Penn House

It looks like a high security prison in the windswept desert of Las Vegas, Nevada. But our Mystery Reporter calls this place his real life "Penn house."

Penn Jillette is the big, vocal half of the magical comedy duo, "Penn and Teller." He says, "I would say the success of Penn and Teller is shocking."

But not nearly as shocking as the real electric chair from Sing Sing that Penn keeps in his house. Penn's taste constantly switches from mysteriously macabre to wonderfully whimsical. He says, "The koi pond is shaped exactly like a Goldfish cracker."

Then, to continue Penn’s prison theme, there's a lineup wall. He explains, "Every single person that visits the slammer, I take their picture up against this."

Then there's this tribute to Penn’s partner in comedy. He points out, "This is a crime scene because we have Teller laid out here with a knife. Teller posed for this on the floor."

There's no doubt this is Penn’s playhouse and he has a passion for pink from his cars to his gym. And Penn’s got a music room that quickly converts to his very own movie theatre.

Our magical Mystery Reporter is the first to admit he's just a big kid. He says, "It's a 12-year-old boy with a lot of money."
