In 1975, a magician and a juggler performed together for the first time at a Minnesota arts festival. Little did they know that this partnership would be revered as one of the great magic acts of all time, with multiple TV shows, book deals, and world tours to their name, not to mention being lauded as the longest-running headline act in Las Vegas's history.
Of course, this is the incomparable Penn & Teller, who will celebrate 50 years of performing together—their golden anniversary—in 2025.
Considering the dynamic duo's combined age of 145 years, this 50th-anniversary milestone is doubly remarkable. They are currently shooting the 11th season of Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and are signed on to continue headlining at the Rio Hotel in Las Vegas until 2026.
The pair will perform across Australia starting in January and then at The London Palladium for eleven nights of anniversary shows later in the year. This will be the first time Penn & Teller have performed in the UK since June 2023 as part of their "First Final UK Tour."
Yes, you read that right: Penn & Teller's last tour this side of the Atlantic was really billed as, well, their last—or at least the first of their last.
Did you go and see Penn & Teller in 2023, thinking you'd never get the chance to witness the iconic duo on British soil again, only to be caught hook, line, and sinker in their pedantic semantical ruse? More fool you, my friend.
