Penn & Teller On Tour
Not exactly comedians but more than just magicians, Penn & Teller bring a quirky combination of laughs and illusions to every performance. You're ready to laugh before they even trot out their tricks, with the big, brash Penn Jillette towering over his staid, unspeaking partner Teller. And once they dip into the bag of tricks they've been perfecting since the 1970s, you're simultaneously dazzled and delighted. Whether they're working with things like magic bullets, nail guns, and straitjackets, or just employing a seemingly ordinary deck of cards to demonstrate some sleight of hand, the duo can make you doubt your own senses as they appear to make the impossible happen right before your eyes. Sometimes they toss a touch of danger into the mix, and sometimes they simply play the whole thing for laughs, but whatever illusion they're unveiling, Penn & Teller can always pull it off.
Penn & Teller Background
America's most famous magic/comedy duo actually started out as a trio in the '70s, but when third member Weir Chrisemer left in 1981, Penn Jillette and Raymond Teller (who has always gone by just his surname) continued on together, and it was then that their star began to rise. With TV appearances on such shows as Late Night With David Letterman and Saturday Night Live, a series of Broadway shows, and their own Emmy-winning special on PBS, Penn & Teller carved out a niche in show business and became household names in the process. In the years that followed, they became TV personalities in their own right, first with a Showtime series and then with Fool Us on the CW. They've earned their own star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame. They've appeared in music videos by Run-DMC and Katy Perry. They've established a record-breaking residency in Las Vegas. And throughout all of these accomplishments, Penn & Teller have shown that a big, loud guy and a small, silent guy can make people gasp and guffaw at the same time.
My husband and I were looking forward to the show and we were not disappointed there was plenty of audience participation and was great not to be picked even though I was close to the stage …pew! Even sitting that close you couldn’t tell how it was done and especially the one with the gold fish …priceless
Penn and Teller have been in my household for years, so what a thrill to see these two live in action. Funny! Plus the jazz at the first of the show was unbelievable. I was in awe the entire time, from opening to end.
Really enjoyed the show. Very relaxed, not over produced, really focused on audience involvement. Theatre was comfortable, refreshments and merchandise available. I really liked the live music before the show. A nice family friendly evening out. Highly recommend.
2024 February. Penn and Teller are just amazing. We have been watching their TV show for a few years now. I was excited to see their show live. How does this magic work? The credit card trick, the elephant trick, . . . and others were all amazing and just had my jaw drop. I also enjoyed reading their timeline which hangs outside their auditorium. Amazing all the work and steps the duo went through to get where they are. Good for them. Keep up the good wonderful magic. The world needs more wonder these days!! Thank you. The Bonds
I’ve been a fan of Penn & Teller since seeing them off-Broadway in the mid 80s. Always entertaining with fresh, new material (although I had seen some of their routines on “Fool Us”), this act is a must-see in Vegas.
I enjoy the magic Penn and Teller bring! I still can’t figure out how they do it and we were in the fifth row. I also enjoy their interaction with the audience. A great way to spend a birthday!
Loved the show. Very entertaining. Great for all ages. Went with my parents and kids and everyone enjoyed the show. Worth every penny. Will not be disappointed.
Fun for the family but not for a date night in your 30’s. The Rio environment was also a buzz kill, old, run down and wouldn’t want to go back. The show was fine but I have seen some of those magic tricks before.
We’ve watched on tv but even more amazing live. Wonderful audience participation and humour throughout the performance. A must for anyone who enjoys magic
My boyfriend has really wanted to see Penn and Teller since him and his Dad have always loved them. We are from the east coast and they did a stint in Boston but we missed it so I surprised him with tickets to the Vegas show for March. He’s been to Vegas and I have not so we made a little trip out of it. Honestly, Vegas was overhyped and I didn’t love it but seeing Penn and Teller was the highlight of the trip. I was so impressed with the audience interaction and just how fun it was. Thank you for the laughs and magic.
No spoilers, go see the show. The best show I've seen in Vegas. Laughed and was amazed equally.
We took our 6 year old who has been watching Fool Us for years and the show did not disappoint. Penn & Teller are true entertainers and we loved it. We even got to go on stage!
This was a great show, they do a fresh act not the same old thing, and lots of fun!!!
This show was fantastic, as much as the magic was so impressive the show was funny too. We were crying with laughter and so pleased that we booked it. It’s a must see whilst in vegas.
Penn and Teller are must see when you are in Vegas! Penn is hilarious and so quick witted and Teller is a fabulous magician. They are always working on new tricks so you can see them more than once and the show will be markedly dit. This show was the highlight of our Vegas trip.
Incredible! I've been a huge fan of theirs for the past 25 years, and I finally got to go. Penn spoke to me directly and involved me in one of their magic routines. It was one of the best nights in my entire life! I put it above both my weddings and my college graduation. That's not a joke. Stop laughing. Anyway, not only are they amazing magicians, but they are incredibly funny! I've never laughed so hard at a live show in my life. Because every interaction with an audience member is different, it means there was a lot of room for hilarious improv. Beyond that, the scripted humor is really good too, and seems very natural and not forced. Penn and Teller are supreme professionals, and NOBODY is better entertainers. I was beyond happy and content. If you go and don't enjoy yourself, you may be the biggest stick-in-the-mud ever! All others will have an amazing time. I recommend getting there at 8:15 to hear some great jazz music, including Penn on bass. I could listen to that shizz for hours! They are legends, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to go see them and help them out with a trick. I love them both so much, and it was a dream come true!
Great show and we had great tickets !! good use of audience participants. Magic was great and lots of laughs along the way.
We had a lot of fun at the show, but the fun lasted for a couple of days as we talked and shared within our family trying to figure out the “how”
Absolutely fantastic showmanship from two of my favourite two performers. Left totally befuddled by every trick!!!
Easily one of the best shows ever. Magic is great and the show is funny as hell! Would go again anytime.
