Penn and Teller
Penn & Teller is the stage name for two American magicians, Penn Jillette (born 1955) and Teller (born 1948). You may know them only from Fool Us, but Penn & Teller have been around for decades.
In fact:
The pair have been performing illusions together for over 30 years and are experts in their field. They have accumulated over 40 US patents for their magic tricks during their careers.
The duo has appeared on many stages and on several television shows, including Penn & Teller: Fool Us (to the displeasure of some magicians) and Penn & Teller: Bullshit!, and is currently headlining at The Rio in Las Vegas. Jillette is the act's emcee and raconteur.
Penn Jillette and Teller were introduced to each other by Weir Chrisemer. They performed their first show together at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival on August 19, 1975.
From the late 1970s through 1981, Penn, Teller, and Chrisemer performed as a trio called "The Asparagus Valley Cultural Society," which played in Petaluma, California, at the Phoenix Theater. Penn and Teller became close friends and performed together as street magicians until 1997.

Together yet Opposite, a partnership in paradox
Which one is Penn and which one is Teller?
Penn of Penn and Teller
Penn was born in the town of Greenfield, Massachusetts. His mother, Valda Rudolph Jillette (1909–2000), worked as a secretary. Penn's father, Samuel Herbert Jillette (1912–1999), worked at the Franklin County Jail in Greenfield.
After reading the Bible in his early adolescence, Penn Jillette became an atheist.
He was later asked to leave the church after asking questions in a youth group, which allegedly made skeptics of his peers.
Penn Jillette was in the band Bongos, Bass, and Bob in 1988, during the run of the off-Broadway hit. He played bass, Dean J. Seal provided the bongos, and Rob "Bob" Elk provided the guitar (Running Elk).
In 1996, Penn Jillette had a recurring role on Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, as Drell, the head of the Witches' Council. He and Teller both appeared in the pilot with Debbie Harry as the third member of the Council. The show was created by Jillette's friend Nell Scovell.
How tall is Penn Jillette?
Penn Jillette, standing at 6'6", is the tall half.
He's the tall, loud one with his left ring fingernail painted red.
Why does Penn have one colored nail?
The juggler's red fingernail became Penn’s way of honoring his mother, Valda. She always told him to make sure everything looked presentable before stepping out into public view. She told him to keep his hands looking neat for the audience.
Why does Penn Jillette have a red fingernail?
Penn’s red-painted fingernail is not just a quirky fashion choice. The one nail painted red has a deeper meaning.
Jillette had a hard time packing for his first show. His mother told him to get an elegant manicure because people would be looking closely at his hands and he needed to keep his hands looking neat for his spectators.
But Jillette responded with red nails. Classic Penn!
It's now been almost over 20 years since he got that manicure.
Teller of Penn and Teller
Though he was born Raymond Teller, he now goes by only "Teller."
Raymond Teller was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the son of Irene B. (née Derrickson) and Israel Max "Joseph" Teller (1913–2004). His father, who was of Russian-Jewish descent, was born in Brooklyn and raised in Philadelphia. His mother came from a farming family in Delaware.
Teller was a graduate student in mathematics at Princeton University.
Chrisemer met Teller when he traveled to Princeton from New Jersey for his graduation from college. Teller and Chrisemer played humbug together to impress the ladies and became lifelong friends. Both Penn and Teller graduated from Harvard University in 1977.
Teller began performing as The Othmar Schoeck Memorial Society for the Preservation of Unusual and Disgusting Music with his virtual magician friend Weir Chrisemer. Teller met Penn Jillette in 1974. They formed the Asparagus Valley Cultural Society with Chrisemer, performing at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival and later in San Francisco.
In 1981, Jillette and Teller began performing exclusively as Penn & Teller, a partnership that has lasted to this day. Penn and Teller were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of live performance on April 5, 2013. Their star, the 2,494th to be awarded, is located near the Harry Houdini star. In addition, the Magic Castle recognized them the next day with the Magicians of The Year award.

Teller (magician) Height
At 5'9", Teller's height is "average" (for an American man).
Teller (born Raymond Joseph Teller on February 14, 1948) is the small half. But he's not as small as you'd think.
He's just always standing next to "The Sasquatch of Magic" Penn Jillette.

Reviews for "Discover the Hawaiian Dream at Vrbo Kona Magic Sands"
- Joe Smith - 1 star - I would not recommend Vrbo Kona Magic Sands. The location was not as advertised, it was noisy and crowded with tourists. The condo itself was outdated and poorly maintained. The bathroom had a leaky faucet and the kitchen appliances were old and barely usable. Overall, I was extremely disappointed with my stay and wouldn't stay here again.
- Sarah Johnson - 2 stars - My experience at Vrbo Kona Magic Sands was subpar. The check-in process was confusing and took longer than expected. The room was not properly cleaned and there were stains on the floor and bedding. The Wi-Fi was also very slow and unreliable. The noise from the nearby road was constant and affected my sleep quality. I would recommend looking for other accommodations in the area.
- Mike Thompson - 1 star - I had a terrible experience at Vrbo Kona Magic Sands. The customer service was atrocious, with unhelpful staff who seemed disinterested in resolving issues. The room itself was not up to par, with dirty walls and a musty smell. The advertised amenities were also lackluster, with a small pool that was dirty and overcrowded. I would strongly advise against choosing this property for your stay in Kona.
