Penn & Teller Celebrate 10 Years In Las Vegas And "Play Dead" In NYC

They say they're "a couple of eccentric guys who have learned how to do a few cool things." But, after performing together for 35 years, authoring several best-selling books, receiving numerous Emmy nominations and continually selling out shows, it's safe to say magicians Penn & Teller are a lot more dynamic then that! Penn and Teller spoke abotu celebrating 10 years at the Rio Hotel and Casino.

Teller also has a new off-Broadway show called "Play Dead," which explores themes of death, darkness and deception. As the guide for the evening, Todd Robbins draws audiences into an unknown haunted world full of frightful surprises and diabolical laughter. Although very much a theatrical work, it is hardly a typical "play," but rather a dramatic, unnerving thriller - here and now in an "abandoned" theater, illuminated by a single ghostlight - in which audiences test their nerves and face their fears as they are surrounded by ethereal sights, sounds and even touches of the returning dead - all achieved by wry, suspenseful storytelling and uncanny stage illusions.
