Who was that man in the shadows?

So I flipping around on the tv and the History channel has what seems to be a Houdini birography. I watch as it was at the point where he was exposing supposed mediums. It cuts to an expert that is speaking about Houdini, and I think "I know that voice..." and I start laughing! You see this expert was in "shadow" like someone talking about the Mafia! But he HAD to be!

Very very clever!

I think that's "Teller" of "Penn and Teller". I was reading his bio on wik the other day and in the part called "Teller speaks" (listing the times he has spoken) it talked about him doing the Houdini show but being shown in shadow.

I don't get it.

I saw Penn&Teller live just a little while ago, and after the show he quite nicely talks to the audience in the lobby. (I even have evidences.)

Teller speaks more often than most people realize. Anyone that's ever met them (such as after the stage show in Vegas) has heard him speak. He spoke on Penn & Teller's Magic & Mystery Tour. And he frequently speaks during other shows, when he's off screen so people are never quite sure if it's him or not.
