 SPECIAL
GUEST
Teller
The comedic genius Teller is one half of performance duo Penn and Teller. For the last 25 years, with his comedy and magic partner Penn Jillette, Teller has been the team's silent foil. He never talks during performances and often endures extreme and dangerous conditions to execute the pair's signature tricks and stunts. Teller is the co-author of several magic books with Jillette and last fall Blast Books published his tribute to his father Joe Teller, titled, When I'm Dead All This Will Be Yours.
