Penn & Teller’s decades-long magic show at the Rio will resume November 23, but the quiet half of the iconic duo won’t be back onstage until early January. Teller is recovering from late-September triple bypass surgery and had hoped to reconvene for new performances with Penn Jillette this month.

Since he’s not yet ready, illusionist and TV star Michael Carbonaro—who filled in at the Penn & Teller Theater over the summer while the show toured Australia—will perform with Jillette for a run of shows slated for November 23-26 and December 23-January 1.

The shows will combine solo bits from each artist, along with collaborations between Jillette and Carbonaro. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
