Penn & Teller have temporarily taken down their hit show at the Rio, as Teller recovers from open-heart surgery.

The silent member of the team underwent bypass surgery last week. The duo’s longtime manager Glenn Alai said in a statement Monday morning:

“Teller underwent bypass surgery on Thursday here in Las Vegas and is resting and recovering well. Under doctor’s orders, he will be off stage over the next several weeks with an eye towards returning to performances in late November or early December.” The duo most recently performed Sept. 25 at the Rio, and most recently on the road Sept. 23 at Mystic Lake Showroom in Prior, Minn.
