This week on Page 7 Holden, Jackie, and MJ discuss Jackie gettin' eyeboned by an Uber driver blasting "Wasn't Me" while in Vegas, where she saw the magical warlock Mr. Piffles and his arcane master Piff The Magic Dragon while sippin' on a liquid headache, MJ Kicks off tales of Heidi Klum Halloweens past and Halloween present including her and Janelle Monáe both wearing E.T. costumes this year, while Jackie talks of the several breakdowns on her path to transforming into an amazing Greta Gremlin! MJ warns Holden against the dangers of metal straws and children, as Holden channels his hatred of endangered turtles and love of disposable straws into art. Mariah Carey, freed from her ice tomb beneath the surface of the moon, claims "It's time" and has begun to attempt to spread a virulent strain of holiday cheer via Mariah's Holiday Bar in five major US cities (which sadly for Jackie and Holden does not include LA), and Raffi, the man who brought us "Banana Phone" is on the search for love and MJ pleads not to be too vulgar about Raffi as he is a sexless being transcendent of light. Plus Campbells Soup is makin' savory candles and Jackie may fall prey to a stuffing scented candle while also making a plan to become a snackfluencer via a livestreamed Holden torture session on the next LPN Funhouse!

Surly dragon, sexy showgirl, and cute puppies. If I told you the best magic show in Vegas right now is starring a short, unkempt, surly Englishman in a poorly-fitting sequined dragon costume, you would probably question my opinion. But Piff the Magic Dragon is hands-down the most entertaining magic show I've seen in Vegas, and that includes all the celeb-magicians. Caesars Entertainment snatched up a contract with Piff in 2015 after he appeared on America's Got Talent. He was no stranger to Vegas, having worked in the Cosmopolitan's Rose.Rabbit.Lie and Spiegelworlds's Vegas Nocturne in 2014. He also toured as a supporting act for Mumford & Sons during their 2012 tour and is on their album cover for “Babel.” I first saw Piff in 2020, shortly after he was moved from the tiny Bugsy's Cabaret (the same place you can currently see Wayne Newton and X-Burlesque) to the 700 seat Flamingo Showroom due to social distancing requirements. Mrs. Jaydubs describes Piff as “that surly uncle who comes to the party, and you don't want your kids around him because you don't know what he's going to say. But he tells the best stories.” This is pretty accurate. I brought the whole family to see him during spring break and tried not to mentally cringe as he dropped S-bombs during the show, but 1) they're already hearing it at school and 2) they were so captivated by Piff's bombastic magnetism that much of it flew past them without registering. Plus: Mr. Piffles. Piff's chihuahua in a little dragon costume is definitely a gimmick, but Mr. Piffles is so adorable that the gimmick is forgiven. When we last saw Piff, Mr. Piffles was so tired that he fell asleep onstage during his bit. I fear the tiny pup is not long for this world. Piff's greatest strength is his mis-direction. His biggest trick starts at the beginning of the show, but he doesn't bring it home until the end. He slowly revisits the trick, building on it and adding layers of complexity. You start to wonder where he's going with all this seemingly random stuff until it all comes together at the end in a very impressive way. If you've ever wanted to see a dog in a dragon costume driving a car, have I got a show for you... Part of Piff's schtick is his surly, rude demeanor. And it's mostly schtick, as he is a super nice guy. He heads out into the Flamingo gaming floor after the show to take pictures with any and all audience members. If you want to get a taste of his act, check out his full special “Reptile Dysfunction” which is free on YouTube. But don't watch it all until you've seen him live so you don't spoil any of his tricks. Then come back and watch the whole thing after you've seen him live and watch the whole thing, because it's fucking hilarious. Piff is my answer for the best magic show in Las Vegas right now. He may not have the best tricks - I don't really know enough about magic to say what the best tricks are - but he is by far the most entertained I've ever been at a magic show in Vegas, and he's the only magician I've gone back to see more than once. Piff works well in the Flamingo Showroom Audience fuckery factor: So there's definitely some audience participation in this show. Frankly, I haven't seen a magic show that didn't have volunteers or some type of audience involvement. There's several instances in which Piff asks for volunteers for the audience, but none that I can recall in which people were chosen at random. The showroom itself is gorgeous and reminds me of old Vegas. Seating is comfortable and available at a variety of price points. Seat styles range from “chairs in a row” to table and booth seating. There is drink service during the show, but Mrs. Jaydubs got terribly sick from one of their specialty cocktails, so maybe best to stick with bottles and cans. Shows are currently nightly at 7, dark on Fridays. Tickets start at around $50.
In a city known for its surprises, this episode of The PMS Podcast Show takes it to another level. Pauly Shore, the MTV wild child turned podcast ringleader, brings his offbeat talk show to Las Vegas, and things get out of hand fast. Comedian Gabriel Iglesias—better known as "Fluffy"—is front and center, but when a conversation turns sideways, he does the unthinkable: he walks out, leaving the room in stunned silence and adding another unpredictable chapter to Pauly's book of outrageous moments. But this episode isn't just about Fluffy's dramatic exit. Pauly has assembled a cast that reads like a Vegas fever dream: Piff The Magic Dragon, the deadpan magician who brought a dragon suit to the Las Vegas strip and somehow made it work; Mini Kiss, the pint-sized tribute act delivering arena-level energy on a much smaller scale; Kina Doll and the Micro Mania Wrestlers, bringing their own brand of unpredictable, body-slamming entertainment; plus appearances by Michael Richter, X Country Dancers, and Nicole Tran, rounding out the night with a mix of comedy, dance, and pure Vegas eccentricity. The PMS Podcast Show is Pauly Shore at his most unfiltered—a throwback to his MTV days, but now with a podcast twist. Alongside co-host Nicole Tran, producer Graig Agop, and bartender/chaos catalyst Ryan Mirvis, Pauly dives into off-the-cuff conversations that flip from hilarious to downright bizarre in a heartbeat. With the house band, The Busters, jamming in the background and Pauly's Dollys adding a splash of burlesque, each episode is a high-wire act of comedy and chaos, with Pauly always ready to push things a little further. If you're into raw, unvarnished moments where comedy, drama, and pure WTF collide, this episode has it all. Gabriel Iglesias' unexpected walkout is just the tip of the iceberg in a show that's as unpredictable as Vegas itself. It's the kind of episode that reminds you why Pauly Shore, for all his quirks, is still a master of creating must-watch moments. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just tuning in for the spectacle, The PMS Podcast Show never disappoints. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Angie Jones Interview: Piff the Magic Dragon 11/16/23
These days, our friend Piff is a very busy dragon. Joined by his partner Jade Simone and Mr. Piffles the Wonder Chihuahua, he headlines his own show at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, tours North America (with a completely different show!), and makes numerous television appearances. He is also an author, with a new book recently released through Vanishing, Inc. (You can read my review at Michaelclose.com in the October 2023 Newsletter.) Piff came to the attention of the magic world with his performance on the first season of Penn & Teller: Fool Us. He reached a wider audience with his breakout performances on America's Got Talent in 2015. His rise to success is a true testament to the power of perseverance and hard work; as you'll read in his book, his path contained many ups and downs. I spoke to Piff during a brief lull in his whirlwind schedule. I gained some new insights into this talented performer. I think you'll enjoy our conversation. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/michaelclose/support

Es ist endlich soweit! Das Sabbatjahr des Herrn Batzke beginnt und so richtig fassen kann er das noch gar nicht, doch zumindest hat ihn das Kollegium gebührend verabschiedet, sogar mit Zeugnis. Der Herr Pieler allerdings muss weitermalochen, weshalb diese Folge auch für ihn zwischen Unterricht und Lehrerkonferenz aufgenommen wurde. Wenig Zeit also für viele Themen. So muss der Kondolenzpodcast gleich zweimal bemüht werden, denn sowohl Michail Gorbatschow als auch Hans-Christian Ströbele sind in dieser Woche verstorben. Auch der Tod von Lady Diana jährt sich zum 25. Mal. Um einflussreiche Frauen in der Geschichte geht es auch in der mündlichen Prüfung und im Klopper der Woche steht so Einiges. Hört also diese Folge und wenn ihr damit fertig seid, dann lernt mal ein paar Zaubertricks und führt sie dem Herrn Pieler vor, das freut ihn auf jeden Fall!

August 5th - Erik Davis, Piff The Magic Dragon
Teller's prayer, Piff's new old comedy special, & how to budget a magic show. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Venture into the magical world of Piff The Magic Dragon, who rose to fame from high school hijinx to local magic shows to Edinburgh to Penn & Teller to America's Got Talent to his own show in Vegas! It's enough to inspire any fledgling dragon! Or magician! This Boy of Summer reminds us that there are so many different ways and roads to take to become the thing you are, with plenty of Piff's signature dryly hilarious delivery along the way.
This week, Ira spoke with Piff the Magic Dragon (performing at the Flamingo Thursdays through Mondays at 7 p.m.) who just premiered his first one hour special, “Reptile Dysfunction,” on his YouTube channel. In this episode of Talk About Las Vegas, Piff talks about his new YouTube show (filmed at the Flamingo and around Las Vegas); his decision to perform magic after getting a degree in computer science; performing in Las Vegas and then staying in Las Vegas to headline his own show, thanks to an appearance on “America's Got Talent”; who he looked to for magical inspiration; why show business is made up of lucky breaks and he got his biggest break in America; the challenges of moving into a bigger showroom at the Flamingo; and being the first headliner back on the Las Vegas Strip as COVID receded.
"Get that money, get that money, get that money." - Piff the Magic Dragon In 2014 when I did the Edinburgh festival in Scotland I remember that Piff the Magic Dragon was one of the most popular acts there that year. In 2015 he and his sidekick Mr. Piffles crushed it on America's Got Talent and ever since then he has been headlining the main main at the Flamingo hotel and casino. I was tickled to have this loose and fun conversation with him and I urge you to see his show if you are going to Las Vegas. Vegas is the top of the mountain for magicians and even though this dragon is notoriously grumpy he was kind enough to show me the view from this pinnacle. Hooray for humanity and hooray for Piff the Magic Dragon!

Have you ever heard of resting grumpy face?When John van der Put started doing professional magic, he quickly discovered that he was naturally "too grumpy" to be a magician. He just couldn't keep himself from insulting his audience. This was a huge problem until he made one simple discovery ...He was a dragon.Once John decided that he was actually a dragon (and started dressing like one), his grumpy demeanor and salty comebacks began making sense to his audiences. Although people don't enjoy watching a grumpy man do magic, they love watching a magic dragon do comedy.Now, John goes by his stage name, Piff the Magic Dragon. He was a fan favorite on America's Got Talent, has millions of combined views on YouTube, and is currently a resident performer at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.Join us as he discusses humor and how to use it.
How did a grumpy table magician find a way to turn “being pathetic” into 400 shows a year in his own theatre at Las Vegas? Only Piff The Magic Dragon knows!We'll discover how a shop-bought dragon costume flicked the switch from sackable corporate table guy, to deadpan bulletproof performer and self-styled “loser of America's Got Talent”. Along the way we'll find out why the perfect show will never happen, and why a fear of failure turns most magicians into “hack copycats”…30 mins of extra content available exclusively to the Insiders Club include Piff on the invention of his own tricks, and how something new with a block of jelly has already cost him two and half years and over $70,000; how own bad magic and guilty shortcuts; his evangelist uprising; and what comics can learn from magicians.Go to www.comedianscomedian.com/insiders for this and much more, including the exclusive Insiders Q&As with Nish Kumar, James Acaster and Fern Brady and the incredible “self-help for comedians” special with Amanda Donnet.

Where in the world is Andrew Frasco this week? All signs point to... day drinking in Charleston with his good buddy Chad Cocuzza! Wasn't there something he was supposed to be doing instead?
