Penn & Teller at the Rio Hotel

Penn & Teller is a popular headliner show now performing at the Rio Las Vegas. The duo can be defined as eccentric magicians with a psychotic twist.

This comedy duo presents an amusing show of magic, illusion, comedy with hilarious audience interaction. A jazz pianist accompaniment adds another unique touch to the show.

Their specialty array of gory tricks and clever pranks are designed for shock appeal, yet presented in a humorous manner.

Penn & Teller brings an extra special element through the expression of their own personalities. Penn presents himself as a narrator providing commentary of the comedic antics going on. Teller is the silent type,  a la Harpo Marx., that keeps the audience engaged while providing the show’s action.

Sometimes, the pair will claim to reveal a secret of how a magic trick is done. But, everyone knows that a magician should never reveal their secrets.

Many of the interesting illusions Penn & Teller present are invented by the duo for the purpose of exposing the secret  to the the audience.  Their creative intuitiveness is interesting and entertaining.

Some of their routines include the disappearing ball and cup, knife throwing with audience participation, disappearing and reappearing objects, and an array of card tricks. Some tricks are industry standards but Penn & Teller play them out in such a unique and talented manner that the audience gives rave reviews.

A repertoire of risky stunts that Penn & Teller have performed in their days include hanging upside-down over a bed of spikes in a straitjacket, being run over by an 18-wheel tractor-trailer and near drowning in a large container of water.

One thing is for sure, there’s magic and lots of it. The show is creative and edgy. Illusion and humor are expertly blended in a manner designed to entice, stump, and most certainly amuse.
