He can now juggle, in Spanish!

Penn Jillette has a long history of pranks. His reference of his upcoming, Spanish-speaking show, in Spain, with no Teller, prompted uncertainty.

" Wait, you are really doing this?" I asked in a phone chat Friday.

" Really," Jillette stated.

Jillette's very first Spanish-speaking programs are on the books. He understands the language well enough to carry out together with the terrific Spanish magician Jandro, for four shows in Valencia on June 23, 24 and 25.

" Jandro has been my Spanish tutor and we've ended up being excellent pals," Jillette said. "He's been on ‘‘ Fool Us,' 5 times, and has actually deceived us 5 times."

Jillette decreased to speak Spanish in the interview.

"Oh, no, I'm too worried," the spoken member of Penn & & Teller stated. "But I'll be doing it onstage.

Penn & & Teller are returning with 20 more "Fool Us" shows in August, which suggests 21 brand-new magic techniques. With time, the duo has written 160 new tricks for the series, and it's extremely doubtful any magician or group has written more magic than Penn & & Teller

. Prior to the "Fool United States" run, Penn & & Teller explore the U.K. for four weeks beginning May 25. Popular magician Michael Carbonaro takes over the Rio's Penn & & Teller Theater from May 25-July 2. And prior to then (and the factor for this phone chat), Penn & & Teller again act as grand marshals for the 33rd Annual Aid for AIDS of Nevada's (AFAN) AIDS Walk Las Vegas. The event returns to Sunset Park on from 8 a.m.-11 a.m. Sunday, May 7 from 8-11 a.m. Individuals and teams can sign up and support by going to afanlv.org.

Norma + Las Vegas Theatre Co., Las Vegas Men's Chorus, vocalist Chadwick Johnson, entertainers from Piranha Nightclub, ex-"Absinthe" cast member and "The Sweets' Spot" YouTube series developer Melody Sweets, "Vegas! The Show" performers, members of "Chippendales," and "Glam: The Fabulous Rooftop Party" at Palms are scheduled to perform.

Penn & & Teller have looked like grand marshals for 22 straight years. We've done so many preview interviews, he says, "We've done these interviews a lot, we're done now, aren't we?" Never ever. See you at Sunset Park, and perhaps Spain.
