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.
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.
Penn &
Teller's show at
Rio Hotel 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. Teller's
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.
Penn & Teller have certainly
live up to their billing as "a couple of
eccentric guys who have learned how to do a
few cool things."
