Penn & Teller

Penn & Teller is an epic magic show production in Las Vegas that brings together the great talents of the comedy duo.

The two talented performers, Penn Jillette and Teller, have been in the entertainment industry for close to four decades, and Vegas visitors can watch them live at the Penn & Teller Theater at the Rio Hotel & Casino.

The edgy show is one of the longest-running headlining acts in the city’s long history, and this explains in part why the duo continues to attract visitors in their numbers. Penn is the show’s orator and does most of the speaking, while Teller largely takes on the show’s communication through gestures and miming. The two also build on these strengths to make the perfect combination of magic and comedy in the city.

One of the highlights of this show, and certainly what sets it apart from other magic shows in Las Vegas, is that the duo seemingly breaks all the rules of the magic world. These often include revealing how a magic trick is done and preparing for an act in front of the audience. The duo is unique because they flout all these rules and still manage to captivate audiences with their stellar performances.

The Penn & Teller show also incorporates certain aspects of sleight of hand during the performance. What makes this show a must-enjoy is that the magic tricks are, for the most part, simply ingenious. So, in addition to swallowing goldfish and needles, the show’s extra touch mystifies and mesmerizes the audience.

If there is one magic show to attend in Las Vegas, it has got to be the Penn & Teller Show! The 90-minute show is open to audiences five years and older and runs between Thursday and Sunday, at 9pm.

This show is a must-see for visitors who want to enjoy unconventional magic with one of the city’s most exciting duos. Check out the option of a ‘meet-and-greet’ session after the show for an amazing Las Vegas experience.
