Penn Jillette joined Julia Sweeney on the stage at CSICon to discuss his career in magic, his longtime partnership with Teller, and their efforts to combat pseudoscience and misinformation.
Penn & Teller are perhaps magic’s most legendary duo. They have hosted acclaimed sold-out runs on Broadway and are the longest running-and one of the most-beloved-resident headline acts in Las Vegas history. Penn & Teller continue to defy labels-and at times physics and good taste-by redefining the genre of magic and inventing their distinct niche in comedy. The duo has its own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The controversial Showtime series Penn & Teller: BS! was nominated for thirteen Emmys and was the longest-running series in the network's history. The show highlighted the pair’s ardent skepticism by tackling the fakes and frauds behind such topics as alien abduction, psychics, and bottled water.
