- Watch me return and Fool Penn & Teller: • Youngest Returner FOOL...
It was crazy watching my 1st performance with my hero in Magic, Teller. Yes he does talk! I grew up watching him on TV and his unique style of magic has greatly inspired my career. If you enjoyed watching, please share :) I'm confident anyone watching will take away value!

I never thought this was possible! Teller was a real legend doing this with me :) Make sure you're subbed so you can see more like this
Must be a magical experience alone to be close enough to Teller to make videos with him. I will always remember this routine from Fool Us. Superb performance
I know how it works, I'm a member of the magic castle. Beautifully executed and 100% thumbs up on design:) You did great. I'm not surprised that teller allowed you to video this. I love the way you just made the photo pop out. I saw you live and loved it as well:) Like it and subscribe everyone. Great talent deserves credit.
You should pin this comment bud!
Jason Staques thank you Jason!
Gained a sub here! I love listening to Teller talk, he's so elegant and intelligent
No wonder they don't let Teller speak on the show.
His voice flows like honey from the magic honey comb it should be preserved like national treasure.
Truly magic
Agreed. I always wondered what his speaking voice was like. Could listen tohim all day.
He does have a very nice voice. Reminds me of my uncle.
@@coko-ok5300 It is very true, a very pleasant voice, and ironic that he stays silent.
Pen knew he had severe competition so he made sure to silence it before it could take over his role.
Teller is the most likable person in this universe.
Because he know when it is time to speak up and when not xD such a Legend this man
Yeah
he is like the bob ross of magic
And Keanu Reeves.....
@@Shedding got to it before me
I cant believe teller is 72, he looks like hes in his 50s. great interview
Hmmm. I think 60s
@@carsondiaz667 I think 70's, maybe about...hmm 72?
have you ever seen a 50, 60 and 70 yo? he looks 65 minimum, but yeah a little younger than he is actually
"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.
He is a wizard that why.
For a guy that doesn't speak, he speaks so eloquently
Typical for people with a passion for Greek and Latin. I don't know why, but they speak sooo lovely.
he does speak just not during a show.
Since he spends so much time not speaking, maybe his voice is somehow being preserved, resulting in that beautiful velvety flow. I dont know, but the rhythm, cadencing, rising and falling of his phrases, all put together just make for an awesome voice. Show business needs more voices like Teller's!
wasnt he a teacher of linguistic, so like he teached vocubalry ect.
@@EmoryBlake4Music you know he talks right? he just don't talk during 1 hour show.
guys kevin is really good at ventriloquism. Teller's just lip syncing.
Shhhhh
🤣
Spoilers.. Helllooooooooo
Wow, i was fooled. That was so well done. Amazing.
@@KevinLimagic what's your country of origin? You look part Chinese, Korean, Singaporean 😂👍
I met Teller on the street in Baltimore once. He took off his glove to shake my hand. Such a gentleman. He was so nice. I was shocked to hear his voice. Haha.
Dan ! Funny seeing you here I've been binge watching your patron. Pen and teller are great, my family is a long line of stage hands in Vegas and everyone says that they are kind.
🧢
I don't know if it's just me, but did you also feel like he'd be British? That was a bit of a shock to me personally, and I don't know exactly what made me suspect that. Just years of an active imagination at work, I guess.
@@jaerivus Haha he kind of looks British. Then again, all those white guys have British roots lol
He took off his gloves cuz he wants to infect u with covid
1:03 Teller gives his undivided attention to this young man. I can't tell you how rare that is, just to have someone listen to you without ego or waiting to respond. He just listens. Teller seems like an amazing human being.
ty for reminding me of that moment! he just seems so interested, it's very heartwarming
He is so engaging and loves to talk to his audience after shows.
I have seen Teller talk before, but just hearing him speak confuses my brain. He has a really nice voice, though.
I know right?! My jaw dropped when he spoke so much in the first few minutes!
Yeah like his face dont fitted his voice
Joycons Boyz for life man
Absolutely. Joycon Boyz for life!
That’s what I was thinking I actually like listening to him speak cause he is very well spoken
Teller is such a high quality person. Read the brushwood story and you see he actually cares about people
He’s the best!
Any chance of a link? My Google fu is failing me
@@TheMatthooks Brian Brushwood once found teller's e-mail and sat on it for a while and finally sent off a ranting e-mail because he was frustrated at not being able to find his own style and 'voice' in magic because he looked up to P&T so much and didn't want to be branded a ripoff of them (he even tried a duo act) and much to his surprise teller wrote back and gave him advice that helped him actually become a somebody.
@@SKRUBL0RD I love Brian! I had no clue about that! That’s awesome
@@SKRUBL0RD thank you
I've watched Penn & Teller shows for 35 years, but I've never seen Teller behind the scenes.
The incredible humility and love of the art that Teller has... it's really moving. He's so encouraging. 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.
I saw them at the Rio; after the show both Penn and Teller talk to and take pictures with every single audience member. Teller was very polite. Penn jammed on the bass while everyone was getting to their seats.
This is literally thee first time I have ever heard Teller talk like no joke lol I’m 34 and I’ve never heard him talk before. So when I saw the title I’m like 😱 what he talks in this video click click click!! Lol 😂 not only is he awesome magician he’s a very humble and wise man. I can listen to him talk forever just story’s and advice on life. He had that calm voice you just wanna listen to lol
I like hearing Teller talk. He’s got so much insight into the psychology of magic & fooling people in general, that it’s a shame that he rarely gets an opportunity to share it.
Absolutely! I’m happy to share this with you all :)
He does, just not during magic shows.
Most of his speaking is among other magicians
I think they made a good decision back in the day to let the VERY brash penn large as life do the talking. he seems far too empathic to be a frontman.
@@trenvan5546 instead he's the brains of the operation, even Penn himself has said that Teller is the much better magician
I don't think it's about opportunity. He clearly chose to not speak on stage.
Best piece of advice I’ve heard, “keep your overhead low”....no need to buy an expensive house or expensive cars or live a lavish lifestyle
Absolutely!! That was my favorite too
Kevin Li 💯 big fan btw
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.
Thats some of the best advice I've ever heard and will remember that always.
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!
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!
I think you stay young when you enjoy what you do
I can cross hearing Tellers voice off my bucket list
They say one shouldn't meet their heroes. Teller is an exeption to that rule, I'd imagine.
Fun fact: after their shows, Penn and Teller will stay after the show until everyone gets their photo and Autograph. They’re just amazing showmen as they are amazing humans
Honestly I fear covid will end that for them. When shows return next year at earliest, they will be 73 and 66. That's high risk and olddd.
@@everhirstseyt2667 I’m pretty sure both penn and teller are both very healthy, I think they’ll be fine for the next 10 or so years
@@ikon1403 Penn is as tall is he looks too. He calls everyone boss for some reason.
I have heard Teller speak before. But this is the most in-depth interview/conversation with him. Such a delight.
Teller has so many great stories that most people will never hear.
WOW WOW, Thank you man because I always thought that
Teller was speech impaired.
First time seeing Teller speaking.
What a surprise, and he is so cute.
teller's right... magic cant be shared over social media... like i dont care, anyone can do anything with video editing... but seeing it right in front of your eyes is an amazing experience...
They are two different styles but yes, magic in person will always be the best experience!
that's the problem, on social media and video in general your mind can just take the easy way out and go for "it's shopped!"... with a live performance there is no easy way out, it 's just what you see (or don't see) but it's all on you!
@@derangemeldete there's a lot of things in real life that influence this as well, but yes it is nice to say "I WAS THERE AND YOU WEREN'T!", it makes you feel very big
my best friend did a card trick for me that was honest magic and i had to excuse myself to the bathroom to cry in happiness. she said "i can show you how it's done" and i said "uh sorry, no, that was magic, you're a witch." she shuffled the deck in front of my eyes so many times and STILL pulled my card. I'm 29, she's 31. Ages don't reeeeally matter but just wanted to say, you can be almost 30 and still happy-cry when magic is done.
Wow. The biggest reveal ever. I've watched P and T since the early 80s and came to accepted that Teller doesn't speak. And then to hear him so eloquent and caring to Kevin is just fantastic. What a gentleman and performer. It would be fun to hear Teller argue with Penn just once.
If you been watching since the 80s, then you surely have heard him speak countless times. He's never took the gimmick off stage
I love teller, his way of not speaking when performing is a true art In itself, his micro expressions are what makes teller the best at the silent partner role.
Teller is such a cool guy. As big and famous as he is, to take the time to have a real conversation with a young kid and to actually listen to and respond to what he's saying with no pretension whatsoever is really great to see.
Tellers voice is beautiful and very comforting. He sounds like my grandfather, very caring and soft.
I love how you dressing a suit and Teller just chilling in shirt and shorts.
While Teller is an AMAZING magician... imagine having him for a teacher in school! The world kinda missed out on having that man influence so many children.
He looks so genuinely interested in Li's story what a gem
Big fan of Penn and Teller, can confidently say this is the first time I've ever Teller say more than two words. I'm a bit jealous but also extremely thankful you shared this. I don't know who you are and what you have done other than this video. With that being said, smashing that subscribe button. If the the man, the myth, the legend, will sit down with you and have a conversation.... sign me up.
Happy to share! Thanks! Check out my channel for more :)
I love Teller's voice. It's such a shame we don't hear it more. I can imagine he was a fantastic teacher and I'd love to hear more about his views on life.
The lofi hip hop music and teller's voice is so perfect it's like listening to a chill podcast
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.
“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!
Thank you Robert! I live by that.
Being a magician seems a lot like dating. In the beginning, when you're trying to impress, you dress nice, fix your hair and look like handsome Kevin here. And once you've been married for 40 years, you just lounge in shorts like Teller, haha.
hahaha 😂 ABSOLUTELY!
Also, you tend to start with your best finger-flingin' tricks, but end up with the same ol' shuffle in the end!
169th like!!!
For real tho. Good one
@@goldeneddie Whew! You said flingin' not fingerin'.
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,
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.
Everything about Teller is so comforting. He just seems so lovely to be around
I love how Kevin is all dressed up and teller is just so casual
Came to see Teller speak. Stuck around till the end for his words of inspiration. Such an amazing person he is !
So true!! 🕴🏻👏🏼
4:24 The timing between Teller's face and that sound is accidentally HILARIOUS.
i laughed so hard at that part, and i thought it was my own pc doing the perfect timing, 'till i rewound lol
It’s from Zelda the Windwaker.
Lmaoo
I had the privilege to meet both Penn & Teller over 30 years when they had the humility to come out and meet all their fans personally after a Vegas show. I remembered what a impression that made, and it is awesome to see them on Fool Us still giving feedback and inspiration to a new generation of magicians.
I went to a Penn & Teller show in Vegas in Jan 2020. Only Teller was outside in the hallway chatting with fans; I got to meet him! An absolute gentleman.
Ok views are telling how many people really wanted to hear teller voice.
You can hear Teller's voice anywhere, for this video, I think the fascination is wanting to know why exactly Teller started tearing up with this trick.
wow, that's so cool! i don't think i've ever seen teller speak so much! he really shared some wisdom with you
Absolutely!!
Teller's eyes speak volumes as he listens. He is a great communicator.
I’ve had the very fortunate opportunity to meet both Penn and Teller, and they are the most sincere, incredible and beautifully humble people! Teller is the relative we all wish we had in our families.
This was such a joy to watch. The wisdom, insight and inspiration he’s sharing with but just this young magician, but to an endless amount of people, who will see this video!!
Stay healthy during the pandemic everyone 💕
Kevin you’re such an inspiration! As an Asian-American, I completely relate to your act and you inspire me to continue practicing my magic so I can get as good as you!
Thank you Kent!
i love how interested Teller is, you can see how intent he is on listening to him talk. I hope Teller talks more, he's a very intelligent man.
I remember I’ve been watching penn and teller for a while now. I’m not lying when I say, I remember your act for the same reasons teller is saying... the most important thing to me is the way you portray the magic
Teller is all class, all passion!!! Great soul, with a great talent!!!
You make magic not just fun to watch, but an experience that everyone NEEDS to be apart of. And no Wonder why your performance was so cool!! You brainstormed with Shin Lim??! Genius!! You’re wise beyond your years. I hope you keep up the amazing work!
Thanks Lori!
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.
Ciel Also he held a card in his mouth... That’s a classic Shin Lim move XD
Teller is clearly as impressed as the rest of us. congratulations on your talent and hard work!
I saw Penn and Teller live in Colorado... they always meet fans and take pictures afterwards so I got to meet them both. They were both so kind and pleasant. Teller himself took the selfie on my phone.
I love teller. Such a wise man. also just a magical genius. he's done so much cool stuff on fool us alone.
So heartwarming! I've heard him talk many times. Evertime I feel like its a magic trick. He reminds me of my grandpa. Always soft spoken and always has a great point, like everybreathe has a meaning, zero wasted oxygen from him. Simply amazing guy!!
Teller is always intrigued when he's having a (non-verbal) conversation. I love it!
I am 68 years old and this is the first time I have ever heard him talk. I did see him in the hallway with Penn where I worked the research institute USAMRIID.
Very first time hearing tellers voice. I remember first seeing you on fool us and was amazed how someone only a few years older than me was able to have so much talent and compete on the big stage. Great video and keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the kind words Alec!
@@KevinLimagic dude, you got Teller to talk.... that's real magic. 💯
Teller is an absolute legend it's so awesome that he did this
He’s the goat!
New Fan here from AGT, I was waiting for you to perform again there, I like your big picture frame trick, Good luck, be good always and be handsome forever!
You’re both amazingly talented.
I didn't think I'd ever hear Teller's voice - this video was super nice and inspiring!
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.
He DOES speak! First time I've heard his voice in 35 years of watching him. Amazing! 😁
Thank you. Mr. Teller was most gracious to agree in doing this video. And, I thank you for showing him the respect he as earned. This video speaks highly of both you and Teller. Great job.
seriously did not know he actually talked! Thanks for sharing Kevin!
My pleasure! Hope you got some value from this
Teller has interesting logo on his shirt, its a bunny with crossed bones. This is probably some brand i dont know of... But what makes this interesting is the fact that Penn and Teller always did reminds me of Sam & Max for some reason, lol
that logo on his shirt is the logo of Psycho Bunny It was once a popular clothing brand you don't see it to much anymore though.
its psycho bunny.
The most amazing thing about hearing Teller's voice is how fast you forget about it being a thing, because what he has to say is so much more interesting than the novelty of hearing him say it.
Hearing teller speak never ceases to amaze me...it took me over 20 years to hear his voice I actually thought he was a mute...so when I first heard him speak I was like WTF!!! Lol
Wow, Tellers voice is like silk. So smooth and relaxing.
What a lucky young man. It’s so sweet that you’ve inspired Teller. It reminds me of how teachers inspire their students, but people don’t often say it, but the students can also inspire the teachers.
I've known for quite awhile that Teller is an articulate and intelligent fellow.
Kevin, how you developed this relationship with him, is probably a story unto itself.
I REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT KEY WORD, TALKING. THANKU FOR SHARING THAT YOU BOTH CAN TEACH US BY BEING PERSONAL TO EACH OTHER ABOUT WHAT YO DO TO AMAZE US AS THE AUDIENCE.
Great job capturing this moment with your great minds and sharing it. Thanks!
Wow! First time, to hear Teller speaks! Amazing!
Getting to see the thought behind it is wonderful. Love this!
I flippin love this. Not only cuz of the amazing magic, but also the touching and emotional story you add to it. It just makea that trick so much more personal. Absolutely amazing! Thank you.
Fascinating. Love hearing advice and stories from Mr. Teller. Thank you!
Absolutely love this, Teller is pushing the future of magic. Personally I'm happy to know that magic will thrive in the future and that people like kevin will be the future legends of magic.
this was such an awesome video, two people who have achieved greatness in their own way, with a great respect for each other having a conversation. kevin, i dont think you can understand how awesome this is to watch for me, the viewer
His voice is so soft and kind I hope hes having a good day
Absolutely incredible Kevin Li one of my absolute favorites on fool us and Teller I cannot describe how inspirational he is, in fact I'm absolutely speechless!!!
That is beautiful magic. It truly truly is. I felt it.
Fantastic! Thank you for this amazing insight into another world.
Great video Kevin! Nice to see wisdom and insight from different generations of magicians! (I've talked to Teller after one of their shows [seen them multiple times even at a private event, so I know he speaks!] ) Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing more!
This was a brilliant video. You don't even need to be a fan of magic for this video to be special. All of what you and Teller said can be applied to so many different things. Fantastic video
This is terrific! I've not heard Teller in such an extended dialogue. Just more proof of how great P&T are - and even better that Teller had been a teacher! And like the best teachers who live on in their students through their teaching, so magic is so much about mentoring others and creating genealogies that continue to live. So moving.
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.
Congratulations Kevin, what a wonderful achievement. It must have been incredible to meet and impress Teller. He's one of my heroes. All the best for the future my friend.
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.
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
Teller seems so cool and really cares for upcoming magicians, keep doing what you love, very enjoyable.
Thank you so much for that last pice of advice teller.
i love hearing him speak, really pleasant to listen to. loved the video.
A great magician with a great future. keep on getting better, my man.
This was the first time I've ever heard Teller speak! He seems like a genuinely nice guy.
I'm so jealous of Penn. He gets to hear Teller talk all the time. What a wonderful voice.
so refreshing to hear teller speak.
Congratrz Kevin
"i rarely think about making other people feel something. i think mostly about how to make myself feeling something." -Teller
He said that as soon as u read wow
Kevin Li: "Now, Teller, this is a special occasion. I'm going to be dressing up for it."
Teller: "Alright, I'll bring my formal voice."
Love hearing Teller kick it and talk. He's a cool dude!
It's so nice to hear Teller talk about his own history and his approach to making his magic meaningful. Kudos for a really good video.
