Felony Juggler

A Crime Novel

De: Penn Jillette

Narrado por: Penn Jillette

From Penn Jillette of the legendary magic duo Penn & Teller: A street performer finds himself enmeshed in a crime and must outwit his fellow conspirators in his greatest juggling act yet.

In the early 1970s, Poe is living a nomadic life, hopping trains, sleeping rough, and juggling to feed himself. He eventually settles in Philadelphia and masters his street act before ever-growing crowds. When one of his fellow buskers presents him with an opportunity—a bank heist—he should have refused, an innocent bystander is killed, and he splits town a felon.

Unable to resist the lure of performing, he resurfaces halfway across the country as a regular act in a Renaissance Fair(e). Unfortunately, his notoriety outs him to the criminal organization who believes he took something of importance from them during the bank heist. Using all of the wit and misdirection that has made him the best street performer anyone has ever seen, Poe must outsmart and outmaneuver them in order to return to the peaceful life of juggling.

Drawing from his own youthful experience as a nomadic juggler—before earning international acclaim as one half of the magic duo Penn & Teller—Jillette’s madcap thriller is an authentic and often hilarious glimpse into the pleasures and perils of performing on the street.

Classic Penn Jillette

As a long time Penn & Teller fan, I was delighted to stumble across this gem and honored to write its first review.


I normally dislike when the Author reads their own title and this is the extreme exception. Mr. Jillette is a PHENOMENAL storyteller and will captivate your attention throughout the entire performance.


If you have any interest in street performance, the late 70’s, the philosophic musings of a mostly straight man wanting to be gay, or epic tales of survival and travel; you must check this title out.


This is a classic story from an iconic Entertainer. Even though Penn doesn’t need our money, you will not regret this purchase. 12/12

Classic Penn Jillette in a new format.

I like the way the man tells a story. I liked this story. I appreciated the moral themes and explorations. I pretty much agree with his point of view on life and goodness, I appreciate being invited to think.

And, as stated, it's a good story well told.

Fun all around!
