Teller (born Raymond Joseph Teller; February 14, 1948) is an American magician, illusionist, writer, actor, painter, and film director. Teller legally changed his birth name of "Raymond Joseph Teller" to the mononym "Teller". He is half of the comedy magic duo Penn & Teller, along with Penn Jillette, where he usually does no speak during performances. Teller's trademark silence originated during his youth, when he earned a living performing magic at college fraternity parties. He found that if he maintained silence throughout his act, spectators refrained from throwing beer and heckling him and paid more attention to his performance. Penn Fraser Jillette (born March 5, 1955) is an American magician, actor, musician, inventor, television presenter, and author, best known for his work with fellow magician Teller as half of the team Penn & Teller. The duo has been featured in numerous stage and television shows, such as Penn & Teller: Fool Us and Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, and is currently headlining in Las Vegas at The Rio. Jillette serves as the act's orator and raconteur. Jillette has published eight books, including the New York Times Bestseller, God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales. Penn & Teller know travel! They've taken every mode of transportation from motorcycles to the QE2 and stayed everywhere from Motel 6 to The Plaza (Motel 6 is better -- they explain why).

How to Play in Traffic isn't just for travelers.
