how their illusions are done, this has frequently upset other magicians for breaking the Golden Rule of never showing the audience how a trick is done. The group started back in 1981 and has been a Vegas headliner for years earning them millions of dollars in revenue annually. Teller’s real name is Raymond Joseph Teller but he had it legally changed to Teller. 

Here is one of Penn & Tellers funny routines called ‘The Paint Trick’.
