Penn & Teller are the magicians that defy time. They even make it disappear. Some months ago, in what seems like just yesterday, I chatted with the guys separately backstage at the London Palladium.
The duo celebrated 50 years last year, and they mark 25 years at Rio Las Vegas this month. The residency is the longest unbroken run at a single hotel among headliners ever in Las Vegas.
I chat with Penn first, before the London show, then afterward with Teller, following the order of the Penn & Teller brand. I asked the magic question: How long will they continue to perform as a duo?
“How soon before we die? Is that it?” Jillette says.
