On a recent episode of ABC’s popular “Shaq vs.” TV show, basketball great Shaquille O’Neal came to the Las Vegas Strip for showdowns with boxer Sugar Shane Mosley and magicians (and Rio Las Vegas headliners) Penn and Teller.
Check out the full episode online here.
Bonus Shaq factoid: He's released four rap albums. His first album, "Shaq Diesel," went platinum.
In the episode, Shaq challenges Penn Jillette to an illusion-off (not a real term), then commandeers Teller and legendary magic mentor Johnny Thompson to assist with his illusion, “Lift Off.” Sorry, Shaq! Leave the magic to the pros.
You can see “Lift Off,” and other mind-blowing illusions, live at the Penn & Teller show at Rio.
Shaq hangs out with Penn and Teller. He's the one on the left. The seven-foot-plus one.
In the episode, Shaq also takes on Sugar Shane Mosley at Caesars Palace. After losing his exhibition match, Shaq, as promised, strolled around Caesars wearing a pink bikini. We kind of wish he’d won.
Another "Only in Vegas!" moment.
