Piff the Magic Dragon

Piff the Magic Dragon has become one of the most recognizable comedy magic acts in the world, blending traditional illusions with dry British wit and an utterly unique persona. The character, created and performed by John van der Put, features a magician in a dragon costume who performs alongside his equally deadpan chihuahua sidekick, Mr. Piffles. What started as an Edinburgh Fringe act has evolved into a global phenomenon, with Piff earning acclaim on America's Got Talent and securing a long-running Las Vegas residency that has cemented his place in modern magic entertainment.

Expect an evening of expertly crafted magic wrapped in laugh-out-loud comedy, delivered with Piff's signature sardonic style. The show combines impressive sleight-of-hand and larger illusions with self-deprecating humor and audience interaction that never feels forced or uncomfortable. It's perfect for both magic enthusiasts and comedy fans, offering something genuinely different from typical variety entertainment. The performance strikes a clever balance between showcasing real magical skill and poking fun at the often-pompous world of stage magic.

This tour brings Piff's acclaimed act to intimate venues across the country, including stops at Carnegie of Homestead Music Hall in Pennsylvania and the historic Fargo Theatre in North Dakota. The smaller theater settings create an ideal atmosphere for Piff's style of magic, allowing for the kind of close-up interaction and comic timing that larger arenas simply can't provide. These venues offer audiences a chance to experience the show in the kind of setting where the magic feels more immediate and the comedy more personal.
