About The Show
The Los Angeles Times declared it as the “Single Best Show in Vegas”, and they are recipients of an Obie, Emmy and the Writer’s Guild Award. Here’s where it gets interesting: they are also known as the bad boys of magic, for revealing some secrets to their tricks. Even so, they leave the audience bewildered with excitement. They also have a reputation of being a tad bit political (whoever heard of political magic shows?) Ensure you stick around post-show because Penn & Teller love their fans, and hold meet-and-greet sessions after the show.
Tip: Get a seat closer to the stage if you wish to see how the magic tricks are done.
