Penn & Teller

About the Show

Penn & Teller have been performing together for over 50 years and headlining at the Rio since 2001 — one of the longest Las Vegas residencies in history. They are also the hosts and executive producers of Penn & Teller: Fool Us on The CW, which means the 1,500+ magicians who’ve tried and failed to fool them on TV are essentially endorsing how hard their material is to crack.

The show mixes genuine world-class sleight of hand with sharp, subversive comedy and the duo’s signature trick of explaining exactly how an illusion works — and then doing it again, even more impossibly. Penn & Teller are known for staying after shows to meet fans, though availability varies by date.

Choose it when you want a genuine Vegas institution with real intellectual depth behind the comedy. Skip it if you need to be on the Strip, want a large production spectacle, or prefer straight theatrical magic without the deconstruction.
