Teller Reacts to my 1st Fool Us Appearance - TELLER SPEAKS

[@metaspherz]

"Age ain't nothin' but a number," is relevant because people age differently depending on their lifestyle, health, where they live, and genetics. But more importantly, most people can't guess other people's ages accurately. Just give them the leeway of about a decade and they'll guess a person's age group accurately most of the time. IMO, Teller definitely looks like he's in the early-60s to early-70s age group.

Since he spends so much time not speaking, maybe his voice is somehow being preserved, resulting in that beautiful velvety flow.

And he allows himself to still be amazed by magic after half a century of practicing it. How many of the rest of us can claim to still be surprised and amazed by our own professions, after so much time? Teller is so inspiring.

[@brolohalflemming7042]

Especially in entertainment. You're the next big thing! You're the big thing! Then the only agents calling are collections. Thing I love about magic is even though I'm a rational (mostly) engineer, I love being tricked. I know it's a trick, but it still makes me grin. I've travelled a lot, and always love finding street performers & close-up magicians, and I guess that's also linked to keeping overheads low. If you've got your basics covered, you can always hit the road, see new places and smiles.

[@chrisyoung5089]

Thats some of the best advice I've ever heard and will remember that always.

[@That9one1Guy]

Years ago, when I started my career, when suddenly overtime was regular and constantly available, sometimes even mandatory, and I was rolling in cash, my dad told me, "never live beyond your means, and never live on overtime. That well dries up with zero warning." Words to live by. Overhead low, expenditures stable, income consistent, and by all the gods and goddesses, save, Save, SAVE. Put money away. Try to keep at least half a years pay saved up if possible. Especially when things like Covid happened, I had that money put away, and even though my hours went through the floor, nobody in this house went hungry. No bills late, no freezer empty. Now I'm back to working more stable hours, even some overtime, and putting money back in savings. Words of Wisdom. Excellent work, and amazing magic!

[@metaspherz]

I'm about a year younger than Teller and I marvel at his youthfulness. I've been following his and Penn's magic act since they appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. They were a different kind of magic team which usually consisted of a Magician and his scantily clad distraction, er, female assistant. Penn, of course, was the endlessly talking distraction/juggler while Teller performed the REAL magic. Their act has withstood the test of time and they truly are members of the Magicians Hall of Fame!

what we are seeing here is superb example of masterful mentoring of a young man. Thanks Teller. You are mentoring about what it means to be human,

[@edfell3]

I am very curious. I easily recognize the genius in Teller. I also suspect that this genius was mentored by others in his life who have supported him. My patient teachers/mentors passed this on to me; and now me to others. What is there was a school to teach this; basically how to be MORE human; that being human is not something we are born with, but is something that can be grown in an individual but also as a culture. Or have the global shadows won. I hope my ramblings have value.

“Always share meaning in what you do”. Wise words indeed. You mentioned the speed of hooking folks into watching a video, the challenge to keep them from clicking or scrolling away after 3 seconds. But Teller states it here and you already stated it and planned your performance this way yourself: NOT to go straight for a visual trick immediately, but to hook us in EMOTIONALLY. To connect with us via a story or capturing our attention with imagination and something MEANINGFUL. It’s right there in your performance, and right there throughout this video. Truly, well done!

[@CharlesVanNoland]

I realized the other day that Fool Us is really P&T's way of giving back the success that they've had, to all the little people. It's full of heart and soul, unlike things like American Idol or whatever where it's all about laughing at the losers and watching then get cut down, and then being totally in awe of the rare few Idols. Fool Us is different. It isn't so superficial. There's a depth there. Everyone gets exposure, and even if they don't fool P&T they can still fool the audience and viewers and that's ultimately what counts. It's not about the trophy, that's a red herring IMO, but there is of course a certain fun that the challenge of striving to fool them adds to the show to where it would be boring otherwise just everyone seeing magicians come on stage over and over. It adds a little thrill to satisfy everyone's reptilian brain, but it's not the real point or purpose of the show at the end of the day.

[@thatbadger8445]

The way teller pays so much attention to him speaking is so great and wholesome, what a great guy

Actually, he pays way more attention to Kevin's words than the attention Kevin gives to Teller's. Most of the time, it seems to me that Kevin is just waiting to say something, not really listening. At certain points, he also proves that by saying something not really connected with what Teller said. I don't know if I'm right, but the impression I got is that Teller is absolutly humble while Kevin's not humble at all. An impression of mine.

[@talloncusack]

I dunno about your characterization of his voice (when you described it on Kurtis's video) as raspy low Morgan Freeman. My theory is that *you* (Kevin) hear him that way because he's your wise wizardry role model. Lol. Loved the video though, it was cute yet deep and insightful. P.S. I particularly liked Tellers thoughts on David Blaine as the father of new magic- I'm older than Kevin so I remember his stuff really vividly at the time and *everyone* was into it, not just magic fanatics.

This video is, first off, my favorite thing on the internet in this moment. Seriously, the framing, the atmosphere, the information, legend. Second, my favorite moment is actually the moment where you (Kevin Li) are showing your personality as a young, optimistic and (dare I say) a could-be arrogant man being given compliments by a more-established, comparatively "greater" man. For one shining moment, I saw a boy who KNEW he had it- and I really say "boy" only because of how young you look next to Tellar (sorry all involved!), I don't want you to feel immature or too young or anything less of yourself because you ARE NOT you are AMAZING- and I saw him take a moment, compose himself, and instead of talk about himself asked a question. I don't know all of why it was you did that. I do know that, whatever challenges you've been through that make you take that moment; I want you to know I noticed and.... It really was my favorite part.

I was lucky enough to neet Penn & Teller at a magic convention about 25 years ago. I had just seen them perform live a few days earlier. I went home and told my wife Teller has an incredible voice. Both Penn And Teller were very polite and pleasant when I talked with them. It's a thrill to find that out about two of your heroes!

10:12 I HAD A SNEAKING SUSPICION THAT SHIN HAD A HAND IN THIS! As soon as that emotional music came on during the bit, I was like "Holy crap, this music paired with this performance reminds me of Shin's performance" Edit: 10:56 Called it. The last part of your performance with the music was extremely emotional. It felt, in that moment, as if you in the audience had also went on this journey and it was coming to and end (just like the performance was), but you didn't want it to end because the journey thus far was so incredibly good. When I saw this Fool Us clip for the first time, I was on the verge of crying by the end of it and I imagine that's how the entire audience felt as well. Age aside, bravo on creating a magic routine that very *very* few magicians can manage to create and get the audience emotionally invested in.

OMG, you're standing next to a legend. Crazy thing is, you keep this up, you'll be making someone else feel the way Teller makes you feel in the future!

[@marthdaeglin]

What you said about giving a trick meaning struck a chord with me. It's easy to get very caught up with very technical elements like proper misdirection, but the best misdirection in the world won't be worth much if you don't hook the audience in the first place. People like to watch something unbelievable so you will always be able to find someone to amaze, but giving them some kind of emotional investment just makes all the other responses so much more intense.

[@KevinLimagic]

I truly believe the context and story gives meaning to all you do. I anyone watching to be able to relate in some kind of way through and allow the magic trick to be that middle point

[@MikeWangCoaching]

This was the first time I've ever heard Teller speak! He seems like a genuinely nice guy.

[@hingsing1]

seriously did not know he actually talked! Thanks for sharing Kevin!

[@KevinLimagic]

My pleasure! Hope you got some value from this

[@Java3dition]

His voice is so soft and kind I hope hes having a good day

[@possiblypoet]

“Keep your overhead low” might be the most underrated advice I’ve ever heard

[@NotPoliticalCorrect]

I REALLY loved this video .... Besides Teller speaking .... it "exposed" the love for magic you and Teller HAVE ! :P

[@pluradox]

Teller is an absolute legend it's so awesome that he did this

[@KevinLimagic]

He’s the goat!

Went to see P&T in Vegas, was super surprised they were hanging out after the show just talking to people. Teller was the one I flocked to because I had never really herd him speak publicly. What a wonderful guy, Pen was actually just as well spoken and super polite. It’s as though they have never met a stranger. Years later I caught their show again, and wouldn’t you know it, still hanging out after the show. I was already a years long fan but they way they both spoke to their customers really cemented, they love what they do. It’s a beautiful thing to see. I had similar experience with a few magicians over the years. The amazing Johnathon actually told me, magicians are your friends because they understand human nature on a different level. They spend more as much time studying people as they do tricks.

You aren't wrong about binging Fool Us episodes. It's been my saving grace as of late, but also recharged my interest in the craft. :D

[@PatriciaMooney-y7x]

Amazing! Teller is so enamoured of you he broke is signature AND let you film it! Love to Penn!

[@maximillianosaben]

It's kind of wonderful, but also very silly that people still think Teller never actually speaks. But of course he has a voice as natural as any other; it's just uncommon to witness him use it. Hearing his voice for the first time I hold very close to the first time I heard Harpo Marx's for the first time. There was something so very warming and fantastic about finally hearing their voices. Didn't ruin the act, but made it more wonderful to appreciate.

[@kd8663]

The funny thing though, is Teller sounds exactly as I would expect, but most people were so used to the goofiness of Harpo's character, that to hear such a deep and heavily New York accented voice was shocking for folks. Knowing his background, it's less shocking, but if you only knew his vaudeville character it was so discordant.

[@tlords117]

Fantastic! Thank you for this amazing insight into another world.

[@roberthull959]

I'd just like to apologize. I talked only about Teller. Your act was amazing and beautiful! Sometimes I just have a one tracked mind. You have an amazing talent and I wish you the best! Your gonna be famous for sure

[@bradforddillman7671]

Saw Penn & Teller on New Year’s Eve in Philadelphia back in the ‘90s. They did a meet and greet after the show and was great to actually talk to Teller. Great guys and a great NYE.

[@asking3196]

I don’t know why but I find this so wholesome I love it!!

[@eladiopardo1412]

I think this is the best magic story I ever seen I LOVE MAGIC!🎩

[@xBeyondSkies]

Wow!! I feel like it’s the business side of you that began this social media magic. But it’s your creativity and your dream. This is so cool! I agree with teller that yes finance is a issue but it’s not the same when you aren’t happy. It’s pointless. It’s better to find a job that you enjoy and just let the finance flow from your happiness. I’m still mind blown with magic. 😳 first off how.. and secondly wow.. you’re gifted.

[@KevinLimagic]

Thanks for the kind words Megan!
