Their journey spans street performances in Philadelphia, three Broadway engagements, and a record breaking Las Vegas show at The Rio Hotel & Casino, where they helped reshape modern magic. Their early New York run earned honors including an Obie and a Lucille Lortel Award, and their most recent Broadway return became the highest grossing non musical of its entire engagement, even topping Hamilton for a week. They appear in nearly 300 performances each year at major venues around the world, and their long running Las Vegas show has received nine Las Vegas Magicians of the Year awards along with strong praise from the Los Angeles Times. On television, Penn & Teller: Fool Us! invites rising and veteran magicians to try to outsmart them for a chance to appear in their Las Vegas production. The series earned a Critics Choice nomination, has been renewed for an 11th season, and stands as the longest continually running American magic show on TV. Their many appearances across late night, scripted comedies, and specials for major networks have brought an Emmy, a Writers Guild Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Their Showtime series Penn & Teller: BS! received 13 Emmy nominations and spotlighted their signature skepticism. Their creative work extends to film and theater with the BAFTA nominated documentary Tim’s Vermeer, the feature The Aristocrats, the short The Gambler’s Ballad, and the Olivier nominated West End comedy Magic Goes Wrong created with Mischief Theatre, which set a pre sale record. In 2024 they produced two Off Broadway projects, The Mind Mangler and Stalker. Teller has directed acclaimed productions of Macbeth and The Tempest, co wrote and directed Play Dead, and authored two books. Penn has written five books, including the New York Times best sellers God No! and Presto, hosted the game show Identity, and competed on Dancing With The Stars. Together they also performed incognito on The Masked Singer. Recognitions from the Academy of Magical Arts include two Magicians of the Year awards and the 2024 Masters Fellowship. Their long standing community efforts in Las Vegas include fundraising for AFAN and Opportunity Village, the annual blood drive Penn & Teller’s 13 Bloody Days of Christmas with more than 85,000 donors, and a holiday tour with the USO. This engagement salutes 50 years of inventive magic paired with quick, irreverent humor.

The monthly meeting and auction at IMAG History & Science Center features a presentation titled Bettas for Beginners. This session offers an accessible overview of Betta splendens with practical guidance for everyday aquarists on keeping this species. It is a broad introduction to Bettas and has been well received by audiences. The speaker brings decades of hands-on experience. Fishkeeping began at age nine, with early breeding successes that included Colisa lalia, followed by Colisa chuna (sota), Colisa fasciata, and C. labiosa. A lifelong passion for wild Bettas started after reading All About Bettas by Walt Maurus, leading to correspondence with other aquarists, locating wild Betta stocks, and writing articles. Academic work in Ichthyology included managing the Ichthyology laboratory at Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, building deep knowledge of fish diseases, pathogens, and the native fishes of North America. Around 2000 the Betta focus intensified again, with more than 80 aquariums maintained over time and successful spawning of a wide range of species, from barbs and African and American cichlids to killifish, livebearers, and even saltwater species such as clownfish and seahorses. Current leadership roles include Judging Board Chair of the International Betta Congress and editor of FLARE! magazine, along with service as BAP chair and President of the Oklahoma Aquarium Association and past HAP and Presentations Chair. Additional roles include Treasurer for the American Labyrinth Fishes Association, President of the Oklahoma Betta Breeders Association, and board member and Secretary of FOTAS while editing its Fish Tales Magazine, which has received multiple FAAS awards.
