One of are well known comedic magician, Penn Jillette, has been taped for ‘Dancing With The Stars’!

It seems the Rio is accommodating Jillette magic show schedule closing their performances on Mondays and Tuesdays, but adding additional shows on Fridays. The hotel is also offering a 25% discount for Total Rewards members who print out the online coupon, for shows through March 31st.

“Dancing With the Stars” has also revealed Jillette will be paired with season four runner-up Kym Johnson (who danced with Joey Fatone). That bodes well for the Vegas headliner, though the two will be dancing against the following other celebrities: Olympic ice skater Kristi Yamaguchi, actress Marlee Matlin, actress Marissa Jaret Winokur, tennis ace Monica Seles, actress Shannon Elizabeth, actress Priscilla Presley, actor Christian De La Fuente, tv/radio personality Adam Corolla, actor Steve Guttenberg, singer Mario and NFL star Jason Taylor.

So what do my fans out there think? Will Penn win?
