Penn and Teller with John Cleese

I know and we went we went through this that you wanted to see some close-up you want to see something small but the problem is John that that a deck of cards although it's easy to get on camera and it's fine for you is very very small for the people sitting in the bat people sit in quite a ways back and this is kind of a boring prop to use so just to give those people something to look at while we're doing the card trick I was going to go over here and grab another little prop and then I'll be right back so uh we'll just do that here watch your ass Rosie Thank You Robbie the other guy this is teller this is my partner teller what was it John please teller teller John please tell her I'm gonna do a card trick and go don't do not be uncomfortable god forbid we should ever make anyone uncomfortable teller is not holding his breath now as you can see by the bubbles coming up the regulator in his mouth teller is breathing relatively comfortably through this scuba tank and will not actually stop breathing until the card trick proper begins hi John you've won favor take the lock that Java has there leave him not even take the lock uh-huh and feed it through the hash and lock him securely in his underwater coffin a certain duel mechanic over hey here we are okay and tellers holding a key here he's holding the key to the to the lock and indeed quite literally to his life and his up stretched left hand and his sworn on his honor as a gentleman that he will not relinquish that key into these supremely skilled hands find your card now the tank was designed specifically for teller as you can see there are metal bars that come down from the top that stopped him from forcing his nose or mouth or the surface to breathe that glorious air that we too often take for granted now for those of you who are trivia buffs the world's record for holding ones breath on purpose is 4 minutes and 35 seconds and as held as we all know by the great Harry Houdini is easier Rosie I've not forgotten about you but I can do is stare right at tellers lips and the second that regulator comes out of his mouth the very instant can no longer breathe just punch that button try to stand your mark there that's what another part of your job and then just make sure it's going up so get ready get your thumb on the balls gonna have a very quick thing John to be kind enough just grab the hose there and wrench the regulator out of his lips please Oh Robby can we lose this please thank you is it going there Rosie yeah good good good don't push it more than once what are you doing don't just keep pushing it you have to push it just one two let it be going oh okay yeah you've got the date on here somehow here there we go let's just uh let's just pretend let's just pretend we're starting right there okay that's the 16 second little glitch teller know I've got a deck of cards for you here I'll just examine that card which is nothing unusual about him at all oh wow looks all right would you open the deck please yeah give me that that's seconds nicely done Rosie Mike rip it open there yeah and you might want to break the seal to almost won't sure that that hasn't been damaged at all just love looks generally through and then you want to pull the deck out there John okay and we'll just throw the deck on the floor me not the deck for the Box on the floor I get the advertising cards the Joker's lose those Joker's on the back I believe John and they get the cards of Thoreau shuffle and take your time shuffling John Lee shove a shred of human decency anywhere in your soul I mean I shoot on Rosi right on now I have not touched the deck before now it's my first time touching the deck and John as you see all shuffled dear nicely nicely shuffle John as you see John my hands are empty there I'm just gonna take the deck and I will just fan it out and take any one card please John obviously don't let me see it any one car and then wait till my back is turned and then hold it up so that they can see which place he's showing the carnitine nicely dog Rosie now John take this magic marker and write your name across the face of the car the side of the car that's different from all the others when you bring your name across there John please put the cap back on the marker hand it back to me and then hold it up so y'all can see your name on there please John and I'm gonna turn around now please conceal the card from me John if you would conceal the card from me good and don't bend it cuz you know if you're bendy put a Crip but it's a little bit too easy to find do you

know there's a junk - yeah minutes yeah thank you there's a John is a rule there's a rule in circus though never someone is attempting a dangerous stunt they themselves responsible for their own rigging so hold up high wire may be set by roustabouts it's always the Walker himself that checks the final turn buckles who was clearly tellers responsible to make sure this was the right key and I don't think there's a court in the world that could blame you John even though you locked him in and took away his only air supply I have a very important announcement to make I would like to dedicate all the channel 4 shows to be entitled simply the unpleasant world of pen to my ex-partner let's gaze once again on the face of the one true hero of our generation ladies and gentlemen my ex-partner

Looks like Penn puts the card in the tank at 6:50.

It's hard to tell if Cleese was actually in on the whole thing.

[u/IAmCanadian]

I love John Cleese.

Teller has an air tube in his left sleeve connected to his nose.

[u/sweatpantsboner]

If he was breathing a higher oxygen mixture, it would be no problem for him to hold his breath for that long.

WAS TELLER OKAY?!

I love John Cleese and Penn & Teller, but that was really lame.

[u/jonny2hats]

E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This Teller is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-TELLER!!
