Penn & Teller Reviews

Verified

A fun evening of baffling tricks!

Verified

I came to London at short notice and was lucky to get a good seat in the stalls. My twin boys ( now 21) loved watching Penn & Teller when they were younger. I'm not a huge fan of magic and would normally choose a musical but these guys are legends. Plus always wanted to go to the Palladium. It was a no-brainer. The tricks were executed magnificently....I tried hard to catch them out. Impossible...too professional 😂. Great show for all the family. I feel like they've never aged in 15 years!!! Only criticism I have of the Palladium...bought a bottle of water which they took the cap off. The bottle was freezing cold and I had to sit with it on my lap from 6 30 until the show ended as didn't want to put it on the floor. Stupid policy and would have put it in the bin at the interval but didn't see a bin or anyone collecting rubbish until the end of the show.

Great guys but sooooo much talking!!! I love that they chat, but that much is not needed, several times I just got bored and wanted to see a trick. What was with the ending??? 1/2 hour of just watching the same show in reverse???? I was waiting for some punchline or surprise at the end, but no. Just sat there watching it all in reverse. Such a shame as that was an expensive night and we travelled a long way. I love penn and teller, but would never watch them live again

Fabulous performance. Must see live to appreciate this amazing show.

The show was great but we were in the row in front of the stage manager who was very loud and it was distracting and difficult to hear the show.

third time i’ve seen them …. not the best

Excellent show! Very entertaining and thought provoking. Wish we got closer tickets. Circle section 5 was just too far to see everything.

It was great there was a monkey and a bunny and a chicken and the chicken looked at me

I'm a huge fan of Penn and Teller and bought the ticket without hesitation. But their show was not what I expected. It was basically three rope tricks and one needle swallowing one, all of which I have seen performed by much less famous magicians. There was good humour and reflections on the art and craft of magic, which I enjoyed - but not enough magic at all. In summary, glad I saw such famous performers live, but not worth the money I paid.

Although it was a good evening, I was expecting alot more action and dramatic magic. The magic was unfortunately nothing that hasn't been seen before and was the kind of magic that penn and teller were doing at the beginning of the start of their fame. The audience getting a chance to do magic with the card tricks was good. I also found there was alot of narrative and felt the first half was too long, a break was needed earlier. Sitting towards the back,the screen was sometimes hard to see what was going on too.Not sure if I would go again but it was a good way to experience their magic upfront.

Disappointing show. Seen them before in Vegas and thought they were amazing. Tonight’s show was nothing like that and could have easily left at the interval but hopes they would improve. Sadly got worse. Hardly any magic and nothing new or exciting f.

Great Show and great venue

Got these tickets as a birthday surprise for my partner and indeed he was surprised. It was an amazing show. Although seated upstairs in the back, we sometimes couldn’t see over people’s heads even to see the screen, we got the best value for the price we paid. Still amazed we even got to go at all. It’s going to be a night we always remember.
