Penn and Teller        

The Consummate Pairing of Skeptics & Magicians With a Psychotic Twist

Penn & Teller are a dynamic duo known for their unparalleled blend of magic, comedy, and skepticism. Since joining forces in 1975, they've captivated audiences worldwide with their unique brand of entertainment. Teller's silent, enigmatic magic perfectly complements Penn's boisterous humor and juggling prowess, creating an unforgettable stage presence.

Their journey began in small clubs and on the streets, but their talent quickly propelled them to national theater tours and eventually to a multi-year residency in Las Vegas, where they became one of the city's most beloved acts. With an impressive five wins as "Las Vegas Magicians of the Year," their decade-long stint in Vegas solidified their status as legends of the Strip.

Penn & Teller's influence extends far beyond the stage. Their Emmy-winning TV specials and long-running Showtime series, "Penn & Teller: BS!," have garnered critical acclaim for their fearless exploration of controversial topics and dedication to debunking myths. From alien abduction to gun control, they fearlessly tackle subjects that others shy away from.

Beyond entertainment, Penn & Teller are accomplished authors, with three best-selling books to their name. They've also contributed to publications ranging from The New York Times to Playboy, showcasing their wit and intellect. Their academic accolades include serving as Visiting Scholars at MIT and lecturing at prestigious institutions like Oxford University and the Smithsonian Institution.
