Also bringing a sense of merriment and holiday cheer are two magic acts. First, Penn and Teller (Penn Jillette and Raymond Teller) join John van der Put as Piff the Magic Dragon for some magical entertainment only these pros can deliver. There is sure to be plenty of comedy and entertainment with this skit. Make sure to tune in live to enjoy the fun.

Piff the Magic Dragon appeared on America’s Got Talent Season 10. John van der Put appeared with Penn and Teller on their 2011 show Penn & Teller: Fool Us. It’s unclear whether tonight’s special performance will be a spin-off from that original act. John van der Put has been dazzling audiences with his magician skills in Las Vegas at the Flamingo.
