Deadpan Comedy, Clever Magic and One Tiny Dragon Dog
Piff the Magic Dragon combines stand-up comedy, polished magic, audience participation, visual surprises, and dry British wit inside the Flamingo Showroom at Flamingo Las Vegas.
English magician and comedian John van der Put performs as Piff, a grumpy dragon who approaches every miracle as though it has interrupted a perfectly miserable evening. His calm delivery, awkward pauses, sarcasm, and exaggerated disappointment give the show a personality unlike a traditional Las Vegas illusion production.
Piff is joined by Mr. Piffles II, the current magic-performing Chihuahua, and Jade Simone, a Las Vegas showgirl and onstage partner who helps move the production between comedy, magic, audience routines, and larger theatrical moments.
The show draws from material developed across several critically acclaimed solo productions. Routines may include card magic, predictions, visual illusions, audience volunteers, strange props, deliberate mishaps, and tricks that appear to go wrong before reaching an unexpected conclusion.
Fans may recognize Piff from America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and other television appearances. The Flamingo residency expands that deadpan television persona into a full-length Las Vegas production.
Guests comparing comedy magic with other Las Vegas show discounts can consider the central location, 7:00 p.m. showtime, 75-minute runtime, ages-8-and-older policy, and distinctive three-member cast before booking.
