Why is teller silent




















Although they work well together onstage, it seems that the two are not close in their real lives. It was a very cold, calculated relationship where we thought we do better stuff together than we do separately. It turns out that respect lasts longer than affection.

Although fans of the duo may be hoping that the relationship between Penn and Teller is profound, it seems the opposite is true. The two magicians realized early on in their careers that they were more likely to succeed together.

They decided to become partners not because they had a lot of love for each other, but because they wanted to perform on bigger stages. Whatever their personal relationship looks like, it's clearly worked well for their professional careers.

As Penn's quote suggests, he seems to think that affection between them might have actually made the partnership less stable.

Instead, they see one another as colleagues, and so they don't expect to be fulfilled by one another on any sort of emotional level. Although they are both incredibly competent magicians, Penn and Teller know that audiences really want to be entertained by magic. Frat houses. And I am a small man of not particularly imposing proportions or voice," Teller recalled in an interview with NPR. So I found that if I turned off all the lights except for a few lawn spotlights that I carried with me and put them on me, and then did creepy things like swallowing razor blades I found that when I did that sort of thing, they paid attention to me in a way that if I had tried to assert myself over them, they wouldn't have.

It sort of undercut any kind of heckling. Teller went on to say that although he's not the only magician to utilize silence as part of their act, he feels that the way in which he does it is unique. I think that's cheating," he said. It's very deep. Obviously, Teller can be induced to speak rather freely when he is not onstage or in front of the cameras. And if I had tried to assert myself over a room full of drunken kids groping their dates and drinking beer, they would not have paid any attention to me," he told the outlet.

Teller continued, "I found that if I turned off all the lights except for a few lawn spotlights that I carried with me and put them on me, and then did creepy things like swallowing razorblades I found that when I did that sort of thing, they paid attention to me in a way that if I had tried to assert myself over them, they wouldn't have.

It sort of undercut any kind of heckling. The CW star explained that the lack of noise also provides a deep level of intimacy, adding, "A lot of people who don't speak onstage in magic blast the audience with music that is loaded with all sorts of emotions.

I think that's cheating. And by stripping away music, by stripping away speech, there is a level of intimacy that I feel with the audience that is deep. It's very deep.
