We guard the final 50 new products and startups that launch at TechCrunch50 closely, and don’t let anyone know the final list until the day of the event (not even press gets the list). But we also generally pre-announce one of the presenting companies to give the audience a taste of what’s to come.

And this year, I’m very proud to announce that Penn & Teller will be launching a new consumer tech product at TechCrunch50.

Update: they launched!

Update 2: also check out the TC50 backstage interview with Penn Jillette.

The duo has worked together for 30 years, and in September they’ll be celebrating their fifth year as headliners in their own theater at the Rio All-suite Hotel & Casino, as well as two Emmy nominations for one of my favorite shows, their Showtime series “Penn & Teller: Bullshit!” (I even embedded a clip of their show in this post about bottled water).

Plus, Penn Jillette will be on stage showing their new product for the first time to the 2,000 or so people who will be at TechCrunch50. And I think you’re going to love it.

That’s all we’re saying for now. Get your ticket here.
