This unique show is the result of the pairing of legendary magician Penn Jillette, of world-renowned duo Penn & Teller, (who will tour the UK for the first time without his 50-year companion Teller) teaming up with comedy-magician phenomenon Piff the Magic Dragon, star and fan-favourite from America’s Got Talent.
These shows will also be London born Piff The Magic Dragon’s (John van der Put) first UK shows in over a decade since he moved from his birthplace in Forest Hill southeast London to Las Vegas.
Their brand-new show, Piff & Pop’s Magic Shoppe, promises a night of jaw-dropping magic, side-splitting comedy, and unforgettable showmanship. Split in two halves, Act one will feature a solo act from both Pop (Penn Jillette) and Piff The Magic Dragon along with Mr Piffles – the world’s only magic-performing Chihuahua. Each will take to the stage to showcase their signature styles of magic, wit and wonder from Penn’s sharp storytelling and world-class sleight of hand to Piff’s eccentric comedy and offbeat illusions.
Act two will see the pair return to the stage as a duo, blending their unique talents into a one-of-a-kind double act.
Expect the unexpected as the ‘Dragons’ combine forces into a larger-than-life finale.
Penn Jillette has spent decades redefining modern magic as half of Penn & Teller, one of the most successful and longest-running acts in Las Vegas history.
Since 2001, Penn & Teller have headlined at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, earning the distinction of the longest-running residency in Las Vegas history for a magic act, as well as numerous awards and accolades including their recent induction into the Magic Circle.
Their blend of comedy, intellectual playfulness, and mind-blowing illusions has made them a fixture of the Strip for over two decades.
Piff the Magic Dragon, described as “the greatest performing dragon of all time,” rose to international fame on America’s Got Talent and quickly became a Las Vegas sensation.
Since 2015, Piff has headlined his own residency at the Flamingo Las Vegas, delighting audiences with his offbeat humour, inventive illusions, and the world’s only magic-performing Chihuahua, Mr.
Piffles.
With over a thousand shows under his belt on the Strip, Piff has carved out a reputation as one of the most original and beloved performers in Vegas.
