Everyone’s new best friend, Neil Patrick Harris, went to check out Penn & Teller at the Rio Monday night when he was invited backstage to hang out with the magicians. Harris is a big magic fan and sits on the board of directors of the Magic Castle in Los Angeles. We were all into the idea of a Magic Castle and all, but when we found out that it neither floats on a cloud nor is guarded by man-eating unicorns, we were pretty crushed.

He was in town to tape an appearance on Live with Regis & Kelly, which will feature a live open from the cast of The Lion King from Encore Friday at 9 a.m.
