If you'd like to meet him, even briefly, go to the Penn and Teller show at the Rio in Vegas. After every show, they hang out in the hallway and chat with the audience as they leave. They usually wait until everyone is gone before they head out. (By the way, Teller's letter mentions his version of The Miser's Dream, which is still in his act. And it's the most amazing interpretation of it I've ever seen.)

I always joked that if college didn't work out, I'd work as a street magician. As I've traveled around the country, I still make a point, time permitting, to stop by magic shops. I've yet to find one that doesn't have something from Teller written on the walls somewhere.
