Penn & Teller in London!
(Picture by local artist)
Advance warning. You heard it here first. Do not, repeat DO NOT miss out on this one. They very rarely come to London, and they’re the best magic show in the world. Penn & Teller – the eternally cool bad-boys of magic – are rocking the Hammersmith Apollo from 14-17 July. Just a few nights, and it will pack right out. I saw it in Vegas a few years ago with Andy and Coops and we found ourselves gasping out loud and utterly mesmerised. It’s ingenious, funny, heartbreaking and provocative, and if there was ever a must-see in the world of magic, this is it.
The link is here – tickets go on sale on Friday.
Get in there quick, and if you find it sold out, keep trying for returns.

I thought I read somewhere that these would be Q&A shows…..am I wrong? Always wanted to get to vegas to see their show so would be amazing if they brought it over here!
My favourites. Best cup-and-ball I have ever seen. They mystify even the most experienced of prestidigitators. Like Harpo Marx and Oliver Hardy in a Tarantino film.
Will try to convince my better half to allow me out for a brief period to see them.
I think they rate Derren pretty highly, too… I’m sure I have heard them talking about him, or writing about him.
Thank you for letting us know… Will be checking out tix first thing Friday xxx
My brother and I used to love watching Penn & Teller. They were incredible! Sadly these shows in London fall slap-bang in the midst of my Mum’s 60th birthday celebrations this year. Sadly I don’t think my Mum would appreciate a ticket…. 🙁

Brilliant! Thanks for the heads up Derren x
A heads up for folk here that if you happen to have an O2 mobile subscription then rush, run, peg it towards the O2 priority http://www.o2blueroom.co.uk/about-priority-tickets
They started selling pre release tickets this morning at 9AM. I am well chuffed to bits as I got mine 10 rows from the front Saturday night. A small bit of wee came out as I was booking it. Only got this kind of excited when I got my programme signed by Derren at the last trip he did to Oxford. Oh Happy Happy Joy Joy 🙂
Shhhh! Don’t tell everyone – yet! I still need to work out if I can get down to see one of the shows!
Thanks @Rob Perkins! Just booked for the Saturday night, row D. Woo!
Good call Derren! got my tickets, 5 rows from the front. look fwd to it…
I saw them in Vegas 2 years ago. They were fantastic
I didn’t have to enter anything about an O2 mobile, but I just ordered some tickets to the Saturday show though some O2 priority page I found anyway. Woo and Hoo!!!
Thanks for the headsup Derren
Derren, PLEASE do a show with them sometime! It would be absolutely BRILLIANT!
Wtf I’ve just been to London 2 weeks ago! 🙁
Grr…. I don’t want to spend more money… BUT.. might do :X
Being only 14, I have never heard of them, so I think I’ll look into them. If you recommend them then I suppose they must be very good.
Booked mine – Row E for the Saturday night!!
SO excited!!
I have often considered going to Vegas JUST to see them!!!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
SG x
Woo hoo thank you Derren. Am going on the Saturday night…. Think they might also be there on the 18th too x
I have been planning a trip to Vegas for years, and the two things I definitely wanted to do whilst I was there is attend the JREF’s ‘Amazing Meeting’ and see Penn and Teller live. I booked a trip to Vegas this year to TAM, and what do you know? That’s when Penn and Teller are off to London. 🙁
Fortunately I had booked to arrive a few days in advance, so have managed to score a ticket to their last Vegas show before they head to the UK. Lucky!!
Can’t wait! Got 2 tickets for the Friday.
dammit, why do these things always come along when I am utterly skint?
am due to go to Whitby on hols next week, just before payday, so can’t even eat beans for the rest of the month to try and save dosh.
grr
I got my tickets booked this morning for the Thursday night row f, but i was thinking on the train on my way home, were they band from doing there bullet catch in this country? iv been wanting to see them for years was going to go to Vegas just to see them, would be a little bit disappointing if they weren’t allowed to do this effect but iam sure it will be an amazing night ever way.
Saw them a couple years ago in Vegas. I was a volunteer for the bullet trick. Unbelievable show!!!
Booked my ticket this morning and I am sooo excited.
I’m gutted!
Yet another venue I can’t go and see them at!
Hope all you lucky pricks appreciate the privilege.
Throw them a kiss for me somebody and clap as hard as you can all of you.
well i sat waiting for hours but was prevented from getting seats for me and my friend because of the stupid system they have in place :@
One step ahead of you Brown!! I have just booked tickets to see them in Vegas in August. Many excitey wee’s ahoy!
