Penn & Teller (
Penn Jillette and
Teller) are American magicians and entertainers who have performed together since the late 1970s, noted for their ongoing act which combines elements of
comedy with
magic. The duo, having been featured in numerous stage and television shows, currently headline in
Las Vegas at
The Rio. Penn Jillette serves as the act's
orator and
raconteur. Teller, however, generally does not speak while performing, and instead communicates through
mime and
nonverbals, although his voice can occasionally be heard during their live shows and television appearances. Besides magic, the pair have become associated with the advocacy of
atheism,
scientific skepticism, and
libertarianism, particularly through their television show
Penn & Teller: Bullshit!
