| - Comedian-Magicians Penn & Teller, play in the Penn & Teller Theatre at the Rio. Penn is over six feet tall and talks a blue streak. His partner, Teller, is much shorter and never speaks during the performance. But they are both excellent magicians. They even do an explanation of "cold reading" as done by psychics such as John Edwards. They strip away the trappings of the tricks and still manage to baffle the audience as to how they are done.
- Penn & Teller are an American double-act, comedians and stage magicians, with a regular gig at the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. Penn Jillette is the tall, talkative one with long dark hair. Teller is the short one who never speaks and makes amusing facial expressions on the frequent occasions when Penn exposes him to danger. They were introduced to one another by a mutual friend in 1975. Ever since then, they've done most of their work together, developing their own rather quirky style of magic.

After the show, they both run down the aisle to the lobby, where they patiently sign autographs and pose for pictures with their fans. They do this until every guest has filed by.

The pair have a wide fraud-busting streak, which gets its widest exposure in their Showtime TV show, Penn and Teller Bullshit. A running theme in their work is truth, lies and deception, with many parts of their stage magic routine built around Lampshading the fact that magic is all about deceiving the audience. Many of their tricks also play on the audience's visceral reaction to tricks that appear dangerous but are in fact completely safe, celebrating the fantasy that two guys can shoot guns into each other's mouths and emerge from it completely unharmed.
