Magic fans in the United Kingdom are in for a rare treat as Penn Jillette joins forces with Piff the Magic Dragon for a brand-new live production titled Piff & Pop’s Magic Shoppe.
The show marks a unique occasion for Penn, best known as one-half of the legendary duo Teller and Penn & Teller, as he tours the UK without his longtime performing partner of more than 50 years. It also represents Piff’s first performances in his native England in over a decade since relocating from London to Las Vegas.
Two Distinct Styles of Magic in One Show
Piff & Pop’s Magic Shoppe is structured in two acts.
During the first half, both performers take the stage individually to showcase their signature styles. Penn combines razor-sharp storytelling, wit, and sleight-of-hand, while Piff delivers his trademark deadpan comedy, eccentric illusions, and appearances by Mr Piffles, often billed as the world’s only magic-performing Chihuahua.
In the second act, Penn and Piff join forces for a collaborative finale that blends their contrasting personalities into a one-of-a-kind magical double act.
Penn Jillette’s Legendary Career
Penn Jillette has helped redefine modern magic through his partnership with Teller. Since 2001, Penn & Teller have headlined in Las Vegas, establishing one of the longest-running and most celebrated magic residencies in the city’s history.
Known for combining comedy, skepticism, and astonishing illusions, the duo has earned countless accolades and remains one of the most influential acts in contemporary magic.
Piff the Magic Dragon’s Rise to Fame
Piff the Magic Dragon, whose real name is John van der Put, became an international sensation after his standout appearance on America's Got Talent.
Since 2015, he has headlined his own residency at Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino, where his quirky humor and inventive illusions have made him one of the city’s most beloved entertainers.
A Must-See Collaboration
By pairing one of magic’s most iconic figures with one of its most unconventional stars, Piff & Pop’s Magic Shoppe promises a night filled with world-class magic, sharp comedy, and unforgettable surprises.
For fans of Penn & Teller, Piff the Magic Dragon, and innovative live entertainment, this unique collaboration is shaping up to be one of the most exciting magic events of the year.
