The look on Tellers face when Penn starts to speed up is priceless!!!!! These guys are geniuses. Be sure to check out the Di-hydrogen mono-oxide clip.

When they did this on SNL (original cast) it was even better. Maybe it was later and they had refined it more. I think they had Teller suspended over a bed of spikes. At the end, Penn stood up and slammed the book shut and Teller escaped at the last second. It was UNREAL.

Why does everyone see tellers silence as liability? He does it on purpose and it makes it better. Penn and Teller are more than magicians, they are comedians and actors.

They are. It's only a pity because Teller has such a wonderful voice and is quite articulate. I looked him up shortly after discovering the duo years ago and was dumbfounded. He gave a talk at Google and also talked in some documentary about the joy of being fooled by other magicians. (Maybe that gave them the idea to create Fool Us, I don't know.)

This makes me think about all the escaping acts in AGT. They made their traps and they tried to escape from them. And people were cheering for that.

Penn often calls himself the "albatros" around Teller's neck. Without Penn, he would have performed all over the globe and not just in English :)

They’re a perfect pair. Teller is silent but an expert magician and Teller is loud and bright, specifically to distract.

@DLPBurke I was worried about what would happen if Penn's hand slipped while hauling him up. I assume they have a safety lock thing in the pulley.

Is that Robert Englund at 5:04? I think he's a fan of Penn & Teller. He looked like that whenever this show was filmed, 1985/1986. Did Penn memorize most of Casey at the Bat? I noticed that he didn't look at the book all that much.

Considering how much they must have rehearsed this routine, Penn almost certainly had the whole thing memorized forwards and backwards.
