The man known simply as Teller, or often, “the silent one,” paused during a walk through Times Square, thinking about change, about the old and the new, and said, “We’re going to pull a rabbit out of a hat.”

He was not speaking metaphorically. He was talking about the coming Broadway show of the duo to which he belongs, Penn and Teller, and their new magic trick. It involves the extraction of a small mammal with large ears from a fashion accessory worn on a man’s head.

“No one does that,” Teller said, and there’s a reason: “It’s really hard.”

Penn and Teller’s six-week run at the Marquis Theater begins July 7. It will contain greatest hits from their New York shows of the 1980s and 1990s and material made popular during their longtime run in Las Vegas, the two men said in recent interviews in Manhattan.

“For 15 years, we’ve been talking about getting another New York run going,” said Penn Jillette, 60, the loud one.
