Magic show is second to none in Vegas. Every act crafted to entertain and intrigue. Best duo in magic. And great that they meet all fans after the show.

My husband and I have enjoyed the TV broadcast performances of Penn & Teller for many years, so when we recently planned a trip which included a stop in Las Vegas, we decided that we HAD to go to one of their performances in their own theater in the Rio Casino. They didn't disappoint! In addition to being FANTASTIC illusionists, their show also has a light comedic vibe to it, which in our opinion, adds to the overall enjoyment of the performances. Did you know that Penn Jillette is an accomplished stand-up bass and drum player, juggler, writer and more? I used to read his monthly columns years ago in PC Computing Magazine. He played the stand-up bass, accompanied by a piano player, prior to the show. Penn and Teller brought a number of people from the audience up onto the stage to assist them in their stunts ~ including a group of children, who were taught a trick by Teller. It was REALLY wonderful and I am sure that those kids will remember their time on stage for the rest of their lives! I was personally selected from the audience (I didn't raise my hand to volunteer!) by Teller to assist him in the WONDERFUL coins and goldfish stunt! Even though I was right next to him the entire time, I have NO IDEA of how he did what he did! I also got to hear Teller speak! As fans know, the diminutive Teller NEVER, EVER speaks during a performance, instead taking the role of a mime. Teller presented me with the fishbowl and pennies used during the performance as a memento! I managed to get that large fish bowl back home in my luggage without it breaking! If you can afford it, I HIGHLY recommend selecting a seat near the stage, so you can really get a close look at what's going on ~ although the performance is broadcast on a large screen for the benefit of people further away on the first level and seated in the balcony. Who knows? YOU might be selected for YOUR 15 minutes of fame! Following the performance, Penn and Teller ran down the aisle and out into the lobby, where they remained for quite a while for a meet and greet session and photo opps. GREAT GUYS and TOP NOTCH PERFORMERS! DO NOT MISS THEIR SHOW!

Penn & Teller is one of the best shows in all of Vegas. They are hilarious, and there is a ton of audience interaction! Get there early to watch Penn play the bass as Mike Jones wows on the keys. Penn will also let you in on a little magic secret if you get there early and that REALLY added to our experience. After they show, they stay in the lobby until every single fan that wants to meet them and take a selfie gets a selfie. Would definitely go again if given the chance!

My wife & I were very disappointed with the Penn & Teller show. They were always great on TV and that is what we expected to see, but live they were very boring for the most part. There was only one elusion that was decent and that was when Teller swollowed the needles, then brought them back up on a thread. Otherwise, there were a few funny moments and no real suspense or surprises. We both said that we should have gambled instead with our $150 cost of the show. Chornee

Penn & Teller were great. Lots of Fun and amazing entertainment. We enjoyed this alot more than we thought. We were in alantic City for the weekend and thought a show would be a great way to spend the evening. They were better in person than what we had seen on television. The audience was included so beware you may be called on stage. Lots of fun!!

The show wasn't as I expected. Some of the tricks performed were spectacular. However, Penn spent a lot of time talking and it seemed like was he was talking down to the audience. The show was OK, but for a more exciting show, I would go to another one of the magic shows in Las Vegas.

Went to Penn & Teller w/my husband & 13 yr old son. They were VERY entertaining. I'd seen a review that didn't recommend this show for children but it was fine for my 13 yr old son. Maybe it was because of the political nature of their jokes which my son "got" most of them. His brain was "hurting" trying to figure out how they do the things they did - especially the trick at the end of their performance. We thought it was very nice that they go out into the lobby after their performances for autographs and pictures with the fans.

We had seen many of the "tricks" on t.v., but it was really a great show. Highlight was after the show Penn and Teller stood outside and posed for pictures. Vey patient as hundreds of people waited and got their pictures and autographs.

We wanted to see a show while in Vegas that wouldn't disappoint, and this was it! They include the audience in everything they do and are awesome. Family friendly show that will keep you on the edge of your seat trying to figure out every trick. They even stay afterwards for autographs and pictures! I highly recommend this show over anything else while in Vegas!

Always wanted to see these guys and finally got around to it. They did not disappoint. Had second row center seats so the view was spectacular! They do LOT'S of audience participation so if you like being involved, you'll love this. The Magic was incredible as well as hilarious and Penn weaves his philosophy (which I like) into much of the dialogue. Also, after the show they hang around in the hall to meet, greet, and take pictures with the guests until EVERYONE is satisfied. I'd recommend getting a copy of Penn's book or something similar so he can autograph it for you.

Penn and Teller have phenomenal stage presence. My favorite part of the show is how realistic they are yet theire are entire tricks I cannot fathom. My favorite part of the whole event is that they stand outside the exit to greet every audience member. I've seen dozens of Vegas shows and have never been so impressed by the professionalism and down to earth performers. Thank you Penn & Teller for a truly stellar show.

Penn & Teller put on an amazing show. It does not include a series of tricks and illusions. There is a theme or "lesson" to every trick that includes great comedy. Penn's witty control of the act and the audience is amazing. Teller's "straight man" expressions are captivating and his pure slight of hand will blow you away. They lure you into thinking you are on top of the trick, but you end up baffled in the end. This show is for those who like contemporary comedy with a "trick you" twist of magic. Also, Penn is an excellent jazz stand-up bass player both during the act and before the show begins. Amazing!!!

Penn and Teller continue to pack the house and delight the audience with old and new routines. I last saw Penn and Teller in San Francisco in the mid 80's and unlike aging rock bands today, they continue to get better with age, like a bottle of wine.

Penn & Teller are truly great entertainers! The way that use magic and illusion to educate people about politics and social issues is brilliant! You can tell that they have gratitude for their fans by the way they will take time to meet with all who care to stick around after the show. Don't miss out on that opportunity.

Loved the show and loved the acts. I was picked to help Teller with a card trick - it was amazing. I loved their libertarian stand and how proudly they profess their patriotism. I did purchase one of their bill of rights metal cards! I truly appreciated their willingness to take photos and give autographs after the show with as many of the audience as wants one. So very rare in all of show business!

Penn & Teller are world class entertainers. Everyone should try to see them at least once. (Once you do, you will want to see them at every opportunity you can. ) Their show was a delight to watch, and the clear highlight of our most amazing Lead Vegas trip.

Great show! I felt like a child during the performance, since Penn and Teller even explain to the audience how some of the tricks are done and you understand it....but within a few minutes you're absolutely amazed because it is impossible. My husband was asked to be an assistant for one of the tricks (which he was absolutely happy about!:) And later I got a chance to go on stage and be a witness of one more amazing trick. Atmosphere of the performance is very warm. And everybody gets a chance to take picture with Penn and Teller in the end. They're very patient :) I'd like to see one more of their performances one day!

Penn and Teller put on an amazing performance at the Rio. Their magic was as always outstanding. You can tell that they have both worked unbelievably hard to make everything go smoothly. I can not imagine how much practice must go into doing all of that. They are so clever. I also love the fact that in a lot of the tricks they will show us how something is done, but then right after that turn everything upside down on what you think you have learned. They have a cow trick where Penn uses a member of the audience to show how to do misdirection. The audience feels the whole time like we are in on the joke, until the final amazing finish of the trick where it is clear that the joke was on us the whole time. What I also love about them is they don't have to depend on a bunch of assistants dancing around the stage the whole time to provide their misdirection like another well known magician in Vegas. After the show both Penn and Teller meet with the audience and they stay until everyone who wants to meet them can. That has got to get old but they appreciate their fans so much that they do this every night. This was by far the best show we saw at Vegas. In the act Penn says that they (and all magicians) are just liars and cheats, but I did not feel cheated at all. Their show is worth every penny!

The show was of the highest standards for a Las Vegas act coming to a small town. The venue was a perfect setting for the class act that Penn & Teller provided and the house was full. Audience interaction was off the charts. The show length was just right with the performers having time for a quick changeup with little distraction to the audience. Really enjoyed the story telling that rounded out the show on the history of fire breathing.

The show was well worth the trip to see. They kept the audience in stitches the whole time. One of the effects was with teller in a tank of water and they emphasized that the longest a person held their breath was 6 minutes. After taking the air hose from teller penn had a audience member pick a card while another kept time my announcing every 30 seconds. Well penn couldn t find the card, teller kept waving his hand and then threw the key at penn (which never worked). They eventually found the selected card after 10 minutes on tellers mask but he was now gone so penn dedicated the rest of their tour to himself.

I very much enjoyed this show. It's not a ginormous spectacle like Cirque du Soleil. Instead, it's a medium-sized theater (like your local opera or symphony hall), which is not a bad thing--it has a sense of being more intimate. Penn and Teller are adorable and literally approachable after the show for autographs. The show is about 60 - 90 minutes (i don't recall exactly). There is a lot of audience participation. I've only seen one show but Penn said they do mix up their acts a bit and will try different segments to add variety, so in theory you might see a different show every time. In this particular one, the segments that were most memorable to me were: the cell phone and the fish, the TSA metal detector, the teapot, the flower shadow cutting, the camera and the toy cow, the quantum theory card monologue, the nail gun, the psychic discredit, and the finale--the bullets in the mouth illusion. I would recommend to almost anyone who appreciates humor, illusions and intelligence. Also, I'm including a picture of the stage. Everyone is allowed to go on stage before the show to inspect. I didn't notice any trap doors, just a bunch of taped markings on the floor.

Penn and Teller are amazing. I have always been a big fan and for our first visit to Vegas we had to go see them live. They are so much fun and so entertaining. We sat in the 2nd row and the view of the performance was great. I would highly recommend them to anyone. They are also some of the friendliest celebrities, after every show they stand outside and meet the fans and take selfies. They go out of their way to make their fans happy.

We really enjoyed watching Penn and Teller live! My husband and I watch Fool Us and made it a point to come see them when we go to Vegas. I liked that they make the audience a part of their acts. My husband, myself and our friends were able to go on stage for the last act, it was awesome! The guys also stuck around outside of the theater to take pictures and say hi to fans.

We travelled to Vegas for a family holiday at Easter and my one condition was that we go and see Penn and Teller at the Penn and Teller Theatre. My boys are 18 and 19 and have raved about it since we got back. From the live Jazz as you enter to the audience participation throughout the show I was lost for words. Some parts of the routine we had seen on the tv but others were new to us and the nostalgic magic routine had you scratching your head trying to work it out. Then to cap it all, as we left, Penn and Teller were in the foyer signing autographs and having photos taken with their fans from all around the globe. I had hoped this would be a magical experience and this exceeded my expectations.

Penn and Teller amaze audience with their show, and. It only through magic tricks! Penn plays the stand up bass while people are seating themselves all the while inviting everyone up on stage to inspect their props! They engage and invite their audience throughout the show and at the end, are mingling and taking pictures with all those interested in a souvenir.

My wife and I went to see 3 shows while in Vegas this week and we both agree that this was the best out of all of them. We had great seats and my wife was actually brought up onto the stage for one of the acts and she just loved it and could not figure out how they did what they did even being on the stage with Penn & Teller. Really enjoyed how they interacted with the audience and made people part of their act. One of our friends recommend this show and they were correct. After the show Penn & Teller went outside of the theater and meet anyone who wanted to take a picture or sign an autograph which was very cool.

This was my second time seeing Penn & Teller. The first time I saw them, two years ago in this same room, I was floored by their talents, their personalities, and especially the unique nature of their magical and sleight-of-hand abilities. That show had it all--there was an Teller's escape from a clear box filled with water, Penn's fire-eating and juggling, music, and lots and lots of comedy. So, I was looking forward to seeing these guys again. I'm fairly hard to please when it comes to a magic act; I saw one great David Copperfield show, and one awful one that was such a disappointment that I swore him off for good; Siegfried & Roy years ago in Vegas--I enjoyed the cats but otherwise was bored stiff at their over-the-top production, and most recently Murray SawChuck (he REALLY annoyed me) and Jay Owenhouse (not bad, not great...but once again, I loved seeing the cats). To my dismay, I found this encore performance to be really lacking; most of the 'tricks' went on far too long (especially the final one, which required massive audience participation), or were surprisingly unimaginative and/or generally uninspired (the bit with the barrel, the bit with the cardboard box, the bit with the cards set against the folk song). There were a few that were repeats from last time; thankfully, it was a pleasure to see them employed again. Sometimes P&T's stuff can get pretty dark, and the bit with the rabbit was definitely that; it didn't bother me, but from my vantage point in the audience, I could see a few people get up and walk out after that one. I'm sure P&T don't care, but the 'trick' (particularly its ending) just underscored the fact that sometimes, illusion is not for the squeamish. If the evening had a saving grace, it was because half of the fun is just watching these two men interact with both themselves and the audience. People don't 'volunteer' as much as get conscripted to join P&T onstage, and it was fun watching some of them squirm, although no one was ever humiliated or anything mean like that (having said that, I'm thankful that I wasn't plucked my from right-of center aisle seat to be the focus of attention). After the show, as they did last time, P&T immediately arrived for autographs and photos in the lobby of the theater. It's that sort of hands-on personality that's lacking in most live performers these days, and it helped save the evening as a whole to me. Still, I have to be honest--this was not P&T at their best. Maybe next time will be, because unlike Copperfield, I will absolutely go see them again.

I ve loved magic ever sine I was a kid! These guys are REALLY good at their craft. They are funny, talented and gracious guys, making sure they thank everyone that helped on the set and staying late to meet everyone that wants to meet them. They pull a lot of people on stage, I was one of them. If I wasn t the one pulled up I would have thought I was a plug. Teller s slide of hand is remarkable, so talented, the red balloon act is very sweet. They switch up their act about every year. I will go see them again!

We loved everything about this show. We debated on what seats to purchase and we went with center mezzanine seats. They were great. We could see everything! But if you do buy orchestra seats, your chances of getting picked to go on stage dramatically increase. If you want to get picked buy orchestra. If you are happy just watching the show, mezzanine is wonderful too. Penn and Teller are phenomenal performers who really care about their show and their audience. Would go again a thousand times:)

I've always been a fan of their Fool Us TV show but this was just lacking any wow moments. I want to be on the edge of my seat with nonstop wow moments from magicians at this level and tickets at these prices. Spend your money on someone with more star power. I did enjoy Penn playing upright bass before the show but that's not what I was paying for.

I have been a fan of Penn and Teller since I was a young child. I finally got the opportunity to attend their live show in Las Vegas. It was everything that I had hoped for. It was a truly incredible performance that blew my mind. I like to watch for the "trick" at magic shows, but Penn and Teller are flawless. You only see what they want you to see. The show involves a lot of audience participation, and since I was in some of the front rows, along an aisle, I got to go up on stage. Don't worry if you can't get those seats though. Penn and Teller both do a free meet and greet in the hallway after the show. They are very kind and spent a lot of time with their fans. If you are a fan of magic, comedy, or libertarianism, this show is worth every penny. I would absolutely see them again next time I am in town. If anything about this review has left you in doubt about whether you should go, I've failed. Words can not describe how much I enjoyed my time.

Good show. But way too much political talk. Don't really care about P&T's politics or their views. Do magic and shut up about the rest. Technically their magic is on point and will keep you guessing. On they same note they didn't do anything that was a "WOW". Just standard stuff they have done in the past. Almost all of the bits were old. Nothing new. So if you have not seen them...do. At least once.

Great show. Started with Penn playing bass for the house music before the show. Amazing magic and entertainment. They always meet the fans, all of them, outside the theater. Taking selfies, signing stuff. Absolutely would go again. Perfect show.

Amazing magic that surprises you even when you think you know what is going on. Good venue with large screen projection so even those with seats in the back can SEE what is going on.

Penn & Teller put on an absolutely amazing show! All of the acts were wonderful and their sense of humor was hilarious! The quality of the big screens and cameras weren't the greatest at The Venue (Horseshoe Casino).

From the moment they open the show until the last person who came to see them has gotten to personally shake their hands, take a picture with them, or get their autograph, these guys give 100% of themselves to their fans and audience members. They set the bar for other celebrities in terms of quality of performance, perfect pacing, and fan interaction. Their illusions are amazing, at times emotionally touching, and often very funny. They are truly a gift to our generation and will certainly go down in history as one of the greatest magician acts of our time. It really strikes me as funny how they make sure the audience is well educated to the fact that all magic is "phony", and then, proceed to amaze you with an illusion that can only be explained by the phrase, "It's magic".

The show was really entertaining and Penn and Teller were a class act. They stayed outside the venue taking pictures and signing autographs until every one that was there had gotten to see them.

I have always been a huge fan but I never expected such an amazing show and the two classiest guys in Vegas. I couldn't recommend this show enough it was so enjoyable and the fact that Penn and Teller take the time to talk and take pictures with fans aft the show is just incredible. They absolutely made my trip and it was just so nice of them to do that I felt like they cared and appreciated me and it was very special. Thanks to Penn and Teller!

I attended the Oct. 3, 2012 P&T show with my wife and a co-worker. The RIO is a beautiful place, and the P&T Theater is fantastic. The wife and I went onstage prior to the show, as all attendees are invited to do, and inspected the wood crate from which Teller later emerged to start the show. Contrary to popular belief, Teller does speak as he whispers basic instructions to audience members as they thumb through books that are part of one of the most amazing tricks they perform, and during other similar situations, and after the show. They selected numerous patrons to participate in various tricks, who were brought onstage, always treated with respect and dignity, and carefully escorted on and off stage as their participation required. I had seen somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the tricks they performed on TV or internet previously, however they still amaze me. Teller's "Coins from Water, and Goldfish" is a beautiful and mystifying illusion. Teller quietly and masterfully executes various illusions which are elegantly choreographed, and provide an artfully stylistic contrast to Penn's intelligent dialogue as he leaves the observer mentally stunned by his confounding mind tricks. They graciously met with their audience after the show to take pictures and sign autographs (at no charge!) until every person had their very own brief moment with each of them. Penn & Teller provide an all-ages appropriate show, that is entertaining, thought provoking, and mystifying. They have proven to me that they are a perfect blend of quiet/loud, artful/mechanical, light/dark, yin/yan of magical entertainment. If you're in Vegas, go see Penn & Teller. If you think the $100 or so is too pricey, just hang out in any of the various Vegas casinos for a couple of hours playing any gambling game and see what you can walk away with. Or, spend a C note on a ticket to the P&T show, and walk away with an experience assured to be as memorable as hitting a jackpot on a slot machine.

A superb show, highly recommended. If you are in Vegas and you like magic, this is a must. There is lots of audience participation and the climax is unreal! If you have seen them on TV then a lot of the classic stuff is live on stage. I wont spoil it but Teller does the 'goldfish' and Penn does some amazing cold reading. Like I say, excellent stuff .... Dont miss it. My tip. Pay a bit more and get a seat near the front. You have more chance of getting picked out to join them on stage.

I have been to Penn & Teller before and I was worried that the show would still be the same and that I would be a little bored, I couldn't have been more wrong! They had a few of my favorites still in the show, but the rest was fresh and just a joy to watch. When can I go again?

We came to Vegas with our six year old for first time and he loves magic. coperfield was at mgm grand but I have seen his show live and not as fun as I would want for a younger child. I called and asked if this show was ok for his age. they do not sell tickets to 5 and under. there was one bad word said the whole show. it was fun and funny great for kids and adults. my wife and I loved the show. the tricks are amazing and fresh. I am now a huge fan!

It's a nice show and Penn and Teller do great magic. Although I've seen a lot of their tricks, it's still amazing to see them live and direct. There's a lot of interaction with the audience which I liked very much. They're not the magicians who do their show only on stage, pretending there's no audience.

Penn & Teller take magic to a whole new level! They're not afraid to reveal secrets, yet even knowing the secrets, you're still blown away by the illusions. Great stuff! Penn is the most articulate spokesperson for our generation. Teller says just as much without speaking a word!

It really is just that simple. They start out with a great illusion and each successive illusion are amazing. Penn's patter is fantastic and Tellers physical comedy is genius. They even tell you how many of the tricks are done, but they do them so well it is impossible to find fault in the show. Their 'burning the flag' section brought tears to my eyes because I have lived and worked abroad and it struck a chord. The one major plus is that after the show, they will wait in the lobby signing autographs and posing for pictures of everyone who wants one.

I've watched Penn & Teller on television for years and was excited to see them in person, even getting a second row seat to try and "catch" them performing their tricks. And even when I KNEW exactly what to look for and the trick they were performing, their skills are so polished it's impossible. The guys are peak entertainers and know how to not only perform amazing tricks, they are able to do so by engaging the audience from start to finish. If you have the chance to see them perform at this intimate theater, do it. You won't regret it..

Comedy + Magic = AMAZING! Seriously the coolest show my wife and I have ever seen. They do magic simular to street magic for a good portion of thier show but in a over the top finish like you wouldn't believe. Seriously, there were tricks them completed that we couldn't begin to believe were possible.

Penn and Teller is a legendary show, and for good reason. World renowned magicians with a comedic flair, Penn and Teller will dazzle you with sometimes creepy, sometimes surreal, but always polished tricks. Best of all, they won't insult your intelligence by pretending to have super powers. Nope, they will tell you the whole time they are simply performing tricks, some of which they reveal as they go. The show was about 90 minutes long with no intermission, these guys work hard for your admission, and you can meet them in the lobby after every show!

This was our second show of Penn and Teller in the past two years and this year's show was even better than the first my wife and I enjoyed. Penn and Teller perform a show without pretense, pomp or stance. They tell it like it is and shoot for the moon at every opportunity. The fact that these fine gentlemen make themselves available for pictures after each show a real real class act. Thank you Penn and Teller for helping to make our visit to Las Vegas memorable!

My sons are true fans and so my husband and I brought them....My son Rob knew most of the routines but my Husband and I did not and were truly thrilled. My son was hoping that you did your photo session after the show and so he was in 7th Heaven.He had Penn and Teller sign his forehead so he could show off to his roommates

Penn & Teller are still bringin' it after decades of performing together. Even when you know how the tricks work, they are still amazing to watch in action. They are intelligent, irreverent, and masters of their craft - I hope to see them many more times in the future.

P and T were totally entertaining as usual and I just love Teller's subtle and silent sarcasm, ha ha! I had front row seats so I could watch the slight of hand. And! I just couldn't catch it. Amazing!! Other than noticing that Teller has large, deep pockets, I really couldn't see how he could have fit so many live birds down there. What the Heck! How'd he do that? And the after show photo ops with him were wonderful too. He asked me to take his picture with some people. Nice guy. He even talked to me. Yes! Teller talked!! Last but definitely the best...the preshow jazz pianist was the most amazing. And believe me I live in New Orleans and have seen the best of the best. Absolutely loved it.
