This was a delightful read. There's something magical about people coming together to make something happen and experience it together...

Teller wrote this?! No wonder I loved it.

For more background, see this Esquire Magazine interview with Teller from 2010

Teller, as in Penn and Teller.

The page looks quite modern for a 1997 website.
