TNT Magazine has posted an interview with Teller during the appearence of he and Penn in London. The quieter of the two shared his thoughts on the presentation of magic and the importance of the audience's participation in it.
"Sit in a theatre or play a game and you are vividly aware that you are not in a room with something impossible seeming to happen," he explains. "It's no challenge to you; you go along with it. When you watch a magic show, you know there’s entirely nothing between you and the performer on stage. You are stripped down. It's very naked."
"You can watch a performer and if you make a mistake about where reality and make-believe begins, the consequences are only a little burst of pleasure and surprise and a laugh, rather than tragedy," he adds. "People do enjoy that."
