      When the two first met in 1974, the cultural tastes of Penn & Teller were as different as their physical stature. However, the growth and the success of their partnership can be directly attributed to their willingness to accept and respect each other's varying taste. During the past 25 years, this diverse team has established itself as the world's pre-eminent comedy-magic duo. In 1997, Penn & Teller were named two of the funniest people alive by Entertainment Weekly in its "50 Greatest Comedians Today" issue.
      Penn & Teller continue to tour nationally. Their live theater show has gone through many evolutions, but it remains one of the most important facets of their enduring career. They are also no strangers to television. They have received numerous accolades including two Emmy awards and the International Golden Rose Award for their PBS special "Penn & Teller Go Public." In addition to their busy schedule of television shows and live performances, Penn & Teller have authored three best-selling books, including "How to Play With Your Food."
