...live in the Rio in Las Vegas. And it was awesome. They're very good at what they do, both magic and entertainment, and if anyone is headed that way, I'd urge you to get tickets!

Great show.

I *SO* want to go see them in the Rio - actually thinking of going to Las Vegas later on this year just to see the show!

How long is the show? Is it hard to get tickets near the front? I absolutely love P&T!!

DiarmaidGNR · 18-05-2009 1:08am

their show is the only reason i would go to las vegas, aswell as the gambling and fun. i love p&t

Penn and Teller are awesome! Unfortunately I was in Vegas in '97 a few years before they were at the show in the Rio. Would love to see them!

I saw their bullet catch in the mouth trick once and thought it was bloody fabulous. Then I couldn't help myself and watched a reveal video and loved it even more. I've seen a fair few of them Bullsh!t shows . They're alright, a bit quirky and that .

If it's the video someone showed me then their method is very wrong!!! It over complicates it all hugely and isn't practical at all.

liah · 20-06-2009 12:05pm

Keep in mind that most of their "reveals" aren't actually reveals at all. The explanations on youtube for most of their tricks aren't usually the way they do it and are occasionally tricks within themselves.

Which makes me adore them all the more.

Went over to vegas with a mate there last month for the World Series of Poker (my other vice!!) and got tickets to this as i have always loved these guys. Prices were very reasonable and show was very very good.

Afterwards managed to get pictures with both of them and they both signed my ticket for me. Were real nice and very easy to chat with. Teller was espicially nice (but very short!).

If you are passing through vegas go see this show. Defo a highlight of my trip

Yeah, me too. Was over in Vegas on holidays recently; they hang around after the show and let people take their pictures with them. Penn calls everyone "boss". Really cool guys, fun show and the one place I bought a souvenir because I wanted to throw the guys some extra dosh.

Got my tickets for the London Hammersmith next weekend, 3rd row, absolutely insanely excited about it. Saw them in Vegas 4 years ago, this is going to be amazing (again)

the_pits · 13-07-2010 6:54pm

on BBC 1 @ 7pm The One Show

I saw them in The Rio.

Good night out but don't get overhyped by the reports here.

gymbunny2010 · 16-07-2010 12:53pm

They were actually playing in Las Vegas a week after I was on holiday there in 2006! :mad:

I've been a fan of them for many years - loved their Bullsh*t show too!

Exclamation Marc · 19-07-2010 7:15pm

Well for anyone who missed them in the Hammersmith in London they need not worry.

I would consider myself an absolutely massive P&T fan but their show was a bit disappointing.

Having seen them in Vegas and the incredible show, the London show seemed to be a watered down version of that show. As far as I know, this was out of their control, they were unable to perform their bullet trick, the broken glass trick amongst others, and whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the show and just being in their presence, I felt the show was a bit lacklustre due to things beyond their control..

Fair play to them though, they came out (as they do in the Rio) and met all their fans and took loads of pictures on the street outside the Apollo (no security or anything, just happy to stand there for a couple of hours meeting people).

As a huge P&T fan and having seen them in Rio, I know this was a blip out of their control, but I would feel that any first time go-ers would have been let down a bit!

Great to see them though.

see them on wossy? they did the paper cup trick at the end, then they did it again with see through cups, their slight of hand is so fast, i still dunno how they did it, even with clear cups

legends.

ziedth · 13-08-2010 11:29am

I saw them in the Rio in Vegas last week and even though the tricks were amazing at times ( espically the bullet catch) at one stage I genuinely believe they were tryig to rally the audience to invade china.

It was truly bizzare bur I enjoyed the show.
