Behind the Scenes: "How do you interview two people when only one of them talks—Penn? It's actually a little odd, because the entire time Penn is speaking, Teller is doing things—little bits of physical business—in the manner of Stan Laurel. Like many of the others here in this video collection, Penn & Teller are total originals in their approach to performing. You could say 'magic is magic' but these guys added humor and irreverence while still maintaining a respect for the greats in the field who proceeded them. It was hard to get them to do anything on this show—watch for just a small piece of magic. If you get a chance to see their act you'll see enlarged personas of the two guys with me in this interview. Click, before they disappear. By the way, there is nothing wrong with Teller's voice, it's quite pleasant, they just designed the act so he would never say anything." —Bill Boggs
