Bringing together two icons of magic for the first time in the UK for an unmissable stage spectacular.
This unique show is the result of the pairing of legendary magicianPenn Jillette, of world-renowned duoPenn & Teller, (who will tour the UK for the first time without his 50-year companion Teller) teaming up with comedy-magician phenomenonPiff the Magic Dragon, star and fan-favourite fromAmerica’s Got Talent. These shows will also be London bornPiff 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) andPiff The Magic Dragonalong withMr Piffles– the world’s only magic-performing Chihuahua. Each will take to the stage to showcase their signature styles of magic, wit and wonder fromPenn’s sharp storytelling and world-class sleight of hand toPiff’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 Jillettehas spent decades redefining modern magic as half ofPenn & Teller, one of the most successful and longest-running acts in Las Vegas history. Since 2001,Penn & Tellerhave 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.
