It takes some serious talent to be one the longest-running headliners in Vegas history, but Penn & Teller leave no room for doubt in that department. The duo is almost synonymous with Sin City, and the Vegas show will have you thinking, “How did they even do that?” long before the curtain closes.

Of course, a magic show is no fun if someone spoils all the tricks beforehand, and with this duo, that would be hard to do anyway. Penn and Teller constantly revise their show. They add new illusions and change things up, ensuring that if you’ve seen them prior, you still have good reason to go back. That being said, here are a few hints of what you might see—or maybe not; they’re unpredictable, and that’s what’s great about these magic men:

• A tongue-in-cheek take on the classic “donut on a string” trick that will not only leave you laughing but remind you that even the professionals are not in the business of taking themselves too seriously.

• An impressive feat of memorization that requires a ridiculous amount of decks of playing cards, a few willing volunteers and Penn’s incredible recollection of those decks.

• A mind-boggling moment with a couple of rings that will leave you believing teleportation must certainly be real. You’ll genuinely find yourself in disbelief.

• A disappearing animal that will do nothing short of mystifying you. Seriously, you’ll be trying to figure out where it went for months.

These godfathers of magic are ingenious and inventive, creating a show unlike any other show you’ll see. The kinds of things these two can think up are nothing less than astonishing and may even convince you that their magic is more than an illusion. Make sure you make it to your seat with a bit of time to spare because, as if being an iconic illusionist isn’t enough, Penn uses his musical talents to create a bit of ambience in the room before the curtain even opens.
