I am a shaman, magician

Penn and Teller are great, but Teller is hands down the more interesting and talented one.

Most of the time, Teller isn't just the better magician, he's the magician, and Penn is there to distract the audience and grab their attention. Of course, that's not really a big revelation or a hot take. It's kind of the whole point of their act. It's a really good act where they both have their part. But Penn would still be way easier to replace than Teller, and if they ever broke up, Teller would be the one still doing top quality shows.
Penn is definitely more of the showman but yeah they'll play up the "i'm just the big dumb guy" thing when fooled as well - hands down my favorite trick because I think some of Penn's anger is bordering on genuine at how good Kostya is.
