Piff & Pop’s Magic Shoppe

What’s a castle, especially a magic castle, without a dragon?

When Penn & Teller first burst upon the scene over five decades ago, they established an adversarial and irreverent performance style. It obviously served them quite well, but it initially drove magicians insane as they slung accusations of trick exposure and general magic heresy at the team. Penn & Teller, rightfully, didn’t give a damn.
