Who are the men that make up the Penn & Teller duo?

Penn Fraser Jillette is one half of the magical duo, and along with being a magician, he’s also known as an actor, inventor, TV host, musician, and, as mentioned before, author. When they perform onstage together, Penn is usually the one who does all the talking.

Raymond Joseph Teller is the other half of the duo, known for being a movie director, painter, and actor, along with being a magician and author. When he hits the stage, he's the part of the act who remains pretty quiet, does a lot of mime work, and leans on nonverbal communication above all else.

They bounce off each other’s energy really well and that’s clearly why they’ve reached the net worth they have today.
