From humble beginnings busking on the streets of Philadelphia to acclaimed sold–out runs on Broadway to the longest-running, and one of the most-beloved resident headline acts in Las Vegas history, magic’s legendary duo continues to defy labels—and at times physics and good taste — by redefining the genre of magic and inventing their own very distinct niche in comedy.The duo star in the current hit series Penn & Teller: Fool Us! for The CW Network, on which up-and-comers and magic veterans try to fool Penn & Teller for a chance to star in the pair’s hit Las Vegas stage show. In recent years they’ve become acclaimed documentarians with the release of Tim’s Vermeer, which follows Texas-based inventor Tim Jenison on his quest to discover the methods used by Dutch Master painter Johannes Vermeer.Teller has directed versions of Macbeth and The Tempest that toured to raves from The New York Times and Wall Street Journal, co-wrote and directed the Off-Broadway thriller Play Dead and has written two books. Last season, together, Penn & Teller were unmasked after several spirited performances on The Masked Singer.In 2023, Penn & Teller celebrated 48 years of professional partnership.
We would like to thank long time supporter and sponsor Nix of Nothing. Moz Lunsford has been the creator of our annual poster. From the start of the run to its end they capture all the highlights with their digital artistry. Thanks, Moz!

Every day of Dawn Guard we plan to bring out a product or item we plan to run through the ringer. If we can think of something to try out with it, we'll do it (within bus safe ideas, anyway). Today we had an inflatable tube! We took him in, gave him a name and a face, and had lots of fun with him and Creepy Doll.
Overall, after everything we and Tubert Outbound went through together, Dawn Guard has given our boy 10 out of 10 Tuberts!
At 10am PST today we will be doing a live auction for this beautiful Beauty and the Beast Window Clock. Make sure you've got your donor account in order and get in chat so you can try to win this! If you have any questions, we will have lots of explanations in chat and in person once the auction begins.
We're not far from the silent auction switch over, so let's take a look at what we've got. Who knows, maybe you'll want to try your hand at getting something! Also as a reminder, our silent auction system has changed. Check out this link for more information so you can catch up.
First we have this adorable set of needle-felted art dolls represents four Magic: The Gathering planeswalkers as they appear (or might appear) on the plane of Bloomburrow - cuter than ever! Ral (Crackling Wit) has become an otter, Jace (the Mind Sculptor) is a fox, Liliana (of the Dark Realms) is now a squirrel, and Tamiyo (Field Researcher) is a lop-eared rabbit.
Next is this Hand-drawn Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Map. This mystical map is crafted from a coffee-stained and torn-edged piece of fine vellum, using acrylic inks, Pigma Micron pens, and a few custom designed, 3D printed elements. Important city locations and points of interest from throughout Mario’s journey are illustrated on dimensional “pop-up” panels, and if a need ever arises to collect them again, the location of each Crystal Star has been helpfully denoted as well.
Both of these end at 10am PST!
Next up after those, starting at 10am PST and ending at 6pm PST, we've got two items for you to check out...
First is a set of Copper Coasters with Ea-Nasir Quotes. These nine coasters made from genuine copper products feature English translations interleaved with the cuneiform transcriptions of some choice quotes from amongst the Ea-Nasir tablets found at Ur, notoriously known for containing some of the oldest recorded customer complaints.
The other item is a set of Thalassophobia Tryptich paintings. Invite the horrors of the deep everywhere you go, even the middle of the desert! This set of three watercolour paintings feature scenes from the games Dave the Diver, Dredge, and Subnautica. Each painting was carefully composed with a bold disregard for scale, geography, and biome-restricted spawns.
And again these two will start at 10am PST after the other two have ended. Make sure to search around the site, you never know what you might see...
UPDATE: Everything should be fixed now! Anyone who has purchased a poster already will have the difference in cost reimbursed to them when PMC is able to go in and deal with that. If you have anymore issues or questions please feel free to email us at store@desertbus.org.
Hey everybody! So we unfortunately have been informed of some issues with people ordering the poster. Something is off about the shipping costs - we don't know specifically what's going on unfortunately, but we're working on finding out!
We have contacted PMC to ask about what's going on, but unfortunately we will likely have to wait for the long weekend to pass before we get an answer - we're expecting we won't hear back until Tuesday.
So, until we figure all of this out, we suggest holding off on ordering the poster. If you've already ordered it, don't feel bad if you feel the need to cancel it and reorder it once stuff is worked out. We apologize again for this inconvenience to our lovely audience, but we will do everything we can do fix it!!
