Piff and Pop's Magic Shoppe - 2026 UK Tour September Dates Penn Jillette and Piff the Magic Dragon will tour the UK for the very first time with new show Piff and Pop’s Magic Shoppe for nine dates in September 2026, featuring MagicWeek favourite, Mr Piffles – the world’s only magic-performing Chihuahua.
Piff and Pop’s Magic Shoppe, promises a night of jaw-dropping magic, side-splitting comedy, and unforgettable showmanship. Split in two halves, Act one will feature a solo act from both Pop (Penn Jillette) and Piff The Magic Dragon, along with Mr Piffles. Each will take to the stage to showcase their signature styles of magic, wit and wonder from Penn’s sharp storytelling and world-class sleight of hand to Piff’s eccentric comedy and offbeat illusions. Act two will see the pair return to the stage as a duo, blending their unique talents into a one-of-a-kind double act. Expect the unexpected as the ‘Dragons’ combine forces into a larger-than-life finale.
Since 2001, Penn & Teller have headlined
at the Rio Hotel & Casino, earning the distinction of the
longest-running residency in Las Vegas history for a magic act, as well
as numerous awards and accolades including their recent induction into
The Magic Circle. Piff the Magic Dragon, described as “the greatest
performing dragon of all time,” rose to international fame on America’s
Got Talent and quickly became a Las Vegas sensation. Since 2015, Piff
has headlined his own residency at the Flamingo Las Vegas, delighting
audiences with his offbeat humour, inventive illusions, and the world’s
only magic-performing Chihuahua, Mr. Piffles.
