Piff & Pop’s Magic Shoppe in London: show and visitor guide

What the London show is

This is a new stage production built around two contrasting comic-magician personas.

The official venue describes a first act with separate performances before Penn and Piff combine for the second half. It is not a Penn & Teller show, and doors at 18:30 are not the advertised performance start.

Who is on stage

Penn Jillette is the speaking half of Penn & Teller.

Piff The Magic Dragon is the Forest Hill-born magician and comedian whose deadpan dragon character reached a large international audience through America’s Got Talent and a long Las Vegas run. Mr Piffles, Piff’s performing dog, is also named in the official programme description.

How the two-act format helps you decide

The published structure gives each act its own comic rhythm before the collaboration.

It should suit audiences looking for personality-led stage magic rather than a formal illusion spectacular. The organiser has not published a running time, interval length or final finish, so do not build a tight post-show booking around an assumed end.

Age and audience fit

The O2 lists a clear restriction: no children under five.

Older children still need to be comfortable with a full evening theatre setting, amplified sound and audience participation. Check the ticket conditions for supervision rules applying to your exact seats before purchase.

Tickets, access and honest checks

Use the ticket route opened from The O2 page and inspect the final price, seat location and mobile-ticket rules before payment.

If step-free access, a companion ticket, wheelchair space or another adjustment is required, follow The O2 accessibility process before choosing seats; availability cannot be inferred from a standard ticket map.

North Greenwich arrival plan

The Jubilee line to North Greenwich is the simplest public-transport reference point for most visitors.

Follow signs for The O2 and then indigo, which is a separate venue within the complex. Allow time for security and recheck TfL close to departure; late-evening service changes can alter the best return.

Make the trip worthwhile

Greenwich Peninsula has riverside space and food around the complex, but opening hours and queues vary on event nights.

Keep any pre-show stop close to the venue and protect a generous buffer before doors instead of crossing central London for an extra attraction.
