Since first teaming up in 1975 when they combined Teller’s silent, occasionally creepy magic with Penn Jillette’s clown college education and juggling expertise, the duo have created an entertainment success story that has gone from the streets to small clubs to national theatre tours.
Their television credits include appearances on CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman, NBC’s Saturday Night Live, ABC’s The Drew Carey Show and FOX’s The Simpsons along with their own Emmy-winning specials.
In 2011, they hosted Penn & Tenner: Tell A Lie, an interactive television series which aired on the Discovery Channel. Also premiering that year was the competition series, Penn & Teller: Fool Us where magicians perform tricks in front of the duo. If the two cannot figure out how it was done, the magician who performed it then wins a trip to Las Vegas as the opening act in Penn & Teller’s show. The series is set to return to The CW this summer.
The duo’s understanding of magic and their ability to relate to audiences with their unique approach has also garnered serious academic attention. Not only do they serve as Visiting Scholars at MIT – which is the highest honour bestowed by the school – but they have also lectured at Oxford University and the Smithsonian Institution.
In addition to celebrating their fifteenth year at the Rio in Las Vegas, Penn & Teller will continue to perform to sold-out audiences throughout North America.
