Penn &
Teller are two of the biggest names in
comedy. This duo is outrageously funny,
sophisticated, and unconventional. They mix
comedy with well choreographed magic tricks
in a way that’s intellectually stimulating
to the audience. There is no cheese here.
Penn &
Teller's edgy show is unlike any other magic
production in Las Vegas. The tall, lanky
Penn serves as a narrator, providing a
running comedic commentary on just about
everything they do, while the diminutive
Teller provides a lot of the show's action,
all without saying a single word. The pair
manages to reveal a few tricks of their
trade along the way, while turning around
and completely stumping you with others.
Penn &
Teller's show relies heavily on audience
interaction. Several audience members are
chosen to come up and be part of some tricks
and to help confirm the authenticity of
others. What also makes the show
interesting to watch is that way that Penn
rambles on and on and Teller just seems to
stand in the background and do all of the
leg work. Just because Teller is silent, he
is in no way to be considered a sidekick.
Teller is a major part of the show and his
comedic timing is spot on.
Penn &
Teller are always out to prove a point with
their magic. They usually try to show the
audience not to trust everything you see.
Penn & Teller are pretty cynical when it
comes to social topics. This comedy duo is
truly a class act. It's one of the
smartest shows in town and they certainly
live up to their billing as "a couple of
eccentric guys who have learned how to do a
few cool things."
