Great letter. Thrilled at the start where he remembers, without prodding, one of thousands of people he briefly met long before. Great insights, prompted by the questions I want to ask great people but could not put in words.
P&T have a great show. As the letter, they tell so much more than just clever tricks - they comment on the human condition. Because of its insights into Occam's Razor "Teller Smoking" is my oft-recounted favorite ... Well, that and the bullet trick, but that because I inspected Teller's bullet, shell and gun, and still have the shell I marked and the bullet (also marked) Penn "caught" and spat into my hand.
